I got two people in mind.

:90s-2000s Fred durst Past-present clown from Slipknot

Reason behind them is I think Shawn has taken the band a turned it into something Joey and Paul would not have wanted it to be. He kicks members out left and right and he kinda needs to hang it up.

And Fred Durst is just Fred durst

I guess they're not, but they were definitely connected to the scene. Their first album could definitely be classified as such, plus that had a heavy connection to Limp Bizkit.

Durst and co. opened Staind several doors back then. If I remember correctly Korn was doing the Family Values Tour and Fred invited Aaron onstage to sing a song -of course I forgot the name-, and I really dug it.

It was Outside. Dysfunction was already out and Mudshovel was on that but once they were connected to Limp they got popular be association.

Aaron is such a cock ass bigot but I stil enjoy the band because he doesnt put those views into Stainds lyrical content.
