I was thinking that especially because you can see that look of utter shock and amazement as he stares into the crowd realizing he has a quarter million people at his fingertips 🤣
There are two types of controlling a crowd. Freddie Mercury's, with people cheering and screaming out of joy and happiness. Then there is this... where the people are screaming and yelling out of rage and frustration.
Somehow people can say "he had the audience in the palm of his hand" and then still turn around and say he didn't have any role in inciting the riot. Pick one. You can't have both. I agree, he had the audience in his hand, then he told them to break shit, and then they broke shit. And somehow people can honestly pretend he had nothing to do with the ensuing riot.

People who grew up in the 90s have nostalgia glasses larger than any other generation in history. Literally everything in the 90s was blocky, plastic, and everyone looks like they’re a meth addict. The music is an absolute abomination, even legends like the Grateful Dead and Metallica couldn’t survive the 90s
@@mattneko4225 You're clapped out your mind if you think the music in 90s was bad. 90s had Godspeed You black emperor, Radiohead, Fishmans, Jeff Buckley, Björk, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Biggie, Swans, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Fiona Apple, Portishead, my bloody valentine, Elliot Smith, Slint, Neutral Milk Hotel, Modest Mouse and sooooo many others I can't think of right now
I remember I was up front really close to the stage for this. The atmosphere felt like the whole crowd was ready for war. And the thought went through my mind that maybe I shouldn’t have gotten so close to the stage and was possibly about to get moshpitted to death by a million people. I was 17 and it was my 1st concert. I thought maybe the crowd will calm down a little, then Durst told everyone to break shit, and I was like oh boy, here we go
"Woodstock '99 will revive the spirit of '69, a weekend of peace and love" "Who do we get to headline?" "How bout those guys that sing the song about breaking fucking faces and skinning asses with chainsaws?" "I love it!"

Check the big man at 4:13 sliding about the stage like a maniac. These guys were on a different level back then and this isnt even the type of music i listen to but can openly admit..This is pure talent and unbelievable crowd control.
I wish we could go back to them good ol’ non instagramable non social media days and have limpbizkit BREAK SOME STUFF !!!!!!!!!!!! February 2024 baby !!!!!!!!!
This song spoke to me in 1999. It still lives somewhere inside my soul. I listen to it now simultaneously loving it and thinking it's hilarious, though.
I always hated limp Bizkit. I was in high school at the peak of their popularity and I found them to be insufferable. In fact I think there are guitar player Wes Borland hated the band too and we admit as much in interviews.
@@Rose_19911 Embarrassingly stupid lyrics, whiny talk "singing", instantly dated frat boy image, weak songs that are cringingly of their time... Didn't like them then, still can't get into them.
You're correct, but in fairness, for this time period.....Limp Bizkit was kind of a new millenium cultural movement. There wasn't really much "90's" about them. I lived through the 90's, and the "90's" as I knew them kind of ended somewhere around the beginning of 1999. Everything just started getting extremely wild and outlandish on a large scale, which was not the 90's at all. Woodstock 1994 captured "the 1990's" spirit perfectly. Woodstock 1999, not so much.
People have said this about every decade since 1920. You were just young then and like it because you were young then. Whatever music is happening at the moment is and has always been liked by younger people and disregarded or disliked by older people. Get some perspective.

I never respected Limp Bizket. Until I watched the documentary and I had a nightmare of a job. I went to work and I realized this song is literally how it felt to go work everyday. I left that job but I still listen to this song to get me amped up to run a race or lift weights.
The shear energy of this is on a godly level. I almost just tore my room apart listening to this. Fred Durst might have a lot of shit upon him but this was single handedly one of the most epic things I've ever seen
Fred is an unbelievable front man and wherever he does. He's got a great metal vocal. 3 dolla bill, significant other and Hot dog are absolutely untouchable.
Me neither. I got left there and had to hitchhike back to Ohio. No money, no food, water, no cells phones yet. I lost my friends and was just wondering around for days. 😆 it's so funny now but it was wild. So much aggressive energy due to dirty water, dirty toilets, and price gouging. Also no shade whatsoever and it was over 100 degrees everyday. 😆
I was 11 when Woodstock 99 went down. All my favorite bands at the time were there. LB, Korn, Rage, Metallica, Godsmack, Sevendust, Bush, Chili Peppers, Offspring, my hometown boys Gargantua Soul and sooo many more. But when Limp went on man, if that wasn’t a sign of the times I don’t know what was. That shit was fucking the most badass chaos imaginable! Long live LB
I was just talking to my homie about this weekend… I’m aware of how chaotic this event became, but as a rebellious millennial, i’m so envious of everyone that attended this event.
All we got these days is EDC........that shits cool and everything, but there is no event (on paper)that I would rather go to than Woodstock 99. Just looking at the performances and the line-up, they were freakin amazing. This is all notwithstanding all the chaos lol.....
@@sloedwn7509 Nah, but theres nothing that compares to Woodstock these days, and like, all the festivals I see these days are really mixed up like all genre's mixed together.....and they just wont have the same energy as Woodstock. EDC is honestly a whole different energy, but I don't think any of the rock festivals will ever come close to match Woodstock energy again
I will never forget when this went down! It was complete madness! I'll never forget that energy when they played! For as hot and miserable as it was I still enjoyed the bands and the overall experience of Woodstock 99.. I'd do it again if I could.
@@TripleB-nb8en I have too many crazy stories to tell from Woodstock 99. Imagine tripping balls and it's 100 degrees and your girlfriend starts having a bad trip and is dehydrated..

It was madness! But I'd do it all over again because it's something that I will never forget.
Just finished the Woodstock 99 doco on Netflix and came here to watch some more of LB. One of my favourite bands still to these days. This was one hell of a show! Wish I was there
I moved to Los Angeles in 2000. A friend of mine asked me before I left if I ever saw Fred Durst to punch him in the face. He was not a fan. Two days after I got there I ran into him at a bar and I bought him a beer. I never told my friend.
@@colinallen6500 i never was at Woodstock I was 8 years old at the time, what I was saying was I had the privilege growing up in the 90s listening to jams like limp bizkit and kid rock plus dmx, and this Woodstock pointed it out, huge mega stars on the greatest era! There will never be another Woodstock like this, even though there was suppose to be one in 2019 who was suppose to entertain us “Miley Cyrus” “lil nas x” “nicki” nah hell nah, glad there wasn’t one, but Woodstock 99 was like the wrestlemania of them all
They probably wouldn't have let them make the documentary without blaming LB like that They won't let it go. They refuse to take any self accountability. They will blame LB until they all die. We all know it was their fault. Im glad this documentary brought so much light to this topic. Last time I thought about Woodstock and all the shit I knew about it I figured it was going to be a forgotten memory forced to be forgotten by the organizers who's only goal was to profit.
I still listen to Limp Bizkit to this day (would not recommend doing so while driving) and their songs just hit you in the gut. The 90s was the perfect time to be an angsty teen and I'm so glad I was there to experience it! Just sad I couldn't be at Woodstock '99. Even though it was probably hell being in that sweltering heat and sewage with no water and on tarmac no less, it would've been that one event you will remember for the rest of your life.
That drop! Holy shit! I've watched and listened to this video like 20 times in a row and when it drops and he says "break your fucking face tonight" I lose it!!! 🤘🤟👏
All he did was do the show he was paid to do. The promoters are at fault for allowing price gouging and cutting corners on security and sanitation control.
Yea how can they blame the guy who told everyone in the crowd to start breaking shit for the fact that they immediately started breaking shit. Unbelievable!
i miss these times. Everything was so raw and wild and rebellious. Being a complete dumbfuck but proud of it was the norm. But also everyhing was so ease and people got along with each other the lack of internet was truly a good thing. Social media has made us all biased af and you cant deny it. I wish we had never used social media.
What was the experience like? That's amazing that you got to be there nothing beats the 90's era hands down and early 2000's because some of the 90's carried over.
It was amazing! Flew there from California first class, took 12 dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies 🍪 with me and survived the whole weekend! It was crazy insane and btw limp bizkut didn't start the riots.....
I was just talking to a friend about that tonight. For no cell phones back then. We were always finding our friends That were there. we always had a game plan.
Yeah man to exist without everyone staring at their phone or in constant cam surveillance was great. Shit back then we had raves where people danced for fun not spending days choreographing shitty shuffles for Instagram likes. Shame our kids won’t get to enjoy life like this. Fuckin zuckerdick

Woodstock 99 is just as iconic to one generation as Woodstock 69 is to another. The fact that Fred Durst managed to stake his claim to the most memorable performance is quite remarkable lol.

Are you kidding lol he was one of the worst vocalists. Excellent frontman though despite this
you.. you mean when his voice cracks? lol
@@rorz999nah his lows and screams are really good. the high stuff I like and appreciate but not everyone will and I can see why
@@empresscarrie6230I was kinda thinking the same thing! As far as I can remember I've never watched any videos of Limp Bizkit live but going off of this video... Mr Durst's vocals sound really good when he goes low and sort-of growls but the higher vocals when he's sings the verse? I was saying to myself 'Oh no!' 😂
this one performance single handedly changed my whole opinion on this band. Fred Durst is a fucking animal.
Fred Durst Came to my Dads Apartment in 2000 for Bootycall and had a beer with him. Fucking legend
Crazy how good they sound live
years of touring
Huh, they sound absolutely horrible

really? i thought dude sounded fire. the only bad part for me was the "what" part cuz i could barely hear it. lol @@jeffring8954
@@jeffring8954 AMEN bro
Check the big man at 4:13 sliding about the stage like a maniac. These guys were on a different level back then and this isnt even the type of music i listen to but can openly admit..This is pure talent and unbelievable crowd control.
Wes Borland is so underrated as a guitarist and had the performance of his life. Everything he did during the set will long live in the memory 👏
His face paint and outfits are badass
You can hear the adrenaline in Fred's voice as he amps up to "break your fucking face tonight."
That's gotta be a high drugs can't compete with.
You don’t have the good drugs then.
you can FEEL the echoes of that moment through the aeons if you choose to. lol
Oh combine it with drugs I promise it goes up a level.
@@JohnTorres1987nah that's next level adrenaline especially when passion is involved
They said don't play this but I do t blame Fred one bit. This was probably the best moment of all their careers.
It literally made them household names ovenight!
one of the best moments in music history
@@mrconfusion87 they were before, you don't headline Woodstock as a non-household name
@@nicoffee777This was only a month after Significant Other came out. This was a huge part of what propelled them to that household name status.
Fred Durst will be the first to say this performance at Woodstock 99 was the single greatest moment in his entire career.
I wish we could go back to them good ol’ non instagramable non social media days and have limpbizkit BREAK SOME STUFF !!!!!!!!!!!!
February 2024 baby !!!!!!!!!
This song spoke to me in 1999. It still lives somewhere inside my soul. I listen to it now simultaneously loving it and thinking it's hilarious, though.
It connected with 18 yo me, 40 yo me with a wife and kids not so much.
I always hated limp Bizkit. I was in high school at the peak of their popularity and I found them to be insufferable. In fact I think there are guitar player Wes Borland hated the band too and we admit as much in interviews.
I can't believe something so awful was so popular. (*Not sure how many times I've said that in the last however many decades)
@@GullibleMcFly how were they awful?
@@Rose_19911 Embarrassingly stupid lyrics, whiny talk "singing", instantly dated frat boy image, weak songs that are cringingly of their time... Didn't like them then, still can't get into them.
3:40 Maaaaaaann that was a genuine and raw exclamation. What a performance, hats off.
The 90s were phenomenal! The last great decade
You're correct, but in fairness, for this time period.....Limp Bizkit was kind of a new millenium cultural movement. There wasn't really much "90's" about them. I lived through the 90's, and the "90's" as I knew them kind of ended somewhere around the beginning of 1999. Everything just started getting extremely wild and outlandish on a large scale, which was not the 90's at all. Woodstock 1994 captured "the 1990's" spirit perfectly. Woodstock 1999, not so much.
@@truthteller4442 Some even say Woodstock '99 ushered in the new millennium culturally-speaking... 🤣🤣🤣
Nope! The 80's by far was the best decade for music PERIOD! Sorry 90's you don't even come close!
People have said this about every decade since 1920. You were just young then and like it because you were young then. Whatever music is happening at the moment is and has always been liked by younger people and disregarded or disliked by older people. Get some perspective.
3:40 this moment always gives me chills

I never respected Limp Bizket. Until I watched the documentary and I had a nightmare of a job. I went to work and I realized this song is literally how it felt to go work everyday. I left that job but I still listen to this song to get me amped up to run a race or lift weights.
This was the song that defined Woodstock 99 perfectly for everyone there
His vocals are on point. Amazing live performer
The shear energy of this is on a godly level. I almost just tore my room apart listening to this. Fred Durst might have a lot of shit upon him but this was single handedly one of the most epic things I've ever seen
Que subonormal!!... Que un imbécil incite a la violencia y lo peor que le hacen caso porque??
🤣🤣
Facts
Fred is an unbelievable front man and wherever he does. He's got a great metal vocal. 3 dolla bill, significant other and Hot dog are absolutely untouchable.
The guys on the carboard will live in rock history for eternity (dont think they allow that at concerts now)
Not without a mask at least. 🙄
plywood I meant lol
They were ripping speaker and audio platforms apart and riding the sheets of plywood lol this is definitely not allowed
They technically don't but people still try it.
i think i know where they were on january 6th
This performance gives me chills man. He’s totally in control of everyone in that crowd.
That drop gave me chills!! Watching the energy in the crowd...woah 🤯
@a a yes sir 🙌
Yessss girl ❤😂
3:40 - 3:45 must had been the most epic 5 seconds in festival history.
I’ll raise you Korn at this very festival. Check out when they opened up with Blind. It’s insane
I was there!
Skindred doing the Newport Helicopter
Not even in the Top 20. You Gen Z teens really have to expand your musical repertoire.
@@pb4ugo2bed84False. This was true primordial energy. Transcends all generations.
That was a weekend I'll never forget. But then again, I don't really remember that much 😂
What was your experience like? Did you witness anything scary or crazy like the reports say?
wild girl huh
Me neither. I got left there and had to hitchhike back to Ohio. No money, no food, water, no cells phones yet. I lost my friends and was just wondering around for days. 😆 it's so funny now but it was wild. So much aggressive energy due to dirty water, dirty toilets, and price gouging. Also no shade whatsoever and it was over 100 degrees everyday. 😆
Yeah it was an amazing weekend pretty sure that I had a good time but, don't remember a whole lot either.
You know what they say, if you remember it, you weren't really there.
The 90’s was the most insane yet best time to be alive, everything was fucking epic
💯...I'm sure whatever decade was your youth, ppl will say that was the best but being 15-25 yrs old in the 90s was truly special
@@bradymcelveneynope I wasn’t even born in the 90s and I can say the 90s was far better then the crap rap and pop we have now

I was 11 when Woodstock 99 went down. All my favorite bands at the time were there. LB, Korn, Rage, Metallica, Godsmack, Sevendust, Bush, Chili Peppers, Offspring, my hometown boys Gargantua Soul and sooo many more. But when Limp went on man, if that wasn’t a sign of the times I don’t know what was. That shit was fucking the most badass chaos imaginable! Long live LB
All my favorite bands too!
I was just talking to my homie about this weekend… I’m aware of how chaotic this event became, but as a rebellious millennial, i’m so envious of everyone that attended this event.
All we got these days is EDC........that shits cool and everything, but there is no event (on paper)that I would rather go to than Woodstock 99. Just looking at the performances and the line-up, they were freakin amazing. This is all notwithstanding all the chaos lol.....
@@Tony-fq5bn there’s a whole lot better festivals than edc. Theyre definitely out there
@@sloedwn7509 Nah, but theres nothing that compares to Woodstock these days, and like, all the festivals I see these days are really mixed up like all genre's mixed together.....and they just wont have the same energy as Woodstock. EDC is honestly a whole different energy, but I don't think any of the rock festivals will ever come close to match Woodstock energy again
This blows my mind every time I watch it. Better live than recorded. The energy is crazy.
how can anyone watch this and not conclude that they did an amazing job?
This performance really depicts the ideals of Woodstock: Peace, Love and Harmony. So peaceful ❤
fred durst doesnt get alot of credit. His voice live is really good
Limp bizkit was the shit back in the day, they did alot of dumb choices in the early 00s which made them lose public opinion
And he still sounds the same today! I saw him at Inkcarceration in July and man, they were amazing
@@Teh_Random_Canadianwhat happened in early 2000
@@miguelalejandro4357Wes just left
nigga no
no matter what happened at Woodstock being destroyed, what a performance!
A set that literally went down in history and brought the house down! Absolutely incredible if only we could live like it was 1999! ❤
Any musician that has the crowd in the palm of their hand has my respect... salute Limp Bizkit
Agreed, never got into the band, but man, they had that crowd, intense!
I will never forget when this went down! It was complete madness! I'll never forget that energy when they played! For as hot and miserable as it was I still enjoyed the bands and the overall experience of Woodstock 99.. I'd do it again if I could.
Me too. I wouldn't be able to walk for a few days after but I'm in. Haha.
Would have loved to have been there
I'd love to be there and listen to all those bands!!!
Any crazy stories?
@@TripleB-nb8en I have too many crazy stories to tell from Woodstock 99. Imagine tripping balls and it's 100 degrees and your girlfriend starts having a bad trip and is dehydrated.. I'm literally peaking on my trip and I'm having to talk to these tent doctors trying to explain what drugs we were on.. there's just too much in this story for me to type it all lol but I think everybody that went has crazy stories from it. It was madness! But I'd do it all over again because it's something that I will never forget.
Just finished the Woodstock 99 doco on Netflix and came here to watch some more of LB. One of my favourite bands still to these days. This was one hell of a show! Wish I was there
The times will never come back but it will be always in us!! This feeling!!
So happy i can watch this videos to go back in time.
That drop is insane
Works like magic
I moved to Los Angeles in 2000. A friend of mine asked me before I left if I ever saw Fred Durst to punch him in the face. He was not a fan. Two days after I got there I ran into him at a bar and I bought him a beer. I never told my friend.
🤣🤣🤣
Cause when it came time to throw hands you nutted up?

100%

Cuz people think it's cool to hate. Still they come here and watch the vid, because LB is their "guilty pleasure".
Dude there is like nu-metal amnesia as a whole all that shit was going MULTI PLATINUM,
I was born in 97. And i just seen them live recently. Still an amazing show. One of my favorite bands.
We really were living in the best times and we didn't even know it
I grew up in the 90s I wasn’t there live but I had the privilege of listening to limp bizkit back in the day! It was the greatest decade
I gotta ask how was the experience of Woodstock 99
@@colinallen6500 i never was at Woodstock I was 8 years old at the time, what I was saying was I had the privilege growing up in the 90s listening to jams like limp bizkit and kid rock plus dmx, and this Woodstock pointed it out, huge mega stars on the greatest era! There will never be another Woodstock like this, even though there was suppose to be one in 2019 who was suppose to entertain us “Miley Cyrus” “lil nas x” “nicki” nah hell nah, glad there wasn’t one, but Woodstock 99 was like the wrestlemania of them all
@@sicariobrother316 i think astroworld was sort of like a woodstock i guess (it obviously went wrong too)
Wow. I love that none of the documentaries mention that the sound stage was already being destroyed BEFORE this song is played…
That's what I was just thinking. Trying to paint LB as the blame when in reality the whole organisation what a shit show from the get go.
They probably wouldn't have let them make the documentary without blaming LB like that
They won't let it go. They refuse to take any self accountability. They will blame LB until they all die.
We all know it was their fault. Im glad this documentary brought so much light to this topic. Last time I thought about Woodstock and all the shit I knew about it I figured it was going to be a forgotten memory forced to be forgotten by the organizers who's only goal was to profit.
This is literally true as Michael Lang died recently.
17 year old me, 3 days of unhinged insanity. I was there at Woodstock 99 for 2 things, Korn and Limp Bizkit... TAKE ME BACK
You're 42 unc get off youtube 😭
I still listen to Limp Bizkit to this day (would not recommend doing so while driving) and their songs just hit you in the gut. The 90s was the perfect time to be an angsty teen and I'm so glad I was there to experience it! Just sad I couldn't be at Woodstock '99. Even though it was probably hell being in that sweltering heat and sewage with no water and on tarmac no less, it would've been that one event you will remember for the rest of your life.
100% said the same
what will happen if u drive listening to limp bizkit? u will fall asleep?
Bien dicho Riley
I agree. Also your musical play list is like time traveling. I'd add teenage dirt bag to your set list!!
Good news! After ten long years, we’ve finally got a new album!
That drop! Holy shit! I've watched and listened to this video like 20 times in a row and when it drops and he says "break your fucking face tonight" I lose it!!! 🤘🤟👏
Fred was not at fault for what happened. He put on a freakin show.
All he did was do the show he was paid to do. The promoters are at fault for allowing price gouging and cutting corners on security and sanitation control.
And not having a clue who they booked. Why would they have Alanis Morrisat go on right before LB, Rage and Metallica.
@@MrArby80 exactly, how do you change genres that ubrutly, than have limp bizkit, metallica, and then ratm, it doesnt make sense
Yea how can they blame the guy who told everyone in the crowd to start breaking shit for the fact that they immediately started breaking shit. Unbelievable!
One of the greatest performances in music history
i miss these times. Everything was so raw and wild and rebellious. Being a complete dumbfuck but proud of it was the norm. But also everyhing was so ease and people got along with each other the lack of internet was truly a good thing. Social media has made us all biased af and you cant deny it. I wish we had never used social media.
The power he held in his hands was probably unexplainable.
We need this energy again in 2022.
Holy shit we do not. It’s already crazy as it is
no we dont dipshit
Yes we do
no man no!!!!
Fuck yea send it I'll be in the front row!
2021. Still gives me chills when the song kicks in. Legendary.
No matter what you think about them this is legendary
I’m 50 years and didn’t really vibe with Limp Bizkit then. But now I see his genius. The guy is a true American rocker!
“We all feel like shit”
Damn right, I relate to this song after coming home after a shitty day at work.
Yes 🙌
Always listen it. Every day.
Time to get a new job lol
Literally because all of the water was full of fecal matter lmao. gross.
One of the best Performances of fred durst and limp bizkit

Yeah man to exist without everyone staring at their phone or in constant cam surveillance was great. Shit back then we had raves where people danced for fun not spending days choreographing shitty shuffles for Instagram likes. Shame our kids won’t get to enjoy life like this. Fuckin zuckerdick
