NOTE: This will be my final review for anything Limp Bizkit or Fred Durst-related. They've become too much of a joke to pick on and still have fun doing so.

In 1971, legendary British rockers The Who released one of their most revered albums, "Who's Next", featuring hits "Baba O'Riley (Teenage Wasteland)", "Won't Get Fooled Again", and, of course, the greatly-written ballad "Behind Blue Eyes". This song is a classic, so much emotion put into three minutes and forty-two seconds.

In 2003, Limp Bizkit, an untalented, absymal rap-rock band (and I use the term "rock" very loosely), were on their way out. Not even the dumb wiggers who supported the "Rollin'" nonsense cared anymore. So, what does the much-hated (and with good reason) frontman Fred "Frank Dirt" Durst decide to do? Well, on the 2003 album "Results May Vary" (which is horrid, by the way), he butchered "Behind Blue Eyes". Why was it butchered?

Hmm.. first of all, he can't sing like Roger Daltrey. He adds another stupid verse to it. He puts in this damn drum machine with some stupid computer verse continually spouting out "L.... I... M... P.... Discover." ??? And, of course, he leaves out the rock end ("When my fist clenches, crack it open..."), more than likely because his band of buffoons can't play the riff. Kidz Bop couldn't have done a worse job ruining BBE. (Well, maybe they could...)

Wanna hear the song? Get The Who version. Forget Freddy's. I'll give it one thing, though, it's more standable than "Rollin'". (Then again, little isn't.)

See you at the Taco Bell counter Freddy!

Well, music has officially hit rock bottom with this one. John Entwistle is surely rolling over in his grave, and I'm sure Keith Moon would be too if he could. This song is unbelievably bad, as it is the worst translation of a song ever. Durst sounds like he should be fronting an emo band, not covering Who songs. As for saying he plays a good guitar, I think I can play a couple chords he uses. I feel bad for the real talent in the band noteably Wes Borlan, who has done nothing with his talent but make bad music. I'm so glad I grew up and stopped listening to these no talent @$$ clowns, and found the Who before hearing Fred's version. I may have actually liked it. For those of you who are over the age of 14 and like Limp Bizkit, I really feel sorry for you.

...how awful this remake is...I'm not even against remakes, really. This one is just so bad, I can't believe it made the album. Mallrats probably love it...how sad. Everyone else has covered the details. Please, buy or find a copy of Who's Next.
