Former LIMP BIZKIT Guitarist Attends 'Underworld' Premiere

September 16, 2003

Former LIMP BIZKIT and current EAT THE DAY guitarist Wes Borland attended the "Underworld" premiere at Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California on Monday (September 15). Check out pictures from Film Magic.

In other news, Borland recently commented on the illegal music downloading issue via a posting on the EAT THE DAY web site. He wrote, "The record industry is a mess because of it. Record labels are losing so much money due to downloading that many of the more interesting bands are being dropped or ignored and only 'sure things' are getting signed. Basically people don't understand that every cent that an artist takes from a label has to be paid back. It is literally like taking a loan from a bank. The artist ends up paying for everything. When you download music, you are stealing directly from that person that made the song that you are downloading. And it's forcing the 'banks' (record labels) to merge with each other, becoming larger, more confused monsters that are afraid of the future, and that's a creature that I don't want to be around. More JUSTIN TIMBERLAKEs will be signed instead of RADIOHEADs. And some people are responsible with it. They check out a band online, and then go pay for the record if they like it, but there is, as you are well aware, an entire sub-culture of thieves, who never pay for anything anymore. It's these peoples fault that bands are sounding the same, and that MTV only plays top 40, along with lame TV shows. That is a direct result of stealing music. The demise and collapse of everything that is still good about music. Keep it up, and you'll be able to watch it fall."
