Marilyn Manson has just recently released his latest album, "The Pale Emperor". The "Sons of Anarchy" guest star dedicates "Odds of Even" song from his new album to his departed mother as he grows closer to his aging father. "The Hell Not Hallelujah Tour" is still scheduled until June this year in the United States.
In one of his latest interview, Marilyn Manson talked about a lot of things while promoting his latest album, "The Pale Emperor". However, the controversial rockstar gave some interesting insights on how he now relates to his family.
Manson and Mother; Family and Mortality
Marilyn Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, has been very open with his life and he even revealed that he had a difficulty growing up as a child. He used to hate how he was sent to a Christian school and other children beat him up thinking that he was gay. He even revealed that his grandfather was allegedly into bestiality.
The Sons of Anarchy star also grew up lashing out as his mother more often. According to him "My father was working all the time. I had to become this homunculus of sorts for my mother. And then I wanted to get away from it. I became his placeholder. My mother would even call me by his name. And you're full of testosterone and pissed off and you don't want to be called your dad's name, especially when you don't even know where the fuck he is."
He also revealed that his "Odds of Even" song from "The Pale Emperor" is dedicated to his mother who has just died May 2014. Barbara Warner, Manson's mother, has been suffering from dementia and Manson was able to channel his grief and sorrow into the song which reminds him that "you die alone."
The Pale Emperor Singer said that "I saw the mortality in my family," adding that "I think I found a responsibility there, a responsibility to myself. I didn't want the story to end piss-poor. I just didn't want to be something less than I was supposed to be."
Father and Son: Manson Style
Marilyn Manson came to peace with his mother a year before she died and right now he's getting closer with his father, Hugh Warner. In fact, Manson's old man was seen dressing up like him with full make up and gothic attire in his recent Paper photoshoot.
Whenever Manson would talk about his father, he usually exudes happiness and awe. The Sons of Anarchy star has been seen more often hanging out with the old Warner and talking to him about his previous work, service in the military and other things they have never talked about. The rockstar has been trying to move his father to L.A. so that they will be closer, but the only thing that tipped him off was when he was casted in the "Sons of Anarchy" show which is the favorite show of Hugh Warner.
The Pale Emperor Album is now out, Marilyn Manson currently has a scheduled "The Hell Not Hallelujah Tour" until June 20 this year. Tyler Bates, Paul Wiley, Twiggy and Gil Sharone will join the star from "Sons of Anarchy" in his latest U.S. Tour.
