Earlier this week, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor lashed out at his former friend Marilyn Manson by saying: "Seeing him now, drugs and alcohol now rule his life and he's become a dopey clown.” With impeccable timing, Manson has given an oddball interview to a British tabloid, which appears to affirm Reznor’s words.
Manson shows up three hours late for the interview and says with mock theatricality: “Are you sure you want to ride in the car? It could be very dangerous." Manson claims to be “acting” during the interview, and says he isn’t heartbroken by his recent romantic woes. “No - wallet broken,” he quips.
When asked if he has cried recently, Manson says: "About two hours ago Steve [his tour manager] wouldn't get me any drugs. My eyes watered. Then he asks me if I am OK! It's ridiculous. It should be, 'Here's the mirror - and now are you OK?’” Reznor claims that Manson used to “pretended to be fucked up a lot when he wasn't,” and it’s possible that act has surfaced again here, especially as he has a new album, The High End of Low, to promote.
Poor Manson, he doesn't deserve this kinda treatment
