Fred Durst does not enjoy the likes of American music taste or playing shows in his home country, according to a new interview with Kerrang! He has stated that the US taste in music is only concerned with the next big thing and that people have moved on from liking his band Limp Bizkit. Someone call Carson Daly and let him know Fred’s still stuck in 2000.

Durst told Kerrang! magazine, “We don’t play back home. We’ve boycotted America for many years now. I don’t know, I just don’t wanna go out like that. We did a few radio shows in 2010 for a friend and that was it. We haven’t properly toured America since 2006. The reason? We just don’t know what’s going on in America. It’s all about the new catchy thing and that’s always changing.”

“America is driven by record sales. It’s the home of corporations. We’re just Limp Bizkit, so we don’t know how to do anything but Limp Bizkit.”

“But here’s the deal: say in 2000, there were 35 million people who connected to this band. Twelve years later, lots of those people have moved on. We were a moment in time and it’s over.”
