EDIT: APPARENTLY LIMP BIZKIT IS NOT OVER.. REFER TO POST 18

http://www.nme.com/news/limp-bizkit/65573

Fred Durst has admitted that Limp Bizkit are "over".

In May of this year, the frontman revealled that they had been working on two projects since signing to Lil Wayne's Cash Money label: a studio album titled 'Stampede Of The Disco Elephants', and a follow-up to their 2005 EP 'The Unquestionable Truth Part 1'.

According to Metal Injection, however, the singer has said that although the band are not splitting up, their popularity has waned as a lot of their former fans "have moved on".

Speaking about the current status of the band, he said: "We don't play back home. We've boycotted America for many years now. I don't know, I just don't wanna go out like that. We did a few radio shows in 2010 for a friend and that was it. We haven't properly toured America since 2006.

"The reason? We just don’t know what's going on in America," he added. "It's all about the new catchy thing and that's always changing. America is driven by record sales. It's the home of corporations. We're just Limp Bizkit, so we don't know how to do anything but Limp Bizkit."

He went on to say:

But here's the deal: say in 2000, there were 35 million people who connected to this band. Twelve years later, lots of those people have moved on. We were a moment in time and it's over.​

Last December, Limp Bizkit said goodbye to their old record label, Interscope, following poor album sales from their last LP 'Gold Cobra'. In April of this year, meanwhile, it was reported that Durst wanted to axe band members John Otto and DJ Lethal from the group.

RIP Limp Bizkit

[Dude Abides]

Let them remember that when we did it, we did it all for the nookie.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I see that Limp Bizkit warrants the usage of the shift or caps lock key.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I guess it was just all up to Fred Durst and not the rest of the band?

I guess it really is his way, his way or the highway.

 

[Learn2read]

The day the music died.

 

[Sanky Panky]

Pfff yeah what are you gonna say next? that some Y2K bug will supposedly destroy all the nations' computers?

 

[blame space]

i think gold cobra is a good single. i'm going to listen to the whole album.

[The Mana Legend]

I like how they quit the band based off from poor sales of an LP. WHO THE HELL BUYS LPS?!

And apparently their last music video has nearly 10 million views on Youtube in just over a year.

10 million views is deemed unpopular to these guys?

 

[blame space]

oh shit

 

[ShaneDude]

Who in their right mind can say they connected with Limp Bizkit?

 

[user8503492]

Never really liked them (Tho I kinda enjoyed 3 dollar bill)

But the band died when Wes left really.

 

[BlackGhost]

Waiting for it to be Facebook official

 

[Ryaaan14]

First two albums were great, fuck the haters.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Thank god.

Also, boycotting America? The hell?

 

[Tashi]

First two albums were great, fuck the haters.

The first album I believe was the first I ever bought on my own and I fuckin loved it. It was great.

 

[Radec]

I enjoyed some of their tracks from their almbum when I was in highschool. Chocolate Starfish I think.

With Wes? Because Wes is important.

 

[Nivert]

Wes is still in the band, yes.

 

[Ronin]

Gold Cobra is actually a really fun album. No joke.

[agrajag]

At least he's smart enough to acknowledge how flash in the pan his band's success was. Gotta give him credit for that.

 

[Ryaaan14]

The first album I believe was the first I ever bought on my own and I fuckin loved it. It was great.

Stuck, Counterfeit, Pollution, Sour, and Stalemate were fantastic. Faith was kinda meh though and unfortunately that's what people associate that album with.

 

[Wendel Clark]

thumbs up if it's just one of those days

 

[marrec]

Never really liked them (Tho I kinda enjoyed 3 dollar bill)

That's because Wes was the only musician in the group.

 

[dorkimoe]

i was a little upset. They are still a guilty pleasure. My way is still one of my favorites. Also "back porch" which was a bonus track through bestbuy or itunes or something was the best song they had off their new stuff and it wasnt even on the cd!

 

[user8503492]

Wes is still in the band, yes.

I think the time without Wes is what killed them, those albums without Wes sealed thier fate.

I think he was the one who made the music right?

Then they did that stupid shit where they had an MTV contest or some shit to recruit a new guitarist right? Far to cheesy and killed thier credibility.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

That's because Wes was the only musician in the group.

Isn't he currently in the band?

 

[marrec]

Isn't he currently in the band?

Is he? Poor guy.

But no really, he was a very good musician.

It kind of is when the big stars have upwards 50 million views.

 

[NintendoGal]

Well if those stories I read about where Fred Durst stole song/music ideas from folks are true, good riddance.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Is he? Poor guy.

But no really, he was a very good musician.

lol saw your edit and was like wut

 

[Aesius]

Fred Durst is old, fat, and bald now.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Isn't he currently in the band?

He came back. I stopped paying attention when Wes left and never got around to listening again after he returned. I think his departure sank them.

Edit:

Fred Durst is old, fat, and bald now.

He was always bald.

 

[Verelios]

Now I know why you wanna hate me =(

Sad day for Limp.

 

[spiderman123]

It was still alive?!

 

[marrec]

lol saw your edit and was like wut

He does lots of stuff!

 

[To Far Away Times]

I was one of those 35 million back in the day.

It was... uh... a different era back then.

 

[Ken Masters]

that My Way track "my way or the highway" was insanely catchy

I was one of those 35 million back in the day.

Don't be ashamed, Three Dollar Bill fooled a lot of people.
