Limp Bizkit touring Australiain February?

Tue 4th Oct, 2011 in Local News

Update::
IT’S TRUE!

Don’t try to pretend that you haven’t been wearing out your treasured copy of Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (on limited edition brown vinyl) while waiting for the momentous day when Limp Bizkit would finally announce that they would return to Australia.

The band who last played in Australia on the 2001 Big Day Out tour have announced their plan to return early next year with Fred Durst revealing on Twitter earlier today that he’ll be in “Japan next week. Working on US tour middle/end of November. Australia in February. Bizkit rocks hard.”

It’s news that should certainly please the members of the misnamed “5000 Fans for Limp Bizkit to Tour Australia!” Facebook group, which actually only boasts 967 members, but where will their favourite red capped fool and his merry men actually be playing?

Limp Bizkit will hardly be welcome on the second Big Day Out lineup announcement as festival promoter Vivian Lees has declared that “Limp Bizkit will definitely not be performing [at] Big Day Out shows anywhere, ever.” And Soundwave head honcho has also ruled out booking the band for the Soundwave 2012 lineup saying that “there is no way in hell any festival in Australia would be stupid enough to book them again.”

The question is: Does anyone actually care about them coming down under?

The question is: Do Limp Bizkit give a fuck? (no, no they don't)

Ouch to the burnt bridges with the only two promoters who would book this tripe!

significant other was a gateway album which lead to me listening to so much more great music. i missed out on when limp came through due to being in melbourne.

i think it'll be a good gig.

p.s - to anybody who thinks bdo didn't have their fair share to do with the death of jessica michalik's death is retarded. after reading into the affair i learnt that both the band and their management recommended a d or t barrier long before the festival was live. bdo said no. they are just as much to blame. also, flemington racecourse is ball waste for a festival.

D1LL1NGER

D1LL1NGER said on the 4th Oct, 2011

bdo have just as much to do with the death of jessica michalik as limp bizkit.

they are an entertaining band and have made their bones for a reason. so bring them on. i can't wait.

D1LL1NGER

D1LL1NGER said on the 4th Oct, 2011

damn. posted twice because i didnt think that the first popped up. disregard my repetitive bullshit :)

oldgregg

oldgregg said on the 4th Oct, 2011

i dont think anyone is disputing that it wasn't 100% LB's fault, i think it's more the fact they fucked off with out so much as an apology or any sort of acceptance of burden.

gumbuoy said on the 4th Oct, 2011

I don't know what that means.

D1LL1NGER

D1LL1NGER said on the 4th Oct, 2011

the band did the same thing they do at every single one of their shows. if the right precautions were put into place (as they suggested) then the kid wouldn't have died. agreed. a bit more support from the band could have redeemed them but they were crucified by media as being the people to blame. not trying to justify them, but why should a band be blamed for something they attempted to prevent?

Shieldsy23 said on the 4th Oct, 2011

So Fred, whats the objective this time?
2, 3 or 4 dead girls?

rohan_750 said on the 4th Oct, 2011

yeah d1ll1nger your right limp bizkit said they wanted a d barrier and their own security for bdo but the organisers denied it. and yeah u cant blame a band for a girl dying how are they supposed to control thousands of people their just meant to perform for the crowd. but yeah i hope they do come out what venue do u reckon theyd play in melb?

Hey, all you Limp Biskit fans who are n00bs to the forum, here's a tip: we don't hate them for 2001, we hate them because the band is shit.

Slip_dog

Slip_dog said on the 4th Oct, 2011

You all hate them because you like shit music, not because their music is shit.

C'mon SD, even you have to admit the musical output of Limp Bizkit is quite shit.

Okay, I will let one concession slide: when gay marriage is legalized and I proceed over the marriage between you and random_hero, I'll let you play "Nookie" as you walk down the aisle.

We cool? We cool.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 4th Oct, 2011

Ok, so a while ago now AJ said that he had booked a band 'worse than brokencyde' for SW2012. As you can imagine I was perplexed by this but with today's Bizzzzzkit news, is it possible that he has actually booked those notorious rascals?

I think the real question though is if he's doing it for the nookie or not?

ThatDude123

ThatDude123 said on the 4th Oct, 2011

Tbh it's probably a Frontier arena tour that'll be marketed as "the most controversial tour of 2012" complete with a quote from Gudinski in the presser saying how no one would touch these guys, but "he's doing it for the fans".

It'll sell out, it'll happen, today tonight might get angry for about 2 minutes, the world will continue to spin.

ETA: There WILL be an ACA/TT/HeraldScum/Terrorgraph report on this and the whole 2001 bullshit when it's confirmed, planted by the promoters to give it extra "edge".

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 4th Oct, 2011

Well, I definitely think I would attend a Limp Bizkit tour for nostalgia. Here's hoping some of my drunken antics end up on ACA!

you are all so fucking terrified to say that you want to see a band that the general fasterlouder population deem as shit. this isn't free dress day at school, you aren't out trying to impress all your peers.

Wrong, Hinee. As the token Actual Hipster I am judging every single one of you.

This is my face when I see a "I want to see Limp Biskit" post:

bozza03 said on the 5th Oct, 2011

as the creator of the group mentioned in this article i'm absolutely pumped about the prospect of limp bizkit touring in february.

a big thanks to the plug from faster louder for our facebook group.

yes i admit the title is a tad misleading, i would've liked more of the lbf down under to have joined to bring it up to the psychological 5000 member target, but if lb stick to their word and come here in february and i and many others see them in melbourne and other major cities, then that is all that matters :)

i encourage those lb fans that haven't joined the group already to do so!

by the by, i'm also a big fan of faith no more and iron maiden and was nice and close to the stage when these two bands played at soundwave in melbourne in 2010 & 2011, so with all due respect to the soundwave organisers, who have done a magnificent job in bringing some of the best bands to aus, they ought to put things into perspective. there's nothing "stupid" about having a band play at a festival if the security requests of the band (which are the norm for most festivals nowadays) are adhered to.

yes there was tragic incident involving the death of young girl back in 2001, there's no question that it was one death too many, but also remember there was an incident involving multiple low lives (not lb's fault) when limp bizkit played at woodstock 1999 in the us.

putting things into perspective, limp bizkit have played a lot of live shows in the usa since 1999 without incident, so i'd respectfully point out to bdo and soundwave organisers that important old saying "history is not destiny".

cheers

I thought I'd made it quite clear that I will see Limp Bizkit.

They can't be worse than Third Eye Blind were.

John Henry Eden said on the 5th Oct, 2011

i didn't think anyone on here would actually like limp bizkit. and no, i don't mean for the bdo incident. just because most people tend to get over them after the age of 12.

I have proudly gone on record to say that I've seen Miley Cyrus and Jason Derulo live. I've seen Amy Meredith five times and enjoyed every set. I thought U2's gig last year at ANZ was one of the best of the year. I post about listening to Melanie C and Evanescence in the Albums thread.

If I truly, honest-to-god, cared as much as you're convinced everyone on this forum does, would I really talk about that kind of stuff?

What type of bird is Big Bird?

EDIT: Appears he is many types of Birds.

The book "G" is for Growing: Thirty Years of Research on Children and Sesame Street refers to Big Bird as a canary. In an episode of Sesame Street, Big Bird was asked if he was related to the cassowary, he replied, "I'm more of a condor." On a 1976 episode of Hollywood Squares, he said he was a lark. In the film Don't Eat the Pictures, Osiris calls Big Bird an ibis. Zoologist Mike Dickison hypothesizes that Big Bird, or Grandicrocavis viasesamensis, is a type of flightless crane. Big Bird appeared in a series 11 episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. In this episode he declares he is a "Golden Condor."

more on topic, omg i had no idea limp bizkit is still well... active. won't go into the objective quality of the band, but
let's just say this is one of those bands i listened to 10 years ago (in high school), and for a long time now
i'm kinda keeping that fact a secret. :o

luckily internet is anonymous *grin*

Your infatuation with Braveheart is disturbing, you need to address your homosexuality at some point.
