Interview with Marilyn Manson in Foamm Magazine, by June Westerburg. (early 90's)
A new and slightly offbeat style has taken over with industrial/glam/metel 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.
FM: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 alright..
MM:Yeah, actually, it didn't go half bad-the sound was fucked somewhat but overall we had a great time.
FM:Your guitarist got smoked pretty hard with something-he was bleeding.
MM: yeah, Daisy got hit with something thrown from the audience-I dont think it was aimed directly at him.....But it hit him pretty hard.
FM: Him and the bassist-they're the ones who write the music right?
MM: Mmmm..and Madonna does as well. I write the lyrics, they write the music. Daisy and Gidget mostly. Mostly Daisy.
FM: It was you and him that 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 instruments 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.
FM: Looks like you guys are slowly climbing up the ladder of success.
MM: Sounds like it. I'm not sure. I dont know what I want to happen. I think I'd handle stardom pretty well, eh? *laughs*
FM: HARDCORE!
MM: FUCK YEAH!
FM: 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 bands go through.
FM: I couldent stand it!..Well, maybe I could..
MM: You probably could. It turns out great after everyone just cools off, you know?
