Apparemment Fred Durst et Wes Borland sont entrain de régler leurs comptes via internet donnant une certaine exclusité aux internautes car je crois que Wes Borland a compris en même temps qu'eux qu'il venait de se faire kicker du groupe

Here you go...
For those of you who don't know, I've recently made some statements in the last blog about Limp Bizkit that have pissed some people off. I am going to post them below all together in one place so that you can check them out. The other blog was getting confusing. I need to let you all know that although I'm telling you as much as I can, there is a history here that nobody can fully understand unless they lived it, and there are relationships here that are complicated and have a lot of baggage tied to them. For those of you who think that I am coming across as bitter, that's because I am. But I know very well what LB has done for me and what I've done for them. You would not know me if it weren't for them, and you wouldn't know them if it weren't for me. It's a "chicken or the egg" type of situation. I'm a person who makes mistakes and is willing to admit when I'm wrong, but I don't regret leaving LB, nor do I regret rejoining. I also am comfortable with what's going on now. Do I want to piss off LB fans? No. Do I want to tell you guys who have no clue what's going on with the band what's REALLY going on? Yes. You deserve that. You can take it out on me if you want, but it's not going to change anything. I'll feel bad, and you may feel better, like you got to vent. As you read these, you may think that I'm contradicting myself, that's ok, everybody does from time to time, me included, this is a subject I have a tendancy too get pretty fired up about, but if you read carefully I think you'll get the basics of what's happening. I have no hatred towards anyone else in the band. It's just one of those things. So here you go, the posts as they were in the last blog:
Look, this has got to end/come to a head at some point. Why don't we just do it now? I did not like that Bizkit record I wasn't on. I didn't really like any other Bizkit record very much except 3 dollar bill and I have never listened to one of our records after we finished it, and I couldn't care less about making another record with that band, and I don't care about Mike Smith. I am not speaking in an "angry tone" right now. I know that one's attitude through text can be misunderstood, and I am not having a bad or negative attitude right now. I was part of a band that many people were fans of. I cannot claim to be a fan of LB, but I do care about the people that were/are and am glad that they have enjoyed what I've done in the past musically. Fred and I do not get along. We never have and we never will. I really like Sam and Lethal a lot and although I don't talk to them at all right now, I would think that I could pick up and be friends with them again at some point. And finally, John is distant and doing his own thing and nobody knows what that is. That's everything. That's the way it is. If you guys are going to keep being sentimental about all this LB stuff, and getting all butt-hurt about the fact that TUT part 2 is NEVER coming out, could you please think before you start writing me hateful posts and all that nonsense. I've told you everything I know, and frankly I just don't care about LB at all. We had a good run, and the shows were always amazing, but I am so much happier now that I actually like the music I'm making. If you want to bitch at someone and ask questions, they post Fred's number every once and a while over at Buddyhead.com, so I'm sure if you keep watching that site, they'll give you his address or something. I know everybody is going to freak out and get all dramatic again about this, but I'm tired of people having the illusion that anything is actually going to happen over in that camp, because it's not. Why don't you guys come to Black Light Burns shows? All LB fans are invited and I promise we'll have a good time.
I'll answer, no problem. I'll try to keep it short and answer as many questions as I can directly. I don't have any access to LB.com. I agree that the greatest hits was a piece of crap and a waste of money, I had no control over it. I know nothing of a new Bizkit site, maybe they've kicked me out of the band without telling me and have been working on new music behind my back? I'm not sure. About all the other promises and stuff that was planned: I have had no control in LB for a long time. I was promised a more democratic situation when I returned to the band, only to have it turn back into a dictatorship after a period of time. I've tried my best to make it work since coming back, only to be confronted by wall after wall. I finally decided that I would never really have a say about anything, and just stopped trying, which led to not caring. I like to be really involved in what I'm working on, and I can't really do that with LB anymore. Hope that answers your questions.
(In response to being asked if I liked Results May Vary):
I flipped through the tracks one time. I don't really consider it a Bizkit record. It's more like a solo record for FD.
I will try my best to be cool headed and answer questions you have regarding this post. I really wish this site could be all about Black Light Burns, but understand that the LB fans deserve some expanation for what has happened over the last few years. I will do my best to explain whatever else I can. Thanks for reading (for those of you who even care about this crap), I know that it's a lot to take in....

Well Thank You
Today is a wonderful day for new beginnings and we all can participate. I must say that I appreciate the carefully and delicately worded apology from a man who knows how and what to say when under pressure. I am also pleased to see the lack of sincerity, that has always been a huge part of his character, is still at the forefront of his aesthetic. From the beginning the two of us never genuinely appealed to one another, but I accepted him as family and gave my life and loyalty to the family we all were a part of. This means I would never turn my back on my family no matter what. Through hell and high water I have my families back. From the great times to the most tragic I will stand by my families side. This also happens to be the same philosophy that Sam, John, and Lethal live by when it comes to family. The only person who turned his back on our family is the same one who left our family in a time of need. The same one who left John (TUT1) out to dry when he needed us the most. The same one who planned his exit from the family after having me negotiate an advance from the label, for millions of dollars, for future albums (RMV) and then leave the family as soon as the money was in his bank account. The same one who knew there were people giving their hearts and loyalty to our family in return for the same, but in so many ways has shown his true colors to be those with no heart and no loyalty. The same one who will bad mouth a family that he treated so unfair and so badly only to reassure and prove his devotion and loyalty to his new and improved true passions and interests. The same one who led millions of people into a fire and left them to burn. The same one who seems so willing to be "brutally honest" that he will hurt anyone, at any unpredictable time, in his path regardless of how much reassurance he has provided, over and again, that he was family and would never turn his back under any circumstance no matter what, just the same as all members of the family reassured him. The same one who says he feels like he "sold out", but was the only one pretending, the whole time supposedly, to be down with all of us and taking every single penny he could get his hands on and claims he only did it because "it worked". The same one who complained about being "popular" and left the family, but came back saying he really wants to be popular again after all his time away from the spotlight and was pushing to do any and all of the things we could do to regain our popularity. The same one who came back to the family, years after leaving, because he missed, loved, and could only truly be happy with our family, but made a deal with the head of the label that he would only come back on one condition that they promised to support, promote, release, and stand behind his new solo approach as an artist. The same one who can't get it right with me, but is only willing to do so for money because never once has he mentioned being a part of the family again for the family itself which is the band members and the fans. The same one who finds vulnerable people to believe in him and give him unconditional love and support because he is in fact someone that is very easy to fall in love with only to make careless and selfish decisions with no regards to the massive amount of innocent human beings he will be hurting and confusing. The same person who claims to have such a spine, but is, in my eyes, spineless because of so many choices that he has made to reinstate how "cool" he actually is. The same one who, time and again, is motivated by his need to be accepted and being considered "cool". The same one who left all of his family when he felt his family wasn't cool anymore. The same one who had my undivided attention, love, and support regardless of his inability to stand up to me and expose his dislike concerning me or my decisions. The same one who thought it was best to turn his back on me and everyone who depended on him instead of trying to communicate and work through the problems he was having regarding me and the world he spent so much hard work and time to create......But I accept your apology and admire your evolution as an honorable and respectable human being. You have been through a lot and I have, and will always be, one of your biggest fans. Your disrespect for me and my family is water under the bridge my friend. If you would only now be aware and sensitive towards how bad you have disappointed and hurt me, john, sam, lethal, and most of the limp bizkit family. We have been devastated ever since you left the first time and will never fully recover. We gave you our hearts and our unconditional loyalty because we are all about family and will be until we are no longer living. This scar will always remind us of all of the great times we shared together with you and hopefully nothing else. You are a genius at being creative and hopefully more in tune with how you treat people along your journey. I really enjoy the music you are making now and will be excited to experience the full journey. And you are wrong about something, this is not "garbage". We have learned through the years to not be so candid with our details concerning limp bizkit and you seemed to pick a very timely and interesting time to stir up the "garbage" and call me and my family "dead". You don't know of any new music being made because we chose, long ago when you left john for dead, that we would never be so naive to trust you again. Everything happens for a reason and this is no exception. I am so proud of the family for putting the heat on and proving that we are anything, but dead. TUT2 will be dedicated to you personally, so please find it in your heart to give it a listen and even if you say you won't, we know you will. Thank you again and remember it is water under the bridge. There will be those who agree and those who don't. Some will remain family and some will turn their backs. So be it. We rise now. It is time. We will never turn our backs on our family as it has been proven time and time again and you can always, and forever, depend on that. Family is forever. We love you brother and wish you the best with everything you will ever do. And just like you I will put this to rest and move on with what is best for our family. Goodnight.

OK, that's a wrap
Fred, thanks for the reply. That was a really really one sided perspective (I've never felt like such a scapegoat actually), there's so much I could say, but I'd rather just leave it alone. Best of luck to you guys. Looking forward to hearing whatever you all do in the future.
