Request A Show7-Eleven announced a hot dog-flavored sparkling water in collaboration with Miracle Seltzer. While the article's title mentions Nu-Metal's takeover, the content directly refers to a product collaboration which does not involve Limp Bizkit as a direct partner.
Limp Bizkit released a new song, “Making Love to Morgan Wallen,” as part of the soundtrack for the upcoming 'Battlefield 6' video game. The band also contributed “Battlefield: The After-party,” a reimagining of the traditional Battlefield theme, and their 2000 single “Break Stuff” was used in the game’s trailer.
Limp Bizkit's 2000 tour was sponsored by the file-sharing service Napster. The band performed free shows with a metal cage separating them from the audience, and Fred Durst was a vocal advocate for file sharing.
Fred Durst held a nationwide audition called 'Put Your Guitar Where Your Mouth Is' to replace Wes Borland. Mike Henderson, an auditioning guitarist, revealed that the event was a publicity stunt intended to sell Guitar Center products, with no real intention of recruiting a new guitarist.
Fred Durst was featured in the song 'Champions' by Kevin Rudolf, which served as a theme for WWE's Night of Champions in 2012. This marked their first collaboration with WWE since 2003. Limp Bizkit famously provided the track 'My Way' for the WrestleMania 17 music video, and performed their song 'Crack Addict' during The Undertaker's entrance at Wrestlemania 19.
Formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1994, Limp Bizkit quickly rose to prominence within the underground music scene, drawing considerable attention for their distinct fusion of hip hop, punk rock, and heavy metal elements. The band’s initial lineup featured vocalist Fred Durst, drummer John Otto, guitarist Wes Borland, and bassist Sam Rivers. Durst actively marketed the band, building a local following that led to opening slots for established acts like Korn. This early exposure helped them develop a reputation for energetic and theatrical live shows, often characterized by Borland’s elaborate visual appearances and DJ Lethal’s innovative turntable techniques, which significantly shaped their sound after he joined the band.
Limp Bizkit secured a record deal with Flip Records, leading to the release of their debut album, “Three Dollar Bill, Y’all” in 1997. Despite a modest initial response, consistent touring and a controversial pay-for-play radio campaign for their cover of George Michael’s “Faith” garnered wider recognition. Their subsequent album, “Significant Other” (1999), marked a major commercial breakthrough, reaching number one on the Billboard 200 and selling over 640,000 copies in its first week. This period was also notable for their performance at Woodstock ’99, which stirred controversy but further cemented their mainstream presence. This was followed by “Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water” (2000), which broke sales records, selling over one million copies in its first week and becoming the fastest-selling rock album at the time. The band continued to evolve, navigating lineup changes, including the departure and return of Wes Borland, and releasing albums such as “Results May Vary” (2003), “The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1)” (2005), “Gold Cobra” (2011), and “Still Sucks” (2021). Throughout their career, Limp Bizkit has sold 40 million records worldwide and received numerous awards and nominations, including three Grammy Award nominations.
