The tour began two days after the release of Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water on October 19, 2000.
Three dates were cancelled on October 24 (which got rescheduled for December 11), November 3 and 15 - in lieu of either Fred Durst's voice or what other issues occurred during the tour.
Rapper DMX missed four shows on the tour including a stop on December 17, where there was an issue and had to cancel his performance.
Despite this, the tour ended on a high-note for Limp Bizkit, who were leading the charge of the Nu Metal wave at the time and had enjoyed great and tremendous success during this era.
Eminem said "It's basically the same thing that it was the last Anger Management Tour without Limp Bizkit... Papa Roach are still cool though."
Anger Management 2003 took place in Japan and Europe with support from 50 Cent, Cypress Hill, D12, Xzibit and Obie Trice.
During a stop in Milton Keynes, UK, fans grew restless and agitated at the prolonged 'stage changeovers' between artists and threw bottles of liquid (alcohol, water, and urine) at the stage.
