Freddie’s already gone to Hollywood – now he’s taking his band to the Pleasuredome. Limp Bizkit have recorded a version of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s sexually charged 1984 hit “Relax” for the Ben Stiller film “Zoolander.” “It is the bomb, it is so dope,” said electronic artist/producer BT, who is scoring the movie, of the track last week. “It’s not really a cover – you’ll know what I mean when you hear it…. It’s sorta like if a band did a remix.” The original “Relax,” known for its “Relax, don’t do it” refrain, appeared on the dance group’s Welcome to… Read more »

The Eminem/Everlast feud has expanded to include Eminem’s one-time friends Fred Durst and DJ Lethal of Limp Bizkit. Eminem has some choice and predictably profane words for the pair on “Girls,” a track from the group D12’s forthcoming Devil’s Night. Eminem is apparently upset about a comment Lethal made in December during the Limp guys’ visit to “TRL.” Lethal, who was in House of Pain with Everlast but was also friends with Eminem, at first said of their beef, “They’re both men, they’ll work it out.” But he added that if the two were to take their differences outside the… Read more »

Donning scary makeup isn’t the only hobby of Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, as the six-stringer is readying a full-length release from his side project, Big Dumb Face. Scheduled for a March 6 release, Duke Lion Fights the Terror!! features Borland – under the pseudonym “The Tongue of Colicab” – performing almost all of the music and vocals on the 12-song album, with a little help from his friends. A full band consisting of Borland and bassist/brother Scott (performing as “The Cardboard Urinal”), and a drummer and second guitarist (“Joe Couch” and “The Three Headed Demetrian Pup,” respectively) is being… Read more »

Limp Bizkit has responded to the news that the heart attack victim at the Big Day Out festival in Australia has died. The band says: “We are devastated that Jessica died, and really nothing can describe the sadness and anguish we’re feeling. We offer sympathy, prayers, and compassion to her family and friends. The loss of her life will impact ours forever.” The victim, 15-year-old Jessica, suffered a heart attack when she collapsed during a crush at the Limp Bizkit show in Sydney, Australia on Friday (January 26). She had been in critical condition at Concord Hospital in town. This… Read more »

We know Metallica and Limp Bizkit will headline the Summer Sanitarium Tour, but what we don’t know is who will be in those bands. Or do we? “We got Yngwie Malmsteen,” Fred Durst deadpanned Wednesday at a press conference to announce the tour, which also features Linkin Park, the Deftones and Mudvayne. “Oh man, he was next on my list,” Lars Ulrich said of the Swedish metal guitar virtuoso. “I’ll take Steve Vai and give you him,” Durst shot back. Of course, Durst and Ulrich were joking. Metallica’s bassist slot and Limp Bizkit’s guitarist slot remain vacant. The latter band… Read more »

For those who think rap-rock is just about tapped out, Quarashi would like to present their spin on the genre. “We’re trying to do rap music the way Joey Ramone would have done rap music,” said Sölvi Blondal, the band’s producer and drummer. “What we are trying to do is punk-rock rap music, but a little bit more 1990s, like when Public Enemy was doing Fear of a Black Planet and when Cypress [Hill] was coming up with their first album. We tried to approach that style…. We didn’t want to be like Limp Bizkit or these bands that are… Read more »

Those WWF Smackdown spots just wouldn’t be the same without P.O.D.’s “Alive,” Creed’s “My Sacrifice” and Kid Rock’s “Cocky” blaring in the background. In many cases, shots of wrestlers powerbombing, chokeslamming and clotheslining one another are more captivating than the images in real rock videos. Let’s face it, loud rock and wrestling go together like salted bacon and farm-fresh eggs, the aggressive tones and violent visuals feeding off each other, creating a charged symbiosis of pumping testosterone. With over-the-top sound and sight, all you need is a sweat-and-blood-soaked rag under your nose to create the ultimate sensory experience. “Wrestling and… Read more »

With Wes Borland’s job in Limp Bizkit vacant, the band is already setting up “interview” sessions for a new guitarist. The remaining Bizkit members, Fred Durst, DJ Lethal, Sam Rivers and John Otto, will launch a U.S. tour which will double as guitarist auditions and “fan parties.” “It’s just a great chance for us to be with our fans,” Durst explained. “We could be at a club, at your house, at the mall, at your high school, who knows?” Stops for the tour have not been set, but the band is expected to play major cities like New York, Dallas,… Read more »

As Fred Durst says, the title tells it all: New Old Songs. The Neptunes do it all for the nookie, Timbaland tries a mission impossible and P. Diddy shows his way on Limp Bizkit’s upcoming remix album, due in December. Also among the hitmakers who are contributing versions of Bizkit’s songs are DJ Premier and William Orbit – in addition to Limp’s own DJ Lethal, guitarist Wes Borland and Durst. “The remixes are like brand new songs,” Durst said Thursday. “We’re writing our new record, so this is something you can put in your stereos and bump to.” E-40 and… Read more »
