Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar. |
It's like tabloid news programs that talk about how horrible something is, while at the same time they're glorifying it as their top story. |
It all begins with the initial tone coming from the cabinet, but EQ at the board is very important. |
It's great, because different groups of kids can laugh at each other and still enjoy the show. |
There are kids out there that are into Iron Maiden and others who are strictly into industrial music, but they come for the same reason; they all like us and they different things out of the band's music. |
But the exposure we got by doing the stint with Nine Inch Nails brought us a lot of attention. |
We were like psychedelic folk combined with Sonic Youth's noise. |
Trent likes to record guitars direct, whereas I've always preferred playing through an amplifier. |
I'd played in about four or five bands before we started up, only a couple of which did club dates. |
We're playing the same songs, the same way, that we have for years. |
Nobody seems to play Yamaha electrics, but it's the best guitar I own. |
I even have a Harmony Rocket and a Stratocaster with a scalloped neck back in Florida. |
We'll only be playing four new songs live, but all the material for the next album is basically finished. |
I'm open to getting more equipment, but I really won't have time to look into that until after the tour. |
Each member of the band has varied influences, and the same diversity is reflected in our fanbase. |
Well, I didn't really grow up playing or listening to metal, like many of the kids I went to school with. I only got into it in my late teens, so when Marilyn Manson formed, it was at a time when I was still excited about approaching music from that angle. |
I just saw metal as another tool for me to use. |
What you hear about the band is always going to be more disturbing than any particular song. |
There will be some tracks on the next album which that will consist of mostly noise and feedback, whereas others may just have guitar parts and samples. |
We're approaching things quite differently this time, but it will still sound like Marilyn Manson. |
