But what about a guitarist?  The band is still without an axeman even after a well-publicized national guitarist search and a desperate appeal to fans to email Wes Borland to return to the group. (Wes smartly declined the invitation.) Can they actually record a new album without a guitarist?  Listen to the previous Limp Bizkit albums and judge for yourself. MTV says recently that Fred will be taking on some of the guitarist responsibilities, along with bassist Sam Rivers. Should be interesting. 

 Never a shy person Durst fills fans in on the direction the new album will take with this posting on the official Limp Bizkit website, (note: the spelling and grammatical errors are Fred�s, not ours. As �haters� we must point this out.) "We have some great ideas all ready to be recorded," boast Durst. "We cant wait. It has been an inspirational year for us. There are a lot (sic) of layers to be shed on this album.  Some will fell a little familiar, others will take you places we've never taken you before. We are definately on an emotional journey into the future."

No word yet when the album is expected to hit stores. But we will give you ample warning as soon as we know.   

In related news, former guitarist Wes Borland recently threatened Fred Durst with bodily harm if any of his guitar riffs end up on the new album. click here for that story

(before you ask: yes it was a slow news day)
