In a since-deleted Facebook post, Alternative Nation reports that Gacy points out the similarities between Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla,” as well as “Come As You Are” and Killing Joke’s “Eighties.”

He then reportedly posted a link to Killing Joke’s song “Eighties” with the caption: “And this is why you kill yourself, because you’re a f****** thief.”

An overreaction? Yep, we think so. Sadly, it's not surprising coming from Gacy, who reportedly sent death wishes to Marilyn Manson as well.
