Manson vs MCR

2007-06-06 by samthebassman | 25 Comments
Marilyn Manson is claiming that My Chemical Romance are ripping him off.

Manson has revealed that a song on his new album, "Mutilation Is The Most Sincere Form of Flattery," is about his dislike for My Chemical Romance.

NME has Manson as 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."

Awww looks like someone is jealous a talented band stole his spotlight. He'll probably cry some then be even more upset that his tears ruined his makeup.

To be honest, it's a shit move by Manson. This is what happens to aging established musicians, they influence a new generation of music, whether it be in any genre. The Beatles lived with it, so has Radiohead. Manson basically has to deal with others who wants to site him as an influence on how they play music.
That aside, I don't really see how he is being ripped off.

How are THEY ripping HIM of?

Manson is basicially the biggest gimmick and rip of in music history. He should kill himself.

Maybe Manson is getting sensitive with age.
But those MCR ***ks are pitiable ... whatever.

Anyway, i wouldn't even try to listen to this MCR 'ripped off' song.This Message Edited On 06.06.07

If you read the whole interview you'll notice that Manson never mentions My Chemical Romance, he never hints he is talking about them or only about them. The journalist (from some London journal or something) is the one that mentions them and then the irresponsible journalist from NME makes a misleading article assuring he is talking about My Chemichal Romance and specifically the singer.

This is more like tabloid. I suggest that you take everything with a grain of salt or even better, ignore everything that you hear about this in the future.

I don't like either of those bands. That razorblade comment, regardless of who Manson meant it towards, is ridiculous.

MCR have a totally different style to Manson. Thhey dont sound like him, look like him, speak like him, its totally ridiculous.
And whats this about a razor blade? I wish Manson would take the thing himself and slit his throat: Old, wasted, Jealous Ponce.

manson is just pissed because MCR wont let him suck their suckables. Manson should probably just fuck himself to sleep instead of worrying about a band who really doesnt matter.MCR might be catchy at times, but NAHHHHHH.i cant like them enough to listen to them more than once a year.:D

Seriously, Altmer.

Although it is interesting to note the differences between the comments on this story and the comments on Ultimate Guitar's story of the same topic.

MCR sucks less, MM is a disgrace to real emotional music.

What's this rip-off I hear?

One is pop-punk, the other is industrial

One wears weird parade uniforms, the other looks like a twiggy, long-bodied alien

Weird that I was listening to Kissing the Shadows as I just read that. Follow the Reaper is one of my favorite all time albums. I'm glad this topic turned towards artists that are actually talented.
