1234-5678 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2004 Borland thought Limp Bizkit was "selling out"... It's been 3 years since Wes Borland left Limp Bizkit, but he has reunited with his former bandmates, and is working on a new album with them. Now that Borland is back, his replacement, Mike Smith has left the band. "We are very content with Mike being gone," Durst told the Limp Bizkit fan site, www.thearmpit.net, in an interview posted Sunday. "We are the type of people that stay true to our family and our instincts and at any moment will act on intuition as a whole. Mike wasn't the guy. We had fun playing with him, but always knew, in the back of our minds, that he wasn't where we needed him to be mentally. On that note, you can assume that the sh-- we are writing now is f---ing powerful and very emotionally laced with reality..." Credit: MTV.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted August 17, 2004 You fool! The lyric is "I'm a crack addict...yeah I'm a crack addict...I'm addicted to cracking skulls SO DON'T START STATIC" It's poetry and you raped it. God dammit, itt revolutionized the world and you don't even know the damn lyric. Let's all go download their version of Behind Blue Eyes and listen to music in it's purest form. Yes.

Mole 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2004 Do people still listen to them? I used to be a big fan and then I got into jam bands a lot so I stopped listening. A few months ago I listened to "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" and I can't believe I liked it. By Gawd, it was horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nanks Report post Posted August 17, 2004 Shit, I'm going to have to listen to them again now. Why couldn't he team up with a new band that doesn't have an insufferable tool of a lead singer?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skullman80 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2004 They were terrible with Les in the band(although he was the only redeeming value), and they were terrible without him... Limp Bizkit is one of the most worthless, untalented bands in exsistense...IMO.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2004 To be fair, the singles I heard with Mike were a lot less listenable, if you can believe that, which makes me wonder how it could have been night and day with that guy--the Snot album had some good guitar work in it.

Snot's album did have some good guitar work on it and it did have a Mike, but it wasn't the same Mike. Mike Smith and Mikey Doling are 2 different people, I believe Mike Smith (the guy in Limp Bizkit) was just a live guitarist after one of the previous ones left the fold. Mikey Doling was doing time in Soulfly trying to write decent riffs while Max Cavalera stuck guest appearances all over everything. So yeah, unless I'm totally wrong (which is VERY possible), Smith never wrote anything on the first Snot album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
