LIMP BIZKIT Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Often considered to be one of, if not, the most iconic performances from nu-metal legends Limp Bizkit (not including the riots of Woodstock 1999), their set at the Rock im Park festival in Nuremberg, Germany on 1st June 2001 featured the band touring their multi-platinum selling career highpoint Chocolate Starfish & The Hotdog Flavoured Water. Boasting, what in retrospect, seems like a greatest hits collection featuring cuts such as 'Hot Dog', 'My Generation', 'My Way', 'Take A Look Around', and 'Rollin'', while also offering up older essential bangers like 'Nookie' and 'Break Stuff', ample room is still provided not only for their iconic rendition of George Michael's 'Faith' but a surprise cover of Metallica's 'Master Of Puppets'. A time capsule live performance from one of the most maligned yet smugly successful acts to ever throw out the metal, rock and hip-hop rule books, this enigmatic set is the stuff of legend, with frontman Fred Durst's ensuing ego-trip backed by the band's venomously grooving execution at every turn.

Review: Set to tear the (proverbial) roof off of Gunnersbury Park this August alongside the newly rejuvenated Pendulum, nu-metal icons Limp Bizkit have reached a peak in their career where their previously maligned nu-metal hip-hop hybrid has become a nostalgia source for hundreds of thousands fans. What better preparation for the upcoming event than this double LP greatest hits collection that runs through a myriad of the band's most essential bangers. From the breakout (no pun intended) singles 'Break Stuff' and 'Nookie' which put Significant Other on the map and in CD collections, to the endless string of hits from ignorant masterwork Chocolate Starfish & The Hot Dog Flavored Water, such as 'My Generation', 'Rollin'', 'My Way' and the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack stomper 'Take A Look Around', all the way up to the much underrated 'Eat You Alive' and The Who cover 'Behind Blue Eyes' from the unfairly forgotten Results May Vary, this is an ideal selection for both passive listeners and diehard fans. And yes, it obviously includes the George Michael cover of 'Faith'.

Review: Spanish label Hace Calor returns with a couple more bits of dancefloor fire to get frat parties, student nights and plenty in between all going wild. These two classics take the form of the DJ Premier-produced banger 'N 2 Gether Now' from US shock nu-metal dudes Limp Bizkit, featuring legendary rapper and stoner Method Man. On the flip is 'Street Dreams' by Joe which is an equally huge r&b track that is defined by a sample that was first made big by the late, great Tupac. Specially edited for DJs with a new outro and intro to make their work a little easier, there's no doubt there is one handy weapon to keep in the arsenal.
