Limp Bizkit ft. John Rzeznik "Wish You Were Here"

[@Zefirestone]

This is from a concert in New York City just a few weeks after 9/11/2001. Smoke from the ruins was still drifting across lower Manhattan. Many great artists took part, but Limp Biskit singing this song was the heart-wrenching moment..."wish you were here"....for all the friends, neighbors, family members we lost that day.

[@JaytheCraze]

I was a high school senior that year, watching this and it hitting like bricks out of nowhere - all the lyrics seemed to so eerily address every aspect of what had happened and then the emotion of “wish you were here”- on the day I am writing this is the first time I have watched it since despite recalling it often. It’s just how I remember. Feels like we are back full circle to ... well... I will leave my thoughts at that- all the souls we lost these last 20 years...

Fred is such a talented vocalist. Actually each member of LB is beyond talented. It pisses me off that people sit around all day on their computers, eating potato chips, hating on these guys. Fred rarely ever misses a note live, every show. & his voice still sounds amazing after all these years and they still put out dope music that stays true to their sound..honestly, what more can a fan ask for. These guys are perfect musicians.

[@MKHLX]

i feel you brother. no one can argues bizkit talent. from fred's scream and rapping. Wes, Sam, Otto and lethal on their respective instrument. May be people just cant accept how they fuse metal and hip hop that really turned out well. what if they choose to be a heavy metal band would people still hate them? i bet not

[@LeadTheParadeMusic]

They're so gifted as musicians they could probably play any genre and pull it off. But for as much talent and the fact that they have yet to put out a disappointing album people just hate way too much for no reason.

[@MKHLX]

LeadTheParadeMusic i think its more bcoz of their genre (nu metal/rapcore) is taking over during the late 90's. people more from the 80s fans of thrash metal really hated and cant accept it. i had to admit LB got some non sense lyrics or fred's generic rap but talent wise no one can argue they can give energy and groove.

[@compelleddestroy8160]

You are exactly right. people hate cause they have confidents and talent to prove it. best stuff ever.

[@slimybakertv]

LeadTheParadeMusic Yeah Fred is definitely talented as well as Wes Borland, the issue that people have with Fred is that he's way more egotistic then rockers are used to, he has a rapper personality and it for some reason really pisses rockers off.

[@mr_kokren6979]

I dont think people realize how good of a singer John Rzeznik is. I mean bro has to be the most criminally underrated singers out there. He can bring a really good emotional or uplifting tone to the table no matter wha. I see a lot of people just glazing fred but no one is mentioning John once in these comments.

This is why Fred Durst is so massively underrated. All of Limp Bizkit is underrated. But Fred gets so much hate, even though he has one of the most unique, authentic styles.

It’s cuz of Eminem’s reference in one of his songs, is my guess. Tbh I didn’t know who Fred Durst was at the time I heard him mentioned. So if that’s your first recollection hearing someone’s name, it clouds your opinion.

Limp bizkit and Fred Durst especially have that special thing that he is not the best singer at all but when he makes covers he brings up a whole different song (wish you were here, behind blue eyes, home sweet home/bittersweet symphony). It is quite regular to see a guy copy a song in a purist way, but bringing something of your own is not the same. Beautiful version.

[@NyLiUndrGrnd]

Its very difficult to take a cover and make it your own. Not many artists can do that! Those that can are on another level. I still love Faith even though its been over played a billion times. It took that song to another level and opened it to a whole new generation!

If I recall correctly, this particular video first aired on tv nationwide as part of a tv special just after the 9/11 tragedy in New York City. This song was always great, and these guys were always great, but this song + these guys = AWESOME, especially given the timing of it when so many folks had lost their lives. When they sing "we just need your help" and Johnny looks down but Fred looks straight at the camera, they managed to capture the tragic need of the moment's victims better than anyone else did. And when they sang "so glad you're here" and Fred looks over at Johnny, it was just a really special moment that made me cry. Love love love this. I've been a Goo Goo Dolls fan and a Limp Bizkit fan for a long time. Thanks guys, for helping us all through such a horrible time in the lives of all Americans.

Watching this at the time was such a surreal experience. It was on all the major networks, everyone was still so shook up and not sure what was going to happen next. and this tribute came on with none of the usual applause or commercials, just silence when each artist finished performing. That was the right thing to do, but after years of watching tv shows, it felt so strange. This song and Tom Petty singing I Won't Back Down touched me the most that night--this for the loss of lives and Tom's for the anger so many of us felt after the attack. Both songs had the artists looking straight at the camera to make sure the message was received.
