MARILYN MANSON Countersues Ex-Bandmate POGO: Here’s Why

The Associated Press reports that Marilyn Manson has struck back against his former bandmate by countersuing for breach-of-contract.

The rocker claims in court papers filed yesterday in Los Angeles that keyboardist Stephen Bier did not carry out obligations to take part in master recordings, concerts and the selling of band merchandise. The lawsuit claims the pair’s business partnership was dissolved in 1996 after the singer became the clear leader of the band.

Manson is seeking unspecified general and special damages.

Bier — known by his stage name Madonna Wayne Gacy — filed a breach of contract lawsuit against Manson in August seeking more than 20 million dollars. Bier claims Manson stiffed him on salary and medical support while using band profits to live a lavish lifestyle. He claims Manson used the funds to buy a mansion, pay for drug treatment, produce a movie, buy Nazi memorabilia and hold a fancy wedding.

Thrall 101: An Introduction

Well, here we go.

For those of you familiar with my Myspace friendship and bulletins specifically I welcome you to my Official Blog. I’ve thought about doing this for quite some time and look forward to a much more organized news item(s) collection.

You can expect the same daily hodge podge of items I have been posting for the better part of three years on Myspace including:

*music updates
*movie updates
*various news items
*random political coverage (particularly as things heat up into the 2008 election)
*random personal thoughts
*etc.

I’m a bit new at this so we’ll see how things go. Feedback is appreciated and it is after all the entire point.

I have yet to decide on an Official name for this blog. ‘DieTrich Says’ is what I’ve been using on DieTrichThrall.com but I’m not sure that works. To be continued…
