[edit] New song?

An untitled acoustic song has been circulating torrent websites. It is undeniably Fred Durst, who doesn't appear to like the song, saying "That was shit" at the end. Does anyone know if this is an old demo or a brand new track?

[edit] Controversy

Any thoughts about adding a summary of this under a "Controversy" heading, or something similar?

-Some random newb.


In my hometown of Vegas, Limp Bizkit was boycotted for cancelling their Vegas shows 3 times and is banned from radio airplay which happened in 2004, maybe someone should add this?

Under the Significant Other controversies, I'm removing the last "sentence" of the first paragraph,

Consequently, the music video for the band's single "Re-Arranged".

because it's not a complete thought. If somebody wants to expand on it and put it back, go ahead. Daedae (talk) 15:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup and suggestions

General Cleanup (and future suggestions)

Deleted some unsourced, possibly libelous comments, and cleaned up the article until the "Results may vary" section:

the other major issue I have with these sections:

1)seeming contradiction... did Wes rejoin the band before or after they started driving to Los Angeles?... also a clarification or source would be nice for "after working out his personal issues"

if you feel I went too far in these edits please at least clean up the language or provide sources, thank you.Jjchong 15:27, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

The intro to the article is WAAAAAY too long. You should be able to see the TOC when the page loads. --Velvet elvis81 05:42, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Refs?

Why does the reference cited as showing Limp Bizkit were one of the first new metal bands go to a page which mentions Korn and the Deftones, but not Limp Bizkit? (This is the first ref on the page.) Might change back to "citation needed" unless someone has something better to use. Random name 01:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Changed - anyone have a cite for this? Random name 10:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Poop DVD

In the back of the Significant Other booklet, it says Cming Soon The Limp Bizkit DVD Poop.

[edit] August Release

Can somboy Please give a link to the interview where Durst says all that stuff about the RATM comback tour and all.Jimmypop1994 21:16, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] They are noteworthy for mentioning the name of the band in every song in order to generate more album sales from radio airplay.

This is false as they do not mention thier name in every song only in an few and unless you can verfiy the album sales from mention of name to increased airplay this information will be removed.TG 50 20:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

If someone could find a cite indicating this was done deliberately (even if not continuously) I'd like to see it, mostly because it sounds like an interesting article to read. Random name 21:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Someone changed it to take out "every" song, which I will accept. I would even accept "all songs released as singles." I don't think the point that they include their name to generate album sales is debatable.

This is not true al singles do not have the name such as "Faith" "Nookie" "Break Stuff" "My Way" "Bolier" "Eat You Alive" "Churshed". The only ones that do are "Counterfeit" "N 2 Gether Now" "My Generattion" "Rollin" (Air Raid Vechile) and "Behind Ble Eyes" futhrmore The Unquestionable Truth does not mention the bands name in any of the songs.There is no source they did this and I have never done that you have no prove and you probally have only heard the singles from Chocolate Starfish and Significant Other and think you have heard every Limp Bizkit song if you add it again unless can verfiy it it will be removed.TG 50 17:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC

Do you mean "proof," fanboy? You keep removing it, I'll keep adding it. I'm right, and you're trying to apologize for a crappy band that has been polluting the airwaves since they ripped off George Michael.

In Wiki you have to be able to source something if another user or users disagree to make sure it is a a accurate statement. Since you have no proof of this i will remove the information unless you verfiy a relaible source that the band indeed do this. Your or own views on the band is not a relabile source. To me you are just a hater who has come up with a idea about Limp Bizkit to generate more negative press about the band and have made up your mind you are right and can't even give me or anyone else proof that LB did this so I could help but read your little polluting airwaves statement and thought i leave you with a excerpt of "Pollution" by Limp Bizkit on thier 1997 debut ablum Three Dollar Bill Y'all [chorus] When do you decide (you decide) Then you can know in your mind (you decide) When do you decide I’ll probably never understand Pollution, you preach the noise about the words that you don’t wanna hear Pollution, I keep the grip tight on the mic when I spill Pollution, you preach the noise about the words that you don’t wanna hear Pollution, I keep that grip real tight thank you TG 50 13:14, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rateyourmusic.com

Limp Bizkit have more albums in the Bottom 100 at influential website rateyourmusic.com than any other aritst, with six. Also, "New Old Songs" is at #2, and "Results May Vary" is at #5, so they also have the most albums in the Bottom 5. Might be worth mentioning, at least as evidence that their popularity has seriously declined.

No because ratings at rate your music change too often, for example unquestionble truth was in the top 100 worst, now its not Portillo (talk) 22:47, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Umm what the hell? Where did Results May Vary go?

Okay, I know not many people liked the album (i did though), but come on, the section for it has been missing since the 23rd. Please do something about it and make sure it doesnt happen again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kornography (talk • contribs) 20:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me people, but results May Vary is STILL MISSING from the article. Will you people please adress this situation acordingly.--Kornography (talk) 13:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


Yeah, I was going to say... I know a lot of people didn't like Results May Vary, but totally deleting the section from the article? That's unnecessary. Can someone put it back? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.109.26.19 (talk) 19:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, honestly, this is getting absurd. This section has been missing forever and still hasn't been addressed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.75.192.159 (talk) 19:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for re-adding Results May Vary, Make sure it doesnt happen again :-) --Kornography (talk) 14:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

No Problem, its a shame an admin never stepped in. Music&&Power.. (talk) 19:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Uhhhhhh...

The Unquestionable Truth part Two is totally gone! It says its because it apparently isnt important and some people dont believe it will be released...Well apparently more info has appeared about three six mafia and those pictures from a few months ago. Obviously they are working on it now. So please re-add TUT(Prt2). There are alot less significant upcoming albums that dont deserve an article than this.--Kornography (talk) 21:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture with Wes

I think a picture with Wes woulld work better than Mike Smith since he was only in the band for one album and most people know Limp with Wes Borland.TG 50 (talk) 19:15, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
