When it comes to the Marilyn Manson criminal investigation by the LASD on behalf of the LADA, we know there have been several questionable elements with unsatisfactory answers, but two stand out as most prominent. The first, as we recall, was when the LASD tried to close the investigation after 19 months and the LADA George Gascon forced them to continue due to the fact that they only handed in "partial case material," whatever that means. Two years would pass, this "partial case material" submitted in September 2022 was never explained or made whole, and the investigation seemed almost forgotten, until October 2024 when George Gascon announced they finally had new evidence in the Marilyn Manson investigation that needed to be explored. Ironically this was said towards the conclusion of the LADA campaign where George Gascon was running for reelection against his opponent Nathan Hochman, who was far in the lead to be the new DA. Which leads us to the second most prom...
Earlier this year we saw Falling in Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke and Marilyn Manson together in photos at Manson's birthday party then on a separate occasion in Radke's home, which led to rumors that they may be collaborating on a new song. Today that new song, "God is a Weapon", was released to streaming services everywhere along with an accompanying music video through Radke's label Epitaph Records.
The song is an instant classic power ballad for the frontmen, which revolves around the line "If God is a woman, then God is a weapon." In the cinematic black and white music video God is played by Radke's girlfriend, frontwoman Dana Dentata. At the end of the video Radke and Dentata share an explosively wet kiss. Aspects of the song and video also seem to be reminiscent of the Mechanical Animals era for Manson.
With the music video, Falling in Reverse also announced their God Is a Weapon tour which kicks off this August.

"God is a Weapon" Lyrics
I can't stop from spinning
Down the rabbit hole
The deeper that you push
The deeper I will go
They said that God's a woman
I’ll worship you the same
Cause all I do is think about
Saying your name in vain
You might as well marry me
My sinful confession
You're my obsession (yeah)
If God is a woman
Then God is a weapon (yeah)
I can't stop from sinning
My halo's just a hole
The deeper that I get inside you
The deeper you will fall
They Say that God's a weapon
Well I'm a hand grenade
Try to take this ring from me
Watch me detonate
You might as well bury me
My sinful confession
You’re my obsession (yeah)
If God is a woman
Then God is a weapon
(Yeah)
My Sinful Confession
You’re my obsession
If God is a woman
Then God is a weapon
