First Time Hearing LIMP BIZKIT - "Take a Look Around" | Patreon

Patreon.com/RobTV
I told my friends/co-workers that "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic At the Disco is one of the best white boy songs I've ever heard. Now they're sending me song suggestions and I'm doing live reactions here.

[@Nozferatu46]

The guitarist, Wes Borland, is 90% of the reason to listen to Limp Bizkit.

[@paulleonard8509]

The only reason 😂

[@vgaportauthority9932]

@@paulleonard8509 Drummer is good. Hits hard.

[@korndog81]

​@VGA Port Authority bassist too, killer bass lines.

[@TheDeadStretch]

Damn dude that WAYYYYY under valuing all that John Otto does for their groove.

[@user-hf6sd1kw1e]

Agreed!

[@Black.Casper]

Oh man I respect the honesty. That’s where the comedy is presented without trying. It’s a real reaction & not something rehearsed. With that being said “Break Stuff” should have been the introduction song for you to this band. That would have given a better impression of who LB really are.

[@mrldtj]

💯 on the mark conment. Why would anyone suggest this song as an intro to this band is beyond me. 😂

[@patrickcain1455]

N-together or my favorite is Boiler , I liked this because I watched Mission Impossible TV show as a kid. Also you can't hear the bass without 14"s pushed by a couple watts.

[@scapito]

Break Stuff ... the version from Woodstock... which set the theme for what happened afterwards 😅 🔥

[@SupJax]

That's what I was thinking. Chop Suey > BYOB . Take a look around > Break Stuff

[@tylerpohl1309]

Break stuff by limp bizket is perfect for the gym. (of course my opinion) also great for cleaning the floors 😂

[@bennyandthejets1865]

This song was made for the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack so your description is actually very accurate

[@cmdRUID]

So funny that he called this out without knowing it. This song was kept bland for a reason.

[@daltomono]

@@cmdRUID kind of irrelevant tho, because to me, every limp bizkit song sounds like this lol but don't get me wrong, I love their music sooo much, but Rob is def right about the lyrics and it applies to their music as a whole

[@ARey88]

​@@daltomono no it doesn't 🤦

[@doctorlu5369]

Learning that it’s mi2 soundtrack actually tracks bc you can hear that beat in the background

[@Aaron-tk5zy]

facts

[@PeterZeeke]

the juxtaposition between Robs reaction to the lyrics vs the guitar is how this band made their money

[@Brenooomaniezo]

The thing about Limp Bizkit is what you expect when you hear it. It is made to be dumb and fun, and that's what they give. If you try to find a deep meaning you probably will get disappointed, but if you just forget about it and embrace the goofy, it is really good. Their last album after a long hiatus is named "Limp Bizkit Still Sucks" so they know what they're doing and they know people will dislike it.

[@HollywoodRobTV]

That’s actually really cool that they named their album that. There are rappers that I listen to who aren’t “good,” but they’re good. So I get wym

[@Brenooomaniezo]

@@HollywoodRobTV I don't know how much you know about the band, if you're starting to listening now expecting something more serious, with deep lyrics like RATM, you will get really disappointed. But once you start to understand that they don't take it too serious and just want to make fun music, you can like it more if it is your thing. Songs like Break Stuff, Nookie and Faith are the best examples, the lyrics are edgy and goofy, but it is made to people have fun. Even Fred Durst is like a persona on stage, acting like a douchebag earlier on their career. For the last album he changed it to some like goofy dad. They know who they are and what they want to do, and they just do it even though people will hate. That's pretty awesome IMO.

[@BigTek9]

@@Brenooomaniezo I completely agree with everything you said, except Faith was a cover. And yes, George Michael was also very goofy, but that's a rabbit hole in and of itself.

[@AwaitingSordidDetails]

There is deeper meaning in a lot of the shit. It’s hidden by the comedy that casual fans take at face value…that’s the point

[@CliffArmijo]

Avenged sevenfold took a very similar approach with their newest album. They just wanted to make something difficult that not everyone would enjoy. Mostly for fun. I respect it. Just making art you want to make despite the fans leads to some interesting music.

[@brandon24816]

I am a 50 year ago white dude from central Indiana farmland. These are my songs. Truly Love your reaction and appreciation of the music. Gonna watch all of your newest music videos for sure. And give them a Like 👍🏼

[@HollywoodRobTV]

Thanks bro. I’m actually from Ohio. Used to go to Indy a lot. I live in Cali now tho

[@brandon24816]

Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave.

[@rachellavely4049]

Oh hey neighbor! I’m in Indy and yes, numetal was a big part of Midwestern teenage culture.

[@mikeymike214]

I actually enjoy this song. It's different imo. Limp bizkit has some bangers. Imo these are the songs that are worth listening to -> Faith, Nookie, Re-arrange, Rollin', My generation, and My way.

[@HollywoodRobTV]

I already know and love Rollin' because of the Undertaker! I'm gonna check out another track from them though

[@PeterZeeke]

@@HollywoodRobTV the rapping stays bad. Funniest thing is this guy has done collabs with Method Man

[@PauloRenato23]

@@HollywoodRobTV Also, Break Stuff (the kind of music that pumps you up!!)

[@normanutsey4393]

Need to let him hear songs that didn't make the radio or got very little air play. Counterfeit and honestly, the song Truth is a banger

[@curtiscox1430]

Break stuff as well

[@MB-ob6ye]

“Tryna duck the assness” is one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a while.

[@korndog81]

I love limp bizkit, but I also appreciate your honesty. There music isn't meant to have deep meaning behind it, they just put out bangers and I love them for that. There guitarist is legendary, and the drummer and bassist are very good too. They were trained in jazz.

[@Dr.Spatula]

This is also extremely far from their best shit

[@gamebucketman1632]

Limp bizkit has a plethora of "bangers". This song is not on that list.

[@billyblackman9996]

Love it man! Again - love your reactions

[@renegadespaceman]

Nobody, even in the rock/metal scene, has ever mistaken Fred Durst for a legitimate rapper. We always saw him as an obnoxious (in an occasionally fun why) hype man to on otherwise explosive and creative band. Also, their live sound punches like Tyson. Had me scanning the venue for signs of collapse.

[@zegim]

"I feel this has to be for 13 years olds" yep, that's Limp Bizkit

[@danmcmurphy2823]

or ppl who think fred durst is funny (which he is)

[@Ed-3080]

Fred is awsome, 🤣 🤘

[@ezradanger]

I was 13 when this song came out...and i loved it. Now, 23 years later, its painful to listen to the lyrics. But if i just turn my brain off and jam to Wes Borland's guitar, it still slaps.

[@JSmart523]

YES! I used to hate pop music because the lyrics were so UHHHHHHH until I visited a country where I didn't know the language and realized the same type of music, when I didn't understand the language, was really fun! After that, I learned to enjoy no matter how much the lyrics alone would turn me off.

[@federicomanueldavila9853]

I listen to the instumental version. It's awesome. Hate the lyrics too... so bad.

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

@rob Limp Bizkit- break stuff is their most banger of a song. I'm super surprised that you have not done a reaction vid to Slipknot's psychosocial. That song will put anyone on 100% charge level 😁

[@chronicCid1]

Still blows my mind that they got DMX, Red , and Meth(he’s on two songs) to feature for them.

[@IAmDaldondo]

This song's instrumental was used for Mission Impossible 2. But the best Limp Bizkit song gotta be "My Way"

[@tobyallen6393]

that or nookie

Nope, My Way was terrible the look on Borland's face said it all.

I grew up on this music, and those in your other reactions. It’s awesome seeing you get to experience some songs that defined my youth. I basically binged them all. They also inspired me to revisit a couple of albums that probably last listened to 15-20 years ago. Keep up the great work.

So refreshing for someone to put this so clearly. I grew up with a lot of this stuff and I am, of course, aware that it is cringe to an extent. But never saw it this clearly before. The outside perspective is great.

I mean it IS a movie song - It's the mission impossible theme

[@sleepdeprived4244]

Interesting that you say this sounds like something from a movie. You may recognise the melody as the theme tune from Mission Impossible, and this was written as the closing credits track for Mission Impossible 2

this reaction is so funny, i love limp bizkit, not for their lyrics but for their all over vibe ! the music, the way he delivers his vocal and so on. i also love rap music and can easily say limp bizkit arent the best for it. but definitely easy to sing along to and rock out too.

The lyrics are fire compared to what Rap HIp Hop has out Now 2023, this band was never known for it's rap it was known for it's fusion of rap, rock, metal, DJ and in your face vibes especially Wes Borland, truly underrated, agree to disagree.

[@williamhartman5977]

We all know you listened to the rest of it off camera, ain't foolin no one, it's all good we know your into it, don't be embarrassed

[@stevenerminpour9865]

They did you dirty requesting this one FIRST. “Break Stuff” should be everyone’s introduction to them. That shIt HARD

[@dallasortel16]

Loving the reaction vids to alot of highschool memories lmao. If you're looking for a rock song that is pretty dynamic with that melodic and heavy energy I'd suggest "This is the Time" by Nothing More.The lead singer has that emoish sound to his voice that you seem to enjoy

[@perlaintveen]

You said exactly what i think about this band! Specially about the lyrics! 🤣 maybe that's the secret for the life (?) hahahaa you're great!

[@Kaleihoku]

Love this channel my dude, because you enjoyed Story of The Year, I think you should definitely check out “Flicker, Fade” by Taking Back Sunday. It’s got that energy shifting, hard/soft formula you like.

[@meleedrian]

LMAO man these are too good 3:39 4:17 literally what I was thinking while the song was playing 😂 5:12 I DIED HERE MAN, BELTED AND DONE WOKE UP MY FAMILY 😂😂😂 You should give these songs a try (fast tempo, sweet guitar riffs): Pet Symmetry - Had A Name, Don't Remember It PUP - Free At Last PUP - Sibling Rivalry If you don't like at least one I'll subscribe to whatever top tier patron on your Patreon is 🤞🏽

[@fiddyb]

Your analogy of this being a band in a disney movie is bang on, this was actually written as the soundtrack to one of the early mission impossible franchise so had to appeal to a wide audience, hence the lack of fidelity to their genre and roots.

[@davidhaab5558]

First time listen, has to be "Break Stuff", period. Not gonna lie, im kinda mad that someone would request this song in the first place.

[@Kris_2213]

N 2 gether now with Method man was always one of my favorites. And break stuff for a bad day when you just want to loss it.

[@MadisonM1996]

One of their newest songs, "Dad Vibes" is pretty funny. The lyrics are still basic but they're better. You can tell they learned a little in the 20+ years since this song. Also, "Rollin' (Urban Assault Vehicle)" is an all rap version of the Undertaker's song featuring a bunch of old school rappers. And the song "N 2 Gether Now" features Method Man. And finally, Ready to Go features Lil Wayne. They also had Eminem and other rappers do cameos in their old music videos. So even though their lyrics suck, they were still respected by some of the top rappers.

[@stever8574]

I agree with your take!

[@thebrownacid9027]

Where's the link to your patreon? I got some requests for you 👍🏽

[@ilikefartjokes]

Limp Bizkit is the Nickleback of metal. They get clowned and hated on a lot but the they come to town they pack the house. I’ve seen ‘‘em live and one of the best shows I’ve seen. They’re straight fire live. They know how to hype a crowd

Old school recommendation for ya bro.......Cypress Hill. Check out the track "Light Another" or "Latino Lingo".

[@MrZJK541]

One of my favorite songs is A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold. It's different and eclectic but I think you'll like it since we've had the same opinions on a lot of songs you react to. Love the content man keep it up!

[@N0thing2SeaHere]

Wes Borland actually has a solo group. If you like the instrumentals of Limp Bizkit you should give Black Light Burns a chance. 4 walls is a great song by them.

[@kevindie]

*_Not gonna recommend Big Dumb Face? LOL_*

[@OneYoumark]

I agree with you. I've listened to most of their music but I still struggle to get behind them lyrically

[@chaserude1]

Really enjoying the reacts. I get to see some of my favorites through new eyes and see the fresh hate of Fred Durst and his lyrics shared with someone new. Have you considered doing a rap 101 to show the other side of the coin? I'm curious what you listened to before this series. Give us some context.

[@atvena]

You're overthinking this

[@KRich408]

I could tell you a story about the singer, what he did at an Outlaws owned club in Jacksonville FL let's just say he almost had his rear handed to him by the outlaws, I can't tell the story here or YT would ban me forever! In involved a female bartender that was related to a high ranking Outlaw, he (Durst ) wouldn't take no for an answer.

[@gmoney4980]

This is why I just play the instrumental to this Mission Impossible 2 song

[@ChiefBones]

This actually was a movie song. 😂

[@91GT347]

Its a soundtrack song. Thats why it sounds kind of like the mission impossible theme. Because it is. Lol When they make a movie and use an artists song, its usually descent. When the movie ask the artist, to write a song for the movie, its trash a lot of times. Because its quickly thrown together. Not always, but often.

[@shansalesman10]

Fred Durst isn't really known for his lyrical ability Rob, his delivery is simple, direct, more old school, and this is an old song from 2000. When it comes to Limp Bizkit it's really about the theme/message, and the sound that creates a certain vibe.
