Here we go again. In the early 2000s while Limp Bizkit was very popular they do not Give a great representative take of what was going on during that time. And this song By Limp Bizkit is not one of their best songs.
There is an uncanny aspect to music from the 2000s that is explainable by the brickwalling that Karl talked about in the 90s mixed with the fact that now producers were able to shift the sounds note by note, chord by chord into perfect time, stripping the music of the imperfections that humans will always have.
Yeah. "quantization" will instantly kill any sort of life a song has. Add ontop of that autotune and brickwall compression and its practically dead. But half a dozen producers want it to be like that.
Just watch the loudness graph at the bottom of the frame. Looks like a (brick) wall! Either the playback levels were set terribly wrong (not likely) or the track has been compressed to within an inch of its life. Also: yes quantization sucks bad. Just cuz we can doesn't mean we should.
@Jaspertine: Some of their deeper tracks are quite good, imo. I just started listening to them recently. (I had only heard a few of their biggest hits back in the 2000s.) I really like their drummer. I just started learning drums, and have been surprised by the drummer in this band when I focused in on him or her. In fact, I've "liked" almost every song I've heard from them on Spotify so far, except some of the big ones that were on the radio. That's not to say you will ever like any of their songs.
@@Marnee4191 Well, I know that among us haters, there is at least some begrudging respect for some of the individual members of the band (guitarist Wes Borland in particular), and there are some who would argue that the band would be decent if someone other than Fred Durst were the main frontman and lyricist.
One of the the many things I appreciate with this channel is that Amy is so honest. In many other reaction channels I've seen they seem to be compelled to always like what they hear (not to disappoint people I suppose). I think it was clear what Amy thought about this song... :)
I love it the way she has a “do people actually intentionally listen to this crap?” look on her face the whole time the song is playing. And when she starts talking at 7:19, she sounds genuinely angry that she is being made to sit through it.
@@Csnich96 it is cool to hate Limp Bizkit, because they are sellout, because they radiof-riendly, because they do not write symphonic classical music, because vocals does not sound like Pavarotti, even because their music does not sound crappy like rock bands 50 years ago, overproduced, etc. F this people, i listen different music from classical to extreme metal, but i sometime like to listen some good old Limp Bizkit and find it groovy, minimalistic, but creative at the same time, everything in it's place and not more. You do not need to have complex musical sheet to be considered a "good" music, sometimes 3 basic chords and a good melody is enough
A. She is not being made to sit through anything. The point was supposed to be learning about musical genres with which she is unfamiliar. B. Why would anyone be bothered that other people like something that they don’t?
I swear I thought she was going to say "the thing that bothers me is that the performance sounds like...a closeted man pretending to be overtly heterosexual"
Amy, dump Karl and learn from YT channel Professor Of Rock instead. Karl is teaching you all the wrong information by picking poor choices as examples of music to represent an era. As for what I would have picked for the early 2000s it would have been "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes.
I was a teenager when this type of music was very popular, I think it's such a big reason why I shunned trendy music my peers liked and discovered the underground. GOD DETHRONED!
Indeed. I was a school kid about this time too, I believe only Green Day, with American idiot caught my ears. Most of what I listened to this time was Classic Rock from 70's/80's and power metal. By the time, I hated Linkin' Park and Limp Bizkit with my whole heart. Nowadays I feel more open to this kind of music, but I still don't like, I just don't hate it.
Oh Carl, I'm sure you knew what you were doing by picking one of the most hated artists of this era, but you have kicked the hornet's nest for sure. Perhaps this was a necessary exercise in order to grow her appreciation of the better stuff, or maybe you are just an iconoclast, idk.
Iron Maiden? Queensryche? Nirvana? Alice in Chains? Slayer? Judas Priest? Anthrax? Kreator? Meshuggah? Muse? Radiohead? Yes? Death? Immortal? Ozzy Osbourne or Dio solo work? Wintersun? Faith No More? Another symphonic metal band? Better/more well known songs from artists that Amy has already reacted to? No, none of that. The complete and utter travesty that is Limp Bizkit? Yep! That's the one!
Cudos for at least mentioning one Black Metal band. We could've been talking about the genre ever since the '80s and definitely should've done in the '90s. BTw check out Mercenary's "Everblack" 2002 album for an outstanding 'Death Metal that has gone Melodic' album - if you haven't already that is.
@@MotorbreathChannel Would love to see a classical musicians perception and breakdown to the more symphonic Black Metal like Dimmu from Puritanical to present or Cradle of Filth, Satyricon with the Norway orchestra.
@@NPK476 I dunno, I've never been much of a fan of Dimmu and Satyricon. I love CoF though and agree that there are interesting tracks to analyze there. Have you ever encountered Enslavement of Beauty? Neoclassic Black. If not, then check out their composition called "And To Temptation's Darkness Forever Abide"
The start of widespread use of Pro Tools and mixing templates in music production. With a few button presses you too can sound like your favorite band!
that "boredom and lack of ambition" you're hearing is the over-commercialization of the music industry at the time. A lot of "Producers" thought they knew what people would pay to listen too, then found a group of people to portray that style, and there you have 2000's pop. This is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the early 2000's "nu-metal" movement. Eventually, you'll hear music by groups like the Deftones, Tool, Incubus, Linkin Park, and System of a Down. Bands like these were elevating music and being quite experimental. Limp Bizkit was created by the industry, as vanilla pudding for rock radio, which began it's slow death around this time.
Sure, that's why they spent 3 years being rejected, by labels working clubs and having to build relationships with signed bands like Korn, before they got signed. It's fine to not like them, but don't spit on the work they put in by making it sound like they were a Spice Girls, KPOP sort of manufactured project. They did, and still do, write their own songs. They went platinum many times over, and they did it themselves. And no, I'm not some fanboy... but to act like a band, ANY band, that put in the work and made it big was some sort of manufactured product just because YOU don't like them... that is beyond disrespectful, not to mention incredibly pretentious.
Nah, it's just that Fred Durst never took voice lessons and isn't a professional singer, and never really planned on being a singer when the band first started, so all the notes he hits are very flat. He came into the nu metal scene as it was starting at the beginning almost entirely focusing on screams and harsh vocals. By the third album, the band had gotten way bigger than intended and everything sort of wound up out of their control, and they eventually mutated into this commercial, confused product as a result. His flat, dull clean vocals coupled with the nauseating repetition of the chorus over, and over, and over again really shows a band struggling between trying to write their own music and being pressured by the label into copying and pasting two simplistic sections over and over to fill time for a radio hit. The structure is uninspired and bored, the singer is bored, the band is bored. Her analysis makes sense, but this isn't the same Limp Bizkit as the Limp Bizkit from 1996 or 97. Also, it's hilarious of you to include Linkin Park in that list, a band practically manufactured in a lab by a record company to be the perfect nu metal version of a boy band, with pretty faces, fake emo edgy lyrics, and equally cookie cutter and formulaic song structures. "In the End" and "My Way" practically follow the same formula of watering down nu metal, removing most of the metal and harsh vocals, endlessly repeating the whiny chorus, throwing in some generic rapping, and calling it a day. Both songs even have the exact same cringey turntable effect. There's nothing experimental going on in what was an even more refined and commercial product than what Chocolate Starfish ended up being lol.
Amy I want you to know that this is definitely not representative of 2000 rock, this is actually the very low end of it. There are bands like System of a Dawn, The Killers and others way better, I can't believe Karl is making those choices for you!
To be quite honest with you a lot of Karl’s picks Are not helping Amy learn about the progression of rock music generally. It seems to be a team of this series.
The biggest issue is sticking to TWO SONGS per decade. Yes, they said they will go back, but just two songs isn't enough to really describe a decade, especially as music progresses, or regresses when it comes to Limp Bizkit. While I was kinda glad he didn't pick Smells like teen spirit, he picked a very mid 90s (1994) song to represent the start of the decade? Honestly wish he did pick teen spirit in retrospect.
@@AbcdEfgh-xj4qyMost reaction channels won't ever say they don't like a particular group or song. It's refreshing to see one that is honest about it. I can also tell she isn't very impressed with heavy metal, but doesn't quite come out and say it directly. So far it seems like she is more favorable to easy listening rock and progressive rock, but even then she doesn't display the natural tendency of the head bob or finger tapping.
Music did NOT go to shit. Carl is simply incompetant at introducing music historically and picking representative songs. This whole project has been a disaster from the start.
@@shacharh5470 Music mostly became bland and overly produced. That does not mean that there wasn't some good music. There were good bands in 2000's. The point here is to show how music developped through decades. Rock went from mainstream to alternative or fusioned with rap, hip-hop, pop. The 'real' rock became a niche thing, whether we like it or not.
@@daisy9664 Their plan is to revisit decades and go more in depth? I missed that somehow. I literally thought the whole project is one video and 2 song picks to talk about each decade. The whole concept/design is bad. But if I were wrong it could yet prove interesting after all
@@daisy9664 I disagree. The music community and market gradually became more ad more fragmented ever since the 1990's. So today it's no longer about big names vs. small ones. Every niche has its own superstars and smaller acts. And most niches have consistently had at least some good quality music made every year, for decades, and even ground breaking artists continue to pop up in many genres every few years, up to these days. It's just that the best ways of discovering music are different today than what they used to be, so old (or old fashioned) people get the wrong impression.
I was just thinking the other day "I hope Virgin Rock listens to some music that she would have classified as 'noise' before this project started and see what she thinks of it now." Mission accomplished. The "stutter" effect I believe is made using turntables, where the DJ will pick a hook (like "check out my melody") or two (or more depending on how many turntables they have) and manually spin the record(s) back and forth as it plays for various effects. This is one of the influences of hip-hop getting absorbed into rock.
Best reaction ever: "I don't know if I like this." This misses a lot of context without Rage Against the Machine or any of the previous alternative or rap or punk crossover influences that led to this commericalized Frankenstein's monster.
I'm not sure why Limp Bizkit. I would have chosen Linkin Park. I have see both live. Limp Bizkit was good but Linkin Park was on totally another level.
please don't be disturbed by the haters. This is a decent example of the era. I never bought anything by Limp Bizket...But they did have a fan base at that time.
It's kind of hilarious seeing Amy, who seems like a really sweet, nice person and polite to a fault, try really, really hard to not be mean or harshly critical here, even though it's obvious that she doesn't like this, and come up with all sorts of roundabout ways to avoid saying what she's clearly thinking. And, if she wants to listen to a much better rock-rap song, Aerosmith's collaboration with Run-DMC on Walk This Way is vastly and incomparably better. It's ok to not like a piece of music and say so, and people will respect you for it. But it's also good to sometimes listen to music you normally wouldn't listen to and don't like, to be open-minded.
Korn and Limp Bizkit are both NU Metal genre leaders from early 2000s expect Korn is on a different level and massively loved for their creativity, theme and style or just go with everyone's favorite System of a Down.
Alot of elitism in these comments... "I don't listen anything newer than 90's rock", well wohoo, congrats on becoming stagnant... Limp Bizkit had their brief moment in the spotlight. A lot of people liked them and alot of people hated them at the time. They do represent the culture of the 2000's quite well. I can see why this was chosen, even if there are clearly better songs and bands from that era. Here's hoping that the next song is more interesting and shows that the 2000's also had good rock music coming out.
The bigger difference, at least for me, is that starting around 2002-ish, was kind of the point where I felt like I had to start doing my own research and digging up obscure indie bands in order to find listenable rock music, because TV and Radio were fixated on Creed, Limp Bizkit and Nickelback. Things did get better. But the early to mid 2000s were pretty dire.
I listen to rock music from the 50's up to today. I listen to lot of bands from the 2000's. You can find good rock music from every period. Sometimes you have to dig a little. Elitism because not liking this band, no. You don't have to like everything and there is a reason for why so many don't like this. But Carl can have a good reason for choosing this. The band was very popular and the were many bands similar to this.
I actually think the best thing about LB is their grooves. It’s the soft parts of this song, with the killer bass and razor sharp drums, that I think are the best.
yep, groove, minimalism, amazing bass and drum playing, that's the whole point of this music to be catchy and groovy. But people here will not understand, there is a bunch of elitists, who think, if music does not have a harp and trombone in it, or if no complex polyrhytms or chord progressions, then that music sucks.
@@oleksiistri8429 I agree. I think that the host - whose channel I adore - often fails to meet the music on its own terms, and brings inapt considerations from other musical genres and types. Taste is taste of course, but if one is going to try and understand a genre that is alien to oneself, an effort not to bring a lot of preconceptions is necessary. Coming to pop or rock with classical preconceptions and standards will just insure you that you “get” the pop/rock closest to classical. It’s no surprise that she loved Genesis and disliked this. But that seems somewhat at odds with the point of the exercise.
I'm listening to this because of how often i see the interwebs severely mock Limp Bizkit, and how strongly one always disliked them. Was looking for a second, more informed opinion. :)
London ontario! Saw 226 on the wall "hey thats my area code". Was very likely just 3 buildings over when this was being filmed. Always weird when you come across a local connection online randomly.
Am disappointed this is veering towards uninspiring music. I thought Wonder Wall was a blip but not limp bizkit...please. There are so many great songs to go deep on. Radiohead, karnivool, Jeff Buckley, etc...
I listened to a LOT of rock radio in this era, and I found many of the heavy hits incredibly beautiful despite the overproduction, cookie-cutter sound, uninspired lyrics, etc, etc. I’m sad that this song was chosen as Amy’s first impression. I don’t think it represents the highlights of the nu-metal era very well at all. I haven’t watched her reaction yet but I predict the gist will be “WHY would anyone listen to this kind of music” … for which there are many excellent musical responses. Oh well.
The “stutter effect” you are referring to is a turntable. Also, the reason everything sounds so big is because of specific “scratches” & inserts from the turntable, I think there’s a keyboard in there too. If you get to it Sid Wilson of Slipknot has, in my humble opinion, mastered the art of underlying specific tones, effects, “scratches” etc under the bass & guitars to make them sound monstrous while being almost imperceivable at the same time.
Sorry, I love Limp Bizkit! I also love classic prog and neoprog, classic rock, metal, R&B, motown, new age, folk, celtic, techno, new wave, alt rock (including grunge), industrial, jazz fusion, movie scores, the latest rock from Japan, and classical. And no, I definitely do not love ALL music.
I would never have decided to introduce anyone to 2000’s music with Limp Bizkit. I guess it’s good to put the rest of the music in the context of the time. Why not Deftones if you want to explore that style of music?
Because this series is not about what the best music of that era was. It’s about what played. I’m sure we’ll get to deftones over time, just have to get through the hard parts first :/
My first reaction when saw the thumbnail was to check the date. No, it's wasn't the 1st of April. My next reaction was, " Oh, my goodness! Why? " There are actually "Nu-metal" bands out there that are interesting and much more worthy. This isn't even one of Limp Biskit's better songs. I can't even bring myself to watch, such is the cringe.
I’m not gonna complain about the song choice although yes there were many much better options. Even linkin park would’ve been a more interesting pick. However let’s be real this stuff was huge in those days .
I'm still going to have to have faith in Carl's method into the musical madness ... am anxious to see and hear where it goes, as it approaches the present. I'm even more looking forward to the tour through each decade's chronology of hits, etc., presuming that's coming soon. Thanks Amy and Carl, et al 😉 (Baby's getting some early educational vibrations from all this, too!) 😛
in some eras certain genres are not giving you the best of what you could hear... lots of creative and entertaining rock music at this time .. karl went nu-metalish and that's his mistake in showing what rock had to offer . this is his old head perspective . he's tunneled out .
That's true! I used to hate Limp Bizkit (as did most of the people) durin 2000's. I was a metal girlie listening to black-, death-, progressive- and doom metal (with also a classical music training after playing violin over 25 years) as well as many othe genres I deemed worthwile. Nu metal wasn't that for me in any way. I couldn't see anything good in the band. It was way later, when I got over my snobbish attitudes towards music genres and started also to listen to the styles of music I didn't understand before, that I started to listen to hip hop as well. Now I really love old school 90's hip hop and hear it's influences in LB music also. I started to date a guy who listens a lot of LB and got to know their music from the time before they were popular. There's some great stuff (and nice cover art) there. And yes, the instrumental version of Creamer is one of my favourites from them. Most of the stuff that played in the radio from LB during 2000's is defenately not their best work. Sometimes you have to dig a bit deeper to find something worthwile in a band. Also Fred Durst may be a controversial lead singer in many ways but I do respect the fact that he refused to use autotune in an era when everything was autotuned to pieces.
I want one of those Axl Rose pianos that plays the song automatically no matter which keys you hit. There was a South Park episode where Randy saw the kids playing Rock Band and got out his guitar and played the songs for them and they didn't understand what he was doing and thought it was stupid because it was way too hard. Soon it will just be a text box that you put words into and the computer will create a song based on your text and everyone will think they are amazing musicians. Same as what happened to painting and photography. Technology is moving in a horribly wrong direction. My hope for the future generations is that they begin see through the fakery and reject it.
Well, I expected Linkin Park, but definitely not Limp Bizkit. I am really not sure how much they were even popular. Maybe they were in USA but certainly not that much in Europe. Or maybe I wasn't aware of their popularity and importance back then. I don't know. And also, I hear this song for the first time, but I know they have several much bigger and, in my opinion, better songs (although I have never really been a fan of any of their songs).
People forget how big Limp Bizkit actually was during their time. They may have been disliked by the general metal/rock crowd but in terms of stardom they were dumby thicc. Way bigger than most others. I would’ve gone for Linkin Park but I reckon Karl wants to talk about something pertaining to LB here.
@@LeeKennison Hey Lee! Great to hear from you! No, you haven't missed anything, I am just really not in the mood lately for most of reaction content, so I'm definitely not as active here as before. But I am checking what's going on. Hope you are doing fine and hope to talk more. 😊🤘
Some people fall into the misconception that music is something evolutionary. Yes, there is an evolution, but "evolutionary" in the biological sense would mean: evolution towards a better adaptation. And that implies a progression from the less to the better-adapted. An optimization. But the musical development is NOT an optimization, but an adaptation to the taste of the time. The taste of the time is a factor without value. value neutral. As a result, this means two things: 1. All those who believe that modern music is better than "old-fashioned" are wrong. 2. Old music can be significantly better at modern. This was impressively demonstrated by this example of music, if you compare it with the 1960s or 1970s. 😉
Such nonence. There is development is a good way. Its not general. Like System of a Down, Radiohead, White Stripes. You can find tons of examples with creativity and authencity.
@@addickkelders2265 And you think: development means that the quality increases. To put it on another subject: Picasso's pictures are better than Rembrandt's? Or do you agree that art is only evolving by changing their means of expression. But this has nothing to do with quality.
@@PeterBuwen you’re not reading well. I said that its not general quality increases or decreases. And I think you’re right that development isnt always the right direction. Whatever that may be, it is different for everybody. But I think Amy deserves a better introduction to popmusic than Motley Crue or Limp Bizkit. Why? Because they not the impact than many other big names.
For what it's worth, rock did eventually get better. Still ain't what it was, but it's still a hell of a lot more listenable now than it was in the 2000s.
There are some great musicians in this band. But the songwriting is derivative and shallow in an attempt at gaining mass appeal. I didn't coin the term "Over Produced", but I love to use it to describe stuff like this. Bands that are introduced as "recording artists". This is a good example of how much music from this time was trying to be the big new pop sound by stealing bits and pieces from what was recently popular. 🤘🧙♂️🤘 Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
Also bored is a great way to put it, in my recollection it was popular with teenagers trying to affect apathy and stones, as well as the overlap between both groups. That might have also been part of the appeal for them.
Unpopular opinion: Nickleback is more representative of the 2000s. They were all over Top 40 radio. Limp Bizbit is the reason why I never listened to Linkin Park, because I thought that mixing rock and hip-hop would all be as boring as Bizkit.
Amy, feel free to never listen to a Limp Bizkit song ever again. A Patron could offer you $10,000 to react to "Break Things" and it still wouldn't be worth it. They truly are one of the worst things to happen to music as a whole. It all comes down to Fred Durst (lead singer) and their producers. The rest of the band is actually quite talented and capable, they just got saddled to this garbage.
Ah, yes, the golden age of music when when whiny, entitled kids could score major record deals. They'd get thrown into a fancy studio with top-notch producers, and voila! A few hit albums later, they'd throw a fit and chuck all their expensive trainers out of the pram. All the candyfloss probably didnt help either.
4:08 Im assuming youre referring to after effects to enhance sonic quality. Because I have been a musical instrumentalist my entire life and i recently aquired turntables. The skill, precise timing, musical understanding and just overall talent needed to just play that, "Check check out my melody" part cannot be understated! Lol
I actually like early Limp Bizkit, sue me haha Part of it is nostalgia too though, because I associate the music videos with their songs and I was in middle schools watching them on TRL at 3:30pm eating pizza rolls with friends.
So many Limp Bizkit haters in the comments, I am surprised. But I think haters don't actually listen to their music carefully. Yes, a lot of Limp Bizkit songs are just groovy and catchy anf in-your-face but they have songs like Re-Arranged, Phenomenon, Cream and Behind Blue Eyes (which is a cover but still) that show band's musical prowess.
Limb Bizkit rock the 2000 era. If I was selecting, I’d choose Bizkit too. They appealed to the young, like the Beatles, and looking back, My Way, says more about Bizkit than 2000s, When I think about music from the 2000s, how it grown, and expanded. You would rip and burn CDs. The internet, iPods, Napster. Parents asking what you listening to? Limp Bizkit
The "bored" bit - interesting you pick up on that, because by this point, Limp Bizkit had already been the "it" band and Fred Durst already a playboy of sorts, so they were at a point of manufacturing hits. The "wildness" of Durst in this is much more manufactured than in the early days of Limp Bizkit where it's more raw. Still a good song musically IMO compared to a lot of their stuff, but I feel like if they released this when they were first coming about, it would've been made a much better song. I find with almost every group that started in the late 80s and 90s, you hear the REAL band in their first album and/or EP or two and then as they gain popularity, you hear more of a production. Even bands I love who still made great music through that transition still have that happen. Bands like Sugar Ray and Smashmouth are at the extreme end, where more or less the one time they deviated from their usual sound ended up becoming a hit, so they pretty much abandoned their usual sound, but even groups like Korn and 311 went from raw to polished over the course of 2-4 albums, and since it's not really novel for them, it doesn't have the same oomph as the earlier stuff. It's neat you picked up on it in this without even hearing their earlier stuff.
I am going to be brave and admit I had a phase as a teen where I liked some Limp Bizkit. Embarrassing, I know, but I also was not a native English speaker. Overall their music aged quite badly compared to their peers but they were selling well for a moment in the 2000s.
I was a teenager in the 80's, and I can't believe some of the bands that I listened to. About the only good thing I can say about most of them was they knew how to play their instruments well. I hope in 10 to 20 years there will be grown-ups saying they can't believe the garbage that they listened to in the 2010's and 20's.
It's always been funny to me that this song keeps playing a sample of "check out my melody", when melody is barely existent...and the melody that actually is there is so rudimentary. Because "check out my melody" in this context is bragging...it's telling the listener that the melody is going to be mind-blowing. And it absolutely isn't.
Volume is brick wall except few quiet parts. It's brick even when they aren't going for the most powerful parts in the song. Compressed to the max where the sound gets digital distortion.
Beautiful reaction! Youre missing the MPC machine with turntables. That is a computer and was massive during this era. They can computerize all instruments (guitar, bass, drums) and make their own sounds in top of that. But 💯 such a geuine, wholesome reaction
So sorry you were forced to listen to this! I didn't. I just fast forwarded to where I could see you were talking to hear your comments on it. You weren't off base at all. Although there are certainly exceptions (Tool, for example, continues to put out amazing music), IMHO rock took a deep dive for the worse after the 90s. The producers engineered all of the soul/humanity out of it. Maybe that will be Karl's point, I dunno.
Rock might have taken a deep dive after the 90s - I don't know. I do not listen to much Rock. Extreme Metal has never died though. Maybe it is just that a lot of creativity went underground?
@@MotorbreathChannel Oh yeah - Definitely some great stuff still out there. You just don't hear it on the radio. I should have specified "commercial" rock.
@@jcparker500 Nah, it's all good. I am glad that we agree on that. And also I am from a country, where radio is not that much of an influence. MTV was back when it actually played music. And ever since it was either the CD stores or the internet. Word of mouth basically.
Wow this is definitely an interesting pick. As you've probably noticed, Limp Bizkit doesn't have the greatest reputation among rock fans, but that's fine, since the band itself didn't really intend to be liked by everyone. Their sound is fine overall, it's mostly the lyrics that are hard to take seriously, that's the case for me at least. In terms of music from around the same time, System of A Down is a must listen.
Yeah, Limp Bizkit for me was always like the stupid little brother of Rage Against The Machine, who was swapped at birth and raised by rednecks. The first 2 albums were pretty good, but with the success came the downfall. Though I still like Take A Look Around from the 3rd album.
@@lightlezs7048 The thing about SOAD is that when you listen to them, you know that they have a sense of humor - they don't always take themselves too seriously. When you listen to Limp Bizkit, it's difficult to tell whether they are being serious or ironic. Then again, I don't think this kind of "let's make fun of douchebags by being one" kind of irony existed back then - pretty sure they didn't write the lyrics to be funny, but they legitimately thought they sounded cool. And I'm sure the teenagers back then also bought it. So, the difference between SOAD being silly and Limp Bizkit being silly is that SOAD were clearly self aware about their silliness, whereas Limp Bizkit were (most likely) trying to sound cool, and the silliness is more unintentional. Then again, there's a certain kind of charm about honest boasting. These days, you can only do that ironically. But back then, it made you cool. Like, back then people were like "yo yo, look at how cool I am", and they did it honestly. Try doing that today, and people will just laugh at you. People today tend to be a lot more self aware. And this kind of stuff only works if you do it ironically. Even if you are somewhat serious about it, you still need to approach it through a couple of layers of irony.

I've never clicked faster than watch a professional musician listen to early 2000s Limp Bizkit 😂. Let's see what you think
Yes I was prepared to be amused, and wasn't disappointed haha
As I thought... She thinks it's crap
@@mauriciomijares7286 I'm glad she is being honest and not bsing to appease her audience.
who are picking these songs lmao
this band was and is still quite amazing.
Here we go again.
In the early 2000s while Limp Bizkit was very popular they do not Give a great representative take of what was going on during that time.
And this song By Limp Bizkit is not one of their best songs.
There is an uncanny aspect to music from the 2000s that is explainable by the brickwalling that Karl talked about in the 90s mixed with the fact that now producers were able to shift the sounds note by note, chord by chord into perfect time, stripping the music of the imperfections that humans will always have.
Yeah. "quantization" will instantly kill any sort of life a song has. Add ontop of that autotune and brickwall compression and its practically dead.
But half a dozen producers want it to be like that.
Just watch the loudness graph at the bottom of the frame. Looks like a (brick) wall! Either the playback levels were set terribly wrong (not likely) or the track has been compressed to within an inch of its life. Also: yes quantization sucks bad. Just cuz we can doesn't mean we should.
This is true for a lot of recordings, but there are lots of imperfections on this track.
Watching Amy's face while listening to Limp Bizkit is high comedy! Love it!
On behalf of humanity, I'm terribly sorry for all this.
Limp Bizkit is a cruel and unusual punishment that nobody should be subjected to.
One of the greatest bands of all time, creators of a new genre. And btw, they fit in to show 2000s musical development perfectly.
😂😂😂
@@MetalGearyaTV this band is grossly overpriced rubbish.
@Jaspertine: Some of their deeper tracks are quite good, imo. I just started listening to them recently. (I had only heard a few of their biggest hits back in the 2000s.) I really like their drummer. I just started learning drums, and have been surprised by the drummer in this band when I focused in on him or her. In fact, I've "liked" almost every song I've heard from them on Spotify so far, except some of the big ones that were on the radio. That's not to say you will ever like any of their songs.
@@Marnee4191 Well, I know that among us haters, there is at least some begrudging respect for some of the individual members of the band (guitarist Wes Borland in particular), and there are some who would argue that the band would be decent if someone other than Fred Durst were the main frontman and lyricist.
Using Limp Bizkit as introduction to any era of music is like using dog food as introduction to breakfast cereals. 😆
Kinda ya lol
😂
I can't believe I still have to be haunted by this crap! I thought I was free!
@@adamhenton6221 It's funny how TH-cam offered me to translate your comment into English
That was perfect 😂
I'm so sorry you had to listen to Limp Bizkit. Your sacrifice is appreciated.
One of the the many things I appreciate with this channel is that Amy is so honest. In many other reaction channels I've seen they seem to be compelled to always like what they hear (not to disappoint people I suppose). I think it was clear what Amy thought about this song... :)
I love it the way she has a “do people actually intentionally listen to this crap?” look on her face the whole time the song is playing. And when she starts talking at 7:19, she sounds genuinely angry that she is being made to sit through it.
Can you blame her? This isn't even music. It's complete garbage.
This was the theme song to the greatest wrestlemania of all time! I had no idea people actually hated this song
@@Csnich96 it is cool to hate Limp Bizkit, because they are sellout, because they radiof-riendly, because they do not write symphonic classical music, because vocals does not sound like Pavarotti, even because their music does not sound crappy like rock bands 50 years ago, overproduced, etc. F this people, i listen different music from classical to extreme metal, but i sometime like to listen some good old Limp Bizkit and find it groovy, minimalistic, but creative at the same time, everything in it's place and not more. You do not need to have complex musical sheet to be considered a "good" music, sometimes 3 basic chords and a good melody is enough
A. She is not being made to sit through anything. The point was supposed to be learning about musical genres with which she is unfamiliar.
B. Why would anyone be bothered that other people like something that they don’t?
I swear I thought she was going to say "the thing that bothers me is that the performance sounds like...a closeted man pretending to be overtly heterosexual"
Amy, dump Karl and learn from YT channel Professor Of Rock instead. Karl is teaching you all the wrong information by picking poor choices as examples of music to represent an era.
As for what I would have picked for the early 2000s it would have been "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes.
Harsh, but true. I am really surprised he picked this. Seven Nation Army is a way better choice.
I was a teenager when this type of music was very popular, I think it's such a big reason why I shunned trendy music my peers liked and discovered the underground. GOD DETHRONED!
Indeed. I was a school kid about this time too, I believe only Green Day, with American idiot caught my ears. Most of what I listened to this time was Classic Rock from 70's/80's and power metal. By the time, I hated Linkin' Park and Limp Bizkit with my whole heart. Nowadays I feel more open to this kind of music, but I still don't like, I just don't hate it.
I can see why this might appeal to a teenager. A very young teenager.
Oh Carl, I'm sure you knew what you were doing by picking one of the most hated artists of this era, but you have kicked the hornet's nest for sure. Perhaps this was a necessary exercise in order to grow her appreciation of the better stuff, or maybe you are just an iconoclast, idk.
this is looking like carls playlist
Iron Maiden? Queensryche? Nirvana? Alice in Chains? Slayer? Judas Priest? Anthrax? Kreator? Meshuggah? Muse? Radiohead? Yes? Death? Immortal? Ozzy Osbourne or Dio solo work? Wintersun? Faith No More? Another symphonic metal band? Better/more well known songs from artists that Amy has already reacted to? No, none of that.
The complete and utter travesty that is Limp Bizkit? Yep! That's the one!
Cudos for at least mentioning one Black Metal band. We could've been talking about the genre ever since the '80s and definitely should've done in the '90s. BTw check out Mercenary's "Everblack" 2002 album for an outstanding 'Death Metal that has gone Melodic' album - if you haven't already that is.
Great list past to present.
@@MotorbreathChannel Would love to see a classical musicians perception and breakdown to the more symphonic Black Metal like Dimmu from Puritanical to present or Cradle of Filth, Satyricon with the Norway orchestra.
@@NPK476 I dunno, I've never been much of a fan of Dimmu and Satyricon. I love CoF though and agree that there are interesting tracks to analyze there. Have you ever encountered Enslavement of Beauty? Neoclassic Black. If not, then check out their composition called "And To Temptation's Darkness Forever Abide"
Such a pretentious and boring comment
I don't know exactly what happened. But something went terribly wrong in 2000 and things haven't been right ever since.
The start of widespread use of Pro Tools and mixing templates in music production. With a few button presses you too can sound like your favorite band!
@@allisonal Lauren Daigle, K.K. Downing, and Dan McCafferty are my last hopes.
that "boredom and lack of ambition" you're hearing is the over-commercialization of the music industry at the time. A lot of "Producers" thought they knew what people would pay to listen too, then found a group of people to portray that style, and there you have 2000's pop. This is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the early 2000's "nu-metal" movement. Eventually, you'll hear music by groups like the Deftones, Tool, Incubus, Linkin Park, and System of a Down. Bands like these were elevating music and being quite experimental. Limp Bizkit was created by the industry, as vanilla pudding for rock radio, which began it's slow death around this time.
I’m glad she heard this for that point though. I really hope it comes up in the discussion.
Sure, that's why they spent 3 years being rejected, by labels working clubs and having to build relationships with signed bands like Korn, before they got signed.
It's fine to not like them, but don't spit on the work they put in by making it sound like they were a Spice Girls, KPOP sort of manufactured project.
They did, and still do, write their own songs. They went platinum many times over, and they did it themselves.
And no, I'm not some fanboy... but to act like a band, ANY band, that put in the work and made it big was some sort of manufactured product just because YOU don't like them... that is beyond disrespectful, not to mention incredibly pretentious.
Limp Bizkit's first album is pretty original and not commercial at all
Nah, it's just that Fred Durst never took voice lessons and isn't a professional singer, and never really planned on being a singer when the band first started, so all the notes he hits are very flat. He came into the nu metal scene as it was starting at the beginning almost entirely focusing on screams and harsh vocals. By the third album, the band had gotten way bigger than intended and everything sort of wound up out of their control, and they eventually mutated into this commercial, confused product as a result. His flat, dull clean vocals coupled with the nauseating repetition of the chorus over, and over, and over again really shows a band struggling between trying to write their own music and being pressured by the label into copying and pasting two simplistic sections over and over to fill time for a radio hit. The structure is uninspired and bored, the singer is bored, the band is bored. Her analysis makes sense, but this isn't the same Limp Bizkit as the Limp Bizkit from 1996 or 97.
Also, it's hilarious of you to include Linkin Park in that list, a band practically manufactured in a lab by a record company to be the perfect nu metal version of a boy band, with pretty faces, fake emo edgy lyrics, and equally cookie cutter and formulaic song structures. "In the End" and "My Way" practically follow the same formula of watering down nu metal, removing most of the metal and harsh vocals, endlessly repeating the whiny chorus, throwing in some generic rapping, and calling it a day. Both songs even have the exact same cringey turntable effect. There's nothing experimental going on in what was an even more refined and commercial product than what Chocolate Starfish ended up being lol.
I had no idea the goats LB were that hated before reading these comments
Amy I want you to know that this is definitely not representative of 2000 rock, this is actually the very low end of it. There are bands like System of a Dawn, The Killers and others way better, I can't believe Karl is making those choices for you!
To be quite honest with you a lot of Karl’s picks Are not helping Amy learn about the progression of rock music generally.
It seems to be a team of this series.
Yeah Carl‘s been making off-the-wall picks since the beginning. Think how much better this series would have been if she had someone making good pics
sad!
@@johnnada. indeed sad. It is the fastest way to get Amy back to the classical corner. And Totally justifyable!
The biggest issue is sticking to TWO SONGS per decade. Yes, they said they will go back, but just two songs isn't enough to really describe a decade, especially as music progresses, or regresses when it comes to Limp Bizkit.
While I was kinda glad he didn't pick Smells like teen spirit, he picked a very mid 90s (1994) song to represent the start of the decade? Honestly wish he did pick teen spirit in retrospect.
Limp Bizkit. One of the most overrated and THE WORST rock bands in the Rock Music history. This kind of commercial rock is pure junk.
Glad to see you can be honest and say when you don't like a selection.
Because the song sucks😂
@@AbcdEfgh-xj4qyMost reaction channels won't ever say they don't like a particular group or song. It's refreshing to see one that is honest about it. I can also tell she isn't very impressed with heavy metal, but doesn't quite come out and say it directly. So far it seems like she is more favorable to easy listening rock and progressive rock, but even then she doesn't display the natural tendency of the head bob or finger tapping.
Aaaahhh, now I understand. Karl is Punking you. Got it. Looking forward to his suggestions of Collective Soul and Nickelback.
And both of them are better than this crap
One reason so many rockers tuned out beginning in the 90s was the incorporation of rap into rock.
Me all day long
Limp Bizkit... dear lord. But they were popular at the time and if Carl wants to show you how music slowly went to shit, this is a good pick 😊
Music did NOT go to shit. Carl is simply incompetant at introducing music historically and picking representative songs. This whole project has been a disaster from the start.
@@shacharh5470 Music mostly became bland and overly produced. That does not mean that there wasn't some good music. There were good bands in 2000's. The point here is to show how music developped through decades. Rock went from mainstream to alternative or fusioned with rap, hip-hop, pop. The 'real' rock became a niche thing, whether we like it or not.
@@shacharh5470 Oh I was also dissapointed with some picks but it is what it is. Hopefully it will get better when they do decades in-depth.
@@daisy9664 Their plan is to revisit decades and go more in depth? I missed that somehow. I literally thought the whole project is one video and 2 song picks to talk about each decade. The whole concept/design is bad. But if I were wrong it could yet prove interesting after all
@@daisy9664 I disagree. The music community and market gradually became more ad more fragmented ever since the 1990's. So today it's no longer about big names vs. small ones. Every niche has its own superstars and smaller acts.
And most niches have consistently had at least some good quality music made every year, for decades, and even ground breaking artists continue to pop up in many genres every few years, up to these days.
It's just that the best ways of discovering music are different today than what they used to be, so old (or old fashioned) people get the wrong impression.
I was just thinking the other day "I hope Virgin Rock listens to some music that she would have classified as 'noise' before this project started and see what she thinks of it now."
Mission accomplished.
The "stutter" effect I believe is made using turntables, where the DJ will pick a hook (like "check out my melody") or two (or more depending on how many turntables they have) and manually spin the record(s) back and forth as it plays for various effects. This is one of the influences of hip-hop getting absorbed into rock.
Best reaction ever: "I don't know if I like this." This misses a lot of context without Rage Against the Machine or any of the previous alternative or rap or punk crossover influences that led to this commericalized Frankenstein's monster.
I'm not sure why Limp Bizkit. I would have chosen Linkin Park. I have see both live. Limp Bizkit was good but Linkin Park was on totally another level.
Disagree with that and limp bizkit came out before them. Linkin Park not original at all
@@johngotti9552 And KoRn came out before Limp Bizkit. But we're in 2000's music now, not 90's.
please don't be disturbed by the haters. This is a decent example of the era. I never bought anything by Limp Bizket...But they did have a fan base at that time.
It's kind of hilarious seeing Amy, who seems like a really sweet, nice person and polite to a fault, try really, really hard to not be mean or harshly critical here, even though it's obvious that she doesn't like this, and come up with all sorts of roundabout ways to avoid saying what she's clearly thinking.
And, if she wants to listen to a much better rock-rap song, Aerosmith's collaboration with Run-DMC on Walk This Way is vastly and incomparably better.
It's ok to not like a piece of music and say so, and people will respect you for it. But it's also good to sometimes listen to music you normally wouldn't listen to and don't like, to be open-minded.
Korn and Limp Bizkit are both NU Metal genre leaders from early 2000s expect Korn is on a different level and massively loved for their creativity, theme and style or just go with everyone's favorite System of a Down.
Limp Bizkit asks us to check out their melody... erm... what melody?
Alot of elitism in these comments... "I don't listen anything newer than 90's rock", well wohoo, congrats on becoming stagnant...
Limp Bizkit had their brief moment in the spotlight. A lot of people liked them and alot of people hated them at the time. They do represent the culture of the 2000's quite well. I can see why this was chosen, even if there are clearly better songs and bands from that era. Here's hoping that the next song is more interesting and shows that the 2000's also had good rock music coming out.
The bigger difference, at least for me, is that starting around 2002-ish, was kind of the point where I felt like I had to start doing my own research and digging up obscure indie bands in order to find listenable rock music, because TV and Radio were fixated on Creed, Limp Bizkit and Nickelback.
Things did get better. But the early to mid 2000s were pretty dire.
I listen to rock music from the 50's up to today. I listen to lot of bands from the 2000's. You can find good rock music from every period. Sometimes you have to dig a little. Elitism because not liking this band, no. You don't have to like everything and there is a reason for why so many don't like this. But Carl can have a good reason for choosing this. The band was very popular and the were many bands similar to this.
I actually think the best thing about LB is their grooves. It’s the soft parts of this song, with the killer bass and razor sharp drums, that I think are the best.
yep, groove, minimalism, amazing bass and drum playing, that's the whole point of this music to be catchy and groovy. But people here will not understand, there is a bunch of elitists, who think, if music does not have a harp and trombone in it, or if no complex polyrhytms or chord progressions, then that music sucks.
@@oleksiistri8429
I agree. I think that the host - whose channel I adore - often fails to meet the music on its own terms, and brings inapt considerations from other musical genres and types. Taste is taste of course, but if one is going to try and understand a genre that is alien to oneself, an effort not to bring a lot of preconceptions is necessary. Coming to pop or rock with classical preconceptions and standards will just insure you that you “get” the pop/rock closest to classical. It’s no surprise that she loved Genesis and disliked this. But that seems somewhat at odds with the point of the exercise.
I'm listening to this because of how often i see the interwebs severely mock Limp Bizkit, and how strongly one always disliked them. Was looking for a second, more informed opinion. :)
London ontario! Saw 226 on the wall "hey thats my area code". Was very likely just 3 buildings over when this was being filmed. Always weird when you come across a local connection online randomly.
Is Carl trying to make Amy despise rock music?
Am disappointed this is veering towards uninspiring music. I thought Wonder Wall was a blip but not limp bizkit...please.
There are so many great songs to go deep on.
Radiohead, karnivool, Jeff Buckley, etc...
I appreciate your perspective, although as a 16 year old when this hit, I f*cking loved it!
I listened to a LOT of rock radio in this era, and I found many of the heavy hits incredibly beautiful despite the overproduction, cookie-cutter sound, uninspired lyrics, etc, etc. I’m sad that this song was chosen as Amy’s first impression. I don’t think it represents the highlights of the nu-metal era very well at all. I haven’t watched her reaction yet but I predict the gist will be “WHY would anyone listen to this kind of music” … for which there are many excellent musical responses. Oh well.
The “stutter effect” you are referring to is a turntable. Also, the reason everything sounds so big is because of specific “scratches” & inserts from the turntable, I think there’s a keyboard in there too. If you get to it Sid Wilson of Slipknot has, in my humble opinion, mastered the art of underlying specific tones, effects, “scratches” etc under the bass & guitars to make them sound monstrous while being almost imperceivable at the same time.
Sorry, I love Limp Bizkit! I also love classic prog and neoprog, classic rock, metal, R&B, motown, new age, folk, celtic, techno, new wave, alt rock (including grunge), industrial, jazz fusion, movie scores, the latest rock from Japan, and classical. And no, I definitely do not love ALL music.
Limp Bizkit is great...if you need to know what it's like to vomit while being sober.
Good LAWD!
People need to quit comparing Limp Bizkit to vomit.
Vomit doesn't deserve that kind of shade.
Wow! I really expected Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park for 2000s :)). Thx Karl!
No. Why?
I would never have decided to introduce anyone to 2000’s music with Limp Bizkit. I guess it’s good to put the rest of the music in the context of the time. Why not Deftones if you want to explore that style of music?
Because this series is not about what the best music of that era was. It’s about what played. I’m sure we’ll get to deftones over time, just have to get through the hard parts first :/
Well, it'll certainly make everything else seem amazing by comparison.
“Deftones good LB bad” is such a generic opinion
Just why ? Of all the music in all the bars in all the world …
Overproduced music. The cancer of our time. That's why it's better to just listen to jazz nowadays haha
This shouldn't be anyone's introduction to Limp Bizkit tbh.
They have many hits where Fred Doesn't sing this much.
I never liked Limp Bizkit.
That whole era was very apathetic. That was the mood.
Limp Bizkit is an ok band... if you're drunk enough
My first reaction when saw the thumbnail was to check the date. No, it's wasn't the 1st of April. My next reaction was, " Oh, my goodness! Why? " There are actually "Nu-metal" bands out there that are interesting and much more worthy. This isn't even one of Limp Biskit's better songs. I can't even bring myself to watch, such is the cringe.
I’m not gonna complain about the song choice although yes there were many much better options. Even linkin park would’ve been a more interesting pick. However let’s be real this stuff was huge in those days .
I'm still going to have to have faith in Carl's method into the musical madness ... am anxious to see and hear where it goes, as it approaches the present. I'm even more looking forward to the tour through each decade's chronology of hits, etc., presuming that's coming soon. Thanks Amy and Carl, et al 😉 (Baby's getting some early educational vibrations from all this, too!) 😛
Some of the instrumentals of Limp Bizkit are actually musically interesting and appealing. It's all about the sound wall created by guitar effects.
I agree. Set aside whatever you think about Fred Durst as a frontman, the musicians in Limp Bizkit are great at what they do.
in some eras certain genres are not giving you the best of what you could hear... lots of creative and entertaining rock music at this time .. karl went nu-metalish and that's his mistake in showing what rock had to offer . this is his old head perspective . he's tunneled out .
That's true! I used to hate Limp Bizkit (as did most of the people) durin 2000's. I was a metal girlie listening to black-, death-, progressive- and doom metal (with also a classical music training after playing violin over 25 years) as well as many othe genres I deemed worthwile. Nu metal wasn't that for me in any way. I couldn't see anything good in the band. It was way later, when I got over my snobbish attitudes towards music genres and started also to listen to the styles of music I didn't understand before, that I started to listen to hip hop as well. Now I really love old school 90's hip hop and hear it's influences in LB music also. I started to date a guy who listens a lot of LB and got to know their music from the time before they were popular. There's some great stuff (and nice cover art) there. And yes, the instrumental version of Creamer is one of my favourites from them. Most of the stuff that played in the radio from LB during 2000's is defenately not their best work. Sometimes you have to dig a bit deeper to find something worthwile in a band. Also Fred Durst may be a controversial lead singer in many ways but I do respect the fact that he refused to use autotune in an era when everything was autotuned to pieces.
The nice thing about car radio is that you can change the channel by pushing a button.
I need more of these technical roasts
So sorry to hear about the tragedy in the area there. Hope everyone you know is safe and unaffected, Amy.
I want one of those Axl Rose pianos that plays the song automatically no matter which keys you hit. There was a South Park episode where Randy saw the kids playing Rock Band and got out his guitar and played the songs for them and they didn't understand what he was doing and thought it was stupid because it was way too hard. Soon it will just be a text box that you put words into and the computer will create a song based on your text and everyone will think they are amazing musicians. Same as what happened to painting and photography. Technology is moving in a horribly wrong direction. My hope for the future generations is that they begin see through the fakery and reject it.
AI - this is how creativity ant talent will die, IMO
Well, I expected Linkin Park, but definitely not Limp Bizkit. I am really not sure how much they were even popular. Maybe they were in USA but certainly not that much in Europe. Or maybe I wasn't aware of their popularity and importance back then. I don't know.
And also, I hear this song for the first time, but I know they have several much bigger and, in my opinion, better songs (although I have never really been a fan of any of their songs).
People forget how big Limp Bizkit actually was during their time. They may have been disliked by the general metal/rock crowd but in terms of stardom they were dumby thicc. Way bigger than most others. I would’ve gone for Linkin Park but I reckon Karl wants to talk about something pertaining to LB here.
Hey Jovana, great to see you here. I have missed seeing you in the comments lately. Maybe you have and I just haven't seen them.
@@LeeKennison Hey Lee! Great to hear from you! No, you haven't missed anything, I am just really not in the mood lately for most of reaction content, so I'm definitely not as active here as before. But I am checking what's going on.
Hope you are doing fine and hope to talk more. 😊🤘
@@jovana_r Same to you Jovana. I always enjoy chatting with you.
😂 bored, apathetic and lack of ambition really sum up an era
Having her listen to Limp Bizkit was like taking the Mona Lisa to a hotdog eating contest.
🤣🤣🤣That's the perfect analogy
Some people fall into the misconception that music is something evolutionary. Yes, there is an evolution, but "evolutionary" in the biological sense would mean: evolution towards a better adaptation. And that implies a progression from the less to the better-adapted. An optimization.
But the musical development is NOT an optimization, but an adaptation to the taste of the time. The taste of the time is a factor without value. value neutral.
As a result, this means two things:
1. All those who believe that modern music is better than "old-fashioned" are wrong.
2. Old music can be significantly better at modern.
This was impressively demonstrated by this example of music, if you compare it with the 1960s or 1970s. 😉
Such nonence. There is development is a good way. Its not general. Like System of a Down, Radiohead, White Stripes. You can find tons of examples with creativity and authencity.
@@addickkelders2265 And you think: development means that the quality increases. To put it on another subject: Picasso's pictures are better than Rembrandt's?
Or do you agree that art is only evolving by changing their means of expression. But this has nothing to do with quality.
@@PeterBuwen you’re not reading well. I said that its not general quality increases or decreases. And I think you’re right that development isnt always the right direction. Whatever that may be, it is different for everybody. But I think Amy deserves a better introduction to popmusic than Motley Crue or Limp Bizkit. Why? Because they not the impact than many other big names.
@@addickkelders2265 Sorry for misunderstanding (I'm german). And I agree with you.
Laziness and remediality, more so than boredom.
Limp Bizkit... my god. Why not "System of a down" or "Queens of the stone age"? You know... good bands?
System of a down are no better than Limp Bizkit
@@Csnich96 I'm sorry but you're very wrong. Starting by the SINGER. You can't begin to compare the two.
@@FontenlaAndres Serj sounds absolutely insane the lyrics are dumber than LBs !
One of the worst bands and trends to come out of the 90s. “Goatee metal rappers say goodnight” - Beastie Boys.
Oh Carl... Lol I hope you balanced this out with your other 2000s pick.
Now I recall why I stopped listening to rock music after mid 90's, and only listen to rock pre-mid 90's.
For what it's worth, rock did eventually get better. Still ain't what it was, but it's still a hell of a lot more listenable now than it was in the 2000s.
There are some great musicians in this band. But the songwriting is derivative and shallow in an attempt at gaining mass appeal.
I didn't coin the term "Over Produced", but I love to use it to describe stuff like this. Bands that are introduced as "recording artists".
This is a good example of how much music from this time was trying to be the big new pop sound by stealing bits and pieces from what was recently popular.
🤘🧙♂️🤘
Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
😂 This is like a parody of your regular videos
Yes, I checked the calendar to see if it was April 1st already.
Also bored is a great way to put it, in my recollection it was popular with teenagers trying to affect apathy and stones, as well as the overlap between both groups. That might have also been part of the appeal for them.
Once again Amy nails it!!! Boring is probably why I began to tune out most commercial music after the 2000's.
Glad I'm not the only one.
You missed a lot of great stuff.
@@rockof.1793 I mostly filled in the gaps that the radio never played the first time. I am sure I missed a lot of good music.
Unpopular opinion: Nickleback is more representative of the 2000s. They were all over Top 40 radio. Limp Bizbit is the reason why I never listened to Linkin Park, because I thought that mixing rock and hip-hop would all be as boring as Bizkit.
Limp Bizkit may be disposable trash as far as music, but whenever I hear this song I am reminded of WrestleMania X7. Best hype package ever.
New metal (or otherwise known as excrement music) was a dark period for rock.
Limp Bizkit The Best siiuuuuuu 🥵👌
On behalf of all Metal fans and lovers of music, I applaud your stamina and patience while listen to this 'music'.
They should never have left their parents' garage...
Amy, feel free to never listen to a Limp Bizkit song ever again. A Patron could offer you $10,000 to react to "Break Things" and it still wouldn't be worth it. They truly are one of the worst things to happen to music as a whole. It all comes down to Fred Durst (lead singer) and their producers. The rest of the band is actually quite talented and capable, they just got saddled to this garbage.
Ah, yes, the golden age of music when when whiny, entitled kids could score major record deals. They'd get thrown into a fancy studio with top-notch producers, and voila! A few hit albums later, they'd throw a fit and chuck all their expensive trainers out of the pram. All the candyfloss probably didnt help either.
Someone is salty about 21st century rock. Why would he pick the worst. I would rather listen
to barenaked ladies.
"I don't know if I liked t..." *Leave the room
Hilarious she described them to a T she gets it. LOL
I don't know who is recommending this "music" but please stop!
4:08
Im assuming youre referring to after effects to enhance sonic quality.
Because I have been a musical instrumentalist my entire life and i recently aquired turntables.
The skill, precise timing, musical understanding and just overall talent needed to just play that, "Check check out my melody" part cannot be understated! Lol
I actually like early Limp Bizkit, sue me haha
Part of it is nostalgia too though, because I associate the music videos with their songs and I was in middle schools watching them on TRL at 3:30pm eating pizza rolls with friends.
So many Limp Bizkit haters in the comments, I am surprised. But I think haters don't actually listen to their music carefully. Yes, a lot of Limp Bizkit songs are just groovy and catchy anf in-your-face but they have songs like Re-Arranged, Phenomenon, Cream and Behind Blue Eyes (which is a cover but still) that show band's musical prowess.
Limb Bizkit rock the 2000 era. If I was selecting, I’d choose Bizkit too. They appealed to the young, like the Beatles, and looking back, My Way, says more about Bizkit than 2000s, When I think about music from the 2000s, how it grown, and expanded.
You would rip and burn CDs. The internet, iPods, Napster. Parents asking what you listening to? Limp Bizkit
And the 2000s was the era where I would listen to just about anything other than contemporary rock, so maybe they are the band of the decade.
no musical substance just technical games and quite childish
They appealed to the deaf.
The "bored" bit - interesting you pick up on that, because by this point, Limp Bizkit had already been the "it" band and Fred Durst already a playboy of sorts, so they were at a point of manufacturing hits. The "wildness" of Durst in this is much more manufactured than in the early days of Limp Bizkit where it's more raw. Still a good song musically IMO compared to a lot of their stuff, but I feel like if they released this when they were first coming about, it would've been made a much better song.
I find with almost every group that started in the late 80s and 90s, you hear the REAL band in their first album and/or EP or two and then as they gain popularity, you hear more of a production. Even bands I love who still made great music through that transition still have that happen. Bands like Sugar Ray and Smashmouth are at the extreme end, where more or less the one time they deviated from their usual sound ended up becoming a hit, so they pretty much abandoned their usual sound, but even groups like Korn and 311 went from raw to polished over the course of 2-4 albums, and since it's not really novel for them, it doesn't have the same oomph as the earlier stuff. It's neat you picked up on it in this without even hearing their earlier stuff.
Interestingly, Fred Durst, the lead singer, largely thinks Limp Bizkit is trash.
I am going to be brave and admit I had a phase as a teen where I liked some Limp Bizkit. Embarrassing, I know, but I also was not a native English speaker. Overall their music aged quite badly compared to their peers but they were selling well for a moment in the 2000s.
I was a teenager in the 80's, and I can't believe some of the bands that I listened to. About the only good thing I can say about most of them was they knew how to play their instruments well. I hope in 10 to 20 years there will be grown-ups saying they can't believe the garbage that they listened to in the 2010's and 20's.
Her trying to be professional and being like I don't think like is freaking hilarious because she's in the majority on this..
It's always been funny to me that this song keeps playing a sample of "check out my melody", when melody is barely existent...and the melody that actually is there is so rudimentary.
Because "check out my melody" in this context is bragging...it's telling the listener that the melody is going to be mind-blowing. And it absolutely isn't.
Volume is brick wall except few quiet parts. It's brick even when they aren't going for the most powerful parts in the song. Compressed to the max where the sound gets digital distortion.
I clicked this video because I have an extreme dislike for Limp Bizkit, and I had to see Amy's reaction when she heard it.
Beautiful reaction! Youre missing the MPC machine with turntables. That is a computer and was massive during this era. They can computerize all instruments (guitar, bass, drums) and make their own sounds in top of that. But 💯 such a geuine, wholesome reaction
You have to remember in Nu MEtal there was a MASSIVE hip hop influence too hence the record scratching and sampling
So sorry you were forced to listen to this! I didn't. I just fast forwarded to where I could see you were talking to hear your comments on it. You weren't off base at all. Although there are certainly exceptions (Tool, for example, continues to put out amazing music), IMHO rock took a deep dive for the worse after the 90s. The producers engineered all of the soul/humanity out of it. Maybe that will be Karl's point, I dunno.
Rock might have taken a deep dive after the 90s - I don't know. I do not listen to much Rock. Extreme Metal has never died though. Maybe it is just that a lot of creativity went underground?
@@MotorbreathChannel Oh yeah - Definitely some great stuff still out there. You just don't hear it on the radio. I should have specified "commercial" rock.
@@jcparker500 Nah, it's all good. I am glad that we agree on that. And also I am from a country, where radio is not that much of an influence. MTV was back when it actually played music. And ever since it was either the CD stores or the internet. Word of mouth basically.
This band is considered one of the lowest, most unfortunate spawns of rock. Apologies you had to go through that
Wow this is definitely an interesting pick.
As you've probably noticed, Limp Bizkit doesn't have the greatest reputation among rock fans, but that's fine, since the band itself didn't really intend to be liked by everyone.
Their sound is fine overall, it's mostly the lyrics that are hard to take seriously, that's the case for me at least.
In terms of music from around the same time, System of A Down is a must listen.
Yeah, Limp Bizkit for me was always like the stupid little brother of Rage Against The Machine, who was swapped at birth and raised by rednecks. The first 2 albums were pretty good, but with the success came the downfall. Though I still like Take A Look Around from the 3rd album.
Yes maybe that's it, lyrically they are an acquired taste.
Talks about lyrics then throws system of a down. Bwahahaha
@@mikekarlik9897 Yeah, a good point, SOAD have some silly lyrics too now that I think about it, still prefer their lyrics to bizkit's obviously
@@lightlezs7048 The thing about SOAD is that when you listen to them, you know that they have a sense of humor - they don't always take themselves too seriously. When you listen to Limp Bizkit, it's difficult to tell whether they are being serious or ironic. Then again, I don't think this kind of "let's make fun of douchebags by being one" kind of irony existed back then - pretty sure they didn't write the lyrics to be funny, but they legitimately thought they sounded cool. And I'm sure the teenagers back then also bought it.
So, the difference between SOAD being silly and Limp Bizkit being silly is that SOAD were clearly self aware about their silliness, whereas Limp Bizkit were (most likely) trying to sound cool, and the silliness is more unintentional.
Then again, there's a certain kind of charm about honest boasting. These days, you can only do that ironically. But back then, it made you cool. Like, back then people were like "yo yo, look at how cool I am", and they did it honestly. Try doing that today, and people will just laugh at you. People today tend to be a lot more self aware. And this kind of stuff only works if you do it ironically. Even if you are somewhat serious about it, you still need to approach it through a couple of layers of irony.
Oh dear 😂
