=== Slipknot === Following [[Slipknot (band)|Slipknot]] lead vocalist [[Corey Taylor]]'s (also known as "#8") publicly displayed distaste for [[Korn]] drummer [[David Silveria]]'s magazine photo campaign for [[Calvin Klein (fashion house)|Calvin Klein]], Taylor burned copies of the magazine issues during multiple Slipknot live performances, culminating in Durst taking offense to the gestures. It was rumored that Durst would later make retaliatory comments towards [[Slipknot (band)|Slipknot's]] fans in the spring of 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> Durst has denied these comments.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=242JiaZXhP4&ab_channel=haveitonVHS|title=MTV - Rock & Roll Feuds (2/3 - Love, Manson, Slipknot, Bizkit, LL, Dre, V-Ice)|website=YouTube |date=January 22, 2014 }}</ref> Slipknot singer Corey Taylor responded during a February 2000 appearance in Sydney by claiming that the fans of Slipknot "for the most part, enjoy all kinds of music, like Limp Bizkit… maybe." Taylor went on to claim that insulting fans of Slipknot could also be insulting fans of Limp Bizkit.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1431271/slipknot-has-issues-to-discuss-with-limps-durst/ |title=Slipknot Feud |date=December 9, 1999 |website=MTV |access-date=February 11, 2016 |archive-date=April 30, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160430123746/http://www.mtv.com/news/1431271/slipknot-has-issues-to-discuss-with-limps-durst/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> During an interview with [[VH1]] in October 2000, Durst praised Slipknot's music, expressing his desire to quell the tension between both sides, telling interviewers, "Man this band is super phat, man; we don't even know them. That's their whole thing, that's their chant, that's their thing, that's cool. Maybe all this hate that's going around the world, that's why I said 'It's all the world has even seen lately'". However, while Taylor responded with praise for Durst's financial ventures, he also attacked Durst's artistic motives and ability, claiming "Fred Durst is a great businessman, but he is not an artist".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKsvn3YLK1w|title=Slipknot Praises and Disses Fred Durst|website=YouTube |date=April 29, 2008 }}</ref> Despite the hostility between the two bands, they both shared numerous UK festival dates in 2000, with some reports of Durst supporting Slipknot's music.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ladbible.com/entertainment/music/reading-and-leeds-fest-2000-line-up-977498-20230822|title=People can't get over Reading And Leeds Fest 2000 line-up compared to this year|date=August 22, 2023 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.concertarchives.org/concerts/reading-festival--33|title=August 25, 2000 Reading and Leeds Festival}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.setlist.fm/festival/2000/live-105-bfd-2000-43d6a7cb.html|title=Live 105 BFD 2000 Setlists|website=setlist.fm }}</ref> The two would find themselves on friendlier terms in 2010, while Limp Bizkit was recording their album ''[[Gold Cobra]]''; Durst included lyrics on the album's song "90.2.10" as a shout-out to Taylor: "Corey Taylor got a harem chasin' him around / We ain't slippin' with his knot, then we goin' down".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://genius.com/Limp-bizkit-90210-lyrics|title=Limp Bizkit - 90.2.10 (lyrics)}}</ref> Taylor stated in a live interview in 2011 that Durst's children were allegedly fans of Slipknot.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.loudersound.com/features/slipknot-limp-bizkit-video-corey-taylor-fred-durst-2000|title=The Slipknot and Limp Bizkit bust up was one of the greatest feuds of the Early 00s|date=May 30, 2022 }}</ref> Limp Bizkit was later booked on the 2014 Japanese leg of Slipknot's [[Knotfest]] tour, along with Korn.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://loudwire.com/slipknot-knotfest-japan-2014-korn-and-limp-bizkit/|title=Japanese leg of Knotfest 2014 to include Korn and Limp Bizkit|website=[[Loudwire]] |date=April 24, 2014 }}</ref> In 2021, after the death of ex-Slipknot drummer [[Joey Jordison]], Limp Bizkit paid tribute to him at one of their shows.<ref>{{cite web |last=Moore |first=Sam |date=August 4, 2021 |title=Watch Limp Bizkit and their fans pay tribute to Slipknot's Joey Jordison |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-limp-bizkit-and-their-fans-pay-tribute-to-slipknots-joey-jordison-3010728 |access-date=July 27, 2022 |website=NME |language=en-GB}}</ref> On May 19, 2024, Limp Bizkit brought Slipknot turntablist [[Sid Wilson]] and a fan dressed as Slipknot lead vocalist Corey Taylor on stage during their live performance at [[Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival]] in [[Columbus, Ohio]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://youtube.com/RUGcj-BSKnE?si=Pf8OCmRf4mwPLdrQ|title=Limp Bizkit - DJ Solo (feat Sid Wilson of Slipknot) @ Sonic Temple (May 19, 2024)|website=YouTube }}{{Dead link|date=June 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/C7LDWact59H/?hl=en|title=Columbus you guys were Amazing.
