One of the songs from Manson’s most recent album talks about Gerard Way, the singer for My Chemical Romance. Manson feels that the band has become successful because of their imitations of him.
In the song "Mutilation is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery", Manson sings, "You steal instead of borrow/ You take all the shapes that I make… Mutilation’s the most sincere form of flattery/ If you want to be me/ Then stand in line like the rest… F**k you, f**k you."
According to FemaleFirst, Manson said, "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."
Manson and My Chemical Romance will both be performing at the Download Festival in England on June 8.
