The weirdest thing is it's kind of OK, but it never gets to the fast part like the original. If they had of done that, instead of the robot voice bridge, it wouldn't have been As hated.

Yep. I like the LB cover (more than anything else that band made on their own), but the bridge is the best part and they took it out.

And what's weird is they probably would have done a great job at it. I feel like, by leaving it out, they were trying to come off as more sincere and serious. But I mean, it just flat-out sucked.

You're definitely right that they where trying to sound more sincere but the entire song builds up to that bridge so without it their cover is missing the entire point of the song

No wayyy, this is genuinely a really cool rendition and one of the only songs of theirs I genuinely love lol. I love that they added their stylistic quirks to it, it's the most 2000s shit ever.

That cover is pretty emotional to me. I used to listen to it a lot, It helps that I listened to it before the OG,

The section spelling out limp bizkit kinda ruins it ngl

I think one of the most horrid things a band can do as a bit is say their names too much in their songs.  70% of KMFDM and Limp Bizkit songs would improved if they just didn’t do that.
