Just when the tiffs between rock stars were beginning to settle down, we get a fresh new quarrel between reigning king of coporate shock rock, Marilyn Mason, and the proverbial new kids on the block; emo-goth-rock stars My Chemical Romance. According to this article, the two have been exchanging words over a recent song by Manson, which is reportedly about MCR. Manson's song, "Mutilation Is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery", from his new album Eat Me, Drink Me, contains the lyrics: "Hey, there's no rules today/You steal instead of borrow/You take all the shapes that I make/ And you think that you thought/All the thoughts that I thought/Don't you?", which the he explained:

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.

MCR frontman Gerard Way responded by saying:

We still haven't found someone that has knocked us down that we need to take seriously. 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.

Axl Rose was not available for comment.
