Nu-metal rock band Limp Bizkit brought his Loserville Tour to Holmdel NJ Tuesday evening. PNC was filled with red caps and fans of all ages. The lineup seemed questionable, having many fans wondering who they were and still looked puzzled as they came on. Corey Feldman started the show with very sparkly outfits and at one point dressing up as the “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson, replicating his every move. I was a huge fan of Corey Feldman in the 80’s, he was a box office draw in my favorite movies including “The Goonies,” “Stand By Me,” “Gremlins” and “The Lost Boys.” Some would say that it was awkward to see him on stage but I found him to be very entertaining. He is “The Comback King” after all!

N8NOFACE was a very unique set and lost the attention of most of the audience. Mostly hitting himself in the head and screaming as he walked back and forth, there wasn’t much more to see. Next up was Bones who are best known for their emo rap featuring Xavier Wulf and Eddy Baker. They sounded great and played a full set but left Limp Bizkit fans feeling as if they were at the wrong show although I believe that was the whole point of having so many different music styles for openers.

After waiting patiently for almost 3 hours, Limp Bizkit finally hit the stage. Guitarist Wes Borland came out in his metallic mask and had us all mesmerized. The man (Limp Bizkit) who was filled with male rage and had quite a fallout from the disastrous Woodstock 1999 seemed to have turned the page. This was evident throughout the show as Limp Bizkit seemed to be enjoying the more “fun” side of life. He seemed more at peace and even brought kids up onstage during “Livin’ It Up” so they could watch the show from the center of the stage. He was full of energy and delivered hits such as “My Way”, “Nookie”, “Break Stuff” and a bonus cover of “Killing in the Name” by Rage Against the Machine”. All and all, a very memorable show!
