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.

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?

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'

the man has a way with words

at 1:55

"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..."

woops, the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8IFeYCACb4

I suspect revisionism

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

Fred Durst says "Hal Ashby"

"Don't you understand, man? This is KORN with a 'K'"

When did Tom Green start looking like Mike Nesmith?

fred durst used to be so cute

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.

There's a great picture of him in a Sonic Youth tee someplace but I can't find it right now...

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?
