Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit, etc. fame appeared recently on the ‘Talk Toomey Podcast‘ and discussed his various ongoing projects, including the recent Big Dumb Face album “Where Is Duke Lion? He’s Dead…“. Speaking during the chat of the oft-delayed Limp Bizkit album “Stampede Of The Disco Elephants” and his recent comments that nobody wants to hear new material from the outfit, he explained:

“Nobody really wants it, but we have to do it to make promoters interested in the band and give them something to talk about so we can continue to tour and play shows. - Advertisement - When I say nobody particularly wants a new Limp Bizkit record, it’s because we sort of morphed into this nostalgic thing to where people want to hear the eleven singles that we put out and that’s it. I can noticably see crowds attention drop when we play a song that is not “My Generation“, “My Way“, “Break Struff“, “Nookie“, “Rearranged“, “N2 Together Now“, “Take A Look Around“, etc., etc.. When we’re not playing one of those tracks, people go a little bit like “hmmph.”. Except for like 50 people up front going ‘Oh my god they’re playing “Stuck“!’… So when I say no one wants the new Limp Bizkit record, it’s mostly because of that.”

He also spoke of Staind frontman Aaron Lewis, whom Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst nurtured earlier on in their career.

“Aaron Lewis also came up to me in an airport randomly, I happened to be going back… I was visiting my parents in Jacksonville, and flying back to L.A.. And he’s like ‘Where ya headed?’, I just happened to run into him and hadn’t seen him in awhile. He goes ‘Where ya headed?’ And I went ‘I’m going home.’ And he goes ‘Home?” and I went ‘Yeah I just visited my parents, I’m going back home to L.A.’. And for the record I’ve lived in L.A. longer than any other city in my life. He goes… Aaron looks at me and he kind of turns his chin up and goes ‘Nah man, remember where you came from, Florida is your home, not L.A.. That’s home.” And I just went ‘Fuck you man.’ And I never talked to him again after that.”
