Marilyn Manson

[Black_Bird]

Am I the only one that still thinks this man's a genius?

When you want it
It goes away too fast
When you hate it
It always seems to last
But just remember when you think you're free
The crack inside you fucking heart is me.

(thought, not spoken)
I wanna outrace the Speed of Pain for anothter day...

I don't like his music, but I have to admit that I enjoy his costume.

 

[Black_Bird]

*snickers* You enjoy his costumes?

... well, I guess he does look kinda sexy as a woman, doesn't he.

I love his music for what it says... I think he reveals our society to be just what it is.

Still? The man is the saddest controversy seeking loser who ever worsened the world with his music. Read the Onion's "Marilyn Manson now going door-to-door to shock people" if you want the perfect example of how moronic this rat bastard is.

 

[HarlemBlade]

I guess I'm in the middle about him. I can't say I like his music too much, and as for what he is trying to say...I don't know, I just get the feeling he's a bit hypocritical making his money off of a bunch of adolescent kids who are disgruntled with society. It seems to me he just takes advantage of that and milks it all the way to the bank.

but I can't say I think he's a "rat bastard"

What's even funnier is you quote the Onion... don't you realize that's a spoof?

 

[SGTBIGDOG420]

while i realy enjoy the music in his songs I just cant get past the lirics and the fact he belives he is the antichrist.

 

[Jack247]

he is awesome.. and im one for Rap and Electronica.... hes one of the few alternative musicans i like

 

[HarlemBlade]

Someone saying they are the antichrist is about as goofy as someone quoting the Onion as a valid news source.

But a question about Manson...doesn't he reject Christianity entirely? If so, how can he call himself the Antichrist because that falls within the borders of Christian belief?

 

[Angel]

I thought he was a Satanist.

... Don't take anything he says about himself literally. He is the AntiChrist in the sense that he stands for that which is hated and despised.

There are also other levels to what he's saying - but I'm not going to get into that... have to figure that out yourself.

He has also been quoted as saying that he doesn't really hate Christianity...

No, what it is is potent satire. The difference between what he actually does and the article is miniscule at best.

 

[HarlemBlade]

That's what I meant by him being kind of a sell out himself...He's just saying this stuff to get people riled up to make a few bucks. If he went out in a t-shirt and jeans and just sang his stuff without his whole "act" he probably wouldn't be able to make as much money.

 

[Demian]

Whenever I see Drywallerz on Stiltz

I say, "The Beautiful People, the Beautiful People"...

And they look at me like I'm crazy

That's precisely it. He's just shocking people to make bucks, no message. Nothing.

 

[Black_Bird]

If that was true, he would be singing "Bye Bye Bye" instead of "Irresposible Hate Anthem."

He would be a backstreet boy.

You know what? The difference between the two is negligible. Both are selling poorly thought out pap to impressionable idiots.

At least the Backstreet Boys can dance.

 

[HarlemBlade]

But if he was a backstreet boy, he wouldn't have his own little niche in the market that the can dominate. Plus Mason creates a lot of marketing and advertisement with his exaggerrated methods. Everytime people complain about his music, it's an ad. It's really a pretty brilliant marketing scheme. I have to give him props as a businessman. But as a man with a sincere message....I dunno about that one.

 

[Angel]

I do like Marylin Manson. But I do think he's a gimmick. So are ICP.

Backstreet Boys are also a gimmick, but a different kind.


Nothing wrong with it - it's the thing to do nowadays. Gimmicks are in, unfortunately.

Some artists would have made it without the gimmicks. Too bad they didn't bother to try.

 

[Demian]

The Beauiful People, the Beautiful People

I guess nobody got it

Sure. What bothers me the most is that He, and his fans especially, seem to think that they're miles above the Backstreet boys and their fans.

Got it, just not real funny

 

[Laurel]

I thought it was pretty funny, Demian. I'm just burnt out on people and didn't feel like posting. But I actually laughed when I read that. Now I won't be able to get that image out of my mind.

 

[Weevil]

Eesh, I mean, c'mon people. Marilyn Manson??@!?!?!? This is worse than that Tool debacle.

 

[Laurel]

I'm not a Marilyn Manson fan. I just thought Demian's post was funny.
