MARILYN MANSON I had always heard about Marilyn Manson but never payed much attention to him or his music(although i did hear and enjoy "This Is The New Shit"),but i saw a clip of his "Anti-Christ Superstar" show this weekend and this show was the most Satanic, Vile, Disturbing thing i have ever seen in my life. the songs reeked of drugs,sex, violence & devil worship and he looked just plain Evil(and not to mention high) while performing. the lyrics were druggy and groaned out, i could bearly understand a word he was saying, the stage was decorated with nazi war symbols and heretic marks. How is he so popular among people?? i was most disturbed after seeing that show. Marilyn Manson should be banned from ever perfroming again "Americans consume the most fast food than any nation on Earth and the stupid motherfuckers wonder why they are so fat?

he's musically talentless, but he's sometimes interesting to listen to when he talks. but beyond the shock-rock bullshit there aren't any decent SONGS.

Everything Manson does is all for show; it's all there to shock people and (he claims) makes people think. I'm not a fan of his music, but some of it I can appreciate for what it is. I am however, a fan of the man. From the interviews I've seen, he comes across as very articulate and intelligent -a rarity in the celebrity world. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

The Beautiful People was a dancefloor hit at some of the clubs in the late 1990's (by that I mean it was THE ONLY SONGS from any industrial metal band that can get people of any skincolor rowdy!!!). But for the most part, Marilyn only wanted to shock people. And TBH, his music career been over. [Edited 3/12/05 23:42pm] | |

I love Manson the man, he's an incredibly honest, intelligent man with fascinating views on society and politics.
His music is just so dull though. Just derivative Reznor fare. He got boring a long time ago as a musical act. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

um, they are regarded as posers by some to. it's gets worse, but the sound is not everything. GD and RJD are for real and they're classic metal, as well as some others not in metal. | |

I thought he was all 'act' and show as well and thought it was pathetic but then I actually went to a show and his live voice was incredible and the band rocked. He's a pretty savvy guy but just a shame he didn't take his music to a more interesting place | |

...says the guy with Lenny Kravitz for an avatar. Dude. Marilyn Manson is a fuckin' work of art, but none of his things are meant to be taken seriously. Like others have already pointed out, his persona is about shock value, something that Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper mastered. The whole genre of hardcore/metal/metalcore/grunge is nothing but shock value, which can include sex, drugs, and classic rock and roll behavior, all of the things you're bitching about. Marilyn Manson, at the time of getting interested in Satanism, was meeting up with Anton LaVey, the Minister for the Church of Satan. Manson worked with him, and was supposed to take over as the new Minister. However, as much as Manson liked to play around with the work of the Devil, he never truly followed it, but kept his shows that way. Marilyn Manson plays guitar and the keyboard on many songs on his albums, and most of them, like Anti Christ Superstar, Holy Wood (In The Shadow Of The Valley of Death), and Mechanical Animals have been acclaimed by critics and fans alike, selling a hell of a lot of copies. He is very poetic and thought out about what he is saying, lyrically, and within his books. But it's because of his so-called "craziness" because of how he acts on stage and how he dresses that people like you can't understand his art. I am proud to say I am a fan of Marilyn Manson, and if you think about it, what makes his stage show so much different than Prince's from back in the day? They were both androgynous, both dressed/expressed themselves how they pleased (assless pants, which even Manson did, heels, and make-up) and sang about sex and indecencies. But you have no problem sticking up for Prince who virtually had the same stage presence years ago... Xavier23 said: if u wanna shock people u should wear assless pants, dress like a girl and go out naked in public not sing lyrics about the good of evil and satan
And if you actually wanted to know/knew... Marilyn Manson doesn't talk about the goodness that is Satan. According to his, and his own, belief, he is more spiritual because he doesn't profess to any God, if there was one, good or evil. He just dislikes the brainwashing travesty that is religion, which is not too uncommon. Take this lyric from one of his songs, "Disposable Teens": I never really hated one true God But the God of the people I hated And I hardly think that Marilyn Manson is the most heavy duty guy out there. Like others have said, you don't really know the whole metal genre very well, do you? Umm... Lamb Of God, anyone? People get killed in their mosh pits... | |

I've seen them twice, but the pits aren't that nuts. I've seen much worse (or better, depending if you like pits as I do), with bands like Slipknot and Hatebreed.
