Metal Anarchy

During a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Fear Factory’s Dino Cazares explained why he turned down an offer to join Limp Bizkit in 2001. The guitarist said the following:

“Because it was in 2001 and I felt that that style of nü-metal had already hit its peak. Limp Bizkit’s [sound] was already oversaturated and on its way down. I said, ‘If I actually got that gig, it would have been career suicide.’ Fear Factory, we were pretty much at our peak. And it’s funny because, two years later, I was out of Fear Factory.”
