Music
Limp Bizkit is an American rap rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. Their lineup consists of Fred
Durst (lead vocals), Sam Rivers (bass, backing vocals), John Otto (drums, percussion), DJ Lethal
(turntables), and Wes Borland (guitars, backing vocals). Their music is marked by Durst's angry vocal
delivery and Borland's sonic experimentation. Borland's elaborate visual appearance, which includes
face and body paint, masks and uniforms, also plays a large role in the band's elaborate live shows.
The band has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, have sold 40 million records worldwide and
won several other awards.[1 ]
Formed in 1 994,[2] Limp Bizkit became popular playing in the Jacksonville underground music scene in
the late 1 990s, and signed with Flip Records, a subsidiary of Interscope, which released their debut
album, Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$ (1 997). The band achieved mainstream success with their second and
third studio albums, Significant Other (1 999) and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water
(2000), although this success was marred by a series of controversies surrounding their performances
at Woodstock '99 and the 2001 Big Day Out festival.
Borland left the group in 2001 , but Durst, Rivers, Otto and Lethal continued to record and tour with
guitarist Mike Smith. Following the release of their album, Results May Vary (2003), Borland rejoined
the band and recorded The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1 ) (2005) with Durst, Rivers, Lethal and
drummer Sammy Siegler before entering a hiatus. In 2009, the band reunited with Borland playing
guitar and began touring, culminating with the recording of the album Gold Cobra (2011 ), after which
they left Interscope and later signed with Cash Money Records, but DJ Lethal was asked to leave the
band soon after. They are currently recording their sixth studio album, Stampede of the Disco
Elephants. [it continues, see the website]
