Which is ironic considering he was born in America and now has no trace of an Aussie accent.
100 per cent. I disagreed with a lot of this piece but that last sentence is spot on.
Ah, so that's where the idea came from. I think Propagandhi might genuinely have thought they were a nazi band when they wrote the song and then didn't want to change the line once they found out otherwise.
Does he really? What a tool.
You might be right (though Rap Genius says it was Eminem). I've always assumed it was Eminem because I can't imagine Jay-Z writing (or rapping himself) a line like:
This isn't entirely related but your comment reminded me that the one ICP song I remember had the phrase "Back to reality…" a few years before Eminem's Lose Yourself also featured that. Not for nothing, was this an homage?
If you only knew FNM from Epic, you could see how some upstart promoter might think Limp Bizkit's early stuff would fit. How wrong they would have been, but it's not impossible that in 1997 people thought it was appropriate.
The only thing I know about Warzone is that Propaganda have a song where they called them a nazi band but then in the lyrics sheet had '(not really)' or something, as if they just needed another two-syllable punk band to reference alongside Skrewdriver.
I do find it funny that people stick up for Wes Borland and act as if Fred Durst was the only reason Limp Bizkit sucked. Guys, come on. Think of one memorable riff he wrote.
Thus, Forgot About Dre is his best performance because Eminem managed to give him incredible rhymes that possibly nobody else tried to challenge him with.
I am so glad to hear that.
Good. If I never have to hear Marah Eakin's barely concealed contempt for what the show was doing again, it'll be too soon.
No, it rhymes with broccoli.
What has become of the AVClub if it has to be explained who Peter Cook is?
Interesting. I can imagine some Zappa fans rejecting it because of Beefheart and vice versa.
This tracks. I liked that song 'You don't need a reason to get up on the dancefloor', was that it? I don't really remember their other stuff.
I am really sad to hear that, though you could tell even back then that his voice had been ravaged by smoking and whatnot. I actually saw Zappa Plays Zappa about, wow, eight or nine years ago and Ray White was their special guest. His voice held up. He did Doreen. It was incredible.
Yeah, that sounds more accurate than dance punk. Does anyone remember Men, Women and Children?
Yeah, I don't think they're bad songs at all; I meant purely from a sexism point of view. My least favourite song on that album aethestically is probably Dumb All Over because it has that talk-singing thing Zappa sometimes thought was interesting. And I'll always love The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing and Heavenly Bank…
