…Limp Bizkit’s former guitarist (he quit sometime last week).

Anyway, they’re going from town to town auditioning guitarists. I’ve only been playing for about 5 1/2 months and I mostly just play power chords… I got a pretty good shot, right?

Here’s hopin’. But it would be nice to use their last two minutes of fame to my advantage. I’d like to see if I could possibly be more obnoxious than Fred Durst. I wonder how much it would take to be the “bad boy” of Limp Bizkit…
