Nu metal, like a predilection for kiddy grumble, is an embarrassment best locked into a cupboard never again to see the light of day. But if Fred Durst's internet ramblings are to be believed, the joys of an old man moaning about his parents asking him to clean his bedroom to the sound of hamfisted metal riffs might once more blight our tender ears.

According to a post entitled 'LBF' ('Let's Bugger Fred'?), Durst seems to suggest that the band might be on the verge of reuniting.

"Hello my dear family members," Durst writes. "Yes, it has been a while. But a while worth the wait. It is getting very close to time to drop the bizkit on the universe. I say this with the absolute best intentions and motivation. We, Limp Bizkit, are excited about the future for us and for you. LBF is the way. LBF is for life. Let's stir some shit up my friends.

"Also, if you would like to chat with me on Facebook then by all means meet me there. I will stay up on this MySpace thing more often for all of you as well. I am a very proud member of this family and know you feel the same.

"Today is a very special day. Make a note of it. I will post a different variety of songs as well a little later." Don't feel obliged, old boy.
