Fred Durst Wants His Limp Bizkit Back

When Billy Corgan placed a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune in June 2005, he stated that he wanted to "renew and revive the Smashing Pumpkins." Two years later, the band are back with a new lineup and new album.

Now it appears that Limp Bizkit lead singer Fred Durst is trying to rally the troops as well, but without paying for the full-page ad.

"I really want to do a limp bizkit tour," Durst wrote recently in a blog entry on the band's MySpace page. "not just any tour. one that is monumental. a landmark event. I would love to do a tour with the ORIGINAL limp bizkit. john, sam, wes, me, and lethal. that's what I truly want.

"I miss touring SO FUCKING BAD. the feeling we have on stage as limp bizkit is like no other feeling I have ever had and no other feeling has been so rewarding."

The group haven't toured in North America since 2003 when they were part of Metallica's Summer Sanitarium trek. A seven-track EP called The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) was issued in 2005, but met with a lukewarm response. The Greatest Hitz compilation, featuring three previously unreleased songs, also came out that year.

Guitarist Wes Borland has since left the group to concentrate on his own projects. His band Black Light Burns should release their Cruel Melody debut album in June. There's been some bad blood between Borland and Durst, but it seems like the singer wants to patch things up, according to his post.

"imagine that me and wes could work things out together and be a band again, friends again. fucking imagine that!! we had so many wonderful times. So many magically unforgettable moments. i am proud to say that i have learned so much from my mistakes and it has taken a long time to evolve to this place where i finally let myself be healed. without limp bizkit i would have never gotten here. without wes i wouldn't know what it is like to work with the best."

Durst's budding film directing career can't be doing too well, as he seems positively obsessive about reforming the band.

"I listent to all the limp albums all of the time and I get so mental and emotional," Durst writes. "It tears my heart in half the same time it makes my adrenaline boil.

"I live it. we all live it. all of us. I want limp bizkit."
