Non-Urban Music Marilyn Manson

[GhostOfRazgriz]

i like NIN alot, but im not big on manson, i guess because he took the whole god hating thing a little far to the point where he is just capitilizing and trying to get attention by being a freak, but i do think he is fairly talented. twiggy can play even though he attempts to look a whacko micheal jackson.

I'm not always liking his music, but he has the occasional cool song.
I think the person is pretty cool, his whole attitude and all.

:thumb: spot on

All right, Marilyn, we get it already. We are reality, we are a reflection of how sick society has become, we are your children, blah, blah, blah.

My problem with the music is the plodding, unimaginative riffs that break each tired track's back. The band's caustic, over-the-top industrial blast, wholly without ideas, wears thin fast. The predictably dramatic industrial vox and electronic drumming (not to mention those irritating tom tom beats) are enough to grind enjoyment to a mucked-up halt. But it's the underlying song structure that's usually the lamest act. Manson's thoughts are barely formed, his convictions are as permanent as the lifespan of flies.

He’s a bent, self-mutilating, mixed-up guy who outside of what he does to himself visually, is miserably uninteresting. He relies on shock factor (including the band's drug clown looks), to carry the tune. Sum total: bad theater wholly without purpose.

And slow, did I mention slow?

It's an act. He's a smart guy

I never said he was dumb. I know he's not unsmart. I've read many of his interviews and almost nothing he says do I disagree with. But, for me, he's not saying anything new or impressive. Certainly nothing shocking or evil, unless you're a fundamental religious freak.

It's just, for me, he's a mediocre thing. Some catchy songs, but no big deal. Like, say, Madonna. And when a mediocre thing becomes big, real big, one starts to dislike that mediocre thing relative to the big deal made about it. Which is why I hate all the American Idol winners and runners-up with a passion.

Dude is his own individual.
As a music lover I just can't get into his (this) kind of music.
