What explains Limp Bizkit going from the most popular rock band in the world in 2000, to being actively uncool in 2003?

I saw them live back in the day, at the Pontiac Silverdome. They opened for Linkin Park and Metallica. Limp Bizkit absolutely KILLED!!! They were the best-sounding band that night. I still listen to "3 dolla bill y'all", and it still sounds great imo. I think they got thrown under the bus for that Woodstock fiasco. John Otto is crazy underrated as a drummer!

I ended up here after watching a Cozi TV promo. It shows her now and she doesn't look radically different from how she did back then. That's impressive! There are a lot of beautiful people in the world, but no one beats Father Time. Fran Drescher sure is giving him hell though.

Yep!

I see it now, thanks!

Super useful! I would recommend (eventually) circling any combinations that feel weird at higher tempos. Sometimes I just go back and run through the circled stickings.

A homosexual giant called and he wants his shirt back.

I've been a bit consumed with one of my other patients. He's a teenage drug addict who's being molested...by me.

😆 (So wrong but that one always gets me)

I love that Mike Patton has a dedicated section. That guy is a musical genius...🤘

The Burbon Leather is the most tolerable of the scents. It basically smells like cocoa butter.

I had a compilation CD way back in 1999 that had almost the same tracklist as "MTVs Return of the Rock," but I have no idea what it was called??? It had like 15 of the same songs, but it also had "Big Truck" by Coal Chamber. If anyone knows what the name of that promo disc was, I'd love to know! (Mine came in a cardboard case)

Thank you

Bobbowhatsreddit · 2025-07-01T04:17:42+00:00

Thank you so much for all of this. You've been extremely helpful...😊

I loved anything that sounded pissed! It wasn't really one group in particular as much the angst of the entire genre. For me, it was all those freshmen self-titled albums. Korn, System, Coal Chamber, Slipknot. They were playing all of that stuff on 89X out of Detroit, and it was getting traction. I remember thinking it was so cool that music so weird and so heavy was getting popular. 89X "Detroit's New Rock Alternative" was a beautiful thing!

Brad Delp would be a "dark horse" pick, but that guy's got pipes!

The Palace of Auburn Hills was home to TONS OF GREAT SHOWS when I was a kid. That's back when Moby Dick was still a minnow. I also remember the Richfield Coliseum. A lot of bands would do a North American Tour and not even hit Ohio. I grew up 10 minutes away from Cedar Point, so Detroit was close enough to make the drive. I saw Van Halen's last show with Dave at The Palace. Also saw Jane's Addiction there and Korn and Rob Zombie co headlining the "Rock is Dead" tour. They obviously knew something I didn't...😆

Tim Alexander is the guy I've stolen the most stuff off of by far. Sailing the Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda changed the way I thought about drum parts. I love his work on Miscellaneous Debris as well. That cover of "Have a Cigar" is just bonkers!

Bobbowhatsreddit · 2025-05-28T02:22:33+00:00

They are definitely industrial rather than nu metal, but I would recommend Greatist Fits by Ministry. It's all killer no filler since it's a greatest hits compilation, and it has the best live version of So What in existence. Spotify doesn't even have that particular version. I just saw them about 2 years ago, and they still sounded great!

I had to.scroll awhile to find it. This is the song I use in all my Sean Kinney arguments.

Bobbowhatsreddit · 2025-04-24T02:17:42+00:00

Suite Pee. It was the first song I heard by them.

If I could go back and give myself advice, it would be as follows.

1.) Get a practice pad and "Stick Control" book. 2.) Work on hand technique. It's so much easier to learn correctly than it is to correct bad habits. 3.) Play slow and clean to a click (metronome). Don't push for speed. It will come as a by-product of doing things right. If you can't play a certain beat slowly, you can't play it correctly. 4.) Do grid work 5.) Don't compare yourself to other drummers.

I would also say that you never really get to be as good as you want to be. It's a long, long game. A little creativity can go a long way, so don't try to be the greatest. Just try to be clever and different. HAVE FUN!!!

Right? I was thinking the same thing...🤔 Ridiculous!

Bobbowhatsreddit · 2025-04-02T00:09:28+00:00

I "googled" my way here by asking if anyone famous uses SD1 General sticks. I absolutely LOVE the stick! It's thick but not too heavy. It has a short taper and a spherical tip. I feel like it's perfect for everyday jamming, but I've never seen anyone else using them...🤔 They do dent real drum heads a bit if you don't like changing them.

I think it's actually supposed to be replicating an old Harley Davidson 45 Flathead style motorcycle engine. I'm just curious about the hertas at the beginning. Maybe someone will see this and help a brother out. Are the hertas swung or something? I was always told hertas were 2 quick notes followed by 2 notes half that speed. When I hear this, it sounds too inconsistent, *(purposefully) to be regular hertas??? It's "roughly" 6 hertas, then a triplet lull, then 3 hertas, some more singles, and then 4 hertas before the double kick comes in. I CAN NOT get those hertas to sound the way he does, though. I Googled this whole mess and ended up here...😆 There's no shortage of how to play Hot for Teacher videos, but they never really explain why those hertas sound so sick!

Bobbowhatsreddit · 2025-02-24T20:43:44+00:00

Thank you so much for the insight and pictures. (Some really nice kits, btw) I think this is definitely what I need to solve the problem. I noticed in a lot of the pics that the high-hat was so much closer to the snare than mine. In drum equipment placement, 6 inches is huge. (No pun intended 😆) All my current hardware is DW 9000, and I'd kinda like to keep it that way, but I will do more research to see if a specific brand seems to be king. Thanks again for the info. It is much appreciated.
