Manson takes swing at Black Dahlia Murder frontman

Marilyn Manson reportedly threatened and attempted to punch Black Dahlia Murder frontman Trevor Strnad at a Florida signing, before security intervened.

Marilyn Manson just can't help starting fights with people, can he? Recently it was just idle threats that he would murder journalists who wrote anything incorrect about him, following a claim that he is addicted to cocaine. But at a signing session in Florida this week, things turned physical. Almost, anyway.

According to reports, things started when Black Dahlia Murder frontman Trevor Strnad shouted, "Welcome to the freak show!" at Manson. Marilyn responded by writing "I hate those cunts" on a table. So far, so passive-aggressive. However, things seemed to have turned suddenly, with Manson issuing a threat that he would rape Strnad's face, before attempting to punch him. Security guards then stepped in a broke things up before anyone was actually hit. Or raped.

Fun, fun, fun.
