Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit Guitarist Trade Insults

Marilyn Manson and Wes Borland are using hard rock magazine Kerrang! as the forum for a hilarious exchange of insults. The barbs got underway when Manson ripped Borland -- who played guitar in Manson's band briefly last summer -- for reuniting with Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit.

"We almost made the mistake of having Wes play guitar, but he re-joined Limp Bizkit," Manson tells the U.K.-based publication. "That move forever eradicated my feelings on his choices in life as an artist."

When asked why he thought Borland went back to his old band, Manson said, "That is what I find myself asking when I urinate sometimes. He said he would never go back. If the reason is money, then I'd rather roll up a $5 note and shove it up my urethra. I'd rather set my d--- on fire than join something that I hated."

When asked for a rebuttal, Borland told the magazine, "I wrote nine songs to be submitted to the Manson record and none of them made it. I was really in hired gun land there, but was sort of being told that I wasn't. So when I figured that whole thing out, I knew I was never going to get an inch into that band."

"I love Manson," Borland continued. "He's definitely one of the wildest personalities I've ever been around and one of the smartest people I've ever met, but it's the Marilyn Manson show over there -- Limp Bizkit is more of a band."

Borland, who has quit Limp Bizkit twice, had been a member of the group since last August. At the time, Manson announced the collaboration by saying, "He used to be in a really terrible band that he left because he felt that it was a destructive force in art." Luckily for the world, Manson and the Bizkit will both have plenty of concerts and interviews this summer to continue trading these wonderful and creative barbs. Your move, Durst.
