When we think of romantic tunes, aren't exactly a band that gets most people in the mood to whisper sweet nothings, light a few candles or make life-changing declarations of love. However, us metalheads do things a little differently, evidenced by one couple at this year who got engaged to be married during the nu metal kings' set as they performed their classic 2000 mosh-opener, In now-viral TikTok footage, user can be seen getting down on one knee - yes, in the absolute mud pit that was the hallowed grounds of this year's storm-ravaged Donington Park - as he makes an emotional proposal to his partner, While the tear-jerking scene unfolds, in the background, punters watch on elated - and a little amused - as Bizkit frontman Fred Durst spits out violent lyrics around them, demanding to be given something to break and threatening to skin asses. A romantic soundtrack indeed.
At this time of writing, the video has amassed over 100k views, and the comment section is unsurprisingly full of well-wishes for the happy couple, with one user writing: "Proposing at Download? In the mud? Whilst Limp Bizkit is playing? Now THIS is romance! Congratulations both! 🖤". Mitch responds: "And who said it was dead?! It’s just hiding in a field covered in mud 😂 thank you!!". Another comment reads: "The weather did not help ðŸ˜, but kneeling in the mud shows real dedication, congrats".
Whatever the weather, romance stops for no one, and nor does metal. We're also thinking this pair's weddi.
