Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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.

Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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.

Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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

Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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.

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.

Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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.

Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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.

Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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...

Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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.

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

Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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).

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...

Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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.

Re: Limp Bizkit Version?!

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.
