Jason Sutter interview, speaks about Manson

You've been deep in rehearsals with Marilyn Manson. How did you land that gig?

I had befriended the head of production for Marilyn Manson on the Foreigner/ Styx/  Kansas tour of 2010. She was head of production on that tour and we hit it off. She knew the New York Dolls tour was winding down and gave me a call right before the New Year. Chris Vrenna decided he wasn’t going to do the gig and a few drummers came and went so she suggested they check me out.

They had another drummer they’d seen and liked and he was coming back for a call back on a Friday and they slid me in at the last minute on the Thursday before. I only found out that day that I had an audition. I had already started learning songs just in case but I still only had a few hours to learn three more songs and get my drums to the audition when I found out. It was one of the more hectic ones I’ve experienced!

I played through the five tunes and after the first one Manson was up and standing right over my drums digging it. We jammed for a bit and Manson invited me over to his house to hear the new record that night. We had a great hang and he said he loved how I played but they still had to hear the guy on Friday just to be fair.

Needless to say I got the call Friday night that I got the gig and had a great chat with Manson himself  who said how stoked he was. We have been in rehearsals for the last three weeks and it’s a riot! The tour is starting in Australia, Japan and Taiwan in support of the new record "Born Villain".

Teen blames Manson's music for arson attack

Marilyn Manson made her do it.
That's Christina Paz's explanation for setting her dad's home on fire last week.
Quoting court documents, the paper says that Paz told investigators "she was angry at her mom and dad for trying to kill her on Christmas Day, that they had planned to sodomize her and chop her up with the help of a neighbour."
When asked by an investigator how she knew her parents wanted to kill her, she blamed the controversial industrial rock acts Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails.
When Marilyn Manson released their album, Antichrist Superstar, in 1996, the band thrilled fans and scandalized fundamentalists by tearing up Bibles and miming sex acts on stage. Nine Inch Nails is an iconic hard-rock group that inspired groups like Marilyn Manson and Korn and is no stranger to controversy.
The 29-year-old Paz told investigators she wanted to burn the house to get back at her parents.
On Dec. 27, the El Paso Times says she allegedly poured flammable super glue on a bed, which she then lit, and then went into another room and set fire to the curtains.
After starting the fires, Paz grabbed her bags, walked outside and waited in the front yard.
Paz faces a felony charge of arson of a habitation and remains jailed in lieu of posting $20,000 bond, the paper says.

Marilyn Manson Wins "WTF Moment of the Year"-Loudwire

Marilyn Manson may not win an Oscar for his short film ‘Born Villain,’ directed by Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf, but he can rejoice in the fact that the movie earned the honor of the WTF Moment of the Year in the 2011 Loudwire Music Awards.

The six-minute video is perhaps the most disturbing video Manson has made in his entire career and is definitely NSFW. Check it out here if you aren’t faint of heart. It was directed by LaBeouf, most famous for starring in the ‘Transformers’ movie.

In winning this category, Manson beat out the much-maligned collaborative album ‘Lulu’ from Metallica and Lou Reed, as well as other WTF moments involving Courtney Love, Scott Weiland and Jack White.
