Durst Pleas With Fans
Fred Durst seems a bit peeved that people have "obviously forgotten" about his band. He is coming up with new schemes to reinvigorate interest and try to get fans out to the upcoming tour with Korn.  You can read a bit from Durst in these two posting from limpbizkit.com: 

What up people!! It's fd here. Just left rehearsal and we are doing a sick cover of one of my favorite artists ont he back to basics tour. I would like one of you to be sure to get the best bootleg of it as possible!! I would like to put out a bootleg version of our performance in a live album and give whoever gets the best recording a producer credit on the album. It will probably say "Brought to you by....." 

And on the other end of things, I am gearing up for our next release. It's gonna be a heavy one. Now that everyone has had a few minutes to live with RMV we think we can unleash a real single. It's time to put our hearts where your eyes and ears are!! There is one thing we are sure of and that is that Limp Bizkit is a real f***ing rock band! Like or leave it. It's time to show you what you've obviously forgotten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get your ass out to the Back2Basics tour. The first show is in Vegas and i am stoked!! Vegas crowds are so f***ing dope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See ya there. If not watch your back!! 

Second message: I am gonna be posting my own homemade movies on the site from the Back2Basics Tour 2003 and just whenever i feel like it. I will have my G4 17" with me on tour and it has the iSight camera hooked up to it so i can record Quicktime movies instantly and post them. I will also be shooting with my video cam and editing together ill movies on the tour bus and posting those also. I can't put them all on the regular site so a lot of them will go into the fanclub members area because the videos might get pretty ill as the tour progresses. This is gonna take the limpbizkit site to the next level. You'll see for yourself.

Tenacious Hunger
Billboard reports:  With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the members of Tenacious D announced Monday that they would begin a 45-day hunger strike at 5 p.m. 

In a satirical move to promote the DVD "The Complete Masterworks," due Tuesday via Epic, members Jack Black and Kyle Gass said they will climb into a seven-foot by three-foot by seven-foot glass box 50 yards above Times Square at the intersection of 45th Street and Broadway, where they will remain for the length of the strike. 

The intersection is the location of MTV studios, where they were to appear on Monday's episode of "Total Request Live." 

Actor/singer/guitarist Black said the strike would end early one three conditions: if "The Complete Masterworks" goes platinum, if "hunger is solved" or if there is peace in Middle East. 

The duo made the announcement dressed in silver and white superhero costumes, with the letter "D" covering their barrel-shaped chests, white gloves on their hands and white capes tied around their necks. In addition to water and one red cell phone, Black quipped that they would bring one guitar into the glass box with them. "If we need extra nourishment, we will live off each others' rock." 

After the hunger strike, Black said the group will continue working on the long-awaited Tenacious D movie, "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny."
