Marilyn Manson is a freak but freaks are good. His lyrics are so well layed out, and the way he projects them is unique and goes straight to my heart. I feel it. He is an artist. "I want to fly into your sun Need faith to make me numb Live like a teenage christ Im a saint, got a date with suicide Oh Mary, Mary To be this young is oh so scary Mary, Mary To be this young im oh so scared I wanna live, I wanna love But its a long hard road, out of hell I wanna live, I wanna love But its a long hard road, out of hell You never said forever, could ever hurt like this You never said forever, could ever hurt like this Spin my way out of hell, theres nothing left this soul to sell Live fast and die fast too How many times to do this for you? How many times to do this for you? Mary, Mary To be this young im oh so scared I wanna live, I wanna love But its a long hard road, out of hell I wanna live, I wanna love But its a long hard road, out of hell You never said forever, could ever hurt like this You never said forever, could ever hurt like this I wanna live, I wanna love But its a long hard road, out of hell Long hard road, out of hell I wanna live, I wanna love But its a long hard road, out of hell Sell my soul for anything, anything but you Sell my soul for anything, anything but you"
He's a genius! Just because he looks different doesn't mean anything bad. A lot of his music is extremely intelligent and actually makes sense - As opposed to some artists like Blink 182 who make music for god knows what reason?
yeah he is a freak, but whatever. the point is the music, not really what he is. and i liek what he is. he is himself, which makes the music that much more meaningful, it's not just music to entertain people and sell money, it's music that is an expression of thought and feelings. he is a genius.
I wouldn't be so quick to call him a freak. he paints some amazing stuff and is VERY articulate when interviewed. For a written interview check out "Stranger than Fiction" by Chuck P. Hes just paying a role.
i wasn't necessarily calling him a freak. ok maybe i was, to be more correct, i will call him a unique artist of whom is unafraid to express his innermost thoughts and applies them to the music he creates. The first time i listened to Lest We Forget I felt it...it was really deep. The music i can really get into, and teh only kind is music that i feel deep inside... the kind taht has lyrics that say how you feel adn what you want to say but that puts it down FOR you. and that's marilyn manson for me.
I got into him around the time Mechanical Animals came out. It was such a good album. Now I have almost all of his albums (I think the only one I'm missing is the last tour on earth) I've read his autobiography. Definately one of my favorite artists.
i don't care what anyone says. I love Marilyn Manson. Not just the old stuff, absolutely everything. i won't say he's amazingly talented or anything. i just... i don't really know, i just love it.
I really dig Manson, too. I was into the heavier goth thing (waaaaay far from emo...I have to save myself, you know? haha) in high school, and I absolutely fell head over heels for Manson's music. I just love his voice and his music was extremely representative of a stage in my life that while I scoff at, was equally as important as any other stage (ahhh, yes, teenage angst). I've grown to be just a fairly happy free-spirit since then and still love his music. There's just something about a guy who'll get tit implants...
