He is going to get married to Dita Von Teese. He was married before to Rose Mc Gowan.

On the other hand, his guitarrist John 5 has left the band where he was for 5 years.

Miss Von Teese must have been highly stoned to say yes.

Because he likes it? Depeche Mode are in many ways the fathers of industrial music....

Say what???

And is this also saying that Manson is supposedly industrial then?
I know I don't like "mainstream" industrial (if there is such a thing), but I'm pretty sure neither band produce industrial. But then again, there are too many streams in music nowadays and no clear borders between them anymore, so what do I know?

Depeche mode are a big influence on lots of industrial bands, and though I hate pigeonholing anyone, there's definitely some industrial in what Manson does.

You are very wrong there.

Coil are.
Laibach are.
Lots of bands I have no clue about must be.

But not Depeche Mode!

Perhaps that was an overstatement, but not "very wrong". I never said that Depeche mode WERE an industrial band, but they do come close at times.

The dark edge to their electronica post Vince Clarke has been a big influence on many industrial bands. That much is certain, and that's why it's no big surprise to see Manson covering one of their songs. This was my original point.

Alright. But don't call them "fathers of", please. And you must be right, the guy loves Depeche Mode. Who wouldn't? Sometimes the number of people loving Depeche Mode just exhausts me.

So, ANYONE covering another Depeche Mode song = what an incredibly boring idea.

I suppose you have not yet heard Shake The Dissease by Hooverphonic? It tops the original!

OK I promise not to do it again, although looking at the bands you mentioned, their earliest work was all released after depeche mode's music started to get dark...

Well that's another argument...

They've both been around since 1983, which is early enough for me. And they're really way more industrial than DM. But of course, we may have a different idea of industrial. Many people do.
