In the summer of 1999, Limp Bizkit played at the highly anticipated Woodstock '99 show. However, violent action sprang up during and after their performance, including fans tearing plywood from the walls during a rendition of the band's single Break Stuff. Several rapes and sexual assaults were reported in the aftermath of the concert [2], resulting in deliberately lit "fires and looting when the Red Hot Chili Peppers played the next day. Some have blamed the band for this outbreak, although Fred Durst claimed that none of the instigations he had made at the concert were intended to cause damage. Consequently, the music video for the band's single "Re-Arranged" has the band being tried and violently executed for the Woodstock uproar by the ghost of Jimi Hendrix.
