I am going to start this reply by saying that I AM a fan of Limp Bizkit. With that, here goes.
First off, from reading a recent interview with Fred Durst by MTV,
found here, it states the following (check it out yourself if you want, I'm directly cutting and pasting):
MTV: Since there was a Family Values Tour album, would you consider doing an Anger Management Tour album? It's such a great lineup.
Durst: F---, no. Dude, we suck live. We're not out there making an effort to sound killer for you. We're feeding off your energy and getting into a moment and having a moment with you. You know what I mean? It's a rock show. We're singing the songs I wrote a year ago, and the only way I can feel 'em like I wrote 'em is for you to be feeling them and show me how you're feeling, and I feed off of that and I go back to where I was. I sound like sh-- and we're missing drumbeats, 'cause we're so overwhelmed by the energy and the moment. That's why we suck live. That's why there's no live Limp Bizkit record. [RealVideo]
MTV: So after shows, you guys don't sit around and go, "Dude, the guitars were too loud," or anything like that?
Durst: Hell, no. Dude, we're a rock band, and we're out to feed off the energy and if there's no energy, the show's gonna suck. I mean, bottom line. That's why we don't do TV shows for you guys or anybody without a crowd. Gotta have some kids there, or we ain't doing it. It's so stupid to sit in front of some cameras. That's what's so hard about doing a video, for us to do conceptual videos and performances, because it's so hard to feel that energy and feed that energy when you're just sitting in front of cameras and some camera guys.
All this proves is that they know they suck. It's just about the energy of being there, not just hearing it.
Second of all, DesignDawg says:

I think limp is only famous because SOMEONE LOST A BET. There really couldn't be another possible explanation for it I think. >>
I would probaly say the same thing about whatever group you liked the most, be it the Spice Girls or Vanilla Ice
