Editing Limp Bizkit (section)

===Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor===
[[Marilyn Manson]] was known to be overly vocal against Limp Bizkit's music; in 1999, he attacked the band's artistry and their fans, referring to them as "illiterate apes that beat your ass in high school for being a 'fag' and now sell you tuneless testosterone anthems of [[misogyny]] and pretend to be outsiders...".<ref name="NME"/> Manson was later reported to have withdrawn from the [[Woodstock '99]] festival due to his dislike of Limp Bizkit, though he later claimed this was due to an inconvenient set time for his performance.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/woodstock-99-line-up-takes-shape-119576/ |title=Woodstock 99 lineup takes shape |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |date=April 2, 1999 |access-date=June 19, 2023 |archive-date=May 27, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230527222835/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/woodstock-99-line-up-takes-shape-119576/amp/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mtv.com/news/3y8v4z/manson-alanis-offspring-metallica-more-sign-on-for-woodstock|title=Manson, Alanis, Offspring, Metallica, and more sign on for Woodstock 99|website=[[MTV]]|access-date=June 19, 2023|archive-date=July 9, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230709172447/https://www.mtv.com/news/3y8v4z/manson-alanis-offspring-metallica-more-sign-on-for-woodstock|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|url= https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/shock-rock-1999-last-stand-8506912/|title= Shock rock 1999's Last Stand|magazine= [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|access-date= June 19, 2023|archive-date= July 9, 2023|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230709183928/https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/shock-rock-1999-last-stand-8506912/amp/|url-status= live}}</ref> Manson, along with [[Nine Inch Nails]] frontman [[Trent Reznor]], once again took aim at Durst and the band in Nine Inch Nails' video for the song "[[Starfuckers, Inc.]]", in which the two take aim at multiple artists, ranging from [[The Smashing Pumpkins]]' frontman [[Billy Corgan]], [[Michael Stipe]] of [[R.E.M.]], and (most blatantly) Durst and Limp Bizkit. In a 2000 interview, Manson later explained: "With this video, we didn't wanna seem bitching like about somehow that Limp Bizkit's doing better than we are, in their mind." Reznor later added to the comment, stating; "I don't have to say Limp Bizkit sucks, you know it, I know it, I shouldn't have to say it".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://youtube.com/8FGrVbtOHYg|title=Trent Reznor with Marilyn Manson (Starfucker comment)|website=[[YouTube]]}}{{Dead link|date=June 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Durst responded to Manson and Reznor's insults: "I understand that Marilyn Manson is very unhappy that his career has gone in a shambles and he's alienated his fans, so if he has to say things like that because he's very mad at himself, I would forgive him. And Trent Reznor's in the fucking same boat. Trent Reznor is obviously unhappy with how he's alienated the world, how long he took to make a record, and how he thought he was immortal. We're just here doing what we do and we have nothing to say about anybody. I wish them both luck and I feel sorry that they're so jealous and mad at themselves that they have to talk shit."<ref name="NME" /> Durst's relationship with Manson had seemingly grown cordial as the two later appeared on the cover of a ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine issue in June 2003 alongside [[James Hetfield]] and [[Ozzy Osbourne]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.amazon.com/Durst-Osborne-Hetfield-Marilyn-Manson/dp/B003S1LRHS|title=Durst, Osborne, Hetfield, Marilyn Manson|access-date=June 19, 2023|archive-date=July 10, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230710165703/https://www.amazon.com/Durst-Osborne-Hetfield-Marilyn-Manson/dp/B003S1LRHS|url-status=live}}</ref> Limp Bizkit guitarist [[Wes Borland]] later joined Manson's touring band in 2008. During a show in [[Seoul|Seoul, South Korea]] on August 15, 2008, Manson introduced Borland onstage and began attacking Limp Bizkit, exclaiming to the crowd "Here's our new guitarist, he used to play for a really bad band...".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/wes-borland-denounces-marilyn-manson-as-a-bad-guy-who-needs-to-face-his-demons-2872467|title=Wes Borland denounces Marilyn Manson|website=[[NME]]|date=February 4, 2021|access-date=June 19, 2023|archive-date=June 16, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230616064425/https://www.nme.com/news/music/wes-borland-denounces-marilyn-manson-as-a-bad-guy-who-needs-to-face-his-demons-2872467|url-status=live}}</ref>{{Failed verification|date=January 2025}} Borland later departed Manson's touring band after less than nine months, citing an inability to songwrite and criticizing Manson's overbearing leadership. In 2021, Manson would become the subject of further controversy surrounding numerous sexual abuse allegations against him. Borland proceeded to attack Manson in numerous interviews, denouncing him as a "Bad fucking dude". Trent Reznor, in an apparent change-of-heart, supported Borland's claims against Manson's misconduct, while also attacking him for the abuse allegations, during an interview with ''[[Ultimate Guitar]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/trent_reznor_denounces_marilyn_manson_in_wake_of_sexual_abuse_allegations_limp_bizkits_wes_borland_speaks_on_how_manson_mistreated_him_in_the_band.html|title=Trent Reznor denounces Marilyn Manson in wake of Sexual Abuse allegations|access-date=June 19, 2023|archive-date=July 9, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230709195846/https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/trent_reznor_denounces_marilyn_manson_in_wake_of_sexual_abuse_allegations_limp_bizkits_wes_borland_speaks_on_how_manson_mistreated_him_in_the_band.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
