===Limp Bizkit=== While on tour promoting anticipation for the release of their self-titled album in the spring of 1999; Taylor had taken notice of Korn drummer [[David Silveria]] in a promotional campaign for Calvin Klein at multiple truck stop kiosks. Taylor had expressed his disgust with the campaign, and had taken numerous copies of the magazine issues and burned them onstage during multiple live performances. Within hearing of the gesture; [[Limp Bizkit]] frontman [[Fred Durst]] (who was a friend of Silveria's), took offense at Taylor's actions. Durst would later make retaliatory comments towards Slipknot's fans in June 1999, referring to them as "fat, ugly kids".<ref>{{cite web |title=6 Times Musicians Continued Working Together After a Long Feud |url=https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/articles/features/6_times_musicians_continued_working_together_after_a_long_feud-118673 |access-date=July 27, 2022 |website=www.ultimate-guitar.com |language=en}}</ref> Slipknot singer Corey Taylor responded during an appearance in Sydney by claiming that the fans of Slipknot "for the most part, enjoy all kinds of music, like Limp Bizkit... maybe."
