Everyone was listening to Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit and Korn.<\/p>\n<p>What happened to those bands? Well, Linkin Park actually released a new album yesterday, <i>The Hunting Party<\/i>, and recently headlined Download Festival. It&#8217;s fair to say they\u2019re still pretty big.<\/p>\n<p>But what happened to the other rock bands we all knew and loved as baggy-jeaned teens? Let\u2019s find out&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>In this blog:<\/h2>\n<p>In the early 2000s, rock bands like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and Korn were dominant. Linkin Park remains popular, releasing new music. Limp Bizkit reunited and has an upcoming album. Alien Ant Farm is recording new material. Andrew W.K. is now a life coach. Puddle of Mudd continues with only the original vocalist. Papa Roach still enjoys popularity, especially in the US. System of a Down performs occasionally and may release a new album. Adema and Taproot continue making music, though not mainstream. Slipknot remains huge, releasing chart-topping albums and headlining festivals.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Limp Bizkit<\/h3>\n<p><b>The song you remember:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RYnFIRc0k6E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Where are they now? <\/b>After becoming one of the biggest bands in the world after releasing <i>Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water<\/i> in 2000, Limp Bizkit faded away a bit. Their 2003 album <i>Results May Vary<\/i> sold poorly, and after releasing another dud, Fred Durst disappeared soon after.<\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s original line-up got back together in 2009 to release a comeback record, <i>Gold Cobra.\u00a0<\/i>It got great reviews at the time, but no-one remembers it now.<\/p>\n<p>That hasn\u2019t stopped Fred and co having another bash though, and their new album <i>Stomp of the Disco Elephants <\/i>comes out next month.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Alien Ant Farm<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>The song you remember:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CDl9ZMfj6aE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Where are they now?: <\/b>Despite <i>Smooth Criminal<\/i> hitting #2 in the UK, Alien Ant Farm\u2019s success soon dried up. A string of albums went unnoticed, band members came and went and, in 2011, it looked like the band would split for good.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the original members got back together and are currently recording a new album. They\u2019re asking for fan donations to fund it, although you can\u2019t ask for more Michael Jackson covers when you donate.<\/p>\n<h3>Andrew W.K<\/h3>\n<p><b>The song you know:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WccfbPQNMbg\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Where is he now? <\/b>Mr W.K is still partying hard, although he now uses Twitter to spread his message of \u201d\u02dcpositive partying\u2019. Yep, he\u2019s a life coach. Check out his pearls of wisdom here.<\/p>\n<h3>Puddle of Mudd<\/h3>\n<p><b>The song you know: <\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BYE4CVhVkhw\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Where are they now?: <\/b>Still going, apparently, although vocalist Wes Scantlin is the only original member.<\/p>\n<p>According to Wikipedia, a recent concert didn\u2019t go well: Scantlin threw a microphone and beer into the audience, threatened to fight several fans and lip-synced throughout. Rock n\u2019 roll, eh?<\/p>\n<h3>Papa Roach<\/h3>\n<p><b>The song you know: <\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/20jvV-BPNSk\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Where are they now? <\/b>Papa Roach are still quite popular, especially in their native US. Their last album hit #17 in the US chart, which isn\u2019t bad at all. It even hit #37 in the UK, so they definitely have fans over here still too.<\/p>\n<h3>System of a Down<\/h3>\n<p><b>The song you know:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CSvFpBOe8eY\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Where are they now? <\/b>After the success of <i>Toxicity,<\/i> the band released two massively popular albums: <i>Mesmerise <\/i>and <i>Hypnotise<\/i>, with the former hitting #2 in the UK charts. The band went on hiatus soon after, returning in 2010 for the odd live show. They apparently have a new album in the works too.<\/p>\n<h3>Adema<\/h3>\n<p><b>The song you know: <\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QTOKnYNI3tU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Where are they now?: <\/b>Adema disappeared from the mainstream shortly after <i>Giving In<\/i> and another hit, <em>The Way You Like It<\/em>, was released. They\u2019re still plugging away, although their last album came out nearly 7 years ago. Don\u2019t hold your breath, Adema fans.<\/p>\n<h3>Taproot<\/h3>\n<p><b>The song you know:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9YGL3amPmyc\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Where are they now?: <\/b>Still chugging away at it. Like Adema, they haven\u2019t had a hit since <i>Poem<\/i> but they\u2019re planning to release a new album soon, which is nice.<\/p>\n<h3>Slipknot<\/h3>\n<p><b>The song you know:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B1zCN0YhW1s\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Where are they now?: <\/b>One of the biggest bands in the world. Their last <i>album, All Hope is Gone,<\/i> reached #2 in the UK charts, and they play arenas and headline festivals throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p>Lead singer Corey Taylor has since demasked and fronts another hugely successful band, Stone Sour. A new album is expected soon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And remember: if you own any of the above and are a little bit embarrassed, you can <a title=\"Sell CDs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/entertainment\/sell-cds\/\">sell your CDs with musicMagpie<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in the early 2000s, you couldn\u2019t move for rock bands.
