The following comes from the official twitter account of Shirley Manson (@Garbage) Here is the full conversation in question:

Koln you were so strangely subdued! Sold out show but so cold? Funny. I know you love us but why couldn’t you show it? We still love you. Sx

@garbage do you really think it’s alright to publicly criticise your fans, who’ve paid to go to your gig, for not worshiping you enough?
Conor Furlong@ConorFurlong

ConorFurlong
@garbage but it’s ok, maybe they won’t bother buying tickets to see you next time around, so you won’t have to put up with their coldness.
Conor Furlong@ConorFurlong

    Garbage was in Latvia, too, and she didn’t say shitty stuff about us. Our prime minister sent her twelwe red roses.

    just wanted to proudly share that.

  • gsushc said:

    Oh dear, sounds like somebody just opened up the gates of negativity…I wonder how this is gonna go down with her band mates?

  • Is he one? said:

    And some say Billy is an a-hole. Damn this is just unacceptable. Please Shirley, make amends.

  • kingchaz said:

    We all have bad days.

  • kingchaz said:

    ^^^ To say that you don’t, is just garbage.

    :D

  • Is he one? said:

    Nah seriously this is way across the line.

  • paulonious said:

    twitter is for twits.

  • paulonious said:

    and look at that gunt she’s sportin’. nice!

  • Miff said:

    This is really sad to read. I remember back in the day, I think it was around the end of the Version 2.0 era, on the Garbage website there was a huge, and I mean really huge, collection of emails that Shirley had personally responded to. It’s sad to see how far things have slipped.

  • aaron said:

    killer story

  • Anth said:

    She definitely ended up being overly harsh, but you have to be really, really, painfully sensitive to be offended/upset by her initial tweet.

  • versus said:

    Who cares? She said she still loves them, and didn’t question that their fans love the band too.

  • Andy said:

    cry baby. who cares.

  • Kyle said:

    Garbage is and has always been a garbage band anyway. They always sucked. Wonder what she was so pissy about. “fuck you, blow me I don’t care what you think of me so THERE”

    Somebody sounds like they’re 5 years old. Must be mad cause her terrible band never took off from the ground. Playing in the chucklefuck musichole to a bunch of drunks who realize your music sucks must get pretty old after a while

  • Aaron said:

    Yeh it got out of hand but it must be kinda lame if your audience is acting half interested. Conner read into the comment too far and Shirley went overboard. twitter is a harsh place.

  • Inmytree said:

    Classy. What’s wrong with this chick?

  • Christine said:

    “…fucking read what I wrote instead of having a knee jerk reaction + by the way I don’t care a whit what you think of me … BLOW ME you Owe ME an apology”

    Shirley for the win.

    Bigger balls than “BillCo” that’s for sure.

  • runawaydogs said:

    I never cared much about her band’s music until now. she rocks.

  • Tosh said:

    Was her first tweet offensive? – not it wasn’t
    Did the first guy provoke her? – definitely
    Did she react too harshly? – Yes she did
    Am I surprised? – No, she has always been as straight forward as this
