Limp Bizkits first CD was Awesome. I think that the Record Label told them to sound a certain way to sell more albums. So their 2nd cd doesn't sound like their first cd. I feel it wasn't close to being as good as their first CD $3 Dollar Bill Y'alls. They just went downhill after that.

​@@DustDragon I wouldn't say that Wes Borland UNCOVERED rock/metal guitar groove. Dimebag was doin' the groove metal thing before him, and, as stated EVH and Nuno Bettencourt before him. But Wes Borland definitely found a new way to approach it, that struck a super deep chord with the youth generation of his prime career era. No denying he is still to this day a super underrated guitarist, though it's nice to see that the conversation around Limp Bizkit and Wes Borland has been trending more positively over the last 10 years!

I wouldn't say he's one of the GOAT. But he is extremely creative and clever with how he uses the instrument. Much like Adam Jones(Tool guitarist), he just has a gift for creating something that fits the vibe of songs that dont fit a usual vibe. Primus guitar player fits the same basic criteria. He doesnt need to be "GOATED" to be amazing, he made riffs to songs that people still listen to today and will still listen to in 10, even 20 years. And that's more than anyone can ask, to have an actual, tangible legacy.

Wow! I never knew that was a 4-string guitar on Nookie rather than a bass, no wonder that riff has a sound like no other. Awesome video and all these are amazing riffs, but my favorite is probably that end riff in Counterfeit, it really chugs yet has a chilling melody to it as well. I'm really happy Limp Bizkit's been getting more of the respect they deserve these past few years. The atmospheric side of Borland's playing and the harmonics/tapping has been an inspiration on my own playing, and Sam Rivers is a really underrated bassist too, he's got a real swing with one section in Stuck sounding more like an upright bass.

[@TGerreGT]

The irony about this entire thing is, that Wes himself isn't overlooked at all, I've heard these statements about him countless of times, since the nu metal era is gone long enough to let people have unbiased opinions on it, BUT he actually gets so much recognition to a point where it casts a shadow on all the other members of Limp Bizkit, while IMHO they're just as good at their respective fields as Wes is on guitar. Even Fred has a range that most of nowaday's vocalists can only dream of. Probably the only aspect of their music that is not uniquely creative is their song structures, which is fairly obvious, but also understandable, like don't change a winning recipe, but all the other components are super fun, and also easy for beginners to learn. I appreciate the hell out of them.

[@brianmachesky6234]

[@ducky158]

No different than content that just amounts to "famous musician reacts to song by other band" that they've "never heard before!"

These sorts of statements are only relevant if you just came out of a bomb shelter, or are only 16 years old.

[@The_Tradie_Trainer]

Idk about Fred having a range other vocalists could only dream of. His biggest strength was the amount of publicity he generated.

[@ducky158]

@The_Tradie_Trainer personally i find his flow is his strength but his writing is kind of, you know. Mostly just wacky. If he had someone else writing doper lines for him i think he'd be able to deliver them in fun ways. And sometimes his writing is fun too, just because of how it serves his flow. It's never of much substance, except maybe The Unquestionable Truth which was pseudo deep.

Sure, Wes (a pro guitar player) can play his instrument........ just like 99%+ of all pro guitar players. But noticing the title of the video being "Why Do Guitarists Secretly Love Limp Bizkit?" They don't. If the YT channel wants to swing on Wes's nutz maybe title it as "Wes from LB is underated" as that would be more accurate a title for the actual content. Which i'm betting the stuff Wes makes WITHOUT Freds influence is far better. If you like LB that's your subjective opinion which you are entitled to have, but realise it's just that, SUBJECTIVE.

I've been with Limp Bizkit since 7th grade. I'm 36 now and they are masters of their own realm. As a drummer i really love what Limp Bizkit has done with its music. Unfortunatley the rawness of the 90's is gone. It was a golden age for metal music. Now, it feels like a waiting period for somthing just as raw, for the new wave.

My favorite riffs are on: Stalemate Pollution Indigo flow Nookie Re-Arranged Hot dog (awful song otherwise) Boiler Gimme the mic (not Wes on guitar tho) The Truth The Channel Bring it back Out of style He's definitely one of my favorites with his own thing 🔥🙏🏼

[@commentmaster_666]

All rubbish songs.

[@Petteriks]

@commentmaster_666 how would you know?

[@IrLosin]

Me and my friends were diehard into thrash back in the day. When bands like Korn, and Limb Bizkit came out, a lot of puritans around us were: "that's not Metal, this is the end of Metal!" And we were: no this is innovative. Broaden your horizon, there is so much good music out there.

too bad it sucks

[@djdarklyceum]

Re-arranged was always my favourite song by them. Every instrument shined equally and the break down was just something else back in 1999. I got the album Significant Other for my 15th birthday. xD

[@dee5559]

Always found him awesome since i discovered the band in 99, just could never figure out how he plays all his stuff! Thanks for that's

[@markfinnerty3975]

Bro! Love what you've done here. I've always wondered this. Would have enjoyed seeing Nobody Like You. Best Bizkit song and riffing imo.

[@Soloslayer427]

First time on your channel but you're pretty badass. Keep it up

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@prototype9904]

Thanks, I have a new appreciation of Wes now \m/

[@danielwatson7540]

Wes has never been a scale-computer shredder, but he's a master of creating cool vibes and soundscapes. The guy has a really masterful ear for honing some of the most iconic tones that most modern metal bands are still chasing today. Heavy/lead tones are absolutely crushing and the clean tones are ambient to the point where they almost make their own soundscapes

[@CaptainJackSawyer]

I could listen to My Way on a loop for a thousand years.

[@waggishwonderland]

I always say wes borland is my favourite guitarist. Ever since my way I've just been enthralled by his play style. Its so unique that it cant even be imitated. Idgaf, he's to me what hendrix is to many others

[@SocialArts]

awesome video

[@Mikeymoo270]

I saw him play a solo in 2017 live in Cardiff when limp bizkit was touring with Korn and it was one of the most insane, awe inspiring performances I have ever seen

[@mastergeek1479]

Great video. Thanks. Love Wes Borland - Hybrid Worlds guitar riff.

[@patriciocorvalan1298]

Nice video man! Nice guitar tone too

[@Automatic13]

Wes’ tone is next level. I always loved it.
