Band History
Limp Bizkit began in late 1994, when vocalist Fred Durst hooked up with his long time friend and bass-player, Sam Rivers, who in turn recommended bringing in his cousin, John Otto, into the band. Before long guitarist Wes Borland joined and Limp Bizkit was born.
Their first break came when a band by the name of KoRn played their first gig in the Jacksonville area. After the show, KoRn's bassist Fieldy and guitarist Head met up with Fred and went back to his place to get a few tattoos (Fred is not only an amazing singer, he is also an accomplished tattoo artist). An instant bond of friendship was struck between them and the next time KoRn came back to Jacksonville, they hooked up with Fred again. This time Fieldy and Head heard the Limp Bizkit demo and were immediately impressed with the bands powerful sound. So they promised to pass the tape along to their producer Ross Robinson. They did, and Ross loved it! The buzz on the band began to intensify twofold, and as a result, Limp Bizkit landed a tour with House Of Pain and another with the Deftones. Offers from record labels started pouring in. After carefully considering all of the deals, Limp Bizkit chose to sign up with Flip Records.
