As *The New Radicals *said back in 1998, “Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson, you’re all fakes…”
That’s the thing that’s making me begin to feel old at 24. All my favorite artists from the 90s are suddenly in their mid to late 30s or even 40s. It’s crazy man. And the new stuff sucks. Give me Alice in Chains (really Layne Staley IMO IDK about their new stuff) or Chris Cornell or Scott Weiland or Dave Grohl any day.
Heh, Korn and Rob Zombie never made an album as good as Antichrist Superstar or Mechanical Animals.
The only posers are the metalheads who 15 years later still think they are cooler because they liked Korn instead of Marilyn Manson. ;p
All the people I know who made fun of Manson made fun of Korn as well.
I always preferred Nine Inch Nails. Manson WISHES he had half the talent Trent Reznor has in his toe-nail clippings.
He did a porn shoot with Marilyn Starr. I know this because I knew Marilyn Starr. 
Trent makes better music, Manson writes better lyrics. Trents lyrics are the most puerile lyrics ever in music. Mind you it’s not saying much. I say this and I was a much bigger NIN fan than I ever was of Manson.
Heh, and the New Radicals are bigger posers than any of them. Nothing like your one hit wonder top 40 over produced music video hit being filmed in a mall and being a whiney diatribe against pop consumerism.
I like both, as you may know Marilyn Manson was the first band signed to Trent’s “Nothing” label, and Trent produced several of Marilyn Manson’s albums.
I’m aware of that. I still say that compared to NIN, Manson’s a complete joke.
Being the spawn of Satan adds 10 years. That and there’s no nutritional value in babies.
There’s a lot of truth in that statement which is bit surprising because Manson has always struck me as someone who’s rather savvy. At least Trent Reznor has musically changed a bit from the mid 90s but Manson hasn’t progressed much beyond his “Antichrist Superstar” act he debuted with. This is rather disappointing because, in addition to Alice Cooper, David Bowie is as much an influence on Manson in terms of creating an on-stage persona. The big difference is that Bowie always knew when to change his persona before people got too tired (or even too accustomed) to it. If he had been like Manson, Bowie would’ve spent the last 35 years playing Ziggy Stardust.
