    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.

    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.

      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)

      I think the biggest mistake is taking limp bizkit seriously, they don’t even take themselves seriously

      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.
