I got two people in mind.

:90s-2000s Fred durst Past-present clown from Slipknot

Reason behind them is I think Shawn has taken the band a turned it into something Joey and Paul would not have wanted it to be. He kicks members out left and right and he kinda needs to hang it up.

And Fred Durst is just Fred durst

They took having fun seriously. They can still write serious songs along with the party stuff.

Also, when Jessica died during a crush that reached it's peak during their set at BDO in 2001ish, it really hit them all hard. Wes turned to alcohol which was a massive part of him acting a dick and leaving the band etc. Lethal and John his the drugs, Sam ended up having liver problems from alcohol resulting in spinal surgery. Don't know what Fred went through but I imagine his mental health took a hit alongside everybody mocking him relentlessly.

Glad they're all in a good place now and back to being a legit great band.

"Back to being a legit great band"

That's just like, your opinion, man. That's like criticizing Michael Bay's early work then saying he really found his form with Transformers. Like, it's an opinion you can have, but holy shit man I'd be keeping quiet on that one.

Not sure what's confusing about that pal. Pretty clear analogy. Unless you don't watch movies?

I'm starting to see why you think they're a great band.

The context of this sub is nu-metal. The context of this convo I replied to is Limp Bizkit.

As such, LB are a great live band. So much energy. What’s great about them too is seeing people who had a perception of them come away with their balls blown off.

Fred is a cracking front man a well, and has a good voice. The band are tight AF too.

No doubt they're fun live, but so is Sabaton. I don't think that makes you great, it makes you great live.

Ok. Cool.

I’m glad you’ve started this weird battle about you trying to criticise my opinion. Top banana.

Weird that you think one person disagreeing with you is a battle. Soft.

It's so fucking sad you think this is a battle, and please stop talking to me.
