Marilyn Manson

Will try.
I completely lost track after mechanical animals.

Fun fact my mom threw away my CDs of him because they were "duiwelse musiek".
Looking at the covers now(actually ridiculous "gogga maak vir baba bang" stuff), I don't blame her.

I find a lot of the recent stuff actually harks back to similar vibes of Mechanical Animals.

Mechanical Animals to this day is his best work. I actually find it very hard to listen to anything that came before that as it was a bit too on the nose and shock value oriented rather than intelligent.

As of MA and beyond the political and society commentary has become a lot more clever and a little more subtle.

Artistically he’s the likes of Freddie Mercury when it comes to blending genres.

I mean a gospel choir in I Don’t Like The Drugs combined with that baseline and almost 80’s glam pop overtones? That’s some genius right there.

Had the pleasure of seeing MM (and Johnny Depp) live.

Antichrist Superstar! 1996

This music was way to good for it's time.

F#CK YOU VEVO. Jesus!

Yeah, but it hasn’t quite lived up to the test of time.

Even the hits like Beautiful People and Sweet Dreams don’t quite live up to a modern standard of quality.

Marilyn’s own music puts his older work in the shade.

I think it has to do with taste difference. For me this is still way better than nearly all modern shyte.

I don’t disagree.

I’m referring rather to within the realm of MM’s own music.

One of my favorite things about that track .

Ah I understand. Technically it’s better music today if you take a band like Marilyn Manson, though music taste and popularity works in weird ways.

Ever had sex during a MM song?

It's still Friday I'm allowed.

Yes. Sweet Dreams.

 

[Moosedrool]

Yes. Sweet Dreams.

It just works.

Also this. I envy you.

He's trying a David Bowie thing here.

Saw him live a few years ago. He was really bad! Must see if I can dig up some photos I took.

 

[maumau]

New track.
Not really feeling it.

Listenable. And his videos never disappoint.
