@MagicatthemovieS: THis is my review of the article; I only have a handful of comments that I think need addressed for this to pass as GA.

Lead

• Lavigne and Manson have been friends for years, and were once falsely rumored to be dating. --this seems too involved to be in the lead, and I think is better part of the Background section only.
• Maybe it's just me, but "creepy" strikes me as a bit informal/unencyclopedic. Maybe "unseemly" or something of the sort would be a better option?

Background

• Everything reads nicely here. No real issues with prose.

Composition

• I'm assuming "cruching guitars" is a typo for "crunching" or "crushing"?
• "pints"----"points"
• Billboard named it a "salacious, sloppy, muddied rock music - as it damn well should be," -- "a" is an extra/unneeded article

Credits and personnel

• There may or may not be a standard rule on this, but from my experience with music articles, the person should be listed with their role following, not the other way around (i.e. "Avril Lavigne — backing, lead vocals," not "Backing, lead vocals – Avril Lavigne"). I do think the former makes more sense and is easier to navigate as far as list-form information goes.

Sources

• These seem to check out, and are appropriately archived/formatted.

Overall: This article is very close to passing; there are a few minor things I have pointed out above, but they are mostly minor technical issues and not related to the substance of the article here.  On hold
