Limp Bizkit

Limp Bizkit is an American nu metal/rap rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. The group was formed in 1994 and originally consisted of lead vocalist Fred Durst, bassist Sam Rivers, drummer John Otto (Rivers' cousin), and guitarist Wes Borland. 

​

Limp Bizkit quickly rose to fame with their breakthrough album, "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$" in 1997. The band's energetic performances and Durst's confrontational persona contributed to their meteoric rise. The band's subsequent albums, "Significant Other" and "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water", solidified their status in the rock music scene. Their hits "Nookie", "Break Stuff", and "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" became anthems of their generation. 

​

Despite multiple line-up changes, the band has remained active, releasing six studio albums to date. Wes Borland, known for his theatrical stage presence and makeup, left the band in 2001 but returned in 2004, left again in 2006, and returned in 2011. 

​

Limp Bizkit, known for merging genres, has faced criticism and controversy but remains a prominent figure in the nu metal scene. Their aggressive lyrical content and their fusion of hip-hop and heavy metal have influenced many bands that followed. Despite the ups and downs, Limp Bizkit has sold over 40 million records worldwide, marking their significant impact on the music industry.
