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

It's great, because different groups of kids can laugh at each other and still enjoy the show.

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

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.

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