That usually happens when a talented musicians keep playing on a musical genre that does not emphasize their instrument (Even when metal is about distorted guitars) . Look at John 5, he started having more recognition as guitarist once he did his solo project, but still keeps a low profile and many people doesn't know about him.
@@mandovid really it’s a lot of the nu metal/ industrial metal guys, which just got me thinking how ironic that nu metal has some of the most tasteful and reserved riffs and metal history lol
@@uniwertz True but as far as I recall the early 2000s, peopled liked LB because they were loud and in your face, and Wes Borland, because he was the crazy guy in a costume, not for his playing. Sure he had a big part in their sound with his creative playing and sick riffs but that went unnoticed for many people, they just wanted loud and offensive music you can blast out on your stereo.
@@DoNuT_1985 totally agree. People are just people. An ordinary listener is a mediocre musician^ he can only feel it. Costumes, millions of full stacks, fireworks, fake blood and glitter is a "music" language for ordinary people. On the flipside, unqualified (or untalented) musicians couldn't reach the minimum level of quality for streaming services.
Fuck that. Maynard is a lazy tool who's too busy running his winery now to put out music, and when he does it just sounds like more trimmings from the APC albums he put out 10 years ago.
followfornothing fun fact: Wes was offered a chance to be in A Perfect Circle and Nine inch Nails but went on to work on his band Black Light Burns instead.
This is amazing. Hate to break it to the guitar snobs in the comments. No one cares about how “hard to play” or complicated a riff is. It’s about does it make you move, bob your head, can you feel the power of the melodic simplicity. That’s what Wes does so well. It takes more skill to write a simple good song people love then some bs noodling riff you think is great.
Yup as a former music/guitar snob I totally agree. The only people that care about the difficulty of a riff are other guitar players. There's definitely a market for insane guitar playing wankery, but most people want a song that gets them moving and conveys emotion. Writing a simple, fun, groovy riff (while remaining unique) is more impressive to me nowadays. I love dudes like Brandon Ellis that can shred like hell, dudes like Luc Lemay that can write schizophrenic, chaotic riffs, don't get me wrong. But there is something special to creating atmosphere and groove with simple riffs
Limp Bizkit gets a bad rap because of Fred. But the riffs were always top notch and Wes Borland could do things with heavy music that other bands couldn't pull off.
Wes is a good guitar composer, but LB sounds like LB mainly because of John and Sam, they cover lots of Wes' technique mistakes. He plays quite loose (becuase he can't play sharp) and there are a lot of things he should improve comparing to Paul Gilbert for example, but still he has his own place in music history
literally the slightest bit of prog w distortion “oh it sounds like Tool it’s gotta be Tool it’s Tool” get real, y’all are disrespecting adam and wes at this point
How else did you find out he's an insane guitrist then bro? He always had full creative freedom in the band and his riffs have always been bone smacking in Limp Bizkit.
All those dissing wes for his playing haven't heard of Black Light Burns.And if polyrhytmic-odd timing riffs are the shit then stop listening to metallica or megadeth.Just saying.
I love Limp Bizkit as well.But BLB is just a whole new world.People just keep dissing him because they dont understand he is the guitarist of my ja ja generationn!!
Love the riff! I'm going to sample it into a song. The best part about it is the timing.. Took me a second to keep rythm. If you don't understand what I mean tap your hand or foot along with him playing. Unless you're a musician it may be harder than you think! Also, I love meth.
@@apsfpv2217 You know that Bizkit sold 40 millions records right? That's huge. And they weren't 3 years in the limelight they were the Kings of MTV since 1997 to 2003. After 2000 Wes and Bizkit got back and went underground with an Thrash inspired approach album. Listen to The Truth. Alright, they stopped releasing singles but they are still big touring. This year feels right for a Bizkit comeback.
I love the way it's just the same thing, and then slightly different at the end. What a great guitarist! Adam Jones wants his riff back. I think that was on Opiate.
uuuh, no.. the guitarist is not as bad as Fred Durst is, the guitarist is a beast but he's stuck in a band that thinks he's just a regular guitar player.
Oh my god, there is so so so much specialist and talented people on youtube commentary... Nowadays, the new Elvis Presley, the new Mozart, is not playing music, no, it's for mediocre people: he's making commentaries about the lack of talent of other people.
@@gS0yeUE0udz7d Vincent C was talking about how all these commentors think they know better than actual musicians and just "know better" in general. Let's say those are the "haters," and I referred to the ultra-fanboy type, who would be the opposite and also in the comments. (Edit: I confused about what it is you're telling/asking me.)
+nroks wow Ive always said that but no one believes me. Wes and Adam have such similar playing styles which honestly is the only reason I still listen to LB
One of the more underrated guitar players in the world.

Imagine if there was a new supergroup formed by Wes and Mudvayne bassist Ryan Martinie.
That would be a match made in Heaven!
That would be incredible
Br br deng
@@remickunderwood515 Matt Garstka from AAL?
And Aaron Gillespie from under oath on drums
That would be so badass!!!!
Wes needs to do something Maynard because his style has really shifted more towards Tool and A Perfect Circle.
I also feel that riff is sort of A Perfect Circle-esque haha
holy shit, the thought of those two combined, fucking hell haha that'd be amazing
Fuck that. Maynard is a lazy tool who's too busy running his winery now to put out music, and when he does it just sounds like more trimmings from the APC albums he put out 10 years ago.

@@BobPapadopoulos actually you have to wait for your band members to write music before you can sing on it
This is giving me Tool Aenima vibes. I like it.
same here
Boy is a riff machine

That shit blows..... sophomoric attempt at music

This riff is terrible lol
Sounds like a riff that I'd love to hear on The Unquestionable Truth, Pt. 2.
it was. He played it at a guitar center demo for a few. Its on youtube somewhere. The version he played there was WAY better

that was like the simplest riff ever.. did sound heavy and very Limp Bizkit-y
Nice profile pic, one of the best albums i ever bought
could be a riff from Adam Jones.
First thought hearing it was tool
Yup
it could have been John Cena’s first words as a toddler
literally the slightest bit of prog w distortion “oh it sounds like Tool it’s gotta be Tool it’s Tool” get real, y’all are disrespecting adam and wes at this point
No doubt.
Wes was always the double-take factor of that band, to make you notice the rest of the great talents in the band
you missed fred lol.
@@jibicusmaximus4827 we missed nothing lmao
Such an amazing and underrated guitarist
I personally liked the way it sounded. Kinda a stoner rock, Nebula,Egypt vide! Then rolls into a Tool/APC very nice!
I swear Wes is the king of riffs
I hear that big guy.
he is one of the best riffmen and totally underrated, but the supreme riffman is tony iommi
dude doesnt get enough respect, one of my inspirations guitar wise since i was like 13.. im 35 now
Sick tone!
Love it!!!!
Wes has the trouble of being an insane guitarist stuck in a band that doesn't show that hes an insane guitarist
Like John 5 in Marilyn Manson. Wasn’t utilized like he should have been but maybe it works with MM music
Kinda the same as Jim Root
Wes has the trouble of being an insane guitarist stuck in a band with a guy that doesn't know he is an insane guitarist.
How else did you find out he's an insane guitrist then bro? He always had full creative freedom in the band and his riffs have always been bone smacking in Limp Bizkit.
@@ShivrajKarkera91 but the band itself didn't have a great reputation back in the day, so Wes didn't get much attention.
Adam jones is that you?
The Grudge
nah this riff isn't in D, LMAO
Awesome tone
All those dissing wes for his playing haven't heard of Black Light Burns.And if polyrhytmic-odd timing riffs are the shit then stop listening to metallica or megadeth.Just saying.
I love Limp Bizkit as well.But BLB is just a whole new world.People just keep dissing him because they dont understand he is the guitarist of my ja ja generationn!!
Your girlfriend is alright for someone who don't know how to solo. What a shame!....
Oblique Sustain megadeth and metallica have odd times in some of their music, but I agree, he definitely pioneered that heavy “riffage”
Oblique Sustain - This shit is weak sauce, dude.
I don't think that anyone in their right mind would stop listening to Metallica or Megadeth
amazing
Sounds like a Tool riff! Good shit!
Jeez, this lad has some fury in the veins. O_O
This will be my entrance song when i become a WWE wrestler
chunky, chuggy, groovy! Like it!
Limp Bizkit own love!!!
Insane 61/16 riff!!
Fucking beautiful guitar
I guess you guys weren’t ready for that yet, but your kids are gunna love it
That's dope
Fat Limp Bizkit riff right there, yes please, feed me more!
Yep. I'll add to that - definitely sounds like Adam Jones from Tool.
It's like a heavy-sounding A Perfect Circle.
urra!awsome🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love the riff! I'm going to sample it into a song. The best part about it is the timing.. Took me a second to keep rythm.

You mean the time signature changes.
Your love for meth, explains the love for this riff.
I don't know that I really love clear. Afterall, it makes your balls smell really weird sometimes.
Weird fuck
You're an idiot...
Wes SupeR‼️‼️
Monster of riff 👏👏👏 sounds like brazillian band "Fruto Sagrado - Quase"
This sounds like something straight out of the track "The Grudge" by Tool.
That was fucking nasty omfg I love that
T00L
nice
Dope
Dudes a living legend
Not really. Legends don’t fade off after 3 years in the limelight

Jesus loves you guys so much. God is with yall through all of your problems
That would be a signature riff of his.

O-3-5. The shit outta that one
Makes me think of 46&2
ths guy's a genius
The guitar is cool
Wes Borland and Adam Jones would be awesome in a room together.
ugh-- vito bratta plz come back
FUCK YEAH!
My first guess would be Tool but...this is the guitarist from Limp Bizkit. Just take a second to wrap your mind around that.
uuuh, no.. the guitarist is not as bad as Fred Durst is, the guitarist is a beast but he's stuck in a band that thinks he's just a regular guitar player.
Wow
Waiter, I'd like to order that tone, extra CRUNCHY!"

On the other hand, you have the opposite...I just saw a commenter say "Wes is way above Tool and NIN." Freaking weird.

@beep boop "We know better" about what? Better than who?
“WoW”
how do you make a sound like this?
groooooooove
Can someone tell me how to get those kind of warm filthy sound? What Amplifiers, pedals he's used?
My momma taught me: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"
Wow does anyone know what guitar his using ??? Brand ?? Model ??
Toolish🤘🏼🤘🏼
so heavy
Totally ohsem!
Fuck yea
Almost sounds like the bass opening and verse for We Light It Up. Early version maybe?
❤️
Anybody know what kind of guitar that is?
Complete adam jones vibe on that riff for sure
That's that shit I like...
sounds like tool
+nroks wow Ive always said that but no one believes me. Wes and Adam have such similar playing styles which honestly is the only reason I still listen to LB
nroks sounds exactly like early tool
@Narf well Adam has been shit for the last 20 years now so...
@Narf you just said that Limp Bizkit is better than Tool.
So I'm basically not a moron
Unquestionable truth 2 scrap
sleaze king
That's it? I really expected something a little more monstrous. I like Wes as a player but this isn't a "showcase" type riff.
Exactly 🧐
Agree, very simple & anodine riff
@@franfernandez4040 it doesn’t have to be technical to be monstrous….
yeah it s a joke really
I dig it. Ita got a nice groove
Can anyone tell what the song is??
Single handedly carried the band
I can't see how monster is the riff is
This is the riff the guy your friend brings over plays and expects you to just find a beat to.
Monster? That's the tamest thing I've ever heard
Nu metal aint nu anymore. Now classic metal movement rising.
LOVE THIS!
la guitarra de shauntrack xdxd
Looks easy enough
The prong guitar
I know you well
you were a PART OF ME
Wake me up when its over, OK?
I can hear the whole song
is that a tool song
Working with Fred is stifling.
Monster riff? That's like saying King Kong was as big as Godzilla.
Meeeehh!
Sounds like Tool ahould borrow this
Very toolish. Sounds good!
Music please 😓?
Heavy as fuck. End of story.
