Marilyn Manson Versus My Chemical Romance

Marilyn Manson has lashed out at My Chemical Romance, claiming the band have basically ripped off his style.

In an interview with The London Paper, Manson said of the band "I'm embarrassed to be me because these people are doing a really sad, pitiful, shallow version of what I've done."

He also went on to reveal how a new song entitled Mutilation Is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery on his forthcoming Eat Me, Drink Me album is about the group.

Explaining the meaning of the track, Marilyn Manson added: "If they want to identify with me then here's a razor blade. Call me when you're done and we'll talk."
