Slipknot Incidents

Shawn dukes it out with TTE security
----------------------------------------
Shawn Crahan, Hatebreed, a Slipknot drum tech, and some band members from One Minute Silence are involved in a scuffle with "Tattoo The Earth" security at Wisconsin. The whole ruckus started after TTE security spotted Shawn (whom they thought was a fan) driving a golf cart around the venue. Security, fearing the safety of the concert goers, pulled Shawn and the rest of the passengers off the golf cart and proceeded to arrest them. Shawn tried to fight back and once Hatebreed (close friends of the band) saw that Shawn was in trouble, joined the fray. Shawn was eventually maced then cuffed by security. Members of Hatebreed and security both filed police reports but no charges have been made.

John Davis clear things.
---------------------------
Korn frontman Jonathan Davis cleared out rumors circulating about them being mad at Slipknot. Jon Davis said that they too, are pissed at David Silveria for posing at a Teen Magazine and they agree with Slipknot's stand on the issue.

Shawn takes out a fan.
-------------------------
Shawn, at the Montreal Show, beat up a fan. The way they posted it, it sounded like Shawn was a fucking asshole. But the fan had it coming.

The guy was actually there to make fun of Slipknot. The guy kept saying "Fuck Slipknot" and "I'm waiting for that faggot clown so I can talk to the motherfucker" the whole time.

During the Slipknot set, the guy kept saying "Everyone, say SlipSnot!" "Slipknot sucks" and so on. During Scissors, this guy started giving Shawn the finger. Shawn and Sid retorted with fingers and ''throat-slits''. The guy then made a sign with his hands to Shawn, beckoning him to come down and fight. Shawn then came down to the floor level and gave the guy one hell of a punch in the face. Admit it, the guy deserved it. The guy then tried to jump over the gate and that's when the security guy shoved him back into the pit.

So the asshole got a bloody lip, and chickened out when Shawn came out the back door. Shawn looked pissed. He just signed a few autographs, took a few pictures and left.

Oh, one last thing, why did this guy insult Slipknot in the first place?

Turns out that he's in a band and he thinks they're better than Slipknot. Yeah as stupid as that.

Well, I hope this clarified the matter somewhat. In the pit, perspectives can get fucked, so I guess the guy that sent the previous new piece made an honest mistake.

Slipknot/Limp Bizkit War.
----------------------------
The war eventually started after a close friend of the band (rumored to be Ross Robinson), informed the band that he saw a news post on Kerrang! Magazine that someone from Limp Bizkit, called Slipknot fans as "fat and ugly kids". Corey retaliated by warning Fred Durst: "You might have a lot of money and be famous, but the next time you talk shit about Slipknot and it's fans....we will kill you". After that, Slipknot started burning Limp Bizkit paraphernalia one-by-one on every live Slipknot show, especially with Durst on it.

A few months after, a local radio station asked Fred Durst what he thinks about Slipknot and Durst mentioned that he loves Slipknot fans and Kerrang! were liars. Durst proved his point even better when he jumped on a trailer at the shooting of their music video "Break Stuff" and started screaming things that he liked about Rage Against The Machine, Incubus and of course, Slipknot. However, that wasn't enough to convince Corey. He still believes that Durst said it and can't back it up. A month later on Rock Feuds 2, a follow-up to the Ultrasound documentary by MTV, Fred Durst gained the ire of Slipknot once again. In the interview, Durst pointed out that people wouldn't have heard of Slipknot if they weren't trashing other bands. This feud is far from over.
