Necrotic Obsession

Just wanted to see what you guys thought of him. Personally i want to see him eat a bullet

some of his music is ok but his videos are pretty off the was

Just brought it up because i see all these kids who still practically worship him i hate the fucker.

I think he's great. I'm not a kid though. I think his music stands up and his attitude is true to the spirit of rock n roll.

i don't see why anyone would worship him, thats just wrong

Shit. I have been over this topic a THOUSAND times at least, on other forums, and even just with people I know. I always start ranting.

MM was good, once. During the past five or so years, he managed to transform into a complete arsehole, drug-addicted, alcoholic, aldulterous swine who limps around the stage wheezing, huffing it up on his inhaler and singing off key. His music turned to COMPLETE shit, and he's almost a pedophile now (the American age of consent is 18?) because his gf was only JUST 19 when he started rooting around (hell, maybe he rooted her before then, it only bacame public a short time after she turned 19).

He's an arsebag.

Personally, I've always been bigger fan of his ex wife than I ever was of him.

But none of that has anything to do with his music. He has actually matured as an artist. He started out as just another shock rocker ranting and screaming. And if I were to stop listening to artist who are or were "complete arseholes, drug-addicted, alcoholic, aldulterous swine " My choices would become very limited. So was Jim Morrison.

The Golden Age of Grotesque was a great concept for an album.

As far as the age of his girlfriends, the age of consent in many countries and a few states including mine is 16. In some countries it's even lower. And how old his girlfriend is doesn't have anything to do with me anyway. Or his music.

Marylin Manson kicks ass plain and simple and I have to say that probably the only people who once liked him and now hate him are the typical bandwagon jumpers; the same groups of people that started wearing flannel in the nineties right after Cobain offed himself but soon switched to eyeliner and fishnets once they discovered NIN. In my opinion, they're no loss.

His music was fine when he was screaming, at least he screamed about decent subjects. I bought Eat Me, Drink Me only to discover that he now wants to moan about how great Evan Rachel Wood is and how much sex thay have. That, to me, is bullshit. I liked Marilyn Manson the band, and the band is gone. Now its Brian Warner.

I don't like him, never have, probably never will.

The only real reason he's famous is because he's some pseudo-bogeyman who copied his image off 99% of the early 90s black metal bands and then used his comparitively radio-friendly so-called music as a means to deliver this facade and scare the impressionable masses, and of course, when parents hate something, its only a matter of time before the youth pick up on it.

He dosn't deserve half of the recognition and credibility he recieved and has only gotten worse with time.

i like his music up until the last album ... id check out any new stuff hed put out but if it goes in the same direction as Eat Me, Drink Me i wont be buying
as for him as a person as far as i could tell he was always a drug-addicted alcoholic and more than likely adulterer its just the last little while that people really put the emphasis on it possibly as he is almost 40 and still acts as tho hes 20? .. not that i have a problem with that its his own fucking life
but music wise we'll see what happens

I love most of his music. The first song I heard by him was Fight Song and I was instantly in love. My favorite song would have to be Slutgarden. I just don't see how anyone could call that Goth though.

Relevant to what though ? Pop culture the in crowd ? This isn't hip hop none of that matters. His music has matured and Golden age was some of the best music he has released.
