In the media-happy, no-privacy world the Internet has created, most musicians are fairly careful about what they say in the public forum, especially toward other bands.
It's not that all bands get along and all musicians truly respect one another, but it's just much easier to not air that kind of dirty laundry in public.
Well, unless you're Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland.
Borland made what he probably felt was an innocent comment about Dream Theater via Twitter over the weekend. In response to a follower saying something positive about the prog-metal band, Borland Tweeted: "Dream Theater do not own. That's a fact. Refused own," adding, "No they aren't incredible. There's no debate."
We'll let Borland's Twitter feed take it from here:
“I walk in and Hans has me sit down. And he goes, ‘Let’s just get down to business. I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately’”: After his spiritual awakening, Tim Henson is ready for anything – heavy Polyphia, trippy solo records and A-list film collabs
“There’s amazing players like Josh Smith and Eric Gales, and I thought, ‘OK, I’ve been missing out. I’m learning the blues’”: Tosin Abasi said he wanted to release a blues album – is it still on the cards?
