As per LA Weekly, 1999 marked a turning point for the feud and for the bands, where Faith No More went on hiatus and Patton returned to front his other band, Mr. Bungle. That summer, Mr. Bungle discovered that their sets had been cut from several music festivals because Kiedis threatened to pull RHCP out of their shows if Mr. Bungle wasn't kicked out. Naturally, Patton responded the only way one could: by performing at a Halloween show dressed as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with Mr. Bungle mocking the band by butchering all their songs and pretending to inject heroin.
In 2016, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld perpetuated the decades-long feud when he called Red Hot Chili Peppers the "worst band on the planet" and "poor man's Faith No More," per Consequence of Sound.
During a live broadcast, he claimed: "I want to explain that we live in a binary universe. You're either a Faith No More fan, or a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. You cannot love Mike Patton and Anthony Kiedis, because they are two different people. You have to love Mike Patton, you cannot love Anthony Kiedis. So that is why the Red Hot Chili Peppers are the worst band in the universe, because Faith No More is the greatest band in the universe."
