Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp recently got huge, painful, matching tattoos on their backs. The Alice Cooper-inspired shock rocker was in pain both physically and emotionally during a recent interview.
Marilyn Manson talked about Johnny Depp, his new album Heaven Upside Down, and his shock rock image. Marilyn Manson defined his role as a shock rocker to Billboard.
“My job is to be chaos in the world, not to solve problems. I’m a tornado.”
Johnny Depp’s other friend Alice Cooper likewise had a recent interview with the Metro Times. Alice Cooper reminisced about how he invented the shock rock genre Marilyn Manson is also known for.
“We were playing every weekend with Iggy and the Stooges, and the MC5; all the high-energy rock ‘n’ roll bands because that’s what we were. I tried to be my version of Mick Jagger. He was the guy that invented the whole idea of breaking away from the band and becoming this charismatic character.”
