The band Limp Bizkit is made up of five guys. The guys are John Otto, Fred Durst, Sam Rivers, Wes Borland, and DJ Lethal. Limp Bizkit formed six years ago in Jacksonville, an assemblage of visionaries brought together by frontman Fred Durst, a former Navy plebe turned tattoo artist who’d been writing raps since he was 14. The collision of sensibilities between Durst, Otto, Borland, bassist Sam Rivers and House of Pain DJ Lethal formed a synthesis that was entirely of its time, a sonic barrage of crunchy power chords, phat grooves and psycho-delic loops that was without precedent- at least all under the same roof.
The 1997 debut Three Dollar Bill, Y’all ushered Limp Bizkit the platinum house, thanks to an irreverent hit remake of George Michael’s “Faith” and an attention-getting spot on the 1998 OZZFest bill, with its famous giant toilet stage prop. But Limp Bizkit really ascended to the throne with 1999’s Significant Other, a ranting, raging masterpiece that debuted at No. 1 on Billboard Top 200, selling 634,874 copies during its first week of release and went on to sell more than six million copies.
Limp Bizkit has recently released a new album called Chocolate St*rfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water. They recently also did a theme song for Misson Impossible 2. For more information goto The Official LIMP BIZKIT Webpage. Click on LB to see Limp Bizkit's video ROLLIN.
