Fred Durst is is unfairly hated on for essentially no real reason, he's a national treasure.
Love you, Freddy D.
(He has gone out of his way in various contexts to set up bands and independent film makers with the necessarily resources and connections to make their art, say what you will about the guy's behavior at times but he seems to genuinely want to help other creatives have a space to be given a chance to shine.)
(Yes I realize I'm low key stanning Fred Durst here)
Well, I can’t argue with you because I’ve known better than to ever have listened to any of their lyrics, but I maintain my stance that I don’t like them just based on having to have heard them from douchebags blasting their music from the cars passing by over the years
I saw Limp Bizkit and Cypress Hill at a free show around 2000. Everyone, EVERYONE was there for Cypress Hill. When LB played they were booed thoroughly. At one point, for some reason, Durst decided to crowd surf. He returned to the stage with no shoes and no hat, cursed at the crowd, and stormed offstage. After a few minutes of confusion “Hits From The Bong” started, Cypress Hill took the stage and started hitting an 8 foot bong, while performing. Order was restored.
I liked RATM for a while before I really noticed what their music was about. Insane to me in retrospect, as there’s nothing subtle about their message.
I was really worried that this was going to end with "I don't like them because they got political" and I'm glad it didn't.
I wish I could say that it was just a meme, but I've literally had conversations where I have had to ask some brainless chud what machine he thought they were raging against, or what forces they thought might have been the ones burning crosses.

It’s true. He did. Only a few bars later he even predicted covid:
“No contact. And if you interact. Your life is on contract.”

And right in the next line they predicted the deterioration of the US as a travel destination.
"Your best bet is to stay away, motherfucker".
Things are so dire LB lyrics started to make sense.

Yeah, well, maybe, but there’s no forgiving him for LINKIN PARK

Yes, clearly he should have kept making music with Black Sabbath and The Rolling Stones
(I forgot to keep it silly, my bad dude)

of course! as I once heard him say (paraphrasing) "we picked up where RATM left" xD

I love Wes, but I don't think any music he made outside of LB was good. Blacklight Burns, maybe. Big Dumb Face was an art pieces for sure.
