Fred Durst talks back to Avril


Recommended Posts

I was just saying that not everyone only quotes Fred Durst. Some of us like Limp Bizkit, and I don't care if I am the only one on this site that does. Big deal to me.

So what if I am a fan boy? I am thinking that there is no band that you like, or movie, or anything that you like alot?

What is the point of music? To relax? To entertain? To make money? Its different for everyone. Look at [sD]. He is very into music. I am not. I listen to music for different reasons.

Either way, maybe you have nothing good to say, so I am done with you.

When will people start listening to music for the music, not for what the artist wears or does or says?

Apparently he's not paying attention to your sig, Bizkit. :/ Don't be surpised, I'm not. ;) (Y)

And once again my fellow Neowinians, we have another fine example of why you should [smokie from Friday]never, ever ever ever ever[/smokie from Friday] enter a thread if you are perfectly aware that it's content or contribuintg members in it bother you. :rolleyes: :turned:

Please don't feed the trolls. :hmmm: They're on a diet. :s Spam gives them gas. :ermm:

Thanks for that. It cheered me up.

I just don't see what the big deal is. Its ****ing music. Listen to it for whatever reasons you need. Why bitch? I don't like the new SlipKnot CD, but I don't go around flaming anyone that does.

OK, PERSONALLY I liked Limp Bizkit's earlier albums, and then came RMV. Not so keen - still listen but not as muchy. With regards to Fred Durst - I like HIS music (which basically sums up Limp Bizkit), and I think he is a good frontman. However, he really holds himself in a much higher regard than he should.

Cheers m8. I'm not one to pick fights or start flames (and no, I'm not doing that here), just trying to prove a point that is apparently a failed one around Neowin most of the time. Simply don't view threads you know you're not going to enjoy and if you think you might get in a fight with someone. If you accidentally enter it, just click the back button. No harm, no foul.

I can handle almost everything except country but I don't go around bad mouthing it.

It is true that their albums have went down in quality. I like Results May Vary because its alot of slower songs, and I listen to it when I want to relax.

I have a few of their singles, "Let It Go" and "Armpit". I think that Armpit will be more like that the new album is gonna be like, but its not that great of a song. I like Let It Go, but, again, its when I want slower music.

When I want harder music, I will throw on KoRn or Mudvayne or something like that.

I don't think you even understood my initial post. I never insulted your taste in music, I could care less if you listen to Limp Bizkit, nor do I care what music you are in to. Infact, I never even insulted your taste in freaking music. The point of music was never even brought up in any of my posts, so I don't know why you brang that up. My "entertainment" quote was directed at how you care what some dope has to say about Avril Lavigne and how people find that entertaining enough to start a thread about it. I called you a fanboy because obviously you got defensive because you like Fred Durst and dismissed me as having nothing good to say. Ryan, don't get involved. I'm not sure you know what you are talking about, then again, I didn't read your post because obviously you misunderstood me. :whistle:

I'm not sure I wanna see your reply ;/

Ryan, don't get involved.  I'm not sure you know what you are talking about, then again, I didn't read your post because obviously you misunderstood me.  :whistle:

Sorry m8, I all ready am simply because you're attacking my friend. And I think I do clearly understand. I understand that you don't understand stopping while you're ahead and not knowing when to get off your high horse because you can't seem to understand not participating in threads that do nothing but bother you. Don't you understand that you apparently don't like this thread or us or the mentioned music? I'll spend no more time toying with petty creatures here. Now I'm going to dissappear. Understand?

I'm not sure I wanna see your reply ;/

We're only trying to understand each other? Where's the love? :wub: :heart: Group hug everyone! :hug:

Obviously you have nothing good to say, understand?;);)

Why are we quoting people when they have nothing good to say?

Then let me understand it correctly. It sounds like you are implying that Fred Durst has nothing to say. I am assuming by that you are not liking him. True, that does not mean that you do not like his music. But my original post still stands.

Why post in a thread if you have nothing to say?

To me, your post had nothing to do with the fact that Fred said something in regards to that Avril said about him.

Now, I do admit that this is a free board, and you can post whatever you like about whatever topic you want, but that doesn't mean that its cool to do it. Its like this: I could just open up every thread everyday and post something that has almost nothing to do with the topic and see how that goes over with everyone.

One last thing. Calling people names is just asking to get flamed. Maybe some of us are young and immature, not saying you are, but never did I once call you a name. Also, what did Ryan do? Said what needed to be said in this forum. There are alot of trolls and flamers here.

Obviously you have nothing good to say. ;)

Well I don't about you and Bizkit. I'm not on anyone's side. I'm an equal oppurtunity member. I hardly ever enter Media Room. And it's late and I'm tired and bored. I'll let you two have at it. no hard feelings from me. I see same **** but new days. But my point's valid. I don't understand ( ;) ) why people can't seem to stay out of what they'd clearly see as nothing but trouble. :rolleyes: :p

I'm not just talking about Fred Durst, I'm talking about any celebrity. I already explained what I meant by saying that, anyways. I was trying to get you to think in my initial post. Calling you a fanboy isn't exactly that horrible of a name to call someone, either.

Edited by El_Hotsausage

Well, from the twelve words in the original post, that sure did say alot. :rolleyes:

Maybe not everyone can interprite what you wanted to say. That is understandable, being its the Internet, and not a face to face thing.

And it doesn't matter if you call someone a meanie, or a ****head. Some people don't like being called names. Maybe something happened and a Limp Bizkit saved me from doing something I didn't want to do. Maybe I just liked the album art. Somethings just mean alot to people, and insulting them is not the way to get liked in the world.

By the way, back to your original post, I find it funny that you have a quote of a celeb in your sig. How ironic. :whistle:

Look, Durst is in the public eye. People like to put their views across - whether they are at work, in the school common room, on the radio, wherever. People value their own views.

Because he is in the public eye, he has the opportunity to put his view across to more people than most.

He has every right to say what he thinks, just as you have every right to say what you think. However, just as at wo9rk, common room, wherever - nobody is forced to listen.

A lot of people like the band's music and reinterpret that into thinking they like Durst, like what he has to say. That's their call, not yours, not mine, not Dursts. I do not see how his comments even have anything to do with his music.

Nicely put. :yes:

I like reading your posts. You have something constructive to say. Its just the fact that his post really has no meaning when he has quotes of celebs in his thread, then says that he doesn't think we should quote them.

Wow. Hit a soft spot did I? Weird that now you know how it feels.

Why post in the thread when you have nothing to say?

I don't post crap in Tool threads, now do I?

You're an idiot. You keep spewing **** and you are gonna upset me and then I'm gonna get mean, and it'll be much worse than fanboy. You did hit a soft spot, you're just an idiot and that hits me in a soft spot. My quote "Why are we quoting people when they have nothing good to say?"

Don't even compare my feelings to yours, and Fred Durst to Maynard. Fool. Maynard has **** to say, that's why I quote him.

OK, as someone who has never listened to tool, never heard anything Maynard has said - I cannot comment. But if I read a comment in a rock/metal magazine and I agreed, then hey. If I disagreed, then hey! Tell you what though, maybe a little more exposure to his band may make me want to listen to some Tool and see if I liked it.

Thats another reason these guys get quoted so much - publicity. I am certainly not calling someone I have never heard of a "publicity hound", from what I understand, Tool are quite a "real" bunch of musicians, but publicity sells records, good or bad! It's a VERY simplistic way of looking at it, but it does tend to hold true (even for Michael Jackson).

Don't even compare my feelings to yours, and Fred Durst to Maynard. Fool. :laugh:

I am un idiot cause I said something about Tool? Wow. Thats horrible. I didn't even say anything bad about him. What if I was talking about Kirt?

And what makes you think that your feelings are better than mine? Did I even say anything about I feel more about this than you? I did not. Did I compare Durst to Maynard? I did not. Maybe you didn't understand my post.

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below.

The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product.
