Wes Borland

The man, the myth, the creative force of Limp Bizkit...

[@timmyflapjax6354]

Most underrated guitarist of all time

[@wpxd9581]

@Brain1ndustry yea but almost no one remembers limp bizkit in this times bro

[@jameshorton3692]

I’d say yes properly rated. Anyone who follows him knows how innovative he was

[@Alterwill]

yeap

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

LIsten, I'm no Limp Bizkit fan, but to all the haters and dissers, the fact we're here talking about Wes Borland at all says something. He has qualities to his playing that are unique and he's obviously struck a chord with enough people that we're here talking about him. If nothing else, for me at the moment, I think that Yamaha guitar he designed is super cool and unique; very unique design and specs. Would love to play one someday. That's why I'm here.

[@PaladinJenkis]

Total legend, no reason to hate on him because people dislike Fred Durst (which is understandable)

[@Sclumsy]

This is why Limp Bizkit sounds so good

[@davidnissim9203]

I don’t know why people hate on Limp Bizkit so much. Sure, Fred Durst was a bit of a douche at times but Wes Borland is undoubtably one of the best guitarists in history. I’ve never heard another person sound like him.

[@Edashloco]

You said it yourself fred was a douche. You stand by shit you smell like shit

[@aisoj8151]

The goal of limp biskit is to be famous by getting hate and not love

[@jbolo5378]

Wes reminds me of the Edge from U2. They may not be SRV's or Gilmore's, but they're incredible melody and riff writers that play it tight.

[@elysharay7423]

Oh man the dawn of Limp Bizkit and Tool. Those octaves. 90s metal man. Hell yea!

[@SrinjoyRoyyoRyojnirS]

Wes Borland's distortion sounds so heavy and bassy! Idk which preset he uses but he is so crunchy and heavy! My godd! ❤️

[@g.koch.]

I bet Line 6 *INSANE MODE*

[@endezeichengrimm]

Mesa rectifiers in the old days. Now he uses the EVH 5150 amps.

[@Tommy712rus]

Real guitarists using real amps.

[@adamblister6005]

Seems like he'd fit in perfectly with Nine Inch Nails. Surprised Trent hasn't gotten him in on anything.

[@davidlizom7556]

As far as I know Limp Bizkit and Nine Inch Nails aren't really tight.. quite the opposite actually. There's a video somewhere where Fred is dissing Trent or something.

[@adamblister6005]

Dávid Lizom Trent hates limp bizkit but he is friends with Borland. Trent tried to get Borland to play with them a while back, and he mentored his girlfriend when she was coming up in the music scene. You can see Trent is now following Borland on twitter.

[@davidlizom7556]

Pete Agassi Oh I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!

[@themodernguitarist]

+Dávid Lizom Everyone in Bizkit is actually pretty cool, except for the rapper and DJ lethal.

[@adamblister6005]

Blu No Bizkit sucks ass. Wes Borland is the only redeeming thing.

[@stephenmcphillips6118]

That riff at the beginning is monstrous

[@sugarshamal]

They used the riff in the song run to the barricade eventually

@@sugarshamal Results May Vary was done by Mike Smith though.

[@_swmc8_613]

Criminally Underrated guitarist

[@stevee.oneder891]

Cause of taps and whammy smacks? Mmmmkay

[@_swmc8_613]

Barbers and guitars !! Oh and I’m sure your fit to critique guitar playing. Become a well respected guitarist and make millions of dollars and then maybe try again. I said he’s underrated. Not the best

[@stevee.oneder891]

Samm.exe just because you’re famous doesn’t mean you’re good. He writes stuff I played when I was like 14 🤷🏻‍♂️ but if you think he’s good then ok 😂

[@RADOMIRATA]

@@stevee.oneder891 i guess mayority doesn't care how good he is, we just LOVE the way he sounds.

[@Shipwrrreck]

He isnt skilled but hes insanely creative and talented. Theres a difference between talent and skill.

[@laughs2651]

needs Maynard James Keenan

[@realtruenorth]

That would be a sick band..those two.

[@taylorbradford7853]

Lmao Maynard described bizkit as a dollar menu at McDonald’s saying just pick and choose the repetitiveness of nu metal or something like that

[@Keith85210]

Wes Borland is very good. One can learn a lot from his videos.

[@Tempest500]

I love that bit with the gargles. Remember years ago it was on a free dvd with my guitar magazine. Finally found it again on the Tube :-)

[@joelharding1586]

Definitely an outside-the-box thinker/player. Thankfully there are people like Wes that stretch and push the boundaries.

[@Scorpionbite8]

that riff was 💯🧡🔥

[@sscamaro9144]

Amazing guitarist! Super underrated

[@Timliu92]

To those who commented negatively on Wes, he is not a Randy Rhoads or EVH-type guitar player, which makes the world even better since it adds a ton of diversity to music. His rhythm playing and creative use of effects are the reason for Limp Bizkit's signature sound, regardless whether you like Fred Durst or not. Music is never about who has better chops - many 80s glam metal bands have amazing technical guitarists but their songwriting is cookie cutter material at best.

[@KrunchM]

Well said, and I completely agree on all points!

[@miletitytivadar3530]

I RESPECT WES BORLAND GUITAR STYLE,AS MY SELF I AM SONGWRITTER...

[@TheDuckseason]

Such a rich sound.

Very Wicked Amp Sound

Guitarrista creativo No se queda pegado en lo mismo Me recuerda mucho a Jhon 5

[@TheTianamen]

great guitar player

[@user-is4kd5uu3z]

Any idea how you can get those sounds 1:07 is it the amp or the effects?

[@Mickocarbomb]

If you have a tremolo unit that's floating like a Floyd rose or kahler just turn the bar facing away from the strings and slap it lightly. It's called a flutter. Theres a video where John petrucci goes into detail about it.

[@user-is4kd5uu3z]

[@comradedyatlov199]

He's also using a digitech whammy pedal ( xp 100 or something like that )

[@aibansharailyngdoh8608]

Limp bizkit is lucky to have this guy in the band. Fred you owe him many times man so don't call him a moron

[@TheRealVeigar]

So basically mash up some Claypool bass techniques on a guitar, repeat it over and over, and take out the sloppy bits. *hangs up guitar*

Wes is one of those spectacular guitarists that's in the category like jimi,dime.dan from disturbed and jeff hanneman

[@Bstonz85]

Michele Cobré you really put this guy in the same category as Jimi and Dime? Really?

[@rothkokarbine7882]

Do what?

[@brunodiaz2544]

Tuning???

Anyone know what type of guitar that is ?

I’m not a guitarists arsehole but I reckon I could identify Wes’s guitaring out of a lineup of 1000 other guitarists.

[@jeffreyrivers1983]

Is this nickleback?

[@smokinnplatez1426]

yawn not going to hate see people love him. his chops are limited is all

[@DavidDantePhoenix]

smokinnplatez Chops are not the point. In fact they're pretty much NEVER the point. If you're holding an instrument the idea is to make music... Not any noise as long as it's at warp speed. Players like EVH and Dimebag are legendary for their tone, feel, and songs, not intimidating other musicians.

[@WeaponXLive]

@Dante Phoenix nailed it. Well put.

[@realtruenorth]

Just because he is playing in a box here, doesnt mean he cant play outside that box and run all over. He can.

[@sparrowhawk81]

too bad limp bizkit sucked. it obviously wasnt his fault.

[@frankriley6060]

this guy has no knowledge of music

[@andrewpieri10]

frank riley he is by far one of the most innovative and creative guitar players of my generation and also I think one of the most underrated as well.... Your looking at it in the wrong order because creativity follows aspiration and knowledge is the last to follow......
