Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted August 18, 2004 Report 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.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 No they won't, they'll listen to Slipknot, the black album, and Godsmack.
1234-5678 Posted August 18, 2004 Author Report 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.
Skywarp! Posted August 18, 2004 Report 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.
Guest El Satanico Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Gimmicks like Kiss just never appealed to me. Oh yeah because Kiss is such an extreme band...please they're an overblown Ballad band Nile has a good gimmick

Black Lushus Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 doesn't their popularity go down a tad whenever they go without the makeup and leather gear? if so, they're a gimmick band...
The Ill One Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Yes! Yes! Yes! Now they can be rollin' their way back to Hall of Fame history because LB IS FUCKIN' KEWL!
The Czech Republic Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Limp Bizkit sucked without Wes They sucked with him too
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 No they won't, they'll listen to Slipknot, the black album, and Godsmack. 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.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 I bet that idiot couldn't even name three songs by the Smiths. -Ben LOOOOOOOOVE, LOOOOOOOOOVE WILL TEAR US APAAAAAAART AGAAAAAAIN
Guest SP-1 Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Now GWAR has a good gimmick. Beavis and BUTT-Head agree.
Guest Jdogfour20 Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 GWAR had the best gimmick of all time

And yes, at one point in time, GWAR had the best gimmick, then The Polyphonic Spree came along, and owned their asses.

Slayer Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 Shrimp Bizkit had a gimmick? Unless the gimmick was just being a horrible fucking band, I don't see it
Giuseppe Zangara Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 Speaking of GWAR, I still enjoy "The Road Behind" just as much as I did when I was 13.
St. Gabe Posted August 21, 2004 Report 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.. (go ahead, close yur eyes and visualize that, it's good fun)
JangoFett4Hire Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 And yes, at one point in time, GWAR had the best gimmick, then The Polyphonic Spree came along, and owned their asses. No more posting for you! I saw these guys last Wednesday. Fun show.
Guest Basswitch Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Sux for that mike guy.. I bet he knew it was only temporary though. Even though fred did make it seem like the kid had something wrong with him.
Vyce Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 On that note, you can assume that the sh-- we are writing now is f---ing powerful and very emotionally laced with reality..." Waitaminute ... the new "shit" is both powerful AND emotionally laced with reality?!? How could I not want to hear it now???. Thanks a bunch, Incan. Now I have to go burn all of my Smiths albums.
