Limp Bizkit Version?!

[Before I Pine Away]

I have just had the misfortune of hearing Limp Bizkit doing a live cover of Opiate! I can honestly say I feel rather sick after experiencing that. Has anyone else heard this? Or is this simply nothing new, and been discussed in the past? I am certain that Tool, and Maynard in particular would be pretty upset about the fact that a gimp like Fred Durst has performed Opiate. I'm surprised it didnt have scratching over it. Apologies if I am the last Tool fan around to know about this, just reasonably upset about it.

Fred Durst needs to crucify his ego, and embrace his outer adult.

[maggie72]

I've never heard it. Do you have a link?

I don't know if it's the whole thing... I could only stomach the first 30 seconds.

[opiated]

I don't even think Durst can even wrap his head around one line of the song.

[morethanmusic]

i haven't watched past the first minute of that video. It made me want to fornicate with a cheese grater, and then dip my bloodied shaft into a vat of lemon juice, in order to get my mind off of the pain that had been inflicted on my body after hearing FRED DURST faux-scream-yell-thing "LIKE ME!" yuk

mtm

[Before I Pine Away]

I'm glad People are feeling my pain. It is truly pathetic. Fuck I hate Limp Bizkit. I'm sure there is someone out there who wears a cap sideways that likes it.

[mjkajdcjc]

I can't believe that Limp Bizkit fans like Tool...

Fuck, Tool sucks.

[flawlessme]

I'm in shock! That was horrible. The arrangement was terrible and listening to Fred Durst sing just makes you realise just how great Maynard is. Damn.

[weathermantom]

I can't believe that Limp Bizkit fans like Tool...

Fuck, Tool sucks.

Yeah...I think those are all the radio fans....Or, you know, just the Sober fans.

[TEST]

I am guessing that they made the cover cuz maynard sayd that they suck...

i can't hear that "limp bizkit's in the house BullSh!t" anymore...

[rogerdoger]

Jesus, I just had to listen to Opiate like 10 times to reassure myself it's not really that bad.

[TWENTY-THREE]

Now that I've seen/heard that video, I have to cut off my ears.

yea...its really bad, fred durst is fucking pathetic

[Yoxodo]

Jesus fucking Christ of all that is holy, that is the most pathetic fucking thing I have seen in my life...due to that there is currently blood running out of my ears.

[oualt-edu]

that was absolutely gross, there is no reason for that, i think i would rather listen to clay aiken sing about her panty carpet or whatever it is she sings about, is limp bisquick still around?

[Louis_116206]

yeah erm... excuse me whilst i go and get a blender to put myself in so i never have to experience the torture of fred dursts rediculous voice attempting to sing in the shadow of naynards greatness. that sounds like a cat being strangles with a car jack... i never knew limp bizkit were THAT BAD!?!?!

[PriceisRight]

maynard should cover nookie and rock it

[TurdEye13]

If you have never heard the Limp version, don't.

[XeuphoricXmindX]

what is this world comming to... i mean seriously.

[There is no spoon]

This is by far the worst piece of live concert I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen Andrew W.K. perform.

[XeuphoricXmindX]

lmao!! psh amdrew...

[Alex in Chains]

There was a great interview a couple years ago where Maynard delivered probably his greatest quote. Fred Durst has said many times that he thinks Tool is the best band in the world, and Maynard et al have blasted Limp Bizkit in the past. So when the interviewer asked Maynard how he felt about Limp Bizkit being such big Tool fans, he said something along the lines of "It's like finding out the lunchlady has a crush on you. It's sort of flattering, but it's not like you're going to fuck the lunchlady."

Sorry for the paraphrase; I don't remember it verbatim.

[There is no spoon]

Fred Durst is a retard.

[fretforyourfigure462]

If you have never heard the Limp version, don't.



Guess I should click exit on that download then...

[There is no spoon]

No wonder why the guitar player quit. I would quit too if Fred kept on doing shitty impersonations. Well, actually he does in impersontion of a fuckin moron every time he gets on stage. Wait, that might not be an impersonation.

[vesicapiscis]

Come on guys. I think it sounds great. Are your speakers broke or something?

Now I know why you want to hate me. I did it all for the nookie. So you can take that cookie and lick inside ass.

WHAT A JOKER LOL!!!!!!11

[_colin_]

this saddens me

[3rd Libra]

I think Maynard said: "accepting praise from him is like taking financial advice from the lunchlady just because she won the lottery."

[NoFeelings]

Durst isnt the 1st to do a cover of a tool song and he wont be the last prolly and unfortunately.But the man abuses the song.Literally .-

the guitarist was actually good...he was asked in a guitar magazine interview why he wore the mask...he said it's cause he was ashamed of the band he was in.

woah link?

[Cooly]

Me too. Fred needs to be violently murdered and die very, very, slowly and painfully. Can't they like sue or some shit? And how do the dickwads that listen to limp bizkit even start to comprehend the magic of tool.

[PriceisRight]

woah link?

i'll see if i can find it

[PriceisRight]

ok..heres the link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_Borland

read the early years section..you'll see it

[weathermantom]

Actually, if you close your eyes and kind of lean back and relax, it sounds just like Maynard.

[TurdEye13]

ok..heres the link

that's hilarious

[NowisMytimE]

I... just clicked the YouTube link, and watched the Opiate cover, and - well, I watched it again.. then once more. I sat still for a moment, and, well I watched it again. Once more I sat, very still, as I watched it, yet again.. Thru the tears that I shed, I forced myself to listen to it, and watch it one more time.
Upon many minutes, of refelction, I found my self, questioning everything there is to know about me, and my life... My sexualaity, my, purpose, my existence, my connection I felt had with Tool.. with the band, with all of you..I watched the video again, this time in disgust.. and realized that.. if this is, the inspiration Tool exudes, could it possibly be that I too.. sound this fucking retarded, this fucking pathetic.. is my vpice that terrible when I sing (or try to) Tool out loud? I truly feel less human, less mortal, less, alive... after watching this.. im so sad.. I really dont know what to do with my life now..

[mr. nikki jensen]

limp bizhit sucked at the cover....

[orcaloverbri9]

Aren't you all overreacting?

Honestly, it was just a shitty cover. They didn't even do the whole song. And frankly, I've heard worse. Exaggeration is useful, but when you say you'd rather listen to Clay Aiken than a Tool song by a rock band with at least a couple catchy songs, you're taking it too far. At least he had the courtesy not to try and sing it like Maynard does. All that video did to me was amuse me and make me more sure that Tool has an absolutely amazing lineup.

Besides, Fred Durst is an idiot.

[O.G.T.92]

It's like watching the south park movie, in that it's a parody of itself LOL

[mr. nikki jensen]

i kinda like the way that staind covers sober. its okay.

[Vulneris]

what a fucking insult.....how can you exploit tool like that with that pipsqueak retard band....disgusting

[sam905]

i havent heard it but just the thought of someone like that butchering such a good song drives me crazy, i seriously hope that someone will correct this travesty with a decent cover

[The Face]

It's 13:25pm on a Friday. I just got out of bed about a half-hour ago and hit the power button on my laptop. Signing into MSN Messenger and Skype, i began chatting to a mate about the Necrophagist show we foolishly coughed out £11 for last Thursday. Browsing the toolshed.down.net forums, i eventually came across a thread titled 'Limp Bizkit Version?!' and felt compelled to investigate further. Scrolling down, i clicked the link to Youtube and paused for a moment as the video loaded up. 12 seconds in i began to feel my temples burning up. I panicked and gripped the desk surface so firmly i could have torn it right off the base. I could feel myself violently rocking from side to side as i began to drift in and out of conciousness. In hindsight it's clear that i was no longer in control of my person. The experience was merciless - a pain comparable to the sensation of immolating oneself whilst trapped in a pit of rusty needles. From thereon, the line between reality and unreality became blurred. I became aware of the prescence of a million or so spiky demons, each one hellbent on annialating me in as slowly and painful manner as possible. Coordination had become irrelevent - i was unable to comprehend the concept of gravity or any other force, only fear. Suddenly the demons dispersed and i found myself in a bleak cell of sorts, overwhelmed by the stagnating smell that can only be described as that of stillborn discharge. Having lost all faith in humanity and realising the insignificance of life, the room rapidly began to rotate, knocking me to the ground. Blood was seeping from the cracks in the walls and filling the room at an alarming rate. Too petrified to stand, i lay static - awaiting the inevitable. As my nose and mouth became engulfed in the mystery claret, i took a deep breath, inhaling the thick and bitter fluid into my lungs. I opened my eyes and found myself splayed out on the floor of my bedroom. Hands covered in blood, i noticed the vomited painted wall to my right. With tears streaming from my eye and struggling to catch my breath, i stumbled into bed once again and fell unconcious.

This experience has truly changed my perspective on 'life' for the worse. No longer can i take for granted those minor details; from the cool sensation of a freshly turned pillow to the memories of that summer - windows down and volume up. I feel depressed. Nothing is as it was previously. The voices of students outside my window fill me with a disturbing hybrid of jealousy and hate. I'm not the same person and am not even sure if i'm one at all.

[tapte]

yeah fred durst has no talent i think wes borland is a talented guitarist but thats all limp has or had . but the fact is fred always does covers of songs that he should have never touched.for example i had the misfortune of being dragged to a korn/limp bizkit show by an ex and limp did covers of nirvana's you know your right and here is the kicker he also did 50 cent in the club.and now to hear he did tool well I am in a state of shock right now

omg i dont even know what to say...that was fu*kin horrible...Limp Bizkit is soo fu*kin gay its not even right. TOOL > Fred (shoot you myself!)

[john]

Whatever, it's respectable that at the height of his fame (whether deserved or not is irrelevant) he decides to play Tool to a crowd that probably had never heard Tool, let alone Opiate. If I was the frontman of a band, whether the band sucked or not, you're damned right I would play Tool songs. And besides, who are you (all of us here at tdn) to judge or question someone else's opinions on Tool? I mean it's not like he's standing there saying "Tool sucks!" He's paying homage to a band that he likes and that influenced him and his band. And please, save the "But Limp Bizkit sucks!" crap for another day. How many of you have sold millions of records?

You don't see a certain level of sacrilege? Everything Fred Durst does seems to be for other people's approval. And Quantity of records sold is not a measure of quality.

[nabiliofadilio]

when fred shouted "who likes tool!!!" i died a little inside

[Clutch_The_Cornerstone]

yeah seriously...and when he questioned them...they cheered rather loudly? why the hell are TOOL fans at a limp bizkit show? please tell me WHY?! im gonna go die now...later

[paravariations]

In the beginning of the video, Fred says:
"I mean, really, you like Tool, like, everything is the shit, right?"
Is that meant to be an insult?
Just wondering.

[Matt8]

...fuck

[rudyyyy5]

That was definatly the worst cover of any song I've ever heard in my life. That being said I'm not gonna kill myself, or Fred Durst, or anyone for that matter. I'm not really pissed off at it and I don't think that all of you should be either. It was just a crappy cover thats all.

but LIMP BIZCIT PLAYED A TOOL SONG. A TOOL SONG!!!
its more than just a crappy cover!! its a fucking hate crime!

[thezeusanator]

Die Durst Die!

Holy fuck.

But Limp Bizkit sucks.

But Limp Bizkit sucks.



Touche'...

[HelenA]

We don't take what Limp Bizkit does seriously - do we?

[nabiliofadilio]

We don't take what Limp Bizkit does seriously - do we?

well...no.... but they still crossed the line with this!

[nethandleWompa1]

I can't believe that Limp Bizkit fans like Tool...

Fuck, Tool sucks.

Why can't fans of Limp Bizkit be fans of Tool as well? Also, why are you on this forum let alone this website if you think Tool sucks?

[Bhikkhu]

ehm... Tool = Art

and...ehm, Limp Bizkit has almost nothing to do with art, in my opinion. To me, it seems guys like fred durst are only interested in groupies, having sex and having his ugly face on tv.

[mrskeenan]

i guess i'm the last person in the world to hear about this, and i'm happy not ashamed. i wish i were still oblivious...i guess i never heard about it because as soon as i see or hear the word limp bizkit, i run the other direction. i'm appauled, people like fred durst should be banned from listening to tool, much less singing or attempting to sing it. i really hope i recover from this...

[Angel on the Sideline]

Now it's obvious why the hottie known as Christina Aguilera wouldn't give Durst the time of day ... because he's a Limp Fuck. That's easily, and I do mean by far, the worst cover I've ever heard in my life. What a shitty start to my day. I wish I'd never seen that YouTube clip. I offer an Abraham Lincoln, a Strawberry Shortcake or a Cincinnati Bowtie to YouTube for leaving that crap up. Just pathetic.

[dmurf]

Limp Suckit really blows!!

Fred almost had talent, but he tossed it out for whatever you want to call that performance he clings to.

[triad1]

have seen the cover version of opiate right now and i have to say that its one of the worst cover songs i´ve ever heard. lb sucks

[dmurf]

Selling out, laying down, sucking up to the man?

LOL! Yea, I'd put those down on the list.

[dmurf]

speaking of covers, I think I finally found a 'decent' Brittney Spears tune:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy1Jki4TT9c

[cade_nce]

1) This cover is truly awful. If you have to ask why somebody can't be both a Tool and Limp Bizkit fan at the same time...then maybe you and I need to sit down with an album by both and start time signature hunting. That'll be a start.

2) Whoever said the Staind cover of "Sober" was good...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmngKcVL368

Was Jesus a fucking whistler? Is nothing but the past done? Hmm...

3) Wes Borland is a very talented guitarist. He's working with Maynard's homeslice Danny Lohner right now, IIRC. It's too bad he was in that truly shitty band. I listened to that shit when I was 15-16, but then I discovered AEnima and that was about all I needed to sell those albums by Korn and da' LB and whatever (and in one case, throw it out the window of my car).

It's like watching the south park movie, in that it's a parody of itself LOL

4) The South Park movie is absolutely brilliant. I believe you meant to say it's like watching south park season 8-current, in that it's a parody of itself...

On the plus side, it means Buttney Spears will be dead, too.

[nabiliofadilio]

good point.

[Tool_Is_Sick]

On the plus side, it means Buttney Spears will be dead, too.

Yeah thank god, i would love to cum on her face as soon as she dies though.....

[gjamison27]

I guess we're not all one consciousness after all....

[NightmarexOfxFerocity]

The prospect of sicking a coyote that's been starved for a week on my head is far better than having to sit through that again. Dear God, it was the most awful thing I've ever had to go through. It literally made me want to puke up my small intestine and string myself up with it. I think I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now...

You know what? No, I don't deserve to die because Fred Durst is a no-talent cunt who somehow finds himself worthy enough to cover a Tool song. He isn't even worthy enough to wash Maynard's feet! Hell, I'm not even sure if I'm worthy enough and I know for a fact that I'm at least a million times more acceptable as a human being than Fred Durst. Things like this are slowly eating away at my respect and hope for humanity. People like Fred Durst need to be slaughtered for the common good.

[NightmarexOfxFerocity]

As a sidenote, my brother just listened to the cover. It's also interesting to note that my brother is not a die hard Tool fan. Sure, he listens to some of their songs, but he's never heard Opiate before. I had to leave the room as he listened to it and when he came out his eyes were wide. I asked him what was wrong and he just kept on staring. I went over and nudged his shoulder a little bit and then only thing he could do was mutter 'horrible' as he shuffled away to his room.
