You know something, I feel bad for the band, because Fred is really caught up in what goes on in the pages of People and Us Weekly. I kinda like the band, but the image they've surrounded themselves in.
Heres an example. I went to the last Summer Sanitarium concert, LB was playing there along with the deftones, linkin park, and mudvayne (and obviously Metallica since its their show) and all the bands were selling merch their, but its mostly t-shirts and stickers and crap. not Limb bizkit, they were selling backpacks...like for school.
What market is that going toward? When I was in high school not so long ago no one used backpacks endorsed by anyone. That was clearly aimed at the Middle school crowd (11-14).
