===Mushroomhead=== Slipknot had a longstanding feud with the band [[Mushroomhead]] which—along with their fans—said Slipknot "stole their image".<ref>{{cite news |title = Mushroomhead Drummer: Slipknot 'Traded A Platinum Record For Dignity, Honor And Respect |work=Blabbermouth.net |date = October 9, 2006 |url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/mushroomhead-drummer-slipknot-traded-a-platinum-record-for-dignity-honor-and-respect/ |access-date=February 8, 2022}}</ref> While Slipknot acknowledged their images had similarities, its members were not actively involved in the feud, saying the similarities were coincidental. Taylor said, "we both started at the same time—neither one of us knowing anything about each other".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://search.blabbermouth.net/news/slipknot-frontman-discusses-mushroomhead-feud/ |title=Slipknot Frontman Discusses Mushroomhead 'Feud' |date=March 11, 2005 |work=Blabbermouth.net |access-date=February 8, 2022 |archive-date=February 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220208212904/https://search.blabbermouth.net/news/slipknot-frontman-discusses-mushroomhead-feud/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Taylor also said that at a live show in Cleveland, Ohio, several Mushroomhead fans threw objects including a fist-sized padlock at Slipknot and that when Slipknot's set was finished, [[Machine Head (band)|Machine Head]] and [[Amen (American band)|Amen]] went into the crowd and "handled it right there".<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Mary|last=Ouellette|url=http://loudwire.com/slipknot-and-mushroomhead-on-the-same-stage-corey-taylor-says-its-possible/|title=Slipknot and Mushroomhead on the Same Stage? Corey Taylor Says It's Possible|magazine=Loudwire|date=February 10, 2012|access-date=April 20, 2018}}</ref> In 2009, former Mushroomhead vocalist [[Waylon Reavis]] said his band's members were no longer interested in feuding with Slipknot, saying, "they're not the first masked band, we're not, no one was".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/mushroomhead-vocalist-says-there-is-no-more-beef-with-slipknot/ |title=Mushroomhead Vocalist Says There is No More Beef With Slipknot |date=September 14, 2009 |work=Blabbermouth.net |access-date=February 8, 2022}}</ref> During an interview with Rock Rage Radio, Reavis praised Slipknot as he criticized his former bandmates after a dispute with the band's founding members which led to his dismissal. He stated that Slipknot was better and he admitted that his thoughts were personal, since he was not involved with Mushroomhead when the feud started.<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Tyler|last=Sharp|url=https://www.altpress.com/news/entry/ex_mushroomhead_vocalist_puts_former_bandmates_on_blast_says_slipknot_is_be|title=Ex-Mushroomhead vocalist puts former bandmates on blast, says "Slipknot is better"|magazine=Alternative Press|date=July 27, 2016|access-date=April 20, 2018}}</ref>
