Wes Borland, Limp Bizkit’s guitarist, has shared a unique cover version of Metallica’s ‘Orion’ on his Instagram account.
“Horsing around and loopidy loopin with ‘Orion’ by Metallica this afternoon,” Borland said. “Anybody coming out to any of the shows this summer?”
Fans have responded positively to the cover. One fan said, “Sick version!! A little samba-like flavor with a psychedelic touch.” Another fan called it “the Metallica cover we didn’t know we needed.”
The cover precedes Limp Bizkit’s upcoming summer tour with Metallica. This timing adds significance to Borland’s interpretation of the classic instrumental track.
This creative interpretation demonstrates Borland’s versatility as a musician beyond his work with Limp Bizkit.
Documentation from Manson Wiki revealed Borland’s diverse musical portfolio. He founded several projects, including Big Dumb Face and Black Light Burns, exploring various genres and styles outside his main band.
Research by Aston Microphones highlighted Borland’s experimental approach to guitar playing. His unique style has defined his career through consistent boundary-pushing in metal and alternative rock genres.
Records from Angelfire showed Borland’s talents extend beyond music. He has designed several Limp Bizkit album covers. He also maintains a career as a painter and sculptor.
This latest cover of Metallica’s ‘Orion’ showcases Borland’s creative approach. It demonstrates his ability to experiment with established classics while adding his unique artistic perspective.
