Marilyn Manson’s former guitarist John 5 recently made an appearance on the “This is the Worst” podcast, and revealed how a harmless prank set Manson off.
“Marilyn Manson, so all the girls loved Marilyn Manson. All the parties would be in my room” the guitarist recalled. “They would always be in my room so he could always just leave and go to his room. So there was a huge thing. All these girls in the room. We were just talking and hanging out and telling stories and stuff like that.”
He continued: “For some reason, we were at this point where we would scare each other just like two little jumps. I would say ‘Freddy Krueger’ and he would like… It was so stupid but there was this room full of girls.
“I can’t believe I’m laughing saying this. Manson goes, ‘I’m going to go to the bathroom’ and walks, and all the girls are like, ‘Oh my God.’ So I’m hiding, like, right here. So when he comes back in, I just go, ‘Freddy Krueger’ and he goes, ‘Ah’ and I scared him.
“All the girls laughed at him and he got so mad. He was so angry and left. And then in my room, he broke all this glass, like the mirrors and stuff, like that in my room so I couldn’t walk around the hotel room and stuff.”
