Limp Bizkit Frontman Says ‘Gold Cobra’ Could Revive Nu Metal

by | Jun 27, 2011

In a recent interview with Billboard, Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst said that he favors a nu metal/rap-rock revival, stating that a tour with Deftones and Korn could be “really big.”

“I miss that whole genre — rap-rock or nu metal or rapcore, whatever we were called,” he says. “There was a minute there when you had Bizkit, Deftones, Korn…There was something really special about those times. I feel like if we all got back together and did something, went on the road together, it could be really big.”

Durst went on to say that the band’s new album, Gold Cobra, due out tomorrow, June 28th, is “definitely not a reunion. It’s a comeback.”
