LIMP BIZKIT has released the official music video for the song “Dad Vibes”. The clip, which features cameos by STEEL PANTHER‘s Michael Starr and Stix Zadinia, can be seen below.
“Dad Vibes”, which was originally premiered during the band’s concert at Lollapalooza last July, appears on LIMP BIZKIT‘s latest album, “Limp Bizkit Still Sucks”.
“Check out your dad with the swag on the floor/ Momma gonna brag when I walk in the door/ Y’all ain’t ever seen a guerrilla in the mist/ Walk the line so fine with a blindfold,” frontman Fred Durst raps in the song. “Hot dad ridin’ in on a rhino/ Got the roll-under-wrap with the dad vibes/ Now everybody bounce with the franchise,” he continues before the bass drops and the chorus comes around.” He continues: “Can’t live with ’em/ Can’t live without ’em/ New kid back on the block with a R.I.P./ Dad got the sag in the back with the drip/ Come and get a sip/ La-Di-Da.”
Prior to the arrival of “Limp Bizkit Still Sucks”, LIMP BIZKIT had not released a new studio LP since 2011’s “Gold Cobra”, although the band has spent a lot of time writing and recording music over the past decade.
LIMP BIZKIT will return to the road next week for the month-long “Still Sucks Tour”. The AEG Presents trek will kick off in the band’s former home state of Florida and will include a stop in New York City at Madison Square Garden (May 13) as well as cross-country shows in Baltimore (May 15) and Las Vegas (May 28) before concluding with a Los Angeles-area date (Ontario on May 31). LIMP BIZKIT will be supported by SCOWL, WARGASM UK, $NOT, DYING WISH and YUNG GRAVY for various shows (see breakdown below).
Later this year, LIMP BIZKIT will follow the U.S. shows with a European run of dates.
“Dad Vibes” arrived weeks after LIMP BIZKIT canceled all of its previously announced live appearances for 2021, explaining in a statement that it was doing so “out of an abundance of caution and concern for the safety of the band, crew and most of all the fans.”
LIMP BIZKIT was scheduled to appear at several festivals last summer and fall, including Aftershock, Blue Ridge, Rebel Rock and Rocklahoma.
A few days after the summer 2021 shows were called off, Durst told Billboard about the decision: “In short, the system is still very flawed. Even if the performers, crews, staff, and promoters do their best to ensure safety on and behind the stage, that doesn’t ensure the safety of the audience as a whole. We are all in this together, and we all — individually and as a whole — have to make our best efforts to be as responsible and proactive as possible moving forward to combat and stop spreading COVID.”
Durst also denied that there was a specific incident that prompted him and his bandmates to pull the plug on the trek, saying it was “just perception.”
Durst made headlines in late July when he debuted his new look at the band’s concert at Metro in Chicago, with the frontman now sporting wavy salt-and-pepper locks accompanied by a horseshoe-style mustache.
