Coming from a hardcore Limp Bizkit fan, how can you not know about Sam Rivers and John Otto? Of course Fred gets a lot of the spotlight for being the lead singer, but name a band that doesn't. The lead singers from Staind, Mettallica, System of a Down, Papa Roach, Disturbed, Andrew W.K., Spike 1000, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Ozzy Osbourne, and almost every other heavy metal band gets the spotlight. The reason why Wes Borland was an exception to the rule was for two reasons. One, he is just that damned good. If you just listen to him going off on his guitar, you know that either he has been practicing from birth, or he was given a gift. The second is the way that he looks. He always has a kickass costume that screams out for him to be noticed. Sure, Limp Bizkit would probably have been better if Wes had stayed in the band, but shit happens. People leave their bands all the time (or die in the case of Cliff Burton of Metallica) and the band stays just as good or better (again, just look at Metallica). And on a side note, Creed sucks fucking ass. They are definitely overplayed and overcredited. Scott Stapp is a hypocrite himself calling himself a Christian. Now there's a band of hypocrites, themosquitogod.
