Limp Bizkit hasn’t launched new music since their 2021 LP, STILL SUCKS, till this previous Friday (twelfth September), after they dropped their brand new single, “Making Love To Morgan Wallen.” Which truly has little or no to do with the controversial nation singer, moderately at first, it has a bit of extra to do with the late vocalist of Linkin Park, Chester Bennington.
Throughout the first three strains, the track shouts out Bennington, stating, “Rattling, I miss you, Chester / Sending love from a bass compressor / (Love you).”
And whereas it is undoubtedly uncommon to place these sentiments in a Limp Bizkit track of all issues, Bennington and Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst had a fairly notable friendship, going again as early because the 2000s.
It is partially defined by each Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit‘s rap-rock success occurring across the similar time, but in addition because of the mutual appreciation they’d for one another as individuals, further explained by Durst in a press release given to Variety after Chester Bennington‘s passing. A part of the assertion learn:
“In my final dialog with him, he was holding his two cute puppies and giving me probably the most selfless and motivational compliments with regard to Limp Bizkit and myself and thanking me for paving the trail for bands like Linkin Park.
In return, I instructed him if it weren’t for him and his voice and his phrases, this style would by no means have reached the plenty and affected so many lives. I thanked him for being so brave and humble and for at all times being such a gentleman.
And it is nearly like Limp Bizkit cannot be susceptible for too lengthy – they’re resistant to it – as a result of regardless of the touching side of the primary few strains, the band launches into the extra carefree and lyrically summary method to music that they are identified for, bouncing round rhymes like “pirate band” and “lobster hand” in addition to “bowling pin” and “dolphin fin” – or, saying that he is “doin’ backflips on a sweet cane” – all in the identical verse as referencing Bennington.
And, Durst tops the whole verse off with a beautiful, significant: “I blink twice, then I teleport / Obtained kicked out of the Trump resort (What?) / Purchased this cloud on a cost plan / Then I ghosted out in a minivan / Mic in my hand like a waffle cone / Spittin’ out syrup within the Twilight Zone.”
Proper.
However, the Morgan Wallen reference that requires the observe’s title, “Making Love To Morgan Wallen” is not till the track’s outro, as Durst pens, “I make this motherfucker diamond-plated / Makin’ like to Morgan Wallen in an elevator / I will be turnin’ on you bitches like a generator / I will be the best motherfucker that you just ever hated.”
Not one of the elements of “Makin’ like to Morgan Wallen in an elevator” sounds significantly interesting, however the track is fairly catchy and fairly dumb and that is a part of Limp Bizkit‘s appeal.
