I even have a Harmony Rocket and a Stratocaster with a scalloped neck back in Florida.

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.

I have about nine guitars in all, so obviously I'm into collecting.

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.

What you hear about the band is always going to be more disturbing than any particular song.

Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.

We'll only be playing four new songs live, but all the material for the next album is basically finished.
