Marilyn Manson‘s touring and press cycle for his impending new album “Heaven Upside Down” has already been a colorful affair thus far. While a recent Q&A with Rollingstone.com did see him fall victim a bit of press tour fatigue, he did offer some very unorthodox answers, including the following reply to a seemingly innocuous question:
You’re from Canton, Ohio. What’s the most Canton thing about you?
That I lost my virginity there, and got crabs at the same time. That is the terrible thing that is disqualified now by the fact that women tend to use laser hair removal or waxing, so it eliminates the risk of crabs. Who in 10th grade has crabs? I guess that unfortunate, slutty cheerleader in Canton, Ohio.
There was also this exchange:
What’s the most indulgent purchase you ever made?
I don’t have any vehicles. I’m not the typical person that goes and buys cars. I don’t have a driver’s license. So I think the most indulgent purchase I made recently came from an auction of some of Hannibal Lecter‘s items [from the TV show Hannibal.]
I bought the kill suit that he wore to make sure to not get blood on your suit and your shoes, his apron that he used when he cooked that also had blood on it, the knife, a severed tongue, and Anna Chlumsky‘s arm. She had an arms severed on the show. I ran into Bryan Fuller, the creator of the show, and he said “Oh, I heard you that bought all the stuff – I’m the one who created Hannibal.” I said to him, “Tell Anna that I was rich enough to buy her arm and jack myself off with it.”
Also, through a friend of a friend, the woman in the movie that puts the lotion in the basket gave me the actual lotion from the Silence of the Lambs. I don’t know if she stole it from the set or whatever, but it made me really, really happy.
Manson also went on to discuss smoking human bones, taking acid and more. You can read that at Rollingstone.com. “Heaven Upside Down” is in stores tomorrow, October 06th.
