Interview

Scott David: Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids! How you doin' Marilyn?

Marilyn Manson: Hey man, I'm spooky as always, how about you?

Scott David: Hey dude, pretty good. How did Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids originate?

Marilyn Manson: Well, Scott David, the idea of Marilyn Manson has been brewing in my head, one form or another, since I was about 12 years old in a christian high school in Canton, Ohio, but then you know, i moved and grew up and changed my shoe size and stuff, and then i met this guy named Daisy Berkowitz who was kinda rippen on guitar, and we had two different styles, different tastes, of music. He like more atherial kind of surreal soundscapes of guitar noise, and I was more into more distinct hard, uh, diffinetive sounds and what not. But we both had the same ideas as far as art wise, what we wanted to do with the band, so we got together we made this music and its just what we wanted and as far as the rest of the band, they were friends of mine, Olivia Newton Bundy and Zsa Zsa Speck, and they were interested in what we were doing so we brought them in. And thats how it happened.

Scott David: How did the name Marilyn Manson and the Spooky kids come about?

Marilyn Manson: Weellll, thats you know, thats kind of obvious cause Marilyn Manson is on my birth certificate and all, but as far as Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, this is the illegitimate offspring, of the worlds most, infamous, nafarious, and in our eyes, brilliant cult, psycho, weirdo, wackos in the world. Specificaly America of course. Cause were an American Band.

Scott David: Well personally, you dont look like a Marilyn, but i guess if your mother named you that what can I say. How would you describe your music?

Marilyn Manson: Well, you know people hate to describe their music, uh, what we have come to call it is "Beat Up Your Mom" music. As far as describing what it sounds like, I guess you'd have to listen. I think it's pretty much like, 60's meets 90's pshycadelic, industrial, brain toomer disorder, thrash sort of thing. Its kind of groovy, you know groovy. I guess the word groovy will work.

Scott David: Well i guess thats pretty specific. Is there a concept or a message you are trying to convey in your music?

Marilyn Manson: Well, Scott David, as far as a concept goes, ya their is a definant concept. Stuff like that, I put out a lot of ideas in the lyrics and the way we do are thing, theres a lot of ideas floatin' around and people who, know what it is, people will pick it up, if they know what to pick up. As far as coming around, saying anything, I dont think that I could, especially on this radio station.

Scott David: Well thank you for that.

Marilyn Manson: Sorry.

Scott David: How do you aproach writing new material?

Marilyn Manson: Well, you know, I've got a lot of words going around in my head, it's like a shoot up a dictionary and kinda puked it all over my brain kinda thing, and you know, Daisy over here is, pretty much the same way with his music. So we get together, with the guitar and its kinda tribal with the percussion, and we just work with it, its very tribal.

Scott David: Sounds like an encyclopedia of insanity.

Marilyn Manson: Ya, thats kinda cute scott.

Scott David: What song did you have the most fun with?

Marilyn Manson: Well Scott, I could sing it for you really quick and this is to all the girls I ever loved before "I had a little monkey, I send him to the country, and I fed him on Ginger Bread, along came a choo choo, knocked my monkey coo coo, and now my monkey's...dead". Thats my favorite.

Scott David: No wonder why you never had any girls that loved you after that rendition.

(laughter)

Scott David: Anyway, What artist were influencial to you in the past?

Marilyn Manson: When I was growing up, I dont know, I can't say that I ever grew up, I'm kind of like an evil little Peter Pan who will never get older, but as far as bands that I listened to, I liked Innagodadavita, Black Sabbath, and Jim Morrison, who was one of my all time idols, and, you know, a couple years ago, when I got "Papa Manson", thats Chuck his own album, it was a great influence on me. Very Innovative dude, I hate that word "Dude" but i'll say it again, innovative dude and he influenced what we are doing right now. To a certain extent.

Scott David: And a Number 1 best selling album, my I add.

Marilyn Manson: Ya all the time, Manson, still on the billboard.

Scott David: Who do you find exciting presently?

Marilyn Manson: Well, Scott, not to offend you or your listeners, the wax track seen and network is really cool, and there is a lot of bands that are breaking some new patterns here, but you know, industrial music is in general, starting to get hemoginized. I'm really impressed with the new Knight of Rabbi, because they have done some really different stuff this time around and the revolting-.
