You have chosen... poorly.

Huh. I didn't know Borland was playing w/ Manson.

If you're on Fark reading about a guitarist who has to choose between two bands and the better choice is the band with Fred Durst in it, you're in a bad spot in life.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: You have chosen... poorly.

Agreed. There are a handful of good Manson songs. There are no good Bizkit songs.

In before the Bizkit haters.

Whats sad is his own band was better than either of those two, he should have just stayed there

Manson is a douche though, and I bet fred gave up a lot of control to have the one talented musician back in his band.

I bet he did it all for the...

Bleh, it's useless. Never mind.

I just hope he actually will have time to do more BLB stuff. I've always been a huge fan of his non LB music. Bigdumbface being my favorite, which is actually a one man project, he did everything on the album. I got to see them live and it was by far one of the best shows I've ever seen. They were really nice guys too.

Every so often ya hear about another line-up change in Manson's act, and everytime the guy leaving gives the same kind of interview. Like he's not pissed at Manson, just kind of like a recently escaped hostage.

"Well uh... he fed me... and he... he paid me to do... things... It was all his idea!! I had no control!"

I don't listen to his music or anything, but I wanna watch a documentary about that shiat show of a a band. There's gotta be great footage of Manson in pumps and a G-string mixing a track and getting into an argument with the guitar player over his "balance" or some shiat.

About 10 years ago I went to school with a kid who help operate Limp Bizkit's site, and he talked to Wes pretty frequently.

After the things he told me about how those guys all felt about each other, I'm surprised this is happening.

Yea, wehn I saw Bigdumbface my friend and I said to Wes that this was so much better and he should just quit LB. He smirked, a knowing smirk.

The neat thing is he quit LB like 3 weeks later.

Last weekend at Jimmy's party I was talking to Fred about whether or not he would spend time on tour playing his classics or if he was just going to promote the album. Fred said he would love to play the older tunes as long as Wes can handle it. I asked him what brought about the decision to reunite. Turns it out is always about the nookie.

Wes Borland is better off solo.

Grumblecakes: I just hope he actually will have time to do more BLB stuff. I've always been a huge fan of his non LB music.

I agree with this BLB's first album was freaking awesome. So damn good and it was because of all the talent he brought in to help him, Lohner, Clouser, etc. They all made that record just damn solid yet it got no love from anywhere. I wish Wes would focus on that again and try to build his BLB band.

The LB reunion has to be all about money and that's it. They are so over exposed and played out at this point that I don't see anyone buying their records or going to their US tour.

Cool, maybe they'll tour with Metallica and get booed off every stage, again. You know things are bad when Puddle of Mudd is accepted and you aren't.

He says, "It's the Marilyn Manson show over there. Limp Bizkit is more of a band.

Considering the long list of people who have had the MM guitarist gig before you Wes, you'd think you'd kinda figure that out going in.

I'm not gonna join NIN or the Smashing Pumpkins and then get mad that Trent or Billy might not wanna hear this new totally awesome riff I wrote.

Borland has enough talent that he deserves much more respect than he gets. Durst gets more respect than he could ever deserve.

Limp Bizkit's greatest contribution to music is "Nookie" and "Break Stuff," just to provide Richard Cheese with material to cover in ironic fashion.

social benthos: I'm not gonna join NIN or the Smashing Pumpkins and then get mad that Trent or Billy might not wanna hear this new totally awesome riff I wrote.

Heh. Yeah. Maybe he can start touring with Guns 'n' Roses, now that we're pretty sure we'll never see Axl and Slash on the same stage ever again.

From the all knowing tome of Wiki (new window):

"According to vocalist Fred Durst, Borland only agreed to return to the band on the condition that their label, Geffen, agreed to support his then burgeoning solo project, Black Light Burns."

Yeah, LB may suck but I can completely understand why he would reunite w/ them if it meant more label support for his real band.

choosing between Manson an LB is like choosing between AIDS and Cancer either way ..not good.

00ghost27: [John5] approves

That guy rocks.

"It's the Marilyn Manson show over there". Uh, Wes, if you went into that gig thinking YOU were the show...that's dumber than going back to Fred Durst.

Kill them all with fire, it's the only way!

I'd go with the 50 year old too, he probably can't kick this high-

That makes sense. They can't reunite Limp Bizkit without the only remotely good thing about it.

Are people really nostalgic for LB? Have we already used up our collective storehouse of retro that we have to rehash things that happened just a few years ago?

Sin39: In before the Bizkit haters.

you're a couple post, and hours, too late. Or did you think we'd really pick on Manson over Durst?


I also just needed an excuse to post this pick of (former?) Mansonite/ex-KMFDM member Tim Skold:

Faith No More reuniting is newsworthy because they were a great band with talented musicians and original songwriting, as well as the fact that they haven't played together in about 11 years.

This is not newsworthy because LB was an unoriginal band with marginal musicians, and they just played together, what, four years ago?

That's old, and refers to the last time Borland went back.

If you're paying $5/month to post about it, your life is even worse.

How dare you insult TF! I was a member for a year and a half and highly enjoyed it. I'd still be a member if I could afford it.

I'd imagine he'd rather play stuff he wrote than stuff someone else wrote. Think about it. Playing for Manson right now, you'd be in essentially the greatest Manson Cover Band.

LB sucks only because of Durst's voice. The rest of the band is pretty damn talented and make some pretty good songs (again, sans Durst). Wes is one of my favorite guitarists of my time.

Kenthehillwilliam: choosing between Manson an LB is like choosing between AIDS and Cancer either way ..not good.

Sure, touring the country and making a shiatload of money is right up there with cancer and aids.

stappawho: Sure, touring the country and making a shiatload of money is right up there with cancer and aids.

...because both are at the peak of their respective careers?

Depends what you are after.

But that wasn't my point.

I like how the article started with "Shock Rocker Marilyn Manson..."

Calling Marilyn Manson a shock rocker is so ... 12 years ago.
He's lately been too mainstream to shock. It's like KISS in the 80s.

Also, the only thing that's shocking about going to a Manson show is all the 14 year old Jailbait. You feel like you're going to get arrested JUST for being there.

Why do they dress like raccoons?!

AND WTF is up with this vampire obsession??!

I miss the days when industrial-rock was associated with Cyberpunk and not Twilight.
Its ruining what was good music.

/KMFDM/MDFMK for life.

I don't get Wes Borland. I guess he was a good guitar player...when compared with his peers in the 1995-2005 mope rock era.

KMFDM is not exactly contributing. they are the AC/DC of Industrial.


H31N0US: I don't get Wes Borland. I guess he was a good guitar player...when compared with his peers in the 1995-2005 mope rock era.

This too. I wouldn't go as far back as 1995, but I also would be hesitant to elevate him above Korn, et al.

Skold and MDFMK was / is the cancer killing KMFDM.

ADIOS was KMFDM's last good album

What the hell did you just say?
I'm not accusing you of anything, I just literally have no idea what you just said.

I don't absolutely hate LB like so many on here.

My personal formula is that any given Limp Bizkit song's suckitude is magnified in direct proportion to the number of times the bands name is said in that song.

I seen Black Light Burns when they opened for Combichrist. I didn't really care to much for it, but it was infinitely better than anything LB has put out. It's obvious he's doing it for money/attention.

So he left MM's band for the exact same reason he left LB three times?
