Once we had about 10 songs, the band decided that we could use another guitarist to augment the sound. I called up my friend Mark Chaussee who came in and played with us for about two months. Things didn't work out with Mark and we tried out a bunch of other guys.''" – [[Erik Rogers]] (Stereomud vocalist), PRP.<ref>[http://www.theprp.com/interviews/stereomud.shtml] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071004210829/http://www.theprp.com/interviews/stereomud.shtml|date=October 4, 2007}}</ref><br />

"''It's gonna have lots and lots of guitars, killing double leads, tough vocals and hit hard. All the shit I love!''" – Jimmy Coup, Unearthed Archives.<ref>[http://archive.unearthed.com/?news,2003,12,0000025289] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060110164550/http://archive.unearthed.com/?news%2C2003%2C12%2C0000025289|date=January 10, 2006}}</ref><br />

<br />
Chaussee's style of play featured an original and exotic heavy sound, similar to "old-school" [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] – crude and unpolished, contrasting the [[glam-rock]] influences of former guitarist John 5 and the former style of the band as a whole. Mark lent a more rigid, gloomy and aggressive sound to the band. "''I thought Mark added something great and different to the tour. We haven't had the opportunity to write songs together''" – [[Marilyn Manson]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mansonwiki.com/wiki/Interview:2005/11/03_Dramatic_New_Scenes_for_Celebritarian_Needs |title=Interview:2005/11/03 Dramatic New Scenes for Celebritarian Needs – The Marilyn Manson Wiki |publisher=Mansonwiki.com |date= |accessdate=May 19, 2014}}</ref><br />
