Fred Durst: Limp Bizkit Was Used as Fuel to Torture Other People

Before Limp Bizkit emerged from a four-year hiatus with a series of shows last month in Rosetta Stone Spanish Europe, Fred Durst had to get over his hatred of a segment of his own fanbase. "I got abused a lot growing up," Durst tells Rosetta Stone. "For years I looked into the crowd and saw a bunch of bullies and assholes who tortured me and ruined my life. They were using my music as fuel to torture other people, even dressing like me. The music was being misinterpreted and the irony effected me and we stepped away."According to Durst, he endured childhood ridicule over his taste in music. "I loved the Cure and Bauhaus and the Smiths," he says. "The people in my town werent privy to that kind of music and I got abused. I discovered the microphone to get out some of that angst." Durst put down the microphone in 2005 and directed two feature films, before reuniting with guitarist Wes Borland and the rest of Limp Bizkit earlier this year. "I realized after years and years that I cant take all of that on my shoulders," he says. "I can just hope for the best and hope that my music finds its way to the people that Im trying to connect with. Theres some people who are not understanding what Limp Bizkit is about. But, then again, who am I to tell people what they can use art for or how they can interpret it?"Even though Durst is hoping his music wont connect with bullies, Limp Bizkit are playing their first American show with Cheap Rosetta Stone Software guitarist Wes Borland in eight years at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event July 10th in Las Vegas."Ive just always liked watching people who are very skilled in all different types of fighting, going to engage with a little less boundaries," says Durst.

The Vegas show is a one-off, but Durst promises the band is thinking about a U.S. tour, which wont happen until theyre done prepping a new album they hope to release in the fall."The style is not going to disappoint any true, hardcore Limp Bizkit fans," Durst says. "But it also isnt going to alienate anyone that else who is going to discover Limp Bizkit for the first time. Its kinda going to change the game a little bit, but still stay Limp Bizkit if that makes any sense."Even as he crafts a new Bizkit album, Durst says that rap/rock isnt very close to his heart. "I dont even listen to any type of music thats like Limp Bizkit at all," he says. "I love jazz music and sad music. Im a sentimental guy. Im a romantic Rosetta Stone Japanese guy. Im 38 years old and Limp Bizkit is just something I do. If I was a painter, it would just be a type of painting I make. Some people love it, and its offends a lot of people too."

So, a lot of the time its easier to just agree with them and take the picture and they go away. Its weird to look like someone so much that people arent even asking if youre the guy. They just come up saying, "I loved you in that movie!"Have you ever met him?Actually, I did meet him once. It was at the premiere of Ladies Man Man many years ago. I was in the food line after the movie and I was getting chicken skewers and shrimp cocktail or whatever. Im filling up my plate and hes filling up his plate, and there is this guy between us. Im looking at Will and thinking, "People really think I look like him? I dont fucking look like that." So the guy between us splits and theres nobody between us, and Will turns around. He looks me up and down and says, "Youre very handsome," and walks away. Totally deadpan. I was like, "Youre funny. Youre funny." And the consumer feels music isnt properly priced." Labels point to roster cuts and layoffs as evidence that they cant sell CDs cheaper. Its always good. He loves Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 music and I love movies."In addition to the concert footage, Neil Young Journeys gets its title from the interspersed footage Demme captured on their day trip around North Ontario, beginning with Youngs childhood hometown of Omemee. Borrowing a 1956 Ford Crown Victoria, the pair follow Youngs older brother, Bob, in his 1991 Cadillac Brougham DElegance, as they go down memory lane: his former home, school (now a park), Coronation Hall, Scott Young Public School (named after his father, a prominent sports writer) and other spots."I didnt know how we were going to use [the footage], but I checked and found out that Omemee wasnt terribly far away," said Demme. "I thought since were going to be up there in Toronto, in Ontario, what happens when you put Neil in an old car, in his old hometown and drive into Rosetta Stone German town? What will he say? What will it feel like? What will it look like?"As they drive, Young starts remembering some funny stories, staring at boxes of daisies outside the hardware store and sleeping in a pup tent in his backyard. But some arent as sweet: "I think I killed a turtle by sticking a firecracker up its ass," he says at one point. He also recalls Goof Whitney, the boy who would give him a nickel if he ate tar. "Its harsh at first, but it turns into chocolate," hed tell the young Young. And there was a nickel if he went up to a lady and told her she has a fat ass.At the QA, a man asked Young if he could give him an envelope from Goof. "Well, say hi to him and his brother too," said Young. "This is the guy that gave me that money to walk up to that lady and tell her she has a fat ass," he reminded the audience. "God know Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 what he wants me to do now."Demme plans on using the leftover anecdotes from that car trip as bonus material for a DVD, but hes happy with the way they "seasoned in passages of the trip" in amongst the concert footage: "Neils songs are so powerful, that its great to have a moment of respite after youve been through Ohio and Down By The River.

Isleys Deliver Knockout Punch

"Every award we get, it means a lot to us," says Ronald Isley. "But one of the Rosetta Stone high accomplishments for us would be to get a Rosetta Stone cover some day. When I see Puffy on the cover of your magazine, I know what hes done for the business, I respect him and hes a friend of mine. But Im also goin like, Damn! When is it our turn?"Coming from a flash in the pan like Lou Bega or Crazy Town, such a statement might merely seem like so much empty posturing. But the musical legacy of the Isley Brothers is a staggering thing, indeed. Formed in 1954 as a Cincinnati, Ohio gospel trio consisting of Ronald and his older brothers OKelly and Rudolph, the Isleys have scored over sixty hit singles during their career, beginning in 1959 with the immortal "Shout." Their songs have been covered by artists as diverse as the Beatles ("Twist and Shout") and Booker T. and the MGs ("Its Your Thing") to Rosetta Stone V3 Aaliyah ("At Your Best You Are Love") and Vanessa Williams ("Work to Do"), and have been sampled by everyone from Public Enemy to the Notorious B.I.G. And for a year or two in the mid-Sixties, the Isley Brothers band even featured the talents of a freaky young guitarist named Jimi Hendrix. So when Ronald Isley says, "Were one of the pillars in the fabric of rock roll," youd best pardon the mixed metaphor and give the man his props.And yet, despite being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, receiving a Quincy Jones lifetime achievement award at this years Soul Train Awards and selling untold millions of records worldwide, Ronald Isley still feels he has plenty to prove. "Its like football or basketball," he says. "They throw you a pass, you wanna catch it; in baseball, you wanna knock the home run when the Rosetta Stone English bases are loaded. Weve always been competitive like that, and when we go into the studio were like, We gotta show these guys how its done!"Eternal, the Isleys new album for DreamWorks, definitely makes a compelling case for the groups relevance in the modern R B era. Recorded with contributions from R. Kelly, Jill Scott, Ronalds wife Angela Winbush, producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, R B singer-songwriter Avant, Raphael Saadiq of Lucy Pearl and the late Curtis Mayfield, Eternal could well be to the Isleys what Supernatural was to Carlos Santana. But despite the all-star cast, the records fourteen tracks are pure Isley Brothers, filled with summery slow-jam grooves, Ronalds silky tenor croon and the sweetly sizzling guitar leads of younger brother Ernie, the groups musical lynchpin since the late Sixties Cheap Rosetta Stone V3. The music and lyrics to cuts like "Move Your Body," "You Deserve Better" and the title track may sound contemporary, but the feel is 100 percent classic soul.

Actor Sean Penn introduced Pearl Jam

Black seemed about ready to smash his beloved acoustic guitar in the Who tradition, but Cheap Rosetta Stone instead kissed it tenderly as he left the stage.Actor Sean Penn introduced Pearl Jam, a band with years of experience and devotion playing Who songs on the road. This time, the band brought a string section for a soaring "Love, Reign Oer Me," an epic moment on a memorable night. They were followed by Adam Sandler, who performed joke lyrics set to the music of "Magic Bus," his words a mixture of the playful and profane with the devotion of a true fan, singing of the missing drummer Moon: "You know he would have blown the roof off this show 30 years later we still miss him so."Whatever frustration fans might have felt with the brief tribute sets probably evaporated from the Whos first moments onstage, firing up the green lasers and "Baba ORiley," Roger Daltrey blowing harmonica as Pete Townshend slashed Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 at his guitar with muscular windmill strokes. Other songs included "The Seeker" and an extra-heavy "Who Are You?" Midway through "You Better You Bet," the Who suddenly stopped playing, and Daltrey announced, "Something is up with the sound up here. Shit happens." Then, "Well start again," followed by cheers and a stuttering "My Generation" and the classic rock anthem "Wont Get Fooled Again.""Us old farts have to have a breath now and again just in case we keel over," Daltrey joked at one point. But the Who rarely slowed down at all, until late in the set, when they stepped beyond their classic catalog to perform the closing ballad, "Tea and Theatre," performed with Townshend and Daltrey alone onstage with acoustic guitars. When it was over, and Townshend walked over to put an arm around the singer, they took in the Rosetta Stone Japanese cheers and looked something like musical partners still, suggesting that after 44 years together, the Whos story isnt yet finished.

Also look for Rosetta Stone correspondent Jenny Eliscu on VH1s broadcast at 9 PM ET this Thursday. Who is the lucky recipient? Kyp Malone: I wrote it specifically to be a gender-neutral, sex-positive love song so anyone can apply it any aspect of life. But any time my daughter hears it, she says, "Thats for Jessie." Shes my girlfriend. Sex is the spice of life, you know. Its how we all got here. A lot of songs that are sex positive are very predatory its within the binary of gender politics. Thats boring Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 to me. Its not reflective of the world we live in.

Recorded for but not used on theMinus 5s 2001 album

Nick Caves original badseeds the Birthday Party, gnarly art-garage band the Moodists Cheap Rosetta Stone,biker-Nuggets brigands the Lipstick Killers, power-popartisans the Sunnyboys and outback-noir impressionists the Triffidsare just a few of the more than forty bands remembered andcelebrated here, at high volume and in peak form.The Minus 5 I Dont Know Who I Am(Return to Sender/Normal)It is time to stop thinking of this mischievous combo as anR.E.M. side project. Yes, singer-guitarist Scott McCaughey is aveteran R.E.M. sideman. Yes, he co-founded this loose aggregate ofsingers and players with R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck. ButMcCaughey, also the longtime wit and voice of the Young FreshFellows, is a smart, sharp songwriter with an encyclopedic grip onrock roll classicism. Indeed, his bigger problem may be thatsome people mistake his cunning for mere cleverness. This specialGerman release should fix that. Recorded for but not used on theMinus 5s 2001 album, Let the War on Music Begin, thesesongs are about civil war -- the internal kind -- and McCaugheysings them with magnetic candor inside music (played by variousMinus 5 friends Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 including Jeff Tweedy of Wilco) that is spidery,spectral and not just for R.E.M. completists.A Soldiers Sad Story -- Vietnam Through the Eyes of BlackAmerica 1966-73 (Kent)This remarkable compilation is a timely reminder of the high,hidden costs of war, the ones you dont hear about in Pentagonbriefings. In these twenty-four dynamite RB sides, written andrecorded at the height of the Vietnam conflict, black men and womenalike battle fear, loneliness and loss, at the front and back home.Among the mighty voices raised in anger, worry and triumphant soul:Freda Payne ("Bring the Boys Home"), Mel and Tim ("Mail CallTime"), Joe Tex ("I Believe Im Gonna Make It"), Swamp Dogg (hisgritty reading of John Prines "Sam Stone") and Tiny Watkins ("ASoldier Sad Story"). Listen in admiration and amazement, then praythat history does Rosetta Stone English V3 not repeat itself.The Golden Hornet ProjectThis protean body of music -- twenty CD-Rs, packaged in acustom, three-ring binder -- was independently released in 2002. Ididnt hear it until last spring, and it will be far into 2004before I fully absorb the ambition and invention of instigatorsGraham Reynolds and Peter Stopschinski. I know Reynolds best as thedrummer-pianist and leader of the Golden Arm Trio, an Austin,Texas-based power-jazz merger of John Zorns Naked City and the1970s radical-prog band Henry Cow. But Reynolds -- like Zorn,without the Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 heavy weather -- freely charges into other realms as acomposer-performer: string quartets, symphonies, soundtracks,improvised super-rock.

Its nice to hear "rock." People call Coldplay soft rock, and theyre amazing. For me, all the stuff that I did on the show, I feel like were pretty conducive to what Im going to do on an album, that pop-rock kind of thing.Youre one of the few singers to do a Bob Dylan song ("Make You Feel My Love") on the show. I was trying to beat the system, I knew it was a Bob Dylan song, and they were like, "Lets do country week," and I was like, "I know Garth Brooks did this," so I was trying to beat Rosetta Stone V3 the system, but it just ended up working out. I love Bob Dylan, hes an amazing writer.People saw larger significance in the contest, that there was a cultural battle being fought. Whats your take on that? Me and Adam talked about it we are really good friends and people were talking about Im getting the Christian vote and Adams getting brvbar; were not running for president, were not running an election here, were just trying to be musicians and be artists, and I hope thats what people are voting on and people are calling in for, and I know thats not always the case.Now you Rosetta Stone Hindi have a career to think about. What kind of approach do you want to take to your career, what do you want to achieve?
