Limp Bizkit - Inspired By Guns N' Roses Video

Wonder what inspired Limp Bizkit's idea for the video of "Rollin'," which was shot on top of the World Trade Center in New York on Wednesday (Sept. 6)? U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name"? Nope. It was Guns N' Roses' "Don't Cry"; so says Fred Durst in an interview with the Kevin & Bean morning show on L.A. alternative radio station KROQ.

"We wanted to be like Guns N' Roses," Durst told Kevin & Bean. This was the first time a music video was shot atop the WTC. The clip, according to Durst, features shots from a helicopter swooping down around the Statue of Liberty and around the heli-pad on the roof where the band is seen performing. The video also features lots of braless girls. "It's definitely another reason to hate us more," quipped Durst....
