Regretting The Past: Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water

[@LukeLeonettiYouTube]

“My Way” was so popular because it was used by WWE to build up The Rock vs Steve Austin at WrestleMania 17

[@CunningCondor]

We should start a petition for an instrumental release of this album.

+anonymous dumbfuk1976 I highly suggest you listen to Black Light Burns, which is Wes Borland's other band. He is the lead frontman as well. They have a more industrial sound to them, but hey, worth a listen.

[@JimmyKingster]

Even as a huge Limp Bizkit fan for years and years I have to agree to some extent that Fred is the flaw of the band. He's the one who made them that popular undeniably, for good and bad, but the rest is masters of their instruments. Even with that tho, I need to say that LB needs to be taken with a grain of salt, they were never meant to be "serious" except their debut release, which is still the best imo. I gladly listen to the Bizkit tho, they've been a part of my life and helped me through some rough shit and I'll never forget that. I'm slowly starting to grow away from them tho, but still love the music and listen to it from time to time. I did when I was 13 and I'm doing it now when I'm 23.

[@vernuf444]

"Even as a huge Limp Bizkit fan for years and years" But you got better, right? "I'm slowly starting to grow away from them tho, but still love the music and listen to it from time to time. " Oh, you're not quite there yet. I'm sorry.

[@xlixity]

Your comment needs more exposure. I also used to jam to LB a lot as a kid and I will always have a soft spot for them, despite their (mostly Fred's) flaws.

[@jarrettpennington4579]

JimmyKingster I am 36 and still enjoy this album. I remember when it cam out, right when I was out of highschool and me and my friends also got big into Significant Other. I agree that Durst is the kinda low point to this band.....but could you actually hear the same songs with someone else as the frontman? I can't. Besides that observation, it can go without saying that Wes, Otto and Sam are all incredibly talented musicians and along with DJ Lethal they bring a level of atmosphere to their songs that would just be standard NuMetal in the hands of anyone else. I have not heard anything past this album and I also have never heard their first album either but I think Significant Other and Chocolate Flavored Water.....were lightning in a bottle for that time period and for me, still hold up to this day.

[@MacanWigit]

I am not ashamed that the first time I grab the mic on stage was to do LB cover back in middle school with the baggy pants and red cap. Three Dollar Bill Y'all and Significant Others were great albums and I would argue for hours to defend them, sadly I can't say the same about Chocolate Starfish. This is probably their most known album and as a fan I lament that. The band released better material before (and arguably later). As a vocalist I learned a lot from Fred, especially about how to carry the crowd, to build energy, to sound convincing even though you can't sing to save your life. But the most precious lesson I learned from Fred is what things not to do and what lyrics not to write.

[@genghiskhan2068]

100% man. The band was meant to just have fun with. People like this, who analyze even line with scrutiny, are missing the entire point of this band.

[@cruzcamel]

This is one of those bands that I'll always have to defend myself for liking. But to this day I still love how needlessly bratty LB was. Sure it was whiney, but that's exactly how they wanted to sound. I dunno, I'm probably alone, but I still really like them.

Honestly, same. But i do think Still Sucks is a legitimately decent album.

[@SWEGTA2]

- Regarding the chocolate starfish thing, Fred Durst called himself that because that's what a lot of people were reffering to him as: "An asshole." - The riping off from Nine Inch Nails was not just they being lazy, it was Fred Durst retaliating, because Trent Reznor had talked crap about Limp Bizkit a few times in the past. He also got credited (whether he liked it or not) for lyrics on Hot Dog. - Fred Durst did provide backup vocals, but the main vocalist on "Hold On" was actually Scott Weiland.

[@ciredark]

Durst had to actually pay royalties to Reznor for using the amount of lyrics he did. What was originally intended as a "diss" ended up putting money in the targets pocket. That's how dumb Fred Durst is.

[@thecultofwilliamfredrickdu4067]

[@CrashThompson]

Dude, I think you nailed it pretty well here! Borland was able to create some very catchy riffs and choruses and Sam Rivers is killing it on the bass on this album. Hell even John Otto's drums are punchy and varied enough to keep things interesting. There are some really decent songs buried in this album. It's just too bad they're completely soured by Fred "46-fucks-IS-NOT-ENOUGH-FUCKS" Durst. It's a shame that such talented musicians had no better option that to latch on to this sinking ship. The rest of this band really did have potential, and I think that's what a lot of people saw in them. That's why we tolerated Durst's "wah-wah" bullshit for so long. There was actually a pretty good band beneath all of the gimmicky garbage, but the gimmicky garbage was what always seemed to rise to the top with these guys. Back in the day I would have LOVED to see these guys pull an Alter Bridge and try something with a vocalist that didn't have his head buried so far up his own ass that he he could create a Fibonacci Sequence with his intestinal tract. Separate from Durst's worst qualities there is a band worth remembering and celebrating here... But Durst was always the key figure to this band, so doing that is pretty much an impossibility. Ugh... Seriously though, excellent work with this episode. Sincerely looking forward to more. Cheers!

"Why did this sell so well?" Our parents hated the band, and that is what drove us to seek it out even more. Kids couldn't tell the difference between complaining, and insight and simply saw Fred as this voice of the non-conformist Y2K generation, much like Cobain was in the early 1990's. Only we were to naive to really see the lyrics as anything other than empty complaints and angst.

I like Limp Bizkit. They're a good band. And I mean all of them. Even Fred Durst. They wouldn't be Limp Bizkit without Fred Durst. Wes Borland's an incredibly creative guitar player who uses his guitar in unique ways. Rivers, Otto and Lethal (ex-Limp Bizkit) are all talented. The shit that Durst gets is a bit too much. He's not some opera singer but he can sing melodically. He can rap, scream, sing with a strong rasp etc. He's good at what he does and it suits Limp Bizkit. He can write intelligent lyrics and silly fun lyrics as well. I like every album that Limp Bizkit's put out. I also like Nickelback and Creed. I also like Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Dire Straits, Norah Jones, Celine Dion, Hoobastank, Trivium, Lamb Of God, Bach, and John Williams. All kinds of music. I'd regret the past if there were no Bizkit.

Just goes to show you, nobody truly hates Limp Bizkit. We all just hate Fred Durst, lol. Alot of this album actually has true potential if it wasn't for his constant complaining and "rap" attempts. But don't get me wrong though. They were one of my top 5 bands back then, with this particular album being in my top 3. If I had to think, my top 5 bands and albums back then (in no order) were Limp Bizkit - Choco Starfish, Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory, Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler, Korn - Issues, and Disturbed - The Sickness.

Also, Fred Durst is a pathetic manchild, and Wes Borland is a douchebag as well

[@mrred773]

xHeavenHelpUsAll7771x But he puts on that guise by choice. Limp Bizkit is a mockery of the stereotypes that nu metal and rap bring to mind. Fred is a down to earth person, at least in interviews... He might not be one of the most amazing musicians out there, but I dare say that he has my respect, because he does believe in promoting music he sees as good. Plus, let's look at it this way: He says he isn't conforming, and on the surface he's definately conforming to a lot. But look at how much strange stuff they do. With not only the experimentation of Borland, but the repulsive and malignant lyricism of Fred. Fred is a provokator, and his way of not conforming is by making people hate his guts and by making music that very few people appreciate. So... You're letting Fred have the last laugh by hating on him.

[@LMC-xz6qh]

Mr Red I don't really care about who has the last laugh, also he has it since the moment he became a millionaire. Also, I don't think his objective is to make music very few people appreciate. I mean, Limp Bizkit sold millions of records worldwide and play at sell out venues for thousands of people. If he wanted to make music very few people would appreciate, he would have turned into a harsh noise guy

[@mrred773]

xHeavenHelpUsAll7771x But listen to the pure, ironic vapidity of Chocolate Starfish's lyrics. His lyricism on those tracks is terrible, the first song on the album is just a bunch of swears. That deters the metal audiences, because it's - let's face it, it's stupid. And then there is the metal side of things, which is some pretty strong nu metal if you ask me. But it's still metal - Metal doesn't appeal to a mass audience, so the mainstream audiences don't like it all that much. Mean sure some might, but they're a minority. And so, it sorta... Sorta comes down to the minority who actually liked them, the kids. They were edgy, silly, mindless fun, just what the millenial doctors ordered. They bought the album, made Limp Bizkit famous, and even though they were a minority, they were still relatively large. And bam, new metalheads were created, as well as Fred's empire. I'm not saying they're good, because musical taste is based on what it makes you feel - its subjective. I like them, but I know they aren't liked. But lemme say that Limp Bizkit created new metalheads at a time when metal was starting to wane - the mid to late 90's. So they inspired legions of new people who listened to more metal. Like it or not, Limp Bizkit are an important part of metal. Then again, I'm probably rambling. You're probably right that they aren't a band about making music few people will appreciate... But I think they're a band about not conforming, not even to metalhead ideals. For that I have to respect them.

you look like a friend i would have had in high school and i mean that in the best way possible. i miss my friends :(

[@absolutepsyvids4444]

This album was the first i ever bought !I really love this band and this album! It's a great album,why all this hate?

[@ЕгорФомичев-г5о]

+absolutepsyvids4444 WHY?...Simple, it just got much more attention than it ever deserved.

[@avivmeshil2653]

Cause hate is all the world that has ever seen lately

[@epicogrelord4417]

Imagine if David draiman or Chad Gray got their hands on some of these riffs

[@thesilverhawaiian5024]

It sold so well because limp bizkit actually had some bangers in the 90s but after the 90s they lost it

[@andrewvanhalen1984]

There is good nu metal, but most of it came from the first wave (1994-99). The nu metal I like is the weird and experimental stuff from bands like korn, sepultura (roots), early deftones, early soulfly, coal chamber, SOAD, early slipknot, drowning pool, and even early bizkit. Nu metal turned shitty when it became frat boy music and when it started playing on wwe, ecw, nfl etc. It turned shitty when people mixed it with post-grunge.

[@Abel-Alvarez]

+ajmaroudas what about linkin park (2000-2003)and early 2000s disturbed?

[@andrewvanhalen1984]

+abel alvarez them too lol

[@andrewvanhalen1984]

+TL;DR Man You're right I forgot to mention them lol

[@Abel-Alvarez]

***** whats wrong with meteora (2003)?

[@Abel-Alvarez]

***** how can you say "somewhere i belong,faint,and numb" are unmemorable?

[@silverback9572]

My Way was the theme song for WrestleMania XVII. I’ll admit, even though I don’t like Limp Bizkit, the hype package with The Rock & Stone Cold was awesome, & My Way fit perfectly

[@B69ne]

boiler and hold on are my favorite tracks from this album and this album is not something to regret. nostalgia is a hard drug to kick.

[@dsiii98]

same to me this albums still fun to listen to just don’t take it too seriously

[@Ziomaletto]

Fred Durst: I'm the biggest crybaby in the entire rock industry! Robb Flynn: Amateur...

[@jeremydavenport6373]

I bet an instrumental version would be pretty cool.

[@Miguel7456lmkuutti]

I can't believe how you completely neglected to mention how "My Generation" is an obvious reference to that The Who song with the same name. Especially because they made the cover of "Behind Blue Eyes" as well. Not the topic of the video, granted, but you were going on about the suckiness of the album without much content anyway...

[@debonaire_nerd]

"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind." William Shakespeare "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Abraham Lincoln "A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity." Dalai Lama "Shut the fuck up! And back the fuck up, while we fuck this track up!" Fred Durst

[@KalaschniKlown]

I personally think why Chocolate Starfish and Results May Vary sold so well, is just because of the success of Significant Other. Limp Bizkit became a easily recognisable band after significant other, and I’m guessing Fred knew this album was gonna sell well because the name Limp Bizkit was in the album cover so he didn’t care about the name It’s like Limp Bizkit could make the most offensive album of all time and it would still sell millions of copies Like for example in the early 2000's let’s say Fred would write the most derogatory lyrics you can think of and it would sell like a Tool album So early 2000's logic, if it has Limp Bizkit associated it will sell like a atomic bomb in Japan

[@brpadington]

Limp Tuesday made me spit my drink all over my monitor.. dammit.

[@DavidAtomic]

You reviwed this album and survived? I'll subscribe in the name of the guts you got to listen to an album like this and never throwing up

[@Jordan-hs5kf]

***** Bah, get that weaksauce out of my face. Back when I was attempting to be a music reviewer I listened though ALL of LMFAO's Sorry For Party Rockin'....the PTSD flashbacks still remain.

[@superstarthomas]

+DavidAtomic lol XD

[@SadikiStGeorgeangemon44]

+Rocked Reviews to be quite honest Limp Bizkit isn't so bad, sure they've really decreased in quality but there still pretty good

[@SaltandPepperFreak]

+Matthew Cool That's your opinion but I would say Limp Bizkit did way better than From Ashes to New. I really don't like this band and it's modern style.

[@Abel-Alvarez]

+Rocked Reviews what are your thoughts on 3 DOLLAR BILL YALL and SIGNIFICANT OTHER (the other two limp bizkit albums before C.S.F.A.T.H.D.F.W)

[@ggezlel]

As a bizkit fan, I can say that their best era was in 1997-1999

[@NicklasZandeVGCP2001]

If these songs were done by Linkin Park, which unlike Limp Bizkit was actually genuinely good, or if Evenscence did it, then it would've been tolerable. Probably because they are actually competent at writing lyrics.

[@Csnich96]

Linkin Park are just emo limp bizkit. At least Limp Bizkit know how to have fun and party

[@nightmarefanatic1819]

I was reading this book today called The History of Metal. In the Nü Metal section, the author mentioned that they chose the name Limp Bizkit because they wanted to purposely repel people. In a footnote, he said upon hearing that his drummer asked "Then what's the music for?"

[@maxpalmer3212]

My way My generation ROLLIN (Air raid vehicle) are my favorites from this album

[@MaartenBlij]

I never knew that limp bizkit actually has some talent behind that screaming little girl.

[@Mortalstefan]

People stopped being able to have fun and be silly... Miss limp bizkit. Now everythin has to be serious and dramatic

[@austinbouliane5707]

This is my favorite album of all time. Do not judge.

[@SoulforSale]

Well ... Three Dolla Billz Y'all was better

[@user-mb1ki1zs8p]

Austin Bouliane it’s a fucking good album fuck everybody’s opinion most of them just hate caus wits trendy to hate

[@jonaha.k.ashazam2535]

Just because this guy hates the album doesn’t mean it’s true it was all his opinion. Like the album all you want man.

[@RyanWright]

band plays: "this is decent." Durst opens his mouth: "OMG, this sucks!"

[@princealigorna7468]

What did you think of Black Light Burns, Borland's post-Limp band? I certainly thought they were an improvement. Borland was already the creative force behind Limp, so giving him the ability to stretch out was always going to yield interesting results

[@Metaltalk41]

Love em or hate em you can't deny Rollin was a badass entrance theme for Taker

[@papazepp1279]

Watching this I remembered that my cousin still owns a copy of this... The guy is in his mid 40s...

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

When this album released I was in like 11th grade I think, and almost every kid at my school had this album. Kids with cars would aimlessly drive around town blaring the fuck out of it to let everyone know what a badass they were. Since pretty much all teens are whiny little shits who complain constantly and just enjoy being all-around annoying assholes, it becomes clear why this album so well. I also used to be an angsty special snowflake and had some great nights of getting high and a bit drunk while cursing around with a few good friends. This album is nostalgic and has a hidden track at the end with Durst talking with Ben Driller while smoking some weed (or they implied they were anyway). We used to laugh like idiots while getting high ourselves, learning the term coined by Stiller called "Limpin' with the Bizkit" among other shit. This cringy-ass album might be a joke these days, but it still holds a ton on of nostalgic value.

[@marc5445]

Still love this album. Stupid escapism with amazing riffs and dance along beats.

[@henryconner3002]

Moral of the story: Fred Durst is the least talented member of Limp Bizkit. Also Limp Bizkit translates to Weak Cookie

[@brandonlink7471]

Facts.

[@Matt-sl1wg]

This video makes me so happy I pay no attention to lyrical meaning. Boiler is one of my all-time favs.

[@definitelyjustcj4148]

Whatever anyone says Limp Bizkit was the stuff back then and I’ll always remember that 😂

[@joshhale9355]

Legit, I stopped thinking Undertaker was a badass when he used "Rollin" as an entrance theme. American Badass Taker was a massive mistake.

[@joshmorris1637]

I love Limp Bizkit I'm a fan they're one of my favorites, but I do value and respect for opinion on them. I also think Fred got a little too whiny on Chocolate Starfish and in my opinion I think Fred was just really consumed by the fame and fortune after the success of Significant Other and like I said that's my opinion you can disagree with all you want I don't care

[@masonpelzer8052]

I got this cd for $3 at goodwill I also got toxicity by System of a Down

[@timroloff1452]

wow. I really am the only one that likes Limp Bizkit. I liked them back then. I like them now.

[@МирославКръстев-с7и]

Florida man ruins every single song he raps on, still wins millions.

[@darthbeach100]

I still hear My Way on the radio regularly now in 2017. Thanks WEBN.

[@theultimatestickman450]

I have my opinion's I like this album

[@ericksheldon3870]

I refuse to believe this video is almost six years old... good god, time flies...

[@raeparks81rp]

For me, Limp Bizkits success was the band. It was the music my friends and I enjoyed. Honestly, Durst could've disappeared and so long as the band remained to continue making music, I think they would've been fine. But that's just my opinion of it... Plus, Rollin' was awesome to dance to when out at a nightclub. Drunk or high, mind you, but still a lot of fun.

[@mattbabineau]

Dude. Bizkit rules!! Those first 3 records we absolute bangers!

[@eeeeewewew]

My way is good. If you are a wrestling fan go watch the Austin Rock wrestlemsnia 17 video.

[@curlykiddd]

I tend to stay inside my own bubble of music. Progressive metal, folk metal, complex jazz, folk rock, symphonic metal, video game remixes...pretty much anything BUT mainstream popular music. If I had a nickel every time I've been asked how I don't know X celebrity exists, I could rent a used car. This video series, along with Rap Critic and Todd in the Shadows, remind me why I stay inside my burrow and almost never leave. However, I will say this: A lot of rap and pop serves a function: Dancing. Seriously, a song you hate on the radio becomes godly when you're at a party. I've actually grown to appreciate many of the brainless pop and rap songs I usually hate purely by going to someone's sweet 16 in high school. I feel that in many cases, the usefulness of such a song is as much due to the artist's flow as it is to the quality of the beat. Say what you will about the lyrics in this train wreck, but at least Fred Durst has a flow you can get behind and groove to.

[@Frahamen]

Thank god I didn't knew English in 2000

[@panick_9550]

Its coming up on 5 years of RTP next year 😀😀😀😀 Thanks dude for doing these and entertaining us

[@panick_9550]

Its nostolga critic but for music and i love it!

[@liammcnicholas918]

This album is on 1001 Albums To Hear Before you Die, a book with Pink Floyd and the Beatles!!!! How come this is on the list, but anything from Sublime's discography is not?
