I was playing around on YouTube today, watching some guy play a version of GTA V where you can play as a police officer, and on the little sidebar was a Limp Bizkit video for "Rollin".
Fred Durst reminds me of Scumbag Steve in the worst kind of way.
I hadn't heard the song for ages, so I gave it a quick listen. It was kind of hilarious how epic 90's music videos and yet kind of catchy at the same time.
Anyway just thought I'd put out a feeler and see if we have any current/former Bizkit fans on the board.
(P.S.) - I'll make the poll private so you don't have to worry about being judged by the CP brain trust if you ever were a fan. [Reply]

These days I stick to mostly classic rock, blues, jazz, and easy listening. Did a 180 of sorts lol.
That happens with every genre of music eventually. [Reply]
I never got into them. Overall, I wasn’t a fan of Nu Metal (or whatever it was categorized as).
The only band that fell into that category that I was was really into was Sevendust.
I saw them open for Megadeth in Fresno back in like 99. They ****ing killed it, I had never even heard of them and they weren’t even on the radio yet. I wasn’t even going to watch the opener, I was in line for beer and just shooting the breeze with my buddy, and after a while of them playing , we both sort of stopped our conversation and at the same time were like “dude....what is that....that’s awesome”. And rushed back to see the stage
They were better than. Megadeth that day. In terms of sound, and energy. Hands down. Megadeth mailed it in at that particular concert. They barely even moved around on stage.
Haven’t listened to them in years though.
I think the musicianship of Limp Bizkit is impressive. I just don’t care for Durst as a front man. So it sort of ruins it a tad for me. [Reply]
I think they came out and opened with Bitch. Can’t remember the exact name. It started a bit slow. Crowd was sort of all “ok....what is this”. Then they came in strong. And by about song number 3the entire crowd was packed and were just into it. They came out , then BAM...balls to the wall energy the rest of the time. Bought the CD the next day lol.
Holy shit.....that was twenty fucking years ago. JFC [Reply]
Unfortunately I really liked "Nookie." I didn't really care that much for their other songs. I think I downloaded "Break Stuff" from Napster. Didn't really care for "Rollin'," except for when Scott Rolen used it as his walkup music. [Reply]
I liked My Way or the Highway only because it went along great with The Rock vs Stone Cold WM17 promo. Sorry cant embed but some of you have probably watched this..its the best WWF promo of all time.

Strength through unity was an awesome EP but then his voice went to shit. It was like someone gave a kid with Down's and Tourettes Syndromes meth, handed him a microphone, and said "sing about friends, the hardcore scene, and about how tough you are." I wanted to like them but his voice ruined what was otherwise fantastic music [Reply]
