1999 was quite a year for Limp Bizkit. Their album, "Significant Other," sat atop the Billboard album charts. Rolling Stone hailed them as the lone band that "redefined late-Nineties hard rock." Their Woodstock '99 set is routinely referred to as the hottest moment of the three day concert. All in all, things are definitely happening for this most unique group. Combining rap, metal and the angst filled sentiment of punk rock, Limp Bizkit are the poster-boys for millenium madness. Noted music journalist Colin Devenish goes beyond the chart topping numbers and concert grosses to examine what has turned this rough and tumble bunch from Jacksonville, Florida into the hottest group on the charts.
This book not only changed my view of Limp Bizkit, but my view of books in general. It even changed my life, prompting me to shave my head, donate all my possesions, and live a life full of veracity and empathy. Mr. Devenish captures the heart and spirit of The Bizkit in whirling Hemingway meets Hunter Thompson prose. Like other readers, I sleep with this book.

i always hated this band and thought they were jerks. somehow, through the magic of prose, mr. devenish breathes life into the putrid offal that i once thought was limp bizkit. i read it on the way to my summer cottage in somerville, ma. i was so tickled to learn the band's favorite foods. i eagerly await the issue of more books by this gifted, upcoming writer. p.s. like greg heller, i also love men now b.c. of this book. amazing!

I struggle to find the words to describe the power of this book and it's effect upon me. A masterpiece at minimum, the author has joined the elite of not only this generation, but of all generations. I sleep with it.

If God wrote a book on Limp Bizkit, it would be this book. An amazing profile of '99's hottest band.

This is the best book ever written, better than anything Joyce, Kafka or even Anne Rice. This book changed my life in one minute. I now love men.
