Feud With Slipknot
Since 1999, Mushroomhead has had an on-and-off rivalry with Iowa-based band Slipknot. The feud erupted (mostly among fans) due to the image similarities between the bands; such as the masks and costumes worn on stage. Before signing Slipknot, Roadrunner Records were interested in signing Mushroomhead, but Mushroomhead passed on the deal. The rivalry is now officially over as confirmed in several interviews with Waylon, ST1TCH and Skinny. Recently Mushroomhead posted on their official Myspace page their thoughts about Paul Gray's death, they stated: "R.I.P. Paul Gray, This feud needs to end. Much Love and Respect to the guys in Slipknot".
In 2012, Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has stated that he is interested in a tour with Slipknot, Mushroomhead, GWAR, and Mudvayne. There is a user group that is trying to make a tour happen with Mushroomhead and Slipknot on Facebook (Filthy Maggots Group Page). Since the group started there has been more than 30,000 people "join" the group in support of the event. It is an open discussion group in order to promote and persuade Slipknot's management in to a tour to happen and the feud to officially end with a friendship.

Famous quotes containing the word feud:
“Sisters we are, yea, twins we be,
Yet deadly feud ‘twixt thee and me;
For from one father are we not,
Thou by old Adam wast begot,
But my arise is from above,”
