LIMP BIZKIT's FRED DURST Addresses CHINO MORENO's 'Shit-Talking'

July 11, 2003

LIMP BIZKIT frontman Fred Durst has reacted to recent comments made by DEFTONES singer Chino Moreno in Revolver magazine. Moreno said regarding the band's Summer Sanitarium tour: "A big problem for me was opening for LIMP BIZKIT and LINKIN PARK, two bands that wouldn't exist if it weren't for me, straight up! But in the end I'm seriously energized and I'm not going out there to make friends and kick it. I'm out there to leave people with their jaws on the floor. And I know we can do it. I know we're the best live band on the tour."

Speaking to the New York radio station K-Rock on Tuesday (June 7),the day before LIMP BIZKIT's appearance at Giants stadium, Durst downplayed the sentiment behind Moreno's remarks, saying "That's just Chino. I've known [Chino] for years. The first tour LIMP BIZKIT ever did, before DJ Lethal was in the band, we did a tour with the DEFTONES, following them in our cars in these little venues — literally 30-40 people a night. We've been DEFTONES fans [for a long time]. There's something about the presence and the vibe and the spirit of that band that touches me emotionally. And I know Chino. It's just that [Sacramento] vibe, man. They don't really give a fuck. And nothing impresses them, and they're over it, and they're who they are, and they stand their ground, and I've gotta respect them for that. He called me after [the interview was published], and he said, 'Dude, sorry about that. I don't know… I guess it was a bad day, I was just talking shit.' " Listen to the 12-minute interview here.
