  • What a pussy , Jim Root guitarist from Slipknot and Stone Sour is in 2 bands , is better guitarist , rocks out waaay harder than this guy and is 40 , and has to deal with the death of slipknots bassist paul gray , not only that he also has to deal with his divorce from his wife the singer of Lacuna Coil and he's not bitching , this guys is just 33 and bitching about a band break up and saying his old , smh

  • hahaha... so what's up with Keith Richards maaan

  • By this time he is around 36. And that still is not old. I like his persona, his creative directions and his music associations much more now than 10 years ago.

  • 33 isn't old. Having to relate to so many people in a demanding field will make anyone bitter. Take a year or two off and travel for a while, then come back with your magnum opus.

  • This ain't the world of sports.......pleased tell him that.

    More 22 year olds are coming out but they suck, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page never thought that......let alone the Stones, for God's sake, they're still going.

    Maybe is his band (LB) and those lame lyrics.

  • I kinda feel bad for Wes, he just seems to always feel out of place.

    I know the feeling, it sucks.

  • To tell you the truth I fucking hate limp bizkit and especially fred durst...wes is the only one I like..he's very good but he has a very un talented front man

  • i sure hope not

  • nazbuk sucks dick! thumbs up!

  • fuck it....Bizkit is my favorite band

  • @Robtron3030 ME TOO YO I LOVE BREAKIN SHIT WHEN IM ROLLIN IN MY AIR RAID VEHICULAR GOLDEN COBRA

  • now everybody will say that you was right Wes, Gold Cobra sucks

  • @LegendaryBmx Uhh dude...He rejoined Bizkit in like 2009...they're releasing their new album on the 28th...

  • i think the problem was you were in limp bizkit.

  • 33? Wow..so old -_- :sarcasm: Um, I could throw out tons of examples, but one that comes to mind is Strapping Young Lad's Alien. They were all in their 30s when they made that. Actually I think some of the members might've been in their early 40s? And that album is AMAZING. It would blow anyone off their feet it rocks so hard.

  • being replaced? there are plenty of 30 somethings in the music biz...

  • fuck that guy be scary if he wanted to

  • mission work ? for who ?

  • since when was he obsolete? i mean come on wes ur never obsolete only if u quit music will u be obsolete

  • what is he bitching about? Sully Erna from God-Smack is in his early 40's and he is rocking his heart out!!

  • wtf?? one of the worlds most creative guitar players is afraid of being beaten up by a 22 year old...? no fuckin way. you´re still the king.

  • I dont know you guys, but i hate the remax bitch

  • he sounds like Head

  • i love black light burns..... and his such a good guitar player..... Just recently watched a gig of limp bizkit and it was one the best concerts in my life WES keep it up man I'm listening......... BLACK LIGHT BURNS

  • Wow, this guy's a bumber. I think I'm just gonna, go back to bed now. Maybe finaly I'll start watching Oprah. Wait, what? That's gone too. Damn...

  • Wes Borland will be around for a LOOONG time. He even made a blog on myspace stating that the people who did that interview took stuff out of context and didn't show his whole message in the final video. WES IS HERETO STAY!!!

  • Blah blah blah! I might quit tomorrow oh shit wait! I'm going broke! Hey Fred, howz about a reunion? This guy is a self absorbed momo, but I have to admit he is awesome live.Not a shredder mind you, but very original and entertaining. He just needs to get over himself and stop trying to be so "deep". Do what you do best man! rock out, have fun and get paid n laid and shut up already!

  • AAAHHH WHAT THE HELL this is the third video in a row of musicians talking about ... about quitting their roots :O

    first burton c. bell, then HEAD from korn, and now shwes shborland D:

  • You dont have to worry about these new generations Wes, Anyone born in 1990 or later has not talent period.

  • I miss Wes Borland in Limp Bizkit. He totally rocked!

  • @UnknownGenius01 ehm dude hes back , you know that !?^^

  • Comment removed

  • Who wants to start a Paypal pool on when this guy's gonna kill himself?

  • His nose makes me want to vomit.

  • @beowulven his nose looks like your mother's taint, which was quite delicious last nite.

  • @captainmorgan789

    Only two things come out of Tennessee, son. Good luck.

  • @beowulven ah, that's original paps. trust me- i will be the one to gouge out your eyeballs and skullfuck you. oh, and don't forget about your colonoscopy next thursday!! doctor's orders.

  • @captainmorgan789

    Fucking dudes; how's that working out for you?

  • @beowulven how should i know.. you're the one getting long objects rammed up your asshole. why don't you get off here and go not have sex with a woman.

  • @captainmorgan789

    I gave your mother an Alabama Hotpocket last night. It was tight, yo.

  • @beowulven .....and then you came to and realized you were butt-fucking your border collie.

  • @captainmorgan789

    Well, she's better than your swamp-cunt of a mother. Less hairy as well.

    And on that note, you're done. I win. Limp Biscuit sucks.

  • @beowulven win?.. you just admitted you had sex with a dog. kill yourself. or actually, just keep doing what you do- the diabetis will catch up with your lard ass in a few years.

  • with his skills he could be a walmart greeter!

  • There are no one rocking harder than you dude!!!!!

    WES BORLAND, really is one of those few, maybe ten people including the entire iron maiden band, that really hasn't lost the ability to bring ever sicker riffs to this world! Don't give up. See if you're not exactly what KoRn need to gett their shit together, as long as JD gives up his R n'B-ullshit

  • what? i liked him, he was like the masked guitarist or face paint... whatever it its, and i like his flow while playing, stop saying shit man! and start playing guitar!

  • who cares

  • he's never done anything good, quit music, like anyone would notice? your only 33 get a clue!!!

  • WHY?????

  • Way coo how humble the guy is. 3 dollar bills was an awesome album. I find it funny how their ended up being sooo many Limp haters, but they've sold so many records.

    Sounds like their are a bunch of closet Fred Durst lovers. lol Bigdumbface rocked ass btw!

  • he should do it for the nookie

  • screw you mount athos, go research kottonmouth kings, they have 5 years of him on age, and over 20 cd's released in 9 years. There all about the weed, but peace, tranquility and love of nature.

  • bobafett suck

  • wes should have retired in 1997

  • @timmy723 he did but who cares

  • wes should have retired when he joined limp bizkit

  • its true wes borland should have retired when he joined limp bizkit

  • limp bizkit should have left limp bizkit after making their debut album

  • yea it sucks

  • you seriously are a poser

  • borland should have retired when he joined limp bizkit

  • FUCk you

  • you are a true poser

  • how am i a poser u dont know who the fuck i am

  • At least he's being honest about his fears of becoming obsolete.  Seems like most people would deny that.

  • i love his eyes,

    they say more than thousand words 8D

  • sdfaggd

  • man he looks alot like matt heafy!

  • wess are you stoopid

    no 22 yyear old can get a groove on

    like you do

    its rare to rare

    get a grip fool

  • just fucken quit it. don't be an attention whore and go to the media bragging about quitting.

  • what the fuck are you talking about!? limp bizkit is the shit! your a faggot! go suck a duck!

  • NOOO!!! I LOVE WES!!

    Stay in music!

  • well, he's back in limp bizkit, they toured all year and are releasing an album called "gold cobra" sometime in 2010. happy?

  • ........

  • 2:05

  • this kinda sucks. i liked borland. i think he's a great guitarist, and a good down-to-earth musician as well. maybe he's just put himself in a rut and needs to find some vice that peeks his interest in his field again. that's what got him into music in the first place, right?

  • LOOL what the fuck? He's back with Limp Bizkit now and has been since January. They've toured all year and are now in the studio...

  • This video is one year :S

  • Shut up.

  • Jeezuss......this guy needs counseling.

  • why you say that? he's a totally normal guy, his music style want him to putt original make up on his body for work.. but i relly respect this guy cause he woke up and knew that you only have to do only one thing in his life.. that's good,if he has the courage to move on and start something new again, its good. not lot of people can do that and would like to.

  • come on, no one can replace him, as there are many famous guitarists as slash...etc, they can't be repaced, especially Wes Borland has got his own charactor and style.

  • he should become an explorer n search for the 13 crystal skulls of atlantis or the holy grail

  • that's too bad..i really like his guitar playing and i think he's probably still better than younger players...

  • at least he can admit that he cant hang with the rest.

  • when did he quit limp bizkit?

  • In between 2001 and 2004 and then inbetween 2006 and 2009

  • oh, okay. thanx

  • No problem :)

  • his guitar playing was the only good thing about limp bizkit, everything else about them fucking sucks.

  • What he's going through internally is completely understandable.''he says he feels himself becoming more obsolete in the heavy rock world'' Look at it objectively:He's right.He also adds ''i'm being replaced by new 22 year olds every day,who are rocking harder,are fresher and newer and have better ideas than he does'' those are his words,and look at it objectively :he's right.Wes borland is maturing,as he's supposed to,i admire his sentiment,and self awareness.

  • Wes is an un-greatfful person if you ask me. To say he isn't friends with Fred and they have no relationship whatsoever. I mean that is the band that made him and even now there are tons of people who would love to see LB come back. He needs to step back and re-think shit.

  • they're back together as of february i think

  • jaded old bitter man? WTF? Anyway he has a point,there are always better but that doesn't mean they can become as well known as him . But a true musician is married to his music so I doubt Wes will quit so easily

  • Why dosnt he work at burger king

    that would be alot more fun than being a rock star

    what a dick head

  • psh he's needs to have more fun fuck age dosn't mean shit fuck those 22 years olds

  • Actually I think his impulse is healthy, staring at the audience full of meth heads and do-nothing pot heads must make you wonder if you could be doing something more meaningful in life.

  • @MountAthos hey jackass i have never been a pot head or meth head and i have liked liked limp bizkit pretty much my whole life. so what do u have to say about that. what is your real reason for hating limp bizkit? i would like to understand why idiots like you have so much hate towards this band.? yes i understand they are not that technical.

  • @926giants I don't hate them, they sound pretty good. I just understand that a band member might get tired of the scene, having to perform the same songs... and wonder if there is something more meaningful in life to pursue.

    I think it's healthy for everyone to want to try new things and pursue what means most to them.

  • I have a double feeling about artists qutting their passion. On one side you're an artist for life, so you quit until you die. At the other hand, bing creative in as many ways possible is the best thing to do. Passion, ambition & variety is the key, not money. But just imagine him doing mission work. That would be cool, positive and could spark a new trend of rock musicians going gospel. Imagine Marlyn Manson becoming a priest ahah.

  • he is a priest i believe of the church of satan lol

  • Cool :D

  • mid-life crisis much

  • yeah no kiddin, if he went away, i wouldnt give a shit tho LOL.

  • I don't think he has discovered enough of music yet. He has probably kept extremely true to his vision but you turn 30 or so and if you're (understandably) tired of the mainstream metal scene expand. See what you have to offer elsewhere.

  • he have played in marilyn manson to

  • long winded fuck.....get to the point

  • seeeing as he's back with LB now and they're making a new album...i don't think he's leaving music.

  • its cool u didnt!,,,

    u rocked the WerchTEr last weekend (Y)!!

  • go fuck urself borland... a true musician never even thinks about quiting, you live for that..., wish I had the chance you have faggot.

  • dude, grow up. this is life. you figure you want to try something else then you do it. it's called DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!

  • sounds like he's having fun

  • ah right that's why he returned, hm smartass?

    fckn idiot.

    lb rocks

  • Yeah I'm the idiot, but yet you still listen to drowned out wigger music. Limp sucks, get over it you fucking tool.

  • i love his style....hope he dont stop making music

  • dammit wes if you quit the music industry will cry D;.

    his one of the most talented guitarists ever

  • Saw them live on saturday at Doownload 09 pretty fucking good

  • how lond did they play and which songs? (cant wait 'till 29.06.09 -guess what I'm going to do then ;)

  • lb is great but they dosent understand much about playing insruments

  • and dosent know english lol

  • wes is pretty talented, the bass player isnt amazing but he is pretty tight and has some good influences.. the drummer is solid, and dj lethal is very talented. fred durst... discuss...

  • fred has fucking amazing scream.

  • OMG, you're not a musician, I can hear that :S ? Sam Rivers the bass player, and John Otto the drummer, are probably the best musicians in LB... Very skilled!

  • @TheDigiDrummer - Agreed. John and Sam don't get any credit for being a ridiculously tight rhythm section. They always get overshadowed by everyone who constantly is wasting time bitching about Fred's red hat, and hate LB because of something trivial like that. Also, in more recent years, Wes and Fred's bitterness toward one another. Glad they are back to the original line-up & hopefully Wes doesn't bail again. LB's not the same without him. He's not the same without LB. It's a great fit.

  • @WEEZER08274MH

    Can't blame him if he does leave again, he's got more creative genius in his one finger that Fred has had in the last 8 years. I double agree on john and sam point to, 3 dollar bill yall had the COOLEST DnB work from any band fo the 90's.

  • man! this guy needs to raise his self esteem...a guitar player can't talk like that :S

    i don't hear carlos santana, tony iommy, ace frehley or any of those guys complaining about the new generation kids playing the instrument.

    keep on rockin Mr. Borland :)

  • Black light burns was pretty decent, but nothing compared to L.B.'s energgy. I think this interview show perfectly why Wes decided to return to Limp. When you start doubting your self artistically you tend to reflect on the things that truly made you happy... Even though there was a lot of drama towards the end. Limp Bizkit always seem to have fun and energy together and their music reflected it... I glad that they're back... =)

  • dude.... no one rocks harder than u :)

  • omfg-.- HE IS FUCKIN BACK!! limp bizkit rules, black light burns FUCKIN sucks...

  • baby baby ,,, WEs PORLAND IS BACK :D CLEAR YOUR EAR MAN

  • They don't, you do. :)

  • Limp Bizkit is back with Wes motherfucker!!!!!!!!! :)

  • he's back? hell yeah! :D

  • bullshit, wes. you are not fooling anyone. come on, seriously, wes quitin'... yeah right...

  • son spaßt...erst sagt der er findet limp bizkit hammer und dan wieder nicht......und jetzt is er auf einmal wieder mitglied

  • echt ey -.-

  • lmao, this is so inaccurate it's not even funny.

  • he sounded like a bitchy billy corgan for a minute

  • this should be titled wes borlands opinion on his place in the music industry....score 1 for shock and awe good job Artisan News

  • They are back together..him and bizkit. They are doing the download fest with korn..winning a load by the votes for fav band..bizkit has 2million + votes..korn has 1 mil..then killswitch engage has 2 thousand..so yes..people care. They havent announced shit in US..they dont want to until they make the album..which they are.

  • i think he's tired of doing the same old things. he wants to try something new. get's nisecure bout his age.

  • thats kinda sad:(

  • what is that song in the begining

  • nookie

  • Nookie

  • Wes was incredible w/ bizkit now that hes back we got the whole crew

  • the only thing he needs to do its return to limbizkit at thats it money and fame again

  • lmao, good luck.

  • good news for you cuz' there back together... so tough guy put yor money where yor cocksucker is bitch LOL

  • Are they? I haven't heard anything, until I just read your comment, so nobody must give a shit. But seriously, if it's true I challenge them to a gang brawl with bottles and chains.

  • he as return to limp bizkit and e not see why you are saiyng ass band

    Limp bizkit was one of the greats band in 1999 2000 ....

    LIMP BIZKIT RULES BRO!

  • Wes is also doing guitars for jonathan davis' solo album. So thats pretty cool.

  • Everyone in a band goes through this. Be patient, please!!! <3

  • What WRONG with him?!To much DRUGS....maby hi become a "NUN"?

  • how come slayer never went through what he's going through?

  • limp bizkit is his home. welcome home wes

  • WES IS BACK?????O.O

    I thought this video said he was gona quit...? :s

  • HE'S BACK IN LIMP BIZKIT! =D

  • wes borland and "obsolete" will NEVER belong in the same sentence

  • Boreland got bored.

  • i love how self-conscience he is. Everything he said is very true, most artists release their best work at younger age and then they get stale...

  • What he needs to do is take a break and go live life. Then he'll have more material to work with and his passion will come back, because if you only do one thing for so long, you get burned out.

  • After I saw this video. I knew he was going to go back...

  • if God wants u 2 go, follow wat he sed

  • WHO?

  • never quit.

  • he has so much tallent as a musician and artist it would really be a shame and a waste of talent if he stoped .... plus im not really into the newer music coming out .... idk i miss like the 90s stuff ... and 80s.... and 70s... haha ...but 90s the most ..... ramble on

  • According to Wikipedia, Wes has rejoined Limp Bizkit and plans on touring with them this year. Also, the band should be releasing a new album sometime in 09.

  • the unquestionable truth part ???

  • boy, someone wants attention

  • saw black light burns in concert several months back, on tour with sevendust...... and to be honest they where terrible....at least compared to limp bizkit and whatnot..... and wes is known for guitar.... but he didn't even play guitar for them..... so like wtf lol. He also got in like several fights with people in the audience, but maybe he was having a bad day or tour idk lol. Oh yeah and LB for the win

  • This interview makes me seriously sad. Wes was 100% the reason I started playing guitar. He's been my hero since I first saw him. To think that he thinks about quitting music makes me seriously sad.

  • And his body painting...He andJeff Hardy

    make me start with it to.

  • Please come back wes, we all love you. Play your shit, I want to listen to it. You are the inspiration I am playing the guitar!
