• Marilyn Manson Explains Involvement in Lana Del Rey Rape Video

    Last month, a mysterious video by horror director Eli Roth titled "Sturmgruppe 2013 Reel" surfaced online and featured scenes of Lana Del Rey being raped intercut with images of Marilyn Manson. Though Manson's representatives immediately denied that the shock-rock singer had anything to do with the video, Manson himself has now come forward and explained how the disturbing video came to fruition."It was not meant to be a Marilyn Manson video," Manson told "NME." "The editor of the company that put it out was somebody who's edited my videos. That video was something that was done with a camera that Eli, who's my friend, and I both wanted to test out, so I let him test it out."[W]hat they filmed was put in context seemingly as if it were a Marilyn Manson video," he continued, "and that was in no way the intention."Although the video that leaked online was not meant to be a Marilyn Manson video, Manson did want to make a music video with Roth and Del Rey, though it proved too difficult to organize."Eli and I wanted to do a music video with her," Manson explained, "but she was being such a problem, for me personally, although I still respect her, I'm friends with her. I just left, I was tired, I was not willing to make that part of the video. Eli and I originally had intentions of making a video with her, but that is not the intention that is represented in that film clip because that is not what I filmed, not for my video."

  • Showcasing Hong Kong Punk to Promote Protests: King Ly Chee, Tokyo Sex Wale and More

    There's no better atmosphere for a punk scene than a region plagued by political misbehavior and featuring a populace that's had enough (except for a region where freedom of speech allows so-called punks to perform nearly anywhere without fear of persecution while still feeling rebellious...but whatever). One locale that's had a lot of protesting in recent months, along with a healthy influx of Western music influence, is Hong Kong. We wrangled together a list of four rock bands from the city that must be excited to provide a soundtrack to the current wave of student protests at mainland China's back door.

He has officially been cleared of his weapons charges after the prosecutor said there was not enough evidence to support the case, according to ABC News. The charges stem from a raid on his tour bus while he was performing at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, alongside Wiz Khalifa on the Under the Influence Tour. There had been a fatal shooting backstage at the concert and Irvine PD raided Jeezy's bus in connection to it, while looking for weapons they found an assault rifle they believed to be his. He as well as several members of his entourage were charged with gun possession. The "Seen It All" rapper has announced today that he was cleared of all charges stemming from the incident in California.Jeezy released the following statement regarding the event."I pray this had nothing to do with race, but it definitely had nothing to do with evidence. Words cannot express how vindicated I feel with these charges being dismissed today," Jeezy said in a statement. "While my team and I always knew that the allegations and charges were based on zero facts, the rush to judgment by both the media and the police has been extremely disappointing. I'm relieved that the truth has ultimately prevailed and I would like to thank those who have always stood by me, including my family and fans."
