31. Fred Durst

Hands up if you remember the explicit tunes of Limp Bizkit from the 90s and early 00s. Lead singer and ex-tattoo artist, Fred Durst was famous for his trademark red hat and some pretty descriptive lyrics. Just like Willie Nelson earlier in the list, Durst knew early on in life what his core interests were. From the age of 12 years old he was rapping, skating, and beatboxing, as though he was destined to become the lead singer of Limp Bizkit.

There were a few obstacles in the way before Durst made it to the top of the nu metal scene in the 90s. For one, he joined the United States Navy. However, he only served for two years before leaving to become a tattoo artist. It was in this job that he thought up the idea for a really cool band.
