"Nookie" bridge is crazy intense maan

voted for the worst to sabotage poll

Yeah but how do you even know what's worst if you hate on all of it?

"Gold Cobra" is about equal with "My Generation" I guess

bunch of album tracks on Chocolate Starfish, in addition to the lol value from Durst's lyrics, have real solid grooves on the verses. was surprised after I wrote group off for the longest time as crappy notrealmusic I only liked cuz it was "cool" in middle school

"Gold Cobra" is about equal with "My Generation" I guess

what the christ

It's all about the he said / she said bullshit

I was 15 when Rollin came out and everyone I knew agreed that LB had bceome teenbopper bull$#!t., and that Fred had turned into a clown. We would've all laughed in the face of anyone who suggested it was better than Break Stuff.

Wow, brave position to take here, hope you make it out of this thread alive

Don't think they ever got better than Counterfeit, personally......

would have voted for "the truth" if it existed

I know it's a boring choice (what with it being the critical favorite: http://robertchristgau.com/xg/pnj/pjres99.php) but going with "Nookie". Lotta contenders for the silver medal, though.

I have a confession to make... once I realized what "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" meant I couldn't listen to the album anymore. I didn't realize the meaning was so GROSS. LOL. Sorry... I know this makes me seem weird...

It's all about the he said she said POLLshit - Limp Bizkit Singles

would have been kinda interested in a version with "gold cobra" i guess, that song isn't exactly good but it's soooo much better than any of their other post-heyday singles. That one from last year with Lil Wayne was just O_o, "GO FUCK YOURSELF!" notwithstanding.

fred durst singing "behind blue eyes"?!? dope!!

Careful looking up the meaning of the band's name...

my local hard rock station STILL plays the Bizkit version of "Behind Blue Eyes" semi-regularly. recently i heard someone call in and request the song, and the DJ asked "The Who's version?" because they probably get just as many calls for the LB one.

would love to know what led to them adding a "discover l-i-m-p, say it" speak'n'spell break on that track

probably the disinterest or inability to perform the "if I swallow anything evil" bridge from the original song

I guess Stuck wasn't a single? Always been my favorite LB song. Out of this...? Probably either Rearranged or N 2 Gether Now

y'know, i don't think i've ever actually heard the who studio version (first time i heard the song at all was flipping by their WTC memorial concert on TV) so it was a leap of faith (no pun intended!) that the who hadn't asked us to discover l-i-m-p as well

Behind Blue Eyes was a travesty. They should only cover songs by former members of Wham!

*am now wondering if LB could do a slamming version of Freedom '90*

"check it out!"

"you guys are, like, flying"

"man..."

"I wonder what just happened"

"did we just drown in the milk?"

"I don't think so, I can still breathe and talk"

"are we in Heaven? I think we're dead!"

"dude, if we were in Heaven, man, I'd be kickin' it with Method Man right now"

i didn't think it was possible to grow up a rock fan in late 20th century America without knowing the more popular half of Who's Next by heart. if you lived in the suburbs you were issued it, it came in the mail with samples of Tide.

Well I was in enough of a SPIN-led alt-tunnel that I managed not to hear stairway to heaven until senior year of high school, so...

jesus, you were like a 120 Minutes Mennonite

i'd certainly read about that old shit thanks to Rolling Stone Record Guides, but focused my money and attention on the stuff in the SPIN one until my 20s, for sure

i knew baba o'riley though

Surely you meant to title this poll as 'the least worst Limp Bizkit single'.

Surely you meant to post on some message board where boring received wisdom about uncool bands never fails to be upheld

i didn't learn what a "limp bizkit" is until just the other day

i don't know if my respect for the band has increased or descreased

The only non-covers I remember from this list are "Nookie", "Rollin'", and "Break Stuff". I listened to them today. Imo, the latter two are just embarrassing but "Nookie" actually sounds convincingly cold and desperate now.

"counterfeit" >>>>>

although yeah this is "re-arranged" for me

I think it's easily "Rollin"

"Behind Blue Eyes"

Limp Bizkit has not crossed my mind even once in at least ten years, but looooool-ing at myself for how angry I used to get about their popularity.

Voting for Nookie because heyyyyyyyy

so empire

Went w Re-arranged in the end

"Nookie", closely followed by "Re-arranged"

i'm not even shifting goalposts just questioning my own taste!!! i actually have very controversial opinions about david silvera that i feel weird airing out bc i'm not like a good drummer or anything and i apparently enjoy funkless, leaden drummers

(fieldy made silvera sound better than he was, and his gradual disinterest toward doing anything interesting with his playing over the course of several korn records makes me kinda hate him, tbh)

hey everyone likes what they like

LB's drummer always seemed...okay? fine?

i definitely like LB better than korn, i don't have time for all that jonathan davis goth oogityboogity shit, give me my red hatted goofball and i'll be feelin them lighters in biloxi

would also like to add that ideally all bass players should make the drummer sound better than they are

I have obviously spent a lot of time with Silvera's drumming on the first two Korn albums and while he wasn't the most graceful or effortless drummer, he was really inventive and came up with a lot of little tricks that I've been using for years. This thing grooves and the fills around 0:25 and 0:40 are totally weird.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDaQaFx2FU4

the fills on the first korn record are totally sick and are one of the main attractions i agree

my favorite rock rhythm section will prob always be chi/abe cunningham for perspective

i guess the thing i really like about limp's rhythm section is it's very fusion-y? otto aside, rivers' playing is totally in this constantly bending melodic-and-rhythmic fusion space

Have you gotten your Sam Rivers' confused?

my favorite rock rhythm section will prob always be chi/abe cunningham for perspective

Brad, otm.

Eat You Alive is probably the one that left the biggest impression on me, though that impression has changed over the years from surprise, to cringe, to now hilarious, and would probably be the one I would do at karaoke, which is a big factor in how I judge song quality. That being said, I gotta go with Rollin' since I requested it at a one of the in school dances in 6th grade.

Durst band ever

That Wikipedia.bit about Zach de la Rocha made me laugh far too hard, cheers Brad

this song feels like Fred downloaded a pack of Limp Bizkit samples from FTP site, then spent a happy three-day weekend playing around in GarageBand.

this is true and it’s also why i like it lol

Fred looks like he should be in Cake now

well these are hands down the best lyrics he's ever written

first impression is that this feels/sounds like General Larry Pratt's American Idol audition classic "Pants on the Ground"

wow that good?

The whole Dad Vibes thing made me think, aw, maybe Durst has some little shorties running around these days in his mellow years, but his kids are like 20 and 31

On October 6, 2018, Shaggy 2 Dope from hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse attempted to dropkick Durst during a performance of the song "Faith". DJ Lethal from Limp Bizkit responded on Instagram Live calling Shaggy a "clout chaser".[63]

xp maybe he's got more than that! a buddy of mine went to school with a girl whose Dad was Darius Rucker, born 9 months after Hootie played a show in Madison. apparently every time that Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch commercial came on TV her roommates would all shout "look! your dad's on TV!!"

while Faith No More vocalist Mike Patton paraphrased the quote attributed to Götz von Berlichingen, Er kann mich am Arsch lecken – "He can lick my ass", when asked by a German reporter about Durst's interest in releasing his music through Interscope Records.[139]

what did I just watch

haha .. basically my reaction when i watched it last night.

I kind of empathize for Durst. Dude seems like an earnest dorkus who just wants to bang models and play caveman riffs and listen to the Smiths but turned himself into music's whipping boy, perhaps as a defense mechanism, perhaps because he's not clever enough to turn himself into a 50 Cent-style heel, perhaps because he's not confident/rich enough to be an ICP-style "we're gonna do our thing regardless." He's worked with Pauly Shore and Corey Feldman and John Travolta, all of whom kind of have the same vibe of like fairly talented guys who clearly love their medium but don't really have the same artistic insight that drives their peers

album is dope

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKAOAnPmp2E

yeah idk if I'm just overly nostalgic for the 90s but this actually seems pretty decent

Wait, what?

This decent enough C+ LB, better than anyone has a right to expect in 2021

I shall not be tricked into listening to a new limp bizkit album in 2021.

funny to have a song about not caring about haters

a song called "snacky poo" is inauspicious (haven't reached it yet)

for years they were supposed to come out with an album about a Giant Disco Elephant Stampede or something. I'm guessing this is not that

i think this album is what some of that material might have eventually turned into

I had never heard "N 2 Gether Now" until DJ Premier did a video about it a couple of weeks ago and it would have earned my vote.

“N 2 Gether Now” is the closest thing to cred this album has.

I’m also partial to the bassline in “rearrenged”, that’s a good one.

Fred Durst is awful throughout though

my teen friends and i were pretty up on "N 2 Gether Now," but mostly for the beat, Method Man, and the squiggley censoring effect for the chorus on MTV.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o4GcD7X-hs

So this DJ Premier walkthrough on the build of “N 2 Gether Now” is really good and a +1 for durst

wow, that was really enjoyable. might dig into the rest of that series!

yeah that was gret

“no sex” is embarrassing

ahahaha i'm an idiot, that song is dope

haha wow would not have imagined such a song in their catalog

it's like the anthem of Clem in Crossroads (Franzen novel)
