Wesley “Wes” Louden Borland is the lead guitarist of Limp Bizkit.
He was born on February 7, 1975, and has been active since 1995, year that started the band.
He is recognized as a guitar genius, capable of writing complex compositions and playing ambitious sounds live.
He is instantly recognizable on stage despite his many different appearances over the years because of his body paint and unorthodox outfits that he wears live.
He didn’t record any part on Limp Bizkit’s fourth LP, “Results May Vary” which was handled by various other guitarists, as he had dropped of the band at that time to work on his side projects, which include his band Black Light Burns, and Big Dumb Face.
He came back on the band’s next record, “The Unquestionable Truth, Part. 1”, and has never left the band again ever since if we don’t count their hiatus.
Aside from playing the guitar, Wes is also an artist and oil painter.
