Your descriptions for TGAOG are very similar to how you described Holy Wood before it came out. Violent, hard, etc. But with Holy Wood, you said you said it's what Marilyn Manson fans want, whereas with the new album, you're saying you made it as a fan. In what ways, if any, will The Golden Age of Grotesque be similar to Holy Wood?

okay, i'll start by saying that there are basically 2 spieces of Marilyn Manson fans. (and this is so because of Mechanical Animals.) the first (the pure breeds) stuck with you (and loved) Mechanical Animals. the second said fuck that and then came back after it was over or they're just "new freaks" (also because of Mechanical Animals.) I'm a pure breed. i first saw you when i was 11 years old. and i've bought every album you and your band have come up with. well getting to what i want to say is that i'm in the united states airforce. i'm 18 years old and i used to have a band. all i wanted was to make music so i joined the military for money and travel. it blows (trust me.) everything i stand for is wasted. now i don't know what to do. i'm saving up for equipment and all and i have inspiration all the time. and i'm fixing to go to war. i read you quit the producing thing. i know godhead kind of sucked but you could have found better. if my music ever gets started, well i should say finished, i'm going to contact you and see if you're up for it. i'm not asking now, but i'm letting you know that if we're both still alive when that day come's, i'll be looking for you. you have truelly inspired me in more than just music. you're like a father figure i never had. keep up the good work. by the way i found some tab books here in japan. Antichrist, Mechanical Animals, and Holy Wood. Everything is tabbed. why don't you release that type of stuff in the US? (oh, i can play just about everyone of your songs, and sing...) Mechanical Animals is the most beautiful compilation of instruments i have ever listened to. that (in my opinion) is the best album ever...except for Smells Like Children, but that's not really an album, is it?

Have you ever read the book, or seen the movie Requiem For A Dream? If so, what did you think of either? They both had a major impact on me, i thought they were wonderful.

Greetings my friendly foe ... My Trailer is warm and cozy this Ohio night. My question to you is: Did you watch the VH1 show "Driven" and did you enjoy seeing your childhood friends? Do you hate those who did the show? Do you miss me? You'll be happy to know I don't have much longer to live ... Hep C has taken it's toll on my body ... Fare thee well Rockstar

WHY CNT U ANSWER MINE!!! my question is: What do you think of the 'cradle of filth' frontman? he is called dani i think.
