Manson Vs My Chem: Round 2

My Chemical Romance have responded to claims by Marilyn Manson that the New Jersey emo titans are mere copycats.

In last week's Kerrang! (issue 1163), we reported that Manson had blasted MCR, saying he was embarrassed because "these people are doing a really sad, pitiful, shallow version of what I've done".

Speaking exclusively to K! this week, guitarist Frank Iero answered back to Manson's taunting.

"We're Marilyn Manson fans," says Iero. "I think he's really cool. The funny thing is that he seems to have lashed out at us about the make-up. That's weird to me, because I had heard of Alice Cooper before I heard of Marilyn Manson. I don't know how he could be mad at us. We never came out and said we were going to call ourselves by girl's name and then a serial killer's name.

"I'm really sorry if he feels we ripped him off," he adds. "It would have been nice if he could have said something to our faces but he's been all smiles every time I've seen him. Maybe he's doing it for the press. Some people just like to talk..."

tbh i think that Frank and MCR shouldnt say sorry

coz they are doing their own thing.

i think its kinda pathetic how Maralyn Manson can say that shit about them coz at least they write their own songs all the time

MARILYN should back off
i'm a fan of both of these bands but i have a lot more respect for mcr for replying to this really sad comment with dignity and rising above the childness of the comment.

Marilyn manson has just lost a fan !!!!!

Manson is wrong, MCR don't wear that much make up and pretend to be a woman. MCR wear some make up yes, but not to the extent Manson use it. The bands sound nothing alike. I like both bands, but Mason is definately wrong.

BLIMEY, AND MY CHEM HAVE DONE A LOT FOR ME, ALOT MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE. HE CAN SHOVE HIS EGO UP HIS ARSE, IF IT'LL EVEN FIT!

Go Frankie!
This just proves that MM is dong it for publicity.
Manson should get over himself, If anyone has the right to complain its Alice Cooper himself, not some cheap imatiaon rip off, which is what Manson is.
At least MCR have their own style, which matches their album.

MCR are truly in the right here! and they are NOT emo!
They did not copy him at all.
He just wants to create drama between the two bands. I Actually like Manson myself but ive changed my mind since i realise he just a petty pathetic excuse for a Rockstar!
He needs t grow up! Stirring shit for no f**kin reason!

Posted by Laura | June 21, 2007 2:09 PM | Reply to this

I think MCR totally kicked Mansons butt
and i'm totally for MCR
cos the comment that Manson said "if they want to identify with me heres a razor call me when you're done and we'll talk" to me is saying go self harm theres nothing wrong with it. Whereas MCR are STOPPING us from going and self harming telling us its not the way to go etc. Gerard and MCR have their own style, why the fuck would they need to copy Mansons? why would anyone want to copy mansons??
I'm totally for MCR, and Frank really gave it back which i think is fucking awesome! Manson needs to think before he says shit and we wonder why the press blame rock music for self harm and suicide and violence with comments like Manson said. That to the press would be exactly what they need to stir it up. it's people like manson and the words he speaks thats giving rock music a bad name and its people like MCR and the words they speak thats trying to change that and give kids like me a reason to live!
MCR forever <3

Ha, shut your face you brat, Manson AND MCR are both copying old trends, it's not like their latest albums were done because they "felt right", they did it for the money you tard.

Mansons just gotten big headed over it, I hate it when bands go commercial anyway.

Posted by Spookycuddle | June 21, 2007 2:10 PM | Reply to this

How can there be a round 2 when MCR aren't even trying to fight back. They're at the top of their game right now and Manson is fading. His time is running out. MCR obviously don't care and why should they?

Posted by ashley | June 21, 2007 2:10 PM | Reply to this

get a grip, all you emo losers, manson is a legend and mcr are just crap i hate mcr and emos and they did just copy the goth scene and alter it slightly to make it commercial, its rediculous, mansons right to say what he did! fuck mcr!!

Mcr are not a ripoff of manson...they donot not copy him either..they are simply good at what they do..and tbh i was a fan of manson but i hav know lost respect for him..this this manson wanting publicity...Mcr will only grow stronger from this manson will eventually fade!!! Go FRANK!

Now I'm not a fan of either MCR or MM.
Infact, I can't stand either of them.

However I think it's pretty pathetic how Manson is just blasting out saying that MCR are copying him. Get over it. It's music industry, you're gunna get different bands looking/sounding similar to other bands no matter what.

For one thing Marilyn Manson is 100x better than some shitty 'emo' band who have just learnt to walk, let alone sing. MCR are fucking shit I thought I was going to die of bordem watching them at download. But Marilyn Manson had the fucking best set of the weekend. I'm supporting Manson all the way. Fuck MCR and Fuck all their stupid wanna-be-emo tag alongs! x

manson has more talent in his little finger than the entire mcr crew have.
im sorry..a bunch of whiny little boys prancing around on stage....badly...can in no way compare to the legend that is marilyn manson.

more mature MCR are they just didn't exactly slate him, but made him look like the weird son of a bitch he is. GOOD JOB MCR!

Posted by SarAH | June 21, 2007 2:12 PM | Reply to this

I have been a fan of manson since i was sixteen and i think that he is way better than MCR, just like a lot of other bands at the moment like Panic and Fall Out Boy they are very much aimed at mini mosher kids, which is cool cos its good for those guys to be individual. But I'm not a fan apart from im okay!!!

However i do not think that they are anything like Manson and they have taken his bad comments like mature adults, so much respect guys even though im not your biggest fan!!!

Posted by Gemma | June 21, 2007 2:13 PM | Reply to this

ok i think manson is disgusting honestly
its not like he STARTED the gothic make-up wearing theme
hes just a pussy who wants to be a woman :D

Posted by eli [brutality] | June 21, 2007 2:13 PM | Reply to this

In my opinion, I think Manson's only doing it for press, to promote his new record that's all.
I don't think he hasn't ever copied anyone. He isn't exactly original is he.
As much as Im a fan of both MCR and Manson. MCR are so much more original. They don't do the same thing over again. Atleast their lyrics make SENSE!!

Posted by Linzi | June 21, 2007 2:13 PM | Reply to this

ooh, does it hurt manson that he's actually NOT VERY POPULAR? MCR are one of the most influential bands of the modern day, they've actually helped a load of people, and mansons just jealous of that. he's attention seeking and wrong. GO FRANKIE! Well done for standing up for yourself in such a dignified way. I LOVE MCR!

Posted by Jayde | June 21, 2007 2:14 PM | Reply to this

Two things:

First, if you are a true fan of a band, you don't give a shit about what they say or don't say in the press. You like their music, so everything else is irrelevant.

Second, Marilyn Manson said a few years ago that nothing is original anymore, merely presented in a different way.

Posted by Exangell | June 21, 2007 2:14 PM | Reply to this

Manson has a right to be fucking pissed off! He plays better music and has been around longer and then get beaten to headlineing Download by a bunch of emo fags. I wouldnt wanna even put my name in the same sentance as MCR if I was Manson, let alone compair them to myself. Fair enough, I dont see how they're ripping him off, if they are, they're doing a preaty shity job.

Posted by Ell [BBB] | June 21, 2007 2:15 PM | Reply to this

Maybe MM is just jealous that MCR got a headline slot at Download and he didn't.

Posted by Cwag | June 21, 2007 2:15 PM | Reply to this

Personally i think that Marilyn has no right to go round saying stuff bout other bands like this, he might as well just slate all the goths for copying his dress sense!!!!
Although i do think that it is also unfair people on here saying 'MCR are emo and shit' and 'All emos should be lined up and shot' cos that's is your opinion and there are alot of people who like both MCR and Marilyn Manson and othr people should respect that

Posted by Raych | June 21, 2007 2:15 PM | Reply to this

I FINK THT MANSON IS JUST JEALOUS OF MCR + ALL THE ATTENTION THER GETTIN WHEREAS MANSON'S TIME IS JUST OVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I MEAN THE WHOLE MAKE UP FING, MCR DONT LOOK ANYTHIN LYK MANSON AS MANSON WEARS WAY TOO MUCH HES JUST OVA THE TOP

MCR ARE SOOO MUCH MORE REAL

yeah.

marilyn manson is amazing. my chem were good, but have now become sell out fakes.

no matter what they say they have lost so much respect with their album 'black parade'

manson will always have more respect by me than them.

and they are just going with the trend of selling out to get more money, their copying pretty much every other band that has done that before.

You know what

this is all rather funny, its just another excuse for one stereotype to have a go at another..

this is great for kerrang, gives them something interesting to report that they KNOW will envoke strong reactions.

Posted by Kat | June 21, 2007 2:16 PM | Reply to this

Tbh, Maralyn manson has been around alot longer then MCR so He has more right to shout his mouth off about what he wants.
Maralyn manson will never fade because look at the amount of time hes been around and hes still going strong.
MCR just need to take what Maralyn Manson said about them into concideration, and realise that Maralyn Manson isn't the only one that thinks it either.

I used to be a fan of both MCR and Maralyn Manson, But now that MCR have gone mainstream and let fame get to their heads, I've totally gone off them, all they've done is follow the crowd just like everyother mainstream band.

I'm still a fan of Maralyn Manson, and I have a lot of respect for him. He speaks the truth, its just some of you are too wrapped up in the mainstream scene to see the truth.

dudes it doesn't matter what ppl say about MCR or Manson really

Manson is a rock god and will always be one, where MCR is a different type of music, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter what ppl think of the bands or there fans rock music is a great way of not following other and being what yab wante to be..

As a fan of both Manson and MCR, I agree with this comment. I don't think MCR should have to apologise and I don't think Manson should be attacking them. I can't see why he feels they've ripped him off when both bands are completely different. Sadly, it appears Manson is only after the press attention seeing he’s got a new album out!

Frank showed alot of maturity in the way he spoke,not only did he show how two-faced Manson is about the whole thing,he also shut him up with the refrence to Alice Cooper.He very subtly 'won' this whole thing for MCR.

Posted by Pat Loughnane | June 21, 2007 2:18 PM | Reply to this

I think that was a fair response from Frank! That shows that Manson is just acting like a big fucking kid...bitching about some one behind their backs instead of taking it like a man and saying it to their faces! Manson sucks!!...MCR rock!!!

I think Frank has a point, he probably just said it for the press... it was a very arrogant thing to say anyway, which I thought would be totally out of character. It's made me lose my respect for Manson... I'm just hoping that 'the London Paper' twisted his words.

Alright, BRIAN WARNER is being a tad immature. So...there are many 'emo' bands that wear make up. But why does Warner choose to lash out at MCR? Because they are one of the biggest bands around at the moment, IE: Gaining him more publicity. I love both MCR & Manson, but I've gotta say that he is just being immature & is only attention seeking. The best thing for MCR to do, is to not retaliate at all. That would proberly piss Warner off even more.

firstly i have to say im nore a manson fan than mcr, dont get me wrong i do like mcr....but manson is the winner every time in my book.
fair play to mcr for saying that, i mean they could have just slated manson for what he said, and lets be honest....theyres plenty so say about manson!!!
its amazing what some people do what theyre bored isnt it manson.... :)

as a devoted fan of both bands its hard to decide who's side im on.I can fully understand were manson is coming from what with mcr copying the whole line across the face thing but other than that they are completely different. one an emo band the other the GOD of fuck....both are very talented musicians but i think mr manson is attention seeking......

Marilyn Manson needs to grow up. MCR Wore that make up time ago they dont even wear it anymore. He's just doing it to get some attention and if he were so bothered about it why diddn't he fucking copyright it? It look better on mcr anyway. Get over it. WEren;t you taught to share when you were little? or haven't you go to that age yet?

Lets face it, My Chemical Romance are perfect to make fun of. Hell they enjoy making fun of themselves at concerts. But there is no logical reason to make fun of them. Maybe except that Gerard looks like Christina Ricci and Ray looks a bit like a pet monkey my friend owns. But when it comes to say the copied Marilyn Manson, its simply ludacris. They do not sing his music. They do not wear trenchcoats.. and usually the only leather is a jacket and/or Gerards gloves. And they change their look monthly. Maybe I'm not a big marilyn Manson sfan to know, but when has he put on a "bulletproof" vest and a stripe across his eyes or X's? And I have rarely hear Marilyn Manson saved my life. Its the most cliche thing a My Chemie fan would say. And yes, I do believe they saved mine, maybe not from death but from a really shitty view of life. I listened to litterally every song they ever recorded and some live ones for the first time in months. I had been depressed about my friends but after that I was happy. I have a healthy look on life. So they paint their faces white. Boo Fucking Hoo. Which band doesnt wear makeup nowadays? I mean they dont even get in band fights. As Frankie said, some people like press and as Gee said, they wont retaliate until someone is worth it. My Chemical Romance stole my look! They promote self harm! They suck! If you gave My Chem. a listen, all 3 albums [ yes they ARE 3] then maybe you'll see they dont promote self harm, and they dont suck. and as for copying Mr. Manson.... Did he ever dye his hair fucking blonde?

Love,

A My Chemical Romance fan.

oh and btw.. I'm rarely biased, and I'll sometimes start argung for what I'm against if someone agrees with me and says something that sounds ood... truth is.. well its hard to see My Chemical Romance in the wrong in this situation.

being a massive MM fan
but still he's starting a full blown bitch fight for no fucking reason

I wish he would just go away. Mcr are the best ,manson needs to get over himself or at least have the guts to say summit to the face instead instead of being all two faced and smiling when he see's them

i do not like either, however.

it's a fabrication to say that MCR copied Manson, when infact i personally can see no similarities, Perhaps in the way Gerad Way has his facial expressions but they are of mere character and not of musical nature.

Every music nowadays is a derivative of another...triviums new stuff is ridiculously like Metallica but you don't hear them moaning.

As if you'd not say it to their face.
His image is all tough i-dont-give-a-fuck and then he cant even say a little thing to their face.
Its just childish.
And MCR look alot better with that makeup, Marilyn just looks like a bit of a fag. PLUS the days of that makeup is over, and they dont even make anywhere NEAR the same music!

MCR all the waee ;

MY Chemical Romance has recently been playing more classic rock with a huge modern twist.

Mainstream today isnt that. Its emo.

Queen is not mainstream. David Bowie is not mainstream.

those are some MAIN influences on The Black Parade,

so they are NOT mainstream with the music.

They sell out shows because they saved so many lives thhose lives want to look up and see them. They're ALL the same guys, getting married, having fun, being amazing to fans.

So please STFU about them being mainstream.

I don't understand why Frank is apologising. MCR haven't done anything wrong and if Manson wants to bitchy about it then that's his problem.

manson doesnt hav many real dedicated fans any more does he? real fans wouldnt start fucking hating him just because he sed mcr were copying him, wtf is that about? big deal if he thinks that its his opinion, its not like he thinks he better than anyone else does he. anyway its not about the personality of the singer its about the music. you cant start hating all his musoc because of oen stupid comment grow up people.

FFS!! wat the hell is manson doing?

i used to like him but now he has just fucked me rite off. its not the fact that he said wat he sed its the fact that hes to chicken to say it to there face. hes probably doing it to get into the press.

i have lost total respect for him now.

he needs to get over petty things like this. hes showing how immature he really is!

I'll be honest i fuckin hate MCR, and i really like Marliyn Manson. but i dont think they should have to appologise. It's not as though what Marilyn Manson does is completely unique, he wasn't the founder of the use of make-up or the whole shock-rock thing. seems like a bit of a pointless argument in my eyes.

Posted by Liam | June 21, 2007 2:31 PM | Reply to this

My Chemical Romance are fantastic; Manson can't handle the fact that he's not the biggest deal any more. I have to admit that I don't dislike Manson, although I think his new music sucks and My Chemical Romance are a lot better...x

I agree with that - Manson is just completely big headed, and yes, it's all about the money.
I don't like MCR or Manson, so I'm neutral here, but it's pretty pathetic and attention seeking of Manson.
At least Frank didn't start arguing back, calling Manson everything under the sun.
I think Marilyn is past it now, it's pathetic.

I think everyone should take a step back and look at how silly they are being, seriously, Its all just a silly publicity stunt :)

I think My Chemical Romance is better than Manson because at least MCR is trying to stop teen violence and suicide. They may sing about death but MCR NEVER promotes self-mutalation and/or suicide.

I think to be entirely honest, manson is a better singer. MCR are just whiney... But theyre good at what they do. Get little depressive children to be more depressive and pathetic. I think Manson shud just leave this alone, cus clearly he must have a lot of time on his hands to be dealing with a SHIT EMO BAND.
Hes just washed up and old. Screw the Emo and Goth shit man. Thrash, death and black metal all the way (would say drum n bass too but y'kno, this is kerrang here!)

I love Manson! I can't find fault in anything he's done musically, he just works whatever mood i'm in. MCR, i'm undecided about, I own 'three cheers...', but to be honest it grew old pretty quick & the new stuff doesn't really hit the spot.

But my unbiased opinion of this is that Manson has lashed out unprovoked. I haven't lost faith in him though, personally, I listen to music for what it is, not who made it. So my opinions aren't any different there.

But yeah, no one really knows what goes on outside of what the press tells us. MCR could have provoked him, the truth is we'll never know and should just let these bands get on with it.

They're old enough to sort out their own problems. I say ignore any press bitching and worry about your own life.

It does seem like manson is in the wrong yeah. But i think its good to pick on emo's :] They think thier lives are shit right? Try not having a mum. Or a dad. Or seeing someone shot. Ya see publicising a fake depression is bullshit and i think MRC should be bullied for bringing more of these emo freaks to date. Am i wrong?

I used to have respect for Manson for trying to be original-whatever that means now-but when it gets to the point of being jealous of younger musicians because they're being themselves too-is when it gets sad.
MCR and Manson are both talented artists in their own rights, are both doing what they love, but MCR have the grace not to attack others for doing what they love, and not to blast back at Manson's flaws, which they could've so easily done. Go Frank!

u kno its not like hes invented the greatest thing on the planet!!!

so as a devoted mcr fan i think mcr

Posted by random dudette | June 21, 2007 2:47 PM | Reply to this

manson sucks ass.
MCR are good.

i do think mcr should have just left this alone though.

and by the way
What is with the word “EMO“?
Why has this stupid scene not died out yet?
Some people who no me may call me quite hypocritical right now because I wear tight jeans and band tee-shirts. BUT… That’s because I LIKE to wear them… not because its “emo” And anyways what about all those old punk bands like the clash and stuff they wore tight jeans DIDN’T MAKE THEM “EMO!”

Emo is just a silly little word major record labels slap on every band they can to sell more records, because “emo” is all the rage right now.

Seriously! it’s a really silly label I cant understand why people have “I AM EMO DEAL WITH IT” written on there bebo and myspace profiles, and every time I see that it has My Chemical Romance mentioned in there somewhere.

MCR ARE NOT EMO. Right. What the hell makes them emo? Tight pants? Well if that’s why you think there emo. SHUT THE F**K UP! You have no idea.

Its just CLOTHES! LISTEN to there music proper. I have no idea how the word emo ever got tied in with them MCR are an amazing band.

I honestly wouldn’t care if people called them emo if it didn’t damage there reputation but there are newspaper articles and now even news reports about the emo scence. And it’s really giving MCR a very bad reputation.

The articles and reports are claming that MCR are promoting self harm and suicide when they do the total opposite.

At one point they were getting blamed for Virginia Tech Shoot out.

And I’ve been good. I put up with getting called “emo” and “scene” for a while now mostly because of how I dress these people don’t even know me.

“It’s just a word” you say… “Ignore it and move the f**k on”

I do. But really. I’m sick of getting this reputation that I’m a suicidal person and that I cut myself.

Because I’m not. I could be the nicest funniest person you would ever meet but NO because I wear MCR shirts I’m a suicidal little silly girl =[ boo hoo.

In the end, YOUR LOSS!

And calling MCR “emo” may be your opinion =] But I believe your TOTALLY wrong and well now kids that’s MY opinion.

If you think there emo you don’t know what it means then obviously.

I like MCR so SHOOT ME?

Why is it such a bad thing to like this band? Just because you listen to your“proper rock” music means I’m a silly fucking twat who should stop listing to this “emo bull” and listen to what all the cool hardcore rocker kids listen to.

NO I FUCKING WONT! I LIKE this music. I enjoy listening to the music I want to listen to. Not what YOU want me to or what I “should” listen to.

So there is my point. I wont stop liking MCR or the other band’s I like because there “EMO” or make “shit music” Because to me they don’t right. DEAL WITH THAT then don’t come here and tell me what to listen to and what not to listen to. I don’t give a shit if you listen to busted. I wont call you a teeny bopper or fan girl.

Louisa saw them both at download, and just to say, my chem were so much better than manson, even when mikey (bassist) wasn't there.

When i heard what manson said abouT MCR i was like what on earth.
In one respect i can see where he is coming from as he wants to be unique. But i dont really see mcr with full face makeup like proper goths, and theres plenty of other bands that do it. For example, the classic kiss and dimmu borgir. I think tis a pretty stupid reason to lash out at somone to be honest, but as i like both mcr and manson then im not really going to take a side in this.

Marilyn has my respect for his music, but MCR r nowhere near anything like him. Think the guy needs to get to the psychiatrist asap. The MCR guys have been through a lot of shit, and have come out on top of all of it. Personally, I think Manson's jealous of their looks, and their popularity, and talent.

Posted by anne | June 21, 2007 2:52 PM | Reply to this

Since when has Manson directly stated that he has a problem with MCR? He said "these bands" as if referring to a specific genre. If you watch an interview spin magazine (I think) conducted with him he specifically slates Fall Out Boy for copying his Mobscene video and then asking his wife if she'll perform with them. It seems Manson Vs MCR is all hype created by Kerrang! to increase sales.

You do realize that manson never even mentioned MCR? his comments werent about MCR the journalist assumed he was referring to them this whole manson v MCR is being used by kerrang to make a story and i think its fucken pathetic but then kerrang have been going down the drain a lot recently.

Mcr are a complete waste of a record deal but they arent copying manson, they each have different styles and manson is just being a retard for saying they're "doing a really sad, pitiful, shallow version of what I've done".

Manson has just proven himself to be a washed up has been, Frank is totally right Alice Cooper did all the make up etc long before Manson so he is hardly origional. And to all Manson fans whos only response is to insult MCR fans well you are just as pathetic as Manson. MCR are far superior to Manson in every way and will be around for years to come whereas Manson will just fade into obscurity were he belongs

Just reading some of the older comments. A lot of these kids don't have a clue what they're talking about. You're being just as bad as the behaviour you're complaining about!

Firstly, Manson isn't original? His stuff all sounds the same? Clearly words of an overbiased, opinionated trendfollower. Name one person who sounds like him, there isn't one! There are people who appeal to his fans, but no one has managed to immitate his work. where else do you find that voice huh? And every album he's released has a had a completely different theme/sound to it. That way, he NEVER repeats himself. I think these people need to get the facts before slagging off bands.

Oh & the emo thing. Get over it. I know it's been said before, but emo is an abbreviation. Next we'll be calling Bon Jovi emo for using love as a lyric subject. Emo is not a genre. I mean what have Fall Out Boy and Funeral For A Friend got in common? Nothing other than they play instruments & sing. So enough with this "I don't like them coz they're emo" mentality.

I'll shutup now, went off on one there

I think firstly people should stop sticking up for just one of the guys and actually look at both sides. Just because your favourite band may be MCR doesn't mean you have to take their fooking side all the time.
I myself am a fan of both, Manson and MCR. So shall not be taking sides with this dispute.

So firstly look at the side of MCR. When i listen to MCR i have never actually thought hey they look like Manson or Hey they sound like Manson. So i don't understand why he said they were just mere copyers of him? Although i do not like the fact they have changed alot after releasing there 3rd album.. they now sound more emo and not how they use to. Okays maybe they wanted to change but just because emo is all in at the moment doesn't mean you have to follow the trend to be in. I myself like bands that are different and just do what they want.

Anyhoo moving onto Manson's side. I guess in a way with the make-up and all they could be copying as it is quite like Mansons in ways but less exsterm. But then again quite a few bands wear make-up so they could have got the idea from anywhere. But looking back Manson should realise they have been wearing make-up for a while, evern before the 3rd album.

But yeah.. i think some people should just actually forget about this because it's becoming to over the top with people just supporting what their favourite band out of the two says.

ITS ABOUT ONE SIDE, OTHER SIDE AND COMPARING PEOPLE!

And if this is going to be sorted they should start saying whatever they have to say to each others faces, thats the only way to sort out whats going on here and see if they can just forget about it. I'm sure both bands don't need the stress of this right now. As both are on great highs.

And all the MCR bashers? Hello there. And please get a life. Focus on the bands you DO like, rather than shooting your mouths off about others. I don't go saying that any other band is shit. I don't see the frikking point.

If someone could tell me that said point, it'd be greatly appreciated.

And ya need to move on about the whole emo shit, guys. If you paid attention to what the lyrics are saying in most of their songs, you'd realise that.

I'm sorry to you all like but face it people. Marilyn was only giving his opinion, and if you can't do that without getting shit these days then i'm afraid this world is officialy coming to and end FAST.
But Marilyn Manson is the one who can write the BETTER lyrics, make the BETTER music, give the BETTER advice and give the BETTER show.

If they got Marilyn Manson and MCR to have a showdown and the public voted, i think you'd find they'd vote for MCR for the simple reason they'r the ones that 'fit in', oh and they're not 'sick and weird' Oh oh oh and all the little chemo kids love them.

But what REALLY annoys me is the fact NO ONE but Marilyn's fans can see what he does and stands for. And how intellegent and understanding he is.

Now, if you've bothered to read this far and like MCR i suggest you go and watch a Marilyn Manson interview on youtube.

It'll teach you something.

I LOVE YOU MARILYN MANSON.

Kay,
Peace out.

If you look on this arguement from both sides Marilyn Manson is just being a silly old cunt.
Its hypocritical of him to slate people who copy other people (even though i cant see how MCR copied Marilyn) seeing as hes done so many songs off different people and his name is just an actor with a serial killer.
MCR have done like one other persons song and still that was just Gerard and Bert McCracken.

I'm not a fan of MCR since their new album cuz its shit.
But MMs is worse with songs like Heart Shaped Glasses.
So MM can just go shut up and leave MCR making more fans than hes getting and selling more albums.

What the hell. Mcr is so much better than marilyn manson. and their makeup is nothing like his. how can mcr be called emo but then when you go to a manson show he friggen cuts himself open on stage. emo is a stereotype and mcr is not a band to stereotype. oh and for the guy who said emo's should be lined up and shot well your seriousley retarded because everyone has emo day's and so do you really want to shoot everyone. no. i didn't think so. I thought marilyn manson was a cool person until he had to go start dissing mcr just for publicity. For gods skes be original and don't make up shit just to get your face in a magazine. MCR RULES!

There's always going to be some amount of copying. Weather people admit it or not.

defend manson because it would not be fair and it would not be right! but i am a huge fan of his so i will not insult him and i am also a huge fan of MCR also so i will simply say that manson is in the wrong,what he said was wrong i agree but at the same time he will probably remember saying it and then regret saying it and he probably feels very guilty and aologise to MCR,this all has gone a lil too far and has been blown a out of porportion,please do bare in mind that this is just my own personal opinion others may not feel the same way but this is my judgement

Dear Mr Manson

Sorry to hear that your piss-poor new album 'Eat Me, Drink Me' is not selling well in either the States or Europe.

May I recommend that you create some much-needed publicity by launching an unprovoked, groundless and pathetic attack upon one of the top current bands. Perhaps My Chemical Romance?

Oh, I see you already have. Perhaps you should move onto phase two and go throw a brick through Dita Von Teese's window.

it's pretty clear that manson is just doing it for the publicity in my opinion...especially if he can't even say that to MCR's faces!

Posted by hannah | June 21, 2007 3:34 PM | Reply to this

Well...to be quite Frank, what has Marilyn Manson ever done except walk around with a face like a slapped arse, piled in more make up than the local drag queen?

Does Marilyn Manson like, own make-up? 'Cause the last I heard it was a pretty world-wide thing or have times suddenly changed?

Basically Manson is a shit gothic loser who wants to throw the dummy out of his pram because he realises that his army of loyal goth skanks haver better things to do.

Oh, and just one more point, I didn't see Manson headlining download the other week but I sure saw MCR up there.

Manson is a sweaty shitty tranny wannabe. End of.

MCR FTW!

ps; all the Marilyn Manson fans reckon they're the most individual thing ever, when really they're about as unique as a slice of bread, I can't tell you apart with your long shit fluorescent dreadlocks down to your ankles and coated in PVC like some sort of gimp. EW. btw, I don't own a single pair of drain pipes, my favourite colour is pink and I have bright blonde hair, I don't slit my wrists and I'm not depressed. So don't give me the 'black parade follower' shit. OWNED :)

that just so pathetic to say, some people love their music. Just accept it, just because "emo's" don't like trivium and iron maiden etc etc, doesn't mean we bottle them or hurl abuse. Just causing a scene. Sort it out.

And we all know that mr manson
suffers from depression as his ex wife dita von teese said so so at times
he may say things that he does not mean...he may of just taken his frustrations out on them because he is not dealing with what is eating him up inside in that respect i know how he feels he and i both have something in common there so i know what he is going through...he never meant to hurt MCR i am sure of it...give him a lil time to think about what he has done and to let him cool down then i assure you all that he will apologise

Posted by Tali | June 21, 2007 3:48 PM | Reply to this

Okay.

Reading through these posts, it's impossible to get a fair argument.

BECAUSE I THINK I MUST BE THE ONLY PERSON HERE WHO LIKES BOTH.

I have a few things to say.

All you whingy people that are like "ohhh, they're emo pansy fuckers thay should die" GROW UP. Get a life. Stop whinging about how other people aren't exactly like you and live with it.

Dude who was all "Marylin Manson Writes Better Lyrics" a fair few of his more famous songs are cover versions, and quite a few of the original ones aren't written by MM himself. Also, what's a chemo kid. HAHAHA. It makes me laugh that you insult the intellegence f others and still magially add 2 letters onto a 3 letter word.

The person that repeated "mcr" over and over? Oh, oh, oh, VERY compelling argument.

Dude that was all "MCR are all Cut yaself Kill yaself", number ONE, please speak in English in future, I resent having to decipher comments just because you're too lazy to spell correctly, and number TWO, My Chemical Romance have a very vocal anti-self-harm message.

And also, yes, Metallica=Good Shit.

Very glad we established that one. =)

Oh, but dude that was like "they put on their 'great' shows" seriously, have you ever BEEN to a My Chem concert? Mind Blowing stuff man. Stage theatrics=Very cool. And you can't be all "only pansy bands need theatrics" because Black Sabbath's theatrics are VERY famous.

I think it's fair to say that My Chem are, in ways influenced by MM, alot of bands, I think could say the same. So they wear Makeup, that doesn't mean it has anything to do with Marylin Manson. What's Glam Rock? Scotch missed? Actors wear make-up, KISS wear make-up, for all you know they could be influenced by the freaking Adams family. And I don't see how the self proclaimed "God Of Fuck" can call ANYBODY shallow. Especially not one who however good his music is can't manage to wash his disgusting greasy hair and has horrible teeth.

Overall I think there's no justification for what Marylin Manson said because even if he thinks that, there's no reason to tell it to the press, it's just immaturity.

But yeah, MM's new album rocks arse.

That is all.

Yes people there is someone who chooses not to take a side and that is because as good as both of these bands are neither are the greatest in the world, but both are rather quite shit
Manson's music began to slide downhill and MCR have never been top standard to begin with

My advice:
In Manson's case - I just believe Manson should stop believing he started all this shit and seeing himself as some pioneer when there are so many bands who started that kind of thing way before him and many bands who have a similar style now, but those who appear to have a similar style he hooks up with and the one's who he 'believes' are copying get the rapp afterwards, but notice how he goes for the one who has become most popular in recent years

But MCR are no better...

In MCR's case - MCR should stop being slightly cheesey, because I must say their songs have improved but their band has to stop acting like they are the voice of today's youth, because let's face it yes someof the way they act is slightly pinched from other bands, as are most artists today, however I must say The Black Parade album is very good, but there is still plenty of room for improvement

To both MCR and Manson I say cease being emomaniacal underachievers and start being the very best musicians and people you can be

Good luck to you both and for fuck's sake stop acting like fucking schoolchildren

just because he can't make good songs doesn't mean he has to diss other bands that can!
and anyway they are nothing alike how the hell did mcr copy manson?
manson just needs to grow up
just because he's dating a girl half his age doesn't mean he has to act like a kid
i think everyone should forget about it now
manson's got the attention he wanted
and he just made mcr look the better band
pathetic manson

Manson used to be good before he turned all eurgh.
Where as MCR are just another shitey fucking band we dont need.
the people who like mcr are fannies.

i'm a fan of both, moreso mcr if i'm honest BUT putting that aside, because it's not about whose the better artist, it's about the fact that manson is clearly after press right now, this whole ordeal is probably an attempt to boost album sales and general publicity. To back this up, just look at all the interviews Mansons done talking about his new girlfriend whose like, half his age, sure good for you Manson, but we don't really give shit, it's about the music, not the girl you're fucking or the way you look. why the hell does manson think that the whole make up on rockstars was his idea? cos they're were people doing it before him! I can't possibly see that MCR are "copies" of Manson, their music AND image are pretty far apart if you think about it. If Manson strikes back from Iero's comments, that'll be pretty low...am I the only one who doesn't give a shit about these stupid little tifts? I'm in it for the music!

I think...

MCR is better that Marilyn Manson because they don't rip off anyone elses songs. Marilyn Manson has with Personal Jesus and Tainted Love. They are amazing songs, and he has made them better, but, MCR write their own music and play their instruments. MCR is better for the fact, they EARN what they get.

Frank couldn't have said it better!!! Matter of fact that sounds exactly like what I said last week about Manson's rattling (I could sayhe's copying my lines) Nah just kidding *lol* Mcr are great as they are and there's no one like them!!! Frank is absolutely right when he's saying that Alice Cooper was before everyone, so Manson should just shut up.

what a load of ghey
I love mcr, i think they're amazing and no i dnt think they're in the slightest bit emo OR that they've sold out
EMO music is whiney. It's jst moaning about how lifes gone tits up. MCR dnt whine, they say yes life can be shite but dnt let it bring you down.
SELLING OUT is when you change your style of music and what you believe in to make music that'll sell. MCR are still promoting the same message they have from the start. So all you losers who know nothing about them can stop running your mouth and acting like you are superior cus you're jst showing the world how ignorant you are and really you jst need to get a fuckin life.
Well done to frank- what a burn! MM is talking balls- his music is nothing like MCR's, they have never said that they take inspiration from his music whereas they fully admit to finding Queen and David Bowie inspirational.
As for the makeup- MCR wear STAGE MAKEUP its meant to be THEATRICAL to go with the music whereas MM looks like a girl
Note: I didn't slag MM's music off cus its PATHETIC- leave ppl and their music tastes alone you feckin losers

I am a huge Manson fan. and a huge MCR fan to start off. I do not think MCR are ripping off manson at all, I can understand that manson may get angry that other people may copy him slightly but theres no need for this. MCR are completly different from manson, MCR are emo/punk/goth rock while manson is goth rock. Oh and give it a rest about the whole emo thing, MCR have a laugh on stage they don't seem that deppressed to me, okay their last album was about death, big deal, loads of bands have done the same before!

I dont get why Marilyn Manson is saying MCR were copying him

I dont think its true at all

MCR is far better then Manson

Marilyn Manson is just seeking attention

Why the hell does it even matter?

If you like MCR then fine. If you like Manson, then fine. Go your seperate ways. Don't start grouping all of these fans into one catergory and slag them off. That makes you a stereotypical fucker. And no one likes a stereotypical fucker.

And threatening to shoot people because of what they listen to and how they dress? Yeah that makes you sick and fucking stupid. I hope karma comes around and gets you. I hope one day someone picks up on the fact that you're SOOOOO METAL!!1 and awesome and decides to gang up on you for it. Way to go. Way to be cool.

This whole debate is completely idiotic and Kerrang, you shouldn't be fuelling this on. It's like a tabloid. Next thing you know, your whole magazine is going to be about gossip and not music.

I don't see why people have to be so seperated by this ... music is music no matter who it's made by. If you don't like it then don't listen to it. Threatening to kill people and calling bands shit doesn't make you cool or better than anyone else. No one respects narrow minded bastards.

marilyn manson needs to get a life.i know he was just saying an opinion,but he should know what he is talking about.and if he did want to say somthing
to mcr he should of said it right to their face so that ass wouldn't make such a big deal out of it.maybe they could've worked some something out but no he just had to say it to the world and get attention.ans so what ''if'' someone likes something you've done
doesn't that make you feel better mr
serial killer.and i don't understand how they are copying your lame ass shit.
why would anyone do that if thay just do something alike and you don't like it
now they'll know not to anything similar to you because you'll just start talking shit about them.and look what you've done you've gotten people talkin shit about mcr and you.

manson your just an attention seeker...you old man....get over yourself! mcr are influential and inspirational in their music....manson has no purpose! it just MCR is popular then manson...he thinks slaging MCR off would get him noticed! how sad is that...absolutely pathetic manson!

I'm fed up of MCR getting so much stick from people, they're just a band trying to make rock music (so what if they're a bit mainstram now?) it's only idiots who call them an "emo band" i hate all this labelling it's pathetic. Anyway they are better than Manson...at least they don't fu** 19 yr olds in their vids. Manson is a HUGE copycat anyway most of his songs are ripped from other people I mean he's ok but nothing special his new song is pretty bad too. I reckon he's just attention ion seeking anyway for the publisity like for his new vid...the song is bad so he needed a vid to get publicity n now slaggin off MCR.

mcr copycats? and of manson? pfft! whodda thunk it? i think this is just a stupid way of manson feeding off of other people's fame. after divorcing dita von teese its what he always gets asked in interviews and he gets alot more interviews because of his Ex's fame. mcr wear make-up so do many kids these days. are they all copying manson? i think manson is just full of himself and pissed off because mcr have succeded better than he has and he wants to use teh little ammunition he has in the form of eyeliner against them. saying he did something first just makes him sound like a spoilt child and the fact that he can't even say it to their faces is even more childish.
what is it wiht musicians these days?

Spyder, I'm sure you wouldn't like to be insulted like because someone was a stereotyping retard, so just lay off, and, Manson has a right to speak his mind, but, he doesn't need to make threats like that just because a group of people are doing okay for themselves, I personally put it down to jealousy, Marilyn Manson is nothing but a jealous man who has the mind of a three year old, no wonder his wife left him.

Posted by Chewii | June 21, 2007 4:22 PM | Reply to this

I think it is rather childish of him to start talking about them in that way, yet I do think that Frank's reply to him was the right thing to do. I love MCR and I don't mind Manson's music (seeing as I've been forced to listen to it for years via my mother) but to say that MCR are doing a basically watered-down version of what he creates is totally stupid. MCR and Manson have their own individual style and it's never going to change unless they have personality swap's, but even then it will probably be different anyways

'Emos should be lined up and shot' and 'let's watch the emos go and cry'?

Is ignorance the only thing rock has going for it at the moment?
I don't want to sound like an OAP, but everyone just needs a little more respect.
Or listen to Bowling For Soup and cheer the fuck up.

I respect both MCR and Manson, not fellow musicians having digs at each other.
Different strokes for different folks, at the end of the day - just let them get on with it and concentrate on your own musical careers.

I truly believe that both Manson and MCR speak their own words truthfully and from their own minds. As I am a dedicated My Chem fan, I find it hard to believe that they 'copy' Manson in any way, at all.
I think the topics of the songs are very different in comparison to eachother and although the videos for Welcome to the Black Parade and Coma White have their similarities, I don't think it is fair to suggest that they copied Manson for it.
I feel what Manson said in last weeks Kerrang! was a vain and utterly unfair suggestion. I used to quite like Manson and his songs, but after I read what he said, I cannot call myself a manson lover, at all, to say the least.

MCR don't sound or look like Manson so what is he going on about. He's just trying to get publicity off MCR because they have a lot of it at the moment, whether they are getting bottled off the stage at Download or because they are really good. Bad publicity is still publicity and Manson has got what he wants because everyone is talking about it.

They are nothing alike. So many bands wear makeup, past and present, there's nothing unusual about it. If Manson thinks that MCR are copying him by wearing makeup, which is a completely different style to his, then he's a self-centred douchebag. Musically and lyrically they're entirely different. Imagie-wise, they're entirely different. Manson needs a good fucking slap.

Yeah, 'cause Manson is the only musician to EVER wear make-up, right? Dude, get over yourself!! And whether people like it or not, My Chemical Romance are one of the biggest bands on the planet right now. Deal with it. They're doing their own thing, making music that they love and helping fans of their music all over the world in the process. Their music is nothing alike! He's just being pathetic, really. Well done to Frank for being the bigger person.

Hmm... and didn't a certain Mr McCracken make his 'views' clear not that long ago, when HIS band were talking about the release of their new album..?

MCR are a punk rock band.
So tbf, they're not copying him.
I have nothing against the guy, I like his music.
I don't know if he's jealous of MCR or anything to be saying stuff like that.
But MCR are my favorite band of all time!
There's no need at all to start slagging off a band.
MCR like Manson & his music, And tbh he should appreciate that!
Not start calling them Sad & Shallow, Etc.
MCR's album are probably doing better than his.
But so what!
He should get over it!

i just think a bit it's sad that Manson wasted a whole song off his new album bitching about another band... maybe he should go join the used- they could do a whole ALBUM on how much they hate my chemical romance : |
i mean it would sell really well, all those whiny, bitchy people who talk about my chemical romance being... whiny, bitchy people, would buy it for sure.

Why don't we just look at some of Manson's lyrics:
"She reminds me of the one in school
When I was cuttin'"

"Just don't break
Don't break my heart."

"I feel the empty
I feel the minute of decay
I'm on my way down now."

etc.

And some of My Chemical Romance's:

"Stand up fucking tall, don't let them see your back."

"I am not afraid to keep on living."
Yeah My Chemical Romance's lyrics are REALLY quite depressing, compared to Manson's now aren't they? I can see why people are always talking about them whining. For fuck's sake.
Even some of Manson's fans talk about his music being depressing- how can you call mcr depressing or emo then?!

It just shows who's the most grown up really, Manson should just get a grip and stop whining about people "copying off him" (when they are obviously not) He should just stop crying in the corner about my chemical romance and be able to at least tell it to their faces, what a coward.

If he wants the publicity and attention (which he probably does) then he should at least come up with a complaint that could be taken even slightly seriously, I mean obviously his fans are going to stick up for him, that's just how it is. Although I am a fan of both, I definitely take My Chemical Romance's side on this one, Manson is just being a pathetic attention seeker

If you want to find out where the press gets their idea of "rockstars" promoting self harm, then you should go to fucking Manson not mcr "if they want to identify with me here's a razor call me when you're done and we'll talk"

It makes me laugh that people call mcr "mainstream sellouts" and then decide it's not cool to like them anymore, what, so if Manson got as popular as mcr are now, you'd decide he wasn't cool anymore and you couldn't like him? That's just pathetic.

One final thing- a Manson fan started talking about MCR being "fags"
1. they are not
2. even if they were, what has that got to do with the quality of their music, you bigoted twat- "Oh, they're all gay.... they must be shit!!" If you think they're shit, that's fine, say they're shit, but don't start calling them fags as a derogatory term.

And just for the record Manson is NOT a legend
He hasn't earned the right to be called a legend just yet.

If Manson was correct (which he isn't, clearly) I don't think My Chemical Romance would be as big as there are right now.
This is just Manson sulking and wanting to get all the attention, your music is dead now, there are better people around now, so get over yourself.
My Chem are just the innocent victims of a jealous manwhore who needs to go play in traffic.

Where as I would say manson has been a real milestone in the evolution of this style of modern music. So is there and has there ever been any real competition here?

I think manson just needs to grow up and get a life. MCR has alot of talent and they are actually trying to have a purpose in this world. I think manson could care less is kids killed themselves or if a husband abuses his wife. MCR are speaking out AGAINST that. I never liked manson any how because of his music. MCR did nothing wrong and manson should apologise and kiss their asses big time for what he said.

People wake up! Manson is a whole piece of shit why should he blame on mcr's make up? remember he's just the god of Fuck but not the god of Fashion. Manson sucks all because he wrote lyrics all abt puppy love awwwfully look deep into his eyes... there he is givin a message ''come on, knock me down!''

My Chem is such a great band~ unless they know the way to live and they respect music. love forever.

Yes, Frank did respond maturely to Marilyn's accusations; but maybe he was merely also doing this for the press, like he thought perhaps Marilyn was doing. In my opinion, Marilyn's music is better than My Chemical Romance's any day. I do think that it was a bit uneccessary for Marilyn to say those things, but people are entitled to their own opinion, and seeing as Marilyn Manson is a person, he is also entitled to his own opinion. Maybe next time he gets asked about bands he doesn't like he shouldn't publicly declare that he thinks My Chemical Romance's music is a sad, pathetic and shallow version of his own music. Then people wouldn't make such a big deal over it. It isn't like Marilyn Manson is the first person in the music industry to openly discuss his dislike for certain bands. Which was all he was doing, if you think about it.

This isn' the first time Manson has blasted MCR. He has said it before back in 05 and 06. Manson wanted to knock out Gerard Way for copying his "style" well if thats what its called nowadays. I think Manson should take a look around if he is that paranoid then he will have to kick in a lot of people. If it is solely "his style" then many people have copied it, not just MCR. Also MCR havent copied him, all of MCR still have there eyebrows and havent sucked off a guy onstage. I'm both a Manson and a huge MCR fan, since they begun and dark imagery is something both bands clearly use to get their music and opinions accross. How sad it is that now in a world where people, including my self, get verbal and physical abuse for wearing black that two great players in modern rock are arguing with eachother. Manson grow up please.

The fact that Manson is even COMPARING himself to the amazingly awesomeness of My Chem is completely vain.
Mansons songs are dying and he is slowly but surely fading away and he is just jealous that My Chem have the spotlight and not him.
My Chem's songs have got me through the most tough times (as cliche as that sounds) and people really respect them.
Manson's recent video Heart Shaped Glasses was awful and it was basically just of him having sex. I mean, WHO REALLY WANTS TO SEE HIM DO THAT?
He's just proud because 'she's' the only person that is willing to do so, other than a deflatable one.
My Chem are heroes and Manson is a poor excuse for goth rock.

this whole argument is completely pointless. what is any one gaining from this? all th MCR fans are bithching about manson and all the manson fans and a few metal heads are bithching about MCR i cant believe this is even considered news. Im a manson fan and i have been for years i respect MCR but im not a huge fan tbh i dont believe manson even made these remarks as it sounds to me the journalist has taken them out of context just to cause an argument i know a lot of MCR fans who are fans of manson and like myself they belive this entire argument is riduculous

Manson had no right to say MCR are copying him. My Chem are such an amazing band who change peoples lives and save them as well. Manson has a right to his opinion but he was just trying to start up an arguement for attention. But telling them to get razor blade is completely out of order. He is promoting self harm and telling people that it's okay where as MCR do exactly the opposite and try and show that we can get through our problems wihout it. I'm so glad that My Chem rose above his stupid comments instead of sinking to his level. Go MCR!

I think its sad that rock stars have these stupid spats, who else but Manson to have a go, the former Starfucker Incorporated. He seems to revel in picking fights and war of words, sure his music is very good, especially the earlier work.

MCR are a great band and remind me in many ways of Black Flag and the classic bands of yesterday. They say they're not emo, and it's true, emo came and went, it's just a phrase that fucking people use as derogatory insults. Petty people in the world who love nothing more than picking a fight and for god sake, how hard is it to get along, what with the god damn rest of the world against us people who love and listen to our Rock, Metal, Goth Metal, whatever. It's us vs the world

seriously manson is better. ive been to see both of them . im fond of both of them . but manson is better. Lol frank iero's comebacks are lame. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE DONT SAVE LIVES stop being so stupid . How can someone you've never even talked to save your life? if your willing to say something like that then I'm pretty sure that you weren't all too seriousness about ending that life as you like people to believe. UNless you were on the verge had a shotgun in your hand and your finger ont he trigger and all of a sudden Mikey way popped out of the blue and stopped you ... im doubting they saved your life.

marilyn manson is the complete opposite to them! he even proved it in his interview with k! he said to go take a razor blade then he will talk!? know what the fuck will younger kids that like marilyn manson readin this magazine think when they see that? oh its ok 2 slit cause marilynmanson said we should!?! i'm not blamin it on k! but marilyn manson really needs 2 sort himself out, go to terapy or sometin if u don't already!!!

So, you've seen all the bands live and believe you are up to forming an opinion about rock in general.
So you dont like mcr, big deal, many others do !
I dont like MM but do I shout it from the rooftops ? No,
For anyone to state that some bands are no good shows they have a closed mind.
Dont berate any band unless you accept criticism of your fav's.
Music is music for all to enjoy so. just switch off what you don't and shut up !

I would just like to know where MM gets off saying crap like that. MCR conducts themselves with a lot more maturity than he does, proven especially by Frank in his return comments. Regardless whether it was "just for the press" or not, he could have stooped to MM's level easily, but he didn't, as so many people pointed out below.

As for MCR copying MM...not a chance! I saw MM's video for (s)AINT, and it was nothing short of disgusting and tasteless. I'm not gonna judge him over one video, but compared to MCR's videos which have so much more meaning and artistry...it's not hard to see that MCR is NOT feeding off of MM's stuff.

I know he made a comment earlier about kicking Gerard's ass if he ever got the chance for "stealing his makeup style". Hate to break it to ya, but Gerard's not the only person in the world who wears makeup like that. Are you going to make public threats to everyone else who wears makeup like that? Grow up, already.

I've never been a fan of MM, but my respect for him as an artist and as a person has gone wayyy down. Go MCR!

Frank is 100% correct when he makes the comment about Alice Cooper happening before Manson even started out. Manson has even said in an interview that one of his influences is Alice Cooper. Regardless of whether Manson is a "legend" or not, he should still back off because MCR sound absolutly nothing like him. And that's what it all comes down to-the music. So My Chem wear make-up. Big fucking deal. You don't see them prancing around in nothing but a leather gurdle and heavy black lipstick smeared all over their faces.

Stop all the arguing. I like both Manson and MCR, i'm neither emo, or goth, or metalhead. Stereotypes cause way too much arguing.
Let the emos be emos, the goths be goths, the chavs be chavs.
Why should you hate someone you don't know purely because of the clothes they wear and the music they listen to.

As for Manson Vs MCR; as far as i'm concerned, as long as they both keep making music and both bands are happy, i don't care.
They can argue and fight as much as they like about who ripped whom off. I don't think MCR have riped Marilyn Manson off in the slightest. Marilyn Manson has a much darker sound compared to MCR's punk roots. However, the make-up? That's just getting petty. In my honest opinion, Manson should say something to their face and if he's being all sweetness and light when he's met MCR it seems he's just doing it to promote his record.

Have a go at me all you like, i really won't care; that's my opinion and that's that.

MCR are just another one of those bands which have changed because of fame and money. I once loved them but as each album has been released they have just got worse and worse. It’s the same for MM except as a person he is still the same. To be honest I just like anyone who says crap about MCR I just wish I was there when they come face to face!

Screw MCR, Marilyn Manson ROCKS!

i think quite a few of you have fallen for a PR trick by manson, i doubt he cares about MCR at all. but the comment on them have got people talking about him alot more, thats only reason he said it.

well done to mcr for a dignified response though.

i prefer manson's music btw.

EMO? Do you ever listern to MCR OR DO YOU JUST TAKE IN WHAT THE PAPERS TELL YOU I am not a teenager I am an Adult who loves Mcr's Music and I am very dissgussed how the youth treat this band when they dont like them why can't they show some respect Just as their new single was due to be released some madman walked into a university and shot and killed students this band put a message on the end of the single to say if you feel like doing this to seek help They also give this message every time they perform this song ( does anyone else) This band was invited to surport muse at wembley they came all the way from swizerland to do this for their friends and they looked so proud when they came on stage ( they were brill) but they got some abuse I cannot understand why people if they dont like someone why they cant just walk away(buy food go to the loo) or just dont go or better still just shut up and dont spoil it for those people who like them i had 2 people stand up and had a conversion and blocked my veiw of the stage I had paid for tickets also When I was younger I went to see police my other half liked them. I HATED THEM. but I did not spoil it for them. MCR are visitors to our country and should be respected I would not like them to take away with them a picture of our country full of violence and disrespect and they dont deserve this

I am a fan of both Manson and MCR, i have seen both in concert and i love their music and respect what they say, until now. Mr.Manson, it is understandable that u may feel this way(no pun intended) but the same hardcore subjects are bound to arise as they are still around- how many references in songs has there been for Poverty/War? People sing about Povery, just because one person has done it does not mean they should stop. MCR, Mr.Iero, good comeback. xoxox

mcr are soooo much better than manson and no way are they a rip off of him. manson is a big baby and only wants the attention as he has had none since he broke up with his wife. mcr are the boyson the block and in my veiw are here to stay and thats a good thing. i love their music and they are no where near as crap as manson, he is just weird and just needs to get a life if the only thing he is capable of is bitching about a decent band .

Posted by amanda | June 21, 2007 8:48 PM | Reply to this

I agree. Manson is just a rock god, a legend to all goths. He is truely the king of goths and MCR are trying to copy all that he has accomplished!

Posted by Gothgirl | June 21, 2007 8:52 PM | Reply to this

mcr rule -- i think its bad for manson to critisise mcr because every good rock band want the same thing -- thats to be good at making songs and all that -- mcr have not done anything wrong and should not be critisised by some guy who in one vidieo looks like a frinkin pedo

It annoys me enough that people of my age (18) are petty to an extent of "gossiping, bitching, slating and having a non-stop playground attitude".

But when a grown male goes and does it, i've just got to think. "For fuck sake, do be serious."

I've never been a manson fan musically but i do respect a lot of things he's said in the past.
But MCR, as much slating as they get, have as much a cause and influence on their fans as manson has on his.

Although i have to admit i find it a tad alarming that Manson is slating Gerard's 'Image' as its such a superficial thing to pick on. Manson in previous songs has spoken about acceptance and how people shouldn't be so narrowminded, yet has contradicted himself by writing those lyrics about the MCR frontman.

Another point i would like to make.
Gerard is doing much less harm dressing the way he does, than Manson going after a 19-year-old girl who he could actually be a father to taking into account his age.

I don't think its a case of Manson Vs Gerard.
Because the petty remarks will not be returned. Frank, Thank goodness, has actually answered with a sense of maturity that the previous comments lacked.
MCR are doing well for themselves. And to all the people who just love to slate them, your sinking to the level of all those who have ever tried to put you down in the past for being who you want to be, and believing in what you want.

End of.

This is supposed to be rock lads, stop acting like pop sissies.

To be honest, I think the only reason Manson said what he did was to promote that fact that he has a new album out.
So why care about what he said?

I'm on MCR's side
atleast Gerard and Frankie have handled this whole thing maturely
Manson lashing out like that was truely idiotic he needs to get a life. He's the one who is/was acting like a 15 year old girl on PMS.
I liked Manson befor this whole ordeal but knowing that he's gonna go after a band that many like whom are loved by tons of thousands all of the world that's BS. I use to think he was decent now he just seems like amoron. Also, MCR music and ideas or morals have nothing to do with Manson he's not even an influence on them or else they'd have boobs and girls names and freaky eyes and copper teeth. & MCR's stuff isnt like anything manson's done..
Oh and lil kids arnt afraid of MCR.

I agree with Kerry too Manson probably did say all that just to promote himself and his new album and just for the press.

P.S Momma Way could kick Manson's moms ars anyday XD

They both seriously rock
Marc, is right!
I dont think Gee is gonna be going out with a 19 year old. I love Manson, but MCR are starting to get even bigger in Britain, heck i heard my mum humming along to Hrelena yesterday. Its reallly stupid not considering both sides!
Frank, well done, im from Jersey and i can tell every1 is behind you. Labelling is sssooo wrong. Im labelled emo! eugh! i kind of am one! but this is a bigger problem! Grown man (Manson) argueing with a Gr8 band. He must be the weeniest bit jelous, seeing as his album eat me drink me has gone barley any where in the UK.MCR are handling this maturley, unlike Manson, soz Marylin
Mcr IS more mature in handling problems and have better albums. (in some cases)

Absolutely, couldnt have said that better myself.
I just had a big 'discussion' with someone about this.
I was also at Wembley when they played, and people booing them was pathetic, completely disrespectful, and ruined it for people with more of an open-mind to music than them.

And for gods sake people, most of you clearly hate them to conform to a stereotype and follow a trend! Listen to the damn music! Its not emo!

Back to the subject matter, Marilyn Manson, what is he on? He thinks theyre impersonating him? Firstly who would want to? And secondly... Just... What??! Their style is completely different to his!
I like that MM has lowered himself to childish insults, whereas MCR have risen above it and actually been mature about it, even saying they support him and his music...

Once again artists and the their supporters make criticism of a band they have never properly listened to nor got to know. If they had, most of the detractors would acknkowledge MM and MCR have nothing in common and have the courtesy to keep their ignorant misjudged hate to themselves. Frank Ieros comments reflect a more grown up and positive attitude that is indicative of the true mcr character rather than the biggoted Manson camp views. Shame really as Heart shaped Glasses is rather good. Open you minds and not your mouths.

And Maree....How can you slate other for being ignorant then follow that up by posting such garbage as "Frank Ieros comments reflect a more grown up and positive attitude that is indicative of the true mcr character rather than the biggoted Manson camp views" And just WHO were you calling "ignorant"?

I don't even wanna read the rest of this, it's pathetic. People are emo. They like it. Live with it.

I couldnt care what people label themselves as or what they like, i dont see why it matters.

If you actually listen to the music, MM and MCR are nowhere near the same.
This whole argument is about the fact that mcr wear make up on stage (the best Manson could do), whereas plenty of other bands do the same. Last I checked MCR don't skulk about like women either.

Its publicitystunts-r-us.

As a huge fan of both of these bands, I have to say our friend, Mr. Warner was in the wrong. Go Frank Iero for calling a spade a spade. If everyone in the world who wore make up on stage was a Marylin Manson wannabe, well... you get my point.

Marylin Manson, your new album sucks and you're just jealous that some emo boys from Jersey are doing it better than you are. If you need to attack MCR for a publicity stunt, that just goes to say that MCR is way, way better than you are, because they didn't have to do that crap to get where they are.

Posted by Kelley | June 22, 2007 2:35 AM | Reply to this

Hi there. I was just commenting in general that most of the derisive comments from MM supporters seem to come from a lack of knowledge about MCR. Sure they are not to everyones taste in style and music but people should really get to know a style of music before they disagree on it. For the record I grew up on Metallica and G'n'R, but still listen to Klaxons, Dizzee Rascal, Green Day, Beethoven and MCR amongst others. Noy quite MCR rosetinted glasses only. I've seen Marilyn Manson put out the occassional good record over the years, and he does have a unique sound. It's just a shame his comments have drawn attention away from one of his better songs in a long time. Keep your interests wide, be openminded and informed =)

I am in love with MCR and their music...they did not copy Manson and hes being a real idiot with the whole "they're mere copycats" ...this will eventually end and i think that Manson is just wasting his breath by trying to start crap with MCR..by the way, to SPYDER all emos shoud NOT be shot! and ur such an idiot for posting that...LONG LIVE MCR!

MCR does NOT consist of a bunch of FREAKS!! mansion can burn in hell im sure thats what he wants but he really needs to stop the childish comments... it doesnt get him anywhere with is fucked up life!...

I do think MCR are trying to steel some of Mansons fans by copying his style. I think manson is ten times as better than MCR.

I do not agree that all emo's should be shot. A fraction of Emo's are ok. I have many emo friends, and they're cool. But some Emo's can be prats. I say shoot the over dramatic emo prats and save the decent ones :)

Marilyn Manson rules!

Why? because who actually THAT sort of pointless music.

And trying to copy Mansons style? but they dont dress like freaks!!!!!
They have their own style and I think Manson is just too dumb to understand that and really needs to stop being so childish.

MCR rock this round, Manson should be their servant if he dosent stop!

So I sum up, MCR are kings!!

MCR Obviously Don't Want To Start Anything and I Think Manson Should Grow Up and MCR Are Obviously The Bigger Person By Not Retaliating..

Sorry, but how the hell are MCR not emo? I really like them and was really impressed wen I saw them at Brighton Centre in March, but, seriously they write emotiona stuff. They may say they are not em, but if I had to put them under a genre, it would be "emo".

If they are not emo, i'd love to know what they are.

And if mcr were to try and copy what he was doing if anything he should be flattered that he influences someone. tbh the fame has gone to mansons head. and he needs to sort out his priorities. oh and by the way its a bit pathetic going round sayin all emos should be shot. it just makes me laugh at how petty you people really are.

Wether people like MCR as I do or is upto them... but for god's sake people need to get a grip and stop slagging them off "cuz they're an emo band".. im really really NOT emo and ive love MCR since I first heard Demolition Lovers.
I think MCR are a great band, they seem like really down to earth guys and I can only prasie them for everything they've done. Manson and the rest of you winging gays need to stop slagging bands off just cuz they're not to your taste. Lets just be thankful that we have alternative rocks genres and we're not all stuck listening to fucking chav shit all day long!!

cant say i particularly love it myself. But MCR and Papa Roach are the first rock bands I ever started to like.. so im always gonna defend them really..

i wouldalso like to make a point. MCR have done covers yes.. but they'venot actually released them in their albums...MM has! Dont get me wrong i absolutely love his version of Tainted Love and Personal Jesus... but they arent his songs and he released them... so isnt he copying people?.... hmmmm.. hes not making anything easy for himself is her.

anyway back my conversation with evie on chav music.. i didnt mean to sound as though i was arguing lol. Where i live Chavs run the place and to them if you have a black item of clothing on, it means you worship the devil and that Slipknot are your life purpose. Does anyone know of any decent chavs? it would be interesting to know if they exist!

xxxxx

I know one or 2 nice chavs, they're rough as fuck but they're good guys you just have 2 talk on their level. Sometimes I get bored of all the music I normally listen to so I will spin the ocassional Jay-Z or Eminem record and I like those 2 rappers lyrically they're awesome and lets face it they do make good music. If you go out on a saturday night you can't dance to anything heavy and there's only so many times you can stand listening to livin on a prayer or don't stop me, so a touch of Jay to the Izzo doesnt go a miss on a night out

How gullible are you? What are you, 14?

There have been lots of rumours about MM over the years, which are unfounded. To clarify, MM has not removed his ribs, nor was he the geek in glasses in The Wonder Years.

okay i don't see how MCR have copied manson to be perfectly honest, but manson wins any day.
MCR's music is complete and utter shit, they need some descent lyrics for christ sakes.

what the hell happened to MCR, theyve changed and it isnt good. There shows seem planned and aren't about the music , and the lead singer-Gerard Way looks like hes an ex boy band star trying to make it as a rock star, and im sorry but i hve to say the trousers he wears are far too tight , he sounded like he was on helium and stop with the 90s boyband moves i.e the wierd jumping,mid split things.
