Jelly Roll and Fred Durst just joined forces to handle rock royalties!
On Friday, May 10, Limp Bizkit headlined the Rockville Festival in Daytona Beach, Florida, and the band’s frontman, Durst, 53, enlisted the help of the “Son of a Sinner” singer.
The Grammy-nominated rapper, 39, joined the band on stage at Daytona International Speedway to perform The Who’s ‘Behind Blue Eyes’, a staple of the nu metal group’s set list, which famously covered it on their 2003 album. Results may vary.

In footage of the epic crossover, which Maserati celebrity barber Matt captured from the side of the stage, the country star — who also performed at the Florida festival — made a slow exit after Durst told the crowd he needed an “angel” to come and “save me .”
He then repeated the phrase several times, seemingly as a nod to Jelly Roll’s Lainey Wilson song, “Save Me.”
And when the cowboy-hatted rapper appeared, the frontman shouted: “Oh my God. Ladies and gentlemen, Jelly Roll!”

After a standing ovation, the “Save Me” singer began singing the third verse of the classic song, singing, “No one knows what it’s like / To be bullied, to be defeated / Behind blue eyes.”
The musicians then sing the rest of the Pete Townshend-penned song as an acoustic duet before embracing, fan-filmed footage shows.
The nu metal icon also shared a video of himself and Jelly Roll to mark their moment together.
“Every once in a while, you get blessed and you run into an angel,” the “Break Stuff” rocker said before panning the camera to once again reveal the “angel” to be Jelly Roll.
And, with a laugh, the country star joked, “Too big, baby, in a black ball like Johnny Cash!”
“I love this guy,” Durst wrote of the singer, adding that “it was a pleasure sharing the stage last night.”

PEOPLE recently spoke with Jelly Roll as he prepares to kick off his massive Beautifully Broken tour in August.
“I’ve always said it and I mean it, man, I know my music touches people differently,” he told PEOPLE in April. “My songs are not something you listen to by the pool on a Saturday.”
Speaking about connecting with fans on his upcoming tour, he said: “My music is something you listen to that really gets you through something, and it means a lot to stand in front of them and get to know them as much as possible every night.”
“I wish I could have lunch with anyone who has ever been helped by my song,” he added.
