Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie are currently on the road together for the Twins Of Evil tour. At yesterday's Detroit area stop at DTE, it became apparent the two aren't exactly getting along. Marilyn Manson performed first and accused Zombie of cutting his set short, telling the crowd he was going to kick Zombie's ass. Zombie returned the volley during his set with a cover of Alice Cooper's "School's Out." During the song he screamed "suck it, f**king Marilyn Manson," and ended it with a "f**k you, motherf**ker!" Watch the drama unfold below. NSFW video.

The co-headline Twins of Evil tour has just begun, so stay tuned for more drama! Read more about the DTE drama here. Pictures from Friday's show are posted here.
Update: Rob Zombie posted the following comments about the drama on Facebook around noon today:
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.
