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.

I don't own this CD. I just keep hearing, and enjoying, "Behind Blue Eyes" at the sports club while working out and finally asked someone who the artist/singer is. Until today, I've never heard of Fred Durst or Limp Bizkit. However, I very much remember the original Who recording of this song from the late 60's "Who's Next" LP, that was very popular at the time. I actually think this remake, played at a slower beat, is even better. Also, if anyone noticed, the last two verses have been changed, and improved on in my opinion, from the original lyrics. After checking out a few Limp Bizkit songs it's not my kind of music and I certainly won't be buying any. But at least they got this one right. If you don't remember or like The Who's music then you may not like this either.

Will Limp Bizkit ever stop doing these stupid things??? First of all,they covered this awesome song and then added the line "Discover L.I.M.P" in the middle of the song,in other words claiming that this is there original song.Secondly Fred`s voice TOTALLY SUCKS in this song.So just SAVE YOUR MONEY and don`t buy it.

For those of you that dont know who Europe is, let me explain. They were the reason why 80's music sucked. They were cliche, they were boring, they were poppy and pu***fied, they were everything that everyone hates about the eighties multiplied. They made Warrant look like the Beatles, simply put, they were the biggest and most annoying joke for fifteen years...

...Of course this was before the retard in the red cap and his entourage of apes came to town. Limp Bizkit was their name, and when they released 'Three Dolla Bell Y'all' it was the shot heard 'round the world....that western civilization would soon fall. Every album they released was far worse than the last, ultimately resulting in 'Results May Vary' which is where this little piece is off of.

Let me start by saying that Fred is now the absolute WORST human being who ever lived, he's worse than Feminem, Chris Martin, and Avril Lavigne combined and multiplied. He ruined a Who song for me and for most likely every other Who fan out there. Eggplant couldn't have made a better review of this crap, the horrible "L...I...M...P...discover" in the backround just kills any potential this cover had (and it didn't have very much. Also, Pisser pointed out that the instrumental section in the middle is missing, thus confirming just how f**king talentless the instrumentalists are. Not even Korns horrible remake of 'Another Brick in the Wall' (originally by the great Pink Floyd) is nearly as bad as this. I cant review anymore, its just too pointless because I know everyone hates this song and this band. Face it Fred, its over and its never coming back (thank God).

...I want to kill you Fred Durst...

if it wasn't for the fact that it's a cover and not an original, i doubt this song would have received this harsh criticism...

i agree that it might seem poor in its minimal repetitive structure, and i'm not much a fan of the additional middle bridge...but aside from that, i think mr Bizkit's voice makes a pretty good translation of the lyrics...and layered with beautiful guitar play on a bed of dark pads, the song turns out to be a quite touching ballad on its own

I am a HUGE bizkit fan. This is NOT old Bizkit, but good studio work. Lots of criticism from Bizkiteers who don't know much about music. When Durst is on, Bizkit ROCKS, but there's no real trace of Choco Starfish here. The WHO remake is the CD and it's good to see that Durst can do both. Didn't feel the rightwing vibe that the Alabama kid did (above) and would recommend for the WHO song.

HOW DARE LIMP BIZKIT COVER THE WHO. THE ORIGINAL IS AWESOME BUT THIS COVER IS A DISGRACE. SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IF YOU BUY THIS!
