I REMEMBER WATCHING THE 2000 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS BACK IN 2000 AND THINKING…IS THIS PART OF THE SHOW OR A SPONTANEOUS METAL MOMENT? YOU SEE…LIMP BIZKIT WAS ACCEPTING THE AWARD FOR BEST ROCK VIDEO FOR “BREAK STUFF” WEHN SOME DUDE STARTED TO CLIMB THE BACK DROP ON STAGE AND WHILE THE FAKE PALM TREES HE WAS CLIMBING WERE SWAYING BACK AND FORTH, THEY SEEMED SOLID ENOUGH TO HOLD HIS WEIGHT…THAT GUY WAS RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE’S BASS PLAYER TIM COMMERFORD AND HE WAS PROTESTING LIMP BIZKIT’S WIN…RAGE WAS ALSO NOMINATED IN THE CATEGORY FOR “SLEEP NOW IN THE FIRE”…AT THE PODIUM, BIZKIT FRONTMAN FRED DURST TELLS COMMERFORD “STAGE DIVE DUDE!” THE CROWD STARTED TO CHANT “JUMP”…DURST WENT ON TO SAY “THIS GUY IS ROCK AND ROLL, HE SHOULD BE GETTING THE AWARD”… THE ONLY AWARD COMMERFORD GOT AFTER HE WAS COAXED DOWN WAS ARRESTED & A NIGHT IN JAIL. OH…AND THE OTHER RAGE BAND MEMBERS WEREN’T ON BOARD WITH HIS ANTICS & A MONTH AFTER THE INCIDENT CUMMERFORD EXITED THE BAND…”SLEEP NOW IN THE FIRE”…IT’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND ON 105.7 THE X
