=== Slipknot ===
[[Korn]] and Limp Bizkit shared a long-standing friendship after bassist [[Reginald Arvizu]] assisted the band in acquiring a record deal in 1996. The bands continued to strengthen their relationship as they often toured together frequently throughout the late 1990s. [[Slipknot (band)|Slipknot]] at the time were an up and coming band and would have their [[Slipknot (album)|self-titled debut]] produced by [[Ross Robinson]] (a producer who worked with all three bands). Whilst on tour promoting their upcoming album during the 1999 [[Ozzfest]] tour, lead singer [[Corey Taylor]] took notice of Korn drummer [[David Silveria]]'s modeling campaign for Calvin Klein in several magazines whilst the band were at a truck stop in Texas. Disgusted with Silveria's business decisions to expand into modeling, Taylor purchased numerous copies of the magazine issue and publicly burnt copies onstage during the band's live performances. According to Taylor, Durst and DJ Lethal were enraged by the gestures and attacked Slipknot in various interviews in the spring of 1999. Taylor admits that he and multiple Slipknot members were impressed with Limp Bizkit's 1997 debut record, even citing it as an influence on their debut album, but he later claimed they lost respect for the band following the release of "Significant Other" in 1999, accusing the band of selling out.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B-CmQjIHi4|title=Corey Taylor fala sobre o Limp Bizkit (legendado - PTBR)|website=[[YouTube]]|date=December 5, 2013 |access-date=June 6, 2023|archive-date=May 31, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230531034256/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B-CmQjIHi4&feature=youtu.be|url-status=live}}</ref> Durst would make further retaliatory comments towards [[Slipknot (band)|Slipknot]]'s fans in December 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 |archive-date=January 23, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240123013423/https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/articles/features/6_times_musicians_continued_working_together_after_a_long_feud-118673 |url-status=live }}</ref> Slipknot singer Corey Taylor responded during a February 2000 fan interview in [[Sydney, Australia]] 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/ }}</ref> During an interview with VH1 in October 2000, Durst praised Slipknot's music, expressing his desire to quell the tension between both sides, when asked about Slipknot's music Durst told reporters: "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'". Despite this, Taylor retorted with praise for Durst's financial ventures but attacked his artistic motives, 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 |access-date=June 6, 2023|archive-date=January 26, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240126153206/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKsvn3YLK1w|url-status=live}}</ref> Despite the attacks between the two bands, they shared numerous UK festival dates together through 2000, including the 2000 [[Reading and Leeds Festivals]].<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|access-date=September 1, 2023|archive-date=September 1, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230901224344/https://www.ladbible.com/entertainment/music/reading-and-leeds-fest-2000-line-up-977498-20230822|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.concertarchives.org/concerts/reading-festival--33|title=August 25, 2000 Reading and Leeds Festival|access-date=September 1, 2023|archive-date=September 1, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230901224344/https://www.concertarchives.org/concerts/reading-festival--33|url-status=live}}</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|access-date=September 1, 2023|archive-date=September 1, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230901224344/https://www.setlist.fm/festival/2000/live-105-bfd-2000-43d6a7cb.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Taylor later claimed that feud began to subside during the late 2000s after the two bands shared a friendly encounter during the [[Download Festival#2009|2009 Download Festival]] in which Durst approached him, informing Taylor that his children were fans of Slipknot's music. Durst asked Taylor if he would sign several autographs for his son, to which Taylor kindly obliged.<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|access-date=June 6, 2023|archive-date=September 1, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230901005658/https://www.loudersound.com/features/slipknot-limp-bizkit-video-corey-taylor-fred-durst-2000|url-status=live}}</ref> The two would continue to find themselves on friendlier terms in 2010. Whilst Limp Bizkit were recording "Gold Cobra", Durst included a line on the song 90.2.10 giving a shoutout to Taylor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://genius.com/Limp-bizkit-90210-lyrics|title=Limp Bizkit - 90.2.10 (lyrics)|access-date=June 6, 2023|archive-date=January 22, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240122233146/https://genius.com/Limp-bizkit-90210-lyrics|url-status=live}}</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 |access-date=June 6, 2023 |archive-date=January 23, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240123103818/https://loudwire.com/slipknot-knotfest-japan-2014-korn-and-limp-bizkit/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In August 2021, Limp Bizkit gave a public tribute to Slipknot drummer [[Joey Jordison]] who had recently died on July 26. Durst and the band paid tribute to him during their concert in Des Moines, Iowa (Slipknot's hometown). Durst asked the audience: "Slipknot's from somewhere around here, aren't they?" before expressing support for Jordison and the rest of the band, later telling the crowd "Rest in peace, let's hear it! That's beautiful. Life is short and it's always fleeting so, man, let's just remember all we are is right now" while riling the crowd to chant Jordison's name.<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 |archive-date=January 23, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240123131816/https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-limp-bizkit-and-their-fans-pay-tribute-to-slipknots-joey-jordison-3010728 |url-status=live }}</ref> On May 19, 2024; Slipknot turntablist [[Sid Wilson]] made a live appearance during Limp Bizkit's performance at that year's Sonic Temple 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.

===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}}</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>

=== Placebo ===
Limp Bizkit and [[Placebo (band)|Placebo]] began a long-standing feud, stemming from a show Durst was hosting at [[Irving Plaza]] in December 1998.<ref name="PureMoaning">{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/limp-bizkit-184-1399152 |title=PURE MOANING |date=January 26, 2001 |website=NME.COM |language=en-GB |access-date=April 23, 2020 |archive-date=May 3, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170503215941/http://www.nme.com/news/music/limp-bizkit-184-1399152 |url-status=live }}</ref> Durst claimed he was prepared to introduce Placebo to the audience before singer [[Brian Molko]] insulted him, unaware of who he was.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://rockcelebrities.net/the-truth-about-limp-bizkit-placebo-feud/|title=What Happened Between Limp Bizkit And Placebo?|date=June 26, 2022|access-date=June 19, 2023|archive-date=July 18, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230718010004/https://rockcelebrities.net/the-truth-about-limp-bizkit-placebo-feud/|url-status=live}}</ref> Durst later explained: <blockquote>"I was on the side of the stage, and the singer comes and pushes me and says, 'Get the fuck out of here!' And I'm like, 'I'm just here because I was asked to introduce you.' And he's like, 'I don't give a fuck who you are, get off my stage' or whatever the fuck he was saying. So I guess he didn't know I was from Limp Bizkit, and I was introducing him."</blockquote> Molko's behavior prompted Durst to rile up the crowd to chant "Placebo sucks!" prior to their performance.<ref name="PureMoaning" /> Molko later expressed that he was completely unaware that Durst was hosting the show, later expressing further disgust at the fact that Placebo were set to perform after [[Kid Rock]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nyrock.com/interviews/2001/placebo_int2.asp |title=Interview with Brian Molko of Placebo (NY Rock) |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161031213609/http://www.nyrock.com/interviews/2001/placebo_int2.asp |archive-date=October 31, 2016 |access-date=April 23, 2020}}</ref>  On June 11, 1999, Durst was introducing the band [[Staind]], prior to their performance as part of [[WINS-FM|K-Rock]]'s ''[[Dysfunctional Family Picnic]]'' in [[Holmdel Township, New Jersey|Holmdel]], New Jersey, when he once again instigated the audience to chant "Fuck Placebo".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://youtube.com/5lhYoFFF8o0|title=Staind – A Flat Live|website=YouTube}}{{Dead link|date=June 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The feud was reignited during ''[[Big Day Out]]'' 2001, in which Placebo were billed below Limp Bizkit, with the band's bassist, [[Stefan Olsdal]], claiming Placebo was fearful of the audience as they hostily waited for Limp Bizkit's performance during their set.<ref name="PureMoaning" /> By 2004, the feud had reportedly ended.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/placebo-accept-no-substitute-545316.html |title=Placebo: Accept no substitute |date=October 29, 2004 |website=The Independent |language=en |access-date=April 23, 2020 |archive-date=December 15, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191215182854/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/placebo-accept-no-substitute-545316.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
