According to an interview Marilyn Manson did on Tuesday with The Sacramento Bee, Twiggy has filmed a segment for MTV's "Cribs", which should be shown "in a week or two". To read the full interview, click here. In the meantime, keep an eye on your local MTV listings...

Two new pictures have been added to the Live photos page, one from the Guns, God & Government tour, and another from Mechanical Animals.

Twiggy lends his talents to yet another non-Manson project, this time on Dave Navarro's just-released solo LP, Trust No One, playing bass on Track #5, "Everything". For anyone who is a fan of Diamonda Galas, a sample of "The Sporting Life", written by Diamonda and John Paul Jones, also appears on this same track.

Greeting the crowd with "It's been a long time coming, motherfuckers!", Marilyn Manson returned to Denver with a kick-ass performance at Thursday's Ozzfest. As promised, he also took time out to read a few select passages from the Bible, which sounded to me more violence-oriented than anything ever penned by Manson. As to the protesters who'd tried to keep Manson away, and who had promised to be at Mile High Stadium the day of the show to discourage attendance, not one could be found when I arrived at the venue about an hour before Manson's set. A full review of the show can be found in the Tour Dates section.

I also attended the rally in support of Manson held the day before the show, which was a big success, attracting people of all ages and walks of life. Click here to read the write up it received in the Denver Post.

Citizens for Freedom of Choice have had their rally permit approved, so for those who can attend the rally will take place on Wednesday, June 20th from 5-7 p.m. on the West (facing the mountains) Steps of the State Capital Building. Be there if you can to show your support not only for the band, but for your overall rights under the First Amendment. You also still have until June 18th to sign the petition that will be presented both to officials and to Manson himself. The petition can be found at the above link.

A review of Ozzfest's stop in Indianapolis/Noblesville, IN has been added to the Tour section.

Marilyn Manson kicked off their stint with Ozzfest over the weekend, Friday in Chicago, IL and Saturday in East Troy, WI. Reviews of the shows so far by fans and critics alike have been overwhelmingly positive in Manson's favor. From my own experience on Saturday, Manson and the band played a tight, high energy set that blew the other acts off the stage. For reviews of both of Manson's shows and an overall take on Ozzfest in general, go to the Tour section of this site. If anyone has reviews of their own that they would like to submit of any Ozzfest or non-Ozzfest show, feel free to contact me.

Yet another non-Ozzfest show has been unearthed. The band will headline K-ROCK 93.3's BootKamp 2K1 concert this Sunday, June 10th at the Westfair Ampitheatre in Omaha, Nebraska. Other bands appearing include Staind and Monster Magnet. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, although I couldn't find an online listing for it. Call (402)422-1212 for tickets. More information as to additional line up, etc. can also be found either at the Westfair Ampitheatre website or K-ROCK's official site.

More photos have been added to the Live and Other photo pages, including a video capture of Twiggy from "The Nobodies" video, which just made its debut on MTV yesterday.

Two additional non-Ozzfest dates have surfaced: Grand Rapids, MI (Devos Hall) on August 2nd and Wantaugh, NY (Jones Beach Ampitheatre) on August 9th. While both dates are listed in the official website's tour section (along with the other non-Ozzfest dates) no information is available yet regarding ticket sales. I will list this information as soon as I have it.
