Paul Stanley is NOT Happy About Marilyn Manson's Charles Manson Tweet

After news broke that Charles Manson died over the weekend, Marilyn Manson took to Twitter to share a cover of the late cult leader’s “Sick City.”

Naturally the tweet caused a stir, and KISS’ Paul Stanley was among those who were not okay with the shock rocker’s tribute. Stanley clapped back at Marilyn Manson, calling his actions “pathetic.” Read his full statement below:

Pathetic when somebody who’s career never really took off is desperate enough to try for publicity by connecting himself to the news of a murdering scumbag’s death. @RollingStone @UltClassicRock https://t.co/SShmw5Wmse

PLOT TWIST: In an interesting turn of events, the internet then poured one out for Marilyn Manson, as US Weekly reports—even though he is still very much alive.

To be fair, the members of Marilyn Manson created their stage names by combining the names of classic Hollywood bombshells with serial killers. So, “Marilyn Manson” was born of a combination between Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson.

Still, see the confusion below.
