The Stool Pigeon features Marilyn Manson - June 25th 2009

The Stool Pigeon has posted an interview they recently conducted with Marilyn Manson. Although some of their blurb seems unsympathetic to Manson, his answers make this a very enjoyable article to read.

MARILYN MANSON promised us champagne and caviar, but now he’s only capable of delivering cola and crisps. To JOHN DORAN, he’s become little more than the God Of Fucking About.

Today the God Of Fuck is merely the Petty Officer Of Fucking About; the Local Ombudsman Of Mildly Irritating Behaviour. He’s locked in his suitably grand room at a Park Lane hotel with plenty of absinthe and ‘a young lady friend’. A wide-eyed reporter from a London free title eventually comes down the stairs declaring him to be “leathered”; saying that the lanky industro-goth was striding round his room with the girl tossed over his shoulder chatting bare nonsense. Seasoned veterans of idiotic American rock star behaviour, we pack up and go home leaving a business-like but inexperienced guy from the BBC alone in the foyer waiting dutifully for an interview. Predictably, his copy, when it appears online a few days later, is a riot of non-sequiturs; a throbbing psychedelic grotto of drunken nonsense. It isn’t the poor hack’s fault. Simply, the God Of Fucking Can’t Be Arsed. He’s become the Bursar Of Talent Seepage; the Heir Of Nothing In Particular.

A few days later, he blows out the rearranged Stool Pigeon interview as well, and not only has he sacked us off, he hasn’t even turned up to his pre-tour rehearsals in Germany. “No one knows where he is,” says his PR guy. The world tour starts in 48 hours.
