I was Fred's (and Wes's) bus driver 10-12 years ago. I was nervous because of Fred's Reputation of being an A-hole. He turned out to be one of the nicest people I've ever worked for (Wes was cool too).
pretty cool conversation and I'd love to see more I do find it annoying how Fred asks questions then constantly interrupts Bill responses Bill is unable to finish a single sentence but does a good job of not getting frustrated by it
Fred, I am 50 and loving the resurgence of Limp Bizkit. Dad Vibes! 🤘Some of my best memories are seeing Korn and Limp Bizkit on the Family Values tour. Bill, thanks for another great interview.
Well, he’s also one of the few guests that eventually succumbed to partaking in the “clove cigarette” adventure… this episode had me laughing possibly THEE MOST out of all the fantastic guests B. Maher has hung out w/in C.R.! 👍🏼👍🏼🤪😂
The thing I'm most impressed by is Fred smoothly changing subjects to take Bill in a different direction several times when things started getting awkward or tense. He said it's his first podcast but he handled it like a pro, clearly skilled in reading the room.
Bill Mahar puts out so much sitting forward negative energy which Fred sits back and positively reflects so well. Fred is giving a lesson here on body language and how to handle social situations like a Champ.
I think it's more complicated than you've described it. Bill is that smart kid who makes great points and is good at speaking, but is a bit too full of himself (or is looking down at other people? I can't quite tell) so he oftentimes becomes "too much" and sometimes even crosses the line to arrogance. I still like to listen to him sometimes, because - as I mentioned - he makes some interesting points. Negativity is often a burden that comes with understanding a lot of the world's workings. I'm sure that sucks for him too. Of course it doesn't justify the arrogance, but if the other option is not being able to hear out his opinions and ideas...
Fred before getting stoned: “I don’t get out much” Fred after getting stoned: “Did you know there is a vacuum in space?”😂 I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Keep it up Bill!
I think every member is underrated. I recently started listening to them again, I'm 33 and listened to them when i was young. I always knew how good they were but man, each member is like an essential ingredient that comes together like an awesome cake. John Otto has some sick beats, Sam Rivers is one of the best bassists ive seen, Dj Lethal has some sick additions, Fred has a uniquely great voice and lyricist, and then there's Wes who is also one of the best guitarists out there.
He’s definitely challenging to cover. LB is one of the best live shows I’ve seen and I’ve been going to Ozzfest since 2000. Marilyn Manson was also surprisingly incredible live.
Fred is a master troller - to the point it's difficult to tell if he's being sarcastic or not He's also extremely good at shifting the subject / pushing back the question to the interview if he's not comfortable answering the question. It get's a little annoying about 40 minutes into the interview but fair play to him for not being drawn re: a question he doesn't want to answer.
These days no matter HOW original and fresh you were and are? You're copying someone. Everyone here wrote that Fred was copying some movie/movie character. Then someone else chimed in so-and-so from The Lighthouse. Fred struck a nervous.
I love Fred and Limp Bizkit... at 14 years old I seen them live, bought a jacket at the concert and wore it to school for the next two years... the significant other logo. People mocked me but I didn't care. I was all in on them and Nu-metal music.
I've been a fan of Limp Bizkit and Fred since 1999 when I was 12 years old. Now I'm 35 and I still listen to them regularly and still love them. Fred is a legend and this conversation was awesome. Thanks Bill 🤘
Same. 12 in '99, 35 now in '23. Limp Bizkit was the soundtrack to my life back then, and I still play their music. LB ruled the planet back then, you had to be there to understand.
Yeah I became a fan around 2000 or 2001 when I was about the same age 11 or 12... and same thing. Nearly 34 now and still regularly play their music. It's wild lol
Same. I love Limp Bizkit and I love how that seems to annoy people. Especially metal elitest and gatekeepers. Wear a Limp Bizkit shirt. Metal gatekeepers won't bother you with asking you to name 3 of their songs. They will leave you alone because their smug self will look down on you. Lol jackasses

Never seen Maher squirm and be cut off this much during one of these podcasts. Love how off the wall Fred Durst was and how much he pushed him out of his comfort zone.
Maybe, but if you were Fred Durst, or anyone else who didn't like Maher, wouldn't you have better things to do than sit with a man an hour you didn't much like?
That makes me so happy that his band is having a resurgence and is being appreciated still. I LOVED LB so much back in their hay day… straight up raw anger and emotions in that first album and the 2nd one too.
@Pike bishop maher is a mixed bag for me. He is to me a hyper logical centrist AND a man who has dedicated himself to a lifestyle of solo hedonism (without destroying himself which is a temptation) but time stops for no man and in many ways I think he is questioning if he was right (but choosing to double down since fear seems to be powerful force in his life).
@@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup I'm reading a lot of comments on Bill's way of life, but to this day, this is the most relevant. Every time he's saying to the whole world, he's happy, I didn't completely buy it. When you are saying, he is double down, spot on but I wouldn't guessed by myself,i was a politically incorrect and real time addict until 10 years ago, but I focused on the topic, not maher. I have empathy for his loneliness, but Bill is difficult to relate to. Anyway great vantage point.
I used to share a band space with Fred in Jacksonville way back in the day just before Limp Biskit. It was an office space that let bands practice there to keep people from breaking in the place at night. He used to have a band called 10 foot shindig then. He and I used to hang out and listen to each other practice with my band Curse Icon. He was always super cool to me. We had a blast back then playing parties and sh*t clubs together. I remember one time we walked into a club that didn't have anything together for their and our band and Fred's band picked up everything, went to another club and asked if we could play and had an impromptu show there. So much fun.
Fred will probably never read this - but I'll never forget him singing Pink Floyds "Wish You Were Here" after 9/11 happened and they were holding a benefit concert..He earned my respect that day with that performance..it was brilliant and Pink Floyd is my favorite band. Good shit Fred!
In the late 90’s I meet Fred Durst hear in Milwaukee several times. First time was when I snuck into the Warped tour early... like 9am and just starting helping people set up the venue. Fred walked up behind me ( I saw LB open for Korn so I was already a big fan) and I confessed I had snuck in. He said “well your in now” he hung with me for a little while then he slowly got back to his work. For the next couple of years I would sneak in early, or meet them when their bus would arrive in town. One time I gave Fred, Sam, and John I ride from one venue over to another venue in Milwaukee ( from Modjeska theatre to the rave) to go and confront the guys in coal chamber (who were opening for machine head at the rave bar) on our way to the coal chamber bud we bumped into Blink 182 who were still touring in a white econoline van. After that we got Fred and crew back to the modjeska for their show where Fred had put me and my friends on the “guest list”. When I went to get into the venue I had Logan from Machine head next to me who wasn’t on the guest list and couldn’t get in. I went in, stopped Fred after a song and said “Logan from Machine head is out front he can’t get in. Fred called him in on the mic!!! Hahaha so awesome. Later that night all the guys from LB came back to the rave to watch Machine head play. It was fuxking awesome!!!! Over the years I had gotten to see them once or twice more but they played bigger venues so it was hard to “sneak in” and hang with them. Anyways thanks Fred, that was a really cool thing to experience as a 19 year old fan back then. Glad you’re doing well, the new music is great. If you ever come to Milwaukee again I’ll try to sneak in and say hi hahahaha 🤙🤙🤙 oh and all the guys in LB signed the backs of the seats in my car. Fred wrote “Fred smells like yeast” as he had wondered what the smell was coming from the breweries. Dj lethal tagged his name with an anarchy A. So many people would ask to see my seats. Hahahaha
@@GodIsInTheTv You take Durst out of the equation and you got an objectively great, very talented and original band. LP was safe Pop Metal whatever way you slice it. Great for people getting into heavier stuff if thats their first exposure but if you were already onto heavier pastures- its basically radio rock. LB at least had riffs.
I cannot believe that’s Fred durst now He’s totally mature and settled into midlife and is totally content with himself and not impressed by his career . Shocked ! He was huge for a while .
Dude genuinely seemed more proud of flipping 14 houses than Limp Bizkit. I’d listen to a daily podcast from Fred Durst. What an amazing and surprising episode this was
I never stopped limping with the bizkit. I remember back when "Significant Other" came out, and I was the first kid in school with a cd burner. I would sell them for $3 each or give you a free one if you let me borrow a cd to copy. "Significant Other" was one of my biggest sellers.
Got to meet Fred back in ‘00. Absolutely one of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with in entertainment. And I still listen to his band (38 years old now) as much as I did then.
Gotta say... I listened to Limp Bizkit a lot when I was younger and still listen to them. I actually never watched an interview of Fred Durst. It is not what I expected at all and I love it. Great episode!
This was one of my favorite episodes. I never knew much about Fred but have to say he is one cool person, down to earth and just a person I could sit and drink with and laugh my sides off. Cheers
Dang you can really tell (multiple times) Fred really looks up to Bill. It was also neat to see him genuinely trying to pick his brain. Wouldnt have assumed it but this was definitely one of my favorite recent podcasts. Cheers Bill & Fred
As a 23 year old just getting into Limp Bizkit and Fred Durst, seeing everyone think he was supposed to be a big dummy all this time is kinda shocking to me. His music was and is brilliant. Really goes to show how current culture (of the time) influences the way people view others. Big respect to Fred!
I just watched it for the first time a few nights ago and, yeah, its up there with one of the best live performances I've ever seen. fred's got such a unique voice and presence on stage. during break stuff, during the bridge where he's going, "I'll skin your ass raw..." when he hits the high note in, "rAAAAw," it sounds sooooooo crazy. they're headlining a night at welcome to rockville in daytona beach, fl next May... thinking I'm gonna have to go.
@hamilt55467 Seems everyone has a different opinion. I saw them a few years ago in a small venue. We had to stand outside for almost 2 hours waiting to get in because the venue had some issue. Fred came out from his bus and was hanging out in the line, talking to fans, taking pictures, bringing water to us (it was august so it was about 95 degrees at 8pm). He also acknowledges he was an asshole when LB first got huge.
I grew up listening to Limp Bizkit and since I met them musically when I was barely 13 years old I haven't stopped listening to them, I treasure many memories with each song. Now almost 39 years old, I'm collecting memories for the future with my young son (it's crazy to see him shake his head when he's almost two when he hears Limp Bizkit) Thank you for so many years of great music: Fred, Wes, Sam, John and Lethal.
Yea, i think Fred would be perfect for a good 3hr Joe Rogan podcast as clearly Fred isn't just music orientated and has a good head on his shoulders about the world around us
Man that must have been a great time. I like significant other and chocolate starfish, but the first album is still unmatched and very different.. very raw ...
Great interview! Fred comes across as such a humble guy! Saw him in London last weekend at the ripe age of 38! loved it! John Lennon's childhood house was up the road from me in Liverpool. Very affluent area
Fred I am 56. And watch u videos u rock I rock right along u have a timeless energy!!!! I am invested in music and open minded reality !!!! You are that guy rock on ... and Bill u are bad ass ...hence the connection flows w this interview u have made my year guys!!!!!
I was born in 92 and have blasted Limp Bizkit since first hearing them as a kid they will never get old thank you Fred your words have been fucking amazing love you guys ❤
Fred and Wes are a couple of my teenage heros. Without them, my teenage angst would have had no outlet. Who knows where I would've ended up. Thanks Fred.
Billy, you are a boy, not even close to a man. You buy your friends and "lovers". Don't you get it? You need to love and have compassion to truly live. Smoke all the dope you want, chase your pushy fix with your money. Good luck. We all die alone, but you are more alone than I can comprehend, by your own choice. Very sad. Just one human opinion. Peace bro.
Fred hasn’t done a lot of press in years, and it’s so great seeing the real him. I’m a lifelong fan of LB and they were my first concert back with Family Values. If you really listen to the lyrics of the songs and pay attention to Fred’s cinematography in his Music Videos, you can see the real man behind the red hat. Great episode Fred ❤
People talk mad about Fred and Limp Bizkit but the band is successful for a reason (extremely catchy lyrics and sometimes smart within it) and plus Wes Borland is an amazing guitarist. I’ve always loved these guys. Fred is the man.
Successful doesn't equal good. They are a terrible terrible band. Wes Borland isn't a very good guitar player and that makeup he wears is stupid as f&ck.
I will always love Limp. They never took themselves too seriously. They never expected anyone else to either. It just fun feel good music that you memorize the words to. Ive been watching a lot of Limps recent tour videos. They might be making a come back
Fred is way cooler than my adolescent mind imagined. im 36 and never stopped jamming the first 4 albums and the latest was impressive. Dig Wes side project with his wife…………….if only we couuld flyyy
Was never a fan of Limp Bizkit and by extension of that, Fred Durst. But I watched this whole interview and I really enjoyed listening to Fred Durst and I come away with a whole new positive impression of the guy. Also, I rarely recall somebody making Bill Maher crack up so much on these Club Random podcasts. Kudos, Fred.
I'm 51 and I still Jam to Limp Bizkit. I still have my DVD from the Family Values Tour. I'll never forget i broke my brand new glasses in the Pit!!! It was Focking Awesome!!!
I wasn't sure about this one, then at about 23 minutes Fred segues into zero point energy from the vacuum of space... I observed the look on Bill's face and knew that it was time to settle in and watch the whole thing.
Thank you Fred for trying to open up Bill's closed mind to ZERO POINT ENERGY old men like him in the media are exactly who need to wake up! The narration you did on the List Century was incredible!
@@JustinLesamiz Everybody in Limp Bizkit was amazing at their instrument. Jon Otto, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, they were all phenominal. Sure, Durst was not a once in a lifetime vocalist, but he was competent and unique. I get that it's cool to hate on Limp Bizkit, but dude, the instruments in that band were good.
16:33: 36 now, listened to Limp Bizkit in my teenage years. I’ll admit I am not familiar with their current music but I still put on their old stuff in the gym or in the car. Something about the music during this time, more specifically Korn, LB, System of A Down, Sublime, that kind of music, still resonates with me.
This episode hits on an idea I've long believed... that the source of almost all adult depression is the disconnect between what we are told as kids is real and what we find out as adults to actually be true.
In Buddhism, suffering is attributed to our being delusional and ignorant about the nature of reality. One of the most prominent delusions that we have is that things won't change, and so when we have a nice situation we cling onto it and try to keep it nice, and then freak out when it begins to change. Relationships are a good example of this. But if we understood reality, i.e. that things change all of the time, then we'd be at peace as things change and not lose our happiness. So, yes, I agree... we suffer because how we think does not correspond to how things are.
I drove down to Santa Cruz and don't even want to leave my car. I don't drink or smoke and have really just lost my touch. This is the worst I've been. I am turning 42 and just feel completely useless. The world is spinning and I'm not involved. Damn.
This is one of the best podcasts I’ve seen. Great conversation. Fred is very calm, cool and confident with direct questions and honest curiosity to learn more. I had to spark a Jammer once Fred decided to burn one w ol Billy Badass!
I feel like this could’ve been a really good interview. At the end we almost got a teaser of what it could’ve been. But it seemed like after Fred got buzzed he just deflected the attention back over to Bill. It was silly and funny but Fred is smarter then he may seem. I would’ve liked to hear how he felt seriously looking back over some of those albums. Also I would’ve liked to hear about more movies he likes or what he would’ve liked to direct if he had gone more that route vs music. This was like one big epic goofy derail of a convo. Not complaining just a little disappointed.
Fred Durst is way cooler than people think
he needs a neck adjustment
That's similar to what I said. Very underrated
@@83442handle yeah a 180 degree adjustment .. his always have been an ugly person

I do find it annoying how Fred asks questions then constantly interrupts Bill responses
Bill is unable to finish a single sentence but does a good job of not getting frustrated by it
Why wouldn't he be, his band is a reject from 2000,the only reason he's touring again is there's no bands anymore
Id be humble too if I knew I made it with absolutely no talent.

Fred Durst is one of the swaggiest dudes of all time. Loved him since the early 2000s. Limp Bizkit is such an underrated band.
What about in the 90’s? They were even bigger from ‘97 - ‘99
You spelled overrated wrong.
@@timothys3119 They were big in the late 90s too. I didn't discover them until after Chocolate Starfish came out. I was 10 or 11 years out.

I used to share a band space with Fred in Jacksonville way back in the day just before Limp Biskit. It was an office space that let bands practice there to keep people from breaking in the place at night. He used to have a band called 10 foot shindig then.

Fred will probably never read this - but I'll never forget him singing Pink Floyds "Wish You Were Here" after 9/11 happened and they were holding a benefit concert..He earned my respect that day with that performance..it was brilliant and Pink Floyd is my favorite band. Good shit Fred!
In the late 90’s I meet Fred Durst hear in Milwaukee several times. First time was when I snuck into the Warped tour early... like 9am and just starting helping people set up the venue. Fred walked up behind me ( I saw LB open for Korn so I was already a big fan) and I confessed I had snuck in. He said “well your in now” he hung with me for a little while then he slowly got back to his work. For the next couple of years I would sneak in early, or meet them when their bus would arrive in town. One time I gave Fred, Sam, and John I ride from one venue over to another venue in Milwaukee ( from Modjeska theatre to the rave) to go and confront the guys in coal chamber (who were opening for machine head at the rave bar) on our way to the coal chamber bud we bumped into Blink 182 who were still touring in a white econoline van. After that we got Fred and crew back to the modjeska for their show where Fred had put me and my friends on the “guest list”. When I went to get into the venue I had Logan from Machine head next to me who wasn’t on the guest list and couldn’t get in. I went in, stopped Fred after a song and said “Logan from Machine head is out front he can’t get in. Fred called him in on the mic!!! Hahaha so awesome. Later that night all the guys from LB came back to the rave to watch Machine head play. It was fuxking awesome!!!! Over the years I had gotten to see them once or twice more but they played bigger venues so it was hard to “sneak in” and hang with them.
Anyways thanks Fred, that was a really cool thing to experience as a 19 year old fan back then. Glad you’re doing well, the new music is great. If you ever come to Milwaukee again I’ll try to sneak in and say hi hahahaha 🤙🤙🤙 oh and all the guys in LB signed the backs of the seats in my car. Fred wrote “Fred smells like yeast” as he had wondered what the smell was coming from the breweries. Dj lethal tagged his name with an anarchy A. So many people would ask to see my seats. Hahahaha
Bizkit is one of those bands you go back to after 20 years and realize how incredibly great they were. Bands like lb and lp changed my life. Immortals
Bizkit has always been great!
Wes Borland is a criminally underrated guitarist
Never cared for them. They always seemed like a parody band. Now, after hearing Durst's motivation for starting the band, I understand why.
@@GodIsInTheTv You take Durst out of the equation and you got an objectively great, very talented and original band. LP was safe Pop Metal whatever way you slice it. Great for people getting into heavier stuff if thats their first exposure but if you were already onto heavier pastures- its basically radio rock. LB at least had riffs.
wtfi lp?
Who knew I’d wake up on a Monday morning in2023 and fall in love with Fred’s voice all over again. ❤
I just cant comprehend how cool Fred Durst is to endure Bill Maher and get along with him, changing subject, keeping it fresh and being laid back. Wow
Believe it or not maher isnt as pretentious as he is on tv in real life.
I cannot believe that’s Fred durst now
He’s totally mature and settled into midlife and is totally content with himself and not impressed by his career .
Shocked !
He was huge for a while .
he has literally always been this way, lol.
Dude genuinely seemed more proud of flipping 14 houses than Limp Bizkit. I’d listen to a daily podcast from Fred Durst. What an amazing and surprising episode this was
I never stopped limping with the bizkit. I remember back when "Significant Other" came out, and I was the first kid in school with a cd burner. I would sell them for $3 each or give you a free one if you let me borrow a cd to copy. "Significant Other" was one of my biggest sellers.
Got to meet Fred back in ‘00. Absolutely one of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with in entertainment. And I still listen to his band (38 years old now) as much as I did then.
Gotta say... I listened to Limp Bizkit a lot when I was younger and still listen to them. I actually never watched an interview of Fred Durst. It is not what I expected at all and I love it. Great episode!
Hey aramis, schnack doch Mal mit ihm, bist doch gleich um die Ecke 😋
This guy looks like he's seen The Fight Club about 28 times
he said that in 2000, the movie came out in 99. Fred must have seen Fight Club about a million time by now
THE Fight Club lolol
So come and get it!
Deus ex best Game ever
This was one of my favorite episodes. I never knew much about Fred but have to say he is one cool person, down to earth and just a person I could sit and drink with and laugh my sides off.
Cheers
Fred Durst has entered his Gnome phase.
Damn, you're quick and good!
Lmao
Hopefully David Cross doesn't get in trouble or they will be looking for Fred
Omg 😂
Keep gnomen' gnomen' gnomen' YEAH boi
Dang you can really tell (multiple times) Fred really looks up to Bill. It was also neat to see him genuinely trying to pick his brain. Wouldnt have assumed it but this was definitely one of my favorite recent podcasts. Cheers Bill & Fred
A guest who did his homework, unlike Bill at times ; ) He does have big fan in Fred.
I met Fred once when I worked at Apple and mention his amazing movie directing skills. He was really appreciative!
Bill- "You've preserved your self very well." Fred Durst looks like an old fisherman who just came back to shore. Ok Bill!
Lol it's just the beard. He doesn't look like 20 years have passed since they were #1 on the charts, Fred looks healthy and wholesome and Happy
Garden Knome, cool one though, TRULY!!!😭🤣😂😆👏👏👏
With flawless skin***
Good comment
Dad Vibes
I'm stopping everything I'm doing and I'm watching this whole thing right now
0k...
Sundays are dry for pods, I like that bill puts them out today
Me too. Fuck yes. Fred is the man.
Whooo
🕍🎸🥃✳️🐣💖🐰💒🐇🧺🍫
Its just one if those daysssss…when Bill Maher gets so lit he can only mumble sentences 😂 you guys rock
I didn't know it, but I've been waiting 20 years to see Bill Maher get Fred Durst high
It was a bit of a roller coaster. At first he turned to down and I was so disappointed. Then Fred came around.
Me too, I’m glad I got to sit down and smoke, watching this stoned. Not a bad Monday.
EXACTLY!!!!
Barry White did it for 'The Nookie' too.
As a 23 year old just getting into Limp Bizkit and Fred Durst, seeing everyone think he was supposed to be a big dummy all this time is kinda shocking to me. His music was and is brilliant. Really goes to show how current culture (of the time) influences the way people view others. Big respect to Fred!
We’ve all gotten older and smarter.
So cool to see Fred Durst again, his music was such an ode to the time, and he seems like a completely down to earth guy
True. True. Not many albums have the ability to transport me back to a time in my life like Significant Other does.
Fred is a really thoughtful, sincere, humble, and curious thinker.
I still say Limp Bizkit’s set at Woodstock is one of the best live performances of all time.
Also, Bill is unbearable.
Cool beard
Glad it wasn’t just me that thought that haha
I just watched it for the first time a few nights ago and, yeah, its up there with one of the best live performances I've ever seen. fred's got such a unique voice and presence on stage. during break stuff, during the bridge where he's going, "I'll skin your ass raw..." when he hits the high note in, "rAAAAw," it sounds sooooooo crazy. they're headlining a night at welcome to rockville in daytona beach, fl next May... thinking I'm gonna have to go.
@hamilt55467 Seems everyone has a different opinion. I saw them a few years ago in a small venue. We had to stand outside for almost 2 hours waiting to get in because the venue had some issue. Fred came out from his bus and was hanging out in the line, talking to fans, taking pictures, bringing water to us (it was august so it was about 95 degrees at 8pm). He also acknowledges he was an asshole when LB first got huge.
@MilehighsnakeI98 I think he was calling Bill Maher insufferable lol
I grew up listening to Limp Bizkit and since I met them musically when I was barely 13 years old I haven't stopped listening to them, I treasure many memories with each song. Now almost 39 years old, I'm collecting memories for the future with my young son (it's crazy to see him shake his head when he's almost two when he hears Limp Bizkit) Thank you for so many years of great music: Fred, Wes, Sam, John and Lethal.
Math doesnt add up...
@marinablack181 So he was 13 in 1997. Math does add up.
Go on Rogan next. I need more Fred.
Hell yes!
Yea, i think Fred would be perfect for a good 3hr Joe Rogan podcast as clearly Fred isn't just music orientated and has a good head on his shoulders about the world around us
Young Jamie is a huge fan
How do we make this happen!!@@republicofcasuals
BEST INTERVIEW HANDS DOWN, TWO GUYS HANGIN OUT. LOVE IT!
Club Random keeps having awesome guests . Great stuff, Bill!!
I just stumbled upon his podcast a few days age. I thought the same thing. guys had some great gets.
Who tf is Fred Durst?
Yep! It’s just unfortunate bills podcast wasn’t around in the 90s and 00s.. we could have been treated to so many great conversations
I saw Limp Bizkitz open for Korn in March of 1997. 3 Dollar Bills wasn't released yet. I had no idea who they were and they blew us all away.
Man that must have been a great time. I like significant other and chocolate starfish, but the first album is still unmatched and very different.. very raw ...
Same, 3/27/97 Lewiston Maine!
@@heanz it was a great show.
Three dollar bill was such a good album. My favorite counterfeit and stuck
Great interview! Fred comes across as such a humble guy! Saw him in London last weekend at the ripe age of 38! loved it! John Lennon's childhood house was up the road from me in Liverpool. Very affluent area
So great to see Fred Durst on this podcast. Hoping he will do more of them. Bravo Fred.
I'm a huge limp bizkit fan and this podcast episode just made me get to know Fred even more and he is just amazing and such a relaxing dude
Fred I am 56. And watch u videos u rock I rock right along u have a timeless energy!!!! I am invested in music and open minded reality !!!! You are that guy rock on ... and Bill u are bad ass ...hence the connection flows w this interview u have made my year guys!!!!!
People can say what they want about Fred and Limp Bizkit but they rocked that shit hard live, one of the most entertaining live shows.
Their set at Woodstock 99 is legendary!
Mr. The Weekend
😭🤣😂😆👏👏👏
Yeah but not the same thing as Jackson Browne🤔
😂 😂 😂
I was born in 92 and have blasted Limp Bizkit since first hearing them as a kid they will never get old thank you Fred your words have been fucking amazing love you guys ❤
Fred Durst's troll level=expert.
Fred and Wes are a couple of my teenage heros. Without them, my teenage angst would have had no outlet. Who knows where I would've ended up. Thanks Fred.
Im 50 and recently went to see limp bizkit for the first time. Loved every minute of it! Such great energy♡
Durst is a gem.
This is the good thing about Club Random. Real Time might have not been on this Friday but Club Random is here on Sundays.💃💃🔥
Why was real time not on?
@@isaaccutlip5815 Bill's stand-up
@@isaaccutlip5815 Bill needed time off to prepare for his Easter dinner celebration. Lol.
Billy, you are a boy, not even close to a man. You buy your friends and "lovers". Don't you get it? You need to love and have compassion to truly live. Smoke all the dope you want, chase your pushy fix with your money. Good luck. We all die alone, but you are more alone than I can comprehend, by your own choice. Very sad. Just one human opinion. Peace bro.
Not listening to that music right now?!? LB have been on rotation in my car for the last 20 years to this day!
I have re-arranged on repeat lately
This was a fun one! And i never knew Fred was such an awakened individual.
Fred is a super smart person, so inspirational!
Fred, I still listen to you buddy. And I’m 57. 👊🏻👍🏻. Just saw you in Charlotte last week. Amazing!!!
Fred looks like a tug boat captain from WW2!
Too funny, man 😂😂
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Captain Durst of the USS Limp Bizkit
Looks more like the tugboat.
Feels like really great chemistry here. Would be stoked for an Episode 2.
Fred hasn’t done a lot of press in years, and it’s so great seeing the real him. I’m a lifelong fan of LB and they were my first concert back with Family Values. If you really listen to the lyrics of the songs and pay attention to Fred’s cinematography in his Music Videos, you can see the real man behind the red hat. Great episode Fred ❤
People talk mad about Fred and Limp Bizkit but the band is successful for a reason (extremely catchy lyrics and sometimes smart within it) and plus Wes Borland is an amazing guitarist. I’ve always loved these guys. Fred is the man.
Not a fan but they have a sense of humor about themselves that makes them tolerable. Plus I thought the Fanatic was a future cult classic lol
@@themadmattster9647 Moose is in the house!
I'm glad that I was 11 going on 12 in 1998 for sure. My twins may or may not have dropped because of the Faith video
I just remember that MadTV did a career shattering send up .
Successful doesn't equal good. They are a terrible terrible band. Wes Borland isn't a very good guitar player and that makeup he wears is stupid as f&ck.
I will always love Limp. They never took themselves too seriously. They never expected anyone else to either. It just fun feel good music that you memorize the words to. Ive been watching a lot of Limps recent tour videos. They might be making a come back
This was an awesome interview. Thanks for thanking the time guys.
Fred is way cooler than my adolescent mind imagined. im 36 and never stopped jamming the first 4 albums and the latest was impressive. Dig Wes side project with his wife…………….if only we couuld flyyy
Can I just say, I’m like 5 mins in and I’m smiling ear to ear… Thank you for this one y’all ✌️❤️
Was never a fan of Limp Bizkit and by extension of that, Fred Durst. But I watched this whole interview and I really enjoyed listening to Fred Durst and I come away with a whole new positive impression of the guy. Also, I rarely recall somebody making Bill Maher crack up so much on these Club Random podcasts. Kudos, Fred.
Fred D is one of the most interesting guests. Thanks, Bill, for another great show
I love when Bill cracks the joke about being Barry White's son then falls to his side and laughs like a kid. Classic.
That was my favorite part 😂
I read that exactly when it happened
The Walrus above 🙌
When you’ve been smoking cloves things get funnier.
@@KatrinEgilsdottir #METOO!!!😭🤣😂😆👏👏👏
I'm 51 and I still Jam to Limp Bizkit. I still have my DVD from the Family Values Tour. I'll never forget i broke my brand new glasses in the Pit!!! It was Focking Awesome!!!
Did not expect this 👏 keep up the excellent content Bill 👍
I wasn't sure about this one, then at about 23 minutes Fred segues into zero point energy from the vacuum of space... I observed the look on Bill's face and knew that it was time to settle in and watch the whole thing.
Thank you Fred for trying to open up Bill's closed mind to ZERO POINT ENERGY old men like him in the media are exactly who need to wake up! The narration you did on the List Century was incredible!
Bill isn't allowed to let that talk happen,,he's a puppet is what I got outta that instantly
Yeah woulda been nice if Bill would STFU and let Fred talk
Fred is an interesting dude.
Bill lives in the real world not the land of make believe.
Fred Durst is incredible, these guys were on top of the world at one point. These guys made huge hits. Thanks for this podcast!
Yeah, it's absolutely incredibly how they had huge hits without any amount of talent. I would applaud it if it wasn't entirely commonplace today.
@@JustinLesamiz Everybody in Limp Bizkit was amazing at their instrument. Jon Otto, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, they were all phenominal. Sure, Durst was not a once in a lifetime vocalist, but he was competent and unique. I get that it's cool to hate on Limp Bizkit, but dude, the instruments in that band were good.
I was never a big fan of Fred's but after this interview I've come to realize Fred is intelligent and a pretty cool guy.
16:33: 36 now, listened to Limp Bizkit in my teenage years. I’ll admit I am not familiar with their current music but I still put on their old stuff in the gym or in the car.
Something about the music during this time, more specifically Korn, LB, System of A Down, Sublime, that kind of music, still resonates with me.
Fred: don’t you want free energy? Bill: yeah, how? Fred: you want free energy or not?
I could watch this interview all day. I’m so enlightened!
Just two dudes hangin. Entertained I get, but "enlightened"? What was so mind-blowing?
Rearranged is one of the best songs of the millennium. And we all got a forever soft spot for Rollin.
This episode hits on an idea I've long believed... that the source of almost all adult depression is the disconnect between what we are told as kids is real and what we find out as adults to actually be true.
Chemical imbalance is real too. I can be deeply down and feel better 3 hours better with medication.
In Buddhism, suffering is attributed to our being delusional and ignorant about the nature of reality. One of the most prominent delusions that we have is that things won't change, and so when we have a nice situation we cling onto it and try to keep it nice, and then freak out when it begins to change. Relationships are a good example of this. But if we understood reality, i.e. that things change all of the time, then we'd be at peace as things change and not lose our happiness. So, yes, I agree... we suffer because how we think does not correspond to how things are.
Can Bill EVER get a guest to blaze with him?
I drove down to Santa Cruz and don't even want to leave my car. I don't drink or smoke and have really just lost my touch. This is the worst I've been. I am turning 42 and just feel completely useless. The world is spinning and I'm not involved. Damn.
@@GUITARTIME2024 Well that is kinda why people like Drugs. Lol
But before the drugs have you consider your diet, exercise, environment etc… ?
This is one of the best podcasts I’ve seen. Great conversation. Fred is very calm, cool and confident with direct questions and honest curiosity to learn more.
I had to spark a Jammer once Fred decided to burn one w ol Billy Badass!
This is the absolute best interview I have seen on your podcast. Oh my God I’m laughing the whole time you need to bring him back on ! 😂
Yesss! Fred is cool af. Great episode. It legit felt like they didn’t even know a camera was in the room. Great natural conversation.
Pushing 40 and still listen to Limp Bizkit. ❤
I've watched some of their recent live shows on RUclips while drunk. What a vibe! Fred and Wes on stage and the audience just vibing.
Love you Fred! I used to go to the LB shows at the Milk Bar here in Jax FL. Still rock to their music 25 years later! 🤘🏼
I feel like this could’ve been a really good interview. At the end we almost got a teaser of what it could’ve been. But it seemed like after Fred got buzzed he just deflected the attention back over to Bill. It was silly and funny but Fred is smarter then he may seem. I would’ve liked to hear how he felt seriously looking back over some of those albums. Also I would’ve liked to hear about more movies he likes or what he would’ve liked to direct if he had gone more that route vs music. This was like one big epic goofy derail of a convo. Not complaining just a little disappointed.
*than "Then" denotes time. "Than" is for comparison.
I really wish he answered about ‘99
