| Limp Bizkit will shoot a new video this weekend, and the band is looking to fans to help fill out the cast. However, it helps if you live in Los Angeles and listen to that city's KROQ radio. The band is close to wrapping up a contest with KROQ that would see a handful of listeners win some major face time in a new clip for "Break Stuff," the fourth single from "Significant Other." Winners will be featured singing lines from the track karaoke-style, while other fans will be cast as extras in the clip. Once again, Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst will assume the role of director for the video and will oversee the Los Angeles shoot this weekend. The video is expected to debut on MTV sometime next month. Following the shoot, Limp is slated to go back into the studio to write and record tracks for its next album, which could arrive as early as this summer. How big is Fred Durst? In one swift move, he got System Of A Down dropped from one of 1999's biggest tours. Given that his band, Limp Bizkit, was headlining the outing, the move wasn't necessarily all that mighty. However, what followed was downright Herculean. After exchanging harsh words with System's management in the press, and after System had committed to a tour with Filter, Durst made another move, this time inviting System to rejoin Limp on the road... and the band came running. There was talk about mending fences and making friends, but the bottom line is: when the big dog calls, you come, and in 1999, Durst was rock's biggest dog. He touched all the rock star bases this year (scored a number one album, got arrested, took the blame for causing a riot, etc.), but he managed to go even further, transcending his role as frontman (and even transcending his band to a certain extent) to become something more. Building on hip-hop's mogul/artist model, the singer turned his name into a cottage industry, landing a Vice President position at Interscope Records, directing videos, and even netting a movie deal. In the process he also became one of rock's most polarizing figures as onlookers debated his place in music: Is he a true rock visionary, a greed-driven megalomaniac, or simply a guy who wants to rock as loud and as long as he can? Whatever he is, he certainly came along at the right time. It's as if Durst arrived as the dream applicant for the "help wanted" ads that the music media had been publishing on behalf of the rock world for years. As 1999 opened, riff-lovers everywhere continued to bemoan the lack of a charismatic focal point for a rock revival. Korn, Monster Magnet, Rammstein, Rob Zombie, and others had muddied the mainstream in 1998, but none presented the kind of pitchman that rock needed to regain the top 40. However, one of '98's other breakthrough acts had everything needed to fit the bill. |
