"Eat You Alive" was pulled from Results May Vary, Limp Bizkit's fourth album, as a single in September 2003, and it opened a chapter nobody had asked for: the band's first single without Wes Borland, who had walked out in 2001. Fred Durst, John Otto, Sam Rivers and Mike Smith wrote it, Terry Date recorded it and Brendan O'Brien mixed it, and the nu metal machinery grinds on regardless.
Durst shot the video himself, with Thora Birch and Bill Paxton along for the ride. The reviews were brutal: AllMusic gave it one star out of five, and a Spin readers' poll in 2004 named it the worst song, in a three-way tie with Trapt's "Headstrong" and Britney Spears' "Me Against the Music". It still climbed to 16 on Billboard's mainstream rock chart and has kept turning up on the band's compilations since.
