In the latest issue of Revolver Magazine (May 2003) not only is Marilyn Manson on the cover but
you get an in-depth interview and brand new photos.
Here is just a sample of what Revolver had to say about Manson and The Golden Age Of Grotesque:
"Manson is first and foremost a musician who delivers kick ass hard rock records, and who is one of the most captivating live performers that I've ever had the pleasure of seeing."
"His new disc is perhaps his finest work to date: loud, snotty, and as infectious as an Ebola virus spore."

Marilyn Manson will release "The Golden Age of Grotesque" on May 13, 2003 on Interscope Records. The tracklisting is as follows:

Intro
This Is The New Shit
mOBSCENE
Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggety-Zag
Use Your Fist And Not Your Mouth
The Golden Age Of Grotesque
(s)AINT
Ka-Boom Ka-Boom
Slutgarden
Spade
Para-noir
The Bright Young Things
Better Of Two Evils
Vodevil
Obsequy (The Death Of Art)

The album is produced by Marilyn Manson and Tim Skold and mixed by Ben Grosse. The first single will be "mOBSCENE."

Marilyn Manson takes his inspirations from the glamour of 1930s Hollywood, the grotesque of Vaudeville to the extreme height of cabaret decadence and so-called "degenerate" art in Weimar Berlin just before its destruction.

Manson says, "This album is about expression. The imagination and personality of the individual cannot be trapped by small minds or defined by any one person. The genius of art finds sanctuary among children and madmen to survive. That, is who we are."

Marilyn Manson has collaborated with renown artist Gottfried Helnwein for the album's controversial artwork which is part of a greater series that will be exhibited in museums all across the world. For more info check www.marilynmanson.com and

"We were shooting in a nasty neighborhood in Brooklyn and Mac takes Marilyn to the local bodega to get a pack of Virginia Slims and shows him how to smoke a cigarette," co-director Fenton Bailey told The Post's Megan Turner.

Marilyn Manson and painter Gottfried Helnwein have joined forces to collaborate on a series of creations that are aimed at placing art on the edge, where it belongs. In the tradition of AKTION, the pair intend to have a powerful effect on the bland world of entertainment.

Helnwein's use of taboo subject matter has gained him respect and notoriety worldwide. Museums in NYC, Berlin, Vienna and Zurich are just a few locations where his challenging images have left controversy in their wake. He has worked with Marlena Dietrich and was chosen by Time Magazine to paint JFK on the 20th anniversary of his assassination.

The Simon Wiesenthal Foundation supported his work in Europe and here in Los Angeles, the Museum of Tolerance will be displaying a series of portraits that were vandalized by neo-fascists who labeled them "degenerate art."

His fight for expression and stance against oppression are reasons why Manson chose him as an artistic partner. Check the journal for candid pics and more.

Davis also praised the record and expressed a desire to tour with Manson in a recent interview with MetalHammer.co.uk, saying "It all depends on our record labels, Y'know - if they're gonna be a--holes or not! We've talked about it and I've been over to listen to his new stuff and his new album ('The Golden Age Of Grotesque') is f---ing amazing! I love what he's doing and I'd like to be a part of it."

Marilyn Manson moves forward with a dramatic change in style, attitude and personnel by announcing the departure of longtime friend and bassist Twiggy Ramirez.

“I have spent eight months transforming this band and our new songs into an unstoppable juggernaut, and sadly Twiggy wasn’t able to make himself a part of it,” says Manson. “Unfortunately, I feel that Marilyn Manson, as a lifestyle, is not where his heart is. So I have decided to let him go his own way, otherwise it wouldn’t be fair to us, the music, or especially to the fans. Although you can never replace a best friend like Twiggy, this album and new lineup will redefine anyone’s idea of what Marilyn Manson is capable of.”

Marilyn Manson, John 5, M.W. Gacy and Ginger Fish are joined by bassist Tim Skold.
The Golden Age of Grotesque, which is under the production team of Manson, Skold and Ben Grosse is near completion and expected this Fall on Interscope Records.

An Oakland County (Michigan) judge has refused to remove another judge from the assault case involving Marilyn Manson, clearing the way for a likely resolution of the case.

Rochester District Judge Julie Nicholson, of the 52nd District Court, was asked to disqualify Clarkston District Judge Gerald McNally. Prosecutors argued that McNally should be disqualified because he suggested he would fine Manson $2,000 on two misdemeanor charges.

Prosecutors said Monday they likely won't appeal Nicholson's ruling. Defense attorney Walter Piszczatowski said his client will likely plead to the misdemeanor and be done with the case.

"It's the correct ruling," Piszczatowski told The Oakland Press in Pontiac for a Tuesday story.

Manson was arrested after a July 30 performance at DTE Energy Music Theatre. Prosecutors allege that he assaulted a security guard there by rubbing his genitals against the guard's neck.

In December, the charges were reduced from fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and assault and battery to disorderly conduct — punishable by up to 90 days in jail.

Manson is expected to appear in court in Oakland County on June 14.

“The inspiration (of the upcoming album) came from 1930’s Berlin, because it reminded me of America today in that we’ve reached such a point of decadence and extremism in art that people wonder where we’ll go from here.”

“I’d be happy making this record and having a grand tour that’s the ‘Grotesque Burlesque’, and making it the greatest thing that people have ever seen… and never doing it again!”

For those of you that happened to be watching “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” last night (Thursday at 9:00 P.M. ET. /8:00 P.M.

The shows DNA specialist, Greg Sanders (Eric Szmanda) was blasting the song while performing lab work… only until a visit from his superiors would eventually interrupt his fun.

Manson has now answered the question many of you have been asking, regarding the typed piece of text in the title page of his JOURNAL section. Read his entry below:

The aged text that serves as an opening image to my journal, was put there to promote thought and discussion. I would like to make it clear that these words are not mine, nor did I intend for you to believe that they were.

I used one of the memoirs of the great and talented, Marlene Dietrich as a bit of an amusement park sign that one might see at night.

Will it turn on? Has it ever been on? Do I want it to?

At 11:30am this morning, at 6780 Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood, California... Ozzy Osbourne was awarded a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. Manson delivered a speech at the sidewalk ceremony, part of which is transcribed below:

"Most people think that you have to be happy to succeed socially, politically or financially or that success brings happiness. In turn, those who are eternally unhappy are expected to go insane and or become criminals. This star proves that it is quite obvious that Ozzy has managed to succeed while remaining insane and strangely happy despite his various crimes against man and nature."

Marilyn Manson has returned to crash the ether with a wit-savage shape, painting us a depraved new world disorder on his fifth studio album titled, “The Golden Age Of Grotesque.” Manson is currently in the studio and is expecting a fall release on Interscope Records. Even at such an early stage, the focus of the music’s aggressive transformation is fashioned and fearless.

The nearly completed collection of songs is being orchestrated by the theatrical production team of Manson, Tim Skold and Ben Gross. The result is what Marilyn Manson describes as his “most genius deluge of hardcore guitar-drum violence and reckless electronic-punk vaudeville mixed with 30s cabaret decadence and Arch-dandy dada. These snot-nose stompalongs will convince the finger-waving, faithless bangsters one thing for sure. We can only become what we really are when we no longer believe what others have convinced us to be. We won’t follow religion, we are one. And the understanding of my art is only the sad product of journalism. Fuck art. I am art.”

On his influences, Manson had this to say, “My inspiration for this record came from historic parallels to my own present position in popular culture. Most notably, I found myself fascinated with the overwhelming imaginative, sexually-depraved artistic chaos that just bled from some of history’s greatest minds as Berlin reached its creative extreme peak. The unfortunate onset of rigid control and conformity that brought Berlin to its fiery end seemed to almost mirror today’s less violent, but equally ignorant censorship and fear of ‘dangerous’ art.”

As a close to his speech, Manson added this: “So stand up dopplegangers, we are on a leave of Absinthe! Our lives are theatre, we are the art and the world will now become the beautifully grotesque stage it was always meant to be. Am I just an innocuous entertainer or am I the destructive force and the terrible reality you’ve suspected all along?

The simple answer is, I am Marilyn Manson.”

It sort of makes sense that Marilyn Manson has chosen to cover Soft Cell's 1982 new wave classic, "Tainted Love," for the upcoming film "Not Another Teen Movie."

A video for the track was shot by Philip Atwell, who has directed clips for Dr. Dre and Eminem. The soundtrack for "Not Another Teen Movie" is in stores NOW.

A remix of Manson's track "Nobodies" is currently featured in the Johnny Depp film "From Hell." Originally, Manson was approached to score the film, but creative differences with the production team nixed the deal, a spokesperson for Manson said. In the end, South African composer Trevor Jones supplied the sparse orchestral score.

Manson's other project of the moment is a live DVD, which was shot October 8, 2001 at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles. The still-untitled DVD is scheduled for release sometime this year, the spokesperson said.

. . . on official BBS Thursday, September 13th we've provided it here for you:


Regarding the United States Terrorist attacks on Tuesday, Marilyn Manson posted two messages on his official site yesterday morning.

We all knew this day would come. My best wishes go out to those families who lost their loved ones. I also have friends in NY and of course here in LA that I am still concerned about. The only thing we can do now is to stick together. If it takes something this terrible to unite us, so be it.

America hasn't always stood by me, but I will surely stand by America. Let's never forget how lucky we are to have so much freedom.

Marilyn Manson




I have always said that I hate so much and love so much about this country. Of course we would love more freedom, but let's not forget what we already
have. And the freedom to live without fear.

When I say for us to unite I mean as like-minded individuals and as friends. I don't expect the country to come together because of this tragedy, but at least we can here.

Everyone is scared and confused and I wish I had more to offer. Right now I have my friends and family to worry about. I hope you all stay safe.

And for those who want to make ignorant comments about my feelings on this, you are entitled to your opinion but you can always take it somewhere else.

Even someone like me can show respect for those killed yesterday and for the people protecting our lives.

I expect the rest of you to as well.

Denver Post Review :
Rocker upstages critics, headliners (full story)


Chicago Daily Herald Denver protest story:
Ozzfest headliner also center stage in protest (full story)

"Ozzfest is Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne's namesake, but Saturday at Alpine Valley, it was Marilyn Manson's show. Manson opened his set by prancing on stage in a helmet adorned with long black feathers. By the third song, "Disposable Teens," Manson had lost the helmet but taken control of the audience. As he waved his microphone stand, made out of a rifle, in the air during one of his mid-show, anti-establishment sermons, the crowd looked to Manson as if he had all the right answers to the world's problems." (full review)
-- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"A lean and hungry Manson - returning to Ozzfest to re-connect with his metal core - was up to the challenge. Taking the stage to "God Bless America," Manson launched into a hard-driving set thick with chugging numbers such as "Beautiful People," "Disposable Teens," "Rock Is Dead," "The Love Song," "Antichrist Superstar" and "The Fight Song." Clad in a leather bustier, long black gloves, fishnets, a g-string and a spiked helmet adorned with a black feathered head-dress, Manson worked the Spartan stage like a twitching serpent - gliding, pausing, jerking and gliding again - during an appropriately bare-knuckled set." (full review)
-- MTV.com

"Manson's last album, "Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)," was a solid glam-rock effort that continued to betray the deepest, darkest secret of the former Brian Warner of Canton, Ohio: Underneath all that makeup and demonic posturing, he's really a pop tunesmith. (Marilyn Manson) strutted about the stage in his corset, fondling himself and his shotgun microphone stand and rising up on a hydraulic lift. But the showmanship never took a back seat to the tuneful crunch as his four-piece band gleefully romped through Satanic singalongs like "The Beautiful People," "Disposable Teens" and his exquisitely evil cover of "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This." (full review)
-- Chicago Sun-Times

"Manson needs to remind large audiences of his charisma, and he nailed that assignment on Tuesday. His hour onstage was a crushing assault on the senses."
-- Indianapolis Star

"By the time Marilyn Manson took the stage around 9 p.m., it was refreshing to hear a band that actually had a body of work larger than one or two albums. Arriving in his old black corset to the strains of "God Bless America," Manson displayed an assortment of his usual tricks (striding around the stage on stilts, ascending a gun-adorned pulpit, dressing up as the Pope), but had the solid catalog of songs to keep things fresh and keep the crowd pumped."

Former high school student, Nicholas J. Boroff was banned from Van Wert High School in Van Wert, Ohio, in August 1997 for wearing a Marilyn Manson T-shirt. On Monday, March 19, 2001, the court, without comment, turned down the Ohio student's argument that school officials could not keep him from wearing T-shirts depicting Manson.

School officials were able to ban the shirts because they were determined to be "vulgar, offensive and contrary to the educational mission of the school," the appeals court said, noting that school officials submitted evidence of the group's "pro-drug persona."

In the appeal acted on Monday, Boroff's lawyers said that while there was evidence that Manson had promoted drug use and Satanism, that did not mean school officials could ban students from wearing his name and picture.

MANSON MASS
Shockingly, the Catholic League has condemned Marilyn Manson's new album, "Holy Wood," which features such titles as "Disposable Teens," "Godeatgod," "Crucifiction in Space" and "The Death Song." Catholic League President William Donohue took particular offense at the Goth rocker donning a bishop's role and a cross in the "Teens" video. "It is Christianity that [Manson] hates, and it is Catholocism that he hates most of all...This guy is at war with Christ," Donohue says, in calling for a boycott of the CD.
In response, Manson had this to say,"I can't possibly be at war with Christ, because your religion killed him and what he stood for. But if you want to be at war with me...bring it on."

The cover of Holy Wood has been banned from Circuit City and Best Buy. These stores will be carrying an alternate album cover. Manson had this to say.
"The irony is that my point of the photo on the album was to show people that the crucifixion of Christ is, in deed, a violent image. In fact, the picture itself is composed of a statue of Jesus taken from a place of worship. My jaw is missing as a symbol of this very kind of censorship. This doesn't piss me off as much as it pleases me, because those offended by my album cover have successfully proven my point."

[posted 11/12/2000 U.S.A.]

The impact of Marilyn Manson's subversive musical agenda has waned, and what's left is a provocative, talented artist writing affecting, powerful, and yes, controversial songs. Although Holy Wood is the third title of a trilogy that began with 1996's Antichrist Superstar, the album stands on its own. Rife with references to the Beatles and the Kennedys, and full of pop-culture barbs, Holy Wood is a musically diverse and powerful statement. The memorable sing-along "Disposable Teens" boasts the same kind of staccato, Teutonic, first-thrusting power introduced with "Beautiful People," while "Fight Song" is the Sex Pistols meets Blur by way of Nirvana. While a futuristic, nihilistic tint pervades Manson's work, passion is also prevalent, notably in the spooky acoustic number "A Place in the Dirt" and the brutal "Death Song." Like Marilyn Manson the man, Holy Wood is intelligent, dynamic, and multifaceted, with myriad charms that are evident to the tuned-in listener.

ROLLING STONE - "You have to respect Manson for addressing real life issues with a theatrical verve and genuine vitriol that no other mainstream act can match."

NME - "By far the best thing Manson has ever set his warped mind to, 'Holy Wood...' ultimately inspires something far more potent than fear or hatred. Respect."

MELODY MAKER - "If your not consumed by its ferocity, you'll be enslaved by the hypnotic, pendulous mantras ("The Lamb of God", "Coma Black", "Valentine's Day")."

REVOLVER - "Holy Wood is the religiously offensive manifesto Manson promised."

FMQB - "Whether or not you care or believe in Manson's idealism, you got to admit, the guy has brass balls and writes some pretty damn good Rock songs."

Marilyn Manson is proud to introduce Maven, the new band from collaborator and long- term inspiration Bon Harris, formerly of Nitzer Ebb. While creating Holy Wood, Bon played an integral role in sequencing, editing, pre-production and the actual creation of the album.

?Bon was someone I respected, even interviewed in ?9 and I was completely blown away by his musical ability and his voice. I was fortunate that he took time away from Maven to work with me because he became a sort of 6th member, and I don? use that term lightly. I think Maven adds genius songwriting to the genre of electronica in a totally original way.?

[posted 9/8/2000 U.S.A.]

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Written in the house where the Rolling Stones lived during the making of Let It Bleed, and recorded at the home of the late magician Harry Houdini, Holy Wood is Manson at the top of his game. "All of us played different instruments during the making of this record," explains the singer. "It's kind of like our White Album. If you listened to three songs, it wouldn't be emblematic of the whole record." "Disposable Teens" is the crunchy cousin of "Beautiful People," "The Fight Song" has an acoustic-guitar part reminiscent of Blur's only U.S. hit, "Song #2," and "Burning Flag" would sound great while driving tanks through Gore and Bush's respective election-night headquarters. "This record is specifically designed for use while being beaten upon or inspiring you to beat upon someone," says Manson. "I'm not saying you should do that--I wanted to beat myself to death after listening to the entire record. If you don't want to hurt anybody after listening to the entire record, I think you can take it back for a refund."

BUZZ-O-METER SAYS: 5
Longtime Mansonites who might have been put off by his neo-glam opus, Mechanical Animals, will be sated by Dave Sardy's production expertise, the disc's sonic breadth and Manson's lyrical seething. We'll let the man have the last word: "The two years since the release of my last album have been filled with God and rappers. It's time for death and Satan to be put in the forefront."

THE THIRD FACE OF MARILYN MANSON
Manson ditches glam for goth on new album
Rolling Stone ? August 17, 2000

With the title ?Holy Wood? (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) and thematic threads weaving connections between Christ and Kennedy, religion and violence, mass media and alienation, is it too much to call Marilyn Manson? almost-finished new opus a concept album?

?It? too little to call it a concept album,? says the lanky lighting rod for controversy, a mischievous sparkle in his eyes shining through dark glasses. Indeed, everything about this project screams ?heavyosity.? For one thing, it was recorded at the Hollywood Hills house once inhabited by magician Harry Houdini. And today, in the mixing studio where Manson and co-producer Dave Sardy are adding final touches, he is clearly going for a spooky ambience: The room is floored with blood-red mood light; there? an automatic rifle poised on the couch and a wolf? head resting atop the recording console.

Manson explains that this album is not a piece unto itself but the glue binding its two predecessors, 1996? Antichrist Superstar and 1998? Mechanical Animals, into what Manson describes as a semiautobiographical ?tryptic,? with an accompanying novel in the works as well. ?This story can be interpreted on a number of levels, but one of the simplest ways,? he says, ?is about a boy who wants to become part of the world that he doesn? feel adequate for, and the bitterness and rage becomes a revolution inside him , and what happens is that the revolution becomes just another product.?

?When he realizes it? too late,? Manson continues, ?his only choice is to destroy the thing he has created, which is himself.?

On such new songs as ?Target Audience,? ?Disposable Teens? and ?Cruci-Fiction in Space,? Manson dismantles the slick, glam-tinged sound of Animals in favor of the more brutal industrial-goth grind of his first album. He knows some will see this as a reaction to Animals?commercial shortcomings. And Manson admits that returning to his old sound was a way to reconnect with ?what a fan of Marilyn Manson wants.?

To Manson, that fits right into the themes of the album cycle. ?Mechanical Animals was to represent the point where the revolution got sold out, a hollow shell of what the essence of Marilyn Manson was,? he says. ?It was a satire, and a lot of people interpreted it as ?is is what he really is.?I was making a mockery of what I was, taking a shot at myself.?

He wasn? the only one taking shots, with the religious right trying to blame him for the Columbine tragedy and Courtney Love abandoning her tour with Manson last year. Manson says all that criticism made him defensive. But with the new album, he says, that? been purged: ?This is me coming out and swinging. Rather than being fucked in the ass (by the critics), I would kick their teeth in. But I want to do it a beautiful way, so that they could still be humming a tune as they held their mouths on the way to the orthodontist.? ? Steve Hochman

Manson's writing on the wall (US Weekly)

We don't think Marilyn Manson will be contributing to Bill Clinton's presidental library anytime soon. At Cafe des Artistes in L.A. recently, the shock rocker walked over to the wall of celebrity signatures, which includes Clinton's, drew a picture of a sperm pointing at Clinton's name and wrote COMMIE in big letters, much to the amusement of his girlfriend, Rose McGowan, and fellow diner Sally Kirkland. The restaurant's management hurriedly erased Manson's graffiti.

Josh Saviano of The Wonder Years(People Magazine)

At age 10, recalls Josh Saviano, "I was all eyes and nose, about 5'1" and so skinny I was blown backward when I walked into the wind. I was just a frail little boy with a lot of personality." The Wonder Years creators wanted Kevin Arnold's nerdy best friend to be asthmatic too. "They kept asking me to wheeze, and I couldn't do it," says Saviano, 24. "But I used to pretend I was sick when I didn't want to go to school and had a good fake sneeze down. When I did it, they went, 'That's it! That's it!' They loved the sneeze." Once cast, Saviano and costar Fred Savage were inseparable. "Josh is much cooler than people gave him credit for," says Savage. The boys shared a passion for Nintendo and baseball cards. "Fred went on The Tonight Show and announced he was a collector," says Saviano. "People started mailing him cards, so he totally beat me." Saviano can claim the most original rumor, though. While at Yale, where he earned a degree in political science in 1998, the Internet began buzzing that he was shock rocker Marilyn Manson. "I'd get 20 e-mails a week, and it still hasn't died!" says Saviano, who is a consultant at an Internet firm until he starts law school, probably in the fall. Although his family and friends, including girlfriend Jennifer, 28, an attorney, know the truth, Saviano isn't concerned about setting cyberspace straight. "What would you rather have, people thinking you're a dorky kid from The Wonder Years or a satanic rock star? It's way cooler for me."

The following is excerpted from Brendan Bernhard's article in LA Weekly titled "Smut Factory: The Corruption of the American Television Critic

THE BEST PARTS OF O'REILLY'S SHOW CAME WHEN he sat down for face-to-face interviews with such media luminaries as Jack Valenti of the Motion Picture Association of America, rap moguls Russell Simmons and Damon Dash, "shock" DJs Opie and Antony, and rage rockers Marilyn Manson and Insane Clown Posse. (Sample lyric from the latter: "I stab old people, old ladies, little kids . . . I don't give a fuck! I stabbed the fat guy in the butt.") Aside from Manson, who at least appeared thoughtful for a guy who named himself after a mass murderer, most of them came off badly. Valenti appeared to have fallen asleep at the wheel about 20 years ago, oblivious to the blare of horns around him. The DJs, with their hackneyed blather about being "artists" and "pushing people's buttons" (a phrase Manson also used), were simply obnoxious. (There should be a moratorium on pushing people's buttons: We're not elevators.) As for Simmons and Dash, when O'Reilly asked them about the effect of the more grotesque rap lyrics on kids whose parents were either too busy or too irresponsible to watch out for them, their immediate response was to cast doubt on whether O'Reilly really "cares" about the lives of black people and to challenge his right to judge the songs in the first place. "Your rigid attitude about what we can do culturally is not, for me, a guideline to what I should do," said Simmons. Evidently, the preferred attitude chez Def Jam is a supine one -- best demonstrated by those ho's so prominently featured in their videos.
