Marilyn Manson Vs. My Chemical Romance Feud Heats Up, Spice Girls Reunion Still Unconfirmed, And More

6/11/07, 9:14 am EST

Marilyn Manson

  • Marilyn Manson recently claimed that he wrote “Mutilation Is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery,” a new song on his Eat Me, Drink Me album, about My Chemical Romance, who he thinks are ripping him off. My Chem frontman Gerard Way has responded to these accusations. “If Elvis Costello said we sucked we would think about it a bit but usually it is comments from someone with a new record to promote so the remarks ring hollow,” the singer said. “We still haven’t found someone that has knocked us down that we need to take seriously.”
  • Bjork has spoken out in Britney Spears‘ defense, citing her own difficulties managing fame and saying she feels for America’s favorite fallen pop princess. “I definitely feel sympathy for Britney,” the Icelandic singer said. “I had a choice. I could move away. She can’t.”
  • First the Spice Girls reunion was on, then off, then unconfirmed but likely on, then totally never gonna happen. For now, according to Posh’s publicist, the whole thing is unconfirmed again, which implies that one day it won’t be. Updates as they come in!
  • John Mayer and Kanye West once collaborated on a song, “Bittersweet,” snippets of which have been heard over the years but never before has a final, complete version been available. Until now … the track is apparently done and coming out on Kanye’s new album Graduation. Check it out.
  • A man died at the Rock Ness festival in the Scottish Highlands this weekend. The as of yet unidentified 39-year-old was discovered in his car, but his death did not appear to be suspicious.

MM and MCR fan... EMO / HOE! | 4/14/2008, 2:26 pm EST

MM’s music fucken rocks though…
MCR are awsome! no matter what any bitches say!
MM is emo too anyways…
The point is that MCR is FUCKEN hella better than MM!!!!!!

alyssa | 4/14/2008, 10:52 am EST

When I said he asks for hate based on his anti-christian beliefs I don’t mean that he DESERVES hate for them. i just mean that saying and acting like he does in a country with a christian majority is going to end up with him being disliked more than another rock star who is less vocal. i dont like manson as a person because his attitude is so horrifically arrogant. but his music is smart.

alyssa | 4/14/2008, 10:49 am EST

Every band is influenced from another band. MCR has intelligent lyrics and music and tremendous emotion. There is so much depth to the songs. MCR does NOT deserve all the hate that they are getting. Albums should be evaluated rationally and fairly for their strengths and weaknesses- and MCR definitely has both (although in my opinion, MUCH more strengths). Saying they suck and have NOTHING redeeming about them is ignorant. They obviously have talent or their CDs wouldn’t be getting all the great reviews. If you don’t like them, fine. But their music has a lot of depth and means a lot to others. And wile MM does have depth to his music, Marilyn Manson ASKS for hate and controversy more than MCR based on his superior attitude and vocal anti-christian beliefs.

Christian | 4/10/2008, 8:03 pm EST

Manson is a total fucking loser but
I’m not going to subscribe to the belief that MCR not participating in the mud slinging is the reason they’re better. GNR wrote a stupid song slagging of rock journalists and they’re still a legendary band. The proof is in the music. The best comment on this whole issue came from a rock journalist I’ll quote who said:
“Manson is angry at MCR for trying to imitate him, proving he’s too out of touch to realize they never even bothered to identify with him.”

And BTW if they’re imitating anyone, it’s the Smashing Pumpkins, which I’ll forgive given the eerie similarity between how the two frontmen for the bands look.

fuck mcr they suck ass for those mcr fans who think manson has no feeling or heart thats becouse he is only repling to what he see and what hes grown up learnig from the stupid people of amrica and bands like mcr

I THINK MCR IS STUPID FUCK THEM AND ALL YOU EMOS OUT THERE EVERT1 KNOWS MANSON IS BETTER SO JUST GO CUT URSELVES AND FUCK OFF MANSON!!

God. | 3/2/2008, 8:11 pm EST

I think all the fuckers out there who are claiming My Chemical Romance is emo should check out their stuff first. My Chem has said that they don’t particularly want to be associated with that kind of music, and their material is about overcoming personal demons, not slashing your wrists and crying about your life.

And second, think about it; Marilyn Manson has a record to promote. Of course he’s going to start a fight to gain attention.

Don’t yell at me, I’m a devoted Manson fan. But I think that he took it too far and needs to apologize to My Chemical Romance. He’s just being an asshole.

james | 2/16/2008, 6:34 am EST

mcr rock thay are better than manson will ever be

Alli | 1/29/2008, 4:14 pm EST

oh hahaha.
you my chemical romance fans think they’re better then marilyn manson.

what fucking idiots.

marilyn manson is more then they will ever be.

and let me just say,
i don’t hate my chemical romance.
or gerard way.

Rose Hadad | 1/23/2008, 9:22 am EST

I think that Marilyn Manson is picking on My Chemical Romance so he can feel better about himself. Marilyn Manson is really the bully in this entire argument. Gerard is better than Marilyn Manson. Plus he came up with a stupid name for himself by copying both Marylyn Monroe and Charles Manson and made Marlyn Manson. He really is the rip off artist. P.S I also think that he looks like that weird looking guy from both grinde house and scairy movie.

LoBO | 1/13/2008, 3:24 pm EST

Manson Is The Fucking Shit, So you emos can go have sex and cut your selves somewhere else so fuck off and let manson show you how the real music is made!

Manson hater | 12/23/2007, 7:32 pm EST

I find it sad how MCR didn’t even do anything to MAnson

lol | 12/23/2007, 6:39 pm EST

look at that picture of Marilyn Manson and Gerard Way up at the top

Manson looks like a fuckin’ girl! lololol

MCR fan | 12/23/2007, 6:36 pm EST

Manson made a whole song on his new crappy album just to diss MCR

why?

this makes MCR a bigger band…you don’t see them making bitchy songs about Manson

and didn’t Manson have boobs in one of his videos? I don’t recall MCR ever doing that, so MCR is not doing what he’s done

Stay strong My Chem!

Manson fan no more | 12/23/2007, 6:32 pm EST

I was a Manson fan, but he whines W*y too much

w*y to go MCR! :D

me | 12/23/2007, 6:19 pm EST

you guys r all just mad at MCR because they made MM look like a lozer…aha!

MM and The Used have made songs downing MCR…yet MCR hasn’t made any wine,moan,and bitch songs about either of them

so who’s the better group here???

o yeah…that would be My Chemical Romance

NS | 11/12/2007, 12:59 am EST

Hm.. well, I think Marilyn Manson is a genius and I enjoy some of the songs MCR has. Their first real popular song, “I’m not okay” was very catchy and energetic. The thing is well, they are pretty emo. I say this mostly reguarding Mr. War’s comment about them putting all of their thoughts and feelings into it. Emo.. emotional.. you know. They also have more of that style too. Sadly it’s the new thing; you remember when we were all in high school and we (or I assume we because of the topic) were that group they dubbed the goths? Maybe even the freaks? Well slowly this has been changing. Ever since the ska and straight edge hardcore became popular this group has been wearing tighter and tighter pants, and probably crying while they cut themselves. There’s nothing wrong with that either.. just it’s a bit whorish to advertise it don’t you think? They (MCR) does not seem to be like that, even with their pushing the whole school shootings thing with “Teenagers”. Marilyn Manson tries to distance himself from those kinds of things because of Columbine. He’s probably just pissed all these bands are doing the same dark and violent thing, and taking a shot at the biggest of this type. Who cares? We still get to listen to them both and we can just skip the bitching when we’d like. Because we are all influenced by others no one is original anyway, not even Manson himself. I’d to leave this with a few important points.

Manson is cool.
MCR has good music.
Manson has the better fashion sense despite some similarities.
Manson is full of himself.
MCR is mostly emo.
Emo is a little wimpy.

MANSONFAN | 11/11/2007, 12:30 pm EST

OMG MCR FUCKIN SUCK! HOW COULD ANYONE LIKE THEM! MARILYN MANSON FUCKIN ROCKS! AND MCR ARE RIPPING HIM OFF.. THERE NOT EVEN ORIGINAL… THEY CAN SING WROTH SHIT! AND THIS IS TO “MCR-#1″ YEAH I HEARD HEART SHAPED GLASSES AND I THINK ITS A PRETTY GOOD FUCKIN SONG! FUCK ALL U MCR FANS!!!!

Son Of Satan | 11/7/2007, 8:07 am EST

To ‘war’ dude.

calm down u fuckin emo. who are u to say MCR are fuckin original? gasmasks? come overs? matching uniforms? does any of this shit sound original to anyone?

MCR are a disgraceful band and if i had my way i would shoot the fuckers in the head!

MCR = EMO
i do not know how anyone could think that they are not an emo band.

if anyone says MCR are goth then im ashamed to be a goth, a gothic band is cradle of filth u dumb fucks! go listen to some real music!

your hearing this from a mentally disturbed phsycottic goth whoes obsessed with satan!

Im the fuckin son of satan!
i know wat is true.

MCR ARE SHIT!

Marilyn manson fuckin rules!

HAIL TRUE GOTHS!

War | 10/12/2007, 10:47 pm EST

MCR ispirations contain Queen, David Bowie and Bauhaus, They arent ripping them off, They are soluting to them that they enjoy their music.

War | 10/12/2007, 10:44 pm EST

I like both MCR and Marilyn Manson, But Manson is trying to be Goth, and he is far away from it. As for all of you kids who think MCR is emo, You guys are entirely wrong. Lets see here, Manson sings about stupid shit, and MCR puts all of their feelings and thoughts into the songs. At least MCR is fucking original, unlike you people who Label everyone.
Also, MCR is “Alternative Rock’ and Marilyn Manson isnt “goth” but “nu metal”

GET A LIFE FUCKTARDS, stop bringing down MCR, each song of their’s has a meaning.

steve | 10/8/2007, 6:17 pm EST

im sorry, but mcr have copied not only manson, queen, floyd etc. but also decided to go and sell out! personally i think that its a disgusting waste of time that a band has to completely alter it’s style of music just to get more money from a generation of mislead teenagers. instead of challenging todays youth, with sounds that are not necessairily popular, but have the potential to be “the next big thing”, mcr downgraded themselves to give the masses what they want right now, not what they need.

David Bowie Fan | 9/29/2007, 8:53 pm EST

In the early, mid or late 1970’s, David Bowie was singing “Fame” on Soul Train!!!!!!!!!!!!!

manson sings what he believes in and what he has been through, mcr are out to impress emo kids, mcr are just a heavy verson of pop,until mcr release as many great albums as manson they wont be as respected but from helena to teenagers… they are shooting downhill like a giant lead bullet. mcr better shape up or get out of the ring.

Amanda | 8/31/2007, 9:27 pm EST

I wrote something similar to this on a fuse blog, I would like to write it here too.To me Manson is all about shock and My Chemical Romance are all about storytelling and giving that storytelling a heart with every song and album, because they are all heart. The best artists are the ones who are all heart and have big imaginations just like My Chemical Romance. Manson really shot himself in the foot and hanged himself with this commet. It’s his opinion, but does he seriously think he didn’t pick up any influence from Alice Cooper or Kiss? He is being pathetic and stupid. My Chemical Romance are genuine article artists who TOTALLY ROCK!!! One of the best bands EVER!!!

Just So You Know | 8/27/2007, 8:46 pm EST

My Chemical Romance is going to be on MTV’s My Super Sweer 16, The 16 year old is fighting cancer. Does anybody know what date it’s going to be on?

Anonymous | 8/25/2007, 10:45 pm EST

macey how DARE you say that about MCR.
I’m a Fan of both But i’m 100% siding with MCR!

Sepnova | 8/15/2007, 3:47 am EST

Am I the only Manson fan that isnt a retard. First off bands like MCR have no orignality. They stole from everyone not just Manson. If I was Green Day or the Vines I would be pissed. Second, Manson never copied anyone. The songs that he remade were legally purchased and sound better than the originals. Third, Manson in no way shape or form copied Alice Cooper or David Bowie. The make-up is different, the lyrics or different, and the vocalist is much more talented. Have you guys even read Mansons book “Long Hard Road Out Of Hell” David Bowie may have been an influence, but the only trace of this I see is a few remakes. And if I was a MCR fan I would be pissed. That band sold out on The Black Parade. They should just stop making music while they have a fan base left.

Anoymus | 8/7/2007, 4:20 pm EST

Anybody hear know if MCR is nomated for the mtv vmas this year? b/c I was going to vote for them. Gerared has a new g/f? I thought he broke up with her? When are they getting married?

Patty. | 7/29/2007, 11:54 pm EST

omg, no one is copying anyone .
Marilyn Manson just wants to promote his album .
but please listen to mcr and then to manson and you’ll notice a big difference .
they dont sound nor look the same .

MCR copying Manson… ok i get it. Manson the king of originality??? Not so much… Alice Cooper, anyone?

Pandora | 7/12/2007, 9:01 pm EST

I’m sorry Manson takes a stand on modern day issues why all MCR has done is whine about how crap there lives are Manson music has something to say about the world and it is no “kill you parents” “kill yourself” as every goddamn Christian well have you believe, he is a far more creative artist then MCR, unlike MCR who say outright what there feeling in a blatant way (and that shows how dumb MCR fans are that need to be told everything outright)
Manson uses metaphors so you have to look deeper then the surface.

80snewwavechild | 7/10/2007, 6:21 pm EST

Can’t we all just get along? I like both My Chemical Romance and Marilyn Manson. I rather listen to them than stupid pop, stupid country, stupid rap, and stupid hip hop.

marilyn manson all the way.. fuck mcr

Whogivesanut | 6/25/2007, 1:55 am EST

How come Manson didnt have anything to say until his new album came out.

MCR is more a rip off of Queen and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

But honestly did anyone besides 16 year old boys and girls care when they read this.

bL1nKx8r2 | 6/24/2007, 3:02 am EST

ummm..idk if you guys have ever dissected some of mcr’s songs, such as mama or the end but they are some true works of genius….bot key and tempo changes not commonly seen anywhere today..im a music major amd though it is obviosly not to the level of classical works..it is still an extremely well written (music and lyrrically) album and you would have to know absolutely nothing about music to disagree

Jasmin | 6/12/2007, 9:12 pm EST

Oh well, they both make good music. As long as they keep doing that, does it matter whether they copy or not?

not amused | 6/12/2007, 4:21 pm EST

Manson was good. I loved his stuff (his music and ideas) but now he’s more interested in banging a 19 year old girl. MCR, yes they are new and yes thier lastest CD has sort of been a sell-out. But all artist have done this at least once in their carrers. Overall, Manson needs to shut up and work because what he said about MCR was unprovoked and childish.

My Chemical Mainstreamers | 6/12/2007, 11:50 am EST

I’m sorry to say that MCR have finally washed up. Their new album sucks arse along with all their new videos. I mean, come on and get some creativity guys. I used to love them but sadly I’ve realized just how much they stink.

On the other hand, Mr. Manson pwns. whats there not to love about the Anti-christ Superstar.

My Chemical Romance are a bunch of emo’s currently dancing and sining in the mainstream.

siobhan | 6/12/2007, 6:00 am EST

i like your music you have made up it sounds allright

Vladiato | 6/11/2007, 9:59 pm EST

Manson’s been around for how long now? 10-15 years? MCR hasn’t been around for nearly that long. Inspiration comes from somewhere, makes me wonder why Manson doesn’t feel flattered instead of cheated.

great_sphinx_42 | 6/11/2007, 6:18 pm EST

Marilyn Manson has never called himself “goth”. He has always defined the music he and his band make as “metal”.

That said, at least the last generation’s gothy metal folks (Manson, NIN, etc.) were doing the proper rock-starish thing to do and looking to offend or challenge people. These emo kids just want everyone to like them- how… bubblegum pop.

T-Nasty | 6/11/2007, 5:56 pm EST

Manson: Fans grew up, he grew old.

My Chemical Romance: Sorry, I’m 24, therefore too old.

lol at both of them

J | 6/11/2007, 4:44 pm EST

All music is influenced by what came before. If you believe in Evolution, maybe the first music was made by protozoa. Everything afterward ripped it off in some way.

I personally would rather listen to protozoa than to My Chemical Romance or Marilyn Manson.

The Hellion James Konz | 6/11/2007, 3:47 pm EST

off the underworld evolution soundtrack and that’s because i like the style of the remix. if i had a band i’d make a song about people who have nothing better to do than post comments that are almost ridiculous. people bitch too much these days.

The Hellion James Konz | 6/11/2007, 3:35 pm EST

personally i do think that manson doesn’t get the props he deserves. people like him, maynard james keenon and trent reznor make rock exciting. the sad thing is most of mansons criticism is on him and not his music. I do see where’s he coming from. and i’m not saying this cause he is one of my favorites along with nails and skinny puppy. mcr is just to marketable and watered down to me. i do like some of the messages they deliver but musically the only song of theirs i can dig is the black light burns remix

Rich | 6/11/2007, 3:34 pm EST

The only thing that I ever found intriguing about Marilyn Manson was the missing rib/blow job tour. Now that was creative genius.

Other than that, the middle schoolers who once listened to his music have all grown up and gone away.

hahaha | 6/11/2007, 3:32 pm EST

I love how dumb these celebrity “feuds” are. I will admit to have a weakness for MCR but I mean, honestly they’re nothing special, they just play with energy. I know nothing about manson so I can’t really say anything there

abandonedstation | 6/11/2007, 3:30 pm EST

gerard way answered pretty well. the only better response would be to say absolutely nothing at all. But don’t hold anything against Marilyn, people. He’s just trying to promote an album. MANSON’S GOTTA EAT!

I smell a Bjork-Britney duet. Or a confusing, artistic, lesbian short film directed by Bjork’s boyfriend.

Here’s how the Spice Girl reunion thing went down. They annouced it to see if there were any promoters/record people interested. There were none. Ergo, reunion over.

Nessie strikes again! That bastard.

Sarah | 6/11/2007, 3:01 pm EST

i’m a fan of both, but i think Marilyn Manson should chill out. Did Slipknot or Mushroomhead rip you off too?

Steve | 6/11/2007, 2:53 pm EST

Manson said Axl stole his idea of covering a Charles Manson song……

For me, if someone copies me and it’s an idea I’m not too attached to then I don’t mind, but if it’s an idea I really like and someone steals and beats me to the punch with it then I get pissed off.

I can’t tell if Manson is totally against copying ideas or when people copy the ideas he likes.

J | 6/11/2007, 2:46 pm EST

What is that saying, and I paraphrase, “an artist borrows, a genius steals”? If true, then both Marilyn and MCR are frickin’ Einsteins. Holy Crap, I must idolize the wrong people…

MCR-#1 | 6/11/2007, 2:25 pm EST

Manson is a wash up, (I mean really, have you heard the new song Heart Shaped Glasses? BARF!) and he has to attack MCR because they have REAL music and talent. Manson is a poor rip off of Alice Cooper. He’s a loser and it doesn’t matter if he says anything in response to the MCR comment, he is still an irrelevant idiot.

paki | 6/11/2007, 2:23 pm EST

neither have anything original or decent to bring to the table

Skinny Puppy, Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim are goth. Americans think any male who wears eyeliner is “goth.” MCR are ripping off Queen more than anything else, while Manson has taken more than a few riffs from David Bowie.

manson needs to give way a whippin’

Since when was EITHER Manson or MCR goth?!!

Try ROZZ fxxking WILLIAMS, for hell’s sake.

That lead singer of MCR scarily looks like Billy Corgan with hair.

the voice of reason | 6/11/2007, 12:18 pm EST

What’s really pathetic about this whole thing is that Manson wrote a song about My Chemical Romance.

I just love the way gerard says the same thing about everyone who offends MCR… he doesn’t go into personal details, to him it’s like they’re all the same shit, which I think is great.

but also, I think it would have been better if he just wouldn’t have said anything in the first place, then manson would have looked like an irrelevant idiot whose words do nothing to the person he’s trying to offend.

I don’t know why gerard had to speak about it, but I guess that some people disrespect MCR so many times, that at the end of the day, even if he doesn’t want to give it any importance, it may end up breaking his balls a little bit.

Marilyn Manson and My Chemical Romance are both pop acts. In that battle, the winner is Justin Timberlake.

Gracie | 6/11/2007, 11:34 am EST

B & C would win.

Stuporfly | 6/11/2007, 11:32 am EST

Who would win if Marilyn Manson and My Chemical Romance had a fight to the death with pool cues?

A) Marilyn Manson
B) My Chemical Romance
C) The listening public

meglovesrs | 6/11/2007, 11:27 am EST

uumm….haha the antichrist wins. Sorry MCR.

Manson said the same thing about Green Day when his last album came out.

Jakobi | 6/11/2007, 10:29 am EST

So apparently Marilyn Manson invented Goth?

The only reason he’s even heard of MCR anyway is because his girlfriend is in their target demographic.

spaceboy | 6/11/2007, 10:21 am EST

Dear My Chemical Romance and Mr. Manson,
Would you please stop copying us now?

Signed,
David Bowie and Alice Cooper
