Limp Bizkit reform with original line-up

They plan new album, world tour

Limp Bizkit have announced that they are reforming with the original band line-up for the first time in eight years.

Fred Durst, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, John Otto and DJ Lethal have joined forces once again to tour and record a new album. Guitarist Borland, who left the band in 2001 and returned briefly only to leave again in 2006, has apparently resolved differences with his bandmates.

"We decided we were more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other," Durst and Borland said in a joint statement.

"Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognize 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."

Limp Bizkit will kick off a world tour in the spring, hitting the European festival circuit. They will also play their first-ever shows in Russia. Tour dates will soon be announced on the band's new website Limpbizkit.com.

They also intend to begin recording a new album.

This is the second or third time in the last 10 years they have done got back together and you know what ? I still don't give a shit and think fred durst is a washed up old phrat hack with very little to offer as an artist just like he has very little to offer in the package department.

Oh Yeah, Limp Bizkit are back to show bands how it’s done? I know popular music is almost worse than ever right now but do these guys honestly believe their the solution?That’s more laughable than Blink 182 reforming.

"We decided there were shitloads of money involved and, as far as our separated ways were not getting us enough cash to spend on dope, whatever, we will cope with each other's filthy breath, behaviour and presence in order to be able to bring you more shitty, unsubstantial, pointless pseudo-metal garbage, thank you".

Must we go through all this again?First the 'credit crunch', now this... Talk about kicking them when they're down.I, for one, hope Durst implodes spontaneously. Then we can have done with the whole sorry business.

Any bet taken that 'Faith' will be the B-side to every new single. 'Coz they're bringing back real rock donchaknow so they won't be messing with their classic single format.

Can't believe this. Wes Borland is such a hypocrite. He issued a statement 5 days ago saying he'd never re-join Bizkit...Money talks huh?http://uk.news.yahoo.com/1/20090207/ten-borland-slams-durst-and-dismisses-li-c60bd6d.html
