#Limp bizkit first album release date full#
Then an odd thing happened: the band reunited in 2009 to find that their brand of rap metal had gone full circle – it was suddenly cool to like Limp Bizkit again. The undisputed kings of nu-metal around the turn of the century, Florida’s Limp Bizkit spent the rest of the noughties in a downward spiral of near-abusive ridicule from music fans and critics, increasingly questionable material (especially their 'Unquestionable Truth (Part 1)' record), and departing members, until they went on hiatus in 2005. Limp Bizkit won the Maximum Vision Award for their song "Nookie" They have also been nominated for 3 Grammy awards, 3 American Music Awards and successfully won Favorite Alternative Artist in 2002. Their first album "Three Dollar Bill Yall" was not very successful but this was turned around by their second album "significant Other" the album climbed to the number 1 position after it managed to sell 643,874 copies within its first week of going on sale. Limp Bizkit to date have released 6 studio albums and plan on releasing a 7th album in 2015 titled "Stampede of the Disco Elephants".
The band would later be joined by Wes Borland in 2004. Fred got Sam Rivers to join by persuading him to leave the band he was in at the time they then also recruited John Otto who is the cousin of Sam Rivers. As young lad Fred Durst was a fan of breakdancing, hip hop and punk rock an unusual combination some would say, but it was the basis upon which Limp Bizkit thrives upon. The band was formed whilst Fred Durst was in a string of unsuccessful bands. The band are currently signed to Cash Money Records, Flip and Interscope. The current lineup of Limp Bizkit as of 2014 consists of: Fred Durst - Vocals, Wes Borland - backing vocals and guitar, Sam Rivers - backing vocals and bass guitar and John Otto on the drums.
