MTV News Update

This morning around 3 AM Central time (I know this due to my horrible sleeping patterns) Mtv ran a news update that rehashed the reunion of Reznor and Manson. It quickly touched on the NYC concert where Manson joined Nine Inch Nails onstage to perform the last bit of Starfuckers Inc. and The Beautiful People. Clips from the wonderful camera work of the NIN crew that you can view in the video section of Nin.com and the clip of Beautiful People on Manson's website. Following the clips, Mtv showed a short interview with Reznor and Manson speaking about how they came up with the idea for the Starsuckers Inc. video and why they wanted to insult so many other musicians. Towards the end of the interview, Mtv made a comparason of Starsuckers to Eminem's new single The Real Slim Shady. Manson mentioned that Eminem tries for more of a comedy look in his video than Starsuckers was envisioned to be. Reznor mentioned that Eminem was "smart" for what he did in the video.
