Remember Fred Durst in wwe video games? My hate had never been so high for that talentless hack. On somewhat unrelated note, Big Dumb Face was amazing. You ever heard of the band Ween? Yes i actually played push th little daisies on my college video show back in the day. And have even cought them live. good stuff. back on topic, Limp Bizkit at mania was like kid rock last year, why waste the time? Taker should have politiced for his brother to get a spot on the ppv card with the time his entrance took

Limp Bizkit is to music as Billy Gunn is to wrestling. I don't get it, please explain? Anyway, Limp Bizkit were HUUGGEE in the late 1990s(along with Korn), but at that point they were past their prime.

Motorhead @ WM 17 > Limp Bizkit @ WM 19.

Both are utterly crappy and uninteresting performers who found unexplained popularity in the late 90s, only to fiddle and drift away, proving what no talent hacks they truly were. They are both irrelevant now.

"I'm a crack addict. You heard me, I'm a crack addict. I'm addicted to crackin' skulls when punks start static."
Best lyrics ever.

I seriously wished Taker chokeslammed Fred Durst once he hit the ring. Can't stand LB (especially what the real meaning of the term is), but their WWE stuff is actually not bad. Hmmm.... *looks on Urban Dictionary* WHY WOULD YOU NAME YOUR BAND AFTER THAT!?

Significant Other, while I think was better(much better) than their following albums had more of a commercial sound to it.. Chocolate Starfish, thats when they jumped the shark.

They're playing the Reading and Leeds Festivals over here this year. I think I'm gonna go and watch 'em, just out of sheer curiosity.
But yeah, I wasn't really a fan. "Eat You Alive" was a pretty good song, even if the lyrics were pure misogyny.

Limp Bizkit killed rock radio. That said, the Rock/Austin video is how you promote a fight.

This was when WWE used good current music. Wait...what? First rule of a barley96 post. Must bash ANYTHING about current WWE even if it involves something as nonsensical as calling Limp Bizkit "good current music" I actually love reading barley's posts because he's such a polar opposite of me. Its fun.

I liked the performance just for the novelty of them having Head replace Wes Borland. Agree with the poster who said Motorhead's performance was better, despite (or perhaps because of) Lemmy having no idea what the lyrics to the song were.

Heh...IMO, their absolute peak of achievement as far as wrestling goes was giving the WWE the rights to use "My Way" for the Austin/Rock WM X-7 title match. You can keep your Shawn/Taker promo vids...that one right there is my personal favorite of all time. Only time I ever, eeeeeeeeeever liked Limp Bizkit.

No, I think both of those have aged horribly. Although I do agree that "My Way" is a fantastic promo video, but I attribute that more to the 01-03 WWE production team being THE ABSOLUTE BEST THEY EVER HAD. Look at what they got from "Remedy" by Cold leading into Backlash '03. Bizkit is an awful band and EVERYTHING about their WM XIX involvement was awful and the clearest sign that the WWE was out of touch with anything current in pop culture, a stigma that carries through to this day. It's like when that guy requested Vince get Diddy for mania 25.

I enjoy a little LB from time to time...
They led the scene of a VERY popular sound in at the time with the rock/rap blend. Even though Fred Durst is not a good rapper... he had stage presence... mix that with a VERY underrated drummer in John Otto and brilliant mixing of DJ Lethal from House of Pain, you got one hell of a live show.
It's one of those popular sounds in music that was sooo big that people got SICK of it. Like Backstreet an Nysync with boy bands, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy with that swing craze, Nickelback with blowing up Nu-Metal... All those bands including LB will be hated for leading in a sound of music that is "not cool" to like because it was popular around 5 years ago.
In related news... LB is headlining a sold out festival here in Houston and is having comeback tour.

I have to admit, having been there live and watching it again on DVD, I really liked their use for Taker's entrance. The song they played earlier in the day, not so much. Their impact would have been greater if they were used for only the one song, but it was still a pretty good moment.

Ok, them singing Taker to the ring was pretty bad ass. You really shouldn't use "bad ass" in a sentence describing Limp Dipshit.
