Best & Worst Interviews
Lets post YouTube links, of our personal favorite Manson interview as well as an interview you think is the worst. -Could be just your current favorite, and doesn't have to be the most intellectual just one you enjoyed, and one you hated.
Personally I loved pretty much ALL the Holy Wood era interviews because his answers were always so sharp witted, but right now my favorite is a goofy one:
So ridiculous, it's awesome^
Most everyone there is a jerk, especially the big mouthed Andy Dick ^
My favorites are were MM seems to just be himself and not held to the typical questions. The worst are the radio DJs that ask the same questions about "most shocking", "wonder years", "crazy rumors", etc. I appreciate when people from other art scenes talk to him about things outside just himself, and just have a discussion of something they have in common. The more the interview is focused on just MM, the more shallow it tends to be unless you have someone asking the right questions.

The MansonUSA ones. I don't think I've ever read or seen better interviews.
Link? I goggled that, and pulled up a parody and a cop off band by the name of MansonUSA. :/Originally Posted by Para-Noir
John 5 is a great musician and that might be the very heart of the problem for him being involved in Marilyn Manson – not because everyone else isn’t a great musician, but that’s not our focus. It’s about the power, the emotion. There’s just something wrong about punk rock and rock n roll music being precise. He’s a very skilled, precise guitar player, but it’s like a craftsman. Craftsman make hammers. We’re the people that like to use them.
That made so much sense. He was very focused these days.
Yep, agreed.
I'm still a fan of his music but him as a person these days not really.
He's a stupid, try-hard drunk that thinks he's funny but comes off as humorless and irrelevant now. His interviews tend to be an embarrassment too.

I miss coherent Manson as well. Every now and again we get glimpses of what he once was, but it's virtually impossible to lose oneself in his words like it was so easy to years ago. I love the man, and I always will, but he's sold his shadow to himself for living under. Born Villain's a cool album with some neat stuff about it, but what it really needed was a creative mastermind to promote and represent it. Instead we get a Campaign of "My dick..." jokes. It sounds like he's more clever/interesting candidly than in interviews, from what I've heard he's said behind the curtain at the Golden Ticket meet & greets.
Best: the O'reilly one. Worst, anything post 2007.
My favorite interviews would probably be the mansonusa ones. I remember reading them when they came out. The most exciting ones were "Dramatic New Scenes for Celebritarian Needs", and "Everyone Will Suffer Now." The worst ones are anything after 2007. They are pretty much the same drugs, sex, booze, and girls. Which is fine to talk about, but I like the more in depth serious Manson interviews, same as performances.
