Limp Bizkit reform with Evanescence guitarist?
Is Fred Durst Rollin' out a Mission Impossible?
According to interweb rumours, and our friends at Metal Hammer magazine, hot dog-flavoured rockers Limp Bizkit have reformed. The Fred Durst-fronted outfit have not released any new material since 2005's Greatest Hitz, which included a medley of Mötley Crüe's Home Sweet Home and The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony. Oh yes.
Since Limp Bizkit's on-off guitarist Wes Borland officially joined Marilyn Manson earlier this year, Durst and co have re-recruited another on-off guitarist: Terry Balsamo. Balsamo was part of the early 'Bizkit line-up in 1995, before picking up guitar duties with Cold and Evanescence.
It's not clear if the band have recorded any new material yet. The only recent addition to the band's MySpace page is the previously unreleased track Summer Of Bipolar Love. Perhaps that's a clue as to what we can expect: a meandering, spoken word rant?
