Early history

Contrary to popular belief, Limp Bizkit was not named for the fraternity game "limp biscuit". They were named after the way a friend of the band described his brain after getting high. Limp Bizkit was formed in 1994 by Durst, Rivers, Borland and Otto. They toured in and around their hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. About this time, they became friends with rap music's House of Pain, which included DJ Lethal. Soon after House of Pain broke up, DJ Lethal joined the band. They were discovered by Korn's bassist Reginald Arvizu in 1995, in the backstage of a concert of his band in Jacksonville. In 1996 they released a five song EP featuring songs such as "Pollution" and "Sour".
