Anyone doubting the lasting power of polarizing rap-rock 90s holdouts Limp Bizkit at the Monster Energy Aftershock Festival this weekend were treated to a rude awakening, as the quartet blasted through a greatest-hits run like it was 1999 all over again.
Girls lost their minds, bros fist-pumped their asses off and the entirety of Discovery Park in Sacramento became on colossal, violently churning pit during the band’s midday set. Both men & women flowed over the rail into the arms of security, like rats abandoning a sinking ship – but the only sinking feeling anyone in attendance got was due to the nauseating moment where frontman Fred Durst caught a pair of panties, sniffed them deeply, and proceeded to wrap them around his mic while he sang the rest of the song.
Bear in mind, temperatures hovered around 100 degrees for most of the day. So whoever those underwear belonged to, let’s consider the best case scenario in such a sweaty, dirty all-day environment… ugh. Maybe not. Your imagination can fill in the rest. Instead, try to imagine the surreal nature of a scene in which one of the most hated bands in the history of rock is celebrated like gods as they play Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The Name”.
