=== 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 β 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>
