| Rising up and conquering all, this overnight success spawned when singer Fred Durst teamed up with longtime friend Sam Rivers. Rivers soon brought aboard his cousin and drummer John Otto, and Wes Borland was recruited to form the nucleus of Limp Bizkit. The name was derived from a comment Fred's friend made one night, that his brain was like a "limp biscuit." A little altering of the spelling and it was finished. With a little help from Korn, whose members were inked by Fred himself, they were on their way to success. DJ Lethal joined the band after the demise of House of Pain, and shortly afterwards their debut album, Three Dollar Bill Y'all$ was released. The band proceeded to tour, tour, and tour some more to promote the album. But no promotion worked quite as well as the release of the video for Faith, which spawned success beyond anyone's imagination. One thing led to another, and now most consider Limp to be the ultimate rock/rap band. I have seen them in person, and I must say they put on one of the most amazing live shows you will ever see. It is their devotion to the fans and their willingness to interact with them that is the main reason they will be around for years to come. |
