wenn das mit der promo weiter so läuft verkauft manson (völlig zu recht) so wenig alben wie nie zuvor. unglaublich, ich will nicht wissen was für stümper da am werk sind. wenn diese verweigerungshaltung auf mansons mist wächst, okay, selbst schuld. andere bands stellen ganze alben ins netz und bekommen damit ihre aufmerksamkeit, manson verkackt es sogar ne simple mp3 zu veröffentlichen.

kerrang interview:
Marilyn Manson Makes “Cocksure”, Autobiographical New Album.
Marilyn Manson has spoken exclusively to Kerrang! About his band’s upcoming new studio album, The High End of Low. The 15-Track record sees Manson reunited with former bassist and writing partner Twiggy Ramirez – who left the band in 2002 citing creative differences – and producer Sean Beaven (Nine Inch Nails, Slayer) who recorded the band’s 1996 breakthrough album, Antichrist Superstar. Tracks set to appear on the release include I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies, Arma-goddamn-motherfucking-geddon, Devour, Four Rusted Horses, album closer 15, and We’re From America, which was made available as a free download from the band’s site http://www.marilynmanson.com, earlier this week.
We’re From America is the first track fans will hear from the album, can you give us more details about the song?
“I think a lot of people will hear the track and initially think it’s just political, but it’s not just that, it’s also me describing a lot of fucked-up scenarios that I’m going through in my personal life. Someone asked me, 'Why are you so fucked up?', ‘Well, I am from America.’ I hate the fact that so many people have fucked the country up, and so many people fucked up my personal life and I allowed it to happen. So in a way, I feel like America as a whole feels, but in no way does that make me a tree-hugging patriotic freedom rocker.”
What sound were you going for in the studio?
“It was just to not worry so much about trying to be professional, or trying to be anything. The guitar sounds like Twiggy’s dick when it’s hard. That’s why I describe the record as 'hard', not 'heavy'. Because if you’re going to have a music that is going to be called a ‘dick’ – would you want it to be heavy? That’s a burden. Or ‘hard’ Cos then you could do things with it. The record comes across – no pun intended – with the confidence of someone who is cocksure – no pun intended. It’s completely unafraid of anything.
Were you concerned with what the record company would think of it?
“No. At one point I told everyone, 'I don’t really care'. What are they gonna do? Return it? You gonna fire me? Call in some special police who come down and yell at me. Did you forget what band you are dealing with? The record companies seem only recently to be having some strange concern that I might be crazy. Really? I might be crazy? I think they’re a little late on that one!”
How would you describe the overall attitude of the album?
“This is not a record that we would leave back and self-titled and mature. This is the experienced record. This album is the 12th Grade guy that has VD and did cocaine in high school, who has been arrested once and the 9th Grade girl wants to fuck him.”
Does the album have a running concept or any specific themes?
“The songs on this record are quite autobiographical, but they’re also very much their own stories in the same sense as some of my earlier work on Antichrist Superstar. The songs are in the order in which they were written and sung. It was a story that took place and I didn’t really know what it was going to be till it happened. I had to find out how it was going to end in order to end the record. This album left many scars, and I think they are good ones.”
Literal scars too?
“Well, I gave myself 158 scars in one day. It was me trying to prove a point to someone – myself. It wasn’t like my years in the past of self-mutilation, something to be hidden, or a type of compulsion. This is more like tattoos, 158 things that happened that day and I wanted remind myself.”
Are there any other reminders of the record’s creation?
“I wrote all the lyrics on the wall of my room. It wasn’t to be decorative; it was one of those things, like it’s the last thing someone sees before they put them somewhere else. I think it looks good. And if anyone wants to come into this room and fornicate with me, I think they are a keeper… and when I say keeper, I mean kidnapping. I am probably going to do most of the press for the record from my house, before I leave or destroy it, because you can see the story and what the record as made from within the house.”
How else did you document it?
“During the whole process I took a lot of photos, so the artwork is a lot of storytelling and the way that the songs have turned out is more from my point of view rather than looking at me. Because I always wanted to take pictures, my house is set up like a movie set. Instead of lamps I have movie lights and smoke machines and things.”
Does the album also have a movie quality to it?
“Yes. I really look at this record as a film, maybe because I sort of directed it. I stopped trying to conform regular life into the idea that it’s regular life. Why isn’t it all just a movie? If people are watching, they’re watching me being an asshole or being boring or creating something amazing. That’s just a part of the movie. It allowed me to be more creative.”
Are there any tracks in particular that surprised you or will surprise fans?
“15 is track 15 on the album. It’s the most important song I think that’s been written by Marilyn Manson as an entity. It’s the most unusual song I have ever heard. I thought that the album was done, as there is a glorious epic track [before that] that I think will make Twiggy forever recognised as a guitar hero. That felt like the end of the record, but what was happening in my life had not resolved itself. So on January 5, one five, I sang 15, and the lyrics will tell the story of that day…”
Did finishing the record mark the end and a resolution of your problems?
“I think that my life definitely ended and began. The record sounds very final, but it’s almost optimistic – thought that feels a strange word to use. It’s a phoenix from the fire and a redemption, resurrection.”

Before heading to Cleveland I finished mixing and co-producing the latest and perhaps greatest Marilyn Manson effort "The High End of Low" It stars the return of Twiggy Ramirez to the musical drivers seat and also enlisted the talents of producer/programmer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Vrenna.
I came in to help produce the vocal tracks and mix, so it really was the team that finished Antichrist Superstar. This is a great record, Manson is in fine form, writing some of his best lyrics to date. Some of my favorites include "15", "Arma-God Damn-Mother Fuckin'-Geddon", and "Four Rusted Horses". I'm really happy about this record and it was great to have the four of us working together again.metal hammer says:
Metal Hammer magazine revealed today that the new Marilyn Manson album "The High End of Low" is set for a May 18th release in the UK, if this date is correct the US would probably see a May 19th release.
Metal Hammer also revealed that the new album will be preceded by the single Armageddon, released May 11th.

"My new record is done, man," he tells the S.S. "It's called The High End of Low - it's a self-described state of being that I'm in. You're going to be fucking freaked. It's the shit."
Manson is currently in the mixing process - no word yet on a release date - and this month he'll shoot the album's first video, for the tune "I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies." "It's nine minutes long," he says. "Severely sadist. Basically, it's murder, sex, death, the end."

Es geht ja nicht darum berühmt zu werden (obwohl eine sehr sehr schöne Begleiterscheinung) sondern dem Rock 'n' Roll freien Lauf zu lassen. Allerdings ist das bei ihm auch nicht mehr richtig der Fall.ihr labert alle so ne dermassene scheisse.
ich empfehle jedem mal die gerichtsakten aus dem pogo-streitfall anzugucken (irgendwo hier gepostet), da findet man einige schöne offizielle dokumente AUS DER SPOOKY KIDS ZEIT die sehr schön aufzeigen das es von anfang an nur um die kohle ging. so. is ja nicht schlimm eigentlich.
aber das hier dann immer wieder ne kommerzdiskussion geführt werden muss...
so, hier KLICK
ich hoffe das zerstört nicht eure schöne heile welt. -
grad eben hab ich beschlossen mich an halloween als ne mischung aus marilyn manson und flava flav zu verkleiden.

der clou bei der ganzen sache ist, dass man für den download zahlen kann was man will. 5 pfund? okay. 10 pfund? okay. garnichts? okay!

ein "kleiner" überblick über die anschuldigungen und ne zusammenfassung über den inhalt der klage (gepostet im mansonusa forum.)
Usually I never post on forums, but I felt compelled to mention some of this after reading the actual claim document. Honestly, if this claim is proven to be true and it looks like it very well might, I don't know if I can even say anything good or positive about Manson ever again.
And before anyone says that I don't know what I'm talking about, this is public record. It's available for anyone to purchase and download off the Los Angeles Superior Court website - just do a case search under Stephen Bier. The document is 102 pages and it'll cost you about $15. It states there will be future hearings in October. I would upload the pdf attachment, but it's too big and it's late and I'm not sure how to split the file up.
There are 24 counts brought against Warner, Manson Records, Inc., various business management firms, Ciulla Management, Satan's Bake Sale, etc. that include breach of written contract, violation of business and professions code, violation of civil code, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duties, conversion, intentional interference of w/ economic relations and dissolution of partnership.
Basically, Pogo, Manson, Daisy, Gidget and Sara Lee Lucas formed a partnership agreement in 1993 as the founding members of the band. All 5 of them were legal partners and had equal ownership rights when it comes to touring profits and merchandising revenue. Publishing/songwriting rights were divided according to these percentages - Manson (30%), Daisy (30%), Gein (25%), Pogo (10%) and Lucas (5%). This partnership agreement could not be terminated or altered in any way except by unanimous vote of all partners and is still binding to this day. As everyone in the band eventually was pushed out by Manson (according to the claim), Manson and Pogo ended up being the only remaining partners - every single other person that was in the band other than these 5 original partners were legally considered to be employees rather than partners and were paid a salary rather than shared any ownership rights.
Claims up to 1996/97 - Manson attempted to take complete control over the partnership by taking steps to rid the partnership of its members - by then everyone who was an original partner was gone except for Pogo and Manson. Up to the time ACS became huge, the band was operating in the red and it states that everyone in the band had to rely solely on a regular job to get by (interestingly, except for Manson who was supported financially by his parents).
Keep in mind that Daisy's eventual lawsuit was against the partnership consisting of at that time only Manson and Pogo. This is important in that Manson several times convinced Pogo that a huge chunk of the money went towards the settlement.
Throughout the rest of the 90s as they were touring almost constantly, Pogo was making an approximate annual salary of $70,000. I kid you not. He repeatedly asked Manson why other band members (who were deemed employees, not partners) were making a higher salary (who and amounts not stated), Manson's response was that as original partners/owners they are earning a larger chunk of the pie so to speak. Since most daily expenses like food, accomodation, transport, etc. are expensed by the band for the purpose of touring, he never fully inquired about the day-to-day financial status of the accounts until he started to notice Manson's extravagant spending.
The whole Nazi collectibles thing, the taxidermy, the ring and the wedding are for the most part irrelevant in and of themselves - they're only listed once to demonstrate that Manson had funds available to him signficantly higher than Pogo thought the band was bringing in. Also part of the claim is that he was denied access to account records, paperwork, statements, accounting, etc. by Manson, Ciulla, and various other band business management/accounting partners. Essentially, after Pogo started demanding to know where the money was and what was going on, is when Manson started his campaign to remove him (as he at that point was the only partner left and the only threat to Manson's having 100% stake). Remember, the other band members have no claim to the partnership - they're only employees. Pogo, as the only partner remaining was the only problem to Manson taking complete control over the partnership. Manson already owned/was president of Manson Records, Inc., Satan's Bake Sale, etc.
Fast forward to 2005/2006 after many attempts to gain access to funds, records, etc. via management/accounting. May 2006 - Pogo is denied access to his own equipment which is all held at a band storage facility until the Oct 06 Halloween show. Manson at this point is fully concentrating on his gallery and has missed several rehearsals.
Oct 06 - Pogo's worker's compensation claims for medical treatments (back, shoulder, wrist pain and cataracts) are denied and management claims that he's an employee and not a partner so they can't release any band funds to him. According to the partner agreement, Pogo tries to force them into releasing the funds, but they cut off all contact.
Nov 06 is also the last time Pogo spoke to Manson. He asked him why as the only other equal partner does he not have access to his own money or any band funds and why his medical comp claims are being denied. Manson feigns ignorance and says he has no idea and will be busy with his movie and has no time for this. After this conversation, Manson never returns Pogo's calls, emails or anything.
Keep in mind that throughout all this all instructions as far as denied access to equipment, the facilities, the comp and fund claims, are not only made by Ciulla, the management firm and the other accounting/consulting firms, but by Manson himself through letters and other official correspondence to Ciulla via Manson. So, meanwhile he can't even pay his mortgage at this point and basically his bills go into default.
Mar 07 - at this point, cut off almost completely from all band funds and all band activities, except for an occasional check here and there, he finds out the band is recording EMDM without him. During the same month, by letter, Manson "fires" him via their management firm. The claim here is that he can't be fired as an original partner.
And then it goes from there via their attorneys which brings us to the filing of this suit. By the way the original partnership agreement and other letters/correspondence are included in this document, so it's not like anyone can say Pogo just made that up.
