If you make it sound too much like a synth, it will just sound like a guitar part played on a synth.

But the exposure we got by doing the stint with Nine Inch Nails brought us a lot of attention.

We're approaching things quite differently this time, but it will still sound like Marilyn Manson.

Well, I didn't really grow up playing or listening to metal, like many of the kids I went to school with. I only got into it in my late teens, so when Marilyn Manson formed, it was at a time when I was still excited about approaching music from that angle.

There are kids out there that are into Iron Maiden and others who are strictly into industrial music, but they come for the same reason; they all like us and they different things out of the band's music.
