Wes Borland at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California in June 1999 shortly after the release of Limp Bizkit's second studio album 'Significant Other'. With white face paint, eery shark-like black eyes and cobwebs on his neck, Wes Borland was starting to perfect his fearsome onstage persona.
