PUDDLE OF MUDD GIVE PROPS TO BIZKIT VOX DURST

While Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Dusrt has been keeping a low profile, Puddle Of Mudd said that the man who made their career is still a tough cookie.

Puddle Of Mudd still has the back of Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst despite the naysayers. Puddle of Mudd has managed to survive the tide when it comes to the whims of Alternative radio and the scene. While not overly hyped, the band has captured the top Alternative rock spot with the song “Psycho,” and they’re doing pretty well on the other rock charts we might add. The band was discovered by Fred Durst, which led to the band hitting with mega hits “Blurry,” “She Hates Me,” and others. They’ve recently released their latest album, Famous.

Durst has been challenged to fights by Slipknot, has taken shots for his relationship with Britney Spears, and his on stage antics. Puddle Of Mudd said that they’ll be eternally grateful to Durst, and that the former Bizkit frontman is a tough cookie and can take the shots.

“Fred’s cool, man. He’s a tough cookie. He got our foot in the door, that’s for real and helped out tremendously. I think nowadays he’s doing a lot of directing. We don’t speak to him too much, but we appreciate everything he’s ever done for our careers, which is awesome. My hat’s off to him, man. Shoot, if it wasn’t for him we probably wouldn’t be sitting in this room doing this interview right now, or may be we would be. But he definitely helped out a lot. I wish him all the best for all the movies he’s doing, and if he gets another band rocking I’m sure the music’s going to be really cool. He’s a very talented and artistic cat.”

Durst recently released The Education Of Eddie Banks, which was one of the most favorable flicks at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival. It’s been over ten years since Limp Bizkit erupted onto the scene, and the band’s body of work includes Three Dollar Bill Y’All$ (1997), Significant Other (1999), Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water (2000), Results May Vary (2003), and The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) (2005).
