For all the instances in music history where rock and rap mixed quite well -- From the hip-hop influenced work of Blondie and The Clash to the high profile collaborations between Aerosmith and Run DMC, Anthrax and Public Enemy, and The Judgement Night soundtrack -- it's the one instance of rock and rap gone horribly wrong which perhaps had the greatest influence on the two genres current separation....
Full Circle is not the thinking man's rock record, it is pure and simple modern rock with a bite that's been lost in gimmicks and cliches since around 2003 or so.
Missy Elliot -’Miss E…So Addictive.’ (WEA,2001) 2001 was something of a watershed year for me, personally and musically. At the start of the year, I was doing teacher-training and trying to come to terms with the fact that nu-metal was there to stay; Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Korn. I was starting to despair of Stereophonics and Travis [...]
There is a saying that time heals all wounds. People grow up, things change, that girl you used to date marries that really creepy guy who's way older than her and they move to Edgewater and get a dog named...
I anticipate, and will appreciate, your utmost confidence, for this is something I’ve never shared with anyone: I own three—three!—Otep albums. For those of you unfamiliar with Otep, I’ll delight in your ignorance, but for those of you wagging your fingers at your monitors and laughing like hyenas, I blush in your general direction. For the [...]
Last night we held our second Heavy Metal Halloween following on from the success of last year and we had seven student bands performing the likes of Slipknot, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Rage Against The Machine, Attica, Paramore, and Limp Bizkit. Maybe not all of those fall distinctly into heavy metal but the name has a [...]

Words and Pictures by Dan Kober The Vancouver two-piece, Japandroids, did not put on much of a show in Philadelphia. The whole experience felt like being stuck in some sad version of Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff” video. But these guys were singing about French-kissing French girls and getting drunk in the basement, rather than breaking a human face. I’ll gladly take the former...
Here's the new video from Onyx for their song "Black Rock (U Kno Wht It Iz)," off their upcoming rap-rock album. Call me crazy, but this could have come out a lot worse. I mean, it still ain't pretty in any respect, but at least it isn't Limp Bizkit.Onyx - "Black Rock (U Kno Wht It Iz)"addthis_pub = 'WallySean';
Ibanez Announces New 7-String Guitars July 24, 1999 - Nashville will again see the unveiling of new Ibanez 7-string guitars. For Korn-style players the basswood, fixed-bridge RG7421, features a drier, edgier tone. It's also the least expensive 7-string Ibanez has ever offered. For the Limp Bizkit kind of player, the mahogany AX7521 is rich in low mids and comes equipped with super high output pickups....
Slate music writer Jonah Weiner has been getting a tremendous amount of ribbing on the internet for his latest counter-intuitive pop rock piece, "Creed is Good: Scott Stapp's nu-grunge foursome was seriously underrated." Weiner penned a similar defense of Limp Bizkit earlier this year, in fitting with his publication's overall reputation for being contrary just for the sake of it. For us,...
