    He was challenged to a fist fight by Fred Durst, so he sent Fred an anger management book.

    Many fans claim his lyrics, band's music and performances have saved several young lives once suicidal.
    Wind Up Records shut down a major message board with hundreds of fans and it's rumored it was because of so much depressing negativity that added to many young people talking about suicide.
