Marilyn Manson brands My Chemical Romance 'sad and pitiful'

The shock rocker lays into Gerard Way's band

2 hours ago
Marilyn Manson has stuck the knife into fellow goth types My Chemical Romance, claiming they're ripping him off.

In an interview with The London Paper he revealed that the song 'Mutilation Is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery', from his new album 'Eat Me, Drink Me', is about Gerard Way's outfit. It features the blunt lyrics, "Fuck you, fuck you".

He elaborated on his attack on the band, saying, "I'm embarrassed to be me because these people are doing a really sad, pitiful, shallow version of what I've done.

"If they want to identify with me then here's a razor blade. Call me when you're done and we'll talk."

The swipe comes days before the two acts are set to share a stage, albeit one day after one another, at the Download Festival at Donington Park. MCR headline on Friday, with Manson playing before headliners Linkin Park the day after.

NME.COM will be coming live from both the Isle Of Wight and Download festival sites this weekend, so stay tuned for exclusive news, blogs and pictures from both events.

how can they rip off someone that is not talented. haha..what a joke.

no one is ripping him off (please see alice cooper).

but, i like the way hes trying to ride the publicity coattails of a band thats way more famous than him right now by beefing, and hoping that no one will notice because hes a "shock" rocker and not in hip hop.

now, i was a Marilyn fan a few years ago & i'd probably gut myself with a meathook before i ever even considered becoming an MCR fan.... but i've never thought they sounded similar. they're in two different genres of music and he's saying they're ripping him off.. why? because they wear black? i don't get it. Manson's being a douche for the sake of album sales through controversy.
