Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff (Official Music Video)

"Break Stuff" is Limp Bizkit's bad mood bottled and shaken, the fourth and last single pulled from Significant Other, their second album, out on Interscope in 1999, and sent out in tandem with "N 2 Gether Now". Terry Date produced and recorded it with the band, Brendan O'Brien mixed it, and Fred Durst and DJ Lethal share the lyric credit over music that grinds and lurches like a wrecking crew with a grudge. It has stayed a fixture of the band's live sets ever since.

The video, filmed at Skatelab, is a who's who of the moment: Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem with his daughter Hailie Jade, Korn's Jonathan Davis, Pauly Shore, model Lily Aldridge and Tony Hawk's son Riley, while the band sometimes swaps instruments and sometimes doesn't bother playing at all. It premiered in February 2000 on USA Network's short-lived Farmclub.com, right next to Korn's "Make Me Bad".
