Fred Durst (@freddurst) is the lead singer of the nu-rock band Limp Bizkit, which performed at Woodstock in 1999 and is frequently held responsible. However, several attendees took Durst’s directives literally and started behaving erratically in the audience.
While others crowd-surfaced on wooden fences and some individuals scaled the sound tower, aggressive mosh pits polluted the throng. Fred Durst remarked in an interview after his performance, as featured in the showTrainwreck: Woodstock ’99.
It’s not our fault, that’s all I can say.
Like many well-known bands from the 1990s, Limp Bizkit’s music is loud, aggressive, and occasionally violent for those who are unfamiliar with it. Limp Bizkit’s Break Stuff, which has the words You don’t know why, but you want to justify rippin’ someone’s head off, is the song that John Scher alleges sparked the crowd.
