MCR respond to Kasabian digs

My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way has responded to Kasabian's Tom Meighan's earlier criticism of the band, saying the remarks were poorly worded and ended up sounding like a compliment.

My Chemical Romance have responded (somewhat belatedly) to remarks made by Kasabian's Tom Meighan who last year said of the New Jersey band "these clowns won't be around for much longer ... their make-up will flake off and the scene will die out", adding that their album 'Welcome To The Black Parade' was "weird and dark". Responding, MCR frontman Gerard Way has told NME: "It was obviously meant as a slam, but it was so poorly worded that it ended up sounding like a compliment! 'Weird and dark'...that just makes them kinda ignorant. This band has never had a bullshit war ever. I haven't found an opponent worthy enough yet. If you're gonna take me on, you'd better have the balls for it! If you're gonna talk shit about us, you'd better have the juice. And we haven't found anybody with the juice yet".
