[Limp Bizkit’s Break Stuff!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpUYjpKg9KY&feature=av2e) It’s not really my style of song but, holy fuck, does it make me want to kick some ass. ---

wow, some seriously gay images in that Heather Alexander video. I can go with Scotland the brave as kickass, but not the Metallica, or rather, not that particular one - ‘Hit the lights’ is far better. Godsmack - not bad, the extensive effects on his voice spoil it rather, far too much like he’s trying too hard, good bassline though. Supersuckers - been done before and much better White Zombies - that bass line is a rip straight off Led Zeps - The immigrant, compare it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCvMKcNJCAY](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCvMKcNJCAY) and the Zep version is way more kickass The Limp Bizkit isn’t my sort of stuff either, but… There isn’t much argument with Ted Nugent, pretty mean stuff, yes, I like that a lot. That Republica song was played to death in the UK, its ok but to be honest I thought that Skunk Anansie was way more kickass that that, [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pRH807Zg8MQ/hqdefault.jpg "Skunk Anansie - Selling Jesus") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRH807Zg8MQ) [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HsAxYzMQX5Y/hqdefault.jpg "all i want - skunk anansie") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsAxYzMQX5Y) ---
