Its lineup consists of lead vocalist [[Fred Durst]], drummer [[John Otto (drummer)|John Otto]], guitarist [[Wes Borland]], turntablist [[DJ Lethal]] and bassist [[Sam Rivers (bassist)|Sam Rivers]]. The band's musical style is marked by Durst's angry vocal delivery and Borland's sonic experimentation. Borland's elaborate visual appearance, which includes face and body paint, masks, and uniforms, also plays a large role in Limp Bizkit's live shows. The band has been nominated for three [[Grammy Awards]], sold 40 million records worldwide, and won several other awards.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://folioweekly.com/Unabashed-Aggressors,4178 |title=Unabashed Aggressors |author=McGregor, Nick |date=April 17, 2013 |publisher=Folio Weekly |access-date=April 18, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512110151/http://www.folioweekly.com/Unabashed-Aggressors%2C4178 |archive-date=May 12, 2013 |df=mdy-all}}</ref> Formed in 1994,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/limp-bizkit-mn0000290502/biography|title=Limp Bizkit Bio|publisher=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=February 12, 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171113003517/https://www.allmusic.com/artist/limp-bizkit-mn0000290502/biography|archive-date=November 13, 2017|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Limp Bizkit became popular playing in the Jacksonville [[underground music]] scene in the late 1990s, and signed with [[Flip Records (1994)|Flip Records]] (with distribution from [[Interscope Records|Interscope]]), who released the band's debut album, ''[[Three Dollar Bill, Y'all]]'' (1997). The band achieved mainstream success with its second and third studio albums, ''[[Significant Other (album)|Significant Other]]'' (1999) and ''[[Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water]]'' (2000). However, this success was marred by a series of controversies surrounding its performances at [[Woodstock '99]] and the 2001 [[Big Day Out]] festival. Borland left the group in 2001, but Durst, Rivers, Otto, and Lethal continued to record and tour with guitarist [[Mike Smith (guitarist)|Mike Smith]]. Following the release of their fourth album ''[[Results May Vary]]'' (2003), Borland rejoined the band and recorded the EP ''[[The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1)]]'' (2005) with Durst, Rivers, Lethal, and drummer [[Sammy Siegler]] before entering a hiatus. In 2009, the band reunited with Borland playing guitar and began touring, culminating with the recording of the album ''[[Gold Cobra]]'' (2011), after which it left Interscope and later signed with [[Cash Money Records]]; DJ Lethal quit the band soon afterward, returning in 2018.
