Marilyn Manson In Incomprehensible Gibberish Shocker!

No shit! I thought it was about Jesus!

"Despite having more media coverage than pretty much any musician other than Britney Spears over the past five years, my only hit to date was an uber-obvious cover version. I figured lightening might hit twice"

Has he covered "Like A Prayer" yet?

"You can
drive yourself crazy in circles going round about that but it's... it would take an hour at
least just to go down that path."

Doesn't a best-of usually signal the waning days of a record contract? He might well be on Cleopatra, this time next year.

That or CMC.

2. Regardless, the people who buy into the image of one (meaning they see the image as genuine) will view your analogy as REINFORCING the sincerity of the images portrayed rather than REFUTING it.

3. Marilyn Manson manipulates stereotypes and images to push an ultimate message of tolerance and inclusion; George W Bush manipulates stereotypes and images to push an ultimate message of exclusion.

Fucking Chart.

Or Magna Carta.

...with additional songwriting and production by Jim Steinman...

MARILYN MANSON has told MTV.com that he prefers to call his upcoming greatest-hits collection,
"Lest We Forget: The Best of Marilyn Manson", "a farewell compilation."

"You get frustrated sometimes when you know that your heart is really buried in your art, and you know
more success equals being more mediocre," Manson said. "So you have to redefine success, and you can't
compete with people who don't do what you do. It's not really a 'greatest hits' because I was never really a
top-40 artist."

The deluxe edition of the album, due out Tuesday, features a bonus DVD containing all of Manson's
videos, including one that has never been seen before. The clip, for the song "(s)AINT", was directed by
actress Asia Argento — Manson's co-star in the upcoming film "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All
Things" — and was deemed too graphic by Interscope Records.

"I paid for it myself because I wanted it to be unfiltered and untampered with by the label. I want people to
see it uncensored," Manson said. "It is explicit. I tried to paint myself in the darkest portrayal of all my
darkest, lowest moments. It takes place in a hotel over two days, and the agreement between [Argento] and
me was that everything would be real. It was pretty graphic."

By way of contrast, Reise, Reise's first U.S. single "Amerika" showcases a much lighter side of the Rammstein psyche,
while addressing much more universal subject matter. Directed by Jorn Heitmann (who helmed 2001's "Ich Will" and
"Sonne" clips), "Amerika" is a tongue-in-cheek affair, in which U.S. globalization and imperialism is portrayed by
Rammstein members on a moon landing that turns out to be a staged video production, juxtaposed with footage of
indigenous third world cultures chanting along with the "We're all living in Amerika" chorus--the ideal tone for a song that
successfully rhymes wunderbar with wonderbra. Alternately provocative and humorous, "Amerika" offers a fascinating
outside perspective on U.S. commercial and governmental policy.

you forgot Gary Numan(78-80).

I'm not defending him or anything, but he's had a handful of videos on TRL. I'm pretty positive "Disposable Teens," "The Dope Show" and "Rock Is Dead" all made it on at some point, and "The Beautiful People" was pretty damn huge.

"You get frustrated sometimes when you know that your heart is really buried in your art, and you know
more success equals being more mediocre," Manson said. "So you have to redefine success, and you can't
compete with people who don't do what you do. It's not really a 'greatest hits' because I was never really a
top-40 artist."

"more success equals being more mediocre" = i am mediocre and will have no more successs
"redefine success" = no one wants to listen to my records anymore
"i was never really a top-40 artist" = must! start! lowering! expectations!

Hell, I loved Ministry and AL was a walking joke.

He's really good in a John Tesh kind of way.

Haha, I've seen that, awesome. Not sure how it directly relates to his (admittedly lol-worthy) MySpace post. What spurred that one?

Note where he says:

"I will personally or with my fans help, greet them at their home and discover just how much they believe in their freedom of speech."

"HELLO AVERAGE PRESS MAN DO YOU BELIEVE IN FREEDOM NOW!"

apparently it was this article that inspired his rant:

It was Travis Keller’s strangest Christmas Eve on record; the writer and music know-it-all, whose merciless skewering of rock’s elite made Buddyhead the most loved and feared source of music criticism online, was enjoying the comfort of his couch, hanging out with a friend and watching some stupid holiday movies when the phone rang. “Can you get us some cocaine?” asked the voices on the other end. Keller was sober and declined. But it was Jeordie White and Marilyn Manson and they pressed on, urging Keller to come hang out anyway.

When Keller arrived in West Hollywood at the Le Montrose suite, Manson answered the door, nearly unrecognizable. The shock-rocker stood in the doorway, wearing a Von Dutch trucker cap — sideways — and a white shirt covered in stains, pulled over his beer belly. It was a far cry from the pancake makeup, flamboyant gothic attire or bondage gear associated with the frontman.

Keller busts into laughter as he retells the story, “I was like, ‘You’re Marilyn Manson?’ I remember thinking he’s going to come out with some kind of cape on. I’d never met him before and thought he’d be hanging out in a coffin. He’s nothing like that.”

Inside the suite, Keller recalls cocaine spilling off the kitchen counter while a superparanoid Manson ran around in circles repeating, “Travis, don’t try to fuck my girlfriend. Travis, don’t try to fuck my girlfriend.” The off-limits girlfriend was a certain young actress, then just 20 years old. “They called her ‘Snowflake’ because I guess when they played shows, she’d hold all the coke,” Keller claims.

While the rest of the party hoovered cocaine, Keller plugged his iPod into the stereo and cranked up Led Zeppelin. Manson told Keller he’d flown to the U.K. for the one Zeppelin reunion gig that November but got bored after the band played “Stairway to Heaven,” because it was the only song he knew. At that moment Manson may as well have painted a big, red target on his Von Dutch trucker cap. Keller exploded, “Poser! You’re in a rock band and you don’t know Led Zeppelin?”

He laughs. “Even my mom knows more Led Zeppelin songs than Manson. I wouldn’t let it die all night. I would turn on ‘Black Dog’ like, ‘Ever heard this song before, dork?’ The guy is a fucking retard."

Keller really covers himself in glory there

WOW.

I dunno that sounds like a really irritating party to be at, I would've turned on the assholishness too... altho why he went at all is kinda befuddling. coke parties, fuck that shit...

like how sad do you have to be to want to spend Xmas eve with a famous drug addled jerk you've never met

Dunno if I'd call Travis Keller famous exactly

haha
