Colin Murray has a funny story about RATM, when he was compering Leeds in 2008 there was a lad who was volunteering behind the scenes. He was driving bands back and forth to the stages in a golf cart,

Real shame it turned out to be a hoax. They fit the ethos of the festival so well, I can't think of anyone better to get in at such times. Really hope that the Eavii pull it out of the bag and have th

The answer was yes, there have been loads of worse albums by some distance.

The man said "album title".

The answer was yes. A worse album title is the album by Chumbawamba called 'The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or from Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won'

Ironically that title has more words than their only hit.

Did we ever resolve the “has there ever been a worse album title than that?” debate.

It’s a terrible title, but I bought it when I was 12 and therefore have an undying love for it, because a song with the lyric “just one more fuck and that’s 46 fucks in this fucked up rhyme” is delightful to a boy who’s just discovered swearing.

Take Off Your Pants And Jacket was pretty pathetic and juvenile album title. Exactly what we want to see from Travis, Tom and Mark. 

Enema of the State was defo their best album imo, followed of this one. But Dude Ranch had two of their best songs.

Ten minutes of Bizket - Break Stuff and that one from Mission Impossible - would be adequate.

I saw Limp Bizkit at Boomtown in 2018, it was such an odd set. They took requests from the crowd, and played a load of covers (badly) and then the stage ceiling collapsed on the guitar board (forcing the set to end early) before they got to playing 'Take a Look Around'.

I saw them headline the R1 tent at Reading in 2015 up against Mumford & Sons who were headlining the main stage.

Fred Durst came on and shouted ‘do you want to hear new shit or old shit ‘ ‘

it was a higher nostalgia trip for the latter and when it got a(n inevitablebly) much bigger cheer they launched straight into (I think) My Generation and the tent went mental!

I remember it well, probably still one of the most fun sets I've been to. They'd be great at Glastonbury imo

During Break Stuff. Unbelievable timing.

Rock en Seine which booked them last year is announcing their line up next week.

I'm hoping for a decent Euro fest or them being at a London day fest to avoid seeing them at R&L.

It’s honestly a shame but I feel like R&L is going to be the only place to see them again. A day ticket job for me I think.
