Limp Bizkit’s Wes Borland On Trump Supporters: “It’s Like You’re Devil Worshippers”
Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland has responded to backlash after telling Donald Trump supporters to unfollow him on social media. He says the people defending the president and convicted felon are like “devil worshippers, but not cool ones.”
Borland initially said the following:
“If any of my followers voted or support Trump or are still friends with anyone who supports the Trump administration you’re out. Fuck You. Never contact me again.”
He then followed that up with the following:
“I guess if you’re mad at me say whatever you want to here. I just want everyone to be happy Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE. Democrats are without leadership except Bernie. Love AOC. So call me a Libtard here. Hail Satan. It’s also my birthday so you can wish me a happy birthday if you want.”
He later added:
“Y’all hating me for not wanting hatred in the world is wild. Fine, keep voting against your best interests and telling me: stick to playing guitar. Never heard that one before.”
“It’s like you’re devil worshippers but not cool ones.”

3 Doors Down Singer Brad Arnold Passes Away
3 Doors Down singer Brad Arnold has sadly passed away at the age of 47. This news comes after he was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer last year.
The band commented:
“With heavy hearts, we share the news that Brad Arnold, founder, lead singer, and songwriter of 3 Doors Down, passed away on Saturday, February 7th, at the age of 47.
With his beloved wife Jennifer and his family by his side, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, in his sleep after his courageous battle with cancer.
As a founding member, vocalist, and original drummer of 3 Doors Down, Brad helped redefine mainstream rock music, blending post-grunge accessibility with emotionally direct songwriting and lyrical themes that resonated with everyday listeners. Brad’s songwriting became a cultural touchstone for a generation, producing some of the most enduring hits of the 2000s, including the band’s breakout hit, “Kryptonite,” which he wrote in his math class when he was just 15 years old. His music reverberated far beyond the stage, creating moments of connection, joy, faith, and shared experiences that will live on long after the stages he performed on.
Above all, he was a devoted husband to Jennifer, and his kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. Those closest to him will remember not only his talent, but his warmth, humility, faith, and deep love for his family and friends.
The family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time and kindly asks that their privacy be respected.
He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.”

“Not everybody and their mother texted me every three seconds telling me about it or anything.”
He went on to share his thought on the stunt:
“Jesus, what b****. What the heck were you thinking, dude? It’s impressive! It’s extremely impressive, but, I mean, I wouldn’t make it past the first floor. I would fall to my death.”
He also added the following when asked what role he could play in a future climb:
“I’ll be the guy down below eating french fries making fun of him.”

Korn Guitarist Brian “Head” Welch Says New Album Is “Not Priority Right Now”
During a recent interview with Loudwire, Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch was asked about the band’s new album progress. However, according to him, a new record is “not priority right now.”
Welch said the following:
“I really love the fact that it’s taking a long time. I always told management that I wish that we would wait a little bit between albums. We’re just so addicted to the studio that we get in there and we’re putting albums out every two or three years, ever since I rejoined. And so I love that there’s been delays.”
He continued:
“We’re a fortunate band, we’ve been around for awhile and we’ve got an extensive catalog with a lot of well-known songs. We’re focusing right now on our live show … It feels like we don’t even need a new album. Everything’s just going so well, but that’s not to say we’re not going to find some time to go in again. I feel like it’s not priority right now.”
Despite this, the band plan to get together soon:
“We’re going to meet together and see where we’re at. There could be a couple of surprises this year … We’re going to have some cool announcements for dates around the world and stuff coming this year.”
