Limp Bizkit are the gold standard when it comes to rock bands that are ridiculous and laughable; their catalogue includes songs that are both entertaining and ridiculous, making for ideal mosher music.

Jacksonville's gents boast an immense sound characterized by deep bass grinds, catchy little raps and jagged guitar riffs.

nu metal band

Nu metal, an eclectic genre that blends elements of both rap music and heavy metal music, was popular during the late 1990s and early 2000s, and popular bands included Limp Bizkit and Korn. Their music often caused outrage from critics in both press coverage and other musicians; Evanescence also had a reputation as Nu Metal group; however vocalist Amy Lee disagreed with this label as she felt it confused newcomers to their sound.

Nu metal music features percussive rhythms and bass lines that complement guitar riffs, often drawing influence from funk and hip hop influences. Bassists play an integral part of these bands, often using techniques such as slap bass for creating funky grooves. Lyrically speaking, Nu metal songs tend to tackle issues of anger or frustration with lyrics like these:

Though nu metal's popularity was brief, its influence has had a lasting effect on rock. Influencers of nu metal include CREED, 3 Doors Down, Hoobastank, 12 Stones, Coheed and Cambria and Papa Roach; Limp Bizkit and Korn were two notable bands from this genre that also played in this scene along with Static X, Orgy Videodrone and Snot.

Music

Limp Bizkit's music is an eclectic fusion of metal and rap. Frontman Fred Durst's aggressive rapping and melodic singing have helped establish their nu metal identity, while their sound features heavy syncopation, downtuned guitars, rap-rock elements, and heavy syncopation for added intensity. Their sound has often been described as rebelling against authority or conformity - an irony not lost on anyone listening!

Success of the band was helped immensely by its massive debut single "Take a Look Around," which quickly established itself on rock radio and MTV playlists alike. Following its release on its second album Significant Other with George Michael's "Faith," which had an additional hard edge that proved popular among music fans alike, success of the group continued unabated.

Though the band experienced some internal strife in the late '90s, it remained an influential presence on the music scene. Their unique blend of chemistry and cohesiveness allowed them to remain popular even after Wes Borland left in 2003; during this time period, they toured extensively and made appearances on major festivals - still touring today as one of their most influential bands from this era.

Tour

Limp Bizkit burst onto the music scene in 1999 with their release of their second album Significant Other, riding an intense wave of guitar riffs and vocals from Fred Durst that helped define late 90s metal music - particularly nu metal and its popular nu metal genre, Nu Metal. Their hits such as "Nookie" and "Break Stuff" became emblematic of suburban rebellion; while their tour with Metallica and Korn as well as festival appearances including Woodstock became iconic moments.

At the turn of the millennium, a band's rise and fall revealed key aspects about cultural history of rock and metal at that time. Their success or failure represented fragmented state of metal scene that was experiencing consolidation then fragmentation simultaneously.

Limp Bizkit's music is defined by its multilayered musical landscape, featuring different stylistic elements interacting in unique ways. Their sound comes from the collective efforts of each member - John Otto's bone-rattling mix of boom-bap and headbanging percussion; Sam Rivers' heavy stank-face funk bass lines; DJ Lethal's frenetic (and sometimes hidden) cuts and scratches; Fred Durst's skater boy scream vocals and b-boy rhyming; DJ Lethal's (and sometimes hidden) cuts and scratches; as well as Fred Durst's skater boy scream vocals and b-boy rhyming; Limp Bizkit is deeply influenced by hip hop culture as evidenced by Lethal's turntables being featured frequently featured prominently within their music videos; however; influences also include hip hop culture itself which have had an influence upon them; also being featured as part of their videos: Lethal often featuring Lethal along with his turntables being featured alongside turntables as part of hip hop culture as evidenced by frequent appearances of Lethal and his turntables being featured as part of their videos is another factor: Limp Bizkit is deeply influenced by hip hop culture as evidenced by their frequent inclusion of Lethal and his turntables often appearing prominently featured within their music videos and as evidenced by hip hop culture itself as seen with frequent mention of Lethal's frequent presence along side Lethal from these videos is evident as his turntables alongside him performing his performances being featured prominently within them and often featuring Lethal himself! influenced as shown within them making appearances alongside Fred Durs from in their video performances, giving musical videos as an integral part of the band performances as influences by hip hop culture too, adding another significant hip hop culture as being part of Lethal playing turntables within their music videos (or sometimes his turntable use within their videos too, alongside Lethal featuring in each band members such turntable use feature featured as Lethal as frequent inclusion featuring Lethal playing alongside him being included within them music videos himself featuring prominently alongside Lethal performing at least himself as turntables by Lethal and frequent inclusion of turntables featuring in videos which makes use of turntables) being featured regularly included presence himself performing! in many clips alongside Lethal himself making an influence, sometimes being included music.).

History

Limp Bizkit may have had many flaws (foul language, questionable fashion choices, clashing with female pop stars and the Woodstock '99 melee being just some), yet at one time they were the dominant force in Nu Metal music. Formed in Jacksonville Florida in 1994 by Fred Durst on vocals, Sam Rivers on bass, DJ Lethal on turntables and Wes Borland on guitar; their first album Three Dollar Bill Y'all became an instant hit while their subsequent effort Significant Other also was well received by fans.

Though their music may not have been my cup of tea, I did appreciate their live shows and songs. They did an outstanding job of getting their audiences involved while making excellent use of special effects - particularly Wes Borland's interesting outfits!

In 1999, the band made waves when their single "Nookie" became an overnight success and they became widely popular. Unfortunately, however, issues soon surfaced; radio stations received payola to play "Nookie", with some even repeating plays repeatedly.

By 2001, however, cracks had appeared within the band. Multiple members left during that year and Borland left because he grew weary of feuding with other bands.
