I interviewed Marilyn Manson about the release of ‘The High End of Low.’ Said Manson,
It’s a choice I have made to assert myself in the position of villain. It’s a big responsibility [chuckles]. People always ask celebrities, ‘Oh how do you feel about role model?’ How about role villain? That’s way harder. A model poses. The villain gets shit done.

I spoke with Kerry King of Slayer about the upcoming Mayhem Festival with Marilyn Manson. Said King,
“Our last tour was with Manson, so I know what to expect,” guitarist Kerry King told Noisecreep. “The one wild card is that he has Twiggy back in the band, so they will be more fiery. And off stage, all he drinks is absinthe, so if I drink with him, chances are, we’re drinking absinthe. It doesn’t make me hallucinate or become a madman! I already am a madman. It makes me want to chill and listen to tunes.”

I interviewed Too Faced co-founder and CEO Jerrod Blandino. Said Blandino,
The Too Faced woman is any woman who wants to be admired and envied for being the most fantastic woman in the room. She is someone who wants to stand out in a crowd because she is the most fabulous version of herself.

I interviewed Al Jourgensen of Ministry guru and Revolting Cocks, and talked about his other passion; hockey. Said Jourgensen,
“I’ve been having a blast doing hockey commentary every Wednesday,” Jourgensen said. “But last week, I took some calls and the kiddies aren’t digging my picks, but so far I’ve called 9 of the 12 series correctly, which is still better than most of those bonehead analysts on TV. Do I sense a future career change? You never know.”

I interviewed Scott Stapp of Creed about getting the band back together. Said Stapp,
At a recent rehearsal, Mark was playing something and the guys joined in. I was feeling emotional and didn’t know why. It’s these guys who pull it out of me. In the past, we had experienced lows that we’ll never see again. As you grow and are committed and consistent, then, the next time there is a fall or problem or a personality quirk, that bottom ain’t down there. It’s up here [lifts hands higher]. The level of falls get smaller and smaller.

I interviewed Brian “Head” Welch, formerly of Korn, about what he’s been up to since leaving the band. Said Welch,
“I did my first show in Phoenix last weekend and it was nuts. Besides the normal crowd, the promoter bused in a bunch of drug-addicted kids that lived on the streets and you could see them change right before your eyes. They were jumping up and down. At the end of the show, we all shouted together like an army, ‘Jesus Christ, change me. Make me a new person.'”

I interviewed Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed about the release of ‘For the Lions,’ a collection of covers due out May 5 on Koch/E1.
Jasta copped to Hatebreed’s rendition of Suicidal Tendencies‘ ‘Suicidal Maniac’ being his favorite of the covers… for now! “That song was a vocal challenge for me,” he admitted. “Mike Muir has a higher, more singy voice. Suicidal is an OG band who have older fans who don’t wanna hear a more recent hardcore crossover band like Hatebreed butcher their favorite band’s classic song, but we feel we did it justice.”

Read my interview with theBalm’s Felicia Roman and Jennifer Sullivan. Said Sullivan,
Every woman should have theBalm Sexy Mama Translucent Powder in her makeup bag because it will help to control the shine yet still hydrate the skin so she will look polished throughout the day. Also the packaging is sexy so she will feel confident to pull it out anytime, anywhere.

I interviewed Rob Halford of Judas Priest about their upcoming ‘British Steel’ tour, where the band will be playing their 1980 release ‘British Steel’ from start to finish. Said Halford,
“We’re going retro with the look of the band,” the Metal God told us. “In the tradition of Priest, we were often credited with kicking off the denim, leather, studs, whips and chains look, and there is a rich heritage with that. We want to bring that back with the stage set and other surprises.”

I spoke with Shadows Fall vocalist Brian Fair about their upcoming record for Noisecreep. Says Fair,
