This is the offical "post and react to crazy shit Fred Durst says or does" thread

I mean, what? Is he going to SING? Like, have three pale befringed hipsters on synths and him at the front in a red baseball cap and baggy trousers?

I'd rather hear more about this. ;-)

I'll let you know if that ever happens.

Truth is stranger than fiction, John.

the really weird thing is how if you listen to MBV with the vacuum cleaner turned on it sounds like Perry Como

holy mackerel.

How many Kurt Cobain and Elvis TOGETHA tatoos are there in the world?

Nirvana or Good Charlotte?

*wakes up drenched in sweat*

It's on launch.com. It's probably the funniest thing I've seen all week. And btw, I think the song sucks so don't ask me to defend this as anything more than The Crazy Shit Fred Durst Says Or Does.

Big deal...Mike Tyson has Chairman Mao on his chest and some scifi looking thing on his face. You can't out weird that one.

C'mon, you know it was a sympathy kiss. For money, at that!

I'll let you know we agree on Tricky for the most part though. And I don't care if Ronan left anything under the tree cuz Cousin Fred's present will entertain me for days.

and I remember...when we were young...

So he's been photographed in the last few months in this, as well as a Sonic Youth "Daydream Nation" tee, and a Smiths "Hatful of Hollow" tee? Man alive.

Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'

This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

In arenas he kills for a prize,
Wins a minute to add to his life.
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more,
Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall.

This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

carlinglive.com: If Ben & Jerrys made an ice-cream called Limp Bizkit, what would it taste like?

Fred Durst: “It would taste like the sweetest pair of panties in the world. It would taste like sushi. Sushi or panties.”

VH1: A lot of artists have said that they've turned to music [in the face of 9/11] because they get some sense of relief from it. Have you been listening to any music? Have you written any new songs?

Durst: I listen to older music to inspire me. I'm not listening to anything like [Lee Greenwood's] "God Bless the U.S.A." or [Bruce Springsteen's] "Born in the U.S.A." I'm listening to more melancholy music that's sentimental, sad. The Cure, Bad Company, Frank Sinatra.

"It's probably gonna be some psychotic on acid Beastie Boys meets Pantera sh--. This is more heavy metal meets gut-wrenching torture, anti-pop. Very heavy, very Limp Bizkit."

"if i could only hide the feelings of disgust i feel when i feel them i think i would seem like a better person to the judgmental and stereotypical world looking in. when i hurt i hurt from the inside out and constantly run from it throughout the course of its destructive path. the thing i can always expect is the unexpectable. just when a comfort level of confidence comes along is when i could predict the unpredictable is around the corner. it's like my gut instinct is always talking to me louder than anything else and that is why i am always listening to it. regardless of the situations i've been put in because of my instinct i can sleep at night knowing i was listening to myself, even if it would have been wiser to listen to an outsider at the time. there is something to be said about those of us who are driven by something inside us yet beyond us. it's like a sixth sense that gets overlooked when when rationality and common sense take all the credit in our minds...

...also Napoleon Dynamite is a dope movie, check it out if you have the time to bug out"

From Rolling Stone (circa Significant Other):

RS: So, what did you do last night?

Fred: I was watching the Mike Tyson fight at Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s house. I know Goldie’s daughter Kate Hudson.

RS:Would that have happened before you became famous?

Fred: Fuck no. This kinda shit I get off on. I’m at parties with Jack Nicholson, Dana Carvey. I’m at places where they hang out - I’m on all the A lists. You get rock-star parking.

From Fred Durst's Interview With Tom Cruise on MTV.com:

Durst: How's the Penelope [Cruz] thing going?

Cruise: It's going good, man. It's cool. She's a cool lady.

Durst: Is she cool to snuggle with?

Cruise: [Laughs] Yes. She is man. She is a great snuggler. She is cool.

Durst: She is very cool.

Cruise: You met her?

Durst: Yeah, I met her with you.

Cruise: Yeah, she's nice.

Durst: Yeah, she's so nice and sweet.

Cruise: She's just really cool, really easy.

From Rollingstone.com

RS: What musicians have tried to hit on you, besides Fred Durst?

Avril: [Laughs] It doesn't happen a lot. [Backstage at a Metallica tribute] I mentioned to Fred that I was hungry -- like, "I want an In-N-Out burger." He had someone go out and get me a whole box of them, with fries. I was like [sarcastically], "Yeah!" Then he took a private jet out to one of my shows, expecting me to bang him. He was disappointed that I wouldn't even go near him [laughs]. He was a little pissed that I went to my room alone that night.

"certain musical notes in specific variations of sequences are a foundation for universal communication. instinct. an understanding beyond our mind's ability to formulate. it's fucking amazing to say the least. more powerful than any weapon ever created. music. damn."

From the Fred Durst episode of VH1's Driven (which I am so pissed that I've never seen):

Peter Katsis, manager: "Fred was asking, 'Why is it that most of my audience is young males? Why don't I have more young females?' "

Fantastic signed picture of Fred Durst mounted with Limp Bizkit CD Chocolate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavoured Water. The whole display has been professionally double mounted in black and comes in a stunning silver frame.

from Limp Bizkit's new single, "Almost Over":

Got treated like a clown as a little boy
kept my feet on the ground as a little boy
when you're living in a dream as a little boy
ain't nothin' like it seems as a little boy
I was hatin' on the world as a little boy
I was lovin' all the girls as a little boy
I was into punk rock as a little boy
I was breaking non-stop as a little boy
It's time to blow their minds....

(Leon, sign on to AIM if you could.)

sadly, I have seen neither this or Driven: Fred Durst. I read the article on MTV.com describing key scenes, but it's just not the same.

I did see a Limp Bizkit live special on MTV filmed in London (HAW HAW HAW nobody's throwing shit at him there! Brits are totally still limpin' for the bizkit).

Key Fred Stage Moves:

1) run around the stage as if you are jumping through tires. Knees HIGH.

2) during slow parts, sway idly while singing at and pointing to girls in the audience.

3) If you are feeling something, announce this observation and ask if the audience are having a similar experience. Suggest the making of noise.

4) during the loud parts, jump up and down while flapping your elbows so that you resemble a chicken on steroids.

Wow, that is sad. It was like an all week thing. Everything has been downhill since.

i have been in prague, and i am still here, putting vocals on the new album. the world has so many wonders to it. the czech people are a very interesting society. i do enjoy it. this album is dark musically already, but when mixed with the tone in the air of prague it becomes somewhat horrifying.

wes, ross, and myself have set up protools and a beta 57 microphone in an old apartment right near the charles bridge. this is where i am connecting with the darkness. some days are explosive others just plain heavy from the gothic aesthetic of this city in general. we have gone to the other side a few times with absinthe to discover the unknown. as it seems the unknown is quite demanding these days.

we have watched no television or listened to no radio. we walk everywhere we go on cobblestone streets. the beggers bow down, as if they were praying, and hold their hands out for money. much different than the states. the weather is very cold and unforgiving. the perfect call for where my head needed to be.

as for updates on this site or anywhere else, you know we are finishing our new album which we consider the best of limp bizkit. definitely the heaviest and most consistant in intention. so i can only emphasize that this needs room to grow its wings on its own and does not need to have its innocense and freedom taken away by every detail that could be provided along the way until it is ready to take off on its own. that time is very near. we have created a monster that cannot be kept down for long.

it's time to gather the troops. what do you think?

fred from prague

i believe that's robert smith on his chest.

wasn't it dave q. who suggested that the smiths/joy division/the cure/echo and the bunnymen et. al. were at least partly responsible for the likes of durst?

it's time fred - lead us into the unknown all of us are ready for this new step limpbizkit are about to take

Hey Fred,
You are an inspiration to people everywhere, even in Oklahoma(and I swear I'm not a steer or a queer)! Sounds like things are going good. I can't wait for the new album.

somebody better stop me burning on the bridge limpin on the track is the bizkit some better stop me or this beat l.im.p. b.i.z.k.i.t. freddy D halitosis is all you rockin steady but old school soldier am i has been get right where you fit in diggin in my culture.

Fred sure is awkward and needy. It all makes me feel sorry for Paris Hilton.

Libel and newspapers, Freudian.

And what manner of witless celebrity fool saves it for later leisure-time viewing?

Well you know that always works. I shoulda thought of that when my wife left me, only we didn't have digital cameras in phones and the Internet back then!

I think the whole "Paris gets hacked" thing is a ploy to sell more T-mobile Sidekicks.

If the aim is to attract lots of really stupid people, it's an excellent plan. Technology, the great leveler.

READY, AIIIIM....

No, it's an IQ test Paris and its owner flunked.

Sounds like a celebrity test: If you don't get so many phone calls that you have to change your number, you're slipping.

if there was a rallying of the limp believers would you participate under any circumstances and by all means necessary?

Simpson Slams Durst Fling Reports

Pop beauty Jessica Simpson has slammed "absolutely untrue" reports of her alleged dalliance with rock lothario Fred Durst in Las Vegas last weekend. Local Nevada newspaper Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Norm Clarke claimed Simpson and the Limp Bizkit frontman "were all over each other" at the Hard Rock Hotel, with the singer's husband Nick Lachey nowhere in sight. Simpson's spokesman says, "Jessica and Fred Durst have mutual friends and were both at the event. The rest is absolutely untrue." The Newlyweds: Nick And Jessica reality TV couple recently purchased a $1 million condominium in Sin City.

I'm fucking doomed.

Confirmed: Durst has friends.

Limp Bizkit star Fred Durst downs baby drinks to get rid of a hangover.
The hardman rocker swears by the juice for toddlers, called Pedialyte, as a quick pick-me-up after a heavy night of drinking.
British presenter Vernon Kay said the musician introduced him to the miracle cure on a recent trip to Miami - and was amazed by the results.
He revealed: "I met Fred Durst in Miami and he told me about this baby drink called Pedialyte.
I swear to God, half an hour later you feel as right as rain."
Fred's favourite flavour is blackcurrant. Mine is apple.

Ha, "hardman rocker".

If Fred and Vernon Kaye were hanging out, does this mean Limp Bizkit are going to be on "Hit Me Baby One More Time"? What song would you want to hear them cover?

It would help, it's for babies that are dehydrated from diarrhoea. A hangover is partly dehydration because alcohol causes you to urinate more. Those sportswater drinks will have a similar effect though, or water with some glucose in. Wow, Im glad my physiology paper I took this year paid off, now I can post replies in a Fred Durst thread.

Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst has been given a suspended 120-day jail sentence after he allegedly hit two people with his car on purpose.

Durst, 37, pleaded no contest to seven charges, including assault, battery and reckless driving, at a court hearing in Los Angeles last month.

He was also ordered to perform 20 hours of community service and fined $1,500 (£750), according to court documents.

The incident took place in Los Angeles during October last year.

Restraining order

Misdemeanour charges filed in January included two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, three counts of battery, one count of making a criminal threat and one count of reckless driving.

Durst, who entered the no contest plea on 16 August, was slapped with a restraining order saying he cannot "annoy, harass, strike, threaten or otherwise disturb the peace" of the two victims, whose names were not disclosed.

The singer was told he must stay at least 100 yards away from the victims and that he cannot possess a firearm.

A telephone message left after office hours on Friday with The Firm, the Beverly Hills representatives for Durst and Limp Bizkit, was not immediately returned, the Associated Press news agency said.

Ah, but he's so hardkore, he PICKED UP HIS CAR AND HIT 2 PEOPLE WITH IT LIKE A SMALL CUSHION!!

holy shit he is old

A trucker hat and a beard? Does he want to join Grandaddy? (thank god they've stopped, in that case)

he is preparing his acid folk album as we speak

The IMDB user comment on his indie movie is totally unbiased, especially the part about how "The actors and crew acquired a great respect for Fred's hard work on this film." Did he write this?
http://www.imdb.com/user/ur15292434/comments

the I Melt With You video is flat-out great. Funny, charming and sweet.

I can't get over the ridiculous english accent - 'gatting bettah ol the tyme'

yeah I have to say his "Melt With You" video is pretty awesome. makes me think he might really be a talented filmmaker after all.

"I thought one day that a...I'm gonna be a filmmaker, man! I wanna make films! I'm wanna be like Hal Ashy and Woody Allen, and Stanley Kubrick and you know, Cronenberg. I wanna be one of these guys and I think I have my own voice for that, and then all of a sudden...I put together a band so I can direct music videos, and you know, get a break like Fincher had and do my thing and all of a sudden the band starts TAKING OFF..."

oh, and he says "Hal Ashby" that's my typo not his.

Well worth watching until about 12:30 minutes in where Durst stands up to show off a tattoo, sits down and zones out, then stands up five seconds later to show off the tattoo again.

Nice shirt, Fred.

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/06/18/fred-durst-limp-bizkit-was-used-as-fuel-to-torture-other-people/

Before Limp Bizkit emerged from a four-year hiatus with a series of shows last month in Europe, Fred Durst had to get over his hatred of a segment of his own fanbase. “I got abused a lot growing up,” Durst tells Rolling Stone. “For years I looked into the crowd and saw a bunch of bullies and assholes who tortured me and ruined my life. They were using my music as fuel to torture other people, even dressing like me. The music was being misinterpreted and the irony effected me and we stepped away.”

According to Durst, he endured childhood ridicule over his taste in music. “I loved the Cure and Bauhaus and the Smiths,” he says. “The people in my town weren’t privy to that kind of music and I got abused. I discovered the microphone to get out some of that angst.” Durst put down the microphone in 2005 and directed two feature films, before reuniting with guitarist Wes Borland and the rest of Limp Bizkit earlier this year. “I realized after years and years that I can’t take all of that on my shoulders,” he says. “I can just hope for the best and hope that my music finds its way to the people that I’m trying to connect with. There’s some people who are not understanding what Limp Bizkit is about. But, then again, who am I to tell people what they can use art for or how they can interpret it?”

Even though Durst is hoping his music won’t connect with bullies, Limp Bizkit are playing their first American show with guitarist Wes Borland in eight years at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event July 10th in Las Vegas. “I’ve just always liked watching people who are very skilled in all different types of fighting, going to engage with a little less boundaries,” says Durst. “These fights are put together in an organized way. I wouldn’t support Limp Bizkit being on some snuff backyard brawling, fighting contest.” The Vegas show is a one-off, but Durst promises the band is thinking about a U.S. tour, which won’t happen until they’re done prepping a new album they hope to release in the fall.

“The style is not going to disappoint any true, hardcore Limp Bizkit fans,” Durst says. “But it also isn’t going to alienate anyone that else who is going to discover Limp Bizkit for the first time. It’s kinda going to change the game a little bit, but still stay Limp Bizkit — if that makes any sense.”

Even as he crafts a new Bizkit album, Durst says that rap/rock isn’t very close to his heart. “I don’t even listen to any type of music that’s like Limp Bizkit at all,” he says. “I love jazz music and sad music. I’m a sentimental guy. I’m a romantic guy. I’m 38 years old and Limp Bizkit is just something I do. If I was a painter, it would just be a type of painting I make. Some people love it, and its offends a lot of people too.”
Andy Greene

TS: jazz music vs. sad music.

I like the thought of him just sippin wine listening to Bohren And Der Club Of Gore.

He hates a section of his fans as they are bullies then is playing at a UFC fight lol. Maybe the crowd will kick his arse there.

UFC is trained bullies tho. Totally different thing.

And the fans? They get trained by bullies?
