Commerford also reminisced about one of his most notable moments in rock: crashing the stage and climbing the backdrop during Limp Bizkit’s MTV Video Music Awards speech in 2000. As Durst and company took the stage to accept Best Rock Video for “Break Stuff” — beating out Rage Against the Machine’s “Sleep Now in the Fire” — Commerford perched himself 20 feet in the air, swaying the giant backdrop while a team of security and stagehands looked on bemused before climbing after him.
“It’s aged like wine,” Commerford says of the incident. “What was uncomfortable and a little bit bitter in 2000, now I savor it. I get more people that come up to me now. Back in 2000, it was like, ‘Dude, I saw you do that. What was that all about?’ Now, it’s like, ‘Dude, I saw you do that. That was so fuckin’ awesome! I love that.’ It feels more comfortable now to talk about.”
Asked if he had any regrets for the stunt, which found the bassist arrested for disorderly conduct and spending the night in jail, Commerford admits to only one. “I wish I would’ve swung on that thing and brought it to the ground and just destroyed it,” he says. “If I could do it all over again, I would’ve ripped that thing to the ground and shredded it.”
RATM did it right.
Someone needs to get Commerford and Durst on a podcast together so they can hash this shit out. I'm sure it'd make for podcasting gold.
Apology not accepted. Thanks
Auditioning for the lunatic asylum?
Give that man a ceeegar!
Mike Patton and Faith No More had way more of an influence on those “Rap-Metal” bands, for better or worse. Mike Patton is the greatest front man ever.
Commerford's a STUD!
🤣🤣🤣
All that shit came from Korn anyways... RATM was an outlier.
Lmaoo
Thank you for your apology lol.
The level at which this made me laugh is incalculable.
Rage definitely pulls off something that nobody else really can.

They have a point It's really hard to debate the rigging once you privatize water. So is the American one. But then, that is the natural tendency, democracy morphs into tyranny. Indeed, the. problem though is that it could end up even more rigged in favour of an even smaller elite, like what has happened in Venezuela
