Biography by Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst was born December 4, 1970 in Jacksonville, FL and raised in Gastonia, NC. After high school he served a stint in the U.S. Navy before returning to Jacksonville at age 20 to pursue a career as a tattoo artist. In late 1994 Durst co-founded the rap-metal band Limp Bizkit with bassist Sam Rivers; championed by their friends in Korn, word of mouth publicity helped land the group a spot on tour with House of Pain and the Deftones, and following an intense bidding war, Limp Bizkit signed with Flip/Interscope to issue their debut album Three Dollar Bill Y'All in 1997. Thanks to a hit cover of George Michael's "Faith," the record steadily rose up the charts, and the band also appeared on 1998's inaugural Family Values tour; the buzz helped Limp Bizkit's second album, Significant Other, debut at number one in mid-1999.

I really don't think K-Fed will be lucky enough to put out more than one album like Fred Durst did. But I agree that he has no talent and has already become the butt of many jokes.
His style was cool, but now he is lame. The problem was that he was a fad. A star that burnt out. But hey, he's still rich and he can still, as you say, bang any girl he wants, so who's complaining?
Fred Durst's nickname is Fred
