I just heard them doing a dreadful cover of "Faith" by Wham!. This caused me to wonder why Limp Bizkit exists.

Did Wham! reunite and do a cover of "Faith"?

Dude, George Michael is Wham!. Most people don't even know Andrew Ridgely's name.

My thoughts as well. Odd thread. Can't wait til JORR discovers Korn!

I apologize. My familiarity with the Limp Bizkit catalog is limited to "Nookie" and that other song that I don't know the name of, maybe "Rearrange"? Still, the question remains, why did/does this band exist?

I was really jaded for a while back in the late 90s. I couldn't understand why Limp Bizkit was big. It affected me – I didn't want to play music. I thought, if this is the way that music's going, then f__k this, I hate it.

They get a lifetime pass for “My Way” being the song for The Rock/Stone Cold WM 17 promo video, possibly the best promo package WWE ever put together.

Is it a cover of Sinatra's "My Way"?

He deserves credit for his solo career and Wham.

I am suprised the current red hat contingency hasn't resulted in some kind of Limp Bizkit revival.

Nookie and Rollin’ are stupid fun. I’d never claim they were a good band, but if you’re in the right mood some stuff is listenable.

20th Anniversary tomorrow.

I'm just happy to have been alive during the time when Limp Bizkit was perfect for the weird time period where virtually all music was pop music from rap to country to rock mostly because of TRL. No one will understand how you could rock out to Britney Spears, then Korn, then Christina Aguilera, Jay-Z, Eminem, and then for like a week Tom Green all in the span of an hour all the while Carson Daly was wearing black fingernail paint because he was a Goth or something but he still dressed normally.

1997 was a damn fun year. I remember pretty vividly when 3 Dollar Bill, Ya'll came out.

was living at 212 N. Racine in a VERY different Fulton Market area.

This thread is great.

I just can't wrap my head around the fact that a guy like JOrr-- who knows his music and has been in and out of bands for as long as I've been alive-- had never heard 'Faith' by Limp Bizkit until just a couple hours ago.


Tomorrow he will probably start a thread to let us know that Sean "Puffy" Combs ripped off The Police in his Biggie Smalls tribute song.

Nookie was cool. The cover of Faith was cool. They weren't that great, but Durst did give us the infamous dedication to Scott Stapp (starts 6:02)

Fred Durst is the biggest bitch on the planet. The instrumentalists of the band are actually pretty talented, though. Seeing them get booed off stage when they were opening for Metallica is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

You're right. 1999-2000 was the last gasp for that kind of something-for-everyone pop music landscape. That being said, I was somehow able to bounce between Amber, the Goo Goo Dolls, Eminem, Santana featuring Rob Thomas, and the Bloodhound Gang without ever getting to Limp Bizkit. I'm not proud of everything I liked in middle school, but even then I knew Limp Bizkit was for meatheads.

uh, yeah...they had song called "break stuff."

what made them interesting for musicians, was basically Wes Borland's guitar work. That fact can't be overlooked.
