MARILYN MANSON AND TWIGGY RAMIREZ REUNITE

Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez have reunited just in time for Manson’s forthcoming Rape Of The World Tour.

Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez split during the early part of this decade, but now they’ve settled their difference and are reunited once again. Ramirez will join Manson on his Rape Of The World tour, and once again Jeordie White will use his created-for-Manson stage name.

In an interview conducted a few months back, in support of his Goon Moon project and album, White discussed the naming of the members of Manson. He used the same formula of picking a female icon and a serial killer. He talks about using ultra-thin model Twiggy.

“I had to come up with a female icon and a serial killer for the last name. The first name, Twiggy, it was just a cool sounding name. No one had really used it then, and I thought she was an interesting…. The only person that could compete with Marilyn Monroe I thought would be her because she wasn’t American, and she was just as powerful of an icon as Marilyn Monroe. So it was just kind of competing with the name Marilyn Manson — both names…”

He then talked about choosing serial killer Richard Ramirez.

“..and when it came to Ramirez, he like Manson had ties to rock music. He had a theme AC/DC. Manson to The Beatles, Ramirez was to AC/DC, so there was that tie to music. I was trying to compete with Marilyn Manson for kind of the same thing that he had picked with that name.”

Manson’s Rape Of The World Tour will kick off in the U.S. Saturday, January 19th in Orlando, Florida. Chris Vrenna, Rob Holliday, and Ginger Fish will join Manson and Ramirez on the trek. Tim Skold has amicably left the band, and future projects between the two have not been ruled out. Ramirez was a main partner in the golden age of Manson, which included the albums Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holywood.
