Marilyn Manson Has Learned From Akon's Mistakes

When an audience member recently flung a bottle at Marilyn Manson during a gig, beaning his bassist in the process, MM took great pains not to repeat the error of the recently indicted Akon. (Who, as you may recall, dealt with a similar bottle-thrower last summer by pulling him onto the stage and then ejecting him onto the concrete, earning Akon a misdemeanor harrassment charge.) Why the caution? Because someone was filming the incident on a cell phone, of course! More »

Marilyn Manson's Weird-Ass Yard Sale: Now Slightly Weirder

Remember a few months back when Stephen "Madonna Wayne Gacy" Bier, possibly better known to you as Marilyn Manson's ex-keyboardist, sued Manson for skimming band profits to buy knickknacks like "African masks made of human skin, a full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl that Manson is said to have turned into a chandelier, and another skeleton of a man in a wheelchair"?

Listening Station: Marilyn Manson Comes Around

A question for the music bloggers WTF-ing themselves into a tizzy over Marilyn Manson's Justin Timberlake cover: Heh? Are you really that surprised by the notion of an "edgy" musician doing a semi-ironic cover of a pop song? This has pretty much been a go-to attention-getting ploy for years, which is exactly why Manson did it. In fact, the only thing shocking about this ca-razy cover is that Manson didn't do it six months ago: More »
