It was revealed in an <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/exclusive-marilyn-manson-i’m-back-with-evan-rachel-wood/ interview with Metal Hammer] and he states that “We’ve just been released from our record contract with Interscope so I think a lot of the creative control on which my hands were tied on a lot of choices – the music videos – things like that. And the first example is the newest video, they clearly wouldn’t have allowed me to make that video.
