Wes Borland doesn't care about Limp Bizkit anymore. The guitarist can't even say for sure that he's still in the predominant rap-metal band of the late '90s. To hear him tell it, Limp Bizkit may not be an active band ? period.
"We're officially on hiatus, maybe even officially over," Borland said. "It's kind of up in the air. No one said, 'We're done as a band.' Everyone's just doing their own thing, and [some members] don't have time for this band anymore. I haven't quit, but I've also decided to stop thinking about Limp. I'm not going to keep trying to breathe life into a dying animal.
"It just ground to a halt," he continued. "We just basically stopped talking."
These days Borland's been concentrating on Black Light Burns' debut, Cruel Melody. Due this summer and featuring 12 tracks, it boast guest spots by Bizkit bassist Sam Rivers, British singer/songwriter Carina Round, Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano and From First to Last frontman Sonny Moore.
Borland intends to assemble a touring version of Black Light Burns, since the musicians he'd worked with on Cruel Melody (renowned session drummer Josh Freese, former Nine Inch Nails guitarist Danny Lohner and Telefon Tel Aviv keyboardist/programmer Josh Eustis) will likely be preoccupied with other projects.
