The Search For The “illist” Guitar Player Known To Man
.

back to page 1

I put the dossiers together and Fed-ex’d them overnight to the talent agent and awaited a response.  I thought he would be pleased with the candidates I came up with. Surely one of them would be perfect for the job. 

Much to my dismay I did hear from the talent agent the next day and he spent twenty minutes cursing me over the phone and refused to pay my fee since he said I botched the job so badly. It turns out that I misunderstood the apparently illiterate frontman of the group’s statement about wanting to find the “illist guitar player known to man”. 

Turns out that when he said “illist” he was using the outdated rap slang meaning best. Since I am not too familiar with rap jargon and haven’t heard that term used in years, I simply didn’t understand that he wasn’t being literal. 

I closed the case at the point and eventually had to sue the talent agent to receive my fee. The court did find in my favor since I had a contract and the judge found that the instructions I was given containing the “illist” guitar player requirement were misleading. 

As I turn this story into my friends over at antiMUSIC, that group still has not found their illist guitar player. But the apparently illiterate frontman has claimed that he didn’t really need one since he had been the mastermind behind ALL of the group’s music from day one and they proceeded to record the new album without a permanent guitarist.  I don’t know about you but I doubt I will be picking up a copy of that new album when it comes out unless I wanted to experience the true meaning of "ill". 

Until next time this is Dirk Spenser-- Rock Detective signing off.

Lol. Fred Durst is a dumbass, ihatefreddurst.com is a super site :) And yes, no guitarist with any self-respect would join that pathetic excuse for a band.


Posted by Chronic:
Fred durst is a f*cking faggot, and what kind of good guitar player in their right mind would join limp bizkit??? its a mystery to me...


Posted by Smotz:
Please join the anti-fred durst movement.


Posted by Jason:

Posted by ritalin:
great stuff dirk.


Posted by Dirk:
We know the new guitarist is full of snot but is he the "illist" guitarist on the planet? Took him long enough to find a new job.


Posted by K.H.A.:
Hey a$$holes, LB found a guitarist so u guys can just shut tha f*ck up and kiss my a$$! Mike Smith Rules!


Posted by speaker of truths:
That was the most hilarious thing I've read in some time, Bravo!


Posted by Dreamy Rover:
So... heck... why can't LIMP BIZKIT find a guitarist? Hmm... because 'terminally ill' or 'illest' guitarists die before they think of joining hands with Fred Durst. And the 'Best' guitarists wouldn't be so 'ill' to join LIMP BIZKIT. Ha ha... no self-respecting guitarist with any degree of caliber of playing guitar would join LB. So you can still love Fred back and kick (not kiss) his ass!
