MARILYN MANSON And X JAPAN's YOSHIKI Cover EURYTHMICS' 'Sweet Dreams' At COACHELLA (Video)

April 22, 2018

Marilyn Manson made a special guest appearance at Coachella Saturday night, April 21. The shock-rocker joined Yoshiki of Japanese superstars X JAPAN during their second set of the festival for a performance of EURYTHMICS' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", a song which Manson covered back in 1994 on his "Smells Like Children" album.

In an interview with L.A. Weekly, Yoshiki said of Manson, "He's been an amazing friend of mine. So we talked about him showing up at Coachella and he said, 'I'd be happy to.' He's just a very sweet person and he kindly tries to support X JAPAN — or support me. That's wonderful." Yoshiki went on to describe Manson as "very inspirational."

X JAPAN made its Coachella debut last weekend, playing a set that featured guest spots from Wes Borland of LIMP BIZKIT, Richard Fortus of GUNS N' ROSES and Miya of MUCC, along with holograms of X JAPAN's deceased members, bassist Taiji (who died in 2011) and guitarist Hide (who passed away in 1998).

X JAPAN is the most successful rock group in Japanese history. Led by composer, drummer, and pianist Yoshiki, the band has sold more than 30 million albums, singles, and videos combined, sold out Japan's 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome 18 times. X JAPAN has also headlined major international stages such as London's Wembley Arena and New York City's Madison Square Garden.
