Limp Bizkit Cancel U.S. Tour, Citing Sit-Down Venues As Reason

The recently reunited Limp Bizkit have canceled their upcoming reunion tour, citing not personal drama, the fact they suck, or no one wanting to listen to music most often associated with the reason Woodstock '99 devolved into a field of rape, but the fact that they were booked to play a shitload of sit-down arena venues. 

"Basically, Limp is not an amphitheatre band," Fred Durst wrote on his Twitter. "We like to see less seats in front of the stage and more floor filled w [sic] fans going bananas. It's just more fun for all of us that way. Some bands are meant to be seen mainly sitting down, but definitely not Limp Bizkit."

The band plans to re-route their tour at a later date, trying to get venues where people can "go bananas," which I'm sure is not the most accurate description of what happens at a Limp Bizkit concert. The most egregious part of the story? Spinner calls them a "punk" band. Hahahahaha. Good one, Spinner.
