I think Marilyn Manson rocks I've been only to one live yet but there's another one next month I was very surprised at the stage show. I've read a load of the books about him as well, and there are some gross things in there ('Kelly's corn hole' BARF!) but he talks a lot of sense. I can't believe how silly they are to try to blame Columbine on him. People always like to try to blame the individual for things and say it's because of this bad or that bad. I think doing that is just a cover up and lazy too, because it's easy to do that and saves as well having to look for what might be deeper reasons.
I saw the film 'Bowling for Columbine'. Yes, I KNOW it's been seriously taken apart and Michael Moore was less than honest in his editing of things . But that's the sort of thing I mean - that it went and tried to look for an explanation that was not just the idea that there are bad individuals and the rest of us are okay. I think that's what Marilyn Manson's saying too Last edited by Hemel : 10-12-2003 at 01:17 PM. |

ohhh nice one what show have you been to before???
i went to Grotesk Burlesk last month and it is ****ing amazing, Guns God and Government didnt come to australia so the dvd will have to suffice and the Last tour on Earth i wasnt into Manson, poor me did you see Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes live i would love to see that live... the only think with Grotesk Burlesk i would have changed would be not doing Paranoir (didnt like it as much as his others) and added Lunchbox, Antichrist Superstar and The Reflecting God... i would have prefered the Death Song or the Love song over the Fight song but it was still awesome OMG Disposable Teens rocked live... He had his two hot as dancers and they were so cool in mOBSCENE, and then i saw them after the show out the front mingling... I still cant make up my mind about Tim Skold, Twiggy sure left him big shoes to fill, i dont doubt his musical ability but Twiggy was just so cool.

ooops sorry, missed this!
I went to Guns, Gods, and Roses, and it was - just WOW! Totally phenomenal - I have never ever seen a show like it before. Completely knocked me over, and when he appeared on stilts - OMG! The whole lot, it was grotesque and yet really fascinating all at the same time - there were things flicking around all in my head as I was seeing things differently! And he used a torch, pointed into the audience - that was really uncomfortable, being spotted like that, scary! - and of course everyone made a fuss about the sex scene, the media, how disgusting they said - I thought he was brilliant, the whole lot was brilliant! I've just seen Grotesk Burlesque - you're right, mOBSCENE was awesome and his two females dancing on those pedestals made it, just completely. They were totally brilliant all through - though yes, Antichrist Superstar - waaaaa! You know something? I have to say that Grotesk Burlesque was great - oh yes, but it wasn't as good, I thought, as Guns, Gods, and Roses. Um ... hugs to you, and sorry! |

Unfortunately John 5 wont be there His guitarist position will be handed on to Tim Skold, who also took over from Twiggy Ramirez, this really annoys me because John 5 rocked but i havent heard anything apart from what is posted above so i dont know the reasons.... i half hoped this was an April Fools Joke (for John 5 of course) and it does remind me of the dvd where it is written JOHN 5 AND JT ARE DEAD, TOUR OVER. but something tells me this isnt a joke... anyway at least were getting a best of album out of it, a chance for HB to sample some real music there is some more stuff on his website over the few days, a piece Manson wrote about The Doors, a couple of interviews including one about Mansons upcoming role in The Heart is deceitful above all things, new Manson mOBSCENE and Fight Song figurines and of course this new revelation (just go to www.marilynmanson.com and click the MM thing) .................................................. ................................

Um, I don't mean to knock any Manson fans, but I was just wondering how you can find sence in liking or even listening to a guy that does things like this: http://www.theonion.com/onion3703/marilyn_mason.html
Also, I do agree with some of the things that Manson says, but in general, he is not the best 'role model' for anyone. But that's just my opinion.

[QUOTEi was just wondering why you dont seem to think he's a suitable role model?
[/B][/QUOTE] Well, I do agree with some fo the things he says, but in my opinion, the way he appears, it seems he would not have a very 'positive' effect on many kids. He may have good ideas or opinions, but most kids will not see that, they will just concentrate on what he acts like and how the media describes him.

the media portraying Manson in some light is no flaw of Manson's and if people choose to read some absolute trash and believe it (and youve just shown that it happens ) then that is there fault... Also with a quote of Oscar Wilde's in your signature i thought you would understand that when art is misconstrued it is by no fault of the artist but of the observer...

I do know exactly what you are saying. It is not the clothes that Manson wears or the hats he wears that I do not like, they are very likeable, but it is just that, I grew up in a very strict Christian home, and that is probably why I don't exactly get the best 'vibe' from Manson. Also, I have nothing against being creative or being yourself, but in my opinion I have seen some of his concerts and albums and to me, he does not come across as a very, well in my standards, a very 'good' or 'morally' correct person. He does not seem to have a 'positive image'. And I know that I do not know Manson as well as you (Millane) or gimli7410, and I probably do not have right to just judge him without knowing his well, but I do think that things that the media comes out with most likely are sometimes even a little bit of the truth, just twisted a lot.
And yes Millane, from my signature, I do understand that it is the observers fault when they misconscrue art. But you also have to consider what the art is portraying!?! And again, I do not have a grudge against Manson, I just don't personally accept or apreciate some aspects of him. (But that does not include his clothes or stuff like that)

I agree that this discussion is not going anywhere. But I just want to clerify that, I do not think Manson is a 'horrible' person, he is just someone I personaly don't really like. And that is just my view. He does have good aspects about him, but my opinion still stands. And I respect you for your opinion.
As you said..."would you agree that Christianity, although claiming to be, isnt the most accomodating religions to different people?" I do have to agree, most Christians or even just churches are not open to things or people that are different or oppose them. But, I am open to most new things, I just have my own peson al views about certain things or people that probably won't change. Also, I do understand that Manson is an "intelligent man and a gifted artist and entertainer". But my views still hold strong.
