It was started by a \'Navy-plebe\' turned \'Tattoo Expert\' turned \'Rapper\' Fred Durst who asked his best and childhood friend Sam Rivers to play bass for his band. Sam bought in his cousin John otto to play drums for the band. They were then joined by DJ Lethal (Frontman of the band \'House Of Pain). The band searched long for a guitarist and found the best at that time Wes Borland. Now the band thought long for a name, then one day \'Fred was talking to Sam and said that his mind was like a \'limp biscuit\' Fred liked it and kept the name of the band as LIMP BIZKIT. Fred had made some tattoos on one of his friends named \"FIELDY\" (The current bassist of the band \'Korn\'). When Fieldy returned to jacksonville Fred gave Fieldy the demo tape of LIMP BIZKIT\'S music. Fieldy loved it so much that he gave it straight to his producer Ross Robinson. Ross heard it and went nuts so he put Limp Bizkit on tour with bands like Korn and The Deftones. In 1997 Limp Bizkit released their first full length album titled \"THREE DOLLAR BILL, Y\'ALL DOLLAR\". This album made Limp Bizkit very popular. Three singles from this album were \'Faith\', \'Sour\', \'Counterfeit\'. Out of these \'Faith\' is still a very popular song till today.
