New Marilyn Manson - "If I Was Your Vampire"

Brian Warner's made no secret of the depression that inspired his forthcoming EAT ME, DRINK ME, and he's being no less discreet about his bond with his new flame, telling French newspaper Le Parisien (via People):

I've found my double, my twin, with my new girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood.
Marilyn's 38. He went on:
She's l9 and certainly that's very young, but that's not a problem for me. She likes the same things as me. She understands I like to get up when night falls and go to sleep at dawn.
The nocturnal couple met on the set for Marilyn's upcoming horror flick Phantasmagoria, though one assumes they advanced their relationship considerably before realizing they had that all-important sleep-by-day thing in common. Manson's ex Dita Von Teese cited "irreconcilable differences" in the divorce (read: that crazy bitch likes to sleep at night) and recently said she and Marilyn "are not friends ... But we don't hate each other or anything." Guess which one of the two "If I Was Your Vampire" is about.

Marilyn called the track "the new 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' ... It's the all-time goth anthem." Take a listen at MySpace and judge the degree of Bauhaus blasphemy. (In fairness, it's twenty times better than "Heart Shaped Glasses.")

What in the world is she doing with him?

Manson is not aging well.

By now, a real dark artist would have shunned the press, moved overseas, and spent his nights drinking absinthe and smoking elephant bones in the belfry of some gothic, medieval castle, maybe releasing obscure records that no one understands every few years.

This guy's just a Hot Topic douche.

Yeah, he doesn't seem dangerous anymore, which makes it all the more infuriating that chicks dig him. Maybe not infuriating...confusing at least.

I made out with Manson once when I was 19. The less creepy part is that he was Brian Warner then and he was 19 too. Now, when I think about it, I feel the urge to disinfect my lips.

It sounds like just another MM song. I think the statement was for hype, oh well.

How do you from Jamie Bell to Marilyn Manson? Seriously, is this girl for real?

Now, I understand that Jamie is the roommate of a MisShapes kid, but that's no reason to punish him this much.

This isn't to get back at her "pops" who is a star f*cker himself...but to get back at mum is more to the point.
I hear her mum has been strict while she was growing up.
Who didn't f up when they were 19?

Dita should thank her lucky stars she got rid of that baggage. Brian Warner is a hot mess.

And Tom, Hot Topic douche is the funniest thing to hit me all day. Thanks.

You fuck that are baggin on Marilyn should just shut the fuck up what the big deal if he wants to date a 19 year old. She wants to date him to so just let it be. Damn Manson has been one of the only musically talented people to take so much shit and still be himself. Why is it that the different person always gets the most shit talked about him. When the people that talk all this shit should be damned to HEAVEN cause living in HELL is so much better. So all you Manson haters should stay the fuck off the damn sites that talk about him and go have you orgasm while you listen to your fuckin Sean Paul and Fergie shit.

Good Day to you all

Manson is a true musician.

Derek, my boy...where to begin? "Damn Manson has been one of the only musically talented people to take so much shit and still be himself." That's why his recording name is Brian Warner, right? "Why is it that the different person always gets the most shit talked about him." Um, I'm pretty sure Dishwalla and Swirl 360 are more talked about on this site than Marilyn. "When the people that talk all this shit should be damned to HEAVEN cause living in HELL is so much better." Wow, settle down there, Columbine. "So all you Manson haters should stay the fuck off the damn sites that talk about him and go have you orgasm while you listen to your fuckin Sean Paul and Fergie shit." Again, nobody talks about Marilyn Manson here. This was the first time and probably won't happen again. This is Stereogum.com, not 90shasbeenshockrockerwaitingforthatktelphonecall.com. And sir, even if readers here were to listen to Fergie or Sean Paul, aren't they allowed to since musical taste is subjective? They certainly can exercise their right to listen to shitty, awful music. Clearly, you've exercised yours.

It occurs to me that most of the people who comment on all of these new Manson articles spilling out over the internet are either completely ignorant of the subject of their detraction, have had a bad day, or are just fucking stupid.

Win/Win

Fuck Mike - he's talking about manson on this site just like everyone else is, including me. everyone has their own opinion and my opinion is that all you stupid shits should just keep your ignorant hate comments to yourself. you want to teach kids that manson is bad, well thats what your doing. you sensless shitheads are the ones who start the controversy and hate, and feed off of each others comments like cock craved gays. keep your jockstrap comments to yourself and go fuck yourselves in heaven.

kk, i have to side with Derek on this one. everyone should stop bitching about his martial status and talk about shit message boards are made for. A NEW CD!!! i don't consider "Lest We Forget" a new CD so this is new spitz since TGAOG that was released in what, 01? .... this is stupid

Death - Thanks for that trenchant insight. When reading this article, I immediately thought "Where does the obnoxious and hypocritical goth douche lobby stand on this one?" Way to clear that up for me. Oh, and cool name, by the way. It's very dark and goth.

Stereogum - I know there are slow news days and you guys still need articles to post, but I can live without you guys posting anything at all, if all you're going to post is about a fading rocker desperately clinging to his last gasp of fame.

Hey everybody just needs to take a breather. I'm practically new to listening to marilyn manson, and I don't need to be a mindless thinker just to agree with everyone. Manson is Dating Rachel, so what? I didn't even think Dita could last that long... So Manson has a new album coming out... Good for him... I need something recent to listen to than all these old albums of his that are getting repetitive. I like vampires, and finally something worthy writing about, as opposed to being the world's biggest antichrist. What a waste of time! I say thank you Manson for being original... about 7 times now!

Ok, I just dont get why everyone here feels so insucure about themselve to first off all have a go at marilyn manson, then have a go at music, then at eachother just because they have different opinions about manson and different music preferences. Its all just fucking stupid,just sit back and chill. Clearly manson dont give two fucks so neither should the public about who hates who and so on. It's like reading comments from a pack of bitchy school girls. Fuck marilyn mansons just laughing right at ya, he got a sexy young woman at almost the age of 40, so really do you think the man cares ? For the record Im a Manson fan.

what is up with the negative commentary?
Manson is awesome! His new music is raging with passion, he looks hotter than hell, and who can honestly say that they wouldn't date Evan Rachel Wood just b/c she is 20 yrs. old?
Love is love...you can't knock it in any way regardless of whomever it is beween.
