MrRant 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2004 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Limp Bizkit, which suffered slow sales of its long-awaited new album, has been named worst band of the year by readers of Guitar World magazine. Creed, another act that draws sharp reactions, came in at No. 2 even though the Christian combo took the year off. New York rockers the Strokes were No. 3, followed by "all pop-punk bands" at No. 4 and pop-punk band Good Charlotte at No. 5. Limp Bizkit's "Results May Vary" has sold one million copies after 13 weeks, and ranks No. 64 on the U.S. pop charts. Its previous release, 2000's Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water," ranked No. 5 after 13 weeks with sales of four million copies. Metallica (news - web sites)'s poor-selling new album, "St. Anger," was named biggest disappointment, but it also came in at No. 2 as the best metal album, ranking behind Black Label Society's "The Blessed Hellride." Metallica's Kirk Hammett was named best metal guitarist, a possible consolation prize for having all his solos cut from "St. Anger," and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl was named best rock guitarist, notwithstanding his initial claim to fame as the drummer with defunct rock band Nirvana. Another long-gone band, Led Zeppelin, released the best rock album of 2003, the 3-CD live package "How the West Was Won," according to Guitar World readers. That category was rounded out by Audioslave's self-titled debut, the White Stripes' "Elephant," Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Vicious Cycle" and Rush's "Rock in Rio." The other big disappointments of the year were listed as "all new music," the break-up of Texas metal veterans Pantera, the continued absence of a new Guns 'N Roses album, and Marcos Curiel's departure from Christian rock band P.O.D.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2004 Guitar World readers tend to be right on the money with the "What bands sucked" category, but everything else is usually crap (sorry, but St. Anger is an abomination to music PERIOD; not just rock, not just metal, but to ALL of music; the worst album I've heard this year, by far). But hey, BLS is getting some fucking recognition, so it's not ALL bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blind hate'd be better than looking at that and the rest of the crap-pretentious vom Creed has spewed up over the past few years. Now, I don't know why they're the worst band of this year. They kept a pretty low profile throughout 2003. I'd probably hand it to Good Charlotte myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UYI Hasn't Britney's new album sold 1.5 million already? Plus a hit on the radio and MTV? Doesn't sound like her career has fallen much unlike Fred Durst. Well the reality is that both Britney and Durst's newer albums aren't going to sell close to what their older ones did. Though you can't really call Limp Bizkit a failure yet either as their new one has already sold over 1 million, which most bands would kill for. For example, Anthrax released a great album this year but last I know it had sold 50,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2004 He better not have. I need my studio version of The Blues...and I need it...eventually! Chinese Democracy (the track) rocked hard live...but I don't think it'll make a good studio song. Madagascar will probably sound the same either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted January 4, 2004 That's just bullshit... How does Creed get on this list dispite not even touring or doing ANYTHING other then Stapp playing Poker on Bravo or hanging out with Edge? I still contend that Creed gave a Better concert performence then Kiss and Aerosmith, two supposedly great live acts. Limp Bizkit? Hell Yes. Good Charlotte is worst if only for that fucking HORRIBLE suicide is bad song that's currently on rotation... Fucking Idiot Kids...You want REAL emotion about Suicide? Don't look for it in Good Charlotte...because all that does is make you want to off yourself. P.S: Is it me or does Stapp look like Benoit with Long hair?
