And Can you have an OPEN MIND to Like BOTH ARTISTS?

Can you? Sure you can!

Does he suck? Sure he does!

i'm somewhat a fan of marilyn

He's ok

Nikster said:

Ditto.

I'm totally bored with his schtick. I think he did a few good songs, but as a whole it's not my cup o' tea.

I like some of his material, but he bores me overall.

Manson's music and image does nothing for me.

I've seen him interviewed a few times and as a person, he seems quite intelligent, articulate and interesting to listen to.

He's cool. Nothing too interesting, but still good.

i only know the songs that i have heard on the radio.....which means i dont know any of mansons material really. so musically, im not sure what i think, however.....i realy like him as a person. i think is very intelligent, and i always like what he has to say. i think his thing is more about the sending across a message than it is making great music. which is fine with me. people who push the evenelope a little cause people to broaden their minds, and thats a good thing.

I love Manson!!

I saw him back in 1994 open for Nine Inch Nails and they really sucked.

But since then, they've gotten really good.

Well, you already know what I think.

you hate Manson, right?

Uhhhh...

RocknRollisalive said:

Agreed. His is kind of an Alice Cooper, David Bowe, and Ozzy Osborne ripoff.

Hotlegs said:

Manson doesn't do the same things these guys do. Just because he's dark and wears makeup, that doesn't mean he's trying to copy anyone. It's the same as saying Prince is ripping off of Jimi Hendrix, Little Richard, etc.

Prince is ripping off El Debarge

I am a new fan of Marilyn Manson. I got into him about a year ago. I think he is very underrated. The guy, and his collaborators, writes great songs. I think too many people don't give him a chance because of his image. Having said all of that, I do think that Golden Age Of Grotesque may be a bit of a creative dead end. I think he needs to change his sound a little. Hopefully the next album will be quite different than the last. If not, I think his days may be numbered.

He did say that he's working on some different stuff right now for the next album.

But I don't think he's hit a "dead end" yet. TGAOG hit number one and he still has a huge following. He's still on track.

Too many cover songs as singles. "Personal Jesus"??

CinisterCee said:

I think he's ok. I do like a few songs, but probably not enough to be considered a fan. I really like him as a person though -it'd be awesome just to sit and talk with him for an hour or so.

He is intellegent than most people think.

Saw a documnetary of MM last night... I already found him no musician, but now i am rteaqlly sure about it!! MM SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!
and he only fucks up great songs.... for instance Personal Jesus, a genius song from Depeche Mode....until MM touches it!!! Try to create your own songs!!!

So, no...Prince and MM do not go together for me!!

Marylin Manson's albums kept getting better and better up until his last two. I tried to give TGAOG and HolyWood a chance but most of the stuff on them was just boring re-treads of everything he's done before, only less sophisticated and interesting. Hopefully his new album is better.

i'm not really a fan, he's okay. although i've always liked his cover of "sweet dreams" by the eurythmics.

I don't like him or his music at all, but I do find his videos very interesting and amusing.

Tom said:

I didn't like the last two as much either, but I still dig them a lot. I play them from time to time.

Hotlegs said:

ripoff??? more like rolled into one!

I have a few of Mansons stuff. Smells Like Children and Mechanical Animals and Ejacula. SOme of the stuff is really brilliant. My favorite is Smells like Childern...simply disturbing!

He's certainly talented and they can write a good tune...though it may not be your cup o tea.
