The Story Behind: Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water, Ep 213

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums.  Limp Bizkit went out of their way to make the world dislike them - as a strategy! Then with a multiplatinum album already under their belts, they upped the ante with their next release. The guys get together to discuss a true classic of nu-metal and they touch on Fred's vocal stylings, Wes' outfits, and the rhythm section who are significantly better than expected.
