The Who may be like the coolest band ever, dude. But c'mon on... give me one real reason why you all feel Limo BIzkit shouldn't have covered Behind Blue Eyes. A real reason... not the typical "Fred's a fuck" answer. And don't tell me because their music sucks... they are the Led Zepplin/Who of our generation. Our kids will feel about them the same we feel about The Who.

If my kids think that way about Limp Bizkit, I will excommunicate them. I don't dislike him because he is a "fuck," but rather that he is a fucking sellout. When Limp Bizkit hit the scene whenever the hell they did (my sophomore year in HS, maybe), they were a totally original act. Someone had finally done justice to the whole "rap rock" genre. It was screaming vocals, laid over a killer guitar track, with a hip hop groove. But then the dreaded popularity set in. The kids (top 40 type listeners) began listening to this new style and it spread like wildfire. People who would never have listened to any rock music now listened to LB. But these fans still dug their top 40 shit music too. Top 40 is by far a more popular genre than any form of rock then and now. In order to keep selling records and making money, they had to still be liked by the top 40 crowd. They changed their sound, 86ing the screaming and making way for more of a rap feel. Anyone who has heard more than the latest LB single will not argue that they sound nothing like they used to. Listen to 3 Dollar Bill Y'all and then to whatever the fuck their new CD is called and tell me there isn't a difference. They were faced with the same choice that most other bands hope to face; do I do what I feel is right or do I do what others think is right and hit it big?
So that is why I hate Fred Durst.
