This is a jab at Manson, who did a straight-forward cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus." "Personal Jesus" has been covered by numerous other artists including [[Johnny Cash]].
==Fallout with Marilyn MansonTrent Reznor==
[[Image:MansonReznor.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Manson singing "[[The Beautiful People]]" with Trent Reznor during [[Fragility v2.0]] at Madison Square Garden on [[2000/05/09 New York, NY|May 9th, 2000]].]]
In 1997, [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] was tapped to produce the soundtrack to the film ''[[Lost Highway Soundtrack|Lost Highway]].'' Reznor would end up getting the job, a move that Manson found hard to forgive. Over the next two years, Reznor and Manson exchanged harsh words but in 2000 they seemed to reconcile their differences, citing what they perceived as a threat to modern music: the resurgence of boy bands and the rise of "nü-metal."
In an interview in January 2011, Reznor was asked if he would ever work with Manson again. He responded by saying he's open to anything and that his former protégé “is a talented person” and that “we’ve had our problems, but I wear suits… I'm an adult now”.
In a 2012 interview with AZ Central when asked about if a future box set was able to be released without any issues with Interscope Records and Reznor, Manson stated 'No. That part of the whole record deal on our end is through. The only unfortunate part of that is that some of the mixes have been destroyed. But he didn't destroy the mixes I care about. I don't have any bad feelings towards him. I really don't. He helped put me out into the world and I went my way and whatever happened happened. I don't think you should go back and fix things that have already been done anyway.' When asked if there would be no hard feelings if Reznor and Manson did cross paths, Manson said 'No. I don't think there is tension. I don't think we ever really had a lot in common. We had a certain sense of humor in common. He was always more of the jock and I was more of the burnout.'
