According to MLive.com, MARILYN MANSON and ROB ZOMBIE engaged in a war of words Friday night (October 12) at the the ninth stop of their 36-city "Twins Of Evil" tour at DTE Energy Music Theater in Clarkston, Michigan.

Manson reportedly accused Rob Zombie of cutting Marilyn's set short, telling the crowd, "I'm going to kick his ass."

Zombie also addressed the feud during his 90-minute performance, telling the audience, "Some tours just don't go [expletive] together" and making it clear that he was tired of Manson's "rock star [expletive]." He also fired more verbal shots at Manson while paying homage to Alice Cooper with a cover of Cooper's classic "School's Out" (see video below), dedicating the song to "the only real shock rocker there ever was, not some punk-ass bitch, Alice Cooper."

"[Bleep] you Marilyn Manson!," Zombie reportedly yelled several times, along with other choice words including "suck it, Marilyn Manson!" He also called Manson "Brian," referring to Marilyn's birth name, Brian Warner.

Manson implied on Twitter that Zombie had also cut Marilyn's set short Thursday night in Rosemont, Illinois, writing, "Sorry to Chicago for not getting to play 'Beautiful People'. You can sing it in between Zombie songs, his band has already played it."

Zombie himself took to his Facebook page earlier today to "clear up the rumors flying around." He wrote, "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."

He added in a separate posting, "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 fourth-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 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."
