Marilyn Manson: “We’re Going To Play Each Album On A Different Night”
Marilyn Manson spoke to Hammer and announced his plans to play three of the classic albums on seperate nights in cities around the world. Plus, he fields questions about this year’s Download performance…
“In the States – and a few select dates in Europe maybe – we plan to play the three albums, ‘Holywood’, ‘Mechanical Animals’ and ‘Antichrist Superstar’ top-to-bottom at three nights in each city, which is something we’ve never done – we’ve never attempted live.”
And did you hear who Marilyn Manson is dating… again?
Do you feel your recent negative live reviews – like Download – were fair?
“I didn’t really read them but I don’t think we were in as nearly good shape as we’re in now. I’m not going to make any excuses but right now we’re taking shit from anyone, we’re kicking ass. It’s more punk rock and stripped down but at the same time it’s more theatrical, it’s just back in the groove of what Marilyn Manson’s supposed to be. It took a lot to crawl out of the hole in my mind that I was in after finishing the record, [taking some time off] and not knowing what I wanted to do with myself. And now I do. So that’s gonna come across.”
Don’t forget that you can win tickets to the London show to see Marilyn Manson
‘High End Of Low’ marks an upturn for the reception of MM albums, do you feel like you’re on the up?
“I hope so. I’d like it to be. I think it’s just a matter of making music… honestly, I find the best gauge for testing out songs is to play them to a girl. It doesn’t have to be any girl in particular. I tend to think that girls are the best gauge on songs because if they like it… I remember when I went to concerts when I was young to pick up girls that were going there to try and get the rock band to have sex with them [chuckle], it simplifies the music making process, [chuckles], no honestly, I just think… I like my opinion, and I can be objective. I’m not so self-centred that I think something sounds good… I’m a harsh critic, of myself especially so, right now I think I made an amazing record that I want more people to hear and I’m going to make more videos and I’m going to do it on my terms. And I’ve got a new website to facilitate that.”

now im excited to see them in birmingham and london!!! welcome back anti-christ we’ve missed u!!!
Don’t get too excited yet, the proof will be in the performances
if manson was to do a coheed nevereneder type gig for the anti christ to holywood albums think I’d kill to see it… would be Colossal!
I just hope he plays Mobscene when i see him on the 13th. Apparently he doesn’t play it much.
Manson must love this website and this website must love Manson because he doesn’t seem to talk to any other publication.
Anyway, this news is great – however, the best news is that he’s making a new album. I hope it comes out in 2010, I don’t want to wait years for a new album.
I hope someone records the live performances in HD!!!
Why the hell doesn’t he play American Family! I’d rarther see that than Anti-Christ if I’m honest.
This sounds awesome I can’t wait till he comes back to America with this.
yey im so excited!!! marilyn manson ur the best and yey ur back!!
Manson please come to MEXICO next year please. We LOVE You, and We NEED You.
You’re f**king incredible, a great artist, a great singer, a great Antichrist Svperstar.
If you really come here, and play a super special setlist from us; like “Guns, God and Goverment tour” setlist or full “Antichrist Svperstar” or “Holy Wood” or “Mechanical Animals” or 3 albums whole.
Please, you have a lot of fans that wating for YOU and TWIGGY.
Please let the news about the full album performances be true… The last MM album I listened to was Mechanical Animals when I was in 6th grade… And once or twice a year I’ll bust out Mechanical Animals and everything that came before it because even though it’s sort of cheesy to me now, they’re still rockin’ albums.
I’d pay a decent buck to see Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals live, which were staples of my music collection growing up, and probably have an influence over what I listen to now, so I’ll always have a soft spot for early MM.
