In an interview with Canada's Chart magazine, Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin unleashed on Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst. "He doesn't write our songs, he doesn't produce our songs, he doesn't do anything for us. He doesn't do our videos anymore. He doesn't do anything for this band." He added, "I don't know what he's doing, I don't know what the guy's like. All I know is that he's like Mr. Hollywood guy, Mr. Celebrity. Like, 'I don't hang out with anybody except Hollywood celebrities'. Every single fu**ing interview I've ever fu**ing done, I get asked about that fu**ing guy. I don't have anything against him, but I haven't talked to the guy in a fu**ing year and a half. And for me to do interviews all the time and be asked about this certain individual... people thinks he writes music with me or something. He does not do that. I just don't get it. We have nothing in common. He doesn't even call us, he has his assistant call us to congratulate us on our record. Yeah, that's how pathetic he is."
Well, the truth comes out. I almost thought you meant Wes Borland when I first saw the name of the topic.
That's what I thought as well. Is Fred Durst, like, the most hated guy in rock or what? [/b][/quote] i think the fact that he's so genuine, he dosnt put over a fake personality like some rock starts, i think freds a great guy tho, just with a big ego hmm i think freds skitzofrenic..........

[/b][/quote] He's said some really nasty stuff about people. Not that they're always the innocent party but, well, the guy's too blunt for his own good.
I don't get it. Fred just signed him to Flawless, he doesn't have to write their songs. Imagine what would happen if all the bands he's signed (not just in Flawless) wanted him to direct their videos :chemist:
huh? He doesn't sign artists for Interscope. Even though he is the Director Of Talent or some ####. [/b][/quote] He is A&R director of Flip Records. He's signed Staind, Cold and heaps of other bands to them

yeah and they basically all mouthed "F*ck you* and went their own ways, they didnt need him [/b][/quote] staind and fred are still great friends, their working on music together still
F*ck Wes. Fred was helping them with their new album, and besides BOO F*CKING HOO! If it wasn't for "pathetic" Fred, Wes would be NOTHING. Wes just jumped on the bandwagon with everyone else who hates Fred Durst. Now Fred is no saint, we all know he ALWAYS lashes back. But seriously, Durst comes out smelling like roses in this situation. Wes needs to look at the bigger picture and realize who helped him get to where he is today. I assume you know the story of how Wes and Fred met...

Maybe Wes actually does hate Fred....that can happen you know. [/b][/quote] I never said he doesn't, I'm just saying he's a little biznatch.
I can garauntee that bands like Staind, Cold and Puddle of Mudd would've been "discovered" even if it wasn't for Fred Durst. Wes has every right in the world to be pissed at the person who is supposedly supposed to be helping with his career. I mean, come on, he can't even call them and congratulate them himself and he has to have an assistant do it for him? What the hell is that?
