Limp Bizkit

An American nu-metal/rap-rock group formed in 1994 in Jacksonville, Florida. Limp Bizkit became known for the tough themes of their songs, Fred Durst's aggressive performance style, the sonic experiments and intimidating stage image of Wes Borland, as well as their detailed and spectacular live performances. The band has been nominated for a Grammy award three times and has sold over 55 million albums worldwide. At the beginning of their career, Limp Bizkit gained some popularity in Jacksonville. Later, the band became famous in the USA after the musicians signed a contract in 1997 with the labels Interscope and Flip Records, which released the band's debut studio album Three Dollar Bill, Yall$. Limp Bizkit achieved significant popularity, both in America and around the world, with the release of the albums Significant Other (1999), Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000), and subsequent concert tours and performances at the Woodstock '99 and Big Day Out festivals, which caused a mass of controversy among critics and journalists. In 2001, Wes Borland left the band and guitarist Mike Smith took his place. However, after the release of the fourth studio album, Results May Vary, in 2003, Borland returned to Limp Bizkit. In 2005, the EP The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) was released, after which the band temporarily ceased creative activities. In 2009, Limp Bizkit reunited. The musicians released their fifth disc, Gold Cobra (2011), then left Interscope and signed a contract with the Cash Money Records label. In 2012, due to a conflict with Fred Durst, programmer and keyboardist DJ Lethal left the band, and DJ Skeletor replaced him as a touring member.
