When asked about it in an interview, Marilyn Manson replied he was “not mad that [Alexander] said he’d kick my ass, I just don’t want to be used in the same sentence with Courtney Love” and would “crack his skull open if I see him.” Beck reported that “I was in a grocery store and he [Alexander] came running up to me, so apologetic, and saying, ‘I hope you weren’t offended. It wasn’t supposed to be personal.’ I was kind of pleased, because he’s a big guy.” The members of Hanson said they weren’t really bothered by the song; they saw it as just a pop-culture reference. They also co-wrote the song “Lost Without Each Other” from their 2004 album Underneath with Alexander. Zac Hanson said that “It was cool working with Gregg… [he]’s definitely a character but he’s a cool guy.”
