Here is the email that reportedly came
from Fred Durst and my response. This email came after I ran a story on
a rumor that Limp Bizkit had found a new guitarist and I decided to report
on it. For a goof I added a blurb about how AJ from the Backstreet Boys
had taken a six-week crash course in guitar in hopes of filling the spot.
It was a joke but Much Music picked up the entire story, even the part
about AJ.. opps. - I originally posted the email and the response
on the message boards when one long time reader asked about it. So first
is his post and then my reponse which includes the emails. - aG

Man, I read that anniversary thing for
antimusic and laughed my ass off about that fred durst and hair metal singer
thing. Did you honestly tell Fred Durst he wouldn't be so angry if he came
out of the closet? That's priceless but wouldn't he start a bunch of shit
with you if you did? You can come clean man. It's a good story whether
it really happened or not, I just wanna know if it did.
Got a couple of questions
from that thing. What hair metal singer was it? and was the magazine editor
you trashed the guy from Metal Edge? I ran into him at a show here in Vegas
(GNR) and he was drunk with a loud mouth and he was carrying copies of
his magazine around, that what made me think it was him.
Man, three years huh? Seems
like I've been gone that long. Good job man. Don't forget to hook me up
with the 411.

To be honest with you, I didn't
want to do that interview but Jamie kept insisting on it saying we should
mark the 3 year milestone etc. We did that at like 8 in the morning, so
you can see the caffine kickin in as it goes along. =) We actually cut
a lot out but it still ended up too long. What can I say, I like to ramble.
Well glad you enjoyed it. I think that will be last time I do something
like that, just not my thing to be on the other end of interviews. If you
know what I mean? Besides I don't think most people at anti really care!
what the hell, for those that are interested, it's up there.

It was Don Dokken. The funny
thing is a couple month after that I saw a then current pr photo of them
and he was wearing lipstick and spandex!

I mentioned that I wasn't sure
if it was really him. The email address it came from looked legit, it came
from his record company and when I sent my reply it didn't bounce back.
But he never responded. I actually kept the emails. I'll go ahead and post
them here. his email was pretty funny.
(I'm removing the email address,
I don't need to have this jaggoff giving me a hard time for posting it,
eventhough he posted Wes' email on his site recently.)

4:44 AM Subject: **** you!
**** you anti turd. i read
that stoopid shit you wrote about a.j. macclean joinin bizkit you think
thats funny you **** hed? your nuthin but a hater man your just some gelous
computer geek sitting at a computer talkin shit cuz you cant play music. ****in haters suck.
let me tell you something more people buy my cds and tickets to my concert than read
your shitty little sight. antimusic what a peice of shit. you a stupid little punk and
if you ever talk more shit i'm gonna come over and kick your ****in ass you stupid cocksuckin
geek. go back and listen to you creed assmusic cuz bizkit rules and you better not ****in
foget that punk or ill have your ass
I'm not sure if this is
really you but if it is then thank you for your email. You give me hope because now I know
that people with a second grade education can find success.
You might want to work
on that anger of yours. Maybe if you came out of the closet you wouldn't be carrying around
all that repressed anger. It's no secret, so what are you afraid of? I'm being serious
here, you really should be honest, you might feel a little better and you wouldn't have
to try and beat around the bush with cyriptic album titles like "3 Dollar Bill", "Significant
Others" and "Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water". I admit that last one
was the most creative but also pretty easy to see through. So do yourself a favor and just
be honest with yourself then maybe people wouldn't think you were such a raging asshole.
Then again, you are, so it might not change peoples mind about you and your talentless
music but you might not be as angry at the world. Just a kindly piece of advise from a "hater".
Peace aG
PS People don't hate you
because your popular or they're jealous, they hate you because you are an arrogant asshole.
I don't even think your shitty music has anything to do with it. It's because
you have that tendency of yours to show your ass in public and be a real
prick.

In some ways that seems really
long but in others it seems like I've been doing this forever. I don't
know if you take all the hours compared to a 9 to 5 it's probably equal
to like 5 years. Anyway, thank man. hope you enjoy the full Durst email.
