Biography

LIMP BIZKIT a band that has always impressed people with it's kind of music, consists of Fred Durst (Vocals, Guitar) Wes Borland (Guitar) Sam Rivers (Bass) John Otto (Drums) DJ Lethal (The Icing). LIMP BIZKIT started in Jacksonville, Florida in 1994. It is turned out to be a very successful band. 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. This album sold 1 million copies in a month and is regarded as the best CD by Limp Bizkit. Then in 1999 Limp Bizkit released their second album titled \"SIGNIFICANT OTHER\". This CD sold 7.5 million copies in the U.S alone. Four singles from this album were \'Nookie\', \'Break-stuff\', \'Re-arranged\', and \'N 2 Gether Now\'. This CD went multi-platinum. The Videos of the song \'Nookie\' and \'Break-Stuff\' were nominated at the MTV Music awards. The band also recieved the award for the best video for \'Break-stuff\' and also recieved the award for the best band for this album. Then in 2000 the band released it\'s third album titled \"CHOCOLATE STARFISH AND THE HOT DOG FLAVORED WATER\". Five singles from this album were \'Boiler\', \'Rollin\', \'My Generation\', \'My Way\' and \'Take A Look Around\'. The videos of the song \'Rollin\' and \'Take A Look Around\' were nominated at the MTV Music Awards where the band won the award for the best video and the best song \'Take a Look Around\'. This album also went mult-platinum as it sold 1 million copies in it\'s first week and is regarded as the second best CD by Limp Bizkit. The Following year i.e. 2001 the band released \"NEW OLD SONGS\" this was a remix collection of the hit songs by Limp Bizkit and was selling fast because people wanted to listen to the remixes of \'Nookie\' and \'My Way\'. Then came a time the band went through a lot of pain because the guitarist WES BORLAND left the band for a solo career. The band was about to release it\'s next album titled \"Lessismore\" but couldn\'t release it becuse the guitarist Wes Borland had left the band and so the album got shelved. The band searched long for a guitarist, then the frontman of the band Fred Durst bought in \'MIKE SMITH\' (ex-guitarist of the band \'Snot\'). Mike Smith had got a chance to perform live at Safcofields in seatle for the WWE WRESTLEMANIA 19. Then the same year i.e. 2003 the band released it\'s fourth album titled \"Results May Vary\". Four singles from this album were \'Eat You Alive\', \'Build A Bridge\', \'Red Light- Green Light\' and \'Behind Blue Eyes\'. The videos of the song \'Eat You Alive\' featured Fred Durst\'s real life crush \'Thora Birch\' and the video of the song \'Behind Blue Eyes\' featured \'Halle Berry\' in it. This CD is regarded as the third best CD by Limp Bizkit as it sold 3,50,000 copies in it\'s first week. Then recently the guitarist Wes Borland rejoined the band. Now the band is working on it\'s next album titled \"BIPOLAR\" which features the theme song of the WWE WRESTLEMANIA 19 i.e \'Crack Addict\'. After the success of his band, FRED DURST has also made the careers of bands like \'Stained\', \'Puddle Of Mudd\', \'Cold\' and the latest \'Revolution Smile\'. Fred Durst is also the vice-president of Interscope records.

I really like that song "nookie." I did it all for the nookie (come on) the nookie (come on) that shit was fuckin' raw, yo! Ataraxia Ever, you'll pay for this!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS WITH YOUR BLOOD!!! I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL, YOU DAMN FIEND!!!! WHO BROUGHT ME HERE, DISHEVELED, DEPRIVED, AND WROUGHT WITH FEAR! WHO TURNED ME OFF? THE LAST THING I REMEMBER NOW, WHO BROUGHT ME HERE?!?!?!	applekiddy

Fuck Yeah	metal_head4ever
Yeah.	BLASTT
My God I can't believe there are this many current LB fans...they're dead, they're 15mins of fame is over...Nookie was beginning of the end. Chocolate Starfish I would rate as one of the wrorst CD's I've ever bought(and I've bought some shitty CD's in my life time) Grifter cringes as he thinks back to grade 6 and buying Ace of Base, then he jumps forward 3 years and cringes again for buying Hootie and the Blowfish...but yeah...Limp Bizkit's sound was cool and original for two albums...man I wish someone would just kick the shit out of Fred Durst. All he does is whine, someone should really give him something to whine about...Im done whining about this band, enjoy your Limp Dick Grifter shakes his head and pukes on his keyboard* I'm disgusted	Grifter420
very well put!!!!!!!!!!!	metalHEAD365
Who the fuck cares if Fred and Limp Bizkit wanted to go mainstream, make money, or do a duet with Christina Aguilera, they make good music, that's all that matters! Quit being such DRAMA QUEENS and judge an artist on his/her/their music and not their personal lives. >:)	AzN_HiPhOp_bOi
