When Eminem released his 2002 album The Eminem Show , I noticed during " The Kiss (Skit) " there is background music where you can hear the name Marilyn Manson be used in a never released song of his. Yesterday, August 26th 2025, that song was finally released after 23 years. The song is called “Everybody’s Looking At Me” and it can found on the Stans soundtrack. It was produced by Dr. Dre, with the first verse of the track from a 2002 Funkmaster Flex freestyle with Eminem later expanding it into a full song. The lyrics leading up to and mentioning Manson are as follows: Lights, action, cameras flashin' (Shh) Managers, sponsors, concerts, monster mashin' (Yeah) Moshin', everyone thrashin' (Ugh) Laughin', lashin' in arrogant fashion Type who might throw his underwear in the trash and Wipe his ass with the American flag like Marilyn Manson (Haha) You can hear the song on Apple Music here .
Towards the end of the August 22, 2025 episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, guest and Stained frontman Aaron Lewis talked about his "penpal" friendship with Marilyn Manson, when asked by Tucker who the truly good people in the music industry are.
"I have a lot of acquaintances in the industry. Like there’s people that I have huge love and respect for. Like me and you text all the time, me and Marilyn Manson text all the time. He'd actually surprise you... Brian is one of the most intelligent, profound conversations I have ever had with somebody. I use the word evil lightly, but he's like an evil genius. He is fully aware of every single button he is purposely pushing... Like it's all been calculated... He knows exactly what he's doing. He knows exactly what buttons he's pushing and he's pushing them on purpose. He's amazing... He's like my modern-day pen pal. We never actually talk on the phone. We just text."

Tucker Carlson also mentioned interviewing Manson years ago:
"I interviewed him in the 90s, Brian, and I thought he was smart. In maybe 1999 at the Chateau Marmont in LA."
