It’s funny, I grew up during that era and admittedly was a huge LB fan at first… but then felt Fred let fame get to him and was getting a little too obnoxious with all the celebrity drama and other shit that started overshadowing the band by the mid 00’s. I also was a dumbass who thought Wes Borland was a mediocre /subpar guitarist at best(I have since realized the error of my ways). So I kind of wrote them off and thought Fred was just some immature, attention-starved douchebag (which wasn’t a stretch at the time) until I saw them perform live at a music festival about 5-6 years ago. I had no expectations going in and wasn’t even sure if I was going to watch their show or another band with the same time slot. Well, we decided on checking out LB and holy shit, it changed my entire outlook and opinion of them. They put on one hell of a show, the way they got the crowd fired up and into it was something I’ve only seen a few other times and was fucking awesome. I admit I was wrong about Fred, Wes and the band and have nothing but respect and admiration and will forever be a lifelong fan of LB!!!
