Limp Bizkit are now label-less after being dropped by Interscope after poor sales of comeback album Gold Cobra.
In an interview with Poolside with Dean Delray, frontman Fred Durst admitted that sales of Gold Cobra weren't great, but that's okay: he wasn't expecting anybody to buy it. “It wasn’t our step forward to make a big pop, smash radio record,” Durst said. “We just didn’t want to make that record at that time. We have been working for a while now to re-navigate where we are going to take Limp Bizkit and finally we have been able to get off our label and become independent.”
Durst went on to say that the band makes most of its money on income from touring outside of the United States. "The record thing sort of kind of always got in our way, but it’s part of the game and we love writing music and it happened that we had some songs that became popular and we never thought that would happen," Durst said, adding that the band is more comfortable with the European perspective on touring bands compared to the market in the United States, where "they’re waiting on a song, they’re waiting on a hit, and the rest of the world doesn’t necessarily operate that way."
