But it already happened

 

I feel like Dig doesn’t really belong here and should be replaced with a LB song.

 

It was voted by readers and Limp Bizkit is very much the band to hate on, so I'm not terribly surprised. And if any Mudvayne song was going to be chosen, Dig is a very obvious choice.

I'm surprised Chop Suey wasn't up there, if we're going for low-hanging fruit.

 

Bodies should be in there if you ask me

 

Before I click on this, is it good?

 

it's not bad. nothing overly misoganist or anything (like some of their older stuff)

maybe avoid the video, just because it's kinda stupid

 

SALIVA's JOSEY SCOTT Was Originally Asked To Rap On EVANESCENCE's "Bring Me To Life"

feel like this woulda changed things...or not.

 

I love how they try and get all political

 

They are not exactly on the list of bands I can take seriously

 

Mike Shinoda was originally asked to do it and he was like "Hard fucking pass on that."

 

The political thing is not new for them. I love it though. It's such a surface level, stoner conspiracy theory politics

 

Too much weed!

 

Cool but Flaw being there kinda sucks

 

Came in here to post the Union Underground thing. Wild that they're headlining when they're the least active band on the bill, but I guess they came up with the tour with Soil.

Sounds like they're still working on a new album, which is rad.

 

Is this true?

 

I mean at the time, nobody knew how big Evanescence would be so I can’t blame him

 

KORN, LINKIN PARK Singers Offer Advice To New Bands: 'Find Your Own Style'

 

Hed P.E. is a band I love for their mixing of genres and their aforementioned "stoner politics", but do not love when they go hardcore misogynist or casual homophobe.

I don't know if that latter part is actual homophobia or Jahred just trying to be "shocking" though.

I remember him going on record that when Only In Amerika came out, he was just so happy to be off Jive that he went way overboard with his lyrics as a reaction to Jive having censored them for so long.

 

Interesting, and definitely dovetails with things Lee has said about that song in recent years. I read that was one of the reasons they did the Synthesis version, to bring it closer to what they originally intended.

I do wonder if it ended up helping or hurting 12 Stones. I could see either case, seeking out the band based on McCoy's appearance and maybe being disappointed they're a post-grunge band more akin to 3 Doors Down.

 

Only in Amerika is insane though.

 

sucks that Flaw is there, but also they're the only band on the tour I actually like, tbh. but I would love to hear that one RA song live
