Limp Bizkit strive to be “addictive”
It’s been 10 years, almost to the day, since Limp Bizkit owned the music industry. Think that’s a stretch? It really isn’t. It was 1999, months before the purported Armageddon and teenagers were all New York Yankees fans, screaming about getting the proverbial “Nookie” and their incessant need to “Break Stuff”. Needless to say, some people had every reason to believe the world was about to end. With the former nu-metal band recently reunited, 2010 might be just as damning, and according to frontman Fred Durst, he’s ready to party like it’s 1999.
“This isn’t a reunion, this is a comeback,” Durst told BBC Newsbeat, shortly after performing at Download ‘09. “We’re here to take it back and to sit on top of the mountain again.”
Earlier this year, the band re-emerged with its complete, original line up and started leaking videos online of them sound checking former hits. It stirred quite the buzz, especially since guitarist Wes Borland appeared quite adamant to be involved. If you recall, Borland’s been in and out of the group, having rejoined for 2006’s abysmal The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) and exiting stage left shortly after. Durst admits he didn’t see the reunion possible at all, but assures the years apart have only made them stronger: “”Each member of the band became quite the expert at their instrument. We’re more finely tuned than ever.”
Sound checking isn’t the only thing they’ve been doing, however. There’s a new album on the horizon, and it could surface as early as November or December. “We’re getting together our demos right now and we’re going to go in and record them,” Durst explained. “I’m having a great feeling about going in and doing our record, more than I have about any of our albums before. It’s not going to be a watered down version of Limp Bizkit, it’s going to be a more explosive, more addictive, more driven version of Limp Bizkit.”
Well, we know what will be on everyone’s lists for Santa this year: the new Limp album or a standard nuclear bomb shelter. Because everyone knows Durst gets his way, or it’s simply the highway. Oh, we could go on forever.

Re: David’s post
Yeah. With a shotgun.
I’m with the guy who says this is terrible news! They are from where I live, too….so double oh no!
I found “Break Stuff” to be amusing to listen to while driving but other than that….Wes Borland is pretty cool. I recently saw Black Light Burns and I really enjoyed it.
In all honesty, at the very least Fred always did know how to handle a crowd.
they sounds pretty good…. Fred’s vocals are a little fucked, but Wes seems really into it…. dont forget about their concert in Vegas July 10th!
agree, and agree, id definitely check them out if they were at another fest or show i was interested in, definitely went through a limp faze long long ago
as much as i agree i’d probably pay $20 or less to go see them…
They sound really good. Don’t you guys fucking hate, accept it.
well this is just terrible news.
