In that same year, Durst became involved in feuds with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, with the band Slipknot, and with rapper Eminem, whose single â€œWithout Meâ€ described â€™N Sync member Chris Kirkpatrick as â€œworse than them little Limp Bizkit bastardsâ€. The issue was later addressed in the video for the single â€œRe-arrangedâ€, which features the band being judged and subsequently â€œexecutedâ€ for the Woodstock debacle.Ĭontroversy soon overshadowed their music. Some concertgoers claim Durst had incited the violence, although Durst stated that none of the comments he made that day were intended to cause violence. Tensions ran high and violence continued to occur, culminating in blazes and looting by the end of the show. There were also several rapes and sexual assaults during the groupâ€™s performance. During their performance, fans begin to tear plywood from the walls of the stage and from the â€œtowerâ€ used by media outlets to cover the concert. In the summer of 1999, Limp Bizkit played Woodstock â€˜99. The first single â€œNookie,â€ was a runaway hit. In 1999, Limp Bizkit released their second album, Significant Other. This has been highly criticised due to itâ€™s similarities with the illegal act of payola.

KUFO would be paid $5,000 if it played the new Limp Bizkit single â€œCounterfeitâ€ 50 times over the course of five weeks. Limp Bizkit also began offering radio stations such as Portlandâ€™s KUFO money to play their music repeatedly as an announced paid advertisement. Their break-out single was a cover of George Michaelâ€™s hit â€œFaithâ€. Due largely to their association with KoÐ¯n, they were able to promote their music with appearances on MTV, the Family Values Tour and Ozzfest, where Borlandâ€™s outlandish makeup and costumes made a memorable impression on fans. The album had a slow start, and it wasnâ€™t until Limp Bizkit made an association with the band Korn that they made major progress. Limp Bizkit then went on to discover another very highly followed band, Staind.ġ997 saw the release of their first full-length album Three Dollar Bill Yâ€™all. In 1996 they released a three song demo tape featuring the songs Pollution, Counterfeit, and Stuck which Fred Durst gave to Ross Robinson who was at the time working with KoÐ¯n. They were discovered by KoÐ¯nâ€™s bassist Reginald Arvizu in 1995, backstage at a Jacksonville KoÐ¯n concert. Soon after House of Pain broke up, DJ Lethal joined the band. About this time, they became friends with rap musicâ€™s House of Pain, which included DJ Lethal. The band was formed in 1994 by Durst, Rivers, Rob Waters (the 1st guitar player of the band) and Otto, touring in and around their hometown of Jacksonville. They were named because a roadie once said â€œIâ€™m so high, I feel that my brain is a limp biscuitâ€. In February 2009, Durst and Borland announced the return of Limp Bizkitâ€™s original line-up, bringing with it the possibility of a new album and tour.Ĭontrary to popular belief, Limp Bizkit was not named for the fraternity game â€œlimp biscuitâ€. Following the release of The Unquestionable Truth EP in 2005, he parted with the band once more. However, in August 2004, Borland returned to Limp Bizkit.

Wes Borland was with them for their first three albums but left in 2001, to be replaced by Mike Smith (formerly of the band Snot). Limp Bizkit consists of vocalist Fred Durst, guitarist Wes Borland, bassist Sam Rivers, drummer John Otto (Riversâ€™ cousin), and turntablist / samples player DJ Lethal. Their albums have sold over 35 million copies worldwide (info from wikipedia). The band is currently signed to Interscope and was previously signed to Geffen Records both labels are part of the Universal Music Group.
