Limp Bizkit

Limp Bizkit is an American rap metal band from Jacksonville, Florida. The current members of the band include vocalist Fred Durst, guitarist Wes Borland, bassist Sam Rivers, drummer John Otto (Rivers’ cousin) and turntablist/sampler/keyboardist DJ Lethal. After signing with Flip/Interscope, Limp Bizkit released their debut album, Three Dollar Bill Y’All. By mid-1998, Limp Bizkit had become one of the more hyped bands in the developing rap-metal scene, helped as well by more touring action — this time with Faith No More and later, Primus — as well as an appearance on MTV’s Spring Break ’98 fashion show. The biggest break, however, was a spot on that summer’s Family Values Tour, which greatly raised the group’s profile. Limp Bizkit’s much-anticipated second album, Significant Other, was released in June 1999, and with the accompanying video for “Nookie” made the group superstars. Significant Other debuted at number one and had sold over four million copies by year’s end, also helping push Three Dollar Bill Y’All past the platinum mark. The nu-metallers, were recently signed by Lil Wayne’s Cash Money Records and in 2009, the band went back into the studio to record with its original lineup. Limp Bizkit released their fifth studio album, Gold Cobra, in the summer of 2011 and is back on tour.
