Nobody seems to play Yamaha electrics, but it's the best guitar I own.

I'd played in about four or five bands before we started up, only a couple of which did club dates.

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

I just saw metal as another tool for me to use.

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

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

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.
