Rage Against The Machine bassist apologises

Rage Against The Machine bass player Tim Commerford has apologised for the fact that his band inadvertently led to the creation of Limp Bizkit.

Fred Durst of the latter band has spoken in the past about the influence Rage Against The Machine have had on him while Limp Bizkit regularly cover 'Killing In The Name' in their live sets. At a 2014 live gig in New York, Durst praised Rage Against the Machine and dedicated a song "to the rap-rock band that started this shit."

Rolling Stone spoke to Commerford about his band and mentioned Durt's love for what they did together. However, it soon became clear that the feeling was not mutual. "I do apologise for Limp Bizkit," Commerford said. "I really do. I feel really bad that we inspired such bullshit."
