Look, lyrically Limp Bizkit is dumb as living fuck... but they had some bangers and Wes Borland was an amazing guitarist who made a great solo album... which included a great song sort-of mocking Limp Bizkit style songs.
Sucks cause Limp Bizkit kinda tarnished the whole "nu-metal" genre that was pretty fuckin' diverse in the background. There was all kinds of different metal/rock-infused-with-other-styles being tried. Myself, I was a big industrial fan, like NIN/Stabbing Westward/Gravity Kills kinda stuff. I also love my Fear Factory.
I almost forgot about Fear Factory. Thanks for giving me something to jam to all weekend again!
To be fair, I will vouch for Dirty Rotten Bizkit being a great track. It's the closest Limp Bizkit came to emulating the success of Chocolate Starfish.
Wes Borland is so talented, it's Rick-diculous.41 yr old fan of LB since I was 15.
