Alt Text: an image of Agent Smith from The Matrix with the following text superimposed, “1999 was described as being the peak of human civilization in ‘The Matrix’ and I laughed because that obviously wouldn’t age well and then the next 25 years happened and I realized that yeah maybe the machines had a point.”
We had passed the peak. Limp Bizkit was already popular. Every dude I know that loved that band is now a middle aged incel.
God,
thought they were cool.
haven’t heard of them in decades, not until the new Devil May Cry in netflix. enjoyed the nostalgia.
now I’m afraid I’ve become a middle aged incel.
someone put me down before it gets worse, why am I suddenly interested in starting a podcast?
There are better quality versions but you might like this episode of Lucas Bros Moving Co.

Checks out. I lived through those times and see the same trend. Fuck that band was intolerable.
Fred Durst isn’t a bad singer, he did a pretty good cover of behind blue eyes. Looking at reviews it wasn’t super popular but I thought it was decent.
Durst is a phenominal hardcore vocalist and I’ve been on this kick for decades.
“Pollution” off their first record.
Quick, fast, he enunciates enough through vocal fries and you can still make him out through the chorus. His clean vocals work for their slower, hazier tracks.
Is he the best? lol, no, that’s Corey Brandan from Norma Jean.
The only problem is that they became a NuMetal band instead of a hardcore metal band, but that’s more me being selfish for my own taste. I still like Limp. They make fun metal and they’re good at it.
I disagree wholeheartedly. Have you listened to the original song? Because that’s also what I thought before hearing the original and honestly they’re not even close.
I feel like they used a lot of help from ProTools to make him some better on that one, though. Since there want really auto tune back then.
There absolutely was autotune back then. Cher’s Believe was the song that kickstarted the plugin’s popularity and that song came out in 1998. Autotune itself came out the year before.
