Rage Against The Machine Bassist Tim Commerford Apologizes For Inspiring Limp

Commerford added, “That’s the lovely thing”.

“I do apologize for Limp Bizkit”, Commerford said.

After Durst & company’s Break Stuff beat out Rage’s Sleep Now in the Fire for the award, Commerford crashed the stage, scaled a 20-foot palm tree and refused to come down.

According to recently asked, at a recent NYC show during their performance of the cover, Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst said “When I first heard this song, that shit hit me right the f*** here”, pointing to his heart.

Sadly, depending on who you’re talking to, Limp Bizkit are still active. “I really do. I feel really bad that we inspired such bulls-t”.

It’s not that the musician or RATM fostered the band that made “Nookie” famous, but rather that their influence on Durst eventually led to Limp Bizkit.

Rage Against The Machine bassist Tim Commerford apologizes for Limp Bizkit, everyone. [Editor’s note: They are not.] “That’s the lovely thing”.

Commerford has always been vocally against the very idea of Bizkit’s brand of music, stemming back to an infamous moment at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.

Eventually security dragged him down and he was arrested for disorderly conduct and spent the night in jail. “What was uncomfortable and a little back in 2000, now I savor it”. What was that about?’ Now it’s like, ‘Dude, I saw you do that.

Rage Against The Machine has an odd legacy.

The free concert took place in London’s Finsbury Park on June 6, 2010 and was the result of a successful Facebook campaign launched by Jon Morter and his then wife Tracy, which saw fans buy the band’s 1992 track “Killing In The Name“, successfully stopping the victor of Simon Cowell’s The X Factor from becoming the UK Christmas Number One.
