Tonality: Wes Borland 'Break Stuff' Limp Bizkit Playthrough

[@shanerabey1642]

The look on his face like “my whole catalogue of music and you picked this song?”

[@ALLforROME]

The only look on his face I see is the "check out my pedophile mustache yo" 💣

[@LeilaElysee]

yeah.. 6 albums worth of LB material alone and it's this one

[@slash196]

There are a lot of details to the part, cool to see how he plays it.

I recently started listening. Because a kid name max got on stage. And sang. ( it was incredible)Then I saw old pic of Wes. I really 100 percent thought he was possessed. Had that red paint head looked scary . Then I see this guy. It’s crazy

@@truth_you_dont_likeOh, we noticed.

[@themodernguitarist]

I has my supicious and yeah you're right lmao, it's literally just the original track, guitar and all. Was wondering why it sounded extremely Recto-y even though it's supposedto be a VH4. Really misleading shit right there lmao

probably why hes gives zero shit in his face for this lol

lmao thats fucking hilarious.

🤷​@@sbrave2

[@00ELDuderino00]

Absolutely. My band wants to do a cover and after I checked some videos and Ultimate Guitar tabs I fohured out slightly different versions and I'm not totally sure if any of them fita the original 100%. Now as I saw Wes himself had put this our right now I was like "woooohooooooo" just to be disappointed that it's without the actual sound. 😢

[@HeyLook287]

Bro whoever eidted this just learned how to edit from a couple YT videos and tried literally every effect they could fit in.

[@meltdown5211]

was looking for this comment

"finally i get to see how he plays every single note up close... i guess this is just a quick video intro.... dude... screw it. pause and check the comments."

lmfao, right? they had to spice it up somehow. wes is bored af.

[@enriquepastor3626]

And it’s always on the vids I really want to focus on some details… Mf won’t let me pay attention haha

[@phillipshoemakr]

hey come on now thats a little bit harsh. i did notice this as well but we gotta try to be nice come on now yall

[@DavidIkuori]

How you can put a PLAYTHROUGHT without the live sound to prove how it sounds???

[@elponchex]

Careful when playing with these plug-ins. Don't forget that limp bizkit played Rollin' on top of the twin towers on september 2000 which led to them falling exactly a year later due to irreparable structural damage caused by such a sick and dope guitar tone. Handle with care.

[@charleschi843]

I like you.

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

True

[@Desecrator6]

The limp is too heavy for structural steel... impressive

[@georgefischer2205]

I was actually September 9th 2001

[@elponchex]

Well, i can never remember thr year clearly, but here is my funny story about 9/11. I lived in Uruguay, and Between the first and the second plane a friend came home to rehearse and we are looking there at the TV and he said "they are saying it was Fidel Castro"😮. And my father just laughs and says "naaahh, poor Fidel!"😂 ... Good times. EDIT: It was actually not such good times. The whole day MTV was replaced by news coverage from CNN. MTV in the latin american version! Like, I'm all the way down here in Uruguay, what the fuck do I care.

[@TheSkeptic_1]

Wes is criminally underrated as a guitarist. Even if you don't like LB, this motherfucker can write a hook. I wish there were more Black Light Burns!

[@Bobby_sprinkles]

The whole band is underrated as musicians I think. It's a testament to them as a band and as musicians that they can still be popular now.

[@LanningKann]

They put songwriting over noodling for the sake of the song. All of their tunes are bangers. Even the haters secretly jam to these tunes in private. But as musicians, they are all way more capable than what they do in LB.

[@MattyMorrison-cl3wh]

@@LanningKannhaha, no. No we don’t. But I see STL tones and I click.

[@hagridsbeardguy1399]

The ‘Borland Bend’ is pretty unique ngl I could pick those bends out of a line up if I had to 😂 I like that the plug in emulation of his fuzz pedal is called the ‘Big WEZZ’ haha. I use the Big Muff Pi on Bass and it’s hands down the best sounding fuzz pedal I eve ever owned.

[@euronymous6520]

Man, you have Wes Borland over, looking sharp as ever, make a signature plug-in for him, and you have him play this? And not even using the sound of him playing through the plug-in? He has such an unique style. Check out the song he made for League of Legends called "Hybrid Worlds" for example. That would be perfect for this video in my opinion. Guess they went with "Break Stuff" because that is one of Limp Bizkit's most recognized riffs... You da man, Wes Borland!

[@8Junio76]

If you think Borland is underrated, well it’s because of this.

[@Yoshi-Mooch]

He wrote this song easy specifically so that fans could play it. He said so like 20 years ago.

[@endezeichengrimm]

@@Yoshi-Mooch Wes is a humanitarian.

[@sidvicious332]

I have never heard he's underrated. Those who know, know. If anything, his art work is what's underrated.

No aprendiste nada

[@Hiei999]

Been a LB fan since it wasn't cool, and it is cool to see them picking up steam lately. Like Deftones. Never understood the ire.

[@humb1s3rvant]

The ire is they don't have any more hits. That was the whole reason they were there in the first place. I'm 42. I like the original shit for nostalgia, but they haven't produced any bangers since. Industry offerings are shit and the landscape has expanded and changed so much, nirvana is now classic rock! That doesn't matter because it's overplayed on radio and everybody streams what they want. I'd rather listen to metal on KZbin than buy an album from some bygone group. LB can't survive the internet era, nor can Stained, Korn, or any of the other bands who were awesome then but suck in comparison nowadays

[@Hiei999]

@@humb1s3rvant I am not talking about right now. But you make good point. I am talking about how I am the only one in my group of friends (my band mates) that enjoys LB. And I have for a long time, it seemed to be the cool thing to hate when I was young, and still is viewed that way. Noted tho, I felt the same way about LP when Minutes to Midnight dropped. I completely stopped listening to them (and they were my favorite band as a 12 year old). Korn is tough for me, cause I hated everything after their first record. As you pointed out, yeah these "legacy" bands have failed to create new bangers and also keep up with the changing musical landscape that is the tsunami of new artists and sounds. And I think you can understand why they would play it safe with their sound, and continue to just nostalgia-bait. They can't afford to alienate their fanbase/income. Touching back on LP, I am actually stoked they are back and like what I have heard so far. They aren't truly doing anything different, however, they are getting streams, talked about, radioplay, etc.

Well that's because it uses two

[@Jeedan]

you could argue it uses microtones, since the riff doesent sound right without the proper bends

[@whoshotya117]

Good tone, how does the plugin sound though?

[@joemama-lo4tb]

U didn’t hear shit 😂 this is just the studio track with footage of him playing

[@Hoscitt]

Most underrated/ original player of his cohort

[@SovereignKing]

Oh my days… how did they not get Wes to do Hot Dog? It’s one of the heaviest and grooviest riffs of all time, innovative as hell, and the clean parts are cool af. Would have covered all bases! (Great to see Wes getting the praise he deserves though!)

[@MikaTarkela]

There's a couple of downpicks at 0:12 but they are not audible in the video :o

[@SlowdiveSpaceStation-l8l]

Used to be a massive LB fan, discovered them in 99' when I was like 8 lol. Say what you want about Fred but everyone else in the band was extremely talented. John Otto is tight, Sam is a great bassist and Wes is a genius who is severely underrated.

[@g.koch.]

Even Fred, early public attitude aside he's a great frontman, can sing, rap and scream.

[@Gordolatigazo]

this tone its like a kick en the head, i love it

[@deletado12]

Great artist, insane groove. Songs like "Lie" of your band Black light burns is always incredible.

To me - one of the best ever done it! Not just the technical wanker, but his ability and skill to make these killer rifs and bangers! I love how minimalistic it kinda is, but still so great. And that how he picks up that.. looks so badass. Great song! Gets me going everytime!! 🤘

Borland is a Beast. Even with a smile riff like this, he adds little complexities with his embellishments. Hope he does a few more play through. Would love to see him play some of the other songs in the LP catalogue

I'm pumped you guys did this collaboration but any other damn LB song to show off your awesome plugin would have been better!

[@JamieSlays]

This plugin is sick I loved making a video on it! If you want to hear actually how it sounds check it out

[@SWEGTA]

It'd be cool if you just had Wes jam with the plugin and do some improv stuff. He's great at that, and it'd be a great way to give a really sick demo of your product.

[@abunai.j]

I haven't bought a plug-in in a long while, but I'm glad I picked this one up. It sounds great, and it's markedly different from every other one I own - in both how it sounds and how it feels to play. It's got a lot of focus on the cabs and speakers, and that offers a ton of flexibility.

[@Griuofficial]

Great guitar tone, thanks🔊🔥

[@nicramtimzs6245]

Ron Swanson accepts no bullshit - one song, one chord. Period.

[@Glitterfoxstudios]

Wes is one of the most talented guitar players. Watching him bored, playing a one powerchord song, is like watching Messi acting as a ball reacher.

Awesome! Glad to see Wes showcasing it. Who better than the man himself. I just can't believe how accurate this capture is to get that absolutely perfect iconic Limp Bizkit guitar sound. Guess I'm going to have to add this to the collection.

[@Elriuhilu]

This is clearly just the studio version of the song and not his playing. There's even a few bits where there's a guitar sound in the song while he's not touching the strings.

Damn, of all the bangers this man has written and they picked break stuff?

[@LRM5195]

It's so crazy to see these guys (and others) 20+ years later playing these songs, looking a bit older and "wiser" (hence the mustache).

I remember seeing the video for "Holy Wars" for the first time in 1990. Had pretty much the exact opposite reaction that I'm having watching this.

[@ZblockWoW]

So simple, yet sooooo good. 🤘🏻

[@NickSwe]

amazing it is just two chords and the seconds is just a small part of a bridge section, otherwise it's just one chord the whole song yet it sounds dynamic af, and the chorus riff is quite interesting. I'm jealous cause when I write songs I can't help but complicate things, it is a skill to make great songs without having to put a hundred notes and without sounding generic either.

[@The66Leadfoot]
