That's true.... the new Limp Bizkit album sounds great because he's part of the band now.. I don't know hoe Fred Durst thought the band could do without Wes.
It's funny. Back in the days, I was a Limp Bizkit hater. I loved Deftones, Tool and A Perfect Circle over all, and hated mostly the rest. 20 years later I am studying music production and I am realizing that some of the best guitar compositions of this era belong to Wes Borland, especially played clean. Thank you for the medley, a year later still rules.
I was that kid that got punked and laughed at and hated ok for banging bizkit. I fkn loved them back then, and still love them now. Fk the haters, LB are revolutionaries
Wes' composition is a lot like QoTSA imo - They're soooo unique, there's nothing to compare it to. It's like they grew up on a deserted island with no communication on the outside world and made a new thing to show the world.
I always used to think he was just a gimmick. But I think I get him. Maybe like Buckethead, these costumes let him be kind of anonymous and do his thing. He's just a regular dude, quiet, with a lot of talent. It must be nice to be a hugely successful musician, and be able to live your everyday life in relative anonymity. That's how I would want to do it too. I also just found out he's a low-key watch nerd like me. I was watching a bunch of LB stuff and looking up Wes costumes/pics on Google and saw a variety of nifty vintage watches that I know weren't set pieces. Watched the vid mentioned, where he's going through all the gear he was selling and was like, word? Wearing the exact Tudor on my wrist. A lot of these analog interests go hand in hand.
I've recently been rediscovering my love for Limp Bizkit. I hadn't listened to them much since I was in high school (in the early 2000s), and I had totally forgotten how awesome Wes' riffs are. Glad to be getting reacquainted!
Same, just put them away because I thought it was some douch band af first after hearing all the popular songs. Starting to find out how intricate all their songs are!
A mí me gusta Fred pero entiendo también tu punto aunque para mí se complementan,escuchar las melodías de wes borland sin voz puedes apreciar unas melodías oscuras y le da un toque diferente y mágico
Even tho I hate Fred's vocals he is actually a great producer among other things. He have an ear to music but sadly doesn't have a voice for it. People talk lots of s--t against him but fail to realize that without Fred you would actually not have anything out of Wes, because Wes usually comes up with random things from which lots of is tone deaf nonsense that barely anyone would actually bother to listen to and needs someone to actually direct him into the right way. This is also why Wes most times had arguments with who ever he worked with. (minus the times when he is on medication and actually lets others take directive). Wes solo projects speak for itself. They are either a parody as he call it but even the ''serious'' ones are nothing much then a bunch of nonsense that sounds like a 5 year old jammed out on his dad's guitar rig ... He have a talent but also he needs direction and someone who will bother to mix down wtf he jams out. Without that there is no music. And back to Fred, honestly he is a good frontman just wish they got an actual singer in their band, to balance everything out perfectly. Sort of like in Linkin Park they had Chester who brought actual singing to the table while without him the frontman Mike or wtf is his name would struggle to keep the band together just with rapping and they would not last at all.
as a kid with a ruff childhood limp bizkit was my jam and i remember feeling the loneliness in the music and especially the delayed guitars made me feel understood, as strange as it may sound for some ppl here. i really love wes man
@@n.j.crawlerconsider the massive number of guitars that he sold off - Wes had a ton of them. I’m saying you can tell this one was special out of all of them based on the wear.
I'm a metal head, I love all sorts of metal such as Industrial, Death, Mathcore, Hardcore, some djent, Nu metal in my young days, anyways I'm not sure why but something about Wes Borland riffs make me feel all warm and gooey inside..hahah Never been a huge fan of LB but I always loved Wes Borlands work. I was happy when he did his Industrial side project (which I miss very much). Like to see him make another BLB record. Wes and Dino Cazares inspired me to pick up guitar myself and yes I was a 90's kid. I miss that era in music.
That's cool to hear! I'm a big metalhead myself, love hardcore, thrash, death ... Borland is one of my main influences, but theres also Kerry King, James Hetfield and others
That’s a really great way of describing his riffs. You kinda just want to lean into them and let them melt over you like butter? They’re so unique and pleasant to listen to. Never get old.
To me, they feel nostalgic and they bring me to place that feels familiar but doesn’t exist. Don’t go off wandering is my favorite out of all. It sounds haunting
I can't beleive the comments. In the 90s limb biz kit were considered one hit wonders because their music all sounded the same. This kind of sound is real easy to emulate too you just map out the scale on your fret board and play random shit until you get a melody or chord progression. It's what van Halen did and it's what 90s nunmetal guys did.
Limp bizkit had a unique sound that i loved...being a huge Metallica fan i listened to the hell out of limp bizkit from 1999 to 2003 still put on a few songs today...Wes Borland is an amazing guitar player
Buddy, your guitar sound is so perfectly BANG ON! I can't believe you managed to buy his own guitar! Oh and I'd love an extended version of this ;) Subbed!
Wes Borland is so creative, I'm glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves. I loved limp biz kit as a kid then got into punk and hardcore and shunned them and now I kinda am reliving my love for them
Very cool! Agreed with top comment, Limp is very misunderstood; instrumentation has been next level since day one. Wes, Sam, John and even Lethal are majorly underrated.
It's a real shame Black Light Burns was disbanded. Was an absolute masterpiece, where Wes had complete freedom of creativity and his style really shined in blossom
It's just crazy to own that guitar!!! Those pictures are dope!! One of the best and highest selling metal CDs was written on that guitar!!! Amazing and justly so that you can play it perfectly
Tu gères !!! J étais avec lui sur la scène hellfest en 2015 , quel souvenir , super mec ! Je suis fan depuis si longtemps que c était un rêve éveillé. C est lui qui nous a fait rentrer sur la scène . LIMP BIZKIT ❤️
I am obsessed with Wes’s clean tones on every album. What is great about Bizkit is even despite the sometimes immature ass lyrics etc, the music is what kept me coming back. Borland on guitar, Sam who I think is one majorly underrated bass player. Have you all heard the bass line to “You Bring Out The Worse In Me” Such a sic song, with Wes’s harmonics and other guitar portions of song just sic. Definitely inspired by Jane’s Addiction no question and I luv it. Then we have Otto on drums killn it as usual and DJ Lethal brings such a cool element to the band as well, but yea Wes Borland hands down a huge guitar inspiration. I think their best songs are always the one’s where Wes is playing cool ass clean parts alongside to also then some gnarly heavy distortion. Songs like “Walking Away” off Gold Cobra, too good. Cool video man🤘🎸🤘
I've started thinking of Fred Durst as an instrument rather than a singer. His lyrics are mostly ridiculous but somehow it works into the songs perfectly
Wes borlands highly underated and like all guitarist should aspire to be he's very unique. Awesome tones btw, makes me wana get my fx pedals back out for that atmospheric landscape sound.
for livin it up and hot dog (among other tracks), the delay is set to 493 ms and chorus period to 500 ms with a chorus length of 2.0 ms. there's also some slight reverb and auto-wah
I love the guitars he used during this era. I have a 2005 PRS CE 24 (black with gold hardware), which I think is similar to the silver one he had around this time.
wes style reminds me of a talented bassist that just started discovering chords. he plays with a lot of rhythm and single line melody like a bassist would
No Sour and Stalemate? Man those are two of Wes’ best riffs. I will always love Limp Bizkit. I will always view them as a fantastic melodic rock band that was saddled with a very below average vocalist who was WAY too forced into media fame. If you listen to the instrumental tracks of Limp Bizkit with Fred’s vocals mixed out, those songs are awesome. A talented and lyrical frontman could have killed with those songs
I have always loved Wes Borland's style. His melodies are so mesmerizing. Great work man 💯
Absolutely agree! Thanks for the kind words :)
You should chec-check them out then!
I’ve always thought they were haunting. Especially Boiler and Don’t go off wandering. Love those songs
@@asianmanfromasia I can definitely understand that!

@@Jay_Kayy well, I didn’t bully anybody 😅 just preferred other bands. But it is good for me to understand them in 2024.

Thanks for the comment and the kind words! Wes is definitely one of my biggest inspirations.

Same, just put them away because I thought it was some douch band af first after hearing all the popular songs. Starting to find out how intricate all their songs are!
Check out the paraguay live concert from a few months back. Still got it!
Same here
1:14 Wes is severely underrated and when the vocals are taken out of the equation the Limp instrumentation truly shines!
Yeah, he is super underrated!
I feel the same, the band behind Fred is what I’m listening to he’s tuned out
A mí me gusta Fred pero entiendo también tu punto aunque para mí se complementan,escuchar las melodías de wes borland sin voz puedes apreciar unas melodías oscuras y le da un toque diferente y mágico

It'll be ok should have been an instrumental
My favorite Borland riff has always been "The One" so groovy, simple, vibey and beautiful.
One of my favorite songs
love that song, takes me to the sky every time
as a kid with a ruff childhood limp bizkit was my jam and i remember feeling the loneliness in the music and especially the delayed guitars made me feel understood, as strange as it may sound for some ppl here. i really love wes man
Same, man.
Yeah man
I never realized how beautiful Boiler was underneath all of the heavier elements
Bingo! Boiler all the way..
7❤🎉🎉🎉
Wes is such a unique guitar player. Absolute legend!
Cool medley, love a LB clean delay medley. Wes borland is a legend
he is!
One of the most underrated guitarists of all time 🤘🤘🤘
absolutely agreed
lol...nope
jfc everyone says this about everyone now.
Helps me understand why I love the Bizkit so much!
Glad those guys didn't care much about the haters and got their thing going❤
My inner world just resonates completely with Wes’s melodies.
Dude used delay so good even the recognition of his genius was delayed.
Genius? Lmao!!!!
Great job playing this Medley. You did it justice. Wes Borland created the most catchy riffs that made you feel like you’re in a different time.
Thanks so much!
Well said dude. I've never heard it put that way, but yeah...his melody feels like they are from an alternate timeline.
@@Al_Gore_Rhythmn true!
Im listening with my headphones and its soooo satisfying, i love it!!!
Your tones are so on point. Perfection! Much appreciated man!!
thanks!
Limp bizkit are a severely misunderstood band that were not ready to be taken seriously by the general public.
I mean, they were the biggest thing ever in the late 90s-2000s
It kinda became a joke further down the line but there’s a resurgence for sure.
Musically maybe...lyrically they're kinda silly
Different lyrics and vocals to Wes’ epic guitar work and who knows what they could have been.
Limp Bizkit could have been a lot better without Fred Durst. That dude had some serious negative impact on both the songs and the image of the band.
@@clives681100 %!
I love all the time he has invested into this guitar. You can tell by the marks on the fretboard.
I'm sure the guitar has seen some things :D
Weird that someone who plays guitar as a profession played the guitar…
@@n.j.crawlerconsider the massive number of guitars that he sold off - Wes had a ton of them. I’m saying you can tell this one was special out of all of them based on the wear.
@@mikeg05488 no you can’t. Lol
They had such a good guitar player.
I keep coming back to this incredible playthrough of sick songs. So well played thank you mate
Very ambient, cosmic even.
thanks for the comment!
OMG... they sound so difficult, yet they are so simple. :O
Thanks man.
thx for the comment :)
Thanks, I always loved these parts of the songs. Nothing like it.
That Boiler part is plainly one of the most beautiful guitar harmonies ever created
For me wesborland is the greatest guitarist of nu metal

One LB song with delay is Creamer (Radio Is Dead) and Sam Rivers played the guitar for that track and also Lonely World and Down Another Day. 🤘🤘
super nice tracks!

Some of the most fun riffs to play cranked to 10 with a full band.
Cheers to the God of Delay! 🙌🏼
and Cheers to you Master! 🫡
and cheers to you as well!
wondering compilation ! very good job !
thanks!
Nailed them ALL!

In your opinion, why does Wes Borlands delay feel different to other people? Is it the settings or what
Duuude could you do some full-length versions? I'd definitely rock these at work. So good.
I have a lot of different full length covers on my channel, feel free to check them out!
Omg so emotional ... thanks bro now i can 😅 learn all of these becuase of u

When you hit the chords for My Way, I was wondering why it sounded so accurate, then I realised you are actually using his guitar!
Gościu uwielbiam Cię! Jako wieloletni rodzimy basowy Limp Bizkitowych coverów! :D
Cant stop watching this! Wes is so Psychedelic! Please do another one & make each song abit longer 😂😁🎸🤘🏻
will do :)
Wes, Master for progressive Riff's. Love it since and today.
I'm way too lazy to figure out all these delay settings, but I wish I was not ! I love how he brilliantly made it part of his tone.
wes style reminds me of a talented bassist that just started discovering chords. he plays with a lot of rhythm and single line melody like a bassist would
Great stuff man, thanks
Yes is a great guitarist !
Livin it up definitely amazing. My personal choice.
No Sour and Stalemate? Man those are two of Wes’ best riffs.
I will always love Limp Bizkit. I will always view them as a fantastic melodic rock band that was saddled with a very below average vocalist who was WAY too forced into media fame.
