Marilyn Manson
i read this the other day and we discussed it in our philosophy class and everyone found it very interesting. It is Marilyn Manson's response to being blamed for the Columbine shootings...

A very intresting and well thought out quote from him there. i have to admit i do agree with him on many issues (not least the gun one).
I have to admitt ive allways thought it funny they tried to pin it on manson ive listened to manson so ngs and allthough they are all pretty crap there is nothing in them telling people to go out and kill

That's a really interesting article and I am glad that I read it.
I can say that I mostly agree with him. He has thought about his statement and I think he deserves that the people listen to his point of view. And I appreciate him for being different. Not another clone in this ridiculous world.

When I first saw MM I didn't think anything of him. He was just there. I don't know why, but I was never judging him. But then he appeard on MTV's diary. His statements were really good and you could really see a glimpse of Brian Warner through the whole MM fassade. And I liked what he said. People complain about peer pressure and the need for young people to be cool and in and to do things that everybody does and then on the other hand they complain abbout a person who is against all these things and does just his own thing.

Nevermore is a good example, I recommend their album "Politics In Ecstasy". Politics in Ecstasy I hate you, the pigs who turn the screws, I hate everything you stand for I hate the world we've bred, political pigs we've fed, our fathers left us nothing but a dead world Beyond repair down in despair, our fathers left us nothing Choking on the influx of technology I realize the politics of ecstasy And we can't change what's in stone We've been had. Injustice to the masses, destroy the land and crush the poor The pigs are fueled by greed, political ways obscene, our fathers left corruption in this dead world Beyond repair down is despair, our fathers left us nothing Choking on the puke of their industry, regurgitated propaganda ministry Freedom's never free, the politics of ecstasy are these: Freedom's never free, these are the politics of ecstasy: I hate you , the pigs who turn the screws, I hate everything you stand for I hate the world we've bred, political pigs we've fed, our fathers left us nothing but a dead world Beyond repair down in despair, our fathers left us nothing Choking on the influx of technology I realize the politics of ecstasy Freedom's never free, the politics of ecstasy are these: Freedom's never free, the politics of ecstasy are these: If you take a step back and you realize your home can't be a perfect world There's still hope the hate you fell will fade, injustice is gone: Injustice is gone for a little while Last edited by Ragnarok : 09-02-2003 at 04:47 PM. |

Well, that sounds like it was ripped off Harrison's "Piggies"
Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt? And for all the little piggies life is getting worse, always having dirt to play around in. Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts? You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt, always have clean shirts to play around in. In their styes with all their backing they don't care what goes on around. In their eyes there's something lacking what they need's a damn good whacking. Everywhere there's lots of piggies living piggy lives. You can see them out for dinner with their piggy wives clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon. |

This is my favorite thread I have ever found on Entmoot. I can't say that I disagree with a single thing Manson said. His clarity help me put into words what I have agreed with all along. Difference should be encouraged. People or things or games or anything that seems violent to the media are simply expressing their opinions through what they dislike. People are full of all kinds of opinions, which ones they may present should be examined carefully. People who have been described as "different" have been hounded and bothered. Many instances, they will not tolerate this and simply express what bothers them. In individuals, sometimes this is the only communication. It was true for me a while back...
Too many things are too familiar these days to be taken seriously. For all the telecommunications we have today, communication is at an all-time low. And I don't mean the spread of news.

Wait a minute, back up the Oompa Loompa truck here... Marilyn Manson as Willy Wonka?! I think that would be seriously disturbing to little kids.

ohhhh i have finally been to the GROTESK GURLESK and now i can fully appreciate Manson to the degree he deserves... There were so many cool fans their, of course there were the losers that rocked up in metallica, soad and even one brave soul in a RHCP shirts, and their was a sick bloke that was dressed up as a girl talking about the time he met MM, he said he was great but M.W Gacy was a bit of a loser so he stole his belt...
i got excited at one point when he asked some girl her name which sounded very elvish and i said that to my friend and then Manson said 'sounds like some sorta Lord of the Rings ****' has anyone seen the This is the New **** video, it has him singing to a fake crowd (the real crowds are so much better) but it has his set and it was so incredibly cool that i wont attemtp to describe it... He dressed up as Mickey Mouse and did its a small world after all which was great... and then when the lights came back on and everyone thought it had finished we heard 'we hate love, we love hate, we hate love, we love hate...' and he came back and did Irresponsible Hate Anthem to finish it off. the start of the concert was soooo funny, Mandy Kane opened for MM and he came out and tried to look cool by opening vic tinnies at the start of each song and he threw one into the crowd and someone threw it back at him, then the big chant of "**** YOU, WE WANT MANSON" went up and the wanker had the nerve to say im better than Manson... then i think MK got a bit angry coz John 5 was on the side getting his guitar ready and someone screamed out 'ITS JOHN 5' and he waved and basically destroyed the song... anyway i can talk for hours about this so ill stop now
