Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2004 Leave Limp Bizkit to the 15 year old kids who think they hate their parents. Inevitably, the loud guitars and screaming vocals will somehow lead them to entry level metal bands (perhaps even Metallica or Megadeth types). Most likely the ones from the scenes eminating out of the northeast that have tons of CORE. From there, I imagine that at a show or party, these kids will hear a band with no core, but maybe a bit of DEATH...thusly they will be lead down the path of generally superior music. If we're lucky, they will then take it upon themselves to search out older bands of their chosen METAL genre. Of course, this then puts them on the trail of other great bands and genres. Natural evolution I figure. Pure musical bliss results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted August 18, 2004 No they won't, they'll listen to Slipknot, the black album, and Godsmack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1234-5678 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2004 Slipknot? I could never even try to listen to a group I heard eats turds on stage. Gimmicks like them, ICP, and Kiss just never appealed to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2004 Slipknot? I could never even try to listen to a group I heard eats turds on stage. Gimmicks like them, ICP, and Kiss just never appealed to me. I don't hate all gimmicks. There are bands with gimmicks that I actually like--The Hives with their all black outfits and white ties and shoes, 2 Skinnee J's wore Mork and Mindy outfits with golden bowls on their heads from '97-'00, and Static-X's lead singer's electric-shock hair. I only liked Static-X's debut record, however. But when your gimmick is about negativity or how fucked up the world is (Slipknot, ICP, Marilyn Manson), then I hate you.

If you must piss all over my utopian fantasy, just let me say that I'd prefer kids roaming around screaming "If you're 555 then I'm 666" or "Eeeeenterrrr Niiight" or some Godsmack line that I don't remember at the moment.

St. Gabe 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 I have a problem with Limp Bizkit, especially Fred Durst... Of course that could be because he played 3 songs in Chicago before calling us "Cum-Guzzling Whores" Sure, some guy threw a lemon at him and hit him in the nuts, but still..
