Updated November 30th, 98 - 7:45pm Manson Update About "SPIN" Attack Sonicnet.com is reporting that Executive Editor of SPIN magazine Craig Marks (who claims to be attacked by Manson's bodyguards) will make a statement tomorrow December 1st about the whole situation. Expect the New York Post to have the report as they had the first two. On another note Sonicnet features a quote from Manson's appearance on the Late Show Friday, November 27th of Manson stating he was in jail for the crimes he committed. "They said I was mad, but I wasn't mad," the red-tressed, black-leather-clad Manson told Letterman in reference to the New York Post report of the Poughkeepsie incident. "I looked at the dressing room, and I thought it needed some remodeling," was the only explanation given by the controversial singer. "If you were me and you were in a dressing room, wouldn't you do the same?" Sonicnet talked to Brian Touhey [dispatcher for the Poughkeepsie police] and he said that Marilyn Manson did not spend time in jail there last week. You can read the whole SPIN article here. Rapper Eminem Claims Collaborating with Marilyn Manson Apparently the article I reported yesterday on Eminem and Marilyn Manson collaborating is true! Well, that's what Eminem claims anyway. You can listen to the streaming real audio broadcast here which Eminem explains. This website here also states: Eminem did a cut with Marilyn Manson and may be a possible third single release before the LP drops. I hope to feature some new information on my next update from Interscope about this subject. Thanks a lot to: EnTiTeE.

Updated November 29th, 98 - 9:45pm Manson Collaboration with Rap Artist Eminem? A rap website called hiphopsite.com is reporting a rumor about Marilyn Manson working with another rapper (besides DMX) called "Eminem" on their news website here. Below are a few snippets from their updates: October 16th news: The other new emcee that heads are talking about, Eminem, is slated for a release date in January. A commercial 12-inch for "I Just Don't Give A F*ck" will be released, and following this will be the single for "Guilty Concious" / "My Name Is," and yes, there is a Marilyn Manson / Eminem collaboration coming out, somewhere in between, which will not be on his album, but will most likely be used to introduce Em into the alternative rock audience, (you know how much they love white rappers....) September 25th news: And what about Eminem? No release date yet, but if you need a quick fix, be sure to get a double dose by picking up the Bizarre EP on vinyl or CD, which features him on the track "Trife Thieves", as well as the incredible "365" 12" single from OldWorlDisorder, it's off the heezay.... Also, there is a rumor that resident wierdo Marilyn Manson will be collaborating with Eminem on a track. It's not sure where the track will surface, as this is still a rumor, but remember it's highly probable, as the two are both Interscope artists, both have the initials M & M, and both are sick in the head...... I'll have a confirmation on this subject tomorrow afternoon. Thanks a lot to: justin.

Today was a slow day for news, sorry for the delay. As you know from our November 16th post. The vinyl release of Mechanical Animals hits the streets Tuesday, December 1st. It's a double LP. (so much for the consistent "15" release date)

Updated November 28th, 98 - 4:25am Manson Speaks On The Late Show Last night Marilyn Manson was a guest on the Late Show w/ David Letterman, in fact Manson discussed his recent problems he's been having such as the Poughkeepsie Civic Center and the Sheraton Hotel incident as most of us knew. Those who missed the show last night, you're in luck! We feature the whole 8 minute interview in Real Video format. For those who are interested in downloading the show may do so by clicking here . The file is 6 megs large and is approximately 8 minutes 46 seconds long. Since the video took about 3 hours to encode and upload, I was too tired to capture the stills and upload them as well. I will later this weekend, just as I did for the Manson press conference earlier this week. Pictures of Manson's Trashed Dressing Room The New York Post features Marilyn Manson on the cover of their November 24th paper which can be read here. The Post also features three pictures to show forth the damage Manson left behind, as they left their Poughkeepsi Civic Center dressing room last Saturday night to cause more havoc at their Sheraton Hotel stay. The images that were taken shows a large smashed mirror, a lop-sided table, and if you could pick and chose out of the so many on the floor, the burnt T-shirt that caused the smoke alarm to siren... To view the images that were taken at the dressing room click here. Thanks a lot to: crystal for mailing me the news paper.

It's been a long, busy week for Manson... Arson, Threats, Jail, Guests On Tv... what next!?

Updated November 27th, 98 - 3:30pm Manson Speaks About "SPIN" Attack Manson speaks about the Craig Marks incident on his news website here. I had a conversation with Craig Marks expressing I was tired of Spin's immature business behavior and the series of deals they had broken with me. I told him that I didn't care what he prints or weather or not I'm on the cover. I simply no longer wanted to work with him or his magazine that obviously has a lack of respect for musicians and their fans. Marilyn Manson is currently traveling to Lisbon, Portugal to begin their European tour. Note that Rob Zombie will not be on the Madrid or Barcelona dates as previously scheduled.

I'll have some news later today, this was at the last minute.

Updated November 26th, 98 - 3:15pm Manson Attacked To Be On Cover Of Spin Magazine With yesterday's recent report about Manson's bodyguards lifting Craig Marks [editor of Spin magazine] by his jugular (with his feet totally suspended from the ground) while the second bodyguard pushing his hand into his own chest. Manson warns Marks, "I can kill you! I can kill your family. I can kill everyone you know!" A full report has been released from the New York Post today. Marks, executive editor of the popular rock 'n' roll mag, swore out a criminal complaint against Manson and his bodyguards at the Midtown South station house yesterday. Detectives said they plan to quiz Manson and his handlers about the incident, which Marks said occurred at 11 p.m. Monday after Manson's sold-out show at the Hammerstein Ballroom on West 34th Street. Calls to Manson's publicist and his record company, Nothing Records, were not returned. Marks said that after the show, he was invited by Manson publicist Jenny Boddy to meet the rock wild man. Marks said Manson's manager, Tony Ciulla, and John Malm, president of Nothing Records, joined them as they walked backstage to the star's dressing room. "They told me Marilyn was upset because he had wanted [to appear on] the cover of Spin's January issue," Marks said. "That had been the original plan, but we felt his record wasn't performing that well so we made alternative plans by doing a group cover which included smaller pictures of Manson and other artists. "We walked in and I put out my hand and Marilyn put out his and we shook hands. He said: 'So, what's the deal?' "I said, 'I'm not sure what you're referring to. Then he strolled away a little bit, yelled for everybody to be quiet and told me: 'I can kill you! I can kill your family! I can kill everyone you know.'" Seconds later, Marks said, two of Manson's beefy bodyguards charged him and shoved him against a wall, pulling him off the ground by his neck. "My air supply was cut off and I couldn't breathe. One of them screamed: 'From now on, when you deal with Marilyn Manson, you're dealing with us!'" said Marks, who stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 160 pounds. "The publicist yelled for them to put me down and they let me go after six or sevenseconds. "Then Marilyn said to me:: 'That will teach you to disrespect me! You have to learn to respect me!' I turned around and got out of there." Marks believes the attack was planned and was the "end result of a pampered, spoiled ego that couldn't quite deal with the fact that he wasn't getting his way." Thanks a lot to: john. Random Nothing Notes Report in English rock magazine Kerrang states that 3 Colours Red (an english rock band) will be supporting Marylin manson at the forthcoming UK concert at Brixton (December 17th) Thanks to: paul. New Zealand band "Head Like A Hole" are changing their name to HLAH (h-lah) so they are not associated with the Nine Inch Nails song Head Like A Hole. Interesting and a bit amusing that they are changing after a 10 plus year career known as Head like a hole... Thanks a lot to: emma. Manson Speaks of Arson Incident On Extra! Last night a TV news program called EXTRA! (On ABC) ran a 45 second report about the incident that took place at Manson's dressing room at the Poughkeepsie Civic Center, Saturday November 23rd. The report features scenes from Manson's Tourniquet video, MTV MVA, the recent HMV signing (Toronto Canada) as well as the press conference which Manson discusses the issue briefly. "Lighter fluid is a bad idea to put in a dressing room; you're just asking for trouble. I felt it was necessary to set it on fire, like most dressing rooms should be. There were no M&M's." Those who are interested in downloading the quick interview, you may do so by clicking here using your Real Video player. The file is 580k and is in its highest quality. We also feature 18 scenes from the interview which you can view and download on our Manson website here.

Happy Turkey Day America!

Updated November 25th, 98 - 10:36pm Manson On Extra! Those who missed the showing of "Extra" today on ABC can watch it a second time around midnight tonight. (Check local listings) Manson is featured on there saying, "Lighter fluid is a bad idea to put in a dressing room. You're just asking for trouble. I felt it was necessary to set it on fire; like most dressing rooms should be." about the Saturday incident. I'll have video and stills immediately following the showing. Thanks a lot to: marilyn-manson.net news for the quote. Lots of Manson Updates I can't give out any information about what happened recently with Manson's bodyguards. But things are in preparation and Interscope is looking into this matter very carefully. This news story broke just hours ago and you will hear a lot more of this as the days progress. Interscope tells me that Marilyn Manson is in the process of taping the Late Show w/ David Letterman. It will air on Friday, as you all know. If anything interesting happens tonight after the taping, I'll have the report here. Besides the fact he will talk about what really went on Saturday night. I talked to Interscope about the interview I found earlier this morning of Manson producing the soundtrack to "Jawbreaker" which he makes a quick cameo in by the way. They told me that Manson was offered to produce the soundtrack, but declined because of is production with Mechanical Animals. I'm told he has contributed a few things. At this moment... I do not know what they are... And interesting article is featured in Allstarmag.com's November 25th update... I'll let you do the reading... Hole opening for Alanis Morissette? Say it ain't so, but it just might be. Courtney Love, Melissa Auf de Maur, and Eric Erlandson paid a visit to KROQ's Kevin and Bean morning show in Los Angeles on Wednesday (Nov. 25) when Love said the band is torn between the two tours they're up for: Morissette and Marilyn Manson. While the latter would make much more sense musically, Love is a bit concerned that it's not "Frances friendly," referring of course to her daughter, Frances Bean, and to Manson's notorious rock and roll ways. "We toured with them once and they are a bad influence," said Love. To read the rest of the article, please click here. Manson Bodygaurds Spring Into Action Not only is Manson causing problems, so is his bodyguard! It just so happens that the executive editor of Spin magazine said Wednesday he was assaulted by bodyguards for Marilyn Manson after the shock rocker threatened him. Craig Marks [editor of Spin magazine] said he was invited backstage Monday night to talk with Manson after he performed at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, November 23rd. Manson said, "You know I can kill you, your family and everyone you know." Then following, Marks told Associative Press "Right after he said that, I was grabbed and shoved up against the wall by my neck." Manson's publicists -- Jenny Boddy in New York and Lorie Earl in Los Angeles -- did not return telephone calls seeking comment. Marks, who was treated at a hospital for bruises, talked with detectives Wednesday about the incident and provided them with a photo of the bodyguards taken at another event. Marks said he did not know why Manson was angry at him or the magazine. Spin has run several articles on Manson and has featured him on the cover alongwith excerpts from his book. The alleged assault happened eight days after police say Blaze magazine editor in chief Jesse Washington was beaten by four men in his New York office. Two men, including a rap producer, have been arrested and charged in thatincident. I've spoken to Interscope Records about this new problem at hand and I'll feature some new information hopefully soon. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so maybe Friday I'll have something to add.... This has been a very bad week for Manson... hopefully Friday, he can clear things up. Thanks a lot to: BMoss81573. Better Late Than Never - NIN News The new Alternative Press (AP) magazine features a large article in their January, '99 issue, called "The 25 Most Anticipated Albums of 1999" and Nine Inch Nails is listed (number coming soon) out of 25. AP had chance to get a hold of Trent Reznor recently and Trent informs us about his "writers block" and how he believes that things are on a steady pace, thankfully! Other news, the Alternative Press issue also features the "ninteynine" print ad that was first spotted in the November/ December issue of [men magazine] GEAR featuring Emma Bunton of the Spice Girls on the cover. [click here for picture] NINE INCH NAILS WORKING ALBUM TITLE: The Fragile PROJECTED RELEASE DATE: Early 1999, on Nothing/Interscope WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?: According to Trent Reznor, the reason for the delay is simple: He didn't know if he wanted to continue. "I had to rediscover my passion for wanting to make music," he says. "A lot of the other shit started to take the shine off it -- the celebrity aspect, the constant competitive backbiting. I've seen that with close friends. For a while it just didn't seem as appealing to get back in that arena. Not from an 'I'm afraid to do it' point of view but more from an 'It's not as fun as it used to be' [perspective]. But I think I've got my head turnedback around." WHAT'S IT SOUND LIKE NOW?: The double album Reznor plans to release picks up thematically from "Hurt", the sliver of optimism that closes 1994's "The Downward Spiral". According to Reznor, that song was about a "sense of remorse and awakening, and looking back feeling that it's not all to blame on others--- growing up a little bit about things." Musically, the maturation process included a lot of trial and error. "I tried to write the new record from a different perspective, trying to write things that are simpler --- maybe you could play it on a piano and sing it --- which I've never tried to do. And I tried and failed...Everything started to sound like a Billy Joel song and shit that made me want to kill myself and make sure all the tapes were well destroyed before I offed myself," he says, laughing. Instead of snuffing himself, Reznor worked at recapturing the "spirit of reinvention" he felt while making "The Downward Spiral". Now that the spirit's moving him again, he's getting back to what he does best: being different. "I don't think any artist wants to look at their own life or career and think, 'Well, I really can only do this one thing good, so fuck it, I'll just do that.' I'm sure people actually do that, but I don't want to think I'm one of those people. I aspire to be a David Bowie, some sort of enigma that isn't a one-trick pony." Those who have this issue and have a scanner, please submit the article so I can feature it as well... Thanks a lot to: ashlee for the transcript. Manson Joining Lollapalooza In Limbo Sonicnet.com features a new article about what the plans are for Lollapalooza '99. Sadly so far, things aren't looking so hot for Lollapalooza. Bands such as Bush and Radiohead have turned down the offer and maybe others will begin to do just the same. Just as Allstar magazine reported here on November 23rd. Sonicnet features similar information that Ted Gardner [tour co-founder] explain that ongoing discussions with Manson's management and tour agent are limbo. Lollapalooza organizers had been in discussions with the high-profile, multi-platinum shock rocker about playing the main stage on last summer's aborted tour, a prospect the ghoulish Manson passed over to finish work on his namesake band's recently released album, Mechanical Animals. To read the full article on Sonicnet which speaks more of Marilyn Manson, click here. Manson Producing Jawbreaker Soundtrack We all know that Marilyn Manson is to make a cameo appearance as a sleazy guy in a bar who picks up a girl and takes her home, (thanks to Allstarmag.com) but are you aware that Manson is to be producing the soundtrack? In fact Manson was originally going to score the soundtrack as well! Apparently there is an interview online here at the ebolamusic.com website that features news on music for films, animation and multimedia. The interview talks about a 23-year-old artist named Ego Plum who submitted a demo to director Darren Stein of "Jawbreaker" about scoring the film for him and Stein brought up Manson. Mimi: Ooookay. So what's new with your film scoring work? > Transfer interrupted! an independent film called "THE JOLLY MAN" which so far is sounding very different from the music I wrote on Anthology of Infection, Vol. 1 - the score is more orchestral and somewhat Twilight Zone-ish. Also, a few weeks back I met with director Darren Stein about possibly scoring his film, JAWBREAKER (starring Rose McGowan). He was worried about my ability to actually score his film when I admitted that I had not scored a "real" feature before. Then he mentioned that MARILYN MANSON was producing the soundtrack and that Mr. Manson was originally going to score the film to which I replied, "Oh, has Marilyn scored a feature before?" to which Darren replied, "uh... no." he he. I am still waiting to hear what the production thought of my demos... Mimi: Fascinating. Plum: Yes, it is. I'm working on getting some more information about this subject from Interscope. I hope to have it by the end of the day. The movie is due to release late January or early February, reports Allstarmag.com. Manson Gets Lucky - No Charges Filed The big talk this week, well the past two days has been about the small camp fire that Manson started backstage in his dressing room and the quick 4 room post party smash they threw at the Sheraton hotel on November 21, '98. Finally, Sonicnet.com features a little more news pertaining to this ever-so growing media event Marilyn Manson caused last Saturday night. Such as information about what happened backstage and the aftermath of what the police and fire department had to say pertaining to the subject. No charges were filed because Forbes said it was difficult to determine who in the band had set the shirt ablaze. He added that the guilty party or parties, had they been fingered, likely would have faced either arson or reckless endangerment charges. Forbes had no estimate on the amount of damage caused by the blaze. You can read the full report here. By the way, Marilyn Manson's "Mechanical Animals" recently broke the gold sales mark (500,000 units) after two months in release, reports Sonicnet.com. Again, make sure you tune in on Friday, November 27th. To watch Marilyn Manson discuss the whole incident on the Late Show w/ David Letterman. Random Notes Expect Nine Inch Nails to definitely make a mark on MTV's Top 25 [Bands] of the Decade, which will be live to both coasts on Saturday, November 28th, 3 pm. (ET) / 12 pm. (PT). MTV VJ, Jesse Camp, will host it. (Hey man, write me!) Those who are interested, a large documentry of Manson's best interviews will be broadcasted on Much Music tomorrow. Marilyn Manson is having a "Spotlight" on November 26. It's a program on much music which will highlight all of his best interviews and play all of his videos. It is totally worth watching. Thanks a lot to: Bizzare. Nine Inch Nails' "wish" is playing on ESPN... Yesterday while I was flipping through the channels, I heard Wish on ESPN. I went back to the station and the video for Wish was playing. It was on some show called "X-In Concert" (the show started at 3:30). It had rollerbladers and stuff mixed in with the video, but it was pretty cool. They were interviewing Sprung Monkey on the show. Thanks to: jake and kevin.

Updated November 24th, 98 - 9:00pm Manson Will Make A Statement On National Television One more note for the books. Interscope informed me that Marilyn Manson will discuss the entire incident from the Poughkeepsie Civic Center and the Sheraton Hotel on the Late Show w/ David Letterman this Friday, November 27th. It's going to be a popular night, Friday! We'll have video and stills of this entire event. Price Check On Manson Damages It seems the estimated value of damages that Marilyn Manson caused on Saturday were overly exaggerated by the New York Post. Here's a snippet from the article: The Sheraton still has not tallied the tab for repairs, but one insider--apparently familiar with Manson's antics--put the total cost to the hotel and Civic Center at more than $25,000. Obviously, that certain someone pulled a number out of his/her ass and fed it to the media to feast upon... Tony Ciulla [ Manson's Manager ] spoke up on this matter to Rollingstone magazine and this is what he had to say: Manson manager Tony Ciulla, however, disputes the dollar amount. "Once again, when it comes to Marilyn Manson, the media have taken a story and given it a life of its own. The reality was, there was damage to a phone. The total damage they were charged for was under $1,000, and that was inflated hotel prices." Ciulla didn't have a figure for the dressing room damage, but stressed the reported damage there was exaggerated, too. Neither the hotel or the Civic Center management could be reached by press time..." That above is a direct quote from Tony, which in fact Marilyn Manson has offered to pay for all of the damages, caused to the band's hotel rooms that Saturday night. If any further information becomes available, Interscope will be helping us out with the details. Discussions of Marilyn Manson Headlining Lollapalooza '99 Allstarmag.com features a snippet of information concerning Manson headlining Lollapalooza '99. Word has it that Lollapalooza (yes, it's slated to return next year) is having discussions with Marilyn Manson regarding the headlining slot. Only thing is, it seems some are worried that with the declining album sales of Mechanical Animals, that Manson might not be able to headline on their own. [ Read the rest click here. ] Sonicnet.com also ran a large article on this subject "Lollapalooza '99" on October 27th here. Below are a few snippets.... But Gardner [ tour co-founder Ted Gardner ] says the festival is close to sealing a deal for a big-name act to fill its anchor slot next year and will make an official announcement on the lineup by next week. [ Which Sonicnet are still working on. ] He wouldn't reveal names of possible headliners, however, saying only that he and representatives of the William Morris talent agency were talking to "a few artists," one a major act. Gardner did say the musicians in question hadn't played the festival before, and that he believed one had just released an album and that another had a new record coming out soon. Among the artists who turned down the lead spot for 1998 were shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, pop-punks Green Day and art-rock outfit Garbage, who cited prior recording commitments and tours. I'm still working on getting an answer from Interscope, in the next few days on their thoughts about Manson's declining album sales of Mechanical Animals. Reminder to those, expect NIN to tour following their spring '99 release. Who knows... they could be on the Lollapalooza line up. Manson Raises Hell - Destroying Sheraton Hotel/ Backstage It appears that Manson enjoyed his stay at the Sheraton Hotel and their backstage dressing room at the Poughkeepsie Civic Center in upstate New York (last Saturday night) a little too much that they literally destroyed them, causing (a source from the New York Post) 25,000 dollars in damages. Manson is back! Wallofsound.com features the full report here. I'm working on getting some answers, later today from Interscope...

Updated November 23rd, 98 - 7:25pm Manson Video "I Don't Like The Drugs..." Debut Date A Marilyn Manson news website MSL and I have been discussing the date for the premiere of Marilyn Manson's "I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)" video. I've been waiting for a confirmation from Interscope, which I've received just a little while ago. The debut of the new video will be on Friday, December 4th, '98 on MTV. Expect the video to premiere 11am and be in heavy rotation through 3pm - 6pm. I'll have the official time soon, but the times listed may possibly be correct. Although Dave Navarro is credited for playing on "I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)" he won't be in the new video. More news as it comes in. On another note, some have been speculating that Manson will be performing on "The Late Show w/ David Lettermen" this Friday, November 27th. Marilyn Manson will not be performing; it's just a quick 5-7 minute interview of just Marilyn Manson. (Same as last years)

Updated November 22nd, 98 - 3:15am NIN Hammer Out Over 20 Songs Here is a new nin article snippet from the latest SPIN magazine... Nothing trully special that we haven't learned from Mtv or Raygun Magazine before except that Spin's article has a confirmation for a spring release. Here's the latest on the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Nine Inch Nail's milestone The Downward Spiral (the news is unofficial, of course, as the secrecy of the project is fiercely protected by fishnet-glove-wearing hellhounds). No official title or release date yet (although rumors persist that Trent Reznor will call the album The Fragile). We can tell you some of the musicians who've pitched in. According to our sources, former King Crimson guitarist (and Bowie/Talking Heads collaborator), Adrian Belew, is contributed guitar work and former Helmet drummer John Stanier added drum loops and samples. We hear that Reznor has written lyrics to over 20 new songs, fortifying the rumor that the disc will be double-length. Expect a good number of instrumental tracks as well. The release is slated for the first half of next year (likely March or April). We'll keep you posted. I'm told there was a Einsturzende Neubauten snippet about their tours and a cut up article that Allstarmag.com reported way back when on Manson starring in the new Rose McGowan movie due out early'99 called "Jawbreaker." (click here for my information from Allstarmag.com) Thanks a lot to: NINsect66. Manson 1515 Video Report Online Here you all go.. as promised the real video of the Mtv News 1515 special about Manson's State Theater performance in Detroit from last Monday November, 16th '98. You can watch the 2.2 meg Real Video file her e. Those who don't have real video, you can pick up your own copy here. I'll get to the stills of the short interview in the next few days and will be plugging them into our Manson graphic section first. Those who are interested in taping the show on mtv, tune in today at 10:30am and Monday at 7:00am. BTW, if you wait till the very end where they role the credits. Mtv features about a minute of extra footage of Marilyn Manson playing "The Dope Show." Domestic Release of The Bowling Green Next Week I'm told that the first domestic release of The Bowling Green is scheduled for Tuesday... I'm looking into this, chances are this is a fact... The first domestic release by The Bowling Green is scheduled for Tuesday. It'scalled "One Pound Note" and it will feature the track from Nothing Changes, "Think What You're Doing" and "The Road is a Grey Ribbon." It's probably going to be hard to find at first though, as were the albums from Autechre, Plaid and Squarepusher, released about a month ago. But yeah, give it about a week or 2 for some stores, because just today was when I could buy Plaid at Tower Records. BTW: Go see "Enemy Of The State", kick ass movie. Thanks a lot to: Ebv5. Manson Site "Such A Dirty Rock Star" Closes For A Month Here's a plug for a friend of mine's kick ass Manson site... BTW, John will be moving to US to help out on Mtv... Just a short note to let you know that both the Happiness In Slavery web-site and Such A Dirty Rock Star are CLOSED until January 10 when the NEW incarnations will be released to the web. The face-lifts are necessary and will be some of the finest sites on both Trent and Marilyn ever on the web. (some thought they were that already, but I refuse to sit on my laurels). Thanks to: john.

I'll have a confirmation on the manson video debut sometime on Monday...

Manson Speaks More of Trent Here's another report, just like what Allstarmag.com reported on November 19th. On Chicago's last "Rock" station, Q101, James Van Ostel stated today that they talked to Marilyn yesterday and he said that he and Trent have not talked since LAST YEAR. And said that he believes that Trent is jealous due to his band getting more media attention that his Nine Inch Nails. Q101 did not mention Marilyn stating anything about being friends again, but they did side with Trent saying that Marilyn's publicity may be more than NIN's since Marilyn just released MechanicalAnimals and Trent hasn't put out an alum since 1994. Thanks a lot to: phil. Stage Change For Manson Mid-Dec. Gig I just wanted to inform you that the Marilyn Manson gig on Dec. 16 has been moved to another venue, most likely for reasons of space. The new venue is called the "Palladium" and is right down the street from E-Werk (literally-- E-Werk is street No. 37 and Palladium is street No. 40). Doors open at 7 PM, and the show is scheduled to begin at 8 PM. Thanks a lot to: Omri.

Updated November 19th, 98 - 12:00am Psycho Trailer (NIN) Tidbit This discussion is pretty old- dates back since Sept 10th, when the trailer was first seen. I'm including it because it's a big tidbit and I thought it would be interesting to some, the pictures should help out with the all the questions that people have been asking me. During the new/old Psycho trailer, which you can download here. There is a women that resembles a scene off the Nine Inch Nails "Closer" video. I thought I'd mention some facts, indicating it's only a replica. The major differences on the psycho clip are... There is no crucifix featured on the blind fold, the background is black. There is a dark shadow covering her face (of what you can see)... She's wearing a smaller blind fold (which you can see her nose); she has a much nicer body (no nudity seen). As you can see, the Closer girl from the video is showing more of her body (nudity, butt shot). She's looking strait at you... She is bald, features a background, she's chubbier than the psycho clip, etc, etc. It's not the same person as you can see. I believe Universal Pictures got the idea from Closer-, which I'm still trying to confirm. Thanks a lot to: xott for the graphics. Manson Is Willing To Be Friends Allstarmag.com features a short but-to-the-point interview with Manson that explains his thoughts towards his friendship with Trent Reznor. This took place on Tuesday, November 17th at a press conference at an HMV store in Toronto, Canada. Here are a few snippets from the article... When asked about longstanding rumors that the two have had personal differences, Manson replied quite honestly, "I'd go beyond that and say they're not rumors. To be honest with you, I haven't talked to him since Antichrist Superstar, so I don't know what our relationship is. I don't have any hard feelings towards him, and I'm interested to see what he's doing now, if he's going to put out another album. The Downward Spiral came out the same time our first album did. My door is always open, but I haven't talked to him. I think if we were to get back together we'd be very close, but it's difficult. "I would say if I had taken someone under my wing and they had gotten to a point where they were no longer under me or working with me," he continued, "it would probably amount to an uncomfortable situation, and it's probably hard for him to deal with Marilyn Manson becoming -- in some cases -- a bigger level than Nine Inch Nails. To read the rest of the article, please click here. Thanks a lot to: Roger. Manson On MuchMusic Transcribed (Video Coming Soon) As you know Manson was on MuchMusic on November 17th, which he gave a pretty large interview. Thanks to a viewer we have the entire interview transcribed for those who missed it. (Excuse the caps on the transcript by the way) He should be sending the video of the interview today or tomorrow.

Updated November 17th, 98 - 10:50pm Chicago Tribune Interviews Manson There is a new interview with Manson, this time it comes from the Chicago Tribune Here are a few snippets of the article which you can read in full, here... I think it would be almost pretentious of me to cut back on the imagery. In fact, the image of the band will probably just intensify and things will become even more grandiose as we go along. It's part of living in Hollywood -- it makes you more theatrical. I used to be called "crazy" when I didn't have any money. Now that I do, I'm "eccentric." But I think the music is definitely going to be there to back it up. Thanks a lot to: BMoss81573.

Updated November 15th, 98 - 10:30pm NIN TidBits... Here is the video of the nin tidbit in the movie 'Small Soldiers' that we reported on jully 11th. In the new movie "Small Soldiers," there is a scene where the toy commandos are shooting at two people (the film's main character and his father) with a nailgun. As the people struggle to avoid the the barrage of nails, the little toy commando shouts "what's the matter, don't you like Nine Inch Nails?" and laughs. (this scene occurs shortly after one in which the commandos, having trapped their human victims in a house, blast spice girls music repeatedly as loud as they can in what is described as "psychological warfare." ha ha.) For those who are interested in downloading this real video snippet click here. The following story was on our local radio station 107.1 WPGU. "Is Nothing Records, Nothing? Trent Reznor was recently spotted with a short hairdo at a Concert in New York ... Trent is still soposedly working on a new record ... due to all the mixing of labels and so forth, Nothing Records may actually turn out to be nothing at all." Thanks to: josh. The Amazing Mr. Lifto, who tours with the Jim Rose Sideshow Circus, is going to be on the Guinness World Records television show on the FOX network this Tuesday November 17th at 9 p.m. pacific. As you know the Jim Rose Sideshow Circus toured with Nine Inch Nails on the Self Destruct tour back in '94. Thanks to: nailhead. Manson Interview Here are some important snippets from the Marilyn Manson interview from the Toronto Sun news paper... Manson is more than qualified to make that remark, given his own startling new look. The cover of his glam-influenced latest album, Mechanical Animals, features the singer as an alien-like persona named Omega with prosthetic female breasts, an androgynous cod piece and an additional finger on each hand. "The image was really just to represent the way that I felt when writing the record," says Manson. "Very undefinable. Very vulnerable. Very fragile." And the fact that Manson's new persona comes just as glam is making a comeback, most notably in the movie, Velvet Goldmine, which opens tomorrow, is just coincidence? "Glam rock has always been an element of what I do," insists Manson, who plans to make a rock opera movie next year based on the music from Mechanical Animals. "I think this time it's just more referential to '70s glam rock. I've always been over the top -- in my clothing and in my makeup -- so I mean it's nothing new to me." Manson's new look led the Wal-Mart chain of stores to ban Mechanical Animals from its shelves. But he's used to fighting battles. "They refused to carry it, yeah, but I don't think they carried our last album either," says Manson. "And to be honest with you I don't think Wal-Mart's a place where people should buy music anyway. Kids go to record stores. (Wal- Mart)'s like a place where people that live in trailer parks go to buy their toiletries." Manson also says the ban hasn't hurt sales of Mechanical Animals, which has gone platinum in Canada (over 100,000 copies) and the U.S. (over one million copies). As for his new stage show, it expands upon some of the themes of his previous, wildly theatrical live presentation. "Black girls -- that's something I didn't have last time," says Manson with a laugh. "I think this show is a lot more sexual in nature." Lest we forget, Manson's last North American concert tour in support of the satanic-themed Antichrist Superstar was dogged by over-the-top false rumours of drug dealing, animal sacrifice and sex with sheep. The religious right in the U.S. ran him out of as many towns as they could, which was not many, while on this side of the border Calgary officials got his show cancelled. In the end, it all turned out to be much ado about nothing -- unless you find ear- splitting volume offensive. "This time they're just making broad generalizations, just saying that it's morally offensive to the community," says Manson, who has so far not been shut down. "They're not trying to make it into the claims that they tried to last time." Manson's 1998 autobiograpy, The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell, detailed some disturbing drug-and-sex fueled backstage activities during the Antichrist Superstar tour. The current road trip is more of the same. "It's kind of like deja vu," reports Manson. "Things are always the same. I just have a different level of control. The things that surround me are still the same. I just think emotionally I'm not as detached as I was before." So will there be another book? "Yeah, I'm going to write some fiction," says Manson. How about more about your life? "That's fiction," he says in his deadpan voice. Thanks a lot to: BMoss81573.

This is practically all the news worthy information that I have at this point...

Updated November 13th, 98 - 3:45pm Tapeworm Still On - New News On NIN Album At Mtv.com Mtv News had a talk with Helmet guitarist, Page Hamilton who contributed two days of work to help on the album with programming drums and loops, has a lot to say about the new album... Though there is still no official word about when fans might expect to see (and hear) the next Nine Inch Nails album, Helmet guitarist Page Hamilton says that the group's sound has defiantly progressed during the recording for the upcoming double disc set. Hamilton, who contributed two days of work on the project on programming drums and loops, says that the music he's heard so far ranges from big guitars and ambient synth to tribal drum and bass and more melodic songs. The guitarist mentioned that some of the new material reminds him of the '60s British group the Yardbirds, all while remaining uniquely Nine Inch Nails-ish via some "brilliant sound manipulations." Hamilton also said that group mastermind Trent Reznor has written lyrics for 20 to 22 songs, though there will be instrumental tracks on the album as well. Hamilton believes that it's taken so long for NIN to finish the album because Reznor is trying to get away from their trademark "Head Like A Hole" sound, and has scrapped a lot of material he originally recorded. Nine Inch Nails have been working on the project for about two years and it is speculated that the work is finally close to completion. The album is expected to be out sometime next year with a tour to follow. Also still in the works after almost four years is the Nine Inch Nails side-project Tapeworm. Hamilton also contributed, as both a singer and a guitarist, about four songs to this project and says that Phil Anselmo from Pantera is singing on a track as well. As of the moment, Nine Inch Nails members Charlie Clouser and Danny Lohner are said to be the driving forces behind Tapeworm, which may or may not ever see the light of day, as there is still no word yet on if, when, or how this project will ever be released. So Tapeworm is still on after all... and we can count on the album still to be a double album... Thanks a lot to: U5ELE55, PD, sekretboi and dave.

Updated November 6th, 98 - 4:20pm MBM Article In New Pulse Issue Featured in the November PULSE! issue on page 52, excerpt from article entitled "The Swing of Things To Come": "Arriving from the opposite trajectory, Jack Dangers wanted to inject some jazz into his band MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO. So he rented two of his favorite musicians, reed player Bennie Maupin and synthesizer player Pat Gleeson. The results appear on a tune called "The Thumb" on MBM's new album, Actual Sounds and Voices (Nothing), a tensile bonding of industrial rock and jazz fusion. Elsewhere on the record Dangers sings, "Beamed from the Hole-Bopp trhough to0 the bebop. Do you know what I mean?/Triggered by a laser beam, listening to a A Love Supreme." "All this music's improvised," says Dangers, whose favorite jazz includes the work of George Russell and electric-era Miles Davis. "You turn a computer on {but} it's not going to do anything for you. The way this music starts, it's not up here"--he points to his head--"not, Oh, I'll write something down. You slam a beat in, get it going, {add a} bass line, loop it up, whether it's in a computer or a sample or on a hard drive. If there was a tape machine which did all that, people would have used that 20 years ago." Thanks to: crystal.

The Beautiful people It's a limited edition, so once there gone they are gone. If you see this disc listed on our Weathermen Records website, it means that they are currently in stock, available for order. You can order the Asian double disc at Weathermen Records for $21.99 We currently hold 150 copies of the disc. We hope to carry more later, if the need is great! The image on the right is a scan of what the second disc which features the three videos look like. Thanks a lot to: Weathermen Records. Trent Reznor Credited Crew Member As Pilot In Summer Movie?? Have you seen the new movie RONIN that recently came out in theaters weeks back!? Well if you haven't, like my self.. A movie website here links Trent Reznor as credited support for an "airplane pilot". I'm told that means, he wasn't in the film. Exact Words: Amanda Mackey Johnson.... casting Trent Reznor.... airplane pilot Patrick Ronchin.... car stunt technical co-ordinator Oddly enough, even their discography listed on their site here, lists Trent as this... Miscellaneous crew filmography 1.Ronin (1998) (airplane pilot) hmmm... I wonder what he was thinking!? Anyways... I'll see if I can dig up some more information on this... New Nothing Record News Here's a quick fix on yesterday's report that I had up on Squarepusher. Somethings got a little jumbled so I had a source of mine look into some details... The Warp releases are on Nothing Records. The Warp/Nothing releases are being distributed by Caroline Distribution. Trent Reznor is a huge fan of Warp Records. He approached them and offered to put out their new releases (Plaid, Autechre, Squarepusher) on Nothing Records. All of these releases will have both the Warp and Nothing imprints. The new Plaid album, along with Autechre's new album and an EP compilation from Squarepusher, shipped from Caroline. Some stores will have stock already. If your local store doesn't have them yet, ask them to special order from Caroline. Squarepusher's new album will be shipping in a week or two. Regarding the distribution by Caroline and not Interscope, here's what Caroline told me via e-mail: "Yes, Caroline will be distributing Nothing Records. The first set of releases will be out 10/06/98: Autechre, Plaid, and Squarepusher. Squarepusher will be releasing their new CD "Music is Rotted One Note" on 11/20/98. Here's the deal on Nothing/Warp, Nothing didn't want their secondary releases to be overshadowed by the Interscope Records machine so they decided it was in their best interest to put these records through a secondary distributor, Caroline Records. Nothing will be pretty busy in 1999 so keep an eye out for future releases." I'm sure that last sentence is referenceing nin no doubt...

I'll have more news later tomorrow.

Manson apparently missed a step while trying to exit the stage just prior to the concert's first scheduled encore. According to one concert-goer, paramedics and a stretcher were brought in for the fallen singer, who lay immobile for some 10 minutes. The show's promoter confirms that Manson lay on the backstage floor for a few minutes, but then got up under his own power and walked himself back to the venue's dressing rooms. Though Manson appeared fine after the incident, and did not request medical attention at the time, the rest of the concert was subsequently abandoned.

I'm told that a source at conduits (who is in development for the nothingrecords.com website) says that the Nine Inch Nails sub page at the official Nothing Records website (meaning the NIN section of the site) will be located at nineinchnails.com. As of today this is unconfirmed, because we were unable to get an official statement to follow this report up. The nin website address has been registerd to the "Nine Inch Nails Fan Club" which is run out of Las Vegas, Nevada. At the moment the NIN fan club website is unactive, but they do hold the title to the domain name. Expect more news on NIN and the new album following the next few weeks/months... Keith at Smashed Up Sanity was told this by their conduits source. Online Website Contest For NR Gear The webmaster over at Samshed Up Sanity is featuring another large contest.
