eh. Cruel Melody was not bad. Wes' art work is amazing.

i got the promo cd from one of the stations out here from a friend along with obie trices first album

that was a real big disappointment. i love wes and after he left their entire sound really changed. the new guitar player pretty just played powerchords and generic clean passages. the bass and the drums both kinda were meh IMO. it was like every vagueish generic 'omfg we're heavy" moment in their career crammed together. chocolate starfish is one of my favorite albums to this day. everything after wes left was just an exponentially greater disappointment. especially considering sam and john were both really good at what they did.

that said, i wouldn't really wanna see them all get back together. i saw korn a month or two ago when they were here on with family values and it was like a joke. they're not even the same band anymore, it was like a korn cover band. it made me really sad, i honestly wanted to leave halfway through their set. i think it might be neat just to see them all get back together WITH HEAD!!! but it just wouldn't be the same.

omg. i don't have the patience to read all this comments.. i just woke up from a nap.

but no dude. as far as i know there's really no chance at all of that happening, because durst and wes kinda buried the hatchet...
in eachother's heads?


i think it'd be great if they got back together with Wes taking on like 50% songwriting duties and it was more of a cooperative thing and all. But i think Durst is a control freak and a drama queen.

i still like what durst does as a musician. just as a person, i think he's ridiculous.


oh. and to Haunted Cereal:
um. "the new guitarist" didn't exist. There were a number of different guitarists involved in writing the material on Results May Vary, including Fred Durst, Mike Smith, and a song by Brian "Head" Welch. If you think all they did was play powerchords and generic clean passages, i'm sorry, but you're being ignorant. I've learned a lot of those songs and not only are there a lot of memorable riffs, but there's some cool lead lines and some passages that were tough to learn. And Sam and John didn't drop the ball either. I just don't think you've given the album a fair and discerning listen.

oh. and i really look forward to the next BLB album cuz i just cant' stop listening to Cruel Melody for some reason... It's kinda simplistic and from an analytical standpoint i feel like i shouldn't like it that much.. but i do. And there's rumor of Sam Rivers joining up full time on the next one.. and i know wes will be more well-rounded as he'll have honed is craft and his singing on tour for sure.

Limp Bizkit's first one was good and their second was alright but after that, I lost interest, I never was much of a fan anyhow. I did see them open for Helmet and Korn back in 1997 and they put on a good show. Wes Borland is an alright guitarist too, he's got his own thing going on, which is cool. Fred Durst however, no thanks.

"the new guitarist" meaning the one that wasn't in the band before the "old guitarist" left.

i was referring to mike smith as he was the touring guitarist and as far as i know did the majority of the studio work. no, to be honest i haven't listened to it since '04 atm i just went and dug it out from between leonard bernsteins orchestra perfoming the battle of stalingrad and living colors "vivid"

i don't know about "memorable" riffs but they're not horrible. the production is nifty although a little poppy for my tastes. what track was done by head, i don't see him in the credits anywhere? the semi breakdown riff in "gimme the mic" was neat, kinda slipknottish especially with the turntables in it.

still i'd say its nothing new. its not horrible but its not really innovative. the guitars have wes' type of distorted sound but there doesn't seem to be any real inspiration to anything. its just this "hey this is neat, it should go here" kinda thing. i think this is just because mike was more of a guitarist whereas wes was just more of an artist. that was actually one of the things they had said about wes when he joined was that he wasn't really a "guitar player" he was creative. that might be what i'm trying to get at, there wasn't as much creativity put into it. whether or not thats because of wes leaving, a change in times, a change in them or whatever, i can't say.

thats weird, its not in the booklet. it says hes there courtesy of epic but theres no mention of him anywhere else in there.

[Korbain]

he is credited in the booklet i am pretty sure

[Haunted Cereal]

i have it my hands right now and have been frustratedly rereading the credits over and over and i really don't see him anywhere except at the bottom in very little print. its disconcerting. they should've put crack addict on that album.
