Learn Limp Bizkit songs: Who are they?

Limp Bizkit is an American nu metal band from Jacksonville, Florida. The band consists of lead singer Fred Durst, drummer John Otto, guitarist Wes Borland, turntablist DJ Lethal and bassist Sam Rivers. Limp Bizkit's music is distinguished by Durst's angry vocal style and Borland's sonic experimentations. Borland's elaborate visual aesthetic, including face and body painting, masks and uniforms, plays a significant role in the band's live performances. With three Grammy Award nominations, 40 million record sales worldwide, and several other accolades, Limp Bizkit has also released 26 singles, including “Nookie,” “Re-Arranged,” “Break Stuff,” “Take a Look Around”, “Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)”, “My Generation”, “My Way”, “Eat You Alive” and a cover of “Behind Blue Eyes” by The Who in 1971, all of which made the top 20 of the US Alternative Airplay Chart.

Formed in 1994, Limp Bizkit gained popularity performing in the Jacksonville underground music scene in the late 1990s. The group signed with Flip Records (with distribution from Interscope), who released their debut album, “ Three Dollar Bill, Y’all” (1997). Mainstream notoriety came with the second and third studio albums, “Significant Other” (1999) and “Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water” (2000), although controversies related to performances at Woodstock '99 and the festival Big Day Out 2001 tainted this success.

In 2001, Borland left the band, but Durst, Rivers, Otto and Lethal continued to record and tour with guitarist Mike Smith. After releasing the album “Results May Vary” (2003), Borland returned to record “The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1)” (2005) with Durst, Rivers, Lethal and drummer Sammy Siegler before going on hiatus. In 2009, the band reunited with Borland on guitar, resulting in the creation of the album “Gold Cobra” (2011). After leaving Interscope and signing with Cash Money Records, the group released their sixth studio album, “Still Sucks,” on October 31, 2021.
