Like I said, not a fan, but I've always loved his stage name and why he chose it. Cool that you grasp that, even though you're not a fan. His music isn't eveyone's cuppa tea, and he's really an aquired taste. Still, way too many people just want to dismiss him without really examining his work. I totally respect that you have done so. Some people think they're more musically sophisticated if they bash Manson. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Some people think they're more musically sophisticated if they bash Manson. I think its because they don't get how much of it is very tongue-in-cheek on his part. They look at the surface and make assumptions. I admit I was somewhat put off by his theatrics at first, but I still didn't make the assumption that he was nothing more than a throwback to 80s satanic metal (which is what so many do). It was actually interviews with the man that made me see how intelligent he was. After listening to Anti-Christ Superstar and reading his lyrics, I was intrigued. When he released Mechanical Animals, I was a total fan. The whole ironic spin on that album, coupled with a sound completely different from Anti-Christ sold me. I can totally see how he wouldn't really interest everybody, but I don't see that as reason for people to assume he is talentless.

Fitting! From the track "Vodevil": I'm not ashamed you're entertained
But I'm not a puppet I am a grenade

Really? I hadn't seen that. Ew.  Yeah. It's on the Guns, God, and Government Tour before he performs "The Fight Song", amongst a whole lot of other obsceneties. That DVD is so awesome!  | |

Genuine curiosity here. What are the characteristics of a "good pit"? A good pit is one where people are full of energy and into the scene, but not kicking and punching others cuz they think they're tough guys. Moshing is fun and great exercise, but a boring crowd and knuckle heads can ruin it. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Don't know about Manson musically, I've seen a festival concert on TV once and his voice seemed weak.
Anyway, I just get a kick out of people who get fooled by him. Especially those radically religious people doing demos and blaming him for whatever just happened. I guess he's like "yes, thank you, that's EXACTLY what I meant". Personally, I'm kind of sceptical about anything/anyone that tries to shock. You know, it's good when it shocks, but it's mostly cheap when it's supposed to shock. | |

| They want to sell it out
But it up Dumb it down A good God is hard to find I’ll join the crowd that Wants to see me dead Right now I feel I belong For the first time Multiply your death Divide by sex Add up the violence and What do you get? We are all just stars and we’re waiting We are all just scarred and we’re hating We are all just stars on your burning flag You can point your gun at me And hope it will go away If God was alive, He would hate you anyway My right wing is flapping The left one is gray Let’s hear it for the kids but Nothing they say They gyrate and g-rate On election day We got out abc’s and our f u c k Multiply your death Divide by sex Add up the violence and What do you get? We are all just stars and we’re waiting We are all just scarred and we’re hating We are all just stars on your burning flag You can point your gun at me And hope it will go away But if God was alive, He would hate you anyway I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

She’s made of hair and bone and little teeth
And things I cannot speak She comes on like a crippled plaything Spine is just a string I wrapped our love in all this foil Silver-tight like spider legs I never wanted it to ever spoil But flies will always lay their eggs Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly Sealed up with virgin stitch If it hurts, just tell me Preserve the innocence I never wanted it to end this way But flies will lay their eggs Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy."

don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs Norm life baby: We're white and oh so hetero and Our sex is missionary. Norm life baby: We're quitters and we're sober Our confessions will be televised. You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all. I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs Norm life baby: God is white and unforgiving We're piss tested and we're praying. Norm life baby: I'm just a sample of a soul Made to look just like a human being. Norm life baby: We're rehabbed and we're ready For our 15 minutes of shame. Norm life baby: We're talkshown and we're pointing Just like christians at a suicide. You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all. I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs There's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope And we're feeling fine. I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs
