Actually you're not so wrong, Wes with his riffs is the soul of the band, the others are also great musicians but Wes inevitably stands out with his style.
@nonsoloRasatura94 I'll give Fred credit where its due. If it wasn't for his charisma and his stage presence. LB may not of been as big. His lyrics might be cringe and his vocals aren't the greatest but Fred's character and charisma help massively. Plus, I heard Fred was behind the production of his music videos and a lot of them are really good. Especially Break Stuff, Take A Look Around, Sour, Nookie, Rollin and Eat You Alive. So I don't think Fred desveres credit but I do this everyone else in the band (especially Wes) are really talented musicians
The thing about Wes is that he could write all these tight, punchy, dope ass riffs and manage to play them perfectly without fucking up while he would go wild on stage. His stage presence/physical play style along with his sound wrapped up in a mysterious and freaky costume on stage Is a whole other element to Wes Borland that makes him such a badass player.
I've seen them several times, including a free show with Cypress Hill in Dallas. He built a brand within a band, we always knew LB was holding him back. Extremely talented with a unique style and stage presence. However BDF was a let down, we were expecting this revolutionary thing idk why. I want to add that he was genuinely my favorite musician to chat with. and he spoke to us for an hour while his bandmates were on the bus with my friends girlfriend. Not a train,, Several other dudes gfs went on that bus too, I don't wanna single him out like that. We had to sneak under the fence near their tour bus. Wes gave me a budwieser that night. So did Kid Rock but he was too drunk to have a conversation with. ..and who knows? maybe they did bust a train on her, I was hanging with Wes.
I was in elementary school when LB was big. I've been listening to them a lot recently and noticed their riffs are great. I'd say Wes Borland is underrated for sure. You have some good picks here.
In was in middle school when they were getting big and yeah I’ve been listening to them a lot lately in the last month lol I guess it’s just the typical subliminal messaging or something but yeah I seen them quite a bit back in the day they still slap
3:22 At this point as a fan, 30 years after forming, you're just happy that these guys are still on speaking terms, never mind still performing and putting out new material. But to come up with an arguably top 5 greatest riff of your entire career at this point is genuinely incredible. The Out of Style riff is absolute 🔥🔥🔥
I love that Fred is playing into the boomer 80s old man persona. It's so funny, Fred and LB were their own style and yes it is amazing to see the band together, atleast Wes and Fred (idk the rest of the members). I'm sure it helps not touring nonstop for decades
The It'll Be Okay noodle three minutes in was one of my favorite Borland riffs to play ever: th-cam.com/video/pEu5QxYtemE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5HAbRrD2U1BjrjG3&t=190
this is why Limp Bizkit sky rocketed way back 90's (well, until now)... it is because of damn unique riffs, finger styling and delay! best riff for me is 9 Teen 90 Nine 🤘🏼

Wes is by far one of the most expressive guitarists of its time, delivering precise riffs... And I am not talking about shredding, but about energy and heaviness. It's like heavy poetry coming straight from the amps that punches you right to the face not to knock you out but take you down and make you want to get up and thrash around.
recently discovered this weeks back, been one of my favorite vids to drum to, love coming back to this limp bizkit as a band have inspired me lots, especially wes' guitar work and john otto's funky asf drumming
Borland is a massively underrated guitarist, I've said this for years. If he was in a better band he may well be considered one of the all time greats.
@@clothboosteryea but his name will always be tied to limp bizkit. He’s not saying he doesn’t fit it. He’s just saying he’s good enough that he could’ve been more recognized as a talented guitarist had he been in a another band that doesn’t get shitted on.
Limp Bizkit was perfect. Every member was such an integral part of the band. Wes fit Limp Bizkit perfectly. Had he been in any other band, nobody would call him underrated, because they wouldn't even know who he is. LB style is Wes and Wes is the LB style. Him and Fred, Sam, John & Lethal were the perfect blend.
You might be the most accurate player I've heard playing LB both tone wise and note wise. Props man, mad props. What amp and cab and all that do you use for this?
Wes borland is a genius, authentic in his techinique and effects, there is nothing like him. A great guitar player is not that one who plays thiusand of notes but that one that makes good song
When I first saw this I thought it was someone tattooed with palm leaves all over their body!😂 Kinda wild idea if you live in the tropics. Anyway, these riffs are played awesomely. Always thought Limp Bizkit were hokey, but Borland's riffs can't be denied.
focusrite saffire -> reaper DAW -> Ignite Emissary for the amp plugin -> ignite nadir for some box sim (i prefer something with V30s, such as the mesa oversize cab). Then some EQ for the guitars, thats basically it

I love Limp Bizkit mostly because of Wes riffs

Same here but also because of DJ Lethal !!
Everything is good on limp bizkit,amazing musicians and Durst is a great singer as well
For me it’s John Otto and Wes together
The thing about Wes is that he could write all these tight, punchy, dope ass riffs and manage to play them perfectly without fucking up while he would go wild on stage. His stage presence/physical play style along with his sound wrapped up in a mysterious and freaky costume on stage Is a whole other element to Wes Borland that makes him such a badass player.
👆 This 💯 💪😎🤘

King of simplistic catchy riffs that get you moving. They’re harder to write than flashy stuff

FINALLY SOMEONE ON TH-cam PLAYING THE BREAK STUFF AND THE TRUTH CORRECTLY. fucking awesome job on this whole video, dude
thanks!
@@maciejstillsucks didn't you switch the strumming? wes playing down than up, you played up and then down. but your shits clean af bro!
@@mikjames182 yes, makes more sense for me that way :)
“The break stuff” 😂
Who would play The Truth incorrectly? It's a very basic riff, I can't imagine how you would play it different than that lol
3:22

Borland was so underrated in his time.
In the back of my mind I've always loved the guys riffs, they're so heavy but bouncy and fun, it's like dissonant Funk
The most underrated West Borland riffs are the clean ones. Are so unique and geniuses
Nice video!!
thanks so much!
The It'll Be Okay noodle three minutes in was one of my favorite Borland riffs to play ever: th-cam.com/video/pEu5QxYtemE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5HAbRrD2U1BjrjG3&t=190
Borland was the reason I picked up a guitar when I was 15. The riffs have always been top tier IMO nice video
That tone is killer
thanks!
@@maciejstillsucks Killer tone indeed! What setup (tuning, pickups and stack) you use in "The Truth"?
@@juzzijiiShould be in Drop B, if I remember correctly. Pickup is an EMG 81. Tone via: www.stltones.com/products/stl-ignite-emissary-plug-in-bundle
I love how wes uses the bar ,he is a master
Incredible riffs, it's really what makes Limp Bizkit work!
this is why Limp Bizkit sky rocketed way back 90's (well, until now)... it is because of damn unique riffs, finger styling and delay!
best riff for me is 9 Teen 90 Nine 🤘🏼
Limp Bizkit was a really unique band. I think "Three Dollar Bill Y'all" is a classic album of that era right up there with "Adrenaline" and "Korn".
Wow I was listening to Limp Bizkit today after about 10 yrs and you release this!! The universe is listening yaay !
I guess it is :)
Algoritm is called
Universe, NSA, Google. All the same really
@@Handlenamewastaken :D
No... thats google... Google was listeningv
Wes is certainly an underrated guitarist. His playing can be harsh and gritty, but also beautifully melodic.
One of my favourite Wes riffs is in "My Generation" after that mellow bridge and before the last chorus.
who gets the blame?
Nicely executed Sir. Makes me realize the true reason I fell in love with this band so many years ago. Great heavy riffs
thanks for the comment!
his riffs are dope for their style

limp bizkit as a band have inspired me lots, especially wes' guitar work and john otto's funky asf drumming
thats cool to hear! :)
dude that was so tastefully done, well done!! superb work and tone was incredible
Finally a few deep cuts. Wes is a riff lord and super creative with the whammy and effects, you did them justice \m/
Out of style and Hot Dog are his masterpieces. I've never heard someone use a whammy any better.
Lmfao watch hail the apocalypse by avatar then . It will blow you away! And also very simple like Wes
@@brianfleming9734 pretty nice but just doesnt hit me the same way wes riffs do.
Really great playing and amazing riffs!
thank you!
Borland is a massively underrated guitarist, I've said this for years. If he was in a better band he may well be considered one of the all time greats.
That's BS. He fits well in limpbizkit.
@@clothboosteryea but his name will always be tied to limp bizkit. He’s not saying he doesn’t fit it. He’s just saying he’s good enough that he could’ve been more recognized as a talented guitarist had he been in a another band that doesn’t get shitted on.
We wouldn’t even know who he was if it wasn’t for limp Bikkie
He plays very simple riffs, mostly power chords so I dont see how he can be mentioned as one of the all time greats
@@Razdwatrzy9 Should check out his own band, Black Light Burns, showcases his skill far better than Limp Bizkit.
That was great. My favorite riff of theirs is the main riff from Boiler.
Limp Bizkit was perfect. Every member was such an integral part of the band. Wes fit Limp Bizkit perfectly. Had he been in any other band, nobody would call him underrated, because they wouldn't even know who he is. LB style is Wes and Wes is the LB style. Him and Fred, Sam, John & Lethal were the perfect blend.
Now i understand why a love this band so much when you listen thoses riff it's heavy
🤘
is it just me does the audio sound like it's a touch behind the visual? - love your work btw
Maybe It's because it was shot in 25 frames?
Wes Borland is a genius. Solid tribute, brother.
Rollin' and others really bring into to light how cool LB's music is
You might be the most accurate player I've heard playing LB both tone wise and note wise. Props man, mad props. What amp and cab and all that do you use for this?
Such great playing
!!!
thanks!
Awesome stuff. Wes is the man!
Just started to learn some Wes riffs this week. Cheers for the video👍🤘
Thanks! And have fun :)
Nasty as hell dude, well done
thanks!
Maciek, killer tones brother.
that riff he has at the opening to cambodia is sick af
Wes should be up there as one of the greatest guitarists of our time!!!
With all the "underrated" comments for the past 15 years I'd say he's definitely perfectly rated.
Livin' it up must be there !
Super clean riffs!!! 😎🤙🏼
🤙🏼
yesss, I was hoping to see "Bring it Back"
I'm very amazed what synchronism has wez with Sam on bass
Wes borland is a genius, authentic in his techinique and effects, there is nothing like him.
A great guitar player is not that one who plays thiusand of notes but that one that makes good song
I agree :)
nice cover!
Love the whammy bar riffs - gold cobra and hot dog show the guy could cut some mean riffs
Out of style is such a banger
Nice sound
Wes is Bizkit
Yes ,but without Sam and John it would be a totally different thing
precise work! just keep on!
thanks!
Big fan of Limp Bizkit. Thank you for the video
Yo really love your videos!! Can you tell me the exact model of this PRS please ? Thanks
Thanks! It's a PRS Custom 24 :)
you're an awesome guitar player!!! thanks for the video! 👏👏👏
thx for the comment :)
Awesome
He is the reason behind my love for Head for the Barricade. That and the "Stick em, Stick em. Ha Ha Ha. Stick em, Stick em"
Quite possibly the greatest rock guitar player alive
You play very well.
Awesome job
Very smooth!!
nice tone
My favorite riffs are
Hot dog
Pollution
Many good but those are groovy asF
The dark fillin licks sound good
I was a Zakk Wylde fan until now. You ROCK WES!!
good stuff!
Out of style is really cool!!
:)
was wondering if THIS IS WES BORLAND HIMSELF playing his riff ..
:)
Probably not him, Wes has got n bigger fingers.
Me tooo
Impressive mate
Great job!
Wes great mr.guitar!
Nice jam 🤘
This is amazing. Id love to know the guitar tunings used
When I first saw this I thought it was someone tattooed with palm leaves all over their body!😂
Kinda wild idea if you live in the tropics.
Anyway, these riffs are played awesomely.
Always thought Limp Bizkit were hokey, but Borland's riffs can't be denied.
Awesome.
thx!
Can you please tell what is the model of LTD?
LTD TE-254 (with some modifications)
Trust? Was originally Cambodia…..my favorite
sick prs bro
thanks!
Brilliant as always.
thank you!
Bad tempo in break stuff. Good vídeo 😊
Thank Your For Tehnique Sir.
Wes jest mega.
What do you use to get this sounds? Any particular setting?
focusrite saffire -> reaper DAW -> Ignite Emissary for the amp plugin -> ignite nadir for some box sim (i prefer something with V30s, such as the mesa oversize cab). Then some EQ for the guitars, thats basically it
fuck me, that guy really knew how to write a riff!!
Wes is a fucking legend. On stage he is a beast!
Full Nelson!!!
Wow love it
How do you get the drum tracks isolated to play over ?
i programmed the drum tracks myself
Me pareció a mi o le agregaste un acorde a breck stuff???
I remember pollution day one I knew I was hooked to this band.
Cool video. What PRS model you use when playing STUCK and GOLD COBRA?
Custom 24
That was badass!!
thanks!
Cool!
Eres bueno
I was thinking WB always playing with drop tune (D or C) not regular
most of the songs are in standard tuning
Your tones are sick man
thanks so much!
Nothing like some guitar riffs beginners can play
The Priest should definitely be on the list.
