๐ข๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: I never ever insulted Marilyn Manson! Itโs impossible to insult Marilyn Mansonโฆ Weโre friends and we like to hang out together. We both have a great โdirtyโ sense of humour and we can mock each other just for fun.

๐ข๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: I think that heโs an exceptional personality and a very professional musician. He put a fist up the butt of American conservatism, and thatโs very very good. He used to speak about the religious dogmas, human rights, freedom, government, church, as well as the National Rifle Association that advocates legalization and proliferation of guns in America. He throws light on some very important subjects in his music. Just let me give you an example. Letโs remember the gun shooting at the American school where some teens shot a bunch of students. And they immediately blamed Marilyn Manson and his music for that! I can remember the guys in suits saying on TV โMarilyn Mansonโs music is the only reason of whatโs happened!โ. And the next day I could hear โWe have to fight for the right to keep and bear guns!โ So who should take a responsibility for whatโs happened at that school: Marilyn Manson or those who donโt want to restrict free gun sales in America?! Itโs just a hypocrisy.

Placebo frontman Brian Molko has revealed that his past days of debauchery with Marilyn Manson saw them โvery badly behavedโ, and that he could โdrink him under the tableโ.
Molko and the โGod Of Fuckโ became friends in the โ90s when they both enjoyed a rapid rise to fame. While being โclean and happyโ these days and practising meditation, Molkoโs past was a little more rowdy.
โI remember reading โThe Long Road Out Of Hellโ [Marilyn Mansonโs autobiography], and thinking โthis book makes you feel like you want to go out and do very rock nโ roll thingsโ, but that wasnโt a particular inspiration for my lifestyle,โ Molko told Kerrang. โMarilyn Manson and I started hanging out at that time, and we were very badly behaved anyway.โ
He continued: โI never saw him engaged in any depraved behaviour. Nothing I would consider depraved. And the thing about Manson is that heโs fiercely intelligent and a fantastic provocateur. I think thatโs why we got on so well. And I have to say this โ and he wonโt like it โ but I could always drink him under the table.โ
