Sam Rivers Announces New Project + Update on Return to LB

Sam has announced plans to release new music in a project called SLEEPKILLERS with Damien Starkey (Puddle of Mudd, Society Red, Saliva, Burn Season). The music is reaching the final stages, so expect some new stuff pretty soon.

In relation to his absence from Limp Bizkit due to back injury, Sam addressed the fans in the comments.

Limp Bizkit is my family and when I’m all healed up I want nothing more than to be on stage with them and see all of you!!!

Get well soon Sam!

So a few years ago a good friend mine Damien Starkey and I started a project together just for fun. We quickly realized we wrote well together and had fun doing it. I’m super excited about the songs we have written. We are approaching the final stages and can’t wait for the world to hear. Stay tuned. #SLEEPKILLERS#Limpbizkit#burnseason#samrivers

Top 5 Limp Bizkit Show Starters!

Limp Bizkit have a long list of hard hitting tunes, but some of them fit that number one slot on the set list that bit more than the rest. In no particular order, here's Bizkitfans' top 5 show starters - what are yours?

5. Hot Dog

One cannot resist the infamous Wes Borland riff on this Chocolate Starfish classic. This fan favorite is sure to get the entire crowd pumping! Wes leads the crowd into mayhem on this one with John breaking it down as the band follows - "Get the fuck up!"

4. My Generation

Another fan favorite, My Generation is a classic Limp Bizkit show starter and proves to be a good one with the crowd jumping from the get go. John Otto brings that beat back and everything goes wild.

3. Pollution

A classic Limp Bizkit tune - nothing like the Three Dollar Bill, Ya'll$ intro followed by Pollution to start a show. We love hearing that low-end riff and groove drop, and who doesn't like screaming POLLUTION!?

2. 9 Teen 90 Nine
Nothing gets your heartbeat going more than Wes twiddling that funky bottom string on the intro before the entire band explodes into awesomeness. This one perfectly mixes crazy breakdowns and calmer sing-a-long verses and the chance to take a breather!

1. Trust?
This super rarely performed tune is not only a rare one to see live, but especially as a show starter. However as the band proved in Dublin during the 2010 tour, it is one of the best! This video speaks for itself.
