Fred Durst has said that he's not so happy with the release of Limp Bizkit's new compilation, Greatest Hitz. Apparently he'd rather have released one of the band's already finished new records. Yes, that implies there's more than one. Be afraid.

Interscope has apparently pressed the band into releasing the compilation, reports MTV, but Durst isn't likely to let his feelings for new material stand in the way of some plugging:

"Nobody ever thought it was gonna turn into selling one record, let alone selling a lot of records. It was a bizarre journey to this Greatest Hitz record and we made a lot of friends and fans and experienced things we could've never comprehended before Limp Bizkit.

"I'm grateful for everything, and if I could do it all again I'd do it. The mistakes we've been able to make, or I've been able to make, have all been blessings for me because I got to make some of the greatest mistakes and I love that because it's helped me grow. So I guess this Greatest Hitz record is just a tribute to what that was all about."

The collection contains three new songs, one of which is a bizarre mangling of The Verve's 'Bittersweet Symphony' and Motley Crue's 'Home Sweet Home'.

their cover of Bittersweet Symphony on TV this morning. Made being awake at 7:15 even less pleasant than it normally is.

Choice of Album

The fact the record label wants a greatest hits out rather than a normal album implies they don't have much hope in the album? Maybe they're going to get d-d-d-dropped after the greatest hits come out. Halle-fucking-lujah.

I'll fuckin' take you down the only fuckin' road I've ever fuckin' walked down

I've just changed my mind about Fred Durst. Surely this is his way of letting us know it was all a big joke at the expense of stupid people? In which case, he's clearly a genius after all, and we should take our stupid red caps off to him.

Unfortunately...

Fred Durst is a record company executive at Interscope, so the chances of him getting dropped are slim. Like the Shady.

well

I was thinking about that - is he still? I know he was a few years back, but back then "the Bizkit" still sold out arenas, and since then, as well as the general downslide their career has teken, there was the hil-fucking-arious gaff of 'The Unquestionable Truth pt 1' - I get the feeling this Hits CD is a revenge move from Interscope..

maybe

Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson joined forces and chased him out of the boardroom with guns and voodoo.

Have you seen his Kurt Cobain tattoo, by the way?

I have to say

The joint forces of Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson chasing Fred Durst away is a scary but highly amusing thought. Would Manson have his cheerleaders with him?
