Marilyn Manson Amused by Johnny Depp Track
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Covers, Rock, New Releases,
Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp found covering "You're So Vain" "amusing."
The rocker and the actor have collaborated on a version of Carly Simon's classic song - which features as bonus material on the "Beautiful People" hitmaker's new album Born Villain - and Manson thinks the track is a perfect representation of how people think of himself and his pal, who plays drums and guitar on the recording.
"We started jamming - I don't even like to use that word because I think it sounds too musical and I consider myself to be more of a problem-maker than a musician. We ended up thinking, what could we do that would be really amusing to both of us because of what people think about us? 'You're So Vain' really says it all," he explained.
Marilyn Manson's last two albums, Eat Me, Drink Me and The High End of Low, received disappointing reviews and poor sales, and the singer admits he went through a "confusing" time but is now confident with himself again.

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.
