People love to hate on Limp Bizkit. Take their first 2 albums and name me anything that sounds like them. They were super original with clear cut identities. I'm talking about their music, not their personal life. There were thousands of Nu Metal bands back then but not all of them made it and only a few still matters. Limp Bizkit is one of them. Feel free to dislike their music. That doesn't make them any less relevant or make them less of an "artist". There's huge different between great "guitar players" and great "artists".

I worked security at a limp bizkit concert in Dallas one year in the early 2010’s. I had never seen one of their live shows before. They turned the place into pure anarchy. Never seen anything like it before or since. The crowd jumped the barricade and most of the security guys just said F it and enjoyed the show. It was incredible. I’ve seen a lot of bands play…i’d say I saw a pretty good percentage of the rock bands of the last 30 years (never got to see pantera) Limp Bizkit and the Melvins stick out in my mind as the best concerts i’ve seen.

Most underated guitarist of all time. AND he's so cool !!!

[@krisross8818]

+Vincent C Are you kidding? He does nothing that is even remotely impressive from both a technical standpoint and a creative one. He's average in every way. I think he's rated right where he should be, off the radar. He's not good and he's not bad, he's just, meh. Most underrated all time? Thats beyond a bold statement. Lets talk underrated for a moment. How about Chris Poland? Played on the first 2 Megadeth records, did a few other projects and has been playing in the fusion trio OHM for over a decade. Completely unique style, technically gifted, amazing legato and phrasing, and aside from hardcore Megadeth fans few know shit about him. That is underrated. Look up Poland OHM, see for yourself. Lets do another, Paul Masvidal from Cynic. I could also include Jason Gobel who played on the first Cynic record but lets stay with Paul. Until the past few years Cynic was disbanded after recording one record in the early 90's called Focus. They were wrongly included in the Florida death Metal scene and wound up getting booed playing gigs with bands like Cannibal Corpse. For this and other reasons they disbanded after one brilliant record. Like Poland Masvidal has an original style and approach, is a gifted technician, and a brilliant composer. He played on a Death record called Human and like Poland few outside of the Death faithful know his name. Check out the Cynic song Textures and see for yourself. I could on and on with players few know about who are amazing musicians. I hate Limp Bizkit yet I know who Wes Borland is. If you dig em that's fine, to each his own but to put the tag most underrated on him is ridiculous considering the fact that he is well known and is average in every way. He seems like a nice guy but that don't cut it in this discussion. To be underrated you must be an amazing musician who few know about outside of a select fan base. Borland does not qualify.

It's not just about the passion (GnR wrote good songs but they suck) or being able to shred or playing odd time signature parts, all that stuff is cool but being able to write good songs and work with the other instruments where you're complimenting each other and benefiting the song is incredibly valuable and memorable

A lot of people say Wes is soooooooo good...and well he is good...and good doesn't always mean he's playing 157 notes per second or whatever. A good guitarist is one that can come up with original parts that don't sound like every other guitar player out there...do his own thing. Sure...it takes skill to play fast and all that, not denying that...just saying it's also refreshing to see someone do their own style and not try to copy everything else out there. He does alot of power chord type stuff...easy peasey...but yeah, he still finds ways to throw in really odd sounding parts that just fit the songs well. That's the objective...to play for the song. Besides...Wes could be an absolute monster in his normal everyday practicing life for all we know...but you have to write for what the songs allow...and Limp Bizkit doesn't exactly call for crazy guitar solos all over the place...not that kind of music.

[@Soloist1983]

The famous RG7CST, the "holy grail" guitar I saw hanging up at Monty's Music in Arizona back in 1999. Wished I could have afforded it then, but for a 7 string, I just couldn't yet justify it, as I just wasn't playing enough 7 string stuff. But man, the Vintage Violin color, flame top, double edge bridge, matched headstock, I mean the thing was just fantastic. Cool to see and hear Wes play/talk, never really got much of a bead on what he was about back then, seems like a cool dude, unique player for sure, definitely defined the sound of the late 90s/early 2000s. Wish this recording wasn't in 240p, but then I'm glad to see that it survived at all.

[@CangkulanSenar5]

[@PikkaBird]

It's kinda hilarious that Wes describes it as a great alternative for people who can't afford to have a bunch of different guitars. This guitar being a stupendously rare and expensive instrument would cost as much as five other decent guitars. I always wondered why Ibanez never put the "Double" versions of their tremolos on more guitars. The Edge Pro was even prepared for mounting a LR Baggs system into, with removable inserts in the saddles that fit the LR Baggs piezo elements, and tapped holes on the trem block meant for mounting a control PCB. I can't even name a single model that came with it.

David L none of their lyrics are thought provoking or you have only heard like two or three songs and are generalising? Because I can do the same, Metallica has a new song with the worst lyrics ever written, and Cobain crooning Grandma take me home! And moaning about the food he had to eat is ultra cringeworthy while LB have some truly amazing songs with powerful lyrics. The difference between lb and any other band that has had mainstream success is that LB have a lot of great lyrics on the unknown songs and silly lyrics on the hits, while other bands seem to get it the other way around.. While Cory Taylor wants to slit your throat and fuck the wound, and Maynard keenan sang about his dick and shitting the bed with Tool and the less said about puscifer the better... Rollin And My Generation are at least really energetic tracks and self aware enough to be humorous unlike the tragically awful lyrics on some songs by other great bands out there,

This guy was always the best part of limp bisquit and its hard to beat out a singer in that category

[@tonybarber420]

Limp bisquick

[@screechandmoan]

Damn, that's some killer tones he's got! Love his style.

[@Gitfiddle]

I’ve never disliked a band as much and liked the guitar player as much at the same time. He writes some really interesting lines

[@dannyphehe]

Interesting guitar.

[@dericketcobanez117]

I can't see where part of Wes guitar riffs makes him an underrated. This guy is cool using Ibanez with those costume as same as in Woodstock 99!

[@klistarf]

Wes Borland - nice guy, superb guitar player! Great talent. And, what a lovely guitar. Well done, Ibanez... \m/ (:o)

[@androydbadidoy3514]

His the backbone and melodies of the band, without him limp bizkit is nothing

[@joyi-nirvana6820]

Alguien podría decirme que escalas utiliza Wes Borland para sus riffs y solos?? amaría crear esas melodías tan misteriosas! gracias...

[@brayanagudelogonzalez2664]

Joyi-Nirvana Usa afinación tono y medio mas grave( de 6 a 1 C#, F#, B,E, G#, C#

[@JRP3music]

Having a 7 string with Mag and piezo outs are a very useful tool to have live.

[@Moonw12]

Don't Go Off Wandering is just Great

[@nickphillips7319]

Great video. Great player. Great band. Aren't to many around from that era that can still kick it. Loved them at Wembley 2000. Blew my hair off. 🤓

[@BrandosGirl560]

love wes i am a huge fan!!!!

[@norgepalm7315]

Wicked Killa Hatchet you look like a fan

[@eyenbrows8188]

[@RichardGarcia93]

I would do bad things for that guitar. It’s a masterpiece.

[@JackCarver10]

I would let YOU do bad things to me to lend it for a few days.

RIGHT??? I chuckle every time.

[@duncanrathband5492]

Hehe 😂 I was looking for this comment. Just you wait for a certain obscure little joint called _Rollin'_ Mr Borland! You're even gonna be gargling with that thing!

[@TheBrodeoShowdeo]

One of the greatest guitarists of all time, should be in the conversations of G.O.A.T

[@javier232]

1:15 sounds like Floods from Pantera

[@Jalliams]

Wow saw this clip for the first time, must have been ten years or more ago. Firstly, I didn't realise ibanez had a piezo combination guitar, PRS only just released their version 2 years back!! I'd change the magnetic pups maybe but I digress. Wes and the ban rawked my night about 4 weeks ago in Sydney, AUS. Great gig, an enigmatic man and moreso an innovative and creative guitarist. Just add a tight drummer to the mix, and equally creative bassist and DJ and with freedom Fred takes to the fore.

[@XavierSanchez-po1ub]

The greatest guitarrist of that era late 90's early 00's for me

[@sidneipereiradossantos4136]

Muito louco esse cara mano toca pra caralio

[@BuddhaDog93]

The clean riffs in "It'll Be Okay" are great

[@TheMuseMuseum]

amazing guitar player - wrong band

[@ejRecording]

amazing?

[@gatronix754]

i agree

[@akosnanasi883]

Wes has a lot of side projects like Black Light Burns, Eat The Day or Big Dumb Face! :) Thank me later if you didn't know any of those bands! :)

[@davidaleman6918]

Amazing guitar player right band

[@unounk9415]

Those bands went no where, so he is NOT in the wrong band, he is where he can really showcase his talent, and that is in Limp Bizkit.

[@JRP3music]

I found one of those 7 strings, I just bought another 7 string a day before. Tried to return it and get it. The stupid music store refused. I had to wait years for a Musicman Petrucci. I would love an Ibanez Universe to have mag piezo someday.

[@DrowningTimeOfficially]

guys does anyone know how he does the channel switch on 00:30 from clean to od/dist ? how is it all set up to make that change with a switch?

[@codydrinksmonster247]

he most likely has the piezo running through a separate amp, or direct into a pa. if its anything like my jp, there's a separate jack for the peizo system.

[@MilesThaMisfit]

I don’t know shit about guitars but I can listen to Wes talking about guitars and playing riffs all day

[@duncanmn95]

that guitar is CIK does Ibanez still make this thing????

[@PatrickBeaky]

no, they only made 18...and that was in 1999

[@duncanmn95]

omg that's SUCH a shame, like, that guitar is is a work of functional art

[@PatrickBeaky]

i know man, even if they did it would be over like 4,000 $ haha

[@duncanmn95]

no way, would it really be that much??? i guess that wouldn't be shocking, it's got like shit that I still never hear about, like flippin pickups in da saddles???? that's crazy

[@PatrickBeaky]

i know, ive never even seen a guitar with piezo pickups in the saddles. all the ones online, not necessarily ibanez but like prs....there all over 3000$

[@sunnyhaair]

This video is my security blanket

[@Grym0626]

Isn't dat a song from Death he was playing? 1:15?

[@victorgm4702]

Nine months later , Message in a bottle - Sting.

[@Lang7]

Wolf Gulley It’s the breakdown/acoustic segment of “My Way”, just played at a faster speed

[@sideralc13]

David 338 sounds like floods because he plays the same chords.

[@mp3098]

YOU were thinking of SPIRIT CRUSHER by DEATH

[@brendarayon21]

He's so cute, his talent gave so much to Limp Bizkit. Love you Wes

[@salame462]

Never liked Fred Durst but always liked the instrumentation in Limp Bizkit. They are all fantastic musicians. Too bad Fred Derp gave them a bad image and sucked at being the front man.

[@chrisberrymanalo]

I bought this as a 📼 VHS tape when I was in high school. Wes is the man

[@lukedewhirst3622]

I would love to know the name of the song played at 00:00 sounds dope

[@user-fk8tr5ev8q]

me too

[@atm9023]

Wes Borland and Tom Morello are my guitar heroes

[@ashtonwilkins363]

Do they still sell those guitars?

[@MetalHeadAZ]

wow he was young

[@PatrickBeaky]

+Ashton Wilkins no there were 18 or so of that model and Ibanez gave wes one because hes a fucking pro, and endorced them back them

[@ashtonwilkins363]

PatrickBeaky ok

[@mistuhjonez]

RG7CST?

[@NMages20]

It's funny that he says he doesn't use and tremelo bars in any of his songs, and now (especially in the Gold Cobra album) that's basically all he uses lol

[@andrescarovasquez5666]

3:40 name song ???

"Don't go off wandering"

[@Sigrafix]

When I was a teenager people used to give me shit for listening to Limp Bizkit.. Some of their songs were ok, borderline good.. but what I really LOVED was this dude on the guitar and John Otto on the drums.. The sound on the album was mixed so well and sounded amazing through my aiwa XtraBass disc player Lol.. Those awesome guitar riffs with those beats was just so good. I don't care what anyone says, I still like Hot Dog, My Generation, Full Nelson, Take A Look Around... honestly, I wish they had an album of instrumentals because the music itself is DOPE.
