Limp Bizkit have experienced something of a small-r cultural renaissance in recent years — maybe nü metal is next on the pop domination conveyor belt after pop-punk? — and according to guitarist Wes Borland, they might be planning to capitalize on that momentum with a new record.
Limp Bizkit recently resumed touring after postponing some shows in 2022 due to Fred Durst's health, and Borland sat down with Guitar World to discuss the group's longevity and the possibility of a follow-up to 2021's Still Sucks.
"Yeah, we're talking about writing during all the soundchecks this year because we're doing so much touring," explained the guitarist. "We want to get recording — we're talking about a travel destination to make an album together next year. We're looking at places, so new music… yessir!"
Borland also reflected on the band's impact and endurance, saying, "This thing has been going for so long. I thought it would last for a few years and I'd end up in art school saying 'I was in a band once!' But 27 years later, we're still going, which is wild. I've been in Limp Bizkit for more than half my life. We get along better than ever now. No one is taking anything for granted. We're all just happy to be here and having a lot of fun."
Things sound promising in camp Bizkit, though less so for Borland specifically, whose legal motion against his ex-wife over a claim of defamation in an album review was recently deemed "frivolous" by a judge in Wayne County, MI.
Let's also hope that Durst shakes his apparent Elon Musk devotion before they hit the studio.
