Limp Bizkit bassist Sam Rivers sadly died over the weekend, aged just 48. Members of the group and many in the rock world have paid tribute to the founding member of the nu-metal outfit. But now respect has been paid by a modern bass icon you wouldn’t necessarily assume would be down with Fred Durst’s crew: Thundercat.
In a lengthy interview with Rolling Stone, the musician, born Stephen Bruner has been talking about what Limp Bizkit’s music meant to him and how Rivers’ playing influenced him personally.
