TFW you get an 8-string guitar and then only play the lowest string
Meanwhile the weird dude from Limp Bizkit: 4-string guitar.
bass guitar players: "am i a joke to you?"
Bass players come in two flavors:
Then you have Stig Pedersen in D-A-D who's left-handed and gets his instruments specially made. He decided to only have two strings on those.
It depends. Limp Bizkit tracks like 'Nookie' or 'Full Nelson' that use a 4-string guitar tuned to F# (like the low strings of an 8-string) do a pretty good job of letting the bass breathe despite the guitar's low tuning. Helps that LB has really loud bass. But in modern djent-y metal, yeah kind of - Animals As Leaders doesn't even have a bass player.
Wes Borland! He's more talented than his Bizkit work would suggest, I actually dig his solo work.
I'll put that on my to-listen list!
I think all the musicians in Limp Bizkit are really good, even Fred Durst is a good vocalist. It's the problematic lyrics and the off-stage antics that clearly show that it's not 'just a joke, bro' that pull it down.
The weird dude from Limp Bizkit? You know Fred Durst was also in that band, right? You can't just say "the weird one" with this band. Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
Oh hell. PerWee Herman joined for a brief spell for about 2 weeks on their live tour in 2004 when Durst was sick.
I mean, I made that last part up, but you just checked wikipedia, didn't you? I mean living in 2025, no claim is too absurd to be real. We live in the dumbest timeline.
Arguably, Fred Durst isn't weird, he's just a douchey frat bro, and those are a dime a dozen. By 90s nu metal standards, he might even stand out by being too normal.
