LIMP BIZKIT'S new album "Gold Cobra" hits stores next Tuesday. It's their first album with their original line-up in 11 YEARS, since "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" came out in 2000. Singer FRED DURST admits that it took a little while for them to get back into the groove after they reunited in 2009, and there's an AWESOME reason why. It's this: NO ONE in the band actually likes the kind of music Limp Bizkit plays. But rather than argue and struggle to find a new direction, they all just agreed to suck it up and accept what Limp Bizkit is.
Fred explains, "The epiphany was, we've got to own who we are and stay true to what we are. We're a rap-rock band. We're Limp Bizkit. We might individually like different things, and none of us listen to rap-rock, but when we get together in a band room, that's what we make. There's no reason to search and find a newer Limp Bizkit or an evolved style or fit the radio format. I don't think we have to prove anything. We just have to own it."
