Listen to Marilyn Manson & Rob Zombie cover Beatles classic

Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie have collaborated on a cover of Beatles classic Helter Skelter.

The pair have released a stream of the track to mark the start of their Twins Of Evil: The Second Coming Tour, which has just kicked off in North America. Listen to it below.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about the song, Zombie says: “We had been talking about doing something together for these shows – that he should come onstage during my set and we’d do a song. But we couldn’t think of what song. 

“After we talked, later that night I was home and I just thought, The obvious song is Helter Skelter. It’s so obvious that neither one of us thought of it! And then I figured, well, rather than us just doing it onstage, why don’t we take it one step further and record it and put a new spin on it? 

“That way, rather than just doing some impromptu jam together, now the fans will go, ‘Oh, there’s the song I’ve already heard, and now they’re doing it.’”
