The Band Achieved Mainstream Success With Its Second And Third Studio Albums Significant Other 1999 And Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water 2000 Although This Success Was Marred By A Series Of Controversies Surrounding Its 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 Its 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 It Left Interscope And Later Signed With Cash Money Records DJ Lethal Quit The Band Soon Afterward Returning In 2018. After Years Of Teasing An Album Tentatively Titled Stampede Of The Disco Elephants 4 The Band Released Its Sixth Studio Album Still Sucks On October 31 2021. 5 History Formation And Early Years 1994–1996 John Otto Studied Jazz Drumming And Played In Local Avant Garde Bands Before Joining Limp Bizkit. While Growing Up In Gastonia North Carolina Fred Durst Took An Interest In Breakdancing Hip Hop Punk Rock And Heavy Metal. He Began To Rap Skate Beatbox And DJ. While Mowing Lawns And Working As A Tattoo Artist He Developed An Idea For A Band That Combined Elements Of Rock And Hip Hop. 6 Durst Played With Three Other Bands Split 26 Malachi Sage Both Of Which Were Unsuccessful And 10 Foot Shindig Which Durst Left To Form A New Band. 7 Durst Told Sam Rivers The Bassist For Malachi Sage "You Need To Quit This Band And Start A Band With Me That's Like This Rappin' And Rockin'." 7 Rivers Suggested That His Cousin John Otto Who Was Studying Jazz Drumming At The Douglas Anderson School Of The Arts And Playing In Local Avant Garde Bands Become The Band's Drummer. 7 Durst Rivers And Otto Jammed And Wrote Three Songs Together And After Brief Stints With Guitarists Rob Waters And Terry Balsamo Wes Borland Joined As Their Permanent Guitarist. 7 Durst Named The Band Limp Bizkit Because He Wanted A Name That Would Repel Listeners. According To Durst "The Name Is There To Turn People's Heads Away. A Lot Of People Pick Up The Disc And Go 'Limp Bizkit. Oh They Must Suck.' Those Are The People That We Don't Even Want Listening To Our Music." 7 Fred Said That The Band Liked Corky And Corny Things And That They Didn't Take Themselves Seriously All The Time And Thus The Name "Limp Bizkit" Represented These Characteristics And The Band As A Whole. 8 Other Names That Were Considered By Durst Included Gimp Disco Split Dickslit Bitch Piglet And Blood Fart. 9 Every Record Label That Showed An Interest In The Band Pressured Its Members To Change Its Name. 7 Limp Bizkit Developed A Cult Following In The Underground Music Scene Particularly At The Milk Bar An Underground Punk Club In Jacksonville. The Band's Local Popularity Was Such That Sugar Ray Who Had A Major Label Contract Opened For A Then-Unsigned Limp Bizkit At Velocity With Hip Hop Group Funkdoobiest. 7 Milkbar Owner Danny Wimmer Stated That Limp Bizkit "had The Biggest Draw For A Local Band. They Went From Playing For Ten People To Eight Hundred Within Months. Fred ... Was Always Marketing The Band. He Would Go To Record Stores And Get People Involved He Was In Touch With High Schools." 7 However The Band Knew That To Achieve National Success It Would Have To Distinguish Themselves In Its Live Performances. 7 Attracting Crowds By Word Of Mouth The Band Gave Energetic Live Performances Covering George Michael's "Faith" And Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" And Featuring Borland In Bizarre Costumes. 7 Borland's Theatrical Rock Style Was The Primary Attraction For Many Concert Attendees. 7 Durst Unsuccessfully Tried To Attract Attention From A&R Representatives At Various Labels By Pretending To Be The Band's Manager. 7 Later When Korn Performed In Town As The Opening Act For Sick Of It All Durst Invited Korn To Drink Beer And Tattoo Them. Although Durst's Tattoos Were Unimpressive He Was Able To Persuade Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu To Listen To A Demo Consisting Of The Songs "Pollution" "Counterfeit" And "Stalemate". Korn Added A Then-Unsigned Limp Bizkit To Two Tours Which Exposed The Band To A New Audience. 7 10 The Band Attempted To Expand Its Sound By Auditioning An Additional Guitarist But Borland Soon Determined That Another Guitarist Was Not The Answer And DJ Lethal Formerly Of The Hip Hop Group House Of Pain Joined The Band As A Turntablist After A Successful Practice Performance. 11 Joining The Band Gave Lethal An Opportunity To Experiment With His Turntable Technique In Ways That Hip Hop Had Not Allowed Him To Do Helping Shape The Band's Style. Due To Creative Differences Borland Left The Band At This Point. 7 Record Label Deals And Three Dollar Bill Yall 1997–1998 Following The Release Of Three Dollar Bill Yall Vocalist Fred Durst Was Appointed Senior Vice President Of A&R At Interscope After Its Performance Opening For Korn At The Dragonfly In Hollywood Was Well Received Limp Bizkit Were Offered A Record Deal With The Los Angeles-Based Independent Label Flip Records Who Attempted To Sign The Band For $50 000. 12 Soon After That However They Were Also Offered A Record Deal With The Major Label Mojo A Subsidiary Of MCA Records. According To Flip Records' Founder Jordan Schur Limp Bizkit Stated That The Only Way The Band Wouldn't Sign With Mojo Was If The Band's Van Flipped Over On The Way To Los Angeles. 13 While Heading To California To Record Its First Album The Band's Van Flipped Over Five Times Resulting In All Of The Band's Members Sustaining Serious Injuries. As A Result Of The Near-Death Experience Durst Made Amends With Borland Who Rejoined The Band. 7 12 The Accident Also Strained The Band's Relationship With Mojo Who Durst Felt Wanted The Band To Resume Working Prematurely Resulting In Schur Buying Out The Band's Record And Management Contract And Signing The Band To Flip Which Cost Him $175 000. 11 12 Arvizu Persuaded Ross Robinson To Listen To The Demo. Robinson Neglected To Listen To It Until It Was Appraised By His Girlfriend. Impressed By The Band's Motivation And Sound Robinson Produced Limp Bizkit's Debut Which Was Recorded At Indigo Ranch. Durst's Problems With His Girlfriend Inspired Him To Write The Song "Sour". 7 The Mood And Tone Set By Robinson In The Studio Allowed The Band To Improvise A Recording Of The Band Improvising Appeared As The Last Track On The Album "Everything". 7 Schur Bankrolled The Recording Sessions For The Album And Following Its Completion Negotiated A 50/50 Agreement With Interscope Records To Distribute The Album. 13 Despite The Success Of Live Performances Of The Band's Cover Of The Song "Faith" Robinson Was Opposed To Recording It And Tried To Persuade The Band Not To Play It On The Album. However The Final Recording Which Incorporated Heavier Guitar Playing And Drumming As Well As DJ Scratching Impressed Him. 7 Robinson Also Bonded With Borland Who He Perceived As Not Taking The Band Seriously. 7 The Progressive Metal Band Tool Provided A Strong Influence In Shaping The Album's Sound Particularly In The Song "Nobody Loves Me" Which Contains A Breakdown In Which Durst Imitated The Singing Style Of Maynard James Keenan. 7 Continuing The Band's Policy Of Using Names That Would Repulse Potential Listeners Limp Bizkit Named The Album By Using Part Of The Phrase "queer As A Three Dollar Bill" And Adding The Word "Y'all" For Florida Flavor Titling It Three Dollar Bill Y'all. 7 The Completed Album Featured An Abrasive Angry Sound Which Limp Bizkit Used To Attract Listeners To Its Music. 7 After The Band Completed Recording It Toured With Korn And Helmet In 1997. Critics Reacted Unfavorably To Performances Of Korn And Limp Bizkit Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Music Critic Jon M. Gilbertson Criticized Durst's Performance Stating "The One Attention-Grabbing Moment Of Limp Bizkit's Rap/thrash Show Was When The Lead Singer Expressed A Desire For Gay Men To Be 'stomped'. Which Isn't Remotely Rebellious. It's Just Puerile." 7 That Same Year They Also Notably Served As An Opening Act On The Album Of The Year Tour For Faith No More A Band Often Credited As Paving The Way For Limp Bizkit And The Nu Metal Genre. 14 They Were Subject To A Hostile Reception From Faith No More's Fans 15 With The Group's Keyboardist Roddy Bottum Later Recalling "That Guy Fred Durst Had A Really Bad Attitude. He Was Kind Of A Jerk. I Remembered He Called The Audience Faggots At One Show When They Booed Him. Not A Good Scene." 16 Interscope Proposed To The Band That The Label Pay $5 000 To Guarantee That A Portland Oregon Radio Station Play The Song "Counterfeit" Fifty Times Preceded And Concluded With An Announcement That The Air Time Was Paid For By Interscope. 17 18 The Paid Air Time Was Criticized By The Media Who Saw It As "payola". 17 18 The Band's Manager Jeff Kwatinetz Later Termed The Plan As A "brilliant Marketing Move". 17 Durst Stated "It Worked But It's Not That Cool Of A Thing." 17 Following The Release Of "Counterfeit" As A Single Three Dollar Bill Yall Was Released On July 1 1997 And Was Met With Minimal Response. 11 AllMusic Writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine Wrote "They Might Not Have Many Original Ideas ... But They Do The Sound Well. They Have A Powerful Rhythm Section And Memorable Hooks Most Of Which Make Up For The Uneven Songwriting." 19 However Robert Christgau Panned The Album. 20 Despite The Minimal Response To His Band's Album Durst Was Appointed Senior Vice President Of A&R At Interscope. 21 Limp Bizkit Joined The Warped Tour Performing Alongside The Bands Pennywise Mighty Mighty Bosstones Sick Of It All Lagwagon And Blink-182. 17 Preceding The Band's First Tour With DJ Lethal Otto Became Familiar With Lethal's Contributions To Collaborate With Him Better On Stage. 17 In Addition To Touring With Primus And Deftones Limp Bizkit Headlined The Ladies Night In Cambodia Club Tour Which Was Intended To Diversify The Band's Largely Male Fanbase By Offering Free Tickets To Female Attendees. This Plan Successfully Increased The Band's Female Fanbase. 17 In 1998 Limp Bizkit Toured With Soulfly And Cold On Soulfly's First European Tour. 17 Touring Consistently Increased Limp Bizkit's Success And The Second Single From Three Dollar Bill Y'all A Cover Of George Michael's "Faith" Became A Successful Radio Hit Leading To A Slot On Ozzfest A Tour Organized By Ozzy And Sharon Osbourne. 17 In July Snot Singer Lynn Strait Was Arrested After He Emerged Nude From Limp Bizkit's Prop Toilet And Was Charged With Indecent Exposure. 17 22 Because Limp Bizkit's Fans Would Often Break Through The Barricades The Band Was Almost Kicked Off The Tour After Two Days. 17 In August John Otto Spent The Night In Jail In Auburn Hills Michigan On A Misdemeanor Charge Of Carrying A Concealed Weapon After Allegedly Firing A BB Gun And Being Arrested For Carrying A Switchblade. 17 After Completing Ozzfest Limp Bizkit Took A Break From Performing And Later Performed On Korn's Family Values Tour. Durst Also Directed A Music Video For The Band's Single "Faith" In Promotion For Its Appearance In The Film Very Bad Things But Was Unsatisfied With It And Directed A Second Video Which Paid Tribute To Tourmates Like Primus Deftones And Korn Who Appeared In The Video. 17 Borland Stated In An Interview That George Michael The Song's Writer Hated The Cover And "hates Us For Doing It". 17 Significant Other 1999–2000 Beginning With Significant Other 1999 DJ Lethal Expanded His Role As Sound Designer For The Band. Following The Radio Success Of "Faith" The Band Was Determined To Record The Follow-Up To Its First Album In Order To Show That They Were Not A Korn Soundalike Or A Cover Band The Band Began Writing An Album Which Dealt With Issues Deriving From Its Newfound Fame. 23 Terry Date Who Had Produced Albums For Pantera White Zombie And Deftones Was Chosen To Produce The Album. 24 The Band Allowed Durst And Lethal To Explore Their Hip Hop Origins By Recording A Song With Method Man. The Song Was Originally Titled "Shut The Fuck Up" But Was Retitled "N 2 Gether Now" For Marketing Purposes. 24 Durst Also Recorded With Eminem But The Collaboration "Turn Me Loose" Was Left Off The Album. 24 The Album Also Featured Guest Appearances By Stone Temple Pilots Singer Scott Weiland Korn's Jonathan Davis Staind Singer Aaron Lewis And Interludes By Les Claypool And Matt Pinfield. 24 Significant Other Saw Limp Bizkit Reaching A New Level Of Commercial Success The Band Was Featured On The Covers Of Popular Music Magazines Including Spin And Now Found Themselves Repeatedly Mobbed For Autographs The Band Was Allowed To Interact Directly With Its Fans On A Website Established By Dike 99. 25 Durst Also Moved From Jacksonville To Los Angeles. Significant Other Was Seen As An Improvement Over Its Debut And Was Generally Well Received By Critics With Mixed-To-Positive Reviews. However The Band Also Continued To Be Criticized By The Media An Article Profiling The Band In Spin And Discussing Significant Other Claimed That "Limp Bizkit Had Yet To Write A Good Song" And Musicians Marilyn Manson And Trent Reznor Criticized The Band. 25 The Band Promoted The Album By Playing Unannounced Concerts In Detroit And Chicago As Radio Stations Received A Strong Number Of Requests For The Album's First Single "Nookie". 21 Significant Other Climbed To No. 1 On The Billboard 200 Selling 643 874 Copies In Its First Week Of Release. 21 In Its Second Week Of Release The Album Sold An Additional 335 000 Copies. 21 On The Opening Night Of The Band's Limptropolis Tour With Kid Rock Sam Rivers Smashed His Bass In Frustration Over The Venue's Poor Sound Cutting His Hand. After His Hand Was Stitched Up At A Hospital Rivers Returned To Finish The Set. 21 On July 12 Durst Allegedly Kicked A Security Guard In The Head During A Performance In St. Paul Minnesota And Was Later Arrested On Assault Charges. 21 Further Criticisms Of The Band Appeared In Rolling Stone And The New York Times. 21 New York Times Writer Ann Powers Wrote "DJ Lethal Used His Turntables As A Metal Guitar Riffing Expansively And Going For Effects Instead Of Rhythm. John Otto On Drums And Sam Rivers On Bass Never Even Tried To Get Funky Instead Steering Hip-Hop's Break-Beat-Based Structure Into A Backbone For Power Chords. This Makes For A Hybrid That Would Be More Interesting If The Band Did Not Constantly Mire Itself In Boring Tempos And If Mr. Durst Had Any Talent As A Singer". 21 In The Summer Of 1999 Limp Bizkit Played At The Highly Anticipated Woodstock '99 Show In Front Of Approximately 200 000 People. Violent Action Sprang Up During And After The Band's Performance Including Fans Tearing Plywood From The Walls During A Performance Of The Song "Break Stuff". Several Sexual Assaults Were Also Reported In The Concert's Aftermath . 10 21 26 Durst Stated During The Concert "People Are Getting Hurt. Don't Let Anybody Get Hurt. But I Don't Think You Should Mellow Out. That's What Alanis Morissette Had You Motherfuckers Do. If Someone Falls Pick 'em Up. We Already Let The Negative Energy Out. Now We Wanna Let Out The Positive Energy". 21 Durst Later Stated In An Interview "I Didn't See Anybody Getting Hurt. You Don't See That. When You're Looking Out On A Sea Of People And The Stage Is Twenty Feet In The Air And You're Performing And You're Feeling Your Music How Do They Expect Us To See Something Bad Going On?" 21 Les Claypool Told The San Francisco Examiner "Woodstock Was Just Durst Being Durst. His Attitude Is 'no Press Is Bad Press' So He Brings It On Himself. He Wallows In It. Still He's A Great Guy." 21 Jonathan Davis Of Korn Also Defended The Band "I Think Bizkit Is Being Blamed For It Because They Were The Heavy Band … I Don't Think It Was Their Fuckin' Fault". 27 "It's Easy To Point The Finger And Blame Us But They Hired Us For What We Do — And All We Did Is What We Do. I Would Turn The Finger And Point It Back To The People That Hired Us " Said Durst In Reference To Original Woodstock Co-Founder Michael Lang. 27 Durst Saw The Band As Being Scapegoated For The Event's Controversy And Reflected On The Criticisms Surrounding The Band In His Music Video For The Single "Re-Arranged" Which Depicted The Band Members Receiving Death Sentences For Their Participation In The Concerts. The Video Ended With Angry Witnesses Watching As The Band Drowned In Milk While Performing The Song. 21 Durst Later Stated That The Promoters Of Woodstock '99 Were At Fault For Booking His Band Due To Their Reputation For Raucous Performances. 21 Despite This Controversy Significant Other Remained At No. 1 On The Billboard Charts And The Band Headlined The Year's Family Values Tour. 21 Durst Directed A Music Video For "N 2 Gether Now" Which Featured Method Man And Pauly Shore And Was Inspired By Inspector Clouseau's Fights With His Butler Cato Fong In The Pink Panther Film Series. 21 Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water 2000–2001 In 2000 Durst Announced That The Band's Third Studio Album Would Be Titled Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water. The Press Thought He Was Joking About This Title. 28 The Album Title Is Intended To Sound Like A Fictional Band The Phrase "Chocolate Starfish" Refers To The Human Anus And Durst Himself Who Has Frequently Been Called An "asshole". 28 Borland Contributed The Other Half Of The Album's Title When The Band Was Standing Around At A Truck Stop Looking At Bottles Of Flavored Water And Borland Joked That The Truck Stop Didn't Have Hot Dog Or Meat-Flavored Water. 28 In June 2000 Limp Bizkit Performed At The WXRK Dysfunctional Family Picnic But Showed Up An Hour Late For Their Set. 29 An Interscope Spokesman Stated That There Was Confusion Over The Band's Set Time. 29 During The Band's Performance Durst Criticized Creed Singer Scott Stapp Calling Him "an Egomaniac". 29 Creed's Representatives Later Presented Durst With An Autographed Anger Management Manual. 29 In The Summer Limp Bizkit's Tour Was Sponsored By The Controversial File Sharing Service Napster Doing Free Shows With A Metal Cage As The Only Thing Separating Them From The Audience. 30 Durst Was An Outspoken Advocate Of File Sharing. 10 They Also Did A "Guerrilla Tour" Which Involved The Band Setting Up Illegal And Impromptu Public Gigs On Rooftops And Alleyways Some Being Shut Down By The Police. During The 2000 MTV Video Music Awards Durst Performed "Livin' It Up" A Song From The Upcoming Album As A Duet With Christina Aguilera. In Response To The Performance Filter Frontman Richard Patrick Was Quoted As Saying "Fred Getting Onstage With Christina Aguilera Embarrassed Us All." 31 In Response To The Negative Reactions To The Performance Durst Remarked "People Always Just Wanna Talk About Britney Or Christina. What's The Problem? Because They Make A Type Of Music We Aren't Allowed To Like? Or You Think They Are The Nemesis Of What Our Music Is About? Why Segregate? Why Be So Musically Fuckin' Racist? What Do You Mean I Can't Hang Out With These Types Of People? Clearly I Didn't Give A Fuck Which Fed A Lot Of It Too. I Mean Someone That's Not Going To Give In And Apologise... It's Gonna Make People Carry On Talking". 32 Durst Also Appeared In The Music Video For Eminem's Song "The Real Slim Shady" A Song In Which Eminem Suggests That Christina Aguilera And Durst Had A Sexual Relationship. Durst Denied The Rumors And Defended Aguilera Saying "For One Thing It's Not True So It Doesn't Bother Me. Eminem Is Sort Of Answering The Critics. He's Going To The Extreme With Everything He Can To Now Slap Them In The Face.... It's So Over-The-Top. For One Thing Christina's Amazing. I Really Like That Girl. I Think She's An Amazing Singer. She's Gonna Have Longevity. She's Going To Be One Of Those Amazing Icon Women. I'm Really Attracted To Her I Like Her And I've Talked To Her A Couple Of Times And That's That. I Haven't Had Any Type Of Relationship With Her Or Any Type Of Intercourse With Her. She's Never Sucked My Dick She's Never Sucked Carson's." 33 Released On October 17 Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water Set A Record For Highest First-Week Sales For A Rock Album With Over One Million Copies Sold In The US In Its First Week Of Release. 400 000 Of Those Sales Happened During The First Day Making It The Fastest-Selling Rock Album Ever And Breaking The Record Held For Seven Years By Pearl Jam's Vs. 34 Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water Was Certified Gold Platinum And Six Times Multi-Platinum. 35 The Album Received Mixed Reviews 36 With AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine Writing "Durst's Self-Pitying And The Monotonous Music Give Away That The Band Bashed Chocolate Starfish Out Very Quickly – It's The Sound Of A Band Determined To Deliver A Sequel In A Finite Amount Of Time." 37 Entertainment Weekly Writer David Browne Named It As The Worst Album Title Of 2000 38 Whilst Readers Of Kerrang! Magazine Voted It The Worst Album Of The Year As Well As Voting Limp Bizkit And Fred Durst As The Worst Band Of 2000 And The "Arse Of The Year" Respectively. 39 During A 2001 Tour Of Australia At The Big Day Out Festival In Sydney Fans Rushed The Stage In The Mosh Pit And Teenager Jessica Michalik Died Of Asphyxiation. In Court Durst Represented By Long-Time Attorney Ed McPherson Testified He Had Warned The Concert's Organizers Aaron Jackson Will Pearce And Amar Tailor As Well As The Concert's Promoter Vivian Lees Of The Potential Dangers Of Such Minimal Security. 40 After Viewing Videotapes And Hearing Witness Testimony However The Coroner Said It Was Evident That The Crowd's Density Was Dangerous At The Time Limp Bizkit Took The Stage Stating That Fred Durst Should Have Acted More Responsibly When The Problem Became Apparent. 41 Durst Stated That He Was "emotionally Scarred" Because Of The Teenager's Death. 42 Durst Also Stated That He Was Aware Of The Security Problems But That He And The Band Were Forced To Play In The Festival "There Was A Demand For Us To Play Big Day Out 2001 So We Filled It. When We Came To Play We Said "The Barricades Aren't Right – People Are Gonna Go Crazy So We're Not Playing." And They Go "No You're Goddamn Wrong. You Are Playing – You're The Headliners." And We Go "No You Gotta Have The Right Barricade." The Promoters Who Owned Big Day Out At The Time Were Rude. The Police Came And It Turned Into This Huge Thing With Them Telling Us "There's Gonna Be A Riot If You Don't Play And If That Happens We're Arresting You". 32 Later In 2001 Numerous Hip-Hop Artists Including P. Diddy Timbaland Bubba Sparxxx And Everlast Remixed Famous Songs From The Band Into Hip-Hop Versions Adding Their Own Styles And Modifications. The Album Was Called New Old Songs. Departure Of Borland And Results May Vary 2001–2003 In October 2001 Durst Released A Statement On Their Website Stating That "Limp Bizkit And Wes Borland Have Amicably Decided To Part Ways. Both Limp Bizkit And Borland Will Continue To Pursue Their Respective Musical Careers. Both Wish Each Other The Best Of Luck In All Future Endeavors." 43 Durst Also Stated That The Band Would "comb The World For The Illest Guitar Player Known To Man" To Replace Borland. 43 When Asked Why Borland Quit The Band Ross Robinson Stated That He Quit Because "He Doesn't Sell Out For Money Anymore". 44 Durst Held A Nationwide Audition For A New Guitarist Called "Put Your Guitar Where Your Mouth Is." 45 However Mike Henderson Who Was One Of The Guitarists Who Went For The Audition Revealed That The Event Was Nothing More Than A Publicity Stunt. Durst Had No Intention To Recruit A New Guitarist And The Whole Thing Was Intended To Sell Guitar Center Products. This Caused An Uproar Amongst The Guitarists Who Had Been Waiting For Hours. 46 The Band Eventually Recorded With Snot Guitarist Mike Smith Though They Later Scrapped The Initial Recording Sessions With Smith. 47 In May 2002 Durst Posted Wes Borland's Personal Email Address Online And Told Fans To Ask Him To Rejoin The Group. Borland Stated That 75% Or More Of All The Emails Pleaded For Him Not To Return To The Band. 48 During The Album's Production The Working Title Changed From Bipolar 47 To Panty Sniffer 47 And Was Completed Under The Title Results May Vary. Under Durst's Sole Leadership The Album Encompassed A Variety Of Styles 49 And Featured A Cover Of The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" Which Differed From The Original's Arrangement In Its Inclusion Of A Speak & Spell During The Song's Bridge. 47 Results May Vary Consisted Of Various Recording Sessions Some Of Which Included Smith On Guitars And Some Without However Smith Continued To Play Live Shows With The Band. 47 Limp Bizkit Performed At WWE WrestleMania XIX With Both Smith And Korn's Brian Welch On Guitars. In The Summer Of 2003 Limp Bizkit Participated On The Summer Sanitarium Tour Headlined By Metallica. 50 At The Tour's Chicago Stop Concert Attendees Threw Items And Heckled Durst From The Moment He Walked On Stage. With The Crowd Chanting "Fuck Fred Durst" And Continuing Their Assault On Him Durst Threw The Mic Down After Six Songs And Walked Off Stage But Not Before Heckling The Crowd Back. He Repeatedly Said "Limp Bizkit Are The Best Band In The World!" Until A Roadie Took His Microphone Away. 50 An Article In The Sun-Times Stated That The Hostility Was Started By Radio Personality Mancow. 51 Results May Vary Was Released On September 23 2003 And Received Largely Unfavorable Reviews. 52 AllMusic Reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine Panned The Album Writing "the Music Has No Melody Hooks Or Energy And All Attention Is Focused On The Clown Jumping Up And Down And Screaming In Front And Long Before The Record Is Over You're Left Wondering How The Hell Did He Ever Get To Put This Mess Out?" 47 The Guardian Reviewer Caroline Sullivan Wrote "At Least Limp Bizkit Can't Be Accused Of Festering In The Rap-Rock Ghetto ... But Durst's Problems Are Ever-Present – And Does Anybody Still Care?" 49 Despite Criticisms Of The Album It Was A Commercial Success Peaking At No. 3 On The Billboard 200. 53 Smith Departed From The Band In August 2004. Durst Later Told A Fan Site That He Had A Falling-Out With Smith Saying "We Are The Type Of People That Stay True To Our Family And Our Instincts And At Any Moment Will Act On Intuition As A Whole. Mike Wasn't The Guy. We Had Fun Playing With Him But Always Knew In The Back Of Our Minds That He Wasn't Where We Needed Him To Be Mentally." 54 Borland's Return The Unquestionable Truth Part 1 And Hiatus 2004–2008 In August 2004 Borland Rejoined Limp Bizkit Which Began Recording An EP The Unquestionable Truth Part 1 . 54 In May The Unquestionable Truth Part 1 Was Released. Sammy Siegler Took Over Drumming Duties For The Band For Much Of The EP Which Featured A More Experimental Sound Described By AllMusic Writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine As "neo-Prog Alt-Metal". 55 At Durst's Insistence The Album Was Released As An Underground Album Without Any Advertising Or Promotion. 56 57 Borland Disagreed With The Decision Suggesting That It Was "self-Sabotage" "Maybe He Was Already Unhappy With The Music And He Didn't Really Want To Put It Out There." 57 The EP Received Mixed Reviews. Stephen Thomas Erlewine Praised The Music Calling It "a Step In The Right Direction – It's More Ambitious Dramatic And Aggressive Built On Pummeling Verses And Stop-Start Choruses." However He Felt That The Band Was Being "held Back" By Durst Whom He Called "the Most Singularly Unpleasant Absurd Frontman In Rock." 55 IGN Writer Spence D. Similarly Gave It A Mixed Review As He Felt That The Album Lacked Direction But That Showed Potential For The Band's Musical Growth. 58 The Unquestionable Truth Part 1 Sold Over 37 000 Copies In Its First Week Of Release And Debuted At No. 24 On The Billboard 200 But Due To Its Lack Of Advertising Sales Fell Off Quickly And Only Sold 88 000 Copies In The United States By March 2006. 53 59 60 Following The Release Of The Band's Greatest Hitz Album The Band Went On Hiatus. 57 61 Borland Stated That It Was Unlikely That A Sequel To The Unquestionable Truth Would Be Produced And That "As Of Right Now None Of My Future Plans Include Limp Bizkit." 57 62 Reunion Gold Cobra And Departure From Interscope 2009–2011 Borland Otto Background And Durst Performing Live In 2009 Limp Bizkit Reunited With Borland Playing Guitar And Launched The Unicorns N' Rainbows Tour. 63 Durst Announced That They Had Begun To Record A New Album Which Borland Titled Gold Cobra. 64 65 Borland Said That The Title Does Not Have Any Meaning And That It Was Chosen Because It Fit The Style Of Music The Band Was Writing For The Album. 65 The Band Recorded A Spoken Intro Written By Durst And Performed By Kiss Member Gene Simmons For The Album But It Was Left Off The Completed Album. 66 67 The Band Also Recorded Additional "non-Album" Tracks Including "Combat Jazz" Which Featured Rapper Raekwon And "Middle Finger" Featuring Paul Wall. 67 "Shotgun" Was Released As A Single On May 17 2011.

I Know What He Wants To Do But Don't Know What He Would Do If He Came Back Into The Band. He's Kind Of All Over The Place And I Don't Know If He Wants To Be In The Band. When We Had Him Back Nothing Materialized As Far As Material Coming Out Of Him To Add To The Record. We're Talking To Him. We've Opened Up Dialogue Back With Him Recently And We'll See What Happens. —Wes Borland On The Band's Relationship With DJ Lethal 83 The Band Recorded Their Seventh Studio Album Stampede Of The Disco Elephants 84 With Producer Ross Robinson 85 86 Who Also Produced The Band's Debut Album Three Dollar Bill Yall And Their 2005 EP The Unquestionable Truth Part 1 . 83 On March 24 2013 The First Single From The Album "Ready To Go" Featuring Lil Wayne Was Released On Limpbizkit.Com. 87 In November A Cover Of The Ministry Song "Thieves" Was Released By The Band Via Their Official Facebook And Twitter Accounts. 88 In December The Band Released The Previously Leaked Song "Lightz" Along With An Accompanying Music Video. 89 The Next Single Off The Album "Endless Slaughter" Was Set To Be Released Only On Cassette And During Concerts 90 But Can Be Downloaded At The Band's Official Website.

The Band Announced Their Major 2015 Tour Called "Money Sucks" A Russian 20-Date Tour To Take Place During October And November Celebrating Limp Bizkit's 20th Anniversary. The Tour Name Was A Nod To The Difficult Economic Situation That Russia Was Facing At The Time. 92 93 94 The Tour Gathered Criticism As The Band Performed In Crimea Who Had Been Illegally Annexed By Russia In 2014 Showing Flags Saying "Crimea Russia". 95 Before The Band Traveled To Europe To Attend The "Money Sucks" Tour Sam Rivers Was Diagnosed With A Degenerative Disease Of The Spinal Discs That Was Complicated Due To A Pinched Nerve Causing A Lot Of Pain In Such Areas And Which Prevented Him From Being With The Band. 96 23-Year-Old German Bassist Samuel Gerhard Mpungu Replaced Rivers For The Tour. 97 Fred Durst And Wes Borland Performing At KROQ Weenie Roast 2019 Limp Bizkit Offered Several Concerts In The United Kingdom During Winter 2016 Alongside Korn. 98 Regarding This Tour Fred Says "You May Have Experienced A Lot Of Cool Concerts In Your Life But I Can Guarantee You That An Evening With Korn And Limp Bizkit Will Always And Forever Be Your Favorite.

It's Time To Bring It Back!" 99 Because Of Little Information And Constant Delays For The Release Of Stampede In An Interview/talk With The Podcast "Someone Who Isn't Me" Wes Said That Fred "isn't Happy" With What He Was Working On.

And We've Been Working On Stuff Working On Stuff Working On Stuff. And Fred Durst Has Been Consistently Kind Of Unsatisfied With Where Vision Is I Guess...We Probably Have 35 Songs Recorded Instrumentally And He's Done Vocals On Them And Then Thrown The Vocals Away — Done Vocals And Then Gone 'Fuck This ' And Thrown It Away. So I Think He's Finally At The Point Now Where He's Gonna Pick A Set Of These Songs That He's Finally Cool With And Finish 'em And We're Gonna Finish The Record. So Fingers Crossed." 103 In August 2021 Just A Week After Their Main Stage Set At Lollapalooza The Band Canceled Their Summer Tour "out Of An Abundance Of Caution And Concern For The Safety Of The Band Crew And Most Of All The Fans" In Relation To Rising COVID-19 Cases In The United States. 104 On August 25 2021 The Band Revealed New Music Would Be "leaked" In Rapid Succession With Their New Album To Follow Soon After. 105 On September 30 2021 The Band Released A New Single "Dad Vibes". 106 On October 19 Durst Teased On Instagram That More Songs Would Be Coming Soon Revealing The Titles "Turn It Up Bitch" And "Goodbye" As Well As The Album Containing 12 Tracks. 107 On October 28 2021 Durst Confirmed Via Instagram That The Band's Sixth Album – Now Titled Still Sucks – Would Be Released On October 31 2021. 108 Artistry Music "Counterfeit" By Limp Bizkit 0 26 "Counterfeit" Which Appears On The Band's 1997 Debut Three Dollar Bill Yall Is Noted For "kinetic Frenzied Energy" 19 And A Mix Of Music Styles. Problems Playing This File? See Media Help. Durst Wanted Limp Bizkit To Be A "megaband" Which Could Cross Over Into As Many Different Styles Of Music As Possible. 7 Limp Bizkit's Music Has Predominately Been Described As Nu Metal 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 Rap Metal 116 117 118 119 And Rap Rock. 120 121 122 123 124 125 Limp Bizkit Have Also Been Described As Alternative Metal 126 127 Alternative Rock 128 Post-Grunge 129 And Hard Rock. 130 In 2000 The New York Daily News Labelled The Band As "frat-Metal". 131 Limp Bizkit's Music Is Noted For Its "kinetic Frenzied Energy". 19 Otto Is Adept In Drumming In A Variety Of Styles Ranging From Brazilian And Afro-Cuban Music To Bebop And Funk. 7 DJ Lethal Functions As A Sound Designer For The Band Shaping Their Sound. According To Lethal "I Try And Bring New Sounds Not Just The Regular Chirping Scratching Sounds. ... It's All Different Stuff That You Haven't Heard Before. I'm Trying To Be Like Another Guitar Player." 7 Borland's Guitar Playing Is Experimental And Nontraditional And He Is Noted For His Creative Use Of Six And Seven-String Guitars. 132 Three Dollar Bill Yall Features Him Playing Without A Guitar Pick Performing With Two Hands One Playing Melodic Notes And The Other Playing Chord Progressions. 7 His Guitar Playing Has Made Use Of Octave Shapes And Choppy Eighth-Note Rhythms Sometimes Accompanied By Muting His Strings With His Left Hand Creating A Percussive Sound. 133 Borland Has Also Made Use Of Unevenly Accented Syncopated Sixteenth Notes To Create A Disorienting Effect And Hypnotic Droning Licks. 133 The Song "Stuck" Uses A Sustain Pedal In The First Bar And Muted Riffs In The Second Bar. 133 AllMusic Writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine Said That The Band's Album Significant Other Contains "flourishes Of Neo-Psychedelia On Pummeling Metal Numbers" And "swirls Of Strings Even Crooning At The Most Unexpected Background". 134 The Band Did Not Employ Solos Until Gold Cobra Except For The Song "Underneath The Gun" From Results May Vary However During The Recording Of Significant Other Drummer John Otto Performed An Extended Solo In The Middle Of The Song "Nobody Like You". 24 A Drum Solo Can Also Be Heard On "9 Teen 90 Nine" From The Same Album. Lyrics Durst's Lyrics Are Often Profane Scatological Or Angry. 37 62 Much Of Durst's Lyrical Inspiration Came From Growing Up And His Personal Life. 7 The Song "Sour" From The Album Three Dollar Bill Yall Was Inspired By Durst's Problems With His Girlfriend. 7 His Breakup With Her Inspired The Significant Other Songs "Nookie" And "Re-Arranged". 23 When Describing Limp Bizkit's Lyrics The Michigan Daily Said "In A Less-Serious Vein Limp Bizkit Used The Nu-Metal Sound As A Way To Spin Testosterone Fueled Fantasies Into Snarky White-Boy Rap. Oddly Audiences Took Frontman Fred Durst More Seriously Than He Wanted Failing To See The Intentional Silliness In Many Of His Songs." 135 Durst Said That People Failed To Understand The Band's Proposal "There Was Always A Lot Of Pain In My Life. Mental And Physical Abuse Happens Regularly In My Life. I've Been Bullied My Whole Life But I Also Love Having Fun And Getting Crazy And Being Silly And Outrageous. We Always Had That In Our Band And A Lot Of People Didn't Understand That." 136 Durst Also Said That The Band's Purpose Was To Serve As A Satire But "We Just Didn't Make It That Obvious." 137 The Band's Guitarist Wes Borland Said That "Limp Bizkit Is Definitely A Dumb Rock Band." 138 Limp Bizkit's Lyrics Have Also Been Described As "misogynistic". 139 In Response To These Accusations Durst Said "That's Because I Said The Words Whore And Bitch. My Whole Record Is About My Girlfriend Who Put Me Through The Ringer For Three Years And My Insecurity About It. It Became This Big Thing." 140 The Baltimore Sun Talked About The Band's Song "Nookie" Which Is Accused Of Being Sexist And Misogynistic "Despite Its Seemingly Salacious Title 'Nookie' Is Not About The Joy Of Sex Instead It Finds Singer Fred Durst Talking About How He Let His Girlfriend Take Advantage Of Him Because He Was A Fool For Love. So When He Gets To The Chorus Catch-Phrase - 'I Did It All For The Nookie' - What We Hear Is More Self-Recrimination Than Boast." 141 The Unquestionable Truth Part 1 Focuses On More Serious And Darker Lyrical Subject Matter Including Catholic Sex Abuse Cases Terrorism And Fame. 55 Influences Rage Against The Machine's Zack De La Rocha Right And Faith No More's Mike Patton Left Were Major Influences On Fred Durst. Limp Bizkit's Influences Include The Jesus Lizard 142 Tomahawk 142 Dave Matthews Band 142 Portishead 142 Mr. Bungle 142 Sepultura 142 Ministry 142 Prong 142 Tool 143 Primus 142 144 Pantera 145 146 Minor Threat 142 147 Angry Samoans 147 Black Flag 147 The Fat Boys 147 The Treacherous Three 147 The Cold Crush Brothers 147 Urban Dance Squad 145 Rage Against The Machine 145 Korn 145 Deftones 145 Jane's Addiction 148 And John Zorn. 142 As Pointed Out By Author Joel McIver Limp Bizkit's Mix Of Rap And Metal Was Notably Preceded By The Bands Rage Against The Machine And Faith No More But Its Lyrics Widely Differed From The Radical Politics Of The Former And The Existential Poetry Of The Latter. 149 Durst Cited Both Bands As Two Of His Biggest Influences. 150 148 Faith No More's Semi-Ironic Cover Of "Easy" By Lionel Richie In 1992 Hinted What Would Be The Recording Of George Michael's "Faith" By Limp Bizkit In 1997. 151 The Frontmen Of Both Groups Have Distanced Themselves From Limp Bizkit Zack De La Rocha Of Rage Against The Machine Stated That Limp Bizkit "sucks" 152 While Faith No More Vocalist Mike Patton Paraphrased The Quote Attributed To Götz Von Berlichingen Er Kann Mich Am Arsch Lecken – "He Can Lick My Ass" When Asked By A German Reporter About Durst's Interest In Releasing His Music Through Interscope Records. 153 Live Performances Guitarist Wes Borland Is Known For His Visual Performance Style And Often Performs Wearing Costumes Or Body Paint. Borland Is Known For Performing In Costumes And Body Paint During Concerts Appearing In Bunny And Kung Fu Suits 7 And Painted As A Skeleton And What He Describes As A "burnt Match". Describing The Character He Stated "I Go Onstage Wearing Almost Nothing. I Have Underwear And My Boots On And I Paint My Whole Head Black—from The Neck Up—and I Have The Black Contacts. All You Can See Is These Glowing Teeth." 132 Borland's Black Contacts Were Customized For Him By A Company Noted For Making Contacts For The Science Fiction TV Series Babylon 5. 132 In Addition To Borland's Visual Appearance The Band Has Also Used Elaborate Stage Setups In Their Performances. Their Ladies Night In Cambodia Club Tour Visually Paid Tribute To The Film Apocalypse Now With An Elaborate Stage Setup Which Featured An Empty Jeep Camouflage Mesh And Palm Trees. 17 During The Band's Tour With Primus Limp Bizkit Took Inspiration From Primus' Trademark Self-Deprecatory Slogan "Primus Sucks" Durst Borland Rivers Otto And Lethal Took The Stage With Middle Fingers Raised. According To Borland "they Finger Us Back—and You Know What That Means To Us—that They Love Us. It's Kind Of Like Saying Something Is Bad When You Really Mean Good. Les Claypool Came Out The First Night Of The Tour And Got A Big Kick Out Of It. We Figured It Was The Right Idea. It Makes Hecklers Go 'huh.'" 17 During The Band's Sets At Ozzfest Audience Members At The Tour Heckled Limp Bizkit Leading The Band To Use A 30-Foot 9.1 M Toilet As A Stage Prop Which They Would Emerge From During Each Performance The Band Punctuated Their Sets By "flushing" Cardboard Cutouts Of Pop Stars Like Hanson And The Spice Girls. 17 During Their Appearance At The First Family Values Tour Limp Bizkit Performed On A Set Which The Los Angeles Times Described As "a Mix Of The War Of The Worlds And Mars Attacks". The Band Emerged From A Spaceship During The Tour And Borland Continued To Experiment With Visual Appearances. 17 During The Band's Halloween Performance On The Tour Each Of The Band's Members Dressed As Elvis Presley At Various Stages In His Career. 17 Legacy And Influence Limp Bizkit Is Considered One Of The Bands That Defined The Nu Metal Genre. 154 155 Alternative Press Said "As The Years Have Gone By Some Nü-Metal Outfits Have Progressively Downplayed Their Bracket's Hip-Hop Sensibilities. Even So You Can Guarantee One Of Their Primary Influences Were Limp Bizkit... The Happily Mismatched Band From Jacksonville Florida Established The Ground Rules Of Nü Metal.. Blur Ring The Lines Between The Two Most Polarizing Genres In Music... Limp Bizkit Created Timeless Odes To Teenage Angst That In Time We've Discovered Still Apply Right Into Adulthood." 155 Kerrang! Magazine Talked About The Impact Of The Band's Song "Break Stuff" "If Deftones Represented Something Deeper About Nu-Metal Limp Bizkit Represented Something Entirely At The Other End Of The Scale. Despite Having A Genuinely Innovative Guitarist In Wes Borland Whose Vision For His Genre-Straddling Band Was Probably More In Line With Bands Like Primus Faith No More And Mr. Bungle... Break Stuff Ahem Broke Limp Bizkit Through Its Fiendishly Simple Two-Chord Motif Kick-Up-The-Arse Drop And Its Glued-To-MTV Video Featuring Jonathan Davis Flea And The Who's Roger Daltrey As Well As Rap Megastars Snoop Dogg Eminem And Dr. Dre Taking Them To An Audience Far Beyond Metal. The Celebrity That Followed Was Huge. The Influence It Left Was Huger." 156 Although Limp Bizkit Inspired Nu Metal Bands Like Linkin Park In The 2000s 157 New Bands In The Genre Continue To Use Bizkit's Sound As An Influence Such As Acclaimed Nu Metal Revival Band Wargasm The Members Grew Up Listening To Limp Bizkit And Have Said That "wouldn't Be The Band We Are Today Without Them". 158 Richard Cheese Performed A Lounge Rendition Of The Songs "Nookie" And "Break Stuff" On His Debut Album Lounge Against The Machine. 159 The Vitamin String Quartet Recorded A Tribute Album Called The String Quartet Tribute To Limp Bizkit Break Stuff Which Contains Reinterpretations Of The Band's Songs Performed By A Violinist Backed By Cellos Synthesizers And Keyboard Percussion. 160 The Blackout Covered "My Generation" For The Compilation Higher Voltage! Another Brief History Of Rock. 161 Following The Band's Set At Lollapalooza 2021 Which Was Broadcast On Hulu And The Release Of The Song "Dad Vibes" In 2021 The Band Began Having A Shift In Public Opinion Garnering Positive Responses From Critics And Audiences. 162 163 164 The Band's 2021 Comeback Album Still Sucks Helped With The Shifting Opinion With The Album Receiving Widespread Positive Reviews And Acclaim For The First Time Since The Early 2000s. 165 166 Limp Bizkit Was Mentioned In A Scene Between Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik And Idris Elba's Knuckles In The 2022 Film Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Where Robotnik Compares Knuckles To Being As Useless As A "Limp Bizkit Backstage Pass." 167 168 Limp Bizkit Appears In Generation Kill 2004 Originally Conceived By Journalist Evan Wright As A Three-Part Rolling Stone Magazine Series Before Becoming A 2008 HBO Mini-Series By The Same Name. Generation Kill Chronicles Wright's Experience As A Reporter Embedded With A Platoon Of U.S. Recon Marines During The 2003 Invasion Of Iraq.
