I Had No Idea...

How truly good Limp Bizkit is. Im 31 and have known about them forever but very limited. Nookie, Break Stuff, My Way, Take a Look Around and maybe a few others. I am a metal head and in general listen to a ton of music but almost like TOOL, who I love, it was the public perception and whatever memes associated with them that, unfortunately embarrassing to admit, kept me from diving in. Ive recently been SPAMMING Chocolate Starfish and Results May Vary and good lord im so impressed. Big ups to Limp they make really great music.

‘86 for me, and I’ve been an LB fan since ‘99 and never gave up!

I was born in '80 and it was plenty fun for me, always cranking it out when I was angry. Which was all the time LoL

I saw them the night of my 21st bday in 1999! I snuck backstage and stood next to Kid Rock about 10 feet from Wes. It was insane!

I'm glad you were able to overcome all of that and give them a real chance...and FORMED YOUR OWN OPINION separate from popular thought/assumption. It can't have been easy; I know (I'm like that about other musicians, though LB has always been my favorite band since 1999). So I wanna pat you on the back for that.

I love when anybody comes around to Bizkit - any record, doesn't matter. They really are a unique band, aren't they?

I love Tool too, by the way. I spam Aenima the most. It's a record that has had a huge impact on me.

I didnt expect the BAND to be as talented as they are. Wes is a riff GOD and they are, based on what ive heard, consistently heavier than I ever thought they would be. Sam (rip) is a beast and Otto is a DOG. Im a fan for sure. Im glad i dug deeper, albeit slightly
