@@WES_5150 Fred gets a raw deal all the time. That Woodstock 99 documentary was a disgrace trying to pin the riots on him. Also the whole toxic white male narrative they pushed was bullshit too . You get any race of young males and yes females in environment like that with alcohol drugs shit going get crazy. I’m not down playing the sexual assaults I’m talking about the partying and destruction that went on.
He is selfaware and puts himself down the scale of guitar players. Kids can play their tracks meanwhile good luck playing Yngwie Malmsteen or Joe Satriany things ... He is good but not that good.
@@batmanmotherfucker most punk guitarists are VERY capable-- The Clash, The Damned, Dead Boys, 999, Generation X, Husker Du, Replacements, Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, Dead Kennedys all had great and very capable guitarists-- even in the new style of punk there's some amazing guitarists like Chris Flippin from Lagwagon, Stephen Egerton from the Descendents and Brian Prietus from Pears. And they weren't always "simple is better" kind of guitarists either.
It sucked, the only time I got to actually see the "lb" live was when Wes wasn't in the band. I feel like I got to see Fred flip everyone off for an hour to music I loved in 5th grade.
For me, Wes was the sound I was drawn to in limo bizkit. Simple yes but that’s not bad. He did it well. He would go hard then transition to some ambient spacey sounds. I loved it.
He's actually kind of dick lol. He's not very nice to his fans and openly despises the success of their (LB's) own songs. because the ones he likes to play live, aren't the "popular" songs of theirs. Also, he blocked me on Instagram lol. After i asked him why he was making fun of his fans at the time. A guy told Wes he was his fave guitarist. And Wes literally told him to F off lol. Nice man..
I never could stand LB especially when I was in high school when they were huge and you couldn't get away from them. But I always respected Wes B. the guy bleeds creative talent, and I liked that he always pushed the boundaries with music, and experimented in ways others were probably afraid to.
Wes looks and sounds great. An intelligent man who put 100% of his creativity into his performances. Love hearing him speak so intelligently in his interview. Thank you Wes!!
Gotta respect what they accomplished. Serious Hustle and dedication to performance. I cringed fir 20 years thinking back about limp bizkit but fact is a saw Wes come storming out in the stage and got goosebumps. Unreal how that works
Amazing....that you don't need to be a maniac to be a true artist like Wes. It is refreshing to know a kind and human side to Wes B. Well done. Keep the crazy fun artistic side rocking.
@@bumpylemon you're right he says they are all characters and concepts he made and came up with. Saw it in another interview. I got a pick from him in 99 hes super awesome.
This is my 3rd FULL WATCH THRU of this interview...johnny...I can't understand how you aren't LITERALLY leading podcasts that have anything to do with music. I've been here since the beginning and will STILL be here when you hit a milli
When i was 8 my dad had just got Significant Other in the mail and i intercepted the package not knowing what the CD was, this was 99 or 2000. Wes's eerie blown out ambient passages paired with Lethal's turntable modulations shaped my whole artistic mindset as a kid. i just always thought of some dude in bleach white adidas running around late at night through a disgusting new york city neighborhood like a cover from the Goosebumps book series.
That Detroit house is insane. The whole block is unreal. Massive old mansions adjacent to some of the gnarliest pockets of the dirty D. I used to drive passed it quite a bit on my sales route.
I used to wash windows in the neighborhood Wes lived in its crazy. Theres like 3-4 blocks of really old huge houses and then like the worst parts of the city are right next door
Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish albums was two most important albums of my life espically when I started my heavy metal journey in early 2000's. Wes travelled to INDIA in 2006 and played a small gig in NEW DELHI to promote his Black Light burns record. I was in the front row and watched him closly. His playing style and riffs are super fun to play and is a hugh inspiration for me in picking up and learning guitar. I wish to see LIMP BIZKIT live someday, I just hope they play in INDIA soon.
I loved the bit at the end about pulling people up on stage one of my favorite concert experiences was when I saw CKY in Scranton. The lead singer was having throat issues that night and rather than cancel they pulled people up from the crowd the whole night and had them sing everything. It was one of the most "punk rock" things I've seen. The whole crowd loved it they even played some songs they never did live.
Wes is a huge inspiration on music for me. Chocolate Starfish came out my junior year in highschool. Limp Bizkit and the Deftones made me want to be a musician.
I love how Wes dressed so classy for this but on stage, well, that's a completely different story. 🤣🤷♂️ Love Wes, such a humble guy and underrated as hell, in my opinion. 🤘
Yea I watch the hour long set on RUclips alot, it's absolutely amazing, the energy you can feel through the TV. I was 16 at the time so they were massive along with korn and stuff even here in Scotland.
Had the pleasure of helping Wes' cat rescue at his Detroit House over a period of two years; it was a 6500sq ft mansion. Fun times. Was super happy he recorded a couple of solo albums, BigDumbFace2, and finally released the Eat the Day & Goatslayer demos at his house (Edison Sound - his basement studio).
He's so underrated when making list of best guitarist throughout the years not that I care about list and I'm sure he doesn't. He's living his best life doing whatever he wants to do and the one thing I'd love to have is a piece of his art.
I usually don't have the patience to watch podcasts entirely, but this one was really good! Had some good questions and Wes seemed to enjoy himself being on the show.
Awesome interview Johnny... you're getting better and better man, props to you. Wes is such a cool guy, always entertaining to hear his stories and his kickass riffs. I started watching your podcast because I'm a huge A7X fan but now its really because I'm a fan of you as a podcaster, keep them coming Johnny!
Hearing Wes Borland speak on Primus/ Les Claypool makes me so fucking happy. This is such a great interview, and the title is absolutely appropriate! Great work man
I know he's been less than warm to the idea but good God more Black Light Burns PLEASE!!!! Those albums inspired and influenced my own music so much, so many good memories, I can't overstate my love for those songs
A lot of guitar riffs from the nu Metal scene are very easy but , a lot of Wes riffs are not that easy and very original compared to other nu Metal bands. As an musician myself I also think that his riffs are so original and creative that they may „easy to copy“ but it’s a complete other level to come up with those riffs. He has his own style , his own color, u can’t use parts of his style without sounding instantly like him, and that’s like the biggest goal of every songwriter. He is a true artist
@Alec_Kablam I remember that I just wanted to have a guitar with a tremolo to be able to play like him and than I crushed the entire bridge on my new cheap Ibanez back than because I hit this thing way to much 😀.
Imho the most unique, unbelievably skill, humor of an other world, sympathic. One of the most interesstzing artist alive. Thank you Wes and hug your guys from LB GREAT
Awesome interview. Watched the entire thing. Wes is so original and talented. Limp Bizkit gives some of the funniest concerts ever. If you've never seen them live do yourself a favor. I'm so pumped that their touring and might be coming out with new music!
Yes, they take themselves way less serious now. Seen them 5 times in NL. Last time, the ground floor was one whole moshpit 😅 Tho, they barely play songs from their first album :(
@@thanhhuynh2044 I agree, $3 bill y'all was absolutely incredible, it wasn't as catchy as the other records but it was definitely their heaviest. I remember I saw them in like 99ish on tour in Hartford Connecticut. I remember them finishing the show with nookie and confetti being blasted from the ceiling. Everybody was moshing hard but happy as f***! It was surreal and something I'll never forget. Dude I'm 40 and I've been to a s*** ton of concerts. The energy in that building was electric. Confetti's raining on us I felt like I was in a music video, lol. Plus, now they like to screw around and do a lot of good covers too. They put on an amazing show!
Love the answer to the Woodstock question !! I was there the riot started when they gave everyone candles during the RHCPeppers show at the very last day …
I can't wait. I love gold cobra and hope it's more of that but even better. It's crazy bc I haven't listened to limp Bizkit or followed them since chocolate starfish back when I was a senior in high school. Then a few months ago I just had this itch to listen to some 3 dollar bill which led me into listening to the rest of their albums that are on Spotify. I never even knew gold cobra existed and I have been listening to it all the way through multiple times since while at work. It just reminded me of first listening to them back in 8th grade and being so pumped for significant other. Man they really are a good original sounding band that doesn't deserve all the hate.
This conversation made me pause the video and look up whatever they we talking about more that anything! Awesome tips! Love all the Wes stuff outside of LB and Speed of Light is awesome!
I play the drums and honestly Was is why I picked up so many tricks with bands and with my style. The way Wes plays it makes you want to get up it grabs your attion the man has inspired so many of us to keep playing learn grow make it your own you know. He is the living carnation of letting your instrument be a part of your soul. Thank you Wes
Always found this cat interesting and cool. Great player so underated. Saw big dumb face in San Francisco @ small club called slims March 18.2001 fucking brilliant night.
Great show as usual! Just regret that you missed that the new Bad Religion's drummer is Jaimie Miller, formerly from Snot. It would be a great opportunities to talk about that time period with Snot, Limp Bizkit, Hed Pe, Korn , Deftones, ..., remembering Lynn Strait and the big toilett at the ozzfest. When rapcore/nu metal was still raw and exciting thing. In Loving Memory of Lynn Strait.
I was lucky enough to see LB in '98 lex, ky. DMX and Godsmack on the bill. I was stage left directly in front of Wes.. One of the best shows I've ever been to..
Until I read your comment, I could not remember that Godsmack played that night at Rupp Arena. I was also in attendance with the giant robot backdrop for LB. I wish I could remember the costume Wes had on. I dont think DMX was onstage very long as I remember. I do remember Wes started Nookie with " Sweet Child of Mine" riff
@@robvandam5560 X only did a few songs. I was in the mix when Sully said we are not bringing this song back in till the whole floor was moshing... it was a mess, lol. Wes's outfit and face paint was very similar to what he has on in the Break Stuff video.. good times..
I still think Wes did his best work on The Damning Well track ‘Awakening’ for Underworld, those riffs are incredible, I hope Wes does start doing scores like Trent, he’s definitely good at it
I grew up in Jacksonville when LB first blew up in the late 90's playing shows in a dingy little club downtown called the Milk Bar and somehow pirating demos onto the local radio station just like in the Airheads movie! All the guys but Wes went to my high school I and related so hard to "the dirt weed" comment LMAO
Played at a place called the Spindrifter in Orange Park, Fla. during the 90's. We used to get off from our gig and go to the Milk bar. That place was a trip. Loved it.
I live in Bakersfield so we had the same thing in the 90’s with the local bands like Korn, Juice, Adema, Videodrone, and Angry asphalt machine. The dive everyone played at was called Jerry’s pizza lol. Its still there believe it or not look it up. 80’s/90’s were the best for shows and metal. Sad whats it become now but I will never give up my love for metal
@@peeweesherman yep! "The Planet" was the popular new rock station in Jax during the 90's (Planet Radio 93.3) and when he says "Terry Parker you know what's up" that was the name of the high school we went to. Also, at the beginning of "Rollin" when he says "John Otto, take it to the Mathews Bridge" he's referring to this scary ass bridge over the St Johns River that connected our side of town (Arlington) to downtown where the milk bar was
@@joew717 holy crap that's awesome info. Thanks. Grew up on these guys and I really appreciate you filling in that info. The Mathews bridge part was definitely one I was curious about too.
I thought Wes quit drinking. Anyways I always loved "Wes Riffs" , inspired me to start guitar a a kid. I really really really miss Black Light Burns, we don't have enough GOOD industrial rock bands. Cmon Wes, write a new album!

For me, Wes was the sound I was drawn to in limo bizkit. Simple yes but that’s not bad. He did it well. He would go hard then transition to some ambient spacey sounds. I loved it.
He was no technical wizard but he was extremely creative with his sound.

I was gonna point out what a great bandname Limo Bizkit is but someone beat me to it.

Dude, Wes Borland is a cool guy, super happy I watched this. Makes me appreciate what he has given us even more!
I am 48 years old Korean man and a big fan of rock music. My favourite rock guitarlist is Wes. I wish he reads my comment.
He’s pretty active in Facebook NuMetal groups. He liked one of my posts last week.
Me: This version of Wes Borland is WAY too normal.

What blew my mind about Wes years ago was learning he played jazz and was great at it during the Limp Bizkit peak.
If im fanboying about Wes, he was taught jazzguitar extensively
The nu metal era had some really good and underated guitarrists, like Wes, Stephen Carpenter, Daron Malakian and Jim Root.

BIZKIT is back I'm feeling the Dad Vibes and there Lollapalooza show was awesome🎸 🔥🤘💕🤩😈🌭
This was a delight. Thanks guys!
Great show as usual!
Just regret that you missed that the new Bad Religion's drummer is Jaimie Miller, formerly from Snot.
It would be a great opportunities to talk about that time period with Snot, Limp Bizkit, Hed Pe, Korn , Deftones, ..., remembering Lynn Strait and the big toilett at the ozzfest. When rapcore/nu metal was still raw and exciting thing.
In Loving Memory of Lynn Strait.
I did look up the house quite beautiful
20:41 I’m so surprised to hear WEEN brought up. Your favorite rockstars favorite rockstars.
Yess💜
I appreciate the host trying to steer away from covid talk. Very cool interview. BigDumbFace is beast.
The host? That's Johnny Christ mate. Hahahaha
I was lucky enough to see LB in '98 lex, ky. DMX and Godsmack on the bill. I was stage left directly in front of Wes.. One of the best shows I've ever been to..
Until I read your comment, I could not remember that Godsmack played that night at Rupp Arena. I was also in attendance with the giant robot backdrop for LB. I wish I could remember the costume Wes had on. I dont think DMX was onstage very long as I remember. I do remember Wes started Nookie with " Sweet Child of Mine" riff
@@robvandam5560 X only did a few songs. I was in the mix when Sully said we are not bringing this song back in till the whole floor was moshing... it was a mess, lol. Wes's outfit and face paint was very similar to what he has on in the Break Stuff video.. good times..
57:42 is the part where they talk about Stampede of the Disco Elephants.
This was awesome!!! Thank you for getting with Wes! Been a LB fan since 5th grade so like 1999-2000.
OMG he mentioned lighting bolt. I knew I loved Wes for a reason!
Man crazy seeing him so normal looking, I love wes grew up with bizkit
Yea I was a little taken back
Another great interview, Johnny!
Wes is an awesome guitarist and a truly genuine guy!
I was today years old when I found out Johnny Christ has a Podcast 😂👍🏻
Same lol just found it myself
Same 🤣
Wes the legend
Legend right there
this new LP is so cool, maybe i dont like all songs but in general i do like it, great work!
Wes Borland is a true artist through and through.
I actually checked out Speed of Light after watching this and I have to agree, super solid! Thanks Wes!
CREATIVE DUDE! ... in another life he was the new Stan Winston of FILM.
I still think Wes did his best work on The Damning Well track ‘Awakening’ for Underworld, those riffs are incredible, I hope Wes does start doing scores like Trent, he’s definitely good at it
Only watched this now but what a wholesome interview! Really looking forward to a potential part 2 in the future!
I grew up in Jacksonville when LB first blew up in the late 90's playing shows in a dingy little club downtown called the Milk Bar and somehow pirating demos onto the local radio station just like in the Airheads movie! All the guys but Wes went to my high school I and related so hard to "the dirt weed" comment LMAO
Played at a place called the Spindrifter in Orange Park, Fla. during the 90's. We used to get off from our gig and go to the Milk bar. That place was a trip. Loved it.
I live in Bakersfield so we had the same thing in the 90’s with the local bands like Korn, Juice, Adema, Videodrone, and Angry asphalt machine. The dive everyone played at was called Jerry’s pizza lol. Its still there believe it or not look it up. 80’s/90’s were the best for shows and metal. Sad whats it become now but I will never give up my love for metal
Same milk bar he mentions in Indigo Flow? "Danny at the milk bar, Terry Parker. Dive into the planet..and God..I LOVE YOU!!!!"
@@peeweesherman yep! "The Planet" was the popular new rock station in Jax during the 90's (Planet Radio 93.3) and when he says "Terry Parker you know what's up" that was the name of the high school we went to. Also, at the beginning of "Rollin" when he says "John Otto, take it to the Mathews Bridge" he's referring to this scary ass bridge over the St Johns River that connected our side of town (Arlington) to downtown where the milk bar was
@@joew717 holy crap that's awesome info. Thanks. Grew up on these guys and I really appreciate you filling in that info. The Mathews bridge part was definitely one I was curious about too.
I thought Wes quit drinking. Anyways I always loved "Wes Riffs" , inspired me to start guitar a a kid. I really really really miss Black Light Burns, we don't have enough GOOD industrial rock bands. Cmon Wes, write a new album!
This is great, Wes has a really warm and charming way about him. Very talented man also.
