The dichotomy of Limp Bizkit is that Wes Borland is so talented, and he writes super experimental riffs. But then Fred Durst raps frat bro douche bag lyrics over them.
@@ShadowKiller571wasn’t Fred like a dorky new waver in high school? I’ve read somewhere that he wasn’t always like that, In fact, he was a victim of bullying
On September 10, 2001 (the day before the Twin Towers were destroyed in the September 11 attacks), Limp Bizkit received a letter and a fruit basket from the Port Authority of New York City, thanking them for featuring the twin towers in the video and congratulating the band after the video had won the VMA for video of the year at the VMAs on September 6th.
the paradox of Limp Bizkit is that the thing that ruins them is fred durst, but the reason they stood out is also fred durst. the instrumentals are fine, with a better vocalist they'd be a reasonably respected but not broadly remembered nu metal band like Mudvayne or Deftones. but fred's whiny white boi angst made him the voice of a generation of angsty 13 year olds.
@@chilibeer3912well Chocolate Starfish is slang for butthole but Hot Dog Flavoured Water was a joke the band came up with. I'm pretty sure that didn't occur to them that it sounded a lot like slang for piss
Wes is incredible. He’s got some Morello in him, but he establishes himself as different from Morello. Not to mention, his aesthetic is incredible compared to the people he’s performing with.
Limp Bizkit were all about the live experience. I got free tickets to one of their gigs in the early 2000’s. I’ve never seen a band rock a crowd like that before or since. The place was electrified from the moment they took the stage to the moment they left. The energy level didn’t dip once the whole gig.
"Mindless fun" is what Limp Bizkit was all about. They were never meant to be taken seriously. They didn't even take themselves seriously. Just look at their band name. They had some good instrumentals were pretty decent though.
🤔Thank you for commenting this. Shows this dude just doesn't get it. Cuz if you understood them they just make music to have fun. And make fun of others who take stuff too seriously. They put up with alot. I'm still a fan❤
Hit the nail on the head. They literally are on a tour titled “Limp Bizkit Still Sucks” and dropped an album titled “Still Sucks”. They put on a great live show and play what the people came to hear
Fun fact: the original album was to be called Millennium but Backstreet Boys’ album came out first so Limp Bizkit changed theirs to Chocolate starfish to have it be as furthest away as possible from the B Boys.
Yeah, I always say this-he takes heat for unintentionally causing rioting at Woodstock 99. A lot of artists couldn't incite rioting if they tried with all their heart and effort. He wasn't even trying, that was his normal act.
@Alexander so, a lot of the cause was the heat and price gouging, sure. But "Break Stuff" was what set the crowd OFF. There are videos available, you can see moshing across the entire width of the crowd, people pulling down structures, climbing poles, just generally going apesh-t. They were no more frustrated then than they were earlier that day- Durst and that song was what lit the fuse.
Same here. Used to like them as a joke, but it's not a joke anymore. Their live shows are so much fun. Music nerds can hate on them all they want, but they're still selling out arenas playing 20 year old songs
Watched them in Manchester England. It’s the only gig I’ve been to where the energy level went to ten straight off the bat and stayed there the whole gig.
I was best friends with the drummer in elementary school. Yeah that’s my claim to fame. I used to play Gi Joe’s with John Otto. Dude went thru puberty in like 4th grade, had a mustache and everything. He definitely knew from a young age he was going to be a rock star. He was smashing early and I was still worried about fireworks and BB guns. Dude did good for himself. His dad was the most gangster dude I ever met. He had to get his arm amputated and it was not a big deal. He just Ramboed the whole situation and went back to work. His mom is one of the nicest people in the entire world. I wonder if he’d let me get 10 g’s. Get at me John.
They were that YUUUGE between 1999 to 2001! But I feel 9/11 knocked the sails off from them and they never recovered from it - and that superstardom momentum shifted towards Linkin Park and they got even bigger than Limp Bizkit ever got at their peak!
Yep, the guitars are really great bc Wes Borland is a good musician, might not be to the level of Jimmy Hendrix or other *insert legendary guitar player* in history but i think his vision is still interesting nonetheless. You guys should check out Wes's other band called Black Light Burns, very 00s rock but with a distinctive sound imo.
@@atuvera9021 Big props for the Black Light Burns love. They never got the praise they deserved back in the day. Cruel Melody is such an incredible album. Think my favourite BLB track would be I Want You To; those guitar melodies in the verses give it a proper catchy vibe.
i respect Fred durst now, i went to their concert earlier this year and it was genuinely the most fun concert ive ever been too. hes taken their identity and made it ironic in a genuinely funny way. i would see them again 100%
Fred durst is a marketing genius. He played the character of the Red hat wearing dude bro so well that even to this day people still believe in him. Love them or hate them limp bizkit were instrumental in breathing new life into the metal genre and brought it to hights it'll potentially never reach again.

Significant Other is a better album, but Wes' delay riffs were great on Starfish. For a brief period in the 90s heavy music was allowed to be fun and completely outlandish. The music fit the time perfectly when MTV had it's hold on the youth. I believe a lot of people, myself included, love those albums because it takes us back to a very special time in our lives. Being 9-13 and recording all the korn, kid rock, bizkit, dmx videos on VHS so I can watch them again and again while jumping around in the living room.
@@carolinescmprn9196 at this point nostalgia. I don’t actively listen to it, but I do love it. I actually saw them a couple years back. I was going half joking ab it but it was such a fun show lol. I wasn’t around when the album came out, but when I was in late middle school/high school I used to love this shit.
I used to make so much fun of them when they came out.. then I bought this album for 1 dollar at a pawn shop because it had no case, and I found myself playing it on repeat
Everyone’s entitled to their opinions and I agree with a lot of what you were saying but I fucking love this album and band! They never took themselves too seriously like most bands around that era did, and it’s just fun music that sounds incredible live!
If you want a better album to try, “Significant other” is leagues better and proves that Fred Durst can be a pretty decent vocalist if he isn’t sounding like someone who’s constantly kicked in the nuts. Plus, “Don’t go off wondering” is probably one of my favourite Limp Bizkit songs and Fred Durst’s screams on that track genuinely shocked me the first time as they’re actually pretty good and not shitty butt rock screams like that of Aaron Lewis from Staind.
significant other has some dull points for me, but the nookie-break stuff-rearranged run is probably one of the best 3 song runs in any album i could think of
@@andmillions idk if you’re referring to S. Other and Chocolate Starfish or Their actual first album Three Dollar Bill Y’all and S. Other but either way this is a true statement lmao
I don't know if it's aged badly, because I was a Limp Bizkit fan at the time and I don't remember any of us taking it particularly seriously. We couldn't, because the second album had a song where the chorus went "SHOULDA LEFT MY PANTS ON THIS TIME." I think it sounded then as absurd as it does now, but we just went with it (or didn't, for many).
This album was a staple of my childhood. Regardless of how it aged and my taste in music has evolved, it will probably always hold a special place for me lol. My parents absolutely hated it and as the rebellious kid that I was that just made me play it even more 🤣🤣 The same applies to a few other albums and artists from back in that day. If I had 5 dollars for every Manson album my dad found and destroyed, I'd have 25 dollars 🤣
@@droptherapy2085 yeah. Dude outright would say stuff like “Limp Bizkit sucks and don’t you ever forget it!” lol Plus they entered Ozzfest (I think that was the festival) by emerging from a giant toilet on stage
2 notes about Hot Dog: 1) the whole "fuck count" thing was ripped off from Insane Clown Posse's song Fuck The World, which came out 2 years before Chocolate Fartfish: "Don't bother trying to analyze these rhymes/In this song I say fuck 93 times" 2) Trent Reznor didn't have a lot of nice things to say about Fred Turds around that time, and Fred took it personally. Hence, using Trent's own lyrics to try dissing him. Not only does this attempt at a diss suck, Trent just let the whole thing slide ("Maybe I'm too stupid to read between the lines, but I don't know how this could be a diss, it doesn't sound like anything; but hey, if it makes people happy, then let them make what they want" -TR). And to top it all off, the band had to pay royalties to Trent for using his lyrics without permission. How's that for a diss?
I just saw him one time and I thought he was an idiot. I honestly felt like I wasted my time and money to see him in Summer Sanatorium tour and thought Metellica could have had a better band performing instead of LB. I like his music on the first three albums but after that I thought, "dont have to worry abbout buying his stuff again. I admit I did buy another one of his albums when he was trying to sound all poitical and stuff but I had a god excuse as to how I ended up buying that piece of Garbage. Fall 2004, I was in Iraq for seven weeks and came home in a coma with a cracked head...I mean literally. They had to cut a big chunk of skull out of my head so I had to wear one of these helmets thar made me look retarded. Then he made this other album that ruined a perfecly good The Who song.
It aged so bad but it is so nostalgic. Lots of people listened to it either going to school or playing some old games (or both). It brings back so many memories of simpler times.
Não sei explicar, é underwhelming (não é pior que Results May Vary) mas ao mesmo tempo satisfaz, o instrumental é incrível, o pacing funciona e Hold On por incrível que pareça soa como uma ótima forma de encerrar um álbum desse tipo. A outra parte que enfraquece esse álbum, bom, é o Fred Durst. Mas anos depois, com quase 30 anos na cara, eu acho que se não tivesse o Durst nessa banda, eu jamais teria ouvido.
Fun fact about "Getcha Groove On": this "Dirt Road Mix" is actually a remix of the real song released on their 2001 remix album New Old Songs. Due to an issue with sample clearance that resulted in a lawsuit, the real version couldn't appear on streaming services, so they had to replace it on the album with this remix.
If you want some actually good innovative alt metal I’d suggest Korn’s Self Titled debut and Issues (their two most acclaimed albums). Self Titled provides brutal honesty lyrically and divine (no pun intended) anger (that was completely justified and didn’t come off as bratty or ungenuine) while Issues takes that sound and experiments with it a little bit, leading to a more mellow but adventurous album overall.
I will always love LB over Korn. LB don’t take themselves too seriously, they’re cringe in a self aware way. Korn (from follow the leader onwards) is just plain cringe.
This album fuckin slaps idc what anyone says they’re a pretty well rounded band to be mainly known for the more brash heavier shit. A lot of bangers came from this band
fred durst sings like he's in a gmod animation. i can't hear "kiss my chocolate starfish" without imagine him moving like coach in who's cooking tonight when he says "get your ASS in the kitchen" to nick
I just want to add that track 9 "Getcha Groove On" is not the original one on the album, the beat is totally different. Lyrics have some differences here and there too, but the reason is not on Spotify is that it used an uncredited sample played during an act of Cirque Du Soleil's "Cirque Reinvente". The original is here on TH-cam tho, if anyone wants to look it up.
As someone who grew up listening to music like this, this will always be a guilty pleasure lol. Definitely more about the riffs and energy! Three Dollar Billz Yall, Significant Other, and The Unquestionable Truth are their best work though imo 💯
There is not such as guilty pleasure... don't apologize for something that you like. This fucking generation talks about cringe and stables what is right and what is wrong and they can't even decide I they are women, men , gay ,pansexual or a bread toaster
Not gonna lie, I kinda love Limp Bizkit just because of how insanely corny and stupid it is. I kinda respect Fred Durst, dude’s an evangellion fan. We need more nu metal guys show their waifu collection
the sincerity combined with the insane rhythm section keeps this album in rotation for me. it's goofy, but it's not tongue-in-cheek (as much as Fred would like it to have been now) and that's honestly refreshing compared to how drowned in irony we are now
Bad music is bad music. They're a band who could have been so much better with a different singer. Edgy goofiness just does not do much to really be long lasting, sorry.
oh wow a real music fan right there yeah!!!! we listen to real music like weezer good music is good music right???? yeahhhh we listen to REAL hip hop true realest music ever
Rollin' (urban assault vehicle) IS actually the original, air raid vehicle was technically remixed FROM it so yeah, do with that information what you want
The funny thing about Hot Dog being a diss track against Trent Reznor is that since Fred Durst used NIN lyrics in it, he had to give a writing credit to Trent Reznor.
I'd actually be curious for you to listen to their first album though. It's pretty raw and heavy and a fun piece of nu-metal history. EDIT: Also if you're a big Rage fan, try their album The Unquestionable Truth which has the biggest Rage vibes. EDIT 2: That is not the album version of Getcha Groove On. Not sure why the beat is different.
Man, that My Way/Call Me Al mashup is fantastic! I'd never heard that before, I must check out that Neil Ciegierierasrer album. Brad's facial expressions when Thirsty Fred sings are priceless. He's such a terrible singer, but he insists on singing as often as possible! :p
My Way is the only song I can say something good about, and that something is that it was used perfectly in the build up hype package for Wrestlemania X7 LMAO
The thing with Limp Bizkit is that they became bigger than the genre they brought to light, they were making headlines and were topics in mainstream news or talk shows, so I'm guessing they wanted to do something different to somehow escape ( or embrace, or mock? :P ) that, and that this album was the result. It had a lot more of a hip hop sound and also the overall sound production was much more polished. The lyrics were lighter, less corrosive and quite silly if not stupid at times. All of this didn't go well with the old sound/melodies they still wanted to maintain in the album so it makes a very uneven album in my opinion, especially compared to Significant Other which was rock solid and had a great flow from one song to the other. Overall it had a much more commercial sound. Durst himself became infamous for being obnoxious and arrogant during those years too, and it hurt the band a lot because he still didn't have the background to back that up IMO. Then he had the feud with Wes Borland who pretty much was their "Slash"; that didn't help either - Borland didn't like Starfish, he felt like the band had sold out - and he was right. All of this probably contributed to a disconnection with a lot of fans. So this album and everything around it was the end of the rage for Limp Bizkit. However they did try to do something different. There are bands who stick with the same sound throughout their existence. Gotta give them kudos for that, I believe. Overall I think LB were bigger than they should have but they still deserve credit for being the flag bearers of a genre. A lot of people put them down for their music when in reality they just didn't like Fred Durst. I think Durst figured out all of that because now he has a pretty cool attitude and isn't afraid of ridicule either.
this album is the most “limp bizkit” that limp bizkit has ever been and i unironically love it

Its would be a great álbum, with Scott weiland in vocals, the only limo bizkit song I like its Hold on.
@@chubbycorn4322 same to you man, love Disco Volante, actually my favorite Bungle album
"Boiler" aged really well. Probably the best song on that album.
That and "My Way"
"Full Nelson" was my favorite.
Boiler was the song that got me to buy this album when I was a kid. It still holds up.
Agreed. Boiler is honestly a banger, only song I semi-regularly revisit on this album.
I liked Take A Look Around the best
Well.. the dead don't age. So this album is timeless! 😇
Well the Dead do stink and this album stinks
Ohh nooo.....
Cope

“Fred Durst the kinda guy who counts how many times he says f*** in a song and then tell you how many times he’s said it” hahaha I’m dead
You should listen to their debut album "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all" it's actually quite decent
I second this. Raw af
I third this
That record fucking slaps!
that one was my first cd ever, its nu metal perfection
I LOVE
3$B!!!
This definitely sounds like it's stuck in the 2000's, just like the guy himself.
Because it was released in the 2000s lol, it’s “trapped” because that’s when it was made.
Significant Other is a better album, but Wes' delay riffs were great on Starfish. For a brief period in the 90s heavy music was allowed to be fun and completely outlandish. The music fit the time perfectly when MTV had it's hold on the youth. I believe a lot of people, myself included, love those albums because it takes us back to a very special time in our lives. Being 9-13 and recording all the korn, kid rock, bizkit, dmx videos on VHS so I can watch them again and again while jumping around in the living room.
It's easy to make fun of Limp Bizkit but this album is solid and catchy af from start to end
Chocolate Starsh*t And The Kool-Aid Flavored Dogwater
YESSSSSSIRRRRR
2000s rock has a way of sounding good and bad at the same time.
my mom gave me this album when i was like 5, limp bizkit will always be one of my favorite bands, no matter how ridiculously corny they are
i like how chocolate starfish (🍫⭐🐟) became a brad live chat meme
This album is the peak of human civilization, Brad just doesn't want to admit it
I legitimately love this album, and I hate myself for it
Don't
Damn. But why? Like seriously asking.
@@carolinescmprn9196 at this point nostalgia. I don’t actively listen to it, but I do love it. I actually saw them a couple years back. I was going half joking ab it but it was such a fun show lol. I wasn’t around when the album came out, but when I was in late middle school/high school I used to love this shit.
Good…good.
I used to make so much fun of them when they came out.. then I bought this album for 1 dollar at a pawn shop because it had no case, and I found myself playing it on repeat
Everyone’s entitled to their opinions and I agree with a lot of what you were saying but I fucking love this album and band! They never took themselves too seriously like most bands around that era did, and it’s just fun music that sounds incredible live!
i agree, Bizkitfan96
FUCKED UP THIS, FUCKED UP THAT, FIRST I PISSED, THEN I SHAT🤘🤘🤘
This Album was and is still great.
Facts
💀
W opinion
Only if you’re a man child and your musical taste never grew from your teenage years.
@@dws84 what should i listen to in my 30s then?🤣
I would argue that this is STILL ahead of its time.
how
@@cemetarypolka because no other band has dared to make anything dumber since.
i started listening to listen to limp bizkit ironically and now i can’t stop
The beauty of Limp Bizkit is that you enjoy it without having to think too much about how. Like you said, it’s all mindless fun.
If you want a better album to try, “Significant other” is leagues better and proves that Fred Durst can be a pretty decent vocalist if he isn’t sounding like someone who’s constantly kicked in the nuts. Plus, “Don’t go off wondering” is probably one of my favourite Limp Bizkit songs and Fred Durst’s screams on that track genuinely shocked me the first time as they’re actually pretty good and not shitty butt rock screams like that of Aaron Lewis from Staind.
Significant Other is a criminally underrated album.
@@comicsans1689 it actually sold more than chocolate starfish. But yes LB's first two albums are pretty good
significant other has some dull points for me, but the nookie-break stuff-rearranged run is probably one of the best 3 song runs in any album i could think of
@@andmillions idk if you’re referring to S. Other and Chocolate Starfish or Their actual first album Three Dollar Bill Y’all and S. Other but either way this is a true statement lmao
Significant other is great
I don't know if it's aged badly, because I was a Limp Bizkit fan at the time and I don't remember any of us taking it particularly seriously. We couldn't, because the second album had a song where the chorus went "SHOULDA LEFT MY PANTS ON THIS TIME." I think it sounded then as absurd as it does now, but we just went with it (or didn't, for many).
Say what you want but this album is a Banger. Nothing sounds quite like this. Fred Durst is quite a character.
I still consider this a 10/10
I laugh maniacally every time I listen to Limp Bizkit so I guess I can respect them for that
This album was a staple of my childhood. Regardless of how it aged and my taste in music has evolved, it will probably always hold a special place for me lol. My parents absolutely hated it and as the rebellious kid that I was that just made me play it even more 🤣🤣 The same applies to a few other albums and artists from back in that day. If I had 5 dollars for every Manson album my dad found and destroyed, I'd have 25 dollars 🤣
Still doesn’t make it good.
My 13 year old self loved this shit. My 14 year old self wanted this band dead. It's crazy what can happen in a year. It was a gateway though.
2:57 I love how Brad's sarcastic pre-teen "Bring it on!" actually fits really well with the real vocals XD
I’ve always had the belief that the actual instrumentation on Limp Biscuits music was always amazing and I’m happy a lot of other people agree 😂
I usually don't mind owning stuff that I liked as a dumb kid, Limp Bizkit is the exception, I cringe every time.
I always enjoyed them as a shitpost goofy self-aware band that embrace their over the top nature
@@SOBEKCrocodileGod yeah I feel like Fred Durst is totally playing a character
@@droptherapy2085 yeah. Dude outright would say stuff like “Limp Bizkit sucks and don’t you ever forget it!” lol
Plus they entered Ozzfest (I think that was the festival) by emerging from a giant toilet on stage
2 notes about Hot Dog:
1) the whole "fuck count" thing was ripped off from Insane Clown Posse's song Fuck The World, which came out 2 years before Chocolate Fartfish: "Don't bother trying to analyze these rhymes/In this song I say fuck 93 times"
2) Trent Reznor didn't have a lot of nice things to say about Fred Turds around that time, and Fred took it personally. Hence, using Trent's own lyrics to try dissing him. Not only does this attempt at a diss suck, Trent just let the whole thing slide ("Maybe I'm too stupid to read between the lines, but I don't know how this could be a diss, it doesn't sound like anything; but hey, if it makes people happy, then let them make what they want" -TR). And to top it all off, the band had to pay royalties to Trent for using his lyrics without permission. How's that for a diss?
you'll never understand limp bizkit, until you see them live. Plain and simple. Every song they have made, has been designed for their live shows.
I’ve seen them live, they’re alright. Nothing spectacular.
I just saw him one time and I thought he was an idiot. I honestly felt like I wasted my time and money to see him in Summer Sanatorium tour and thought Metellica could have had a better band performing instead of LB. I like his music on the first three albums but after that I thought, "dont have to worry abbout buying his stuff again. I admit I did buy another one of his albums when he was trying to sound all poitical and stuff but I had a god excuse as to how I ended up buying that piece of Garbage. Fall 2004, I was in Iraq for seven weeks and came home in a coma with a cracked head...I mean literally. They had to cut a big chunk of skull out of my head so I had to wear one of these helmets thar made me look retarded. Then he made this other album that ruined a perfecly good The Who song.
@@davidemme2344 XD
Limp Bizkit is fun and not to be taken seriously. They named themselves Limp Bizkit for fuck's sake. They have a sense of humor.
I love the additions where you pause to address certain chats, the part where you went in on Christopher was great
I think this is the only time Gabby Hanna, Youngblood and Limp Bizkit were compared in the same sentence 😂
It aged so bad but it is so nostalgic. Lots of people listened to it either going to school or playing some old games (or both). It brings back so many memories of simpler times.
Não sei explicar, é underwhelming (não é pior que Results May Vary) mas ao mesmo tempo satisfaz, o instrumental é incrível, o pacing funciona e Hold On por incrível que pareça soa como uma ótima forma de encerrar um álbum desse tipo. A outra parte que enfraquece esse álbum, bom, é o Fred Durst. Mas anos depois, com quase 30 anos na cara, eu acho que se não tivesse o Durst nessa banda, eu jamais teria ouvido.
It was horrible even when it was new, but I do agree that it's nostalgic. But I guess Limp Bizkit is proof that not all nostalgia is good.
@@ninja_tony limp bizkit is good, you however are definitely entitled to your wrong opinion.
It’s nostalgic for me because I remember making fun of the kids who liked this lol
It mainly aged badly because ppl got more pretentious and self conscious
Fun fact about "Getcha Groove On": this "Dirt Road Mix" is actually a remix of the real song released on their 2001 remix album New Old Songs. Due to an issue with sample clearance that resulted in a lawsuit, the real version couldn't appear on streaming services, so they had to replace it on the album with this remix.
I’m not going to ignore that it’s probably a large amount of nostalgia but their first 3 albums are still just so fun to listen to
If you want some actually good innovative alt metal I’d suggest Korn’s Self Titled debut and Issues (their two most acclaimed albums). Self Titled provides brutal honesty lyrically and divine (no pun intended) anger (that was completely justified and didn’t come off as bratty or ungenuine) while Issues takes that sound and experiments with it a little bit, leading to a more mellow but adventurous album overall.
I will always love LB over Korn. LB don’t take themselves too seriously, they’re cringe in a self aware way. Korn (from follow the leader onwards) is just plain cringe.
@@emilyantiqua and limp isn’t cringe?
@@geckals3075 I mean yeah but it’s mostly on purpose. I’m biased cause I love them
@@emilyantiqua I like both
This album fuckin slaps idc what anyone says they’re a pretty well rounded band to be mainly known for the more brash heavier shit. A lot of bangers came from this band
A lot of the lyrics are about recovering after a toxic or narcissistic relationship. It is therapy of sorts.
fred durst sings like he's in a gmod animation. i can't hear "kiss my chocolate starfish" without imagine him moving like coach in who's cooking tonight when he says "get your ASS in the kitchen" to nick
Only real music fans appreciate this album not casuals
As a drummer myself, I think limp bizkit's drummer is able to hold it down and he has some sick beats that still make you wanna move.
@@capt.butters9296 fr the intro on My Generation is so bouncy I love it
Uhuh.
Limp Bizkit was really only good for giving wrestling companies their music
(and giving us the SOUL OBTAINED drop)
I just want to add that track 9 "Getcha Groove On" is not the original one on the album, the beat is totally different. Lyrics have some differences here and there too, but the reason is not on Spotify is that it used an uncredited sample played during an act of Cirque Du Soleil's "Cirque Reinvente". The original is here on TH-cam tho, if anyone wants to look it up.
Wait seriously that's why we have the shit version on Spotify
As someone who grew up listening to music like this, this will always be a guilty pleasure lol. Definitely more about the riffs and energy!
Three Dollar Billz Yall, Significant Other, and The Unquestionable Truth are their best work though imo 💯
There is not such as guilty pleasure... don't apologize for something that you like. This fucking generation talks about cringe and stables what is right and what is wrong and they can't even decide I they are women, men , gay ,pansexual or a bread toaster
lel I see u skullz
@@MostlyCloudy You saw nothing 😂😂😂
This is one of the best albums of all time
Hell yeah. People who say they hate Limp Bizkit are lying to themselves. 😅
This album is legendary in a good way
Not gonna lie, I kinda love Limp Bizkit just because of how insanely corny and stupid it is.
I kinda respect Fred Durst, dude’s an evangellion fan. We need more nu metal guys show their waifu collection
Chester Bennington: watched Evangelion for the mechas.
Fred Durst: watched Evangelion for the bitches.
Respect for both those mindsets.
Exactly. And Fred is just kind of a goofy shitposter guy. I don’t understand why people think he takes himself very seriously.
My first album I ever owned. This album has some bangers. I still listen to it from time to time
the sincerity combined with the insane rhythm section keeps this album in rotation for me. it's goofy, but it's not tongue-in-cheek (as much as Fred would like it to have been now) and that's honestly refreshing compared to how drowned in irony we are now
The fact that I also recognized My Way from Neil Ciciriega scares me
Hot dog is arguably the best diss track of all time. You cant deny that monstrous riff.
The thing is that they do all of this on purpose so people who dislike them just don't understand them lol
Bad music is bad music. They're a band who could have been so much better with a different singer. Edgy goofiness just does not do much to really be long lasting, sorry.
oh wow a real music fan right there
yeah!!!! we listen to real music like weezer
good music is good music right???? yeahhhh
we listen to REAL hip hop true realest music ever
Limp Bizkit is quintessential Florida Man music
Accurate. Fred Durst was born in Florida.
a perfect video for fred durst friday
Rollin' (urban assault vehicle) IS actually the original, air raid vehicle was technically remixed FROM it so yeah, do with that information what you want
Limp Bizkit is like Norwegian Black Metal: pretty good as long as you don't take it seriously.
A classic. It's one of my fav records. It's a party album. Enjoy it for what it is.
The funny thing about Hot Dog being a diss track against Trent Reznor is that since Fred Durst used NIN lyrics in it, he had to give a writing credit to Trent Reznor.
I can proudly say I've never liked limp bizkit. Just like only fans, never been
I'd actually be curious for you to listen to their first album though. It's pretty raw and heavy and a fun piece of nu-metal history.
EDIT: Also if you're a big Rage fan, try their album The Unquestionable Truth which has the biggest Rage vibes.
EDIT 2: That is not the album version of Getcha Groove On. Not sure why the beat is different.
This, so much this
Limp Bizkit's first album is a masterpiece
They used a copyrighted sample on the original version of ‘Getcha Groove on’ and got into a load of legal trouble because of it so it was pulled.
@@billyfury9130 Oh wild!
@@billyfury9130 Strangely the clean version of the album still has the original copyrighted sample.
I think that hot dog water perfectly sums up the quality of this album.
15:50 Fred Durst was the reason the Twin Towers were targeted on 9/11
Man, that My Way/Call Me Al mashup is fantastic! I'd never heard that before, I must check out that Neil Ciegierierasrer album.
Brad's facial expressions when Thirsty Fred sings are priceless. He's such a terrible singer, but he insists on singing as often as possible! :p
Neil Cicierega - Shit is the track.
Brad, you gotta check out korns first album, its a cool album
yess
My Way is the only song I can say something good about, and that something is that it was used perfectly in the build up hype package for Wrestlemania X7 LMAO
This album was straight fire when it first came out. Honestly, its still pretty damn solid for the era.
White pony came out the same year in the same genre
The thing with Limp Bizkit is that they became bigger than the genre they brought to light, they were making headlines and were topics in mainstream news or talk shows, so I'm guessing they wanted to do something different to somehow escape ( or embrace, or mock? :P ) that, and that this album was the result. It had a lot more of a hip hop sound and also the overall sound production was much more polished. The lyrics were lighter, less corrosive and quite silly if not stupid at times. All of this didn't go well with the old sound/melodies they still wanted to maintain in the album so it makes a very uneven album in my opinion, especially compared to Significant Other which was rock solid and had a great flow from one song to the other. Overall it had a much more commercial sound. Durst himself became infamous for being obnoxious and arrogant during those years too, and it hurt the band a lot because he still didn't have the background to back that up IMO. Then he had the feud with Wes Borland who pretty much was their "Slash"; that didn't help either - Borland didn't like Starfish, he felt like the band had sold out - and he was right. All of this probably contributed to a disconnection with a lot of fans. So this album and everything around it was the end of the rage for Limp Bizkit.
However they did try to do something different. There are bands who stick with the same sound throughout their existence. Gotta give them kudos for that, I believe.
Overall I think LB were bigger than they should have but they still deserve credit for being the flag bearers of a genre. A lot of people put them down for their music when in reality they just didn't like Fred Durst. I think Durst figured out all of that because now he has a pretty cool attitude and isn't afraid of ridicule either.
