Jackson Live: Wes Borland from Limp Bizkit at Sonisphere, UK 2011

[Trepidox]

As much as everyone says they hate Fred Durst, Wes is friends with him and they're in a band together. Fred's not a bad singer, imo. His rapping isn't too bad, either.

[Fontoker66]

I'd listen to them if they were an instrumental band. Fred is just annoying.

[skylord081]

Do they even play a guitar??

[treverpitts]

Limp Bizkit new cd its pretty heavy

[JasonGuitarHand]

can't spell awesome without WES!!

[badabumbadabing1]

Limp bizkit minus fred durst is just awesome

[browneye870]

I honestly had no idea that Fred Durst was still alive.

[MrStangus1]

@browneye870 I had no idea Limp Bizkit was still alive! lol

[KennerzzNewMills]

i met him this day

[PsychoViking33]

Not a big Bizkit fan, but Wes is the shit.

[freshnfamous2012]

love wes!

[b24harman]

You're playing Jacksons because you're going broke. Good job siding with Fred fuckface.

[Blitzzkreigg]

@b24harman regardless of how mean your comment sounded but you're probably right. he was having fun in BLB and then suddenly comes back... sounds fishy.

[6KingCooper6]

Wes is the only member that I can honestly say I like. Fred is a fucking doucebag.

[oinkcow101]

@6KingCooper6 whats wrong with john, sam and lethal?? (i agree fred is a douche)

[6KingCooper6]

@oinkcow101 I always had the feeling that Sam and Lethal were kind of Durst's cronies.

[BKstrained]

@6KingCooper6 Exactly my thoughts dude!! Wes is a VERY underestimated guitarist.

[CommanderMeaty]

@6KingCooper6 fuck off, Sam and John are amazing

[SkratchMusic]

that warrior is frikin sick

[C46Productions]

was there, AMAZING weekend!!

[XCMajor]

Was there!!! and i met him...no shit!!!

[MoneyManHolla]

Anyone know what the start song is ?

[Kiweganello]

@MoneyManHolla Livin It Up

[spitcom]

@MoneyManHolla

the song u ask for named : livin´It up

[Obigrobi666]

ok i really think that they payed him for playing that warrior, but i saw some pictures from the studio a couple of years ago and there were a couple of jackson V's on his guitar stand

[dppopovic]

anybody know the song right at the beginning?

[RULAS41306]

@dppopovic lol yeah dude: livin' it up from the chocolate starfish flavored water album

[vomitedshit]

@dppopovic all for the nukie

[Reimix2009]

@dppopovic linvin it up :)

[BurnedFaceShreder]

o.O he kinda looks like chino moreno

[04GUITARPLAYER04]

ha thats fucking awesome they got wes in the bloodline!!

[donottawaguitar]

nice riffs

[SlavaGen]

Bye, Yamaha!

[samsite84]

@SlavaGen Jackson paid big moeny for him to use it on stage...

as for the for his Yamaha he still use it, its his favourite, and btw Yamaha guitars shits on Jackson ugly unreliable guitars.

[SlavaGen]

@samsite84 Just kidding. I like his Yamaha's, as guitar, but I don't like it's sound in LB, bit too focused and harsh for me. Just don't cover enough space.

[sinner0o]

@samsite84 Whaaat? Jackson makes great guitars.... I've owned a JS22R dinky for 2 years and I've only ever had to adjust the action on it once when I first got it set up and tighten the screw on the fucking tone knob. It sounds so nice as is to me that I haven't put different pickups in it.

[nookiezolyd]

i know why he painted on concert and on the cd cover , because he more handsome than Fred Durst.

[veeragandersucks]

limp bizkit without fred durst...good band

[ecaepevolhturt]

No matter what guitar this guy uses he always sounds like Wes Borland. I just hope keeps writing those awesome riffs.

[ERIC141520]

go back to Ibanez

[rad4462]

your band sucks

[esoklusa1]

wes is rock

[iHeartIncubus76]

@hadzi666 ty :)

[catalacheful]

[iHeartIncubus76]

[iHeartIncubus76]

[hadzi666]

@iHeartIncubus76 Livin it up

[oinkcow101]

@iHeartIncubus76 livin it up

[Kiweganello]

@iHeartIncubus76 Livin It Up

[TheAntidoteq]

@iHeartIncubus76 it's livin it up

[LzrdKng9000]

wes is real talented. i have no clue why he's with limp bizkit

[spudvader86]

@LzrdKng9000 He had other bands when he left limp bizkit but i guess they weren't as successful. Must just b the magic of all of them coming together tat really makes good music.

[AshtinALWT]

@spudvader86 Hahahahhahaha :'D

[spudvader86]

@AshtinALWT What u laughing at?

[AshtinALWT]

@spudvader86 Oh shit, I thought you were being sarcastic..

[spudvader86]

@AshtinALWT Come on, when Rollin' first come out everybody loved chocolate starfish and the hotdog flavoured water album. They do have some good songs but Wes is the real deal, he is awesome guitar player.

[AshtinALWT]

@spudvader86 Ehh... without displaying any unnecessary hating, I can safely say that Limp Bizkit has never done anything for me musically in anyway. I have tried, but I really just don't understand how anyone can find any of their music appealing. Wes Borland personally I can respect, from the limited amount I have seen him play I can tell he is not a BAD guitarist. But in the context of Limp Bizkit, it's like pointing out that a tasty ingredient was used in the making of a disgusting entree.

[spudvader86]

@AshtinALWT Well I guess we all have are own opinions and at least you gave it a listen before hating, I respect that . What! am I the only one who gets a big mac just for the lettuce? Wes is riff-tastic \m/ \m/

[severelyKILLED15]

@LzrdKng9000 don't judge Limp Bizkit just based on Fred. Yes Freds a douche. there are other band members to admire

[LzrdKng9000]

@severelyKILLED15 good point. DJ Lethal is pretty sick. i like limp bizkit, but fred is an ass

[gatoxisape]

was da noise from da background ?!?

[novagreen12]

FUCK LIMP BIZKIT !

[PikkaBird]

"I'm not gonna leave the band again" Come on, Wes, please leave. Golden Cobra is embarrasing. I'd much rather have four more Eat The Day demo tracks than four more full Limp Bizkit albums if that's the way it's going to sound from now on.

[MsElipson]

I don't understand what he says but I love to listen to his voice.

[6project6nightmare6]

Just see the crates of bud in the back, oh yeah.

[tilumilu]

''the nicest guitars I ever owned''  What about the WB Yamaha?!?!?! The he designed? Not really honest about the thing....

[Medisynman420]

LADYS LADYS relax ok we know hes now Joe Satriani or Yngwie Malmsteen or Kerry King who are some gods of shredding but Wes's crazy as costumes and his insanely whacked out rifts make him his own unique type of style which either you like or you dont just stfu and give the man some props!!

[DeathMetalA7X123]

omg he looks so normal and he looks good :)

[netzainal1213]

Jacksons are for shredders right? Just askin... =)

[MrMarkphillips132]

wtf wes has fucking a creative mastermind unlike shitty bands like trivum, and those crappy metalcore shit, wes is a truly a artist guitarist!

[DDKFILMS]

@MrMarkphillips132 Thats ridiculous. although i don't really care much for the metalcore genre, Matt Heafy from Trivium can play the guitar like a madman. He can play some amazing stuff, Check out the roadrunner united stuff he did. Its incredible.

[MrMarkphillips132]

@DDKFILMS i agree aswell matt is a psycho! but i really dont like the majority of roadrunner bands since like early 2003s or so, i dont mean to bash mat i met him hes really cool :)

[Godsmistake13]

i got the black soloist guitar in the back round

[ljubes]

ibanez,prs( wee awesome),and then yamaha(signature so okay) and now jackson?wes wtf

[rottinq]

are those the Nick back to the future shoes? 

[rustedembrace]

Whats the tuning for this six string on the new record?

[fatso1ification]

Just came back to check. yup, Wes still sucks.

[saadsnake6]

He looks like mortal kombat's QUANCHI

[disturbedbass49]

2 and then one... before and after

[Toby5000]

Why is he dressed like a pint of Guinness?

[Jackson666fan]

thumbs up if you hate rap metal

[LAURENZLAURENZLAUREN]

I can't image that the wes in the white shirt and the black wes on stage are the same person

[ionutmiti13]

Fuckin' love you Wes ! :D



[shuszzam]

i thought limp bizkit no more already

[hunter115nni]

i love his outfits of gold cobra music video

[fatso1ification]

Hey Jackson shouldn't an endorsee actually be good at playing guitar or.....something kind of musical to actually endorse your product?

[JimmyKingster]

@fatso1ification So you're saying that Wesley -Fuckin- Borland isn't a talented guitarist?? My god, I can deal with people hatin' on Bizkit, but get your shit together people. Wes is one of the most innovative guitarists this generation.

[fatso1ification]

@JimmyKingster Yup he sucks shit. Your God or not, Wes Borland is an untalented slack jaw lackey for the even less talented Fred Durst. 

[JimmyKingster]

@fatso1ification So typical loser bullshit. You can't even find a reason to why you hate him or why you think he sucks. I bet he's more talented than any of your favorite bands' guitarist...

[fatso1ification]

@JimmyKingster I agree Wes is an utterly typical no-talent loser. I bet he has tons of retards like yourself who worship his lack of talent and fashion over ability. I bet you are even dumber than you sound.

[JimmyKingster]

@fatso1ification I bet you I'm way smarter than your little sorry ass who can't overlook your pitiful narrowmindedness which is that everyone doesn't share the same opinion as you. Wes Borland is a talented guitarist, and if you would've listened to more of his material (specially live gigs) then you'd agree.

[fatso1ification]

@JimmyKingster You'd bet? OK you'd lose.

Wes sucks shit. If you had an IQ greater than shit you'd agree.

[Gmaster1994]

@fatso1ification if you played guitar, you would disagree with this troll.

[LTDusersince99]

@fatso1ification Man, music is not just about playing damn fast and making some impossible legato things...if the overall of a song is good, there's no need to put ultra fast 16th licks to it, The Beatles sold millions of album with 4 chords songs...even 3 chords songs haha How many albums have you sold yet??

[fatso1ification]

@LTDusersince99 Thanks for making my point for me. The Beatles =Limp Bizkit now? Lots of people who suck sell records. 

[LTDusersince99]

@fatso1ification When you use another exemple, that doesn't mean that they're the same. But anyway, your first comment and my answer were useless to be said.

[fatso1ification]

@LTDusersince99 Your example is pretty fairly worthless. And yes knowing how to play beats being Wes Borland a 90s relic of useless posing and zero music ability. Let's put it this way the guys as you say play "ultra fast 16th (what, you mean 16th notes?) licks can play the bullshit Borland can do but he cannot do what they can.

[fatso1ification]

This guy endorsing guitars is like Jabba the Hutt selling diet potpies.

[Seniormunkee]

i smell a Borland signature guitar coming up

[DrEviscerator666]

I would hate being this guy's shower!

[TrueRattlehead]

cant he go play a dean or an esp or somethig else...

[12hu12ik]

WES U R THE MAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SOADDBZ2]

His riffs are insane

[deadman316]

On Wes as a player: I think hes great, i like his unique use of natural harmonics also his ability to come up with cool heavy riffs that still can work with hip hop style lyrics is bad ass. Just one thing... THAT IS WHO WAS UNDER THE PAIN ALL THESE YEARS!?! He looks like he works at a supermarket lol he looks so... normal

[RufMixa247]

I love how normal Wes looks in this video. hahahaha.

[Jansson33]

@kewinm1000 i dont care if they do it for the money. im just glad i can enjoy the great music the make again

[porichguitar]

Based on the costumes, and the "church pastor" look he's got goin' now, he's a peculiar individual. Love it!

[azhariwarman]

@kewinm1000 Being a 3 chords over and over has bring Borland to Sonisphere. How about you, high standard listener?

[soorooka]

I wanna see return prs cu24!!!!!!!!!!!

[kewinm1000]

YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MUSIC !!!

THIS STUPID BAND IS ONLY A MONEY MAKER, FOR LOSERS LIKE YOU ARE !

3 CHORDS OVER AND OVER, THIS IS RIDICULOUS !!!

[jimroot69]

@kewinm1000 ;-) thats why you watch it!!!! silly cunt.....i bet your a "guitar-hero pro" who got a big mouth! nevermind....go back on your playstation or whatever!

[Caillousie]

@kewinm1000 its better than this fucking hip hop so shut up and die ^^

[TheRlyNewHide]

@kewinm1000 who fucking cares how complicated a song is? Every person that thinks that a complicated song is a good song and - other way round - is dumb.

As long as it sounds great its great. And as they're making lots of money with it, it seems to sound good.

[SimonRivasV2]

@TheRlyNewHide To me if one simple chord is done right and played with passion, it can be much more effective than a thousand notes squeezed into a few bars.

[supersimon44]

@kewinm1000 is the biggest stupidest motherfucking comment ive read ever! status quo played 3 fucking chords, and so did acdc alot! and they ent fucking just for money making! they love to rock out, if u cant see that then ur fucking blind!

[graveviolator86]

@supersimon44 are you trying to deny that this guy is a mediocre guitarrist? man, is not about musical tastes, it's about fucking skills, every noob is able to play any of borland's songs, but is every body able to play angus youg solos? obviously not. I've seen borland play a lot of times and the only shit I see are power chords and a stupid half made tapping. The fact that he's famous doesn't mean he's a good musician, justin beiber is famous as fuck, does that make him a good musician?

[Michaela199ify]

"I will try not to leave the band again".... ^^ lmao

[MrAtom311]

@Michaela199ify i think its funny that he says "i wont leave the band again"right after he said that.

[revbrodiddley]

When did Wes Boreland's biggest influence become Jim Halpert from the Office?

[21stCENTURYBOY12]

So he's used ibanez, Paul reed smith, yamaha and now Jackson , that's a few:)

[ralfcaetano]

@21stCENTURYBOY12 don't forget mayones (a german company that was using last year) lets just say he's not brand loyal

[SahsEagle]

For me is Wes Borland the best guitarist =)

[Shaunapeedy]

where do i get a list of guitars he played for each song????

[DoubleDz2k11]

i love watching LB live, they put so much energy and passion into their sets and Wes, Fred, Lethal and Sam just look fuckin awesome jumping around XD

[Lubial]

he finally grow up im happy for that as a fan of him and limp 

[NathanieI87]

What happened to his Yamaha guitar? He pretty much built it from scratch himself like he wanted the guitar to be. Does he still use it?

[subfiction1]

@NathanieI87 he doesn't play his yamaha any more because it was a semi-hollow body guitar which meant it wasn't very good for playing in low tunings like wes does

[NathanieI87]

@subfiction1

what a pity. that guitar sounded great! I hope he still uses it for Black Light Burns

[ed391929]

What's the live performance shown on this vid?

[Kyrisss]

Awwwwwwwwww!!! Wes is not gonna leave the band! What a relief!!!! :)

[Ritsoz]

i actually like the design of his custom ibanez a lot better,..

but this probably plays lot better, i dont know anything about geetarz :P

[dareheaven2]

jackson guitars are shit...i never played one but their shit...

[Gambit7Beyond]

@dareheaven2 why you think their shit if you NEVER played one? i thought Ibanez was shit but when i tried a couple of them, i took back what i said.

[ntbillie]

2:36 Some random dude says 'Doucheee..'

[lpfzczep]

Ibanez, then Yamaha and now Jackson

[EpiclyConnor]

"Hi, I'm Wes from Limp Bizkit, and I dress like a normal human being outside the band, unlike the others" Nah but i love Limp Bizkit really

[tiplovelyful]

i wish limpbizkit come to thailand.

[breakingbench]

His signature yamaha u is amazing!!!

[klaudasilva]

Wes borland is such an amazing man! the past week they came to Paraguay and i met him personality, and i think he's fuckin amazing! i think LB doesnt have sense without him!

[klaudasilva]

Wes Borland the best guitar player ever, dont like it? then FUCK OFF! I LOVE WES ♥

[101hazz101]

The RR actually stopped working before the end of their last song, i still want one though

[ntbillie]

@101hazz101 Seriously? Faulty guitar?

[101hazz101]

@ntbillie i think so, its hard to tell but he throw the guitar down and walked off

[ntbillie]

@101hazz101 Oh mann..I was planning on buying a RR3 or RR5. Now I'm confused..I haven't used Jacksons before..

[101hazz101]

@ntbillie no no get one ive got a DKMG and ive played many Jacksons they are very good, ive never had a problem with mine. They are by far the best metal/ hard rock guitars you can get.

[koryyyy]

10 people don´t have a shit idea what music is like....

[sunnylee84]

didn't know Jon Hamm plays in Limp BIzkit :D

[XCMajor]

I met him at that festival he is a real nice guy!!

[89ErwinR]

+1 for Zakk Wylde.

[THCBIZKIT]

all the non-bizkit fans fucking crack my balls

[Clarinhaa]

what a lovely interview



[3Storms]

IN before ESP signs him and gets him to play a horribe cheap copy of the Jackson Warrior.

[3Storms]

Jacksons are the most player-friendly guitars I've ever played. It's a shame they're not selling more.

[Ramoa111]

Wes your return "returned" my ears back to Limp Bizkit

[lonerworm]

WAR BORLAND!

[PushThatMakesYaMove]

what's the title of that song in the very beginning?

i'm not into LB music, but damn that was amazing O_O

[PushThatMakesYaMove]

@PushThatMakesYaMove ok, that's Livin' it up

thx anyway :D

[SimonRivasV2]

@PushThatMakesYaMove Livin It Up from the Chocolate Starfish album

[theycalledmebob]

holy shit i would not have guessed thats what that guy looks like

[trezey4sid]

I WAS THERE!!!! watching it reminds me of what a super amazing weekend i had!

[dontstopthefunk100]

i thought he was playing yamahas specifiically his signature guitar the cv820wb

[ed391929]

What's the name of the guitar?

[dehumanizer21]

@ed391929 Warrior

[SDMBeta]
