It all begins with the initial tone coming from the cabinet, but EQ at the board is very important.

If you make it sound too much like a synth, it will just sound like a guitar part played on a synth.

I'm happy with the way everyone presents themselves onstage.

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.

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

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

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