When Limp Bizkit gets in the studio, some days it's heavy, some days it's mellow, some days it's good, and some days...well, some days it is wack. Fred is honest with us and we are honest with Fred as we review Limp Bizkit's classic debut album, "Three Dollar Bill, Y'All$". Bryan remembers seeing Limp Bizkit very early on as we reminisce about some of their early gigs and demo tapes, and we once again debate Fred Durst's status as a sex symbol. We also learn a lot of people discovered this album after Significant Other came out, a club that includes John, as he remembers listening to this for the first time well after Limp Bizkit had broken big, and how that affected the way he took it in at the time. We also wonder why more bands could never really replicate Limp Bizkit's style, and how this album in particular stands alone as a singular artifact. And the articles are a fascinating look at how Fred Durst was beginning to create his public persona, forcing us to once again acknowledge his business genius.
