Schlocking rocker Marilyn Manson has launched an attack on Gerard Way's My Chemical Romance, who he claims are plagiarising him.
Speaking to daily bilge bible The London Paper, Manson revealed that the song 'Mutilation is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery' from his latest album was written about Way's band. Sample lyric: "Fuck you, fuck you".
Really? Expand:
"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."
Whadda betch! Whadda you reckon, DiS public? Speak and the world shall listen. I'm off home to pay the rent. That means I'll have £300 in my pocket. If any of you can get to me on London's travel network as I journey home, I'll set you a tenner. Truth.
Nowt to do with Manson having an album to promote
of course
They're Corgan wannabes
Not manson wannabes.
Sheesh.
and
they do a fucking shite job of that
a Toto LP must have been put in their copy of mellon collie.
...
So as he slides ever deeper into the superficial, one-dimensional mediocrity that has typified his entire musical output, Manson is forced by his own long-suppressed feelings of inferiority to lash out at the burgeoning legions of Manson clones that reflect most ably the cartoonish shallowness of his own work.
This is delicious, like sweet, sweet butter. And I don't mind at all that this is the second time I've typed that phrase today.
God willing Oasis will start slagging off Kaiser Chiefs et al and I'll be back.
:D
Sweet butter?
Urgh.
Manson talking out of his arse again.
The only similarity that I can see is that, like Manson, MCR have a tendency to wear black.
They both play
over the top derivative glam rock poo!
oh fuck off Brian
"If they want to identify with me then here's a razor blade. Call me when you're done and we'll talk." Meaning what?
Manson:
"...a really sad, pitiful, shallow version of what I've done."
Man, how sad, pitiful and shallow would THAT be?
Like an ant with no legs
drowning in his own tears inside the f-hole of the world's smallest violin because he's lost his favourite hair straighteners.

*rubs fingers together in imitation of world's smallest violin playing juuust for B. Warner*
Manson is an idiot
MCR don't even sound anything like him. Prat
Yawn.
Can you tell that someone is a bit jealous?
This is twice that I know of that Manson has openly attacked MCR.
What's with the razor blade crap? Emo bullshit. That's what that is. MCR is not and never has been emo.
*is bored* Wake me when Manson actually says something that makes sense...for once!
are you a nutsack?
that manson quote is silly but how you can deny MCR's links to emo (at least in the modern sense of the word) is ridiculous. have you seen their new video? that gerard way crying into the camera like a right tart.
i like cap'n'jazz and mark kozelek's voice. i am going to bed.
Bullshit
It looks more like a Suede video.
are Suede emo?
YOU DECIDE.
We're
TRASH YOU AND ME, WE'RE THE LITTER ON THE STREET
emo?
For such an intelligent man
Marilyn Manson is quite good at making a fool of himself

Good old Mazza
I thought MCR were ripping off Queen more than Manson.
I like Manson but its a shame that his music has always been a bit mediocre, though much better than MCR of course.
London Paper > London Lite
By a long way. Yeah.
