false. might have been true for your small insular western-PA high school, but it didn't happen in the rest of the country. limp bizkit mattered to 14-year-olds who thought they deserved more allowance then they were already getting.

now sweetie. Limp Bizkit did sell 14 million records in those 3 years. Twice as many as Blink 182, and more records than Coldplay has sold in their entire career.

and i dont think theres that many people in Western PA.

they mattered, in a time we'd rather forget about, they mattered.

I think that everyone should decide which festival to go to based on ticket price

wait a minute…then it would be all about the money…just like those greedy promoters

Uh oh with this statement that means the tickets are going to cost a shitload this year.

Yeah, Seth, please make us cream our pants with that lineup, ok? :D

LB are in competition with b-182 and coldplay - sweet.

according to wikipedia (and i'm too lazy to confirm it elsewhere), "Coldplay have been one of the most commercially successful acts of the new millennium, selling over 30 million albums." not that i'm saying that coldplay "matters" either.

and lest we think album sales mean anything, celine dion has sold over 200 million albums.

One's feelings about the importance of Limp Bizkit is directly proportional to one's feeling about the lasting cultural significance of TRL during the Carson Daly years.

Yes LB constantly got voted into the countdown. Yes LB got idiots who don't really like music fired up at the turn of the century. Yes Wes Borland seemed to have some talent and made a proto-KFed a big star . . . but history has no use for them.

sorry, i omitted the US Sales part. In America, since this is the country we live in, Limp Bizkit has sold more records than Coldplay.

and for 3 years, yes, they mattered (not anymore, but they did)in pop culture, just cause you werent part of that, doesnt mean it didnt happen.

sorry!

100 bucks a day makes me miss the days of hfstivals where the ticket price was no more than 30 bucks and that included those damn ticketmaster fees.

Granted, I do understand why the 100 bucks a day when there were some major legendary headliners. I'm just worried that with the price of tickets plus the price of gas, i just won't be able to squeeze it this year. It sucks that the economy is so closely dictating what I'm doing for the summer.

while expensive, i do think last years v-fest was worth the money i paid. i had a great time. and i usually hate outdoor festivals.

How can you say history has no use for them? Or KOrn? or Hoobastank? Granted the gay hair metal shit is coming back in a way with all the gay emo/scene/scremo shit, but why the HELL would anyone want to see the rap-rock craze come back? THey served their purpose and that's that.

versus what: indoor festivals?

I love festivals, a chance to see bands during the day and not after 11pm.

Actually, wouldn't it be hilarious if Limp Bizkit got booked at the most uber-indie festival? You could have Radiohead and Beck headline, but the bill would include PJ Harvey, Aphex Twin, Arcade Fire, Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective, Yo La Tengo and the Shins. And there would be reunions from the Stone Roses and Pavement. Minor Threat will get on the bill at the 11th hour, but the real shock is when a massive toilet bowl is rolled onto the stage and Limp Bizkit emerge and play "Rollin (Air Raid Vehicle)". Now there's a show to blow your mind.

it'd be more realistic to be surprised by the appearence of say Ian Brown and not a reformed Stone Roses. Say him AND Jarvis Cooker - that'd be bliss - Limp could crawl back into that toilet for all I care.

I'm getting to see Jarvis at Pitchfork :D

Hey Seth,

It's only a couple more days until the announcement. Can we get any hints? Please? We're so bored we've resorted to Limp Bizkit discussion.

And you know, in case you haven't booked one of his bands, Josh Homme (QOTSA, EODM) has collaborated with both Dave Grohl and Trent Reznor. Just sayin'.

You should have seen Pulp the last time they played the 9:30 club which, I believe, was about thirteen years ago. Some annoying girl kept throwing Hershey's kisses at Jarvis and saying "America's got kisses for you, Jarvis!"

I think they played "Mile End", too.

Yeah Seth give us some clues or something. Better be good as Lollapalooza.
