Remember Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit?
Sure you do and unfortunately for a lot of kids who grew up during the 90’s and early 2000’s their trash music is still somewhat imbedded in our heads to the point of us getting a little sick to our stomachs when some godforsaken radio station happens to play Nookie.
Anyways, they’re still around. Sorta and according to industry reports, they’re apparently trying to employee other musicians to write their new album for them which actually seems like a pretty good idea all things considered.
Yesterday, Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes appeared on BBC Radio 1 ‘Rock Show with Daniel P. Carter’ to discuss the bands new upcoming album Amp and also revealed that he along with bandmate Jordan Fish were hired to write the new yet to be released Limp Bizkit album.
Unfortunately it didn’t go very well… surprisingly.
Via Lambgoat:
“Last year, me and Jordan went and worked with Fred Durst on a Limp Bizkit album. It just didn’t work out to be honest. He just didn’t show up most of the time. Lovely guy, but I don’t think he was ready to make an album. I think he was pushed into it a bit, like, his managers and people said ‘these are the guys you want to work with.’ So we gave him all these ideas and I mean it was just bad from day one to be honest.”
Apparently though their ‘sessions’ with Durst weren’t a total waste of time though. Sykes made mention that the band’s newly released single “Wonderful Life,” came about from those Limp Bizkit suffer takes.
“It’s one of them things, looking back, where it wasn’t meant to be. One good thing came out of it: me and Jordan wrote this riff and I one day decided the tempo and key matched almost perfectly with the song. So we de-Bizkit’d it a bit, and it ended up sounding pretty sick.”
“De-Bizkit’d” LOL. It seems like that’s something a lot of us had to do coming out of the late 90’s to realize Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit were nothing but garbage.
