'''''A new and slightly offbeat style has recently taken over with industrial/glam/metal band Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. I got a chance to speak to Mr. Manson himself over coffee and delve into this ambience of darkness and human oddity.'''''



'''June Westenburg: So, how did the show go last night? I got to catch a little bit of it at the end and you guys seemed to be doing all right.'''

'''Marilyn Manson''': Yeah, actually, it didn't go half bad - the sound was fucked somewhat but overall we had a great time.



'''JW: Your guitarist got smoked pretty hard with something - he was bleeding.'''

'''MM''': Yeah, [[Daisy Berkowitz|Daisy]] got hit with something thrown from the audience - I don't think it was aimed directly at him...But it hit him pretty hard



'''JW: Him and the bassist - they're the ones who write the music, right?'''

'''MM''': Mm mm and [[Stephen Bier|Madonna]] does as well. I write the lyrics, they write the music. Daisy and [[Gidget Gein|Gidget]] mostly. Mostly Daisy.



'''JW: It was you and him who hooked up in the beginning, right?'''

'''MM''': It's an odd story, I think I met him at a party or something and we were both really interested in making music - he'd already had some experience with bands and stuff under his belt - like just fucked up instrumentals with a drum machine..So when we just started out, it was him on guitar and drum machine, and me on voice...Very lo-fi, which is how I'd like it to stay.



'''JW: Looks like you guys are slowly climbing up the ladder of success.'''

'''MM''': Sounds like it. I'm not sure. I don't know what I want to happen. I think I'd handle stardom pretty well, eh? *Laughs*


'''JW: HARDCORE!'''

'''MM''': FUCK YEAH!



'''JW: So, you get along with the rest of the band more or less okay?'''

'''MM''': More or less. There's a few problems but they're ones that I can overlook. You know, the everyday problems a band goes through.



'''JW: I couldn't stand it. Well, maybe I could.'''

'''MM''': You probably could. It turns out great after everyone just sort of cools off, you know?



'''JW: Yeah, yeah, I know..Soooo..Single?'''

'''MM''': Er. Not really. Kind of. Nooo..Well..*laughs*



'''JW: Haha..Not too sure eh? Boy or girl?'''

'''MM''': Girl.



'''JW: If you don't want to talk about sex, that's okay.'''

'''MM''': All right. We won't. Let's just say I'm just a curious little boy who likes to try out new things...Yeah..



'''JW: Aren't we all, though. Any last words before we end?'''

'''MM''': Well, I don't want to end up being a media whore. And all that. I want to be a positive and negative symbol at the same time. Make any sense?

'''JW: Of course.'''
