Rob Zombie And Marilyn Manson Shoot Out Verbal Insults At Each Other
It all started with an upset Manson who felt that his set of songs was cut short by Rob Zombie. "I'm going to kick his ass," he told the crowd, after telling them he wished to play a few more songs. Hmm it depends how much he had already sang then maybe a few more songs wouldn't hurt!
Manson also stated something about his set on October 11 on his Twitter account saying, "Sorry to Chicago for not getting to play ‘Beautiful People."" You can sing it in between Zombie songs, his band has already played it. It is pretty obvious that he was referring to John 5 and Ginger Fish who were once his former band members. He made up for by posting a video of him performing 'Beautiful People' with Twiggy Ramirez.
The drama doesn't stop there! The arguing continued but this time Rob Zombie handed out his insults by saying, "Some tours just don’t f****ing go together." Ouch! What does he mean by that? Does he regret touring with Manson?
Zombie kept it going! During his cover of 'School's Out' by Alice Cooper he yelled harsh things like, "Suck it Marilyn Manson" and 'F**k You Marilyn Manson." He also continued and sometimes referred to him as Brian, his birth name.
Rob Zombie is a responsible one though! He decided to clear things up for the fans by posting on his Facebook page today. (Go "like" it)
"Just to clear up the rumors flying around. Neither I nor anyone working for me made Manson cut his show short. It is a co-headliner and we both play the exact same set length every night. It is all very simple, but if one of us chooses to go on late for whatever reason that time will have to come out of their set. That just the way it works, that is the way it always works. There is no evil plan going on. It is all complete nonsense."
That was his first post. The second one was more detailed.
"As stupid as this all is, I feel I must clear things up a little better. First off, I want to thank all the fans who came out in the freezing cold in Detroit last night. It was a total blast as always.
Unfortunately things turned ugly backstage. Why? I don't know, but for some reason our touring partner decided to end his set by blaming me for something that I had nothing to do with and screaming he was going to "kick Rob Zombie's ass as soon as he got off stage".
Go figure. I was backstage hanging, watching the show thinking "hey this is gonna be a great night", when suddenly he starts screaming threats. So strange. I don't get it. Christ, I've known some of his crew for 20 fucking years and some of his crew used work for me. It's all good. No one would fuck with someone's show. It is ridiculous.
Well, of course I felt the need to respond to the " kick my ass remark". Who wouldn't? Although I wish I had kept it backstage and kept the fans out of it. It is all 4rd grade fight after school nonsense of which I have never dealt with on tour before. Co-headlining tours always go smooth because everything is cut 50/50 and I mean everything. No one fucks with anyone's show. It is even fucking Steven.
I've done it co-headlining tours many times before and have had no troubles. Not with Pantera, Slayer, Alice Cooper, Korn, Megadeth or anyone ever. So I didn't expect any troubles on this. It seemed like a great idea at the time. But shit happens. Anyway, sorry to the fans who had to dealt with the embarrassing stupidity of it all. We are all there for the same reasons to give you the best show ever… that's it."
I wonder how the rest of the shows are going to go. I'm confident that there is a lot of tension between the two and I hope they work this out. Just 27 more shows left!
