You can be shocking without the intent of being shocking. I mean, its not like Elvis set out to be shocking when he performed his record company's music. And a lot of the controversy he caused was censored so not many people knew he was so controversial to society's norms until someone pointed it out later on.
Desire is pain, eating away the worm in the brain ... Frontiers are coming down between body and soul, abrasive, insane, putting away the spark in the brain. Our flesh burns in mysterious ways.
Like the first of sins, there is no one to blame. The earth grew wet on the seventh day. And we sit down for a feast of hate. We eat each other in a twist of fate.
I get that you are trying to prove a point here, and honestly... it's cute, but you are not doing a very good job. Your opinion is that... what? Manson didn't set out to shock people? And you're using some little, short interview you asked someone to find for you on Youtube as documentation of MM saying that he wasn't trying to shock people.Originally Posted by Manson15Marilyn
We GET it. You're not even saying anything anymore.
Gosh.
Well, people are so thoroughly convinced that he was out to shock people because of what the TV told them. So convinced, that they will even dismiss what the man himself said about his intentions--past and present--and keep on repeating the TV's tired rhetoric.

Yeah, and your answer was marked "wrong" with a big red check mark. Use someone who isn't doing fucking Mountain Dew commercials already and has a shred of talent instead.

Public opinion based on comments made by some news pundits and religious nut jobs doesn't denote truth.

"Ever since Epicurious compared my absinthe ‘Mansinthe’ to ‘sewage water or swamp mud,’ sales have dropped. That’s fine with me, it still get’s the farm animals drunk, which is good times for me (I won’t digress).
So, we’ve removed the alcohol, added some sweat from by balls, and have teamed up with Mountain Dew to create their newest flavor: Teabag 1000.
For those who don’t know, Teabaggin’ is when somebody (me) lowers their sack into someone else’s (the critic at Epicurious) mouth. I can already imagine the review: “A complex scent: very nutty, with a faint redolence of choad.”
So come get some Teabag 1000. We removed all the pubes."
“Last words are for those fools who believe they have not yet said enough...”It's a stupid idea to hit yourself in the face to kill a fly crawling on it.
the Lady Gaga comparison is accurate in the sense that she's stolen so many of his stylistic cues
but overall, pop music has savagely burgled Marilyn Manson for years and rarely if ever offers any credit for it
I disagree. Who exactly borrows from Manson? He wasn't even really that original to begin with.
not borrows, it's outright theft. just watch any number of recent pop videos from folks like Gaga, Rihanna, etc. and you'll see pretty obvious examples.
and if you want to say he stole from others, that's fine, but the folks who've incorporated his aesthetic sense have lifted it straight from Manson.
