LIMP BIZKIT Frontman 'Self-Destructs' At Chicago Gig, Band Quits Playing After 20 Minutes - July 28, 2003

Anders Smith Lindall of Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that heckling fans induced a profane tantrum from LIMP BIZKIT frontman Fred Durst during the group's Summer Sanitarium Tour appearance at Hawthorne Racetrack Saturday (July 26), and the band quit playing after just 20 minutes.

"It was easy to predict a rough reception for the rap-rock has-beens when a significant segment of the crowd booed a mention of the band by previous openers LINKIN PARK," he wrote. "When LIMP BIZKIT actually appeared around 7 o'clock, the boos intensified, and some fans pelted the stage with garbage.

"The famously brainless Durst only fanned the flames, first encouraging the catcalls and flying trash, then swerving into a bizarre tirade against the crowd and city. Ranting that he'd fight anyone in earshot and spluttering explicit sexual putdowns, uncreative curses and ludicrous homophobic slurs, Durst simply self-destructed. Had the villain in 'The Wizard of Oz' been a vile little boob like Durst rather than a snarly old lady in greenface, the movie's 'I'm melting!' scene might have looked like this.

"The crowd, perhaps stunned, calmed down, and LIMP BIZKIT played a few more songs (including a sarcastic, gay-bashing cover of George Michael's 'Faith' with potty-mouth lyrics that would embarrass a fourth-grader). But then the band left the stage and Durst resumed his vulgar invective from the wings until, mercifully, he was relieved of the microphone.

"The aborted set left fans to wait more than 90 minutes for METALLICA, but the mood never turned ugly — maybe because a lengthy delay was better than suffering through any more LIMP BIZKIT."

Wow, that's hilarious!

The worst I had seen was Jason Newstead taking a hissy fit after a water bottle hit him in the arm. He continued to play the set from the side stage.

Fagabeefe · 07-28-2003, 11:02 AM

Worst I had ever seen was about 12 years ago at a Vixen/White Lion/Ozzy show at the (then) Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Someone threw M-80's AT WHite Lion, almost blew up the singer.

SERIOUSLY not cool.

Although, I DID see Nuno Bettancourt appear to slap Pat Badger in the face at an Extreme show at the Beacon Theater in NYC.

I don't know if he connected, or if it was scripted, or what, but they went NOWHERE near each other the rest of the show.

numberfive · 07-28-2003, 12:34 PM

Damn, I wish I could've hit him in the sac with a lemon :\

WhoaitsZ · 07-28-2003, 12:47 PM

damnit, you beat me to posting this.

i feel bad for LP heh

Spektr · 07-28-2003, 01:39 PM

See? I always knew that there are two things that stupid people should never do:

a) never breed

b) be given a microphone

aedenji · 07-28-2003, 07:24 PM

Thats too fucking funny. I hate Limp weiner Bizkit

SiphonX · 07-28-2003, 07:35 PM

yeah, Durst is an idiot. he has his millions, now leave us in peace and take that garbage you call music elsewhere. i was fond of 3 dollar bill ya'll, but then quickly grew out of it. so many other good bands out there, no need to waste time listening to LB.

holtmate · 07-28-2003, 09:29 PM

I hate to admit it, but I enjoyed their first three albums, although I will probably never pay to see them because I can't stand Fred Durst at all...

Speed_Gibson · 07-28-2003, 10:34 PM

that is hilarious; have only heard their songs that received radio play and had no desire to buy the albums based on those.

YourNeverThere · 07-29-2003, 03:12 AM

oh goodness i hate them. Bones if you were really there than i am soooo jelous, and i cant spell. Man i would have loved to see that, that story really makes my faith in humanity get a little bit stronger

KWSN · 07-29-2003, 06:45 AM

I listened to the first and second albums for a little while but I grew out of it quickly. I just got tired of Fred's voice, and even moreso, Fred's ego. I began to realize that every song was pretty much the same as all the others... either that or highly unoriginal. And like I said, Fred's "I'm cool because I'm a drunken frat boy" attitude just really turned me off to their music. After that second album, it just went downhill... every song they released after it I just can't listen to. All they do is refer to themselves as a band in the third person and say "fuck" a lot. It's old.

However, I still agree that the first album has some moments that I can still listen to.

90degree · 07-29-2003, 08:44 AM

hey bones... i for one never liked that rap/rock crap.. I only cared for the first RATM disc.. that was about the extent of it... perhaps the younger generation liked limp bizkit... but I for one .. never did. I also cannot stand LP.. sooooooooo.. go figure.

ReggErving · 07-29-2003, 09:12 AM

I went to a concert in Peoria, AZ and Cake wlaked off stage like of bunch of jackasses because someone threw their shoe onstage. I;m not a big Sugar Ray fan but hey came on and blew it up. Fred Durst is a whiny pussy, he couldn't beat anyones ass, it would have to be his bodyguards.

Sleepyjack · 07-29-2003, 09:42 AM

cool, that pretty funny.

i saw an interesting documaentary aout popular music, and limp bizkit where featured. It showed how producers played radio stations to constantly play limp bizkits tunes in order to make them popular by "conditioning" the average mainstream listners.
i don't really care for limp bizkit, never did and never will.

KWSN · 07-29-2003, 10:18 AM

Oh, and by the way, as soon as people start throwing shit, as long as the band isn't asking for it, they should have every right to leave the stage if you ask me. If the fans are going to do that shit, they don't deserve to hear any music. Period.

Durst, however, asked for it this time.

Sleepyjack · 07-29-2003, 10:24 AM

also agree with KWSN, fans should respect the performers/artists.

RAMONES!!! · 07-29-2003, 11:41 AM

i liked Limp Bizkit, dont anymore....i bought there albulms, until i listened to them 3 times all the way through, relized that all they sing about is themsleves, and I for one hate crappy lyrics....so now after they got my Business i can saw that i hate them

rockzilla · 07-29-2003, 01:38 PM

I'd like to see limpbizkit go on tour with Oasis and Creed. Imagine a show where all three sets last a total of 15 minutes.

frankenal · 07-30-2003, 04:02 PM

hey that is funny? one of the best tantruns ive ever seen though was maralin manson at the big day out in 1999. people were throwing stuff on stage and manson said 'u cant hit me' almost straight away some got him right between the eyes! he tried to beat the guy up but failed

GuttersnipeXL · 07-31-2003, 08:28 PM

That's a rock star for ya...every body here is talking about it...I hadn't even thought about those guys for the last half a year. Bad publicity is good publicity.

sadatx · 07-31-2003, 11:00 PM

That's great. I think he's beginning to self destruct.

I'll admit they had some catchy songs, but I always thought they were overhyped and I ALWAYS thought he was a dick.
