Truly sick

Marilyn Manson recognized Charles Manson’s death by tweeting a photo of the killer with a link to “Sick City”, a song Charlie wrote and Marilyn covered. KISS’s Paul Stanley called the tweet a “pathetic” bid for publicity—and, after 45 years as Gene Simmons’s bandmate, he’s an authority on the subject.

From the gutt

The Stone Temple Pilots debuted a new singer—the unfortunately named Jeff Gutt—in Los Angeles on November 14. The frontman, who beat out 15,000 applicants for the job, was formerly of nu-metallers Dry Cell and competed on The X Factor. Incredibly, STP is now more pathetic than the life of Scott Weiland.

Awk-ward

Asked about sexual harrassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey, Morrissey told a German journalist “Some people are very awkward when it comes to romance.” Reducing Moz’s chances of getting into Shirley Manson’s pants by 342 percent, the Garbage singer promptly tweeted “Fuck U Morrissey.”
