My mom likes these types of shows, I might watch it if I remember by then. I wonder if his is about the Sharon Tate house? Has he or anyone in NIN said anything about seeing things there? I remember on Ghost Hunters or something, they went to a house near it and found activity. Or has Manson said anything at all about other paranormal/ghost stuff?

Are you implying there's a difference between, say, Coca-Cola and MTV? Frankly, I have less antipathy for the former.

Fair call I suppose, though at least MTV put his music out there and generally acts as a celebration of his music and art. I dunno, being on a show like this just makes me cringe :/

This should be a bit of fun, Manson has spoken about the supernatural on many occasions, I guess most notably in his Autobiography. But The Heirophant's Everyone Will Suffer Now springs to mind when discussing the odd coincidence of reuniting with Twiggy guided by images of David Bowie and Syd Barrett (their musical heroes, respectively).
There's a Media Archive interview here somewhere with Twiggy talking about the peculiar atmosphere at the Houdini Mansion during the Holy Wood sessions, he believed there was definitely something paranormal happening there, similar to Cielo Drive.

As with most things, I don't personally see what there is to get pissed off about, it's hardly the most serious TV appearance Manson's ever done, but if we're talking exploitative, formulaic shows that are maybe "beneath" Manson's vocal and artistic abilities, then I guess we should condemn Phil Donahue, TRL, Top Of The Pops, Tim And Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job!, Sharon Osbourne, The O'Reilly Factor, Popworld, Graham Norton, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera...
Incidentally, regardless of their common broadcasts, Manson was generally engaging and interesting to listen to in all those cases. Anyway, it's just a TV spot, it might be a giggle.

What exactly is this show? I mean, what would a typical episode comprise? It's a show I've never heard of before.

Like S.D. said, I don't think this is anything to get pissed off over, it's just a bit of fun and Manson's discussed supernatural, paranormal things before, so it's not a shocking revelation.

I still don't see any mention anywhere of when the episode will air with Marilyn Manson in it. But they do have a promo trailer up on the Bio website for the new series which has a very small clip of Manson.

Cringeon

He's looking quite good. I'll see if I can dig up an air date on the episode he'll appear on. One thing that is popular in this series is that those with multiple stories might actually show up across multiple episodes. So while he probably only sat down to record with them once, if he had a lot of stuff to say they might have him showcased more than once.

Imperioli would be fascinating to see. He was masterful on the sopranos.

As well, I am wondering if any of these episodes would be available on netflix or YouTube. I don't have anything other than network tv, so I wouldn't be able to see them unless my friend, who does have dish tv, would want to watch em at some point..

Cringeon

07-21-2010, 11:32 AM

No, Manson's episode hasn't been shown yet. I checked the TV guide and he's not listed at least a week out so it'll be a little bit until it gets shown. I'll be sure to post the exact air date once I see it posted.

Christina

07-22-2010, 03:20 PM

I get my fix with Ghost Hunters. I'm not much for those shows about entertainers. They bore me.

And the response I was referring to was when I asked if he'd been on that show yet and no one said shit 'til Allypussy said something. (No offense Allykitty, I'm mad at them not you :)

So.... yeah!

Based off the length of the clip, I'm guessing this is just an online exclusive that didn't get worked into the episode. The way this show runs, I'm guessing MM will have the typical longer amount of screen time (mixed with somewhat reinactments of the story being told). They usually have 3-4 guests on the show (which runs an hour) so they have 15-20 minutes of actual time with each guest.

There is nothing supernatural anywhere in the universe. What haunts our dreams is merely an element of the natural that our domain of understanding has not yet claimed. The universe is a complex machine and human science is an incomplete instruction manual, constantly being rewritten. Skepticism is a vital catalyst for discovery, but denial without conclusivity yields nothing and is an affront to the very nature of science. There is nothing wrong with saying "I don't know," because it is always followed by a "yet".

To say there is no such thing as "ghosts" in the universe, or that there is no possibilty of an energy or force beyond what we currently understand is to say that we have figured out all there is to know about not only our existance, what is before and after death, but also everything about the universe and everything within.

I personally believe there are forces beyond our comprehension, and I'm not saying in a "god" sense, but there is something that runs deeper and ties us all together with the world we live in and leads me to have a firm belief that there are things/forces/energies greater than us. From personal experience, I do believe that energy from people who have sense passed on can definitely leave lasting impressions not only in individuals but even in just their comfortable surroundings. Not to say ghosts are creatures that choose to "live" out their afterlife by inhabiting houses, but I do think that a person's energy can definitely hang around after they die.

Hexon.Arq

07-30-2010, 12:28 PM

That's why its called the 'super'natural.

I meant that at some point it will cease to be considered 'super' because that's been the trend all throughout history. If the phenomenon known as "ghosts" is not merely the power of the mind engaging in arbitrary and intense activity, then in due course whatever it is will become as unfazing as gravity or evolution. The ascription to either benevolent, malevolent, or otherwise sentient forces seems premature to me; we could be looking at something more closely connected to something in the nature of time itself.

Not Mechanical

07-30-2010, 12:48 PM

Arguments between those who believe and those who don't are fruitless. People get passionate about it and don't listen to the other side. Not saying that's true here, it's just something I've observed.

I'm quite firmly a sceptic, I've had no personal experiences and seen absolutely no convincing evidence. Derren Brown did a fantastic series earlier this year called Derren Brown Investigates, where he spent time with a psychic, ghost hunter and a few other people, and although he's a self proclaimed sceptic, they were quite well balanced, investigating these people's claims and exploring other possibilities, very informative, I wish I could find it online.

Well, since this thread has already become a personal discussion, I'll add that even though I sometimes catch myself being an "I-won't-believe-until-I-see" type of person, I do believe that there are a lot of things we're not fully aware of or able to understand, at least at this point. History shows best that even when we think we already know a lot about our world / reality, it's quite possible that there's much more to discover.
Plus, what makes me even more likely to believe in the "unexplainable" is my own experience from when I was 6; playing hide and seek with my childhood friend in her house, which she claimed to be haunted. Though she didn't inform me about that until I told her about my unpleasant encounter.

Yeah I see that. I'm sure this thread will get back on track when MM's episode is shown.

If someone wants to start a general thread for this topic, it might be a good idea.

Thanks to Miss Sabine at Babalon, she found this blog from the guy who played teenage MM in the episode -

"There is a change of plan now. The network would like the Marilyn Manson story be in the season premiere on Oct 30. A better fit to have Marilyn Manson's story right before Halloween! I'll keep you posted. Thank you."

My question is exactly how nuclear is the online Manson family, that someone was able to find a blog of a random, obscure actor who happened to play "Teenage Manson" for a 10 minute segment? Jesus fucking Christ, nothing suprises me anymore. Maybe this ghost killed his Aluesha. I have no idea. Perhaps the ghost was MANSONS DOG?

P.S. - I'm not being cynical, but I can almost garauntee that this "Ghost Story" will be a prevaricate, self musing, deadpan inside joke. ;)

I certainly hope that you mean 'as an inside joke' in terms of it simply being funny, considering manson's character, but i hope you do not mean it in the context of being under-educated in the world of spirits. They are real. But if you think not, it's simply because you have failed to encounter one. I know that's a bit of a bible style come back, but in this case it's worth more than even i can account for.

I do not wish to begin a debate upon whether or not 'ghosts' are real, but I can agree with shangri-lie in the sense that Manson is far too logical and intelligent to truely entertain the thought of this. My opinion is that it's superstitious nonsense. And I have a feeling Manson agrees. I think this episode is purely for fun and to live up to the publics idea of Manson being some how in touch with the so called spirit world and an attraction for such ghosts.

On another note, I have not been here lately and have not read much of this...but out of curiosity, why does anyone care when this episode is released? Hasnt it already been released or bootlegged or something on youtube? or was that not the full episode? if it is, I see no reason to even watch it, except for..if you want to tape it, or for the fun in seeing your favourite rock star on television.

Cringeon

The release online was a web only feature that the network puts up, sort of like online promo/advertising. The actual interviews are around 15-
20mins in length (it's usually 3-4 stories split up in the 1 hour show).

MansonWiki now have the episode up on their website. Scroll down to their featured video section to watch it.

http://www.mansonwiki.com/

It's sort of cool, but doesn't actually sound scary to me.
I guess it's one of those things where you would of had to of been there.

It was interesting. According to my knowledge, if negative 'spirits' exist - then they follow or 'latch' themselves to people for an undisclosed amount of their lives. Perhaps this force there is what influenced Manson furthermore and gave his works such unique power? After all the band did dabble in the occult reaching into these sort of elements during Antichrist Superstar's recording. I could be looking into this too far, but the guy, aside from fame as an artist, has had a pretty miserable life.

It is just mere speculation but a thought nonetheless. And there is plenty of things for people to read out there that would steer their interpretation of this story to what I've just mentioned, so go and seek and research if inclined.
