Who knows the band Limp Bizkit, that Wes Borland is familiar. This bright, talented and peculiar musician stands out especially from the group. In addition, he is well known as a talented composer, costume designer and make-up artist.
Biggraphy
Wes Borland was born in America in the capital of Virginia, Richmond. It happened in February 1875. The father was a clergyman. In early childhood, trouble happened to the boy. After receiving a serious head injury, Wes is mentally disturbed. Because of this problem, parents, in order to somehow protect the child from the ridicule of their peers, often changed their place of residence and schools. The boy grew up uncommunicative, often immersed in his own special inner world.
Despite such a serious problem, Wes has mastered many musical instruments since childhood. By the age of 12, he perfectly played the violin, cello, guitar, piano. I dreamed of mastering a drum kit. The parents were against this and directed their child's interest exclusively to the guitar. The priest, who served with my father in the parish, helped to master it perfectly. He was well versed in country and blues.
Studying and starting a career as a musician
When it came time to get a musical education, it turned out that Wes Borland did not know notes and only played by ear. Therefore, he had to work hard to master music professionally, starting with the study of musical notation.
He began his career as a musician in the band Krank. At the same time (1994) Fred Durst created a group, unique for that time, called Limp Bizkit, where Wes Borland moved to. The band with the strange name Limp Bizkit, which means "softened cookies", was quickly recognized by the whole of America.
Special group
Group Limp Bizkit, in which Wes began to work, differed from others in their special aggressive manner of playing. In addition, she experimented a lot with the sound and external stage image of the musicians. Borlant also tried on an unusual, creepy image.
It was this singularity and eccentricity that the listeners liked. The group had a million fans. The band has become a Grammy nominee several times.
Group discord and withdrawal
In 1996, Wes Borland had a serious breakdown with the band's founder over Wes' desire to renew the band's sound. Wes leaves, but not for long. Soon, the leader realizes that without cooperation with the talented Borland, the team can fall apart. He persuaded Wes to return, but the controversy did not stop. After his return, the musician again quarreled with Durst and again not for the last time. Having finally left the team in 2004, the already famous musician and composer took up a solo career. I created my own groups. But everything Wes created new was not as popular as what was created in the group Limp Bizkit.
Forgiveness
And then, understanding and forgiving, forgetting the grievances, making a compromise, Wes returned to the group to Durst. He again became one of the five musicians who made up the Limp Bizkit group. Together with Borland, the popular group released 2 new albums, which were a huge success all over the world.
