Other high profile directors represented on the disc are Joseph Kahn, The Malloys, David LaChappelle and Jonas Akerlund.
Limp Bizkit's Greatest Videoz boasts twelve clips. Besides the band's first video, "Counterfeit," everything on the DVD was directed or co-directed by the band's frontman Fred Durst.
