How they got their start
|
LB got their start, at a Korn concert. Fred and the guys were looking for a way to get backstage. So Fred came up with a plan. After the concert, Fred offered the band free tattoos. Jonathan Davis, Korn?s lead vocalist, decided it might be worth it. So he let Fred backstage. Fred gave Fieldy a poorly done tattoo. Fred said it quote "looked like Horn instead of Korn". After that, Fred slipped Jonathan a demo tape. After Fred had given it up, he got a call from an excited Jonathan, telling about how much he liked the demo tape. Jonathan later agreed to help Limp Bizkit learn the ropes of the music industry.
That, consequently, allowed them to release their debut album, named "Three Dollar Bill Yall". After that, Fred thanked Jonathan for his help, and Korn later helped the band Orgy get on it?s feet.
After releasing "Three Dollar Bill Yall", they sat and waited for a while, as the debut album did quite well in terms of sales. In ?98, LB signed on to the famous Family Values tour, with Korn, Ice Cube, Orgy, and others. After Family Values, Limp was able to finish their new album, named "Significant Other". Released June 22nd ?99, it went to the top immediately, becoming number one on the Billboard charts. Even the single "Nookie" was good. Life was good.
Unfortunately, the Backstreet Boys? album "Millennium" was taking over Billboard, and "Nookie" was getting old. Then, LB revitalized themselves, but making a video out of another very good song on Significant Other., called "Re-Arranged". A two-part video, the video ended with the milk-drowned band, floating in? well? something. Fred soon drops out, leaving for some unfinished business. N 2 Gether Now is going to be released later this month. What will they do next?

N 2 Gether Now
|
|
Any self-respecting Limp Bizkit fan knows that the next video from Limp Bizkit is going to be N 2 Gether Now. The video is supposed to be with Fred and Method Man, a rap-legend. Fred is playing video games, when Method Man shows up. They get into a friendly fight, where Fred described as a fight like in the Pink Panther, where Peter Sellers fights his servant of sorts(Cato). The video wasn?t elaborated on any more, but certainly something to look forward to.
