Not to mention he comes of as extremely intelligent in all interviews I've seen of him. There was even one particular interview with Letterman (who apparently has the same mentality as you) where Dave was trying his best to make Manson look like a dolt, without success. For the record I'm not a fan of his music or voice (I'm more of a classic rock type of guy), and I'm only really familiar with Tainted Love (which is a cover anyway), but I don't get he deserves all the hate he gets, especially when he was treated VERY unfairly by the media and the entire US people at one moment when Columbine happened (despite the fact that there was no real correlation between his music and what those kids did that day). Very harsh stuff. Oh, and if you are against 50 old men with man boobs who do not dress their age (literally 90% of the people in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame now), next time try to address the issue of Mick Jagger. Now THAT's a 70 year old man who shouldn't even be near skinny jeans. Alice Cooper is fucking brilliant, the fact that he was an influence is irrelevant. Mick Jagger could walk onto a stage stark bollock naked and he would still be Mick Jagger of the ROLLING STONES ffs!!!

maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted October 1, 2017 So, a serious question If the staff at the hospital have called up his medical records on the computer - are they calling "Marilyn" or "Brian?" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marilyn Manson never had an original idea in his life. And whilst I have heard of David Letterman, I've never watched his show so I can't comment on any similarities in our 'mentality'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's supposed to restart here in Dallas on the 15th. If he cancels that show I'm going to have a completely distraught young lady on my hands. I may have to smack her in the head with a stick and bury her to put her out of my misery. I fail to see the attraction, but she is adamant that she would have his babies. She's a lesbian. I'm obviously missing something here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I once saw a comment that Charles Manson was "The Elvis of Alienation" you might usefully assume Manson is the Eddie Cochran of the same. So he attracts people who don't want a part of normal life.

Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted October 3, 2017 The band Marilyn Manson did have one of the better rhythm sections in mainstream rock of the last 90s, but Christ I could have done without his vocals/lyrics/presence at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, it's an odd thing. He's clearly drawn inspiration from Alice Cooper and one thing the two share in common is a very limited vocal range obliging the band and producers to build a solid sound around that limit.

Of course, there was the chick who swore Charles Manson was innocent and had to be stopped from marrying him by the state of California. Takes all kinds, I suppose. Personally, I have never been a fan of shock for shock's sake. Marilyn Manson has no relevant message other than "I will shock you." Pointless. Not that I'm unshockable - I see a difference between not being surprised that someone would kill 50+ people from the 32nd story of the Mandalay and being hardened enough to not be shocked at the bloodshed. His only "message" is to scream counterculture, which is very, very blah. I must be old. Or intelligent. Or possibly completely stupid. It's a tossup. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
