The new song “Bring ‘Em Back (We Want Dinos)” by comedy improv group Smosh parodies Limp Bizkit. The song, which promotes paleontology, calls for the return of dinosaurs in a predictable nu metal manner. In case you didn’t know, Smosh performed the song under the stage name Fred Darts, which is a play on the name of Fred Durst, the frontman of Limp Bizkit. That identity is also a reoccurring character from Smosh‘s Spencer Agnew.
Upcoming shows by Limp Bizkit:
The American nu metal group Limp Bizkit is based in Jacksonville, Florida. Lead singer Fred Durst, drummer John Otto, guitarist Wes Borland, and turntablist DJ Lethal make up the group. Borland’s audio experiments and Durst’s irate vocal delivery define the band’s musical style. The group is among the most prosperous nu metal acts ever. It has sold 40 million albums worldwide, received multiple honours, and been nominated for three Grammy honours.
John Otto and Wes Borland joined the band shortly after Durst and Sam Rivers founded it in 1994. After gaining popularity in the Jacksonville underground music scene in the late 1990s, Limp Bizkit signed with Flip Records, who distributed the band’s debut album, “Three Dollar Bill, Y’all” (1997). “Significant Other” (1999) and “Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water” (2000), the band’s second and third studio albums, brought them widespread success. However, a number of scandals involving its appearances at Woodstock ’99 and the 2001 Big Day Out festival clouded its success.
