In a new interview with EW, Coldplay singer Chris Martin confesses he still holds a special place in his heart for Limp Bizkit, the rap-rock band that broke big the same year Coldplay released their first album (and have gradually fallen off the radar since). “It might be unfashionable to say it at the moment, but Limp Bizkit had a lot of life in them when they were at their best,” he says. “Just watch, in about 10 years people will start saying, ‘You know what? They were great.’” Martin goes on to add that “Rollin’” is his favorite Bizkit song and that their version of The Who’s ”Behind Blue Eyes” is better than the original. “Call me sacrilege,” he deadpans. “I’m proud to say it right here, live and on the record.”

Dude, I used to hate Coldplay and Chris Martin til they started doing interviews for their new album. Now I think they’re awesome guys. Anyone who owns up so boldly to their guilty pleasures gets cool points. He did it all for the nookie, indeed.
David A. Was the real winner
Not David C.
Fred Durst may be a DBag, but Limp Bizkit made some great rock songs. “My Way” is still an awesome song.
uhm. coldplay sucks, but Bizkit should definately come back ! Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish were their best albums. miss those days!
