      Not understanding something and disliking something are two very different things, nobody is Bizkit-phobic, and rap-metal is not art.

It poses as art, pretends to merely attempt to inspire inspiration or confusion, deep thought, feelings etc.... A bastardization only intended to inflict degeneracy onto a people and society. Even art that intends to call to mind sorrow is still art, though I don't enjoy it, is still art. I cannot call some things "art" that seek to destroy. There is a real darkness in this world that employs many methods to enter our minds.

    I was randomly served an ad to buy a ticket to Limp Bizkit live in Tokyo just one night before the show. I thought "why not" since I used to love LB when Significant Other dropped and I never get a chance to see artists tour in Japan because the tickets usually sell out months in advance. It was a fun show; Fred looked pretty funny in a big white cowboy hat but his crowd work and singing were great, and Wes looked awesome as always. There were lots of 30-40-something Japanese dudes sporting the Nu-Metal look and it teleported me back to being a teenager circa 2000. Oh, and the Japanese all-girl metal opening act was heavy as fuck.

Though I've never been a LB fan, I've always found Wes very interesting. I may have taken him more seriously had it not been for the band he played in, but I've learned more about him recently and now I know he's obviously one of those "game changer" guitarists. His artistry goes well beyond the guitar and it shows. I bet his IQ is way up there.

    Wes was such a huge inspiration to me as a young musician. Before I discovered Limp Bizkit, I thought guys in bands could only have one role- a guitarist was a guitarist and that was it. But then getting into LB and learning that Wes was not only an incredible guitarist but he was also this eccentric artist who wore crazy self-made costumes, did absolutely gnarly paintings and also had bizarre custom-made 4-string guitars and stuff just blew my mind. He's got to be one of the most underrated musical personalities of the last 25 years.

    • @crnkmnky
      @crnkmnky 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not only can band members play multiple roles, sometimes their roles are completely non-musical. So many visual artists and road managers get left out of the "official roster" on Wikipedia because record labels don't see them as vital to the process.
      I'm thinking primarily of the early years of Public Image Ltd and The Human League for example.

    Wes set LB apart from all the other numetal (and really, a lot of other hard rock/heavy metal overall) for me, Im a guitar player who enjoys all genres, but with an ear for jazz and blues, although I certainly enjoyed a lot of 90s/alt/grunge/rock/metal, etc when I was younger.
    Ive rarely heard very many rock or metal guitarists be so melodic and inventive at the same time. John Otto (LB drummer)was a badass too and held the sound together really great.

They’re way overpriced, in my opinion. I was even able to get a good ‘Ric’ sound from a Hondo Flash stick bass with a Bill Lawrence OBL pickup on it. I just bought a Chinese copy that I’ll probably also upgrade with a set of Seymour Duncans. I love the look & always wanted one, but for $3k I can get a lot of good dental work done.
