it's pretty damn interesting to know that, when asked by the press, jennifer rivero doesn't deny the fact that she's not my son's mother.

i tell you people what, you wouldn't believe the kind of crazy shit i've experienced in this fame and rock&roll journey i've been on. some crazy shit.

i have to stick up for my son dallas for this matter. it's just not right.

well well what do we have here? your answer would be just stupid ass rumors and false information all over the place, tabloids, television shows, etc. i can deal with all the ridiculous things i hear and shrug them off, but i won't deal with the world thinking that my son's mother's name is JENNIFER RIVERO any longer!! my son's mother's name is JENNIFER THAYER!! it's been wrong everywhere. just goes to show you that the motherfucker's feeding you this shit are too dumb to do research and give you at least one easy piece of accurate information. all the rest of the "he say's, she say's" shit is something i can look over, but please get the kid's mother's name right. that's just the way it should be.

Ok here we go..

Doh main
17 year old Canadian Mike Rowe has refused a request by Microsoft to hand
over his domain name. Mike who added soft the end of his name demanded
monetary settlement from the software giants who offered him $10, careful
guys you didn't become one of the worlds biggest companies throwing your
money around like that.

Silence is the next big sound.
BBC radio recently broadcasted a live performance of an orchestra playing 4
and half minutes of total silence titled 4"33", they also gave TV viewers
the chance to watch the orchestra performing John Cages 1953 work. We are
considering submitting a request for them to follow this groundbreaking
event by inviting more well known "popular" artists to submit similar
performances. Watch out Mtv unplugged BBC fuck all is bound to catch on.

Food for thought.
Fast food giant Burger King have recently added burgers without the buns to
there menu in an effort to entice customers concerned with hi carb levels,
the bun free burgers are retailed at the same price as its bread loving
counterpart. What's next fries not made from potatoes maybe?

PK
Hey what's up guys?

Miltontx4
PETER: I am currently a junior at Texas A&M university and I was wondering what it is that labels, such as Flip/Interscope, look for in an intern and do bands have tour Chaplins?

PK
Miltontx4, I think professional companies like ours or big labels, like interscope, look for people who show initiative more than anything although we all like people who are courteous too. For me, I'm attracted to interns who really show they love music.

JDub
Pete is there a support act for the Europe tour yet?

PK
J Dub, no supporting act for Europe tour has been confirmed yet.

Bitchen_mama
Hey Peter I got a question. Why does limpbizkit not come to Alaska?

PK
We've never had the right offer to come to Alaska, but we plan on looking into it next time we head to Japan.

MCDD Boarder
Hey Peter....whats the chances of a band including people of the ages 14,16,13,15 and 19 hitting it big....If they are kick ass? Kids that can really play. What kind of effect would that have? Even if we are awsome?

PK
MCDD Boarder, it would be great, especially if they could really play.

Swissvalues
Peter are you looking for talent to manage yourself?

PK
Swiss, I'm always looking

Evertonfc75
Hey Peter, I was just wondering if there is gonna be another UK date added to the tour in March somewhere up north in Manchester or something. London is a bit far to travel for us northern Bizkit fans and we never got the free gig at Finsbury for the same reason, even if we did get a kickass gig last September. So is there any plans for more dates to be added?

PK
Evertonfc75, it's not out of the question that one more show might be added. However, if we don't, look for us to come back at the end of August.

J Dub
Peter a lot of support for Denied, a known band has been shown for Limps support for Europe, when would this support have to be forwarded by?

PK
J Dub, send it asap

RyanD
Peter, This past September I seen you in the pit at Manchester, Do you make a habit of going out there and watching the band playing or was it a once off?

PK
Ryan, I really like to get a first hand feel for what the kids think of the show. I generally watch from the soundboard because I'm also trying to get a feel for how the lighting guy is doing with his presentation and how the show appears to the biggest part of the audience... a rocknroll show takes a lot to put together. At the beginning of the tour, I'm likely to spend 4-5 shows watching from the soundboard, till the show is down pat.

Skitzo210
Peter I know an unsigned rap act in San Antonio. Where do I send the Album?

PK
Skitzo210, send it C/O me, here at The Firm, 9465 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, ca 90212... or send to Flawless as well.

Miltontx4
Peter: Is there such a thing as a tour Chaplin? I heard of Eminem having one and I was wondering if bands had those and how does one get a job like that?

PK
Miltontx4, all kinds of acts may have special personnel on the road like that, but its certainly not common... some people bring their chef, some their trainer, some their dog trainer.

Possessed-Rabbit
Peter, for years Limp Bizkit have been advertising the Poop DVD...Is there any official word on the release?

PK
Possessed -Rabbit, the DVD will definitely be out in 2004...we finally have an edit that Fred and the guys like. They really didn't want to release something that was a linear history of limpbizkit...this thing jumps around all over the place. Its lots of fun to watch... we are collecting extras for the DVD---got any interesting Limp memorabilia????

Durstrocks
Is there going to be a US tour for results may vary??

PK
Durstrocks, yes.... we are working on several different ideas for the summer.

Delboyakalazlow
Pete are Limpbizkit coming to Scotland this year?

PK
Delboy, We'll try to come to Scotland on the late summer run.

Depressedsoul01
Peter I've heard that the Brixton show might be on TV is that true???

PK
Depressed, no plans yet

Earpoo
Peter, Any idea what the next single will be? If not any idea when we'll find out?

PK
Earpoo, that decision is imminent, but no definite...what do you guys like???

JDub
Peter was everyone happy how the Finsbury London show looked on MTV as it was good but much better in the mosh?

PK
J Dub, because Fred is a director himself, and a perfectionist, I know he would have rather directed it himself-added tons more cameras, gave u guys some viewpoints, impossible to imagine, but the fact that we were able to pull off a free show for 35k people w/ all those other bands and have it paid for was hard enough. I think LB and I were extremely happy that we were able to come back and play the free show (especially having had to cancel download festival).. The UK crowd was great so it was totally cool.

Delboyakalazlow
Pete I was next to you at Manchester watching Limp but I was too scared to talk. Do you often talk with fans when you are standing?

PK
Delboy, definitely would like to think that I am pretty approachable...next time you see me, make sure you stop-unless Im in the middle of something serious I'd be glad to talk to anyone...we didn't get this far by getting opinions from industry assholes. Only fans matter.

Fieldy3000
Peter any chance that Limp is going to perform in Israel EVER???

PK
Fieldy3000, Limp is headed to Dubai on April 9 for a fest in the desert. We would love to come to Israel at some point...hopefully one of the promoters there will make an effort to bring us out.

Bitchen_mama
How does someone go about getting a job like yours?

PK
Bitchen_mama, there are many ways to get here. One of the best ways is look to intern for someone like me. U can also look for opportunities to start as somebody's assistant. I myself started as an agent in Chicago for small acts and Blues acts like Buddy Guy. I met the guys in Ministry in Chicago and hooked up with them...that's where I got the bug. I've worked as an agent,promoter,for a label,etc but nothing beats management...getting to work closer to the artist is very rewarding.

Hybridfact
Whatever happened to limpbizkits lawsuits? Were they dropped?

PK
Hybridfact, was their one in particular the you were referring to? It seems like when youre in a big band, youre a target, most of them go away.

Miltontx4
Last question Peter: I still have a number that Fred gave to fans on the other website asking us to call about the current albums first single, would it be too much of and inconvenience for me to call sometime when you arent busy and ask a few questions about getting started on the business side of the industry? I know you are busy so if not I wont bother you. Maybe I could just send you a resume.

PK
Milton, you can definitley send a resume, Im usually busy on the phone because thats how managers conduct their business.

Swissvalues
Peter how do I get a sit-down meeting with you and Fred knows me, I have been signed before so could we do a sit down meeting?

PK
Swiss, meetings come after music is heard I mean to say I work my ass off for my bands and dont get a chance to just take a lot of meetings. If I hear something I like, Ill meet as many times as you want.

RyanD
Peter how is it managing limpbizkit? Is it hard trying to separate yourself from being friends with the members and be strictly a manager or is it easy? Or do you find being close with them as a helping hand in managing them?

PK
Ryan, managing lb has definitely been one of the most incredible experiences in my life, some really intense moments (like right before Fred stepped on the wooden plank at Woodstock etc) biz and friendships are two different things, but weve grown together and the friendships with all the band members are the closets I have.

Depressedsoul01
Peter if we send a demo can we be sure you will listen to it and then we will get a reply if you like or not?

PK
Depressed, you can definitely be sure I can listen to it, I dont always have time to reply, If I listen to it and like it but not LOVE it, its likely Ill respond with some comments or encouragement.

bizzie@herdesk
Pete are limp heading to Australia at all? Be it on their own or on this rumoured KISS tour? They have a lot of fans in Australia waiting to see them again.

PK
Bizzie, weve been discussing arrangements to come down with KISS in April. We will definitley headline Australia at some point, everyone seems to be digging the record.

Evertonfc75
Peter whats your favourite bizkit song?

PK
Everton, itll be ok and Hold on are two of my favourites, as are early stuff like Stuck and new stuff like Almost over, Down another day.

RyanD
Peter how do you find it when people try and abuse the band by mouth. Have you ever taken it personally or do you just take it on the chin? I imagine it must be pretty hard with them being friends of yours and yourself being somewhat a member of the band.

PK
Ryan, itd be nice if people would just listen to the music and watch the reaction of the fans at shows and report that reality to the world, because if it was like that no one would be a hate, but unfortunately opinions are like assholes everyones got one.
I dont take it personally.
