🎵 Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes REACTION

[@p8triotmode]

I fricken love this cover....always have.

[@sparks5063]

So underrated!

[@thirday44]

Yesterday this song popped up on my radio, I've never heard their version. My hand reached to change the station, but it stopped short. OMG!!!! I absolutely love it. I just purchased it. WOW

[@Bike_Lion]

@@sparks5063 - The left out an important part of the song though.

[@laurenisboo]

This was originally done by the band “ The Who”.. growing up listening to the song done by “The Who “was always awesome, but Limp Bizkit puts a different spin on it.For me the female vocal is really cool.

[@markdraine3571]

Huge Who fan. Millie. Do not like it..The pace is wrong and it sounds like s Green Day song..The "And I beg you " sounds cheesy ..The whole thing sounds like by the numbers as in "Let's do a great ,iconic song and maybe make some bucks ,." The last part of the song with the changed lyrics..? An absolute , horrific mess...

[@Whats-It-To-Ya]

Nailed it. Way better than the original. The Who was an extremely overrated band along with the rest of that English invasion garbage. Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones are the exception, both super talented groups. The Who? Definitely not. I'm happy for Limp Bizkit, they tried something different and they sold a trillion records. Very successful. I seen these guys in Philly and it was amazing.

I agree too, it brought the younger generation to older classics with a modern twist🤘

[@himynameis3664]

"Hold on" is another mellow limp bizkitt song where it's not what you'd expect from them

[@richard_n]

Limp Bizkit is another band that gets a lot of undeserved hate. They had several really good songs. You should check out Take A Look Around, it was the theme song for Mission Impossible 2. It's a really good song.

[@Daffmeister187]

That's their most underrated song by far imo, both in terms of lyrics and instruments.

[@eldiego68]

It’s an average band imho but this is a great cover

[@gthewolf7948]

@@Daffmeister187 this Song is of The Who not LB

[@Sykdude]

I like LB too, even when I was in high school. But Fred Durst and his antics were obnoxious back in the day.

This is on the soundtrack for the movie Gothiica with Hallie Berry

[@willblood7082]

“Reminds me of taking field trips“… god, I love Lex 😂😂😂

[@anthonyleger68]

They actually do a pretty good job of covering this song. I'm not a big fan of covers in general, but this one is not too shabby. Another great reaction, you two.

[@jen-a-purr]

I heard this after I watched the film “Gothika” with Halle Berry. Great cover.

[@Daffmeister187]

This cover seems deeply personal, having been a fan on them way back. Fred and most of the band were kinda big goofs and didn't take themselves too seriously while making nu-metal which a lot of old school fans disapprove(d) of for how it incorporates different elements that are uncommon in metal (rap and turn-tables mainly). Them not taking themselves seriously while being in a generally controversial genre led to people dismissing their music as not having any artistic quality and made Fred kind of a joke in the business, dismissed by alot of people who would have been fans had they had the same sound but a different image, Fred stepped back more from the public spotlight and wasn't as visible a figure later. I think it was his way of telling people how he felt.

[@loristone9242]

Preach

[@joemachine4714]

Well, maybe it was because he never changed his hat 😐

[@toolfan302]

listen to new album. banger.

[@Eggyyolks]

It really does seem that it was a personal message he was sending at the time. Completely agree and I think it's what makes this cover so good, is it actually had meaning.

[@BKLYN_TZU]

The reason why this cover sounds so similar & strip back like the original Who version is because this was on the Hallie Berry movie Gothika OST

[@DaP84]

How is it the reason? lol Cause they didn't make the song for the movie. They just made an album that experimented with a lot of different sounds and styles

[@BKLYN_TZU]

@@DaP84 DaP84 simple it doesn't sound like the typical Limp Bizkit song you know there's a difference on writing music for a soundtrack for a movie is different to creating songs for an album you know there two different approaches the songs for the movie may fit a certain scene to give the scene more emotion.

[@DaP84]

@@BKLYN_TZU but they didn't make it just for the movie soundtrack, did they? Couldn't find any information on it. And the fact that the album plays around with lots of different sounds

[@DaP84]

@Master Kush I'm just assuming based on lack of info and the reasonable explanstion for unusual LB sound (cause it was an album full of unusual LB sounds with minimal rap). I think the music vid mixes movie scenes with exclusive ones for the mv, Fred directed it himself.

[@1987colombiano]

Here in Portugal this was played so many times on the radio around 2004

[@redrollins8346]

So glad y'all checked this one out! DUUUUUUVVVVVAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the reactions!!!

[@warrenk5101]

Underrated cover tune by LB. Fred had a better voice than what he was credited for.

[@GC0077]

Agreed. I saw Limp Bizkit in San Antonio. He's incredible.

[@glynnkarber9204]

Yes!! I don't have much knowledge on this but Fred always kills it. 🔥

[@mosoho]

This cover is SO much better than their cover of Faith. It really showed off Fred’s voice.

[@jasoncar1469]

Fait was their attention grabber though, it launched their mainstream career. I was listening to them for a couple years before all of a sudden put of nowhere some of my friends were telling me about this crazy new band that covered Faith. I was like dude I have owned that album for like 2 years.

[@JamesHoffa1]

does it show off his red hat

[@mosoho]

@@JamesHoffa1 every Limp Bizkit song shows off Fred’s red hat! 😆

[@ShaughnRichardson]

Cover faith

[@mangleman25]

Faith was a fun cover in that it took what the original did and went a completely different direction with it. LB's cover of Behind Blue Eyes is different in that it's closer to the original while trying to bring a more fitting tone, and both succeed imo.

[@camilletimlin4509]

I was lucky enough to experience this live, many years ago. 2003-2004 Kansas City 💕 I went for Metallica, but was pleasantly surprised by limps performance.

[@BumKnuckle]

To be honest, I've never cared too much for Limp Bizkit, but I admit I was completely blown away when they released this cover of The Who' classic. Somehow (at least in my opinion) they not only made it their own, but they also did it better!!!

[@paintedhorse6880]

Same here.

Top 5 best covers of all time

[@GC0077]

"To be fated, to telling only lies... " that line is so powerful! To me, the lies he's telling are constantly saying that he's ok. This cover is the best version... i love it.

[@scottrackley4457]

This fits perfectly with some on the spectrum, always acting.

[@Draco83449]

Original from The Who. Daltry used to get into frequent fights, mostly in bars. But the attitude was there. Limp B did an awesome cover especially the final count singing ( discover). Love your reactions. Stay Safe🤘

[@deanthompson6942]

Listen to the original , Rogers voice is the power behind those blue eyes.

[@davidobrien3600]

That is a fact of life and no one can compare to Rodger Daltrey and The Who. It was smart for them to do a slow version because they could have never kicked it up with the same power as The Who and Rodger singing

[@jennaowens6008]

Love this cover!!! I'm usually a stickler for the originals. But this blows it out of the water. You should add Hate Me by Blue October to your list.

[@GC0077]

Hell yeah!!! This cover is the best version... PERIOD.

[@Kamittoo]

Ya'll should always do the original first, The Who originally which is an amazing song

[@metalmark1214]

This is an actual good cover of the original Who song. Check out the original by the Who to make a comparison.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I've never heard this version before and I agree, this is not what I would have expected from them, and they didn't even rock it out halfway through like The Who does on the original from the early 1970s. Guys, you absolutely have to hear the original version; it's such a beautiful song and it was such a huge hit. It was written by the guitar player Pete Townsend, although their front guy Rodger Daltrey still sings it. And crazy Keith Moon (RIP) on the drums sits out for that whole acoustic first section and then they all just start rocking hard to finish the song out. Here is a link to live footage of them performing it so you can see what they look like in their heyday and it is paired with the studio cut, so you get the best of both worlds. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3KVq4J6qpahgNk

This song was covered in 2003 at the time when he had a crush and was so much into Britney Spears and his feeling were hurt that much that he was listening to some music one day at the time and bumped into the original song of who, that song really hit him at that point to make a cover of it and making it a true masterpiece!!

The who are the original wild boys of Rock.. Acdc singer Brian tells a story of being at a who gig. And after went to meet Roger daltrey at his home for a party. And when Roger finally turned up in this suburban street in London, he was shirt open chest out riding a horse bareback like a true rock god.🤣🤟😎.

[@davidpahlka6301]

Never heard this version and they sort of mellowed it out compared to the Who's version. The song is about an IRA terrorist which someone said Pete Towsend was writing but never finished. He was trying to get inside a killer's mind, making his a little more human.

[@leemp337]

Limp Bizkit puts out amazing live shows.

[@briankarcher8338]

Another great cover by them is Limp Bizkit-Home Sweet Home/Bitter Sweet Symphony. Technically a cover of two songs that they combined.

The original version by the Who is oh, so much better! Now in their late 70's, the Who is touring now and sang this song on one of the late night talk shows two weeks ago! The Who at its 1960's-early 1970's best is tough to beat for excitement.
