artist: marilyn manson date: 06/07/2007 category: video news
Marilyn Manson has released his new album, Eat Me, Drink Me on June 5, and it's his second album without Twiggy Ramirez, the former bassist and guitarist. Ramirez is now known by Jeordie White, and he's fully detached himself from Manson after their 2002 split.
White has his band with Chris Goss, Goon Moon, and he's also in the 2007 touring edition of Nine Inch Nails. He talked about the split with the Marilyn Manson.

"When people leave bands one person says he quit and the other person says he was fired. It's like with a divorce, like, 'Oh, I left her' or 'She left me,' 'She left him...' The relationship that we had was just... It was over. It had come to a close where my life was and his life was it was just not the same anymore. At the time it was devastating and it was tough, but it was... Now, I'm so glad that it happened."
White helped pen some of Manson's best work including "The Beautiful People" off the Antichrist Superstar album and "The Dope Show" off the Mechanical Animals collection. White said that he's very proud of what he and Marilyn Manson did creatively.

"Well obviously the work that I'm defined for is the work I did with Marilyn Manson. That's what's going to follow me around for probably the rest of my life. Probably...Maybe not my best work, but definitely my most popular work for sure. It may be my best work. Who knows? It depends on... It was made in a period where we were all on fire and really good at what we were doing. Obviously the work I did with Marilyn Manson would probably be the thing the most proud of."
Jeordie White said that he still is very grateful for his time and experience in Marilyn Manson.

"Being in Marilyn Manson was the best thing that ever happened to me, and leaving it was the best as well. I don't have any regrets or I have nothing bad to say about him. He's one of the most important people in my life -- not right now -- but in my lifetime he's definitely an important person for sure."
White joined Marilyn Manson in the mid-nineties, and the two parted ways in 2002. While Ramirez acknowledged the split with his writing partner was painful, in an online statement at the time Manson acknowledged he was pained as well. Manson craved a new start, and has subsequently released The Golden Age Of Grotesque and now Eat Me, Drink Me. Manson will tour this summer with Slayer.

Cortini performing with Nine Inch Nails
The story behind keyboardist Alessandro Cortini, frontman of Buddyhead Records act modwheelmood, joining the seminal pop-industrial band Nine Inch Nails is an interesting one. He was teaching at the Musician's Institute at the time and saw a flyer on a soda machine which caught his eye. It was an audition to join the live touring band for Trent Reznor's NIN. Cortini took the chance to go to the audition; lo and behold, he landed the job.
Sound too good to be true? NIN's frontman Reznor stated in a Keyboard Magazine interview (September 2005), "The new band started with [drummer] Jerome Dillon, bassist Jeordie White [a.k.a. Twiggy of Marilyn Manson fame], and I holding open auditions in L.A. My first thought when Alessandro walked in was that he didn't look like what I had in mind.
His presence was intense but gentle, not the 'I'm gonna attack you' energy fans might associate with NIN. Then he started, and within 30 seconds I was like, 'That's the guy!' I've never once regretted it."
According to latest news, Reznor loved Cortini's playing so much, he invited the 30 year-old to join the band once again for their Spring 2007 European tour, to support NIN's forthcoming release, "Year Zero," due to be released in April of this year.
Cortini had immigrated from Italy to Los Angeles to study music. Since his major at The Musician's Institute was Guitar Studies, when he landed his first gig with the band The Mayfield Four, upon graduation, it was as a stringman. The band called it a day and he went on to join Everclear; he then began to lose interest with the guitar as an instrument so he went on to learn keyboards and synthesizers. Cortini's track record and reputation solidified when joined Nine Inch Nails on their 2005-2006 world tour.
When he's not touring with Nine Inch Nails, Cortini and his former classmate, Swedish guitarist Pelle Hillstrom, went on to form the duo modwheelmood. The duo's music pays homage to minimalist style. In 2006, they released their second EP, "Enemies and Immigrants," where you can't help but hear faint traces of Radiohead and Thom Yorke throughout their songs. The music consists mainly of guitar, keyboards and synthesizers. Cortini's angelic vocals stands out throughout their tunes.
modwheelmood performed at the 2006 CMJ Music Marathon as a part of the Buddyhead Records [see related story] Showcase Party (Buddyhead Records was founded by Travis Keller and Aaron North--the current guitarist of Nine Inch Nails). Pelle Hillstrom was in doing recording sessions in London at the time, which left Cortini to perform modwheelmood's songs live by himself.
I was told Cortini was very nervous about pulling it off all by himself live on stage. But he need not be; he pulled it off with flying colors.
Luckily, I've had the pleasure to see Cortini perform in Nine Inch Nails as well as modwheelmood. It's amazing to see him taking command of Nine Inch Nails' brutal industrial sounds and abuse the fuck out of the keyboards. Then we have a nervous yet delicate performance of Cortini in a one-man show as modwheelmood. I'm very fortunate to have seen both sides of Alessandro Cortini.
A very busy fellow indeed. Besides playing music, producing, writing and performing, he also taught at the Musician's Institute. During fall 2006, Cortini became a Project Advisor for the Musician's Institute Recording Program.
Alessandro Cortini sat down with us to talk about what he's been up to. Be it the guitar or keyboards--it doesn't matter which instrument he chooses--Cortini's first priority is writing great songs.
