WES BORLAND TO PLAY ON NEW FILTER RECORD??
Friday, November 30th, 2007 at 2:17pm by Vince Neilstein
MTV.com published an interview with Richard Patrick this morning in which the Filter main-man only-man revealed more details about the upcoming fourth Filter record, Anthems for the Damned, tentatively scheduled for release in late March. Tracking was completed in about two weeks with producer Josh Abraham (Slayer, Velvet Revolver) manning the boards.
Business first; Patrick says Army of Anyone (his project with the DeLeo brothers of STP who put out a record last year) is “now on hiatus,” and that he’d love to “do more records with them in the future.” Patrick said it was playing old Filter material during live sets with Army of Anyone that convinced him that the band had to be resurrected:
“But this is not a comeback. Filter’s my legacy. It’s just like Al Jourgensen with Ministry. This is something I took very seriously, something I quit Nine Inch Nails to do, and it has allowed me so much freedom as an artist. I would never turn my back on the thing that has always been the #1 thing in my life. And the core fans that I have, they’re expecting a great record. I knew I’d have to return with the goods, and I’m absolutely convinced that that’s what I have with this record.”
Patrick has recruited an all-star cast of collaborators for this effort; Josh “I’ve played drums on every record ever” Freese, former Marilyn Manson / Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 (who co-wrote two of the album’s tracks), and… ex-Limp Bizkit/ current Black Light Burns guitarist Wes Borland???? Given, Borland was always the most intruiging member of Limp Bizkit, but what??? Maybe it was a political move to solidy Filter’s burgeoning market in Jakarta.

Listen, WHO CARES?! first you blog about stupid hair bands; and now – while bashing “nu metal” you’re constantly posting about the same crap of this so-called music. What is going on? I’m starting to fully understand the name of this blog…
Pleh.
haha, i actually grew up in Jakarta. i remember in the late 90’s Mr. Big (w/ Ritchie Kotzen i think) played to a stadium full of like 30,000 people. couldn’t have done that at that time in the US for sure :-D. Jakarta is still a pretty good place for rock/metal music in general, like for example check out this clip of Megadeth playing there last month! http://youtube.com/watch?v=_Z65t2Vi2cU
@ Sheila:
I fail to understand your logic. Hair bands are awesome. Nu metal is terrible. Filter is neither hair or nu metal, nor are they awesome or terrible.
What’s your point?

PS: Sheila is DEFINITELY the new Sammy.

“Hair bands are awesome’ I’ll tattoo this line to my heart. Really.
