Yes! That's exactly what gets me, too. When I hear my sister say, "Oh, Marilyn Manson is speaking the truth," I get so discouraged. MM stands for all the same poor values and lack of integrity as the backstreet boys, they just have different ways of expressing it.
Why do people easily see through the veil of gimmickitude that is the backstreet boys but they think marilyn manson is the voice of the generation?

Alice Cooper
I'm not overly thrilled with M M for a number of reasons:
1. If Reznor produces the record, it will be decent. If not, it'll be noise.
2. Brad's treatment of Rose McGowen. (I don't care what kind of person she is, that just was not right)
3. Alice Cooper did it better
4. Alice Cooper can kick his ass
5. I would respect him if he were a member of the Temple of the
Set...Anton LeVay's Church of Satan is a lot of smoke and noise.
6. Coke makes you do *very* stupid things
other than that...Twiggy Rameriz is a god

Well, I wouldn't say "people" but it certainly affects some of the less interesting members of society.
You know who Manson reminds me of? those people who sprung up in the late 60's who thought that wearing a tye-dyed shirt and smoking weed made you an activist.

I thought so! I recognized the guy, but the mech looked unfamiliar.

I think it was Everlast who quoted:
"The Backstreet Boys and Britany Spears have ruined and corrupted the US more than Marilyn Manson ever could."
Personally, I think he is cool. Funny.

Finally a couple of people agree with me...

I agree with you totally
Marilyn Manson is some of best damn music I ever heard.
The lyrics are just awesome.
I think that's part of the reason some people don't like him, he tells it like is, calls them the way he sees 'em.
"Speed of pain" is one of the better songs on Mechanial Animals.
I like "post-human" myself.

I'm on the fence about him. I don't particularily like his music but I do give him credit for having the balls to say alot of things others are too PC to say. I am completely mesmerized watching him... almost like watching a horrible, grotesque car wreck... while you're sickened by it, you can't take your eyes off it.

I personally think he is wonderful. And he is NOT a satanist, he openly admits to not being one. I think he does have some of the very best music ever. And as for others who don't like him, that is fine, we all have our favorites. But please, don't embarrass yourself by putting him down for something you know nothing about (ebw specificly). I despise these teeny bopper little children so called singers who I might add do NOT write any of their own songs and couldn't if their lives depended on it. But I do not usualy go around trashing them for it. Flame me for speaking my opinion, I don't care!

Antichrist Superstar was the first album I ever bought,
I still listen to it occasionally for comedy value - a
normal guy called Brian causing a whole lot of fuss by
playing up to society's fears. The music is much better
than your average chart toss, and the lyrics are more
interesting, not to say I agree with them all but I'm
certainly not offended - to be offended would play into
his little plan for world domination.

For my daughters 24th birthday she wanted me to go with her to a MM concert. Me, of the Moody Blues, Bread and Sting set. I wanted to make her happy so I went armed with ear plugs and Ativan. The two hour wait to get in was a people watchers Mecca. The concert swept me away.
I agree he is gimmicky as they get but as Gypsy Rose Lee said, "Ya gotta have a gimmic." In this day of hot, fast and cheap you have to hook the public fast and hard. He does that. He has also provided a place for youth to work through all of that angst some have before they have to conform to the suit and tie briggade. Every generation has it's bad boy.
I live in a pink and pretty PC world and found this experience very energizing.

Marilyn Manson is an absolutely brilliant man…
And he does nothing without purpose..
He does nothing to stop them from painting him into an evil cartoon. (Remember Crowley)
Is our World not falling apart?
Are we not destroying ourselves in the process?
We sell the wood from our floating boat just to make a profit..
And now we are sinking down into the water in the process.
But hey..
He isn’t singing:
“Girl…Be my girl, girl…”
But of course he is misunderstood…
Of course the masses bury him..
Paint him black.
Bound to happen...
Because it's a great big white world
And we are drained of our colors...
We used to love ourselves,
We used to love one another

Well Black_Bird, personally I had never cared for anything that Manson did. I thought he was talentless and just like the 100`s of others who want their 15 minutes of fame in the music world. However, about a month ago a girl I am friends with had me listen to a few songs all the way through and I immediately bought AntiChrist Superstar and Holywood. I admit I like his lyrics and he seems to be a good entertainer in general. Though I tend to always go for stuff that society thinks is horrible. I just don`t see how people can honestly be offended by him or any other musical act for that matter ( icp,eminem,2 live crew,etc.). Anyway, I guess I have been trying to say I agree with you. His lyrics are written very well in my opinion. Later.
