What went wrong with Woodstock '99? (video)

(BondFan91) It's probably better to blame Fred Durst for the fiasco. He is not the only problem, just a sort of ignition switch, antagonizing matters. According to commenter R P, "If anyone 's wondering, they did cut Fred's mic during 'Nookie' because he was unintentionally inciting the chaos in the crowd."
How Woodstock '99 went off the rails
(Weird History, 5/29/20)
The 30th anniversary celebration of the Woodstock Music and Art Festival took place in Rome, New York from July 22-25, 1999. But what was originally conceived of as a modern homage to the landmark hippie-fueled musical lovefest of the 1960s ended up mutating into a disaster marked by aggression and nu metal mayhem. By the end, Woodstock '99 was being referred to as "The Woodstock '99 Riots."
What caused Woodstock '99 to become such a low point in music history? The major culprits were oppressive summer heat, jacked-up price gouging by vendors, violent party crashers, and a lack of logistical oversight. When more than 220,000 people arrived to Oneida County that weekend, no one -- especially not the festival's organizers -- were prepared for what was about to happen.
