Limp Bizkit back for world tour

Limp Bizkit have sold more than 33 million record worldwide
Limp Bizkit have announced that all five original members are reuniting for a world tour in the spring.

The band, led by charismatic frontman Fred Durst, said they were "disgusted and bored" with modern music.

Original guitarist Wes Borland quit in 2001 and the band split in 2004 after enjoying worldwide success with songs like Rollin' and My Generation.

Limp Bizkit were pioneers of "nu-metal", fusing hard rock music and hip-hop style drums and lyrics.

The line-up of former tattoo artist Fred Durst, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, John Otto, and former House of Pain turntablist DJ Lethal formed in Florida in 1995 and released their debut album Three Dollar Bill, Yall$ in 1997.

Their biggest album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water was released in 2000 and gave them their only UK number one single Rollin'.

Guitarist Wes Borland left the band a year later after his relationship with Durst became strained.

In a joint statement, they said they were "more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other".

It continued: "Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognise there is a powerful and unique energy with this particular group of people we have not found anywhere else. This is why Limp Bizkit is back."

The band will kick off a world tour in the spring with shows planned for eastern Europe and German festivals Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park.

A new album is also planned.

2. Could we maybe get Fred Phelps to picket this instead?

I mean, if there were a god, he/she would not allow this to happen, right?

4. fred durst's porn career never took off?

:rofl: :rofl:

[YOY]

5. I still think Will Sasso of Mad TV had Durst 100% when he lampooned him.

Somebody would say something to him and he'd go off on his over the top white boy trying to act black act and start talking non-sensically about "Big Daddy Durst's Balls" and what not.

The other person would just look at him.

6. They weren't that good when they WEREN'T that good.

10. That's funny, Fred....

I'm disgusted and bored with your music(and I'm being kind in calling it that), too.

11. Don't get me wrong I love bands who combine Rock and Rap together...

...but only good ones like Incubus, RATM or 311.

12. "charismatic frontman Fred Durst"

So "charismatic frontman" is the new shorthand for "douchebag," then? Good to know.
