Limp Bizkit play the Olympia Aug 24th

Heading to the Dublin Olympia on August 24 are Limp Bizkit whose own Gold Cobra LP is out in June, and is said to be a real return to form. Tracks expected to feature include ‘Shark Attack’, ‘Middle Finger’ and the equally charming ‘Douchebag’.

The original line-up of Fred Durst, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, John Otto, and DJ Lethal will all take part in the upcoming tour, and say in a joint statement: "Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognise there is a powerful and unique energy with this particular group of people we have not found anywhere else. This is why Limp Bizkit is back."

Again, tickets are available this Friday priced between €39.20 and €44.20

Was in to them in in their hay day, (I still think that Three Dollar Bill Y'all is decent!). But then I got older and wiser.

40 euro sounds like a complete rip off too!

Motley Crue

I might attend a UK date

Max Power1

like many, I was into them years ago. Wont go to see them now though - at least not at €40!

batari

Yea was a fan back in 98 or so, still enjoy Three Dollar Bill too.

Would go if I had €40 to spend, plus travel, plus booze, etc.

senordingdong

Forty quid for a gig in the Olympia is bull****.

Star Bingo

DON'T give your money to that scumbag durst. its like buying a Chris Brown ticket

TangyZizzle

Was interested til I saw the ticket price. No thanks.

For 40euro Id expect to be met my Fred at the door and have him take my coat before I tear into the free drinks.

would have to agree with previous posters, that sounds a bit schteep for that venue.

seanybiker

i'd go if i was given a ticket....and anyway wasnt faith no more last year and STP this year dearer than 40 euro?

Furious-Red

Seen them at Rock Im Park last year and was blown away. €40 will be well worth it imo. Will prob catch them at Pukkelpop aswell

new fang

ten year old me would be all up in this joint

me as it stands, probably wouldn't go if it was free. really don't like the idea of being surrounded by a room of people who think this band has any artistic merit.

at least not durst. the new tracks sound like they'd be decent as instrumentals.

Ye I can see how they would be a good laugh at a festival but their own show is more than likely going to be a bit of a playground scene :pac:

ha! coolo! will have to see that methinks!

Why is he a scumbag tell us?

Beekay

An awful lot of hatred in this thread against LB (seems to happen anytime someone mentions a "nu-metal" band).
I don't even really like them that much but they have a few good songs.
I'd say it would be great for fans to see them in such a small venue.
Got to see them at Rock Am Ring last year and they were great.

only quoting cristina aguilera no less.. n certainly no more - whom he 'duetted' with :pac::pac::pac: at the MTV video music awards regarding his Chris Brown-like status, he's gone one worse when he CLAIMED he was in relationships with pop divas try to promote his own status. Britney Spears of all people? do us a favour.. :pac: the unfortunate girl he coaxed into sex and recorded on camera phone? any sympathisers/ fans old enough to know better are simpletons, no doubt. sure we were all tweenies once, but lets move on.

scudzilla

i don't give a flying fcuk who Fred Durst has shagged, I also don't give a Rats arse who he's about to shag.
What i do care about is the music, and i love a lot of LB songs.

I'll be there, and when 'Break Stuff' kicks in at the Olympia i bet you wish you were too

Unreal music tho

jack presley

I can't believe he's nearly 40! Does he still wear a baseball cap backwards and do the 'homie' poses?

calex71

Still cursing them for cancelling Punchestown backing the day :mad:

budgemook

when are tickets out? on ticketmaster it says not yet available

I found out already, on sale tomorrow

TangyZizzle

Im feeling antsy, I might actually cave and buy a ticket. I reckon I might snap and go a little ape**** when they play breakstuff.. actually that would be funkin unreal live.

No shit, the last 2 times i was due to see them they've cancelled at VERY short notice.

Milton Keynes, a day or 2 before Punchestown, and the headlining slot at download in 2005 i think (Metallica's second stage appearance more than made up for that though)

Third time lucky

Unsurprising sheep mentality hatred on this thread.

Yeah cos they suck! :pac:

C'mon LB (If I can call them that as I'm a "hater"), are well past their prime. They don't have any relevance in music anymore. Take Nirvana, which was my go-to band when I was in my teens. It helped me being whiny and depressed cos it reinforced it at the time. (And I think they still have relevance to that age group now.)

Whilst LB (if I can call them that), sing/rap about "rollin'" and "doing it for the nookie", which is hip to the max yo y'dig? Cos I don't!

By the by has FDs' (if I can call him that) balls dropped yet? :pac:

I bet you'd be the same guy who would hate the fact that Metallica have changed over the years, like half the world. LB have not changed, and they get slandered for it the whole time. Your argument is very flawed, and sheepish. You just cant win with some people...

Got my standing tickets this morning. Cant ****in wait for this gig, should be immense. I will kill for a photo with Fred

Baaaaaaaaaaaah.

Can't win with opinion because everyone has their own right? So I've given mine and you've given yours.

I'm above LB (if I can call them that) because they were a "fad" and like other bands I abhor their fans appear to me as shallow/vacuous d*ckheads.(PS: I'm not calling you one in case you're itchy clicking finger decides to click that lil red triangle. I mean I'd be the first to say I'm a c*nt. Cos I can be....probably am, I'm waiting on the results.).

i'm as anti-LB as the next clear minded chap, but this is a retarded argument

nirvana have had an impact far more reaching than angsty teens. not even the same ball park. not even close.

meanwhile, limp bizkit are consistently mediocre and i'm surprised they have a following past their heyday.

Ok to spell it out. The kids. They listen to music. I'd rather they listen to somethinig that'll speak to them than some idiotic f*ck spouting on about sh*t that no ones' interested in. Now, is that ok with you? Fits perfectly all in black and white? Can you relate to any point that I've brought up and not step on some bandwagon that gives you a high and mighty approach?

No? Nirvana are a band. They made good music. It spoke to a certain age group.

Limp Bizkit are a band too. They make "music". It doesn't really "speak" to any age group.

Should I distill my point some more? Do you need laymans terms?

Yes, everyone can have an opinion. Yours is just ridiculous, and I'm not the only one to point that out in this thread.

Haha you're above their fans? Good for you. Personally, good to know you're not weak minded anyway.

And their fans being "shallow/vacuous dickheads? Pot, kettle?

Patronising remarks. I get it. Cute.

But, hey, good hustle. Thanks for your two.

I'm gonna take my "hating" (I did use that term in the right context didn't I?) elsewhere. Later "playas" (that's right isn't it? "playa"?).
