Artist: Limp Bizkit

Metallica, Biffy Clyro and Slipknot are headlining the event in July...

A couple of years back Dots & Dashes packed black for a weekend of raucousness and rock at Knebworth for the best hefty fest that the south has to offer, Sonisphere . That year was headlined by pastiche metal behemoths Metallica and this year they return as part of The Big 4. Joined by the likes of Slayer , Megadeth and Anthrax , they dominate Friday's line up. Elsewhere, this year's festival boasts the likes of Biffy Clyro who now find themselves atop the festival circuit foodchain and a [...]

The latest line-up announcement for Sonipshere Fesitval is pretty much a say-what-you-see kinda news story - Limp Bizkit, Gallows, Gojira, The Sisters Of Mercy, Kids In Glass Houses, InMe, Volbeat, Protest The Hero and One Minute Silence (oh yeah!) have been added to the bill of this year's festival. It's been confirmed that this will [...]

Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month is Decibel. Here's managing editor Andrew Bonazelli... I'm one of those dipshits who has shamefully mumbled, "I kind of liked the first two Korn albums…" in casual conversation. The karmic penalty has [...]

My friend Martin, who is mostly into goregrind (he's a big fan of Cemetery Rapist), slam metal and shitty southern rap, always says EMMURE is this generation's Limp Bizkit. Until now, I kind of wrote him off as an out-of-touch hipster who didn't know what he was talking about, but I am starting to think [...]

This is clearly the most hilarious thing I've heard all day long on the interwebs! It seems the city of Austin, TX is looking to name its Solid Waste Services Department and as proof of democratic consideration, officials are turning to its fair citizens for the name through way of a web poll . The officials claim they want want a name that can 'better reflect all of the services the Department provides,' including 'rubbish collection, litter control and household hazardous waste disposal,' but here's where it gets really interesting... So far, however, the poll [...]

BING! Still funny. Amazing. I was kinda flattered last week when some people said they actually DO read the intros to "Worst Week." So, uh, thanks for the ego boost! In addition to Groundhog Day, here are some things we celebrated this week: The debut of new music from Scale the Summit and American Heritage. [...]

Well, this is just fucking amazing. Seriously. I'm not kidding. This just made my day in a way nothing else possibly could. Sometimes, something happens to restore your faith in life. This is one of these times. Let's start here... and keep in mind that this is a really real thing: "The City of Austin is renaming [...]

Breaking down any given genre to its bare bones would normally take the precision of a surgeon and the patience of Job. There are deeply-rooted histories in places like blues and soul, folk and rock-and-roll, the essentials of it all. Metal has its place, much like punk, in rebellion against something. Grunge, whether you consider it a genre or not (I do), was a means to explore themes of pain or angst, and it was necessary. Even offshoots like emo, ska, and Christian rock have origins and overlaps of their own. With this kind of sub-genre shuffling and variety, there [...]

The other day, while driving through the pleasant streets of San Francisco, my friend thought it would be a marvelous idea to crank Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff". Mind you, the windows were down, so anybody who was in earshot of us clearly heard Fred Durst amplifying every curse word as if to piss off every parent whose child bought his album, but they also heard us actually listening to "Break Stuff." That is embarrassing enough. I'm not sure where it happened, but somewhere over the course of ten years, everyone really started hating Limp Bizkit. Sure, the rap metal of [...]

Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month is Decibel. Here's managing editor Andrew Bonazelli... And now for another ball-garglingly bodacious round of Guess the Next Hall of Fame and Win a Six-Month Subscription to Decibel. Albert seems to think [...]

Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue. This week, Anso DF suggested the Question of the Week; unfortunately, he did so before Slipknot announced that they're headlining the Sonisphere Festival this year, so it doesn't seem quite as [...]

When I fulfilled an adolescent dream and interviewed Jackyl's Jesse James Dupree earlier this year, he told me that he was anticipating some controversy for the band's cover of Mother's Finest's song "Just Like a Negro." It's obviously a little weird to have a bunch of white dudes doing a track with that title, and [...]

Ok, so I usually don't post any hardcore/breakcore stuff but this remix is pretty amazing; for both the luls and an extreme WHOA factor. Now, some of you might be familiar with Munchi for his funky, moombahton sound but this is something totally different. Plus, I figured, with Halloween around the corner & this whole ... Read more

Earlier this week I had a dream that I was working with Atreyu. I don't know in what capacity I could possibly find myself "working with" Atreyu, since I'm not a manager, nor a publicist, nor a label rep, and they're about as likely to end up doing a guest column here as I am [...]

I know what you're thinking: "Two Limp Bizkit-related stories in as many days! What did we ever do to be so lucky?" What can I say? This entire week has felt like one long hangover. So. Fred Durst's feature film directorial debut, a would-be Sundance hit called The Education of Charlie Banks, was a barely-watchable piece [...]

In 1997 there was this girl that I was really into. I don't even remember what her name was now, but I remember being very excited when I finally found myself at her place with just the two of us for company. "Hey, wanna hear something awesome?" she asked me. The correct answer in that [...]

Unless you count current metalcore bands with a wiggerish slant (Emmure, Winds of Plague, Acacia Strain, etc.), the genre of nu-metal is all but dead. Once a nearly-unstoppable juggernaut of Kikwear pants, eyebrow piercings, and chinstrap beards, today it is but a dessicated husk, barely clinging to life. At its peak, nu-metal filled the airwaves [...]
