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

Micing it from two different angles in front of the speaker sounds huge, and it's so simple.

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

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.

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

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.
