Marilyn Manson

[spacebrain5000]

i have to agree. i think portrait of an american family was him just trying to find his voice, it's not as melodic or complex as a lot of his later work. i like all his albums except like.. portrait, smells like children (minus a few songs) and golden age of grotesque, which isn't even a bad album, it's just... sub par compared to something like mechanical animals, holywood or antichrist.
i would like to reiterate how amazing i think mechanical animals is. and how awesome are the coma songs! (coma black / coma white)

"Cake and Sodomy" is a classic though. I had a friend in High School that had a shirt that said "God of Fuck" and he had to turn it inside out.

Some people on this site once commented that "AntiChrist Superstar" was like "The Downward Spiral part II." I Agree with that comment.

BTW, does anyone else think Manson made up that shit about meeting Axl at a U2 concert and telling him about "look at your game girl." Also why would Axl go up to (then) a perfect stranger and tell him about all his "?Psychological problem.? Seems like Manson wrote that tounge-in-cheek.

Indeed....seems very strange.

It's in Manson's book. Claims to have met Axl at a U2 show in '92. Axl was telling Manson about his "Psychological problems." Manson told him about "Look at your Game Girl."

well technically not about 'look at your game girl' just that charles manson released an album...
personally, i don't really know if i believe it or not. it says in the book that manson told him about charlie as a musician, and six months later axl put the charles manson song on the spaghetti incident.
i don't know, it's possible, i mean the fact that charles manson was a musician is/was not a very well known fact, most people just assume he killed people n' stuff, which, he didn't actually kill anyone... he got people to kill for him. but anyway, marilyn manson, a big part of his inspiration is charlie, hence the name marilyn manson, and he covered manson songs before axl did, sooo i dunno... however i believe that axl dishing about his psychological problems to some dude he just met who wasn't even all that famous at the time is somewhat unlikely. that part was probably exaggerated. but who knows.

listen to Mechanical Animals ? it will change your mind, it definitely changed mine. i used to despise him but if u actually listen to the music u will understand how great he is....

also very smart too, this is from Bowling For Columbine-

Michael Moore: If you were to talk directly to the kids at Columbine what would you say to them if they were here right now?
Marilyn Manson: I wouldn't say a single word to them, I would listen to what they have to say and that's what no one did.

now u have to admit that is a smart answer...

Manson for president!

Manson said about 3 months ago he was finished with music as he hated working for the evil record label - guess that state of mind lasted untill his next fix!

I think Manson needs to really work on this new album, he's been slipping into irrelevance for some time now, he needs something bold and shocking.

[Sakib]

he needs to w8 until he knows he loves his own recvords not release for the hell of it

[GnFnR87]

Yeah - but Manson was a nobody in '92 - how would he even have got close to Axl and why would Axl have talked to him?

I dont mind manson my fav song has gotta be this is the new shit

[GnFnR87]

I dont mind manson my fav song has gotta be this is the new shit

that song is hilarious he basically pokes fun at mainstream music and how superficial it is. The song basically lays out the formula for a pop hit today, listing all the worn out topics, brilliant.
