What is the story behind Fred Durst’s accidental rise with Limp Bizkit?
I was just in San Francisco over the weekend. I hadn't played there in a while. I was a little nervous because I was like, wow, this is like woke central. And woke is the enemy and opposite of political incorrectness, you know, and truth. But they were awesome. So I was thrilled that even in San Francisco. But you actually look the same as you always did. You preserved yourself very well.
Oh, thanks. So
I don't know what you're doing for your health, but it's working well.
I'm quite the metrosexual. I like the products,
man.
I came from a farm in North Carolina, and I got out here to L.A. with Limp Bizkit, and I end up at a Fred Siegel going, what's all this stuff? And they sold me a bunch of stuff for my face. Next thing you know, I got into the concept. Yeah, I don't judge that. I'm not sure
it's the product. I don't want to swap skincare products with you. Let's not go that far. You
never
know. Never say never. Yeah, you rock stars. You're all the same. It's always about crazy carrying on and, you know. Okay, so you have your drink, Fred? Yeah, I'm
having a little Reposado. What are you having? What's that? It's, to me, a much smoother version of tequila, a little more caramel-y.
Oh, right. Yeah. Oh, this Rotgut Saloon Whiskey. I don't know. Ah, whiskey guy. No, no, it's the same thing. It's tequila. Oh, okay. I don't know how tequila got so popular. Paul Mitchell.
Paul Mitchell. What? His patron, that's Paul Mitchell, the hair guy's tequila, from what I heard. Was that like the first? No, I'm just, I think it was the first one that got very popular that wasn't the yellow Cuervo that was. You know, it was
my boy Sammy Hagar who really did the first tequila.
I've never tried his tequila.
Well, I'm sure it's great. I love his vibe, though. That's for sure. He's a fun guy. He seems like he's awesome. Is that who your friends are, Fred? Are they rock stars? Not really. Do you hang out with regular people, or is it just the rock and roll lifestyle with the groupies and the... you know, drugs at all hours of the night and blasting the music and the yeah, yeah, yeah lyrics and the long hair. Is that your entire lifestyle or do you ever come down to earth with us normal people?
How normal are you, Fred? I don't even know if I want to expose that, you know, how normal I am. It's just us. No one's listening. Just us. No one's listening. We've known each other minutes. Yeah. We ran into each other a couple times at Midsummer Night. We said hello a couple times back in the day. Oh, at the
Playboy Mansion? That's right. You were a denizen of the Playboy
Mansion. Yeah, I love playing backgammon. So on Sundays, play backgammon. Yeah, that's
the appeal of
Playboy, the backgammon. Yeah. That kind of got me into the place a little, that I could play a little, and Midsummer Night's Dreams are the best parties of all time. What
is it that's always getting these guys to try to go to the Playboy Mansion? It must be the backgammon.
It's got to be backgammon. I love playing backgammon, though, to be
honest. Yeah, that seems like another life, going to the Playboy Mansion, I must tell you. That seems like a completely different life, and one I'm not pining
for. Yeah, I don't miss it that much, but I've had a few good times there. Well,
yeah, we were younger.
It's just fun. Those parties were a lot of fun.
Yeah.
Well, the liquor flowed freely. That's always the key. People always say, what's the key to a good party? Get the people fucked up. It's not rocket science. I've thrown parties here. I mean, this place was the party house until we made it into a studio. I mean, it looks the same. But I've had a lot of parties here. And what's the secret? I would roll like 100 joints and just pass them out to people at the party and make it easy to get a drink and I've never understood why it's always hard to get a drink at a bar. Wouldn't you sell more liquor if everyone could get a drink? Bartenders are cheap. I would have like 10 bartenders instead of the one or two. And everyone's just trying to get their attention. That's right.
What the fuck? Wouldn't you sell more liquor?
