It's like tabloid news programs that talk about how horrible something is, while at the same time they're glorifying it as their top story.

We're playing the same songs, the same way, that we have for years.

We're approaching things quite differently this time, but it will still sound like Marilyn Manson.

Well, I didn't really grow up playing or listening to metal, like many of the kids I went to school with. I only got into it in my late teens, so when Marilyn Manson formed, it was at a time when I was still excited about approaching music from that angle.

There are kids out there that are into Iron Maiden and others who are strictly into industrial music, but they come for the same reason; they all like us and they different things out of the band's music.

Each member of the band has varied influences, and the same diversity is reflected in our fanbase.
