Marilyn Manson’s Music with Feeling
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Rock, New Releases,
Marilyn Manson hopes people "feel something" when listening to his new album, Born Villain.
The rocker - notorious for his explicit lyrics and dark sound - admits the record has been a "challenge," but loved getting his teeth into a new project.
"If everything is happy, then who gives a s**t, or if it's just a straight line, I won't give a s**t either. If it's down, which is sometimes where I was more often than up, it's not inspiring. So I just wanted to make something that would make people feel something. I was playing it to people that were my friends. Some of them never heard my music before, never liked my music, whatever the situation was, but it's a challenge and I love a challenge. I had forgotten how much I love a challenge."
Marilyn, 43, admitted he went back to his old style of writing music compared to his last two albums, Eat Me, Drink Me, and The High End of Low.

Marilyn Manson Teams Up with Johnny Depp
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Rock,
Marilyn Manson teamed up with Johnny Depp for his new album, Born Villain.
Johnny provided guitar and drums for a cover of Carly Simon's 1972 hit "You're So Vain," which shock rocker Marilyn felt would be a particularly "ironic" track for them to take on.
"We did a cover version together of a song which we thought was ironic for each other. He played drums and lead guitar, and I played guitar and sang. It's a bonus track on my record and the video will probably be us looking at each other like a mirror," Manson said.
Johnny has previously said he took inspiration from Marilyn for his character Willy Wonka in the 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The pair are friends, and although Marilyn's tracks such as "Cake and Sodomy" and "I Don't Like the Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)" hardly make him a child friendly performer, he has been booked for his Johnny's son's tenth birthday party.
