The Bizkit
Limp Bizkit burst onto the scene with a new brand of alternative and forged a fresh genre of music with a distinct taste of metal with hip hop overtones.
Fred Durst brought the attitude and vocals. Wes Borland a unique approach to guitar playing and an offbeat sense of style. Sam Rivers and John Otto were unbelievably tight with a vicious backbeat. And DJ Lethal added the Turntable to the arsenal and audio onslaught.
Their career rose rapidly when they first burst onto the scene at the very end of the 90's. Since then it hasn't so much waned but fluctuated with the on-again off-again relationship with guitarist Wes Borland.
