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.

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.

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

We're approaching things quite differently this time, but it will still sound like Marilyn Manson.

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