Whitney Curtis, Getty Images It’s arguably the most American day of the year (sorry, Fourth of July), as those with the rights given to them as American citizens are heading out to the polls today to cast their votes on both candidates and bills that will affect their immediate future. It’s one of the great things about being an American is having elections that give you the right to help determine what the future will hold. Whether it be current President Obama or his opposition, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney that you vote for, the key is the exercise of your right as an American citizen. A number of top rockers have weighed in via Twitter, attempting to get their fans out to the polls to vote. Some have remained bipartisan, while others are specifically attempting to sway their followers in a certain political direction.

No Comments »Limp Bizkit Subject of Twitter Rant by Former Member DJ Lethal
September 22nd, 2012 Metalkult Ryan Pierse, Getty Images They say time heals all wounds, but not enough time has passed for DJ Lethal to let his ousting from Limp Bizkit go. While tweeting back and forth with some of his followers, Lethal let loose with a number of barbs against his former mates. Theprp.com reports that the conversation started with the Lethal digging in on the news that his old band’s new single was going to be ‘ Pain .’ He stated, “Don’t get me started. ‘Pain’??? Really. Come on. LP is making better songs. R&Bizkit?!??!??? FaCEPALM.” He would add, “I like Linkin Park better than Limp Bizkit. Haaa. At least they still make music, not sell out. I used to rock!?!’ From there he added, “I used to do it for the nookie. I’m lucky I didn’t get an STD. But if I went the Paris/Kim way, you would know. Bad luck. Rockstar with a LIL PP.” In another tweet, he added, “Basically Fred [Durst] is 43 years old. How long can that dude do it for the NOOKIE? Don’t get me wrong there was a time when he wrote his own lyrics.” Lethal also cited his love for Korn and Deftones , and added, “Because the lead singer of those bands can SING. Lb now = gangban.” He would follow stating, “Honestly, Limp Bizkit stole they’re qhol # style from Deftones. Vocally!!!” When a Twitter follower attempted to back Limp Bizkit, Lethal added, “I hate a–holes that judge me for leaving a ‘band’ I was in for 15 years. Your like a f-n moose that got lucky!! F— Fred Durst. I was talented and was an artist own before u even knew who Fred was. If tout gonna be a #wigger, than do your homework. #houseofpain bitch!” He also defended his right to speak his mind, adding, “Don’t like it, f— off. U like Wes [Borland] new moustache? F— you! You think Fred is a better rapper than MGK? FU.” Before signing out, the DJ concluded, “Ok, yeah I’m drunk talking s—. No I know who my REAL friends are. If you’re not one of them, unfollow and f— off.” Editors Note: By Saturday morning, a majority of the tweets had been removed.
