Is the Rock World Ready for the Return of Limp Bizkit?

In a word.. NO!

BWA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! On Celebrity Rehab, sure.

Say it ain’t so Wes. Limp Bizkit is awful and you said you would not be joining them again. Please just stick to Black Light Burns. They’re light years better.

people actually paid to see New Kids on the Block last year. There will be room for Limp Bizkit. Probably not on the radio, but they will do solid in clubs. Even Vanilla Ice does OK in clubs.

oh I guess it would be nice if they never came back, and stayed dormant…forever.

i for one am waiting for the new limp bizkit album. i’m sick of the mellow rock. indie rock sucks. sucks. it’s too soft and should not be considered rock. indie rock sucks equally with emo. emo should just die. limp bizkit’s live shows are sick. let the riots begin!!

WHY ARE WE REGRESSING? Music should be a progression into new forays, not crying over the failures of the past!

Limp Bizkit represented the worst of the worst back then. Nu-metal then is what emo is now. Awful bands that no one will want to listen in 3 years. The world needs a Limp Bizkit reunion like it needs WW3

3 key flaws with this article:

1. It’s NOT okay to like Poison, unless you’re a thirty-something washed-up groupie.

2. It’s NOT okay to like Creed.

3. It’s NOT okay to like Limp Bizkit.

Other than that, I warmly welcome back Fred Durst to music – for the pure unintentional comedy factor. What could be better than watching Fred Durst’s career implode, AGAIN?!!! This is going to be like a modern day Spinal Tap. I’m psyched!!!

buncha tools, man. and hell no. he’s just as bad as vanilla ice.

hahahahahahahah this is going to terrible.

xxplosive0420=believes wrestling is real

Limp Bizkit rocks!

I promise you 5 years from now we’ll have Fred Durst’s Rock of Love. I just hope my TV doesn’t get Herpes.

When the hell did the “rock world” get standards?

I agree with the article. There is room for some rap rock agression from the people who experienced it the first time. I won’t buy it, but I can see it happening and accidentally being big. New Kids sold out a lot of damn shows to people who can now afford to spend the money they couldn’t in high school and college.

I can’t take these idiotic people that just like to hate on bands for no good reason (or just because other people hate them). NO!!! Limp Bizkit does not suck, and I listen to Heavy metal and 80’s rock, and I really like Limp Bizkit too. People these days just don’t have a mind of their own. Can’t wait for the new album!!!!!

No, it really is not time for Limp Bizkit. We had enough of Durst in the late ’90s and early ’00s to leave us nauseated for a lifetime. Go away and take Britney with you.

Cool… but just get rid of that Durst tool and let Vanilla Ice sing… he has way more talent than fat Fred.

After the BS he pulled at Summer Sanitarium in 2003, he better not show up in town. I hope Q101 remebers that crap and ignores whatever crap they put out. The only band I would like to see reunite less then LB is Creed.

I’m in my late 20s. Limps first album, 3 dollar bill yall came out when I was in high school. They were cool back then. Not sure how well this will work, today. Wes is an amazing guitar player. Very under-rated. He should stick with Black Light Burns. Maybe he’s just doing this for the money, cause of the economy, and BLB isnt making much, because no one knows about them… but they should. Black Light Burns is awesome

Are you kidding?? Limp Bizshit was the worst thing to happen in the 90’s, and we’re all better off that they dropped of the face of the planet. Durst’s ‘rapping’ was pathetic and the rest of the band were idiots to follow along with him as long as they did.

LB don’t even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as bands like Pearl Jam and Aerosmith, who are both legends of their respective times, like them or not. Limp Bizkit isn’t anything more than a footnote in the great book of bad ideas.

I’m not sure about Bizkit, but I do think not people can really hate Creed. I mean just because Scott had more problems than Amy Winehouse does not mean that you can take away from the fact that they had some good songs. Where I live Creed still get radio play and are considered a good band.

I’d take Poison over Limp Bizkit. NuRock mostly sucks and these guys are a joke

I’m not saying Fred Durst is a good singer and I’m certainly not saying he’s anything short of the biggest douche in the universe, but I’ve never seen anyone other than Zack de la Rocha or Axl Rose work up a crowd the way Fred does.

I’ve seen him take a stadium full of people booing and throwing shit at him when he comes out and make them rock out like crazy by the time he leaves.

Also, Limp Bizkit have a great jazz-influenced drummer in John Otto, a fantastic bass player in Sam Rivers, and a great/innovative/charismatic guitarist in Wes Borland.

Like them or not, they were everything that constitutes a great band.

“people want to hate them, but they don’t. They don’t really hate them. Everybody owns those albums, everybody loves ‘Nookie.’”

WTF!?!? Someone actually made that comment?

I love the part in the article where it basically says how bands like Linkin Park have demoted themselves to writing whimpy top 40 ballads. You people trash Limp Bizkit yet praise Linkin Park’s new sappy direction? We live in a music age now cluttered by cookie-cutter power ballads from Nickelback, Hinder, Saving Abel, etc. And not to mention lame pop-punk/emo stuff like My Chemical Romance, All-American Rejects and Fall Out Boy. Mainstream Rock has gotten a lot worse since Limp Bizkit’s last album in 2003. Let’s face it.

I have to wonder if the majority of you people would actually prefer Fall Out Boy over Limp Bizkit. Keep in mind, FOB is just as mainstream as LB was from 1999-2001. Just keep that in mind and get back to me. The Nu-Metal craze really wasn’t as bad as the stuff we hear now. In the end, it’s all the same post-grunge clutter.

Umm playing Limp Bizkit instead of Pearl Jam on the radio….really? REALLY?

Dan to answer you’re question I’d rather have NO fall out boy or limp bizkit, but unfortunately the world sucks

WOOOOOOOOT LIMP BIZKIT FUCK YEA THIS IS AWSOME NO MORE PUSSY MUSIC JUST PLAIN OLD ROCK! THIS IS BETTA THEN BLINK 182 GETTING BACK TOGETHER!

limp bizkit a good band…………………….. ………………………… ………………………… ………………………… ………………………… ………………………… ….for retarts

Fuck limp bizkit who the hell likes them they are the most stupidest band ever why would they come back the worlds better without them they dont like the music we listen to well alot of people like it they are just probly shitty cuz nobody liked them.haters united

I think its sad how people will follow with what they are told. If this article read ” Limp Bizkit is making a comeback to break up todays same old boring bullshit music” people would be like “f__ck yeah can’t wait”. But because its a “Are we really ready” article people are in doubt. Noone has a mind of their own anymore, what ever the media says, lets just agree and follow them. BOORRRRIINNNNGGG!!!!!!! If they do tour i’m flying over to a show for sure.

fuck yeah. i love limp bizkit. 3 dollar bill yall and significant other are fucking excellent. i love heavy and industrial metal as well but there is not enough rap metal atm too much soft emo/scene BULLSHIT. iam very happy that the whole original members are in it too i hope wes gets his wacky-self out again. fred is like marmite you either love him or hate him and i love marmite haha

Ok, when they came out when I was 12 or whatever, they were really cool. I loved Faith and Nookie. But when Fred Durst started, ya know, being himself, I stopped listening to him (along with Bizkit). I’m going to assume they’re doing the same kind of music but generally, people will listen. Mostly out of nostalgia for their hate-ridden youth but maybe it’ll be a bit better. And btw, I like FOB. They’re funny. But i’ll give you My Chem. Romance needs to seriously go away. And no one should ever mention Creed again – if for no other reason than Stapp did an interview where he said they’re not a christian band… THEY’RE CALLED CREED AND MENTION GOD IN EVERY SONG… OF COURSE THEIR CHRISTIAN. Ok, done ranting now

music has ever seen…..seriously they were cool for a 2 seconds. I wanna see them tour with Kriss Kross.

I think the headline of this article should read “Limp Bizkit reuniting. Does anyone really give a shit?” The answer is no.

I just hope they bring back the Bizketts (or however you spell that)!

This makes me ache even more for U2’s album to be released.

limp bizkit came out and it was cool to like them in 1999 because they had that element of rock and rap that took it to the next level. the actual band not (fred durst)is not bad. and to see them come back and maybe do new shit that may actually be respectable

i’m as ready for limp bisquit to make a comeback as i’m ready for the plague to make a comeback.
don’t we have enough shit in the music biz without having to add this pile of poop!

this is one of those bands were the guitarest is cool but the band hez in sux!! like tom morello, jeff loomis (nevermore), or van halen. all those guitaest have talent but there bands blow huge nuts. wes, as ur buddy i strongly advise that u run the hills now…

It is funny how everyone loves to bash these bands (Limp, Creed, etc), yet let me say this…. They put out albums, people bought them, people paid to see them live, and bought their merchandise. Is their music for everyone? No. But ask yourself this question…

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??

Thanks for listening

If Scott Weiland produces the next Limp disc, then Durst might have a chance at reclaiming success. Unlikely though.

BTW – it’s spelled Biscuit.

Thanks.

Forget Limp Bizquick.

Listen to Faith No More’s ‘Angel Dust’ instead. Same musical vein but INFINITELY better.

I was 14/15 during the Limp heyday. Yeah, I owned Significant Other, I chalk it up to being young and stupid. The rhythm section of Rivers and Otto is decent, and Borland ain’t too bad either. But Fred Durst? biggest d-bag on the planet. Can’t rap, sing, or do anything a competent frontman does.

That said, at least they aren’t wuss rock like FOB or ballady sh!t rock like Hinder, Nickelback, Saving Abel, etc.

Its hard to say, I think today is interested in such a wide variety of music that why cant Limp Bizkit have some good moments again… Man that brings me back to seeing how crazy they got the crowd at Woodstock, I remember the Chaos that they got that crowd to do. Man if they had such a huge fan base back then I don’t think anyone can say it can’t happen again.

Limp Bizkit created a RIOT at woodstock 99. Fred Durst said to “BURN THIS M’FER DOWN” and they did. They rocked out when they opened for Metallica at summer sanitarium. They have high energy in concert unlike other bands. And i do believe there is room for limp bizkit. SiriusXM plays alot of music from all genres, so i’m sure they will at least get some air time on there.

You all love Limp Bizkit. Admit it. They’re eight million times better than half the shit Rollingstone is sucking off now. Fall Out Boy? Jonas Brothers? Please. I’d rather listen to a little bit of misplaced aggression than some meta-ironic pop punk or Disney kids whose voices are just beginning to crack.

No. Not every band needs to try and make a comeback.

To Radio Zero’s post…..they spell it Bizkit not biscuit. Thought maybe you were kidding but not so sure.

Yes, Limp Bizkit is hella better than the Anus (Jonas) Brothers, Nickelback, Fall Out Boy and any other pseudo-rock bands out there.
But they’ll never be as good as Pearl Jam or Foo Fighters or Kings of Leon (pre-Only By The Night, of course!).
Limp was a novelty act during the novelty era of rap-rock. They blew their load then–well–went limp! HA HA!!

This band is complete shit.

nooooooooooooooo!!!!

nooooooooooo!!!!!

Just the fact that there is this much responce about Limp Bizk shows you who all “goves a shit” you are all onere to say yea otr nay but you know what if you didn’t give a shit why you wasting your time with this I say “Bring it on”!!!it proves to you tha

Just the fact that there is this much responce to this blog shows you who really loves Limp Bizkit. If you didn’t care why are you waisting your time with a comment. We all had their albums because they rocked, you looked at this blog and chose to comment to either say they were cool or get a reaction. Well bravo! You now have a reaction. Now go throw your significat other album in and shut up. They didn’t sell millions of albums to ghosts.i say “bring it on”

What the f – i thought Borland was just quoted joining Manson and talking shit about Limp Bizkit; now he’s rejoining them? This is as lame as the whole Blink 182 regroup. Artists must be feeling the economy crunch too and getting desperate. f it. f u. ftw. – Jesus

ahh, the sweet sight of ignorance. music should go into a progression not a regression, and if limp bizkit can improve their sound it is a progression. all because they come back does not mean they will put out the same shit. there has been many bands that re-unit and change their sound to fit the music world. i actually cant wait to hear what they can do.

its about to be 2001 all over again

blinks coming back,limp bizkit.

next thing you know korn will trade their arena for a little club and tune down the bass again

Borland did record TUT Pt. 1…he didnt record the piece of shit “Results May Vary”

also, limp bizkit rules

I like what Mark Tulsa said a few posts below about Scott Weiland….

Scott Weiland did two great guest appearances on Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish. The guy is one of the best rock frontmen of the past 20 years along with Chris Cornell.

But Weiland shouldn’t waste his time with LB and instead focus on recording the new Stone Temple Pilots album which is due out later this year. Thank God for STP! One of the best bands ever. I’m glad they’re back!

everyone saying how much they hate limp are tryhards who think there cool just because critics and bands hate them. I like strong lyrics good beat and flow and if its got attitude its a bonus limp bizkit are the shit can not wait for the return of limp bizkit

limp is ql… they have attidude..
unlike the hole mainstream music today.. that’s just crap..

F the haters Fred!!! Limp Bizkit’s the bomb ass shizzle fo’ rizzle!!! Can’t wait for some new beats to bump in my trunk!!! You better F that S up!!!

“limp is ql… they have attidude..
unlike the hole mainstream music today.. that’s just crap..”

Lol, what do you think Limp Dipshit is? Indie? Christ, is everyone posting trying to relive their late 90s middle school days? This music is trash. Faith No More started the whole rap-rock trend and that was as good as it got. Everyone else is a cheap imitation. Its 2009 and so far this decade has sucked balls musically except for the indie rock explosion and older groups like Radiohead and Sonic Youth putting out records. Just when I thought music couldn’t get any worse, its starting to.

cmone bands like linkin park sold out completely! limp bizkit is going to fuckin keep metal alive

“Like them or not, they were everything that constitutes a great band.”

Yep. Everything except talent.

I DO have a mind of my own and I say limp bizkit sucks. balls. Just like emo, Nickleback, Fall Out Boy, Britney, and everything that gets radio airplay today.

Indie rock is the best thing out there today. That is all.

All u people hating on here are missing a key point. Limp Bizkit has been and remains a very, very popular band on the other side of the world, where they have never toured before and the culture is very, very different then it is here. It is a culture that exists completely outside the realm of “nu metal”, “late 90’s”, “emo” or any of these other things that are so much a part of the American pop culture mentality. Over in Europe, Argentina, and The U.K it’s really alot more about the music on the music’s terms. And alot more people over there are and have been feeling Limp Bizkit songs long after they faded out over here. You may notice that the first 30 or 40 dates scheduled are all in that part of the world.

It became really cool to hate on limp Bizkit and really uncool to like them but there was a reason that they were so popular in the first place and that is because they wrote good songs, not just one, two, or three but more like fifteen to twenty at least.

Good music is good music and it survives and outlasts all changes in the pop culture landscape. Limp Bizkit with Wes Borland was and will always be a good band that know how to play and write really good, original songs. Thats what made them famous to begin with.

I’m open to debates on this

i dont say lb is a hopeless band .but sumtimes it really sucks.. i feel like sayin to them “eat u alive” ha ha !!!

“themanstrikesagain | 2/22/2009, 12:26 am EST

All u people hating on here are missing a key point. Limp Bizkit has been and remains a very, very popular band on the other side of the world” Um…no…nobody over here likes them at all. Rap-rock/metal has died in the same degree as it has over in the US.
“Over in Europe, Argentina, and The U.K it’s really alot more about the music on the music’s terms. And alot more people over there are and have been feeling Limp Bizkit songs long after they faded out over here.” True about the music, which is why people now realize that LB sucks balls. There will be a very low turnout at the concerts. And fucking travel before you make generalizations.

Well, I will say even after the times have changed, so has my music collection, but my albums of LB are still there. Sure I may not play there stuff like I repeatedly did a few years ago, but just the other day, I did begin to wonder, and now, this. I think it is great to hear that they are planning on getting the original band back together. Will Wes bring back the black lenses again, and will Fred still don the Red Hat? I’m curious to see, but more concerned on what the music will be like. Afterall, the new generation of music that is on the radio are by bands who are being listen to kids that grew up watching a purple dinosaur and are now the reason bands on radio today are being listened to. But, then again, I believe the music we listen to today is far more disposable than Limp Bizkit. I kept my albums, no need to download there…

listen 2 all u cry babys haters..limp is tha shit..u aint ready 4 it boi..

Its funny how many people actually cared to comment to this! The truth is be prepared to rock out again! Who else creates beats and rocks out on the mic like limp bizkit! All the haters are goin to feel like dumb asses when lb comes out with a 1# album! Its been way too long!

finally limp bizkit, the orginal lineup is back. wes borland coming back to lb is making 09′ look sick. it’s about time too, emo and indie rocks sucks. really sucks.

You all fail.

I think the real question should be: Is Limp Bizkit Ready to Play Empty Concert Venues?

Limp Bizkit coming back?..Its gonna be very interesting to see bizkit back again. i wish them well.

I love how there are people on here saying they’re going to come back and have a number 1 album and blah blah blah…if you dont remember they “came back” a few years ago and were gonna “kick ass” and “have a number 1 album again”, and then what happened? Oh right they realized they suck and broke up again! They will never be a successful band again.

I cant wait , I love the Bizkit and with the origonal crew incl Borland, it will be sick once again..Cant wait !!!

limp bizkit is back! awsome!!! they are the best they rock in the 90’s and they still rock! they are the best of the best if they do come back they should be able to make it to the top agien with no prob. limp bizkit welcome back and gl

limp bizkit is back! awsome!!! they are the best they rock in the 90’s and they still rock! they are the best of the best if they do come back they should be able to make it to the top agien with no prob. limp bizkit welcome back and gl

Ill pay Fred Durst to not play if he is this desperate for money. Fuck Limp Dickshit.

are you limp with the bizkit

for all you haters-screw you. I seen them in Denver for their anger management tour and they were awesome. I am 39 and been to a lot of concerts and they rocked. I am pumped about them getting back together and I hope they go back to Denver because I will for sure be there. Love you guys.

lb is one of the best bands ever..you all know that you loved and thought lb was the best before so just enjoy and start listening to one of the greatest fuckn bands ever..lbfamily 4 life….

I for one have waited for this bad to reunite forver, they rocked back in the 90’s and i believe they will bring mainstream music down to their knees with their come back album, and to all you haters I got 3 words for you, Go Fuck Yourself.

im glad that bizkit is back! and yes! with WES! music sucks the lately, so its time for more aggrssion rock, metal, and some body painting from wes!!

keep on the good work guys! no matter what others say! much love from maria:))
