Does he have babies on the brain?

Goth rocker Marilyn Manson seems to be thinking about becoming a father someday.

"My girlfriend Lindsay's twin just had a baby," he recently told the U.K.'s Observer, "and I've started to think that maybe I wouldn't mind passing my demented genius on to some small thing who can set fire and breathe profanity."

When it comes to family, the musician also reveals that his good friend Johnny Depp is "like a brother to me."



"We have matching tattoos on our backs – Charles Baudelaire, the flowers of evil, this giant skeleton thing," Manson tells the Observer. "It's kind of a secret. People say to us, 'Why did you get that?' And we say, 'No reason.' "
