Rolling Stone‘s Austin Scaggs gets the Antichrist Superstar to dish about Bowie, Avril, Polyphonic Spree, and others…
What’s the last great rock show you saw?
Marliyn Manson: I saw Bowie a couple of months ago for the very first time. He was great. I proposed to my fiancee with “Be My Wife” playing. He did “Quicksand” and “Ashes to Ashes,” my two favorite songs. I was really afraid, because he asked to meet me. I was trying my best not to meet him, because there is often the horror of meeting someone you really admire, and they are everything you don’t want them to be. But he made a snappy comment about my outfit, and I felt like a little schoolboy.
I bet you don’t feel like a schoolboy too often.
Marliyn Manson: Yeah, except when I do these little stints with teenage girls, like with Mandy Moore at the VMAs.
What’s wrong with MTV’s Video Music Awards? It used to be fun to watch.
Marliyn Manson: What’s right about it? The rock section was condensed into a ninety-second montage with three bands that nobody was even sure of unless they heard the songs on a Vodafone commercial. There were no rock stars, except for my brief moment of confusion in introducing the Jim Jones Orchestra [laughs].
Right. You’re talking about the Polyphonic Spree.
Marliyn Manson: Yeah. They were the most fascinating thing about the VMAs, and they represent everything that I despise in music and life: happiness, friendship, fellowship and bright clothing.
Avril Lavigne told me that you and she hang out. Why?
Marliyn Manson: Isn’t that a rhetorical question? Because I can. She came backstage at one of my shows in Canada. She’s very peculiar, because she travels without an entourage or a baby sitter, something I am incapable of doing. I also showed Avril my dildo-cam – it’s a dildo with a video camera inside – but we didn’t go too far with that.
What musician has been the biggest asshole toward you?
Marliyn Manson: If I were the kind of person to be insulted by petty things, I would be insulted by the way Trent Reznor has acted since I moved from Nothing Records [Reznor's label] on to Interscope.
I was at Madison Square Garden when you two kissed and made up a few years ago. What happened after that?
Marliyn Manson: Since then, he’s made remarks that I don’t care to respond to. And as long as I’m paying his bills, he should be respectful of me.

I wonder how many of Trent’s bills Marliyn is paying these days. About the time that Brian began really believing that he really is Marliyn Manson is about the same time that no one gave a shit anymore. He is now back to playing small venues and selling a handful of records, more of a novelty act than the viable rock presence that he was for his fifteen minutes. The days of Anti-Christ Superstar are long since over.
His songs used to be catchy and cute to me. I don’t even mean “The Beautiful People”, I’m talking the *sings offkey* “we’re all stars now in the dope show”, “I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like meee”, “I’m not a slave to a world that doesn’t give a fucccckkk”…
I didn’t enjoy the Tainted Love cover, but the video makes me chuckle.
Anyways, bleh.
Isn’t he starting to do movies? He was in a recent movie flop with Asia Argento.
I wonder what kind of duties a satanic minister is involved in??? oh, nevermind.

um, this isn’t the full article. How come? the funny bit about his dad wearing his t-shirts like ‘everlastic cocksucker’, that make him ashamed, etc.
HEY!
Weeeeeell, Trent was a bitch to Manson first – check out the “access” section of http://www.nin.com. So Manson’s actually only retorting to what Trent started, not the other way around.
And he’s a Reverend, not a minister, “j-lo”…if you’re gonna try & be funny, at least get it right.
He’s more involved with OTO than the Church of Satan these days anyway…
he is tired… if he does another cover I am goign to fucking scream
AND… Trent Reznor is going to knock him off of the map with the next NIN release… Trent Reznor has more talent then that two bit goth wannbe could have in 13 lifetimes combined
yes.. .ths is a very sensitive subject for me… no one talks about Trent like that…
i think that Marliyn Manson is a great singer.
He should keep singing and tring his best.
i like his song called “this is the new shit”
“dope show” those songs are great songs.well good bye
ps:keep doing your best Marliyn Manson
You’re Just A Bounch Of High Class Lamers.
[The Rolling Stones] [U2] Were Remarkable Groups
Not Damn US Sellouts Like Damn Trent Reznor Who Looks To Me As Equal As The Fucking ‘The Greatest Hist Of Limp Bizkit’ WTF IS That Anyway? A LimpBitchzit Prodced Mashup Of All Of His Crappy Tunes?
Learn Bout Talents-Read A Book-Go To Church Pray To Your God Or I Don’t Know-But Use Ur Hollow Brain At Least To Carry Sand In It Brain Deep Washed Morons.
PS:Then Go To Hell.
‘N’ Yes I’m 21 Not Your Grandma-Suits
u all need to back the fuck off mm he is awesome no matter what u guys say as for trent i rather stay silent but manson is the shit!!plus tainted love isnt that bad and so what if he makes one not so good covers he did sweet dreams and that was sick so lay off and find someone else to complain about!!!
PS:anyone who doesnt like brian warner can suck my asss, bitches!
Are all you people 12 years old or what? And I quote:
“PS:anyone who doesnt like brian warner can suck my asss, bitches!”
“PS:Then Go To Hell. ‘N’ Yes I’m 21 Not Your Grandma-Suits”
“yes.. .ths is a very sensitive subject for me… no one talks about Trent like that… ”
Wow…
you know I dont give a shit what all you hating sons of bitchs say. Manson has and always will be the greatest mother fucker ever. so FUCK OFF! Find something better to do then rag on manson!
To Allan-Who gives a fuck how old you are? I know I dont. You still seem as immature as a 5 yr-old to me. How about you..Go suck a dick-Learn how to type without capatilizing every fucking word-Find something better to do with your time than hate artists and their music you know nothing about. If you dont like Marilyn Manson, whatever, but dont go and say he and his music are shit because if you truly didnt like him as much as you say you do, I dont know why you would listen to enough of his music and read enough shit about him to think you know enough to go and say his music sucks and, according to you, anyone who likes him is obviously an idiot with a head full of sand. Try moving your head around a bit, Im sure youll be able to hear the sand swishing around.
marilyn manson perfectly embodies the pathetic trend in music toward style over substance. He is no better than good charlotte, and his music is worse. Manson fans tend to have goth-complexes, and of course if your stupid enough to buy into mansons out-of-date shock tactics (Britney spears is more scary) and then defend his music, youd have to have some kind of cerebral limitation. Manson fans can go fuck themselves before they start saying shit about trent reznor.
Trent Reznor is a true artist, unlike your poster-goth posuers such as manson and good charlotte. Reznor is far more inventive than manson, and while marilyn shit-head grows bitter in his deluded sense of self-worth(‘i am god’) and repetitive shithole music, Reznor continues to redifine music and push the boundaries. the new nin album will DESTROY YOU.
Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor are both amazing artists… Both of their music has extreme meaning to me.. Such as Nine Inch Nails “Hurt” or Marilyn Manson “Long Hard Road Out Of Hell” I like both of them equally… They are highly intelligent people.. I’m willing to stick up for either of them at any moment.
wtf?!?! for all thoze ppl who think nin is better than mm can go suck themselves nin’s guitar sucks ther drums suk trent reznor sucks who gives a shit if ther lyrics are better! and for the persun that compared mm 2 good charlotte has brain damage. good charlotte is afucking pop group that call themselves punk
hi,marliyn manson i like u and ur black style and i like ur songs my fav songs of urs is sweet dreames,god ate god and many,i like to be a vampire like u so be black,filty keep the good work.im also following ur style
Yeah. U2 never sold-out…….OOkay.
“Hey Bono, play that song from the Ipod commercial!” And as for Rolling Stones, by the time you started listening to them they had millions of fans, including my parents, so have fun on THAT bandwagon. That was the music of THEIR generation. I think it’s okay to appreciate good older music but don’t hide behind those bands to insult great musicians that exist today. You obviously know nothing about Trent Reznor. It’s a shame that something like this came between these once good friends. Marilyn Manson is a great artist and is just trying to keep his music fresh (a little misguided), give him a break. So hop off your mommy’s nipples, put your vinyls back in the attic, and LISTEN (without your current bias) to a MM or NIN album and calm your anti-musical progession self down.
DUDE…MARILYN MANSON IS SOOO FREAKING AMAZING…I MEAN HONESTLY, HE HAS THE MOST AMAZING VOICE EVER, AND HE’S NOT AFRAID TO BE DIFFERENT WHICH IS A LOT MORE THEN I CAN SAY ABOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD. NOT TO MENTION, HE IS DAM SEXY:P…..AND YA MARILYN MANSON….YOU SERIOUSLY ROCK SOO MUCH….I MUST ADMIT I DON’T LIKE THE WHOLE ANTI-CHRIST THING BUT WUTEVER….U ROCK SOO MUCH….:D

Manson just sucks at everything he does… He will be short lived in his singing and acting i think not…
Just thought you guys would like to know that he’s coming out with a new album soon called “Eat Me, Drink Me”. He’s rather proud of that dildo cam, isn’t he? I’ve heard it mentioned more than once haha… “Discovery Channel effect”
bottom line. in my humble opinion. both nine inch nails and marylin manson are on the same line in my book. the top 5: nin, mm, type o,kmfdm, and of course tool. all on same level. and whatever they roll out w/ then i will remain true
HAHA WOO go Marilyn and Avril.
Too bad they didn’t go far.
They’d have made a cute couple!
