Q&A: Marilyn Manson
The Antichrist Superstar wants Bowie for president and Beyonce for
secretary of defense
By AUSTIN SCAGGS
Marilyn Manson has cleaned up his act. Well, sort of. About a year
ago, things were so out of control - the drugs, the women, the
tensions in his band - that Manson, for the first time in his life,
went to a shrink. Hanging out with Manson for a couple of nights in
New York, it's easy to see that another part of his rehabilitation has
come from the calming influence of his fiancee, burlesque star Dita
Von Teese, who Manson plans to marry soon in a European castle. Also
buoying Manson's spirits (besides the absinthe he says he drinks on a
daily basis) is the success of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 - and
the hope that art can actually have an impact on society. "I realized
the most important thing for me to do is to just be me," says Manson,
who will release a best-of compilation, Lest We Forget, on September
28th. "Because America would not be worth living in if Marilyn Manson
did not exist."
What is your first musical memory?
A cross-country trip from Ohio to Texas with my parents - we went to
go see the Alamo - and at a truck stop, my parents had purchased
"sound-alike" 8-tracks. I remember we had this Creedence Clearwater
Revival rip-off, and I also listened to a lot of Kiss on that trip. I
had a notebook and sat on the floor of this Oldsmobile drawing crude
pictures of Gene Simmons and Peter Criss.
Your dad collects all your press clippings and hangs them on the wall.
Your parents' house must look like a shrine.
He's got everything, like the Weekly World News that said that the
Nazis got together with some Egyptians, created me in outer space and
sent me back in time to destroy the world. I can't even attempt to be
low-key around him, because he wears these old T-shirts of mine that
say things like "God of Fuck" and "Everlasting Cocksucker" - stuff
that makes me ashamed.
What's the last great rock show you saw?
I saw Bowie a couple of months ago for the very first time. He was
great. I proposed to my fiancee with "Be My Wife" playing. He did
"Quicksand" and "Ashes to Ashes," my two favorite songs. I was really
afraid, because he asked to meet me. I was trying my best not to meet
him, because there is often the horror of meeting someone you really
admire, and they are everything you don't want them to be. But he
made a snappy comment about my outfit, and I felt like a little schoolboy.
I bet you don't feel like a schoolboy too often.
Yeah, except when I do these little stints with teenage girls, like
with Mandy Moore at the VMAs.
What's wrong with MTV's Video Music Awards? It used to be fun to watch.
What's right about it? The rock section was condensed into a ninety-
second montage with three bands that nobody was even sure of unless
they heard the songs on a Vodafone commercial. There were no rock
stars, except for my brief moment of confusion in introducing the Jim
Jones Orchestra [laughs].
Right. You're talking about the Polyphonic Spree.
Yeah. They were the most fascinating thing about the VMAs, and they
represent everything that I despise in music and life: happiness,
friendship, fellowship and bright clothing.
Avril Lavigne told me that you and she hang out. Why?
Isn't that a rhetorical question? Because I can. She came backstage
at one of my shows in Canada. She's very peculiar, because she
travels without an entourage or a baby sitter, something I am
incapable of doing. I also showed Avril my dildo-cam - it's a dildo
with a video camera inside - but we didn't go too far with that.
What musician has been the biggest asshole toward you?
If I were the kind of person to be insulted by petty things, I would
be insulted by the way Trent Reznor has acted since I moved from
Nothing Records [Reznor's label] on to Interscope.
I was at Madison Square Garden when you two kissed and made up a few
years ago. What happened after that?
Since then, he's made remarks that I don't care to respond to. And as
long as I'm paying his bills, he should be respectful of me.
You said in a recent interview that the "perfect utopia would be for
artists to replace politicians and the government." Who should be president?
It would have to be more of a dictator or a king, and just out of
clear pretentiousness I would say myself. But I would still yield to
the seniors. Maybe Bowie should be king first, then he could knight me.
What about a secretary of defense?
Beyonce, because she's got the hips for it.
When you perform, what essential items do you keep nearby?
I have an area where I do my quick change. On my last tour, I'd have
absinthe with a glass of ice; black makeup, which hasn't been worn
since Al Jolson; and drugs. We won't talk specifics about the drugs.
C'mon! Cocaine?
I'll tell you what. I'm someone who carries a lot of straws, but I
don't drink milkshakes at all.
