Limp Bizkit is a nu-metal band that started in 1995 and is often credited with the popularization of the genre. The band is currently signed to Geffen Records and was previously signed to Interscope Records; both labels are part of the Universal Music Group. Their albums have sold over 50 million copies worldwide.

Limp Bizkit consists of vocalist Fred Durst, guitarist Wes Borland, bassist Sam Rivers, drummer John Otto (Rivers’ cousin), and turntablist / samples player DJ Lethal. Wes Borland was with them for their first three albums but left in 2001, to be replaced by Mike Smith (formerly of the band Snot). However, in August 2004, Borland returned to Limp Bizkit. Following the release of The Unquestionable Truth EP in 2005, he parted with the band once more. In February 2009, Durst and Borland announced the return of Limp Bizkit’s original line-up, bringing with it the possibility of a new album and tour.

Early years

Contrary to popular belief, Limp Bizkit was not named for the fraternity game “limp biscuit”. They were named because a roadie once said “I’m so high, I feel that my brain is a limp biscuit”. The band was formed in 1994 by Durst, Rivers, Rob Waters (the 1st guitar player of the band) and Otto, touring in and around their hometown of Jacksonville. About this time, they became friends with rap music’s House of Pain, which included DJ Lethal. Soon after House of Pain broke up, DJ Lethal joined the band. They were discovered by KoЯn’s bassist Reginald Arvizu in 1995, backstage at a Jacksonville KoЯn concert. In 1996 they released a three song demo tape featuring the songs Pollution, Counterfeit, and Stuck which Fred Durst gave to Ross Robinson who was at the time working with KoЯn.
