DAVE GROHL AND MARILYN MANSON HANG OUT WITH GARBAGE

Foo Fighters main man Dave Grohl and Marilyn Manson have recently recorded tracks with Garbage to be released on the bands next album. The band has been in Los Angeles recording the follow-up to 2001’s Beautiful Garbage.
In the diary section of the official Garbage website, singer Shirley Manson said that Grohl came into the studio and "hammered some drums down on ‘Bad Boyfriend’ and the result is fucking awe-inspiring."
Garbage drummer Butch Vig and Grohl have worked together in the past. Vig produced an obscure album called Nevermind, the breakout release by some band that Grohl used to play in.
Marilyn Manson recorded a duet with Shirley Manson, who hasn’t sung with anybody in a studio since her early days with the band Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie. She said, "It was pretty weird to hear Manson's voice blast into my earphones. I loved it though and I love him."
Marilyn and Shirley are not related, although she does call him "daddy" on the diary posting.
Also appearing on the album is bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen, who has worked with the likes of Beck, Pete Yorn and The Mars Volta. John King of the Dust Brothers is producing the album. No release date has been given for the as-yet untitled album.

GROHL TO GUEST ON NEW GARBAGE ALBUM

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has recorded a contribution for rock act Garbage's upcoming studio album, according to online posts from vocalist Shirley Manson. Grohl recently laid down drum work on the track "Bad Boyfriend," and "the result is f***ing AWE-INSPIRING," she says. Grohl has a long history with Garbage drummer Butch Vig, who produced Nirvana's 1991 breakthrough, "Nevermind."
In-demand session bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Air) has also laid down parts for four tracks, including "Space Can Come Through Anyone." Of that track, the singer enthuses, "His first take ... was so unbelievably good that the hairs on my arms stood on end and I thought I was going to burst with joy. And at the very moment the song ended, I was compelled to let out this little scream."
The as-yet-untitled new album is being produced by the Dust Brothers' John King. "He's a total sound geek so he's going to fit right in with the male side of the Garbage equation," Manson says. "As for his skills with neurotic, domineering female artists, well that's yet to be seen."
The set will be the follow-up to 2001's "beautifulgarbage," which debuted at No. 13 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 371,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. "I am FINALLY having so much fun making this record," Manson says. "It feels like how you imagine making records would be -- exciting and creative and joyous."
Shirley has also collaborated with Marilyn Manson for a track tipped for the latter's next studio album. "It was the most fun I've had in months!," she reports. "It was strange because I haven't actually sung in the studio with anyone since my days in [the pre-Garbage band] Goodbye Mr. Mackenze and so it was pretty weird to hear Manson's voice blast into my earphones."
