Limp Bizkit: Interscope Records
built 118 days ago
After Borland’s departure, Limp Bizkit held auditions for a new guitarist. Thousands of hopefuls lined up at record and guitar shops for a chance to audition. Limp Bizkit was criticized for requiring all guitarists to sign waivers giving Limp Bizkit ownership of any riffs or interesting guitar parts performed by those auditioning.

Limp Bizkit has yet to announce its plans for the summer. The group was touring in support of its 2003 Interscope album "Results May Vary," which debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 1.2 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The success of this single ... would spawn the first of many scandals that would plague Limp Bizkit. It was rumored radio stations were offered payola to play “Nookie” multiple times (some stations played the songs three times in a row), and that this was a factor in the song’s success. Some radio disc jockeys claim Universal (the parent company of Interscope) was paying fifty dollars to programming directors every time “Nookie” was played. Limp Bizkit and Interscope have repeatedly denied this story however, and further note there is no evidence supporting such claims.

With album sales limping, wheezing and generally bleak, the music industry is counting on Limp Bizkit, Weezer and Memphis Bleek to remedy a retail health crisis. None is expected to single-handedly rescue the record business, but the May lineup of popular titles might be appealing enough collectively to slow the dive.
