Top 10 Sam Rivers Bass Moments

As we remember the legend Sam Rivers, we've compiled a list of 10 Limp Bizkit songs that remind us why he was one of the best.

Let us know your favourites in the comments below!

10. "Clunk" - Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$ (1997)

Clunk has a raw, dirty tone, playing a crucial role in building the energy before exploding into the chorus. The bass riff here perfectly mirrors the chaotic, stop-start nature of the song. The highlight for this song is the bass lick pauses during the break down.

9. "Full Nelson" - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000)

Full Nelson features a simple yet crushing groove. The bridge bass line is incredibly groovy and locks in with John Otto's drumming to create a dense, almost suffocating wall of sound that builds before the breakdown.

8. "My Way" - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000)

My Way gives Sam a bit more room to inject his signature swagger. The bass is melodic and full of confidence.

7. "Boiler" - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000)

The bass line in Boiler s the emotional anchor of the song. It has a distinctive, pulsing quality, particularly in the verses.

6. "Nookie" - Significant Other (1999)

The distorted groove beneath the verse in Nookie is the immediate hook after the initial riff and a perfect demonstration of Sams ability to create a massive impact with a heavy, thumping groove.

5. "The Truth" - The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) (2005)

Pure grit and aggression. It's powerful yet played higher up the neck, giving it a menacing, almost razor-sharp quality that cuts through the mix and pushes the song's frantic pace.

4. "Counterfeit" - Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$ (1997)

The bass line in Counterfeit is pure, unfiltered aggression from the debut album. It's a raw, distorted, and relentless riff that epitomizes the raw energy of early Limp Bizkit. Sams playing here is frantic and heavy, laying the foundational blueprint for Bizkits entire sound.

3. "The One" - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000)

This one showcases Sams fantastic use of space and dynamics. The bass in this song is beautifully crafted and focuses on groove and atmosphere.

2. "Stuck" - Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$ (1997)

This is an absolute behemoth. The main riff is a funky, highly syncopated monster that is notoriously difficult to replicate with the same raw swagger. It's a complex, rhythmic workout that stands as one of the most recognisable and unique bass lines in Limp Bizkit.

1. "Re-Arranged" - Significant Other (1999)

This is arguably Sams finest moment. The bass line is the absolute centerpiece, guiding the song through its dynamic shifts. It’s a deep, mournful, and incredibly melodic riff, particularly in the verses. It showcases his masterful control over tone and atmosphere, giving the song a profound sense of sadness and introspection that elevates it far beyond a typical nu-metal track.

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.

5 Videos That Will Hype You For the Limp Bizkit/ Korn Tour!

The Korn & Limp Bizkit UK Tour is just around the corner and here's some videos to hype it up for you lucky fans going to see the show. The short 6 date run will last from December 12th in Manchester to December 19th in Nottingham. They'll visit Glasgow, Birmingham, London and Cardiff along the way.

The last time Korn & LB went on tour together was during the Family Values Tour in 1999. They also did a 1998 run the year prior, which included plenty of on-stage collabs. We're sure something unique is going to happen this time around, because these guys are well known for collaborating both on stage and in the studio in the past, not to mention they came up and made a name for themselves around the same time.

5. "All In The Family"

Although JD from Korn said he cant stand this song anymore, many fans would love to see it be played live. It's a back and forth collaboration between both bands and guarantees some fun and nostalgia for the old timers. Here it is live in 1998 when Korn & LB did the Family Values Tour.

4. Limp Bizkit tease "Blind"

Wouldn't put it far past the Bizkit to tease a Korn song this time around, perhaps even play a full section of the song.

3. "Nobody Like You"

This track from LB's Significant Other album featuring Jonathan Davis has never been played live and it would certainly make for a good live tune. Who knows, JD might take the stage to feature on this one during the LB set.

2. Korn play "Sabotage" with Slipknot

Although this has nothing to do with LB, it simply shows what they could be capable of putting on. Slipknot, Korn and Limp were all big names in the nu-metal era and all this collab is missing is the Limp.

1. "Wicked" Korn & Fred

Here's Fred joining Korn in 1997, this is one badass performance. The track Wicked is originally by Ice Cube, who Korn played the track with on the Family Values Tour in 1998 - Korn's unique rock/metal twist makes it perfect for both JD and Fred to go off.
