Wes Fun Facts!

Got beat up almost every day in ninth grade. ( aww. But i bet those people are kickin themselves in the ass!)

Was introduced to the Ibanez 7-string guitar by Munky and Head of Korn, and played those up until Spring of 2000 when he switched to Paul Reed Smith 6-string guitars. He also has an Ibanez custom-made 4-string guitar which can be heard on songs including "Nookie" and "Stalemate". Also said to play Ibanez "religiously"

Cut his hair because he got sick of it.

His first tattoo was of Heather, his wife's name, on his lower back in some sort of old English type writing. She has his name on her back as well. They got them done together. He has what is said to be his guardian angel (that red creature) on his left shoulder, which he supposedly designed, and a Limp Bizkit tattoo on his inner arm near his wrist, I've heard Fred did it for him, and Sam Rivers has the same one. Also one somwhere that says "Lucypoo" or "LucyPoop" I think on the other wrist
.
Quit smoking on February 9th, 1999. He used to smoke up to three packs a day, and used Nicoderm CQ to quit. Thank you tobacco industry :p

Was diagnosed with extreme ADHD at age 19, and was put on Dexedrine 10 milogram spancils until age 25 when he realized he really had nothing wrong with him in the first place. The Dexedrine used to make him really hyper, tense, and stressed out so much that he would be called "Stress" Borland. It made him get every tooth in his mouth filled, and he said if he had continued to take it, it would have chemically changed him over time. Says he much more relaxed now, and life has improved 1000%.

Got his nickname, Lucy, which is short for Lucifer, in Jacksonville, FL, and thinks its stupid.


Baptized and made to go to church every day of his younger life. He's not a big fan of organized religion but he is looking for other truths right now.

Drives a black '99 Toyota Landcruiser.

Wes owns two sewing machines and even one vintage 1940's Singer sewing machine, which he supposedly got from his grandmother.

Wes sews all his own costumes.

Is working on a solo project entitled Big Dumb Face. The CD, titled Ruining the Miracle is expected for a January 2001 release.

Wes gets shin splints from constantly gyrating around on stage. Before and after each show, he needs to ice them down to make the cartilige meet.
