Marilyn Manson

[CheapJon]

another thing that is pure speculations of course but..

if finck had left gnr and wasn't allowed back, but regretted leaving the chance to write his own stuff since he joined NIN, he could leave NIN too and ask marilyn if he could join his band that would kick fucking ass

[GeraldFord]

From Blabbermouth:


Former LIMP BIZKIT/current BLACK LIGHT BURNS member Wes Borland has joined MARILYN MANSON as the group's new guitarist. The news was announced by Manson himself at a press conference earlier today ahead of his band's appearance tomorrow (Friday, August 15) at the ETP Festival in Seoul, Korea.

Manson said, "We have a new guitar player that's gonna play for the first time tomorrow; it's the first time we'll play on stage [together]. His name is Wes Borland and he used to be in a really terrible band that he left because he felt that it was a destructive force in art, and he has his own band, BLACK LIGHT BURNS, but now he is in MARILYN MANSON. We don't know how permanent that is, but starting tomorrow will be the first step. So this will be the most indestructible MARILYN MANSON."

Watch a clip of Manson talking about Wes Borland joining the band below. (Note: Borland's name is mentioned around the 2:40 mark.)

MARILYN MANSON is in the middle of recording a new album, which is expected to be released sometime next year.

Manson's longtime bassist, Twiggy Ramirez, toured with Manson earlier this year for the first time since 2002. The two co-wrote "Antichrist Superstar", "Mechanical Animals" and "Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)" together and Manson told The Salt Lake Tribune this past spring that he couldn't be happier about Ramirez returning.

"I missed having my best friend," Manson said. "We were like brothers."

Does anyone know if Chris Vrenna is part of the studio&songwriting team or just a live musican?
He's brilliant thing to have around in studio environment.
He has released solo stuff  under the name Tweaker, and most of it is very cool.

On paper, Manson has very strong songwriting team at the moment, actually.

BLB is pretty cool (just got their debut) so I'm happy to see WB in the band. I hope he plays/writes on the new CD.

[GeraldFord]

Getting excited about Manson?s new album. I loved EMDM (and thought TGAOG was okay) but it just wasn?t the same with Twiggy. I feel that the Twiggy era was one of the best bands of the 90s/early 00s and am excited to see what they have cooking. I also hope Wes Borland gets to contribute.

?I just got an updated script [for PHANTASMAGORIA] today," Manson says explaining that making records always seems to get in the way of filming the movie. "I don?t know what the status is, except that I think that timing has always been a problem with it, because I wanted to do a record when it was time to do it. Now, we?re focused on making another record."

He continues, "We're almost done. The new record is very much where we left off without repeating something we've done [already].?

Twiggy Ramirez, the band's long-time bassist, adds a little jolt of information, ?It sounds like ripping a rib cage up and taking a shit on your chest or on your heart.?

pretty hard album i guess

[mrlee]

love those shades.

rockstars.

[Mechanical-Worm]

I'm here and wanna talk Manson.

Anyone reply.

(I'm not sounding desperate?)

In other news,

Manson says we might see a single release before the year's end. I hope it's true.

[mrlee]

haha i shall discuss manson with you in a few minutes. I must have tea first.


But to start it off. What do you think his best album is?

[Jim]

None. They are all trash. Rah!

Only joking. Mechanical Animals, obviously. But I like most stuff pre Golden Age. I don't have any time for anything that came afterwards (and including!).

[CheapJon]

I dunno why, it seems most people don't like golden age, i think it kicks a lot of ass


favourite album? i can't say,

weakest is maybe portrait although it has good songs like get your gunn, lunchbox, dope hat and cake and sodomy, pretty much doesn't listen to other songs on that record

last album lacked in asskicking songs

[Mechanical-Worm]

But to start it off. What do you think his best album is?

It varies between Portrait of an American family and Antichrist Superstar (most of the time I lead towards the former).

Odd I know.

I like most stuff pre Golden Age. I don't have any time for anything that came afterwards (and including!).

Golden Age of Grotesque is where he gained tons of new lame fans and lost tons of older ones - turning point of the career if you ask me. I fancy the album myself, I think most don't enjoy it due to lack of 'evident concepts.' They are there, although vague as all hell.

[mrlee]

i enjoy Mechanical Animals, Holywood and Golden age the most.

I was never really into Anti Christ, it always felt messy.

crazy i know.

[Gunner80]

I love Holywood - crazy I know.

[AxlsMainMan]

Antichrist Superstar is my favorite rock album by Manson, and Mechanical Animals is my favorite pop album by him.

[*Timothy*]

Mechanical Animals always seemed like more glam rock too me.
