=== 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.
