BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard on the radio this morning that they're reforming. Without Wes Borland. They're going to get a former Evanescence guitar player to take his place.

I really can only respond with: ...why? I could maybe see them having another go at it, as much as they suck, if Borland came back but with another guitar player? I mean, he's about the only thing they had going for them and now he's not even going to be in the band.

What blows my mind was that the radio DJs were happy the prospect.

People can say what they want but Significant Other is one of the standout albums of my teenage years

Why not? They can probably make quite a couple of bucks by reforming and using their old name which is allready known. They probably still have quite a few fans and a bunch of people might get their new stuff for nostalgic reasons. Many band reunions have been a success.

I wonder if they're assuming that since 80's metal became retro-chic sometime starting about five years ago, that their time to boomerang back around might be near at hand. These revival periods always get shorter and shorter, until we finally have what Frank Zappa called "death by nostalgia" when the revival period between the current time and the time being recalled shrinks to 0.

Enh. They weren't all that great as far as music goes, but at least at the time it sounded new and was fun. I think Henry Rollins summed up Limp Bizkit best... (paraphrasing) "They fucking suck! But if I was 16 years old I would be rocking my brains out to them."

P.S. I would take them any day of the week and twice on Sundays over the "emo" thing that is going on.

You haven't appreciated Limp Bizkit until you've done a 20+ standard drinks interpretive dance to "Rollin'".

Not really, there's been rap-rock combos before them that pulled it off with less screamy, whiny bullshit... Rage Against The Machine, Cypress Hill, Body Count, even Public Enemy or Biohazard if you're setting the bar no higher than Limp Bizkit. There's no significant difference between a nu-metal band and an emo band, lyrically speaking.

Cypress Hill? Rock?

Have you ever listened to the album "Skull & Bones"? That's as crossover as it gets, and waaaaaaaay better than Limp Bizkit at any rate. I don't know who played guitar on that album, but at least they knew how to keep from turning into a big farty mess the way Limp Bizkit insists on doing.

Wes Borland was the only good thing about Limp Bizkit. Fred Durst is a crying bitch with a baby dick, ( I saw the movie the douches that hacked T-Mobile put on the net). DJ Lethal doesn't even have the skill of Joe Hahn, which says a lot. The drummer and bass player are anonymous minions.

Yeah they had some good tracks, Break Stuff is good for a heavy work out, but that's about it. In short I'm more excited about the reformation of Boyzone (see not very).

I heard his solo album Big Dumb Face was interesting, but I can't think of a man who better embodies obnoxious guitar tone and hacky riffing than him, except possibly the pouters in Slipknot.

That's absolutely heinous. If any underground band ever tried that they'd be mobbed to death, but since they're on a major label they can hide away in their ivory tower. Nice one, you spineless shits.

Salm, didn't want you to think I was ignoring you; I'm out of town at the moment.

Anyhow, Tithonus and Lord Pounder have managed to sum up my thinking.
