The voice of goth

Marilyn Manson talks to 6 Music

01 June 2009 - Four hours is officially the longest time I have ever had to wait to interview a musician, and now my interview with Marilyn Manson is officially the strangest 10 minutes of my life.

Having arrived at The BBC Maida Vale studios with the naive understanding he'd be on time I spent much of my afternoon sat in a lounge preparing for the big rock arrival.

Away from music, Marilyn Manson has proved himself an insightful, articulate and compelling man, this interview conducted after a session for the BBC went slightly wayward.

During the interview he pulls the microphone apart, asks his girlfriend to strip and drops more sexual innuendos than Finbarr Saunders from the Viz comics.

Listen through the player to hear the man himself with interviewees Adrian Larkin (6 Music News) and Ian Youngs (BBC Online).

Frank E, Marilyn Manson's P.A./Sr. Sound Engineer,
He actually was pretty tired for the record. He had not been drinking or doing any kinds of drugs.

He's a riot - a clearly intoxicated riot - but a riot nonetheless. I love this man

this is so sad.

Wow, here's a man hurting so much he doesn't care. This is the saddest Manson interview I've ever listened to. Usually insightful, well put together. This man needs something and it's not what he's on.

I have heard too many MM interviews to conclude that he is not in a normal state.he's definitely high.He always confessed to use drugs but he always managed to control them...it seems like he can no longer control it.I have been a fan for many years and I just hope this is just a one off.
