There's definitely an obstacle in developing a brand for yourself that people can rely on when you're so eclectic.

When Wes came back to Limp Bizkit, we really wanted to do something different. We wanted to make a core record that we didn't care who liked or who disliked.

I loved the Cure and Bauhaus and the Smiths. The people in my town weren't privy to that kind of music and I got abused. I discovered the microphone to get out some of that angst.

I do think that some bands seem to be dabbling in the rock-hip-hop world and are not necessarily serious about it.

When I go to shows, I'm really looking forward to hearing the songs I know. I don't like it when a band tries to expose me to new stuff.
