Marilyn Manson Appreciation Thread

Over the past year or so the shock rocker of the 90's and 00's has become one of my all time fav. artists, making my top 10. What got me hooked to his music? His masterpiece, "Antichrist Superstar." Songs like "Tourniquet," "Mister Superstar," and "The Reflecting God," managed to impress me by a long shot, with the many other great songs off of that album. The man proved even more of a genius when I learned that "Mechanical Animals" and "Holy Wood" served as prequels to "Antichrist Superstar," which all told a story starting with "Holy Wood." Whether you like his music or not, I think people should give him credit for being able to draw large audiences and keep up with the times by constantly changing his sound and even making "dance rock" songs like "Tainted Love" (which I enjoy by the way).
So now it's time to discuss!!! What are some of your fav. Manson albums/songs? And has anyone seen him live?

As far as the next album is concerned, Manson has said it's gonna be really angry, so I'm excited
For now, my ranking of his albums are as follows...
1. Antichrist Superstar
2. Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)
3. Mechanical Animals
4. Eat Me, Drink Me
5. The Golden Age of Grotesque
6. Portrait of an American Family

Mechanical Animals is my favourite album, got to see him on that tour as well.
Long Hard Road Out of Hell probs my favourite Manson song.
Sweet Dreams(Eurythmics)
Golden Years(Bowie) some awesome covers.
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Holywood to me was like Metallicas "Black" album ......beginning of the 'meh'.
incredible show. liked manson since beautiful people. his screeching voice is a thing of beauty.
I have seen him 4 or 5 times however each time was on the Portrait tour opening for various artists (NIN, Danzig).
I think he is talented fellow.

him and Rob Zombie put on spectacles when it comes to live shows

haha! that's the best comparison i've ever read!
He is talented (and also a very intelligent man) but I feel he sold out to sell records and it was the beginning of the end. Portrait, Smells like children, Antichrist and Mechanical Animals are good albums, written well and the material was excellent live. His shows were always something to look forward to (I've seen him 5 times) but the last time I went was awful. As usual, it was the old favourites like My Monkey, 1996 and Lunchbox that stood out... the rest of the time I was just bored.
I would go and see him again if he went back to the old Marilyn, singing songs like Wormboy, walking over the audience on ridiculous crutches and wearing nothing but ripped pantyhose, big boots and a bit o' make up... fuck the super gleaming 'Hollywood-Dita's Husband' Marilyn, it's just not raw enough for me.
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
he still playes "1996"? i haven't heard that song in YEARS. i use to really like it but that was when i was 17. i need to revisit some songs soon i think.
Always thought the "Tourniquet" video was really badass, and love the "Coma White" video!!
By the way, I'd like to add that I think Tim Skold is one of the best guitarists he's recorded with/played with. I'm glad Twiggy's back, but damn I'm gonna miss Tim Skold.

Depends on what you're talking about
What he DOES DO:
- tears up bibles
- beats up his bandmates
- cuts himself
What he DOESN'T DO
- give himself blow jobs
- kill animals
- [insert whatever other sick things christian groups dream up in their sick little minds HERE] (irony huh?)

Mechanical Animals you can put on and walk away from the stereo and not have to skip any tracks because the whole thing is so good.
And the Coma White version on disc two of The Last Show on Earth is just amazing.
I've seen him twice now and he's never disappointed, it's always a fantastic show.
As to weird and crazy things at his concerts, well he did that thing with the microphone to one of the dancers on the 2003 tour here. :eek: I was amazed by my reaction to it really. That I wasn't offended.

No one will ever take you seriously spelling crap with a k.
Not to mention an inability to understand the meaning of the word appreciation.

If anything you have to give the guy credit for being a master of his game. No other modern musician can create the controversy and headlines he does without actually doing anything
