Fred Durst opens up on his recording process

 

Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit gave fans a little window into his recording of the next Bizkit album 'Gold Cobra'.

During the stream he played non-album tracks, although the songs seemed fairly complete. He referred to one as an 'interlude', despite having four verses (the last of which pay out on fellow 90s nu-metal band Puddle of Mudd - a relevant rivalry in 2011 if ever there was one ).

'Here is some crazy interlude shit. You're probably not going to be able to comprehend it, but if you listen close in the fourth verse there is some very profound shit about someone you know,' he said before playing the interlude in reference to Puddle of Mudd. Fans in the chat room picked it up, but for those who missed it he proudly said after the track 'Fuckin' up the Puddle Of Mudd motherfucker right there!'

He also played a track with Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon. 'You guys might not be able to handle it because it's not rock shit. It's some fuckin' cock your fuckin' gun shit,' he said before playing the track. Durst seemed especially proud of Raekwon's line in the track 'Anything Rae says goes, Limp Bizkit's [the?] shit.'

Durst confirmed (and played) the intro to the album, which was written by Durst and spoken by Gene Simmons.

'The oh so element Gold Cobra,' Simmons says. 'Shimmering venomously with beauty and grace as it slithers along it's path to inevitable chaos. Whomever falls prey to this seductive serpent shall be forever scarred.'

Although the band only have one album planned for 2011, Durst said 'What I'm thinking is I want to do a Gold Cobra party record, then a Gold Cobra pain record.'

'59 songs and only 11 are on the Cobra,' he admitted. So who knows if any of these will ever see the light of day?

Australian fans can rest easy though, after a few from down under kept flooding the chat room with calls for him to come visit he responded with 'Australia! I get it I'm coming to Australia! Stop sayin' that shit, it's fuckin' spam at this point.'

Aside from the songs, we heard Durst say such gems as ' used to write words, I used to write it down, but like Lil' Wayne I'm like 'Why am I gonna write the motherfucker down?' I'm gonna let it flow off my head. That's the best way to capture this shit.' after recording some new lines.

The untitled song that he was recording featured lines 'Let's hit the club, round up ho's and give 'em love, raise our hands to the skies above, shine like Michael Jackson's glove,' with some more references to Nirvana thrown in for good measure and the chorus went 'Say hello to my little friend/We gonna need ourselves a bigger boat/frankly my dear I don't give a damn/and I'm gonna rock till we up in smoke.'

'Cypress Hill, you'd better believe it. A lot of influence from Cypress Hill on that one,' he said to the camera after a take.

This window into Durst's life is a tantalising peek at the band's upcoming album 'The Gold Cobra'. The question is, does anyone other than the 400ish viewers care anymore? Time will tell.

Lemmy 'The Movie' London Film Festival, BFI Southbank

35 years since the inception of Motorhead and just over 30 years since the inception of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, it is incredible how Lemmy has become such a revered figure- not just with a genre that he is synonymous with, but also with many young fans, and most importantly, artistes from at least two successive rock generations. 

This was also an observation which a Motorhead fan did during the press launch, something which pleased the directors Oliver Gregg and Wes Orshoski. Lemmy The Film does indeed focus on this aspect and artistes like Alice Cooper, Dave Grohl, Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine, Slash and even Lemmy’s own son play a very important role in this documentary.
