Limp Bizkit to team up with Neil Diamond?
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 9 April 2009
Okay, here’s one to file under ‘WHAAAAAAAAAT?!’, Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and Neil Diamond have been discussing working together after getting in touch via Twitter.
Prolific Twitterer Fred Durst fired off a message to Neil Diamond last month, saying: “I am a huge fan of yours. We should do a collaboration – Neil Diamond meets my band Limp Bizkit. Sounds fresh”. Yeah right, you think to yourself, but back came the reply: “I’d love to, where and when?”. Before moving to a private conversation, Durst said: “FANTASTIC!!!!! Incredible!! What a dream come true thanks to Twitter!!”
Assuming both Twitter-ers are the real deal, which I think we are, it remains to be seen if anything will come of this. I mean, what could be bad about a collaboration between a 68 year old singer-songwriter and a man who writes messages on Twitter like this: “It’s Freddy D. I’m gonna attack this. No slack. Flip you like a mattress. Yall’s tactics need practice. Who’s actor? Who’s actress? – morning”.
