10 Hilariously Bad Musicians That Are Crazy Successful

For any mainstream rock act to succeed, it normally comes down to the frontman to hold everything together. No matter how much the guitarist may try to shred with the best of them, if you have a crappy frontman, it will be noted by every sect of the rock sphere. Such is the case with Limp Bizkit....complete with one of the most deplorable singers in the history of rock and roll.

That being said, is Fred Durst really a bad person? Some may think so, considering the weird tangents that he's gone on in recent years. That doesn't qualify a hilariously bad musician though. No, the real difficulty of Fred Durst is his stage persona, which seems to be channeling every high school bully that you see in a '00s teenage movie. As far as lyrics go, Durst is as bottom of the barrel as they come, with bars that could genuinely be considered parodies of themselves when taken out of context.

Even with all of the guitar genius of Wes Borland behind him, Durst has an uncanny quality to nullify any good material around him, even making a guitar cry in agony when he attempts to play it. Although musical chemistry can come from all sorts of places, Fred Durst has proven himself time and time again to be a musical negative zone.
