WES BORLAND On New LIMP BIZKIT Album: 'Don't Believe It Until You See It'

February 13, 2009

Guitarist Wes Borland has a message for LIMP BIZKIT fans who are hoping to see a new studio album from the band's original lineup: don't hold your breath.

Fred Durst, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, John Otto and DJ Lethal announced yesterday (Thursday, February 12) via a press release that they were reuniting for a tour and new CD. But according to Borland — who is currently on the road with his new band, BLACK LIGHT BURNS — things are far from set in stone at this point.

Speaking to Bob Suehs of Rock N Roll Experience following BLACK LIGHT BURNS' February 12 performance in Towson, Maryland, Wes said about his involvement with the reunited LIMP BIZKIT, "I'm only doing the overseas shows with them as of right now, and as far as the new record, with those guys, don't believe it until you see it. As of right now, there's nothing happening; I'm only doing the shows overseas with them and we'll see what happens." Borland also confirmed that he is no longer a member of MARILYN MANSON's touring band after hooking up with the shock rocker for a couple of shows late last year. "[Wes] said that he was in the studio and did three or four songs with Marilyn Manson and Twiggy [Ramirez, bass], that it's some of the best music that he's ever heard in his entire life and that the new Marilyn Manson material is way better than the last record ('Eat Me, Drink Me')," Suehs writes on his web site. "When I asked him for an explanation as to what happened, he simply said that story was too long to get into right now."

The original lineup of LIMP BIZKIT was last active in the fall of 2001, after which Borland left the band to focus on his own music. Borland rejoined for the 2005 EP "The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1)", but left again shortly thereafter.

LIMP BIZKIT was one of the most popular rock bands in the world in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Its first three albums have sold in excess of 20 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
