What a humble, humble dude. Such a great and underappreciated guitarist.

For me Borland is on of the greatest guitarist I know! He has is own style, not like every musician these days... Just go listen to every delay parts in LB songs, or riffs like Hot Dog, Gold Cobra, My Generation bridge, and more and more... Proud to like that kind of artist who's playing music for him and fans and not only for money and popularity!

Yeah has his own style and a great personality....he's a real artist to me creating all these great riffs and sounds...and the artworks on the album covers and on his own body in all those shows...a very creative guy for sure!!

Probably the most down to Earth rockstar ever.

Wes gets prettier and prettier the older he gets. ❤

I agree he ages well but tbh he's always been a handsome devil.

Well deserved award. His riffs are recognisable from the very first note. I always admired the sheer power Wes (and the band) can deliver and how everything serves the actual song. Whenever I saw them playing, there were all the other bands doing their angry stuff (most of them sounding like each other) that was okay and entertaining and so on - but when LB hit the stage, man it was like a raging rhino went through the brains of the audience, they went totally berserk. All the time. And it doesn't matter if it was early 2000s or in 2018. Energy is energy, regardless of trends coming and going.

Wes seems like a really good guy. Would never guess by watching this guy here that he was the same person I used to watch back in 98. Seems like a normal guy well spoken and mature. People just grow up , sometimes.

One the most humble human beings I’ve had the pleasure of knowing on a semi regular basis because of him and his wife’s cat recuse organization.

Wes deserves to be recognized as a master.

Well deserve award.

Hot Dog is what I think of when he describes the suction thing. Love it!

Wes your a great guitar player. Hillsboro High School in the house lol my brother went to school with ya. I love your costumes. Keep up the great work. I have not seen you guys since 99’. Nashville / Bridgestone Arena. Still got the ticket stub.

He comes across as humble and not an arrogant dick. Totally different to his persona thrashing that guitar. I love musicians like him. We all have mothers who were like.. no your not doing that! Down to earth.

Wes....I'm so with you.... its like a push and pull syncopation between the bass, drums and guitar. I am 61, been playing guitar most of my life and just found you.....It is amazing how much I identify with what you do and the sound pallet you use to express you musical soul. AND.......Without any doubt, you are the most visually creative musician I have ever seen.....amazing. Thank you!!!! Are there any plans to tour in 2021? Do you guys have meet and greet tickets? Dude.....new fan, deep adoration, blown away.....and extremely intelligent. it is obvious to me that he is hyper aware and clear headed..... Big Borland Fan Here!!!!!

Limp bizkit is West Borland.

And Fred Durst, who's not the greatest artist but brought these great artist together around him

Awesome artist I remember him from Douglas Anderson 3-d art class he made a cool metamorphic sculptor of a VW bug evolving into a roach, I've been a fan ever since.

My ears pricked up when he said Carcass - and Death 'Human'

The solo for "duke lion" was pretty fast indeed ha ha

Some people are saying that Borland is humble. Perhaps. I would say that Wes Borland is authentic. Honest to himself, honest about himself. Which makes it worth listening to him. I am always willing to listen, when Borland speaks in an interview. And I suspect that many people are feeling this way about him.

Now all his costumes make sense, he describes hearing guitar riffs like seeing a character

Yep. Death - Human is the magnum opus of the metal music.

A true guitar legend that is not well known in the Metal Genre. He's 100% a true musical genius and just kills it on 7-8 string guitars.

Super underrated

He's a true artist in every sense.

Such an amazing musician and artist. One of the best. Love his work with Black Light Burns.

Web Borland is a true artist.

Love Wes!! all his work!!!

A great guy! His costumes are outrageous!

Dude looks like he's on his way to a home depot

Wes is a artist more then anything!

Never heard of any of those bands music but I love Wez's music.

deym didnt expect wes is listening to carcass and helmet, he is very talented more respect!

this video sounds like the intro of gold cobra

LB had a lot of potential ....unfortunately their lead singer held them back. Sad. Wes is such a cool dude.

legend!

I wish I could see Wes Borland in a collaboration with Tool. Man I can only imagine if Adam and Danny make some next level time signatures and Wes goes total crazy along with Adam! All I can think is the amount of anger on the riffs they'll put.

Very interesting.

I love how red he turned at the end when he said maybe next year haha

Wes is awesome :)

Love Wes's guitar playing but never heard him do an interview before; he's completely different to how I imagined him, seems a very cool guy. Looks a little like Martin Freeman too :p

This dude. intense

this guy is a walking art

Wes's weird tapping and scraping... The droning repeating melodies that were inspired by Les claypool... The huge simple epic riffs. He is the riff God and the riff master. It wasn't Fred it was Wes that was the main driver for limp Bizkit's success!

Nope, they both needed each other . But Fred was a whole diff presence on the stage that helped garnered the attention that they received.

Now this is a nice guy from the US music industry. (Please don’t let this comment age badly)

L biskit was good because of Wes, not fred.

Eckhart V I was a teenager when LB was all over the radio and I used to think Fred was a cool dude...and honestly he was a great frontman but then you grew up and notice his lyrics are weak as fuck....the band always sounded good. Fred should had hire a ghost writer or something....he never evolved.

Durst is the man with the vision. Without fred bizkit wouldn't exist. It's freddurst band he's the leader.

Frankly, and I say this as someone who recognizes that Durst can't write very well, the band would have gone nowhere if it weren't for him. Not just because he was the perfect face to attach to the band in the '90s, but because many of the decisions and directions that took the band to the height of popularity were ultimately made by him. Wes was a major part of the sound (as evidenced by how weak Results May Vary was compared to all of their other albums), but Fred was the one who orchestrated things and kept the band moving forward.

Vereh noice

Love Wes... Easily one of my favorite guitarists. Is it me though or does he look a tad like Jim Carrey, lol.

I think he is the only talented member of Limp Bizkit. If you have not listened to his side project Blacklight Burns, I seriously recommend it. Especially the first album. So underrated.

John Otto is also a really good drummer. Nobody gives him anywhere near enough credit.

I always thought he played the guitar like a percussion instrument. Interesting and unique style separates him from many

Hay... Your kinda good at metal

Hiding some embarrassment at the end because there hasnt been a new record yet .

He has les claypool tendencies on his geetar

wes borland make me love LB, mike smith make me hate LB

I said this on another channel... Wes is beautiful. I love his eyes and his lips. Seeing this video I would say he needs to whiten his teeth. It's easy to do. (Sorry... Wes is eye candy, so he needs to prep himself for that.)

Primus sucks, Wes! I'm sorry! Probably one of the most overrated bands ever; Nirvana is up there, too.

Nobody accepts him. He's definitely not a metal guitarist
