Now obviously this has probably raised some questions about the relationships between former Manson members and their current positions in Rob Zombie. Well, John 5 (via Metal Insider) gave some insight into the relationship between himself and MM:
MI: Not to make you say dirt or anything but is there one musician that you’ve had difficulty working with?
J5: "No, I don’t think that I’ve had difficulty working with any of them. I think the public portrays it as 'Oh, he had a hard time with Manson.' But I didn’t really at all, it was just portrayed that way. I haven’t really had a hard situation with any of them. With what people see on YouTube with Manson, I had a death in the family. I was a mess at that time, and a lot of people don’t know that. So that’s why certain things occurred."
Currently, Rob's lineup is as follows:
Rob Zombie – vocals (1997–current)
John 5 – guitar, backing vocals (2005–current)
Piggy D. – bass guitar, backing vocals (2006–current)
Ginger Fish - drums, percussion (2011-current)
Now he recently conducted an interview with Nicole Powers from Suicide Girls and discussed the progression of his new album and a lil more insight into the writing process, plus the politics behind:
Q: How does this record differ from your previous ones?
RZ: "I’m really into this record right now. We have a long way to go, but it’s the most free sounding record I feel like I’ve made in a long, long time. As time has gone on I feel at different moments in my career I’ve made a record that’s significant for that time period. With WHITE ZOMBIE, Astro-Creep was the significant record at that time for that band. Then the next one was Hellbilly Deluxe, my first solo record. You make other records and they’re cool and they’re good, they have good songs, but you haven’t really turned the page to a new thing. I feel like this record is the beginning of the next phase of what I’m doing. It’s just a big crazy live sounding record. I just love it. It’s hard to describe, but every once in a while a creative vein opens up and you head off in a direction that’s just…you don’t question it because it doesn’t happen that often, let’s put it that way."
Q: I guess if you think about too much, you’ll over analyze it and then you’ll fuck it up, so you almost don’t want to question it.
RZ: "Yeah, I just like the idea of doing it right. Also, one of the things that I think is the reason for this freedom is, once you have success, whether you know it or not, you subconsciously want to achieve more success or maintain the success that you’ve had. So, obviously, if you write a hit song, you try to write other hit songs. That’s sort of the nature of the game. But, with the fact that nobody really buys records anymore, I’m not really sure what constitutes a hit record or a hit song. Those rules don’t quite apply anymore because you’re not going to sell millions and millions of records no matter what you do. It just doesn’t happen anymore really. So, because of that, you feel like, fuck it, who gives a shit? And because you feel that way, you almost feel like a new band does. You’re not chasing the dragon anymore, you’re just being creative and coming up with great stuff. And that’s usually when you do have hits, strangely enough, because you’re just creatively free at that moment."

"I have sympathy for the Whore of Babylon that gave birth to these twins of evil, and this abomination of a tour. There is no babysitter, and there is no repairing her womb. If Rob Zombie doesn't fuck you up, then I surely will. Hide all drugs and firearms… I'm coming to town..." -Manson
