Im going to just leave this here…and go blow my brains out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-P7FpAzEs8
I guess they like Ministry…whatever.
Ha, they are an absolute bunch of clowns. The band’s tight, but the man himself is a total fucking bell-end.
I couldn’t finish it. Depressed me too much.
Ugh.
The band sounds awesome! And if Fred used a little more voice echo or distortion on his voice, I think the cover would really have been amazing.
I would NOT have recognized Fred Durst if he wasn’t identified. He looks like Brian Posehn or something. What a fat beardy slob.
That being said . . . I’ve never been on the Limp Bizkit hatewagon. I’m not a fanboy or anything, but I’ve seen 'em live in a stadium of 80,000 Metallica fans ready for murder and they triumphed over all odds. Fred’s got my respect.
But yeah . . . he looks like a hobo now.
Not the best, but certainly not the worst.
I do like that it atleast sounded different from the original.
Slightly.
just like with thieves, this is not a full song and just a quick little jam, no harm done anyway (or maybe this video is incomplete and with thieves they actually did full song, but i dont know). kinda bad vocals though. it all sounded different becasue no vox fx and no gtr harmonics in verse i guess.
bands sometimes do these short segments for fun or inbetween songs. metallica liked to play such bits during the tours for black album - and much loosely, with more messing around, for example, fuckin up lyrics, etc.
Al’s story about making a fool out of Durst in the studio was pretty funny, Durst wanted to sound like Al so much that he hired him to make him sound like Al, with regrettable results.
What, this thread has been up a whole day now and ‘deadguy’ hasn’t sauntered in to make some snide comment about how Fred Durst does this song better than Chris Connelly ever did?
Look - I like to evaluate musical performance on its own, and not to let performers’ reputation and personalities have too much bearing on what I think about the sonic results. I hardly ever read music scene rags anymore, because trivia about musicians’ lives almost always has a negative impact on how I perceive their music.
So, just based on what I’m seeing here, and pretending I know nothing whatsoever about Limp Bizkit’s affiliations / habits / attitudes etc., this is a competent sort of hardcore jam but it just needs an especially venomous vocal turn to put it over the top. Chris did that, of course, and I think some people like Foetus would also do interesting things with the song. Fred Durst just doesn’t have a unique enough vocal delivery to make it slice through the air like the version recorded for “In Case…”

That would require a positive statement made by deadguy. Doesn’t happen.
To me, it sounded like Durst was just “shouting” the lyrics really loud as if he was just trying to talk to someone where it was hard to hear. It didn’t sound like singing or rapping or anything else music related. So, it just seemed forced and lame to me. I’m sure it sounded a lot better live, though, because the instrumental portion of the song was somewhat faint in the video.
Agreed. The vocals were really the only weak link as far as I’m concerned. And while I will always defend the Bizkit based on what I’ve seen and heard in the past, yeah, this new incantation, despite the competent hired guns, just seems like Fatty McBigMac ran out of booze money so he decided to roll his ass off the couch for the first time in 10 years.
I would really like it to be better. Durst, despite his frat-boy douchitude, at least used to have ENERGY and passion. If he still has it, it’s not shown in this video. It felt too much like one of those “Live Band Karaoke” deals where the band knows what they are doing and the singer is just a bloated fart with his shot at 3 minutes of glory. It never quite delivers.
So much wasted talent in that band that could be put to better use, like a new House Of Pain or Big Dumb Face album.
Well, in all fairness they’re not much worse than this:

I bet the crowd thought it was a new Limp Bizkit song.

You’re probably right, actually. I don’t think they said, “This is a Ministry song we’re gonna do for you!” or anything of the sort. Durst just said, “This is the first time WE’RE doing this song!” so I think most people there probably would just assume it was their own.
Al should “donate” Test to Fred. LB’s remaining fanbase would likely go bonkers over it, especially if he could dig K-Lite out of retirement for a special onstage appearance!

HAHA!!! I don’t know why I’m totally loving this idea.

Fred Durst could just record K-Lite’s parts and have a Ministry rap-off with himself, some of the fans would definitely think it was Limp BizKit.
