's performance of "Break Stuff
" during Woodstock 1999
as a contributing factor in instigating the violence and vandalism which occurred at the festival. When asked to help defuse an already volatile situation by concert promoters, Durst told the crowd, "I don't think you should mellow out. This is 1999, motherfuckers - stick those Birkenstocks up your ass!" According to reports by certain media pundits, in response to the song, concert-goers committed acts of vandalism, tearing planks from the stage and throwing garbage at an MTV crew. At least four women were raped at the concert; one rape was reported by many witnesses to have been committed right in front of the stage during Limp Bizkit's performance. In response to the controversy, guitarist Wes Borland stated:
At the K-Rock (WXRK) Dysfunctional Family Picnic
concert in 2000, Limp Bizkit and Durst were criticized on stage by Scott Weiland
of Stone Temple Pilots
for taking to the stage an hour late. At the same concert, when Durst took the stage, he erupted in a furious rant about Creed
singer Scott Stapp
, saying:
During Creed's set, Stapp responded by saying, "It takes a lot more guts to say something to somebody than from behind their backs."
Durst was also criticized for his comments related to the death of Australia
n teenager Jessica Michalik
, who was crushed to death during Limp Bizkit's set at the 2001 Big Day Out
concert in Sydney. Durst claims that he made his concerns about security known days before the incident, but they fell on deaf ears. The senior deputy coroner into the inquest criticised Durst's "reprehensible" behaviour, describing his comments as "inflammatory and insulting to the security personnel who were engaged in their best efforts to extricate crucially injured patrons from the crowd collapse." The coroner further remarked that "Mr. Durst took advantage of a terrible situation to air his contempt for the promoters and security. Yet there were moments when he sensibly urged them to look after one another and pick each other up".
For a week leading up to Limp Bizkit's Summer Sanitarium 2003 concert in Chicago
, Mancow Muller
mocked Fred Durst on his radio show, inviting fans to attend the concert with anti-Durst placards. These suggestions from Muller were stated in response to Durst's behavior at a Guitar Center
competition where hundreds of people showed up to audition for the spot of Limp Bizkit's new guitarist, wherein Durst arrived late, displaying a gesture with his finger to the awaiting crowds, before quickly leaving. When Mancow Muller
's fans arrived at the Summer Sanitarium concert event with the suggested placards, therefore openly taunting the singer while booing him and hitting him with refuse, Durst erupted into a profanity-laced tirade, leaving the stage after only 17 minutes of the show. Due to Durst not completing the show, he was eventually sued for breach of contract.
was notified while on the Anger Management Tour
that former House Of Pain
member Everlast
had mocked him on a song. Eminem and Everlast had crossed paths at a concert in early 1999. Eminem says he did not greet Everlast because he did not recognize him right away, and said Everlast did not acknowledge him. Everlast's version is that he tried to congratulate Eminem on his success, and Eminem blew him off. From this, Everlast's had a verse on the Dilated Peoples all star track "Ear Drums Pop (Remix)" containing a thinly veiled reference to Eminem ("Cock my hammer, spit a comet like Haley/I buck a .380 on ones that act shady"), and went on to warn "You might catch a beatdown out where I come from" in his recounting of the incident." Taking offense to this, Eminem and D12 quickly began work on a retaliatory song, "I Remember." This prompted Everlast to record "Whitey's Revenge." Eminem and D12 then responded with the song "Quitter." It was reported that long-time friends of Eminem, Limp Bizkit
, were meant to be featured on the song, but Durst canceled at the last moment. The record continued its release without featuring Limp Bizkit, causing the Everlast-Mathers dispute to continue. In a TRL
interview, Limp Bizkit (and former House of Pain
) member, DJ Lethal
, made a statement that if Mathers and Everlast were to fight in real life, Everlast would win. This angered Eminem to the point of rage, and an insulting track aimed at both Everlast and Limp Bizkit (mainly Durst and Lethal) appeared on D12's mainstream debut, Devil's Night
, as the track "Girls."
and Limp Bizkit started when a close friend of Corey Taylor
(Slipknot's lead vocalist) told him that he heard that someone from Limp Bizkit called Slipknot fans a bunch of "fat ugly kids." It eventually turned out that the Corey Taylor's friend saw this on a news post from Kerrang!
. Fred Durst told a radio station that Kerrang! were liars and he is actually a fan of Slipknot. After a while the feud eventually seemed to have stopped. The end of the feud was confirmed on December 9, 2010 when Fred was asked on the Tom Green's House Tonight if he still had any beef with Corey Taylor, Fred replied "No, we're completely on the same page, it's a good friendship coming."
In the song 90.2.10 from Gold Cobra, Corey Taylor and Slipknot are mentioned in the song's lyrics. "Corey Taylor got a harem chasin him around. We ain't slippin with his knot, then we goin down."
's performance at the 2000
VMAs, Fred Durst entered onstage and performed a part of Limp Bizkit's song "Livin' It Up" with Aguilera, surprising the audience due to the differences between their music styles and also because rapper Eminem
, with whom Durst had a conflict in the past, previously accused in his song "The Real Slim Shady
", that Aguilera and Durst had a sexual relationship, which both denied. After eliciting charged reactions from his fans, Durst stated: "I already told you guys before, I did it all for the nookie
, man." The feud died weeks later. Aguilera denied Durst's statement: "He got no nookie."
) for the rest of my life". He reportedly had "wild" "unprotected" sex after she seduced him in a see through blouse. He also went on record hinting she was a natural blonde and had a better body than his ex-girlfriend Carmen Electra.

Durst is a playable character in the Fight Club

Durst was mentioned in rapper Eminem

had performed oral sex
on Durst and television host Carson Daly
by following lyrics: Shit, Christina Aguilera, better switch me chairs/so I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst/and hear 'em argue over who she gave head

When asked to help defuse an already volatile situation by concert promoters, Durst told the crowd, "I don't think you should mellow out.

According to reports by certain media pundits, in response to the song, concert-goers committed acts of vandalism, tearing planks from the stage and throwing garbage at an MTV crew. At least four women were raped at the concert; one rape was reported by many witnesses to have been committed right in front of the stage during Limp Bizkit's performance. In response to the controversy, guitarist Wes Borland stated:
"OK. Woodstock. Dusty ground for sure, but you’re basing your idea of our involvement there on the media’s slanted view of what happened. We were the poster child, in a nutshell, because we have a song called 'Break Stuff'. The crux of that whole fiasco didn’t take place until the next day, yet news stations everywhere were broadcasting images of our set immediately followed by the fires burning and fences being taken down 24 hours later. We’re going to have to agree to disagree on what happened there, because my view and the popular view (which basically uses us as the scapegoat and excludes a plethora of additional problems: overpriced vendors, ATMs running out of money, alcohol influenced mayhem, and general mob mentality behavior) don’t match up. We never said: 'please fight each other, burn everything, and rape.' We didn’t even allude to it. We did our thing."
