wes is my next door neighboor…ha ha haters!
Haters? Or just indifferent?
I’ll give it a listen.
I actually kinda like the Bizkit. I saw them open for Metallica back on the St. Anger tour. I was ready and set to join the tens of thousands of “REAL” metal fans primed to boo them off the stage . . . you could NOT have had a more hateful crowd if you held auditions. But by the end of their set . . . EVERYONE in the audience was loving them and cheering. Seriously, it was an epic change of heart and Mr. Durst (this was sans-Borland, by the way) earned my respect BIG TIME.
I later bought at least one CD (for $3 at the used bookstore) and dig on quite a few of the jams. They’re just fun.
So, yeah, Big Ups to the Bizkit.
Congratulations, you live next door to the one almost redeeming quality of that horrible band of schmucks. Which somehow makes you less of a turd burglar how, exactly? Thanks for stopping in with your usual useless inanity. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.
Haters? Or just indifferent?
Indifferent? Come on, Man! It’s 2013! LB is still rockin’ the charts and burnin’ up the frathouse dancefloors (and rape-basements) all over the nation . . . aren’t they? Hello? Hello? Bueller?
Remember when Fred and Scott Stapp were calling each other out and wanted to box or something? Why were we denied that? That would have been pure magic.

Durst vs Stapp would have been the greatest Douche-Off in the history of Douche…

I know, right? Even better than when Screech brutalized Horshack on Celebrity Boxing.
Oh, and my Bizkit-luv post . . . . totally serious.

Oh man,the Screech-Horseshack(rip) bout…that Celebrity Boxing shit was nutty…I think I remember Danny Partridge fighting Greg Brady also…and I remember the basketball player Manute Bol(rip) fighting someone but I can’t remember who…Manute Bol had one of the oddest anatomical structures you have ever seen…it was beyond awkward watching him in the ring…
The Manute Bol fight was particularly AWKWARD. He was matched up against . . . wait for it . . . you can’t make this up . . . seriously, this actually happened . . . . William “The Refrigerator” Perry!!!
They were both out of shape and uncoordinated, but in very different ways. Perry was a fat blob and sort of waddled around like a walrus shuffling on his flippers. And Manute was so lanky and wobbly that he looked like a newborn giraffe that had just stood up for the first time.
NEITHER of them wanted to fight and both were afraid of getting hit. They kind of danced around a bit and Manute threw these long ass telegraphed punches that look like they could not knock over a 3-year-old.
At more than one point in the fight, the refs/managers were screaming at the fighters, “If you don’t fight, you don’t get paid!!!” So weird. I was really looking forward to this matchup but it was, in all honesty, drawn out and BORING. Certainly the biggest let down of the series.
Ultimately, they awarded the win by judgment to Manute Bol.
There was a time that I liked Limp Bizkit. Never had any of the albums, but watched them on Total Request Live all the time. Ah yes, the dark ages of nu-metal. So glad I survived that trend.
You guys talking about Celebrity Boxing reminds me of when I liked Celebrity Deathmatch.
I have a very basic reason for disliking Limp Bizkit: I do not like their music and Fred Durst is a twat.
But I will admit something that might understandably get me beaten to death in a parking lot. I like their cover of The Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes”. I like it a lot. The descending synth sound during the chorus is excellent. It might be blasphemy but fuck you.

Oh goddamn,how could I forget the Fridge…holy shit that is right!!! That was so awkward and boring…can you remember any other matches,Gunnar? What do you think was the best fight of the series?
Fred Durst raps like Curly from the Three Stooges.
The more I think about it,I seem to remember Vanilla Ice fighting someone…don’t have time to look it up now…
I’m pretty sure there were only two episodes, but DAMN, what a show. Let me see what I can remember.
Greg Brady and Danny Bonnaduce
(Danny, predictably, took this crap way too seriously and went crazy prison style on poor Johnny Bravo, damn near killing him)
Joey Buttafuoco vs. Chyna (the big creepy mandyke wrestler)
Joey totally manhandled her and threw her to the ground a few times and fought like a dirty bitch, showing the world (again) what a piece of garbage he was. The judges awarded the fight to Joey, but probably should have disqualified him.
Tonya Harding vs. Paula Jones
This might have been my favorite fight. Tonya performed as expected . . . a brutal beast of a warbot, with switch turned on “KILL”. Paula cried and ran around the ring and hid behind the ref and eventually said she refused to go back in the ring. Yeah, Tonya won.
Vanilla Ice and Willis (Todd Bridges)
As I recall, this was likely the most “real” and legitimate of the bouts. This was also probably the only sort of fair match up in the entire series. Vanilla ultimately got beat by Todd, and Todd was the more trained of the two fighters.
i got into them at like 12-13 lol. looking back now i still like some of their songs. i’ve always really liked wes borland, and they have a really good drummer (john otto) and bass player (sam rivers).
if anyone is interested wes borland has his own industrial rock side band called black light burns. they have some pretty good tunes.

I thought Borland quit the bizkit. Is he back with them? Admittedly the only songs I know by them are blue eyes and nookie. Blue eyes was decent enough but nookie made me not wanna hear anything else by them.
Late,
grmpysmrf
some of you old guys here might not get it, but man… when i was growing up, i was about 9 when Limp Bizkit became the BIGGEST band in the world. Fred Durst’s eternally adolescent attitude and rhymes will forever be a part of that young period of my life. now of course i can pretend to be ‘os so much more artisitc’ than all that and talk about how much i love Jesu and Converge and Wolves in the Throne Room (god… i love Converge and Wolves in the Throne Room) but hot damn, i would be lying if i said that hearing Fred Durst doesnt make me wanna get up and dance.
sue me, i grew up under the influence. i rather love Limp Bizkit. haha.
