I like his song "Turniquette" and his "I dont like the
drugs" vide is pretty damn cool too.....he is plaining a
collaboration with Miss Kitten & Anthony Rother....

his cover versions are, to a one, crap, it seems to me.

however, I have toyed with the possibility that this is
deliberate on his part.

a troublesome album..

kind of like it, but also feel kind of childish when
listening - "yeah yeah, the worm, antichrist, blah blah
blah"

do like "dirty rockstar" - is it called that?

i used to like it a few years back.
but then i discovered he was doing the same thing over and
over. and i started to dislike rock music because of its
stupidity (just my opinion).
i hate these poor alternative rock kids who try to look like
marilyn manson. if he dressed out in a pink bucket all of
these kids would do it. its actually a bit amusing.

Pfff. Nothing NIN and his like haven't done already, only
with more consistency in quality and artistic growth.

Antichrist Superstar was a half decent album...mostly
because of Trent probably

tourniquet, that song bothers me to no ends. its sort of
enjoyable, but gets old. it feels, to me, like it drags on
forever, even though its only 4 minutes and 29 seconds.
dried up tied up and dead to the world is probably the track
that pulled me into the album.

NIN has the same problem - you feel like you're listening to
a whining pubescent, lyric-wise..

I do love NIN though.. much better than Mary Manson.

ACS is one dope album. trent practically did it for him
(well, trent and nin members chris vrenna, charlie clouser,
etc.). highly recommended to any nin fan, it's kinda like a
missing album? if you wonder what nin would've sounded like
after TDS but before the fragile. i don't own or care to own
any other manson albums, this one's good enough for me. as
for manson the person, "he a smart muthafucka." he came
across very intelligent and sensible in bowling for
columbine (michael moore's new film). time to fuck, cya
later!

not a big fan, his rage is wonderful sometimes, and tiring

ripped of the mighty Nitzer Ebb & Front 242

it's his best album and MM didn't rip off NIN! NIN MADE MM!


it's all been downhill since that album! he sure did put on
a good show with that tour! it's up there as one of the most
entertaining... god I haven't listend to that album in AGES!
I might have to dig around for it.

trent reznor produced antichrist superstar and his previous

statement that NIN made MM.

Yeah, Trent knows his shit about music, Manson took Trents
wisdom about it and made it in a weird fucked up crazy way,
but its still music...NIN did make Manson who he is. I
completely agree.

''NIN has the same problem - you feel like you're listening

I feel the same way... love the music, but I wish he'd shut
his mouth sometimes, he makes me cringe more often than I'd
like to...

I don't like Manson much, but I respect his work... his
''image'' and all that are an immediate turn off.

Manson is all image as far as I'm concerned... and so no, I
haven't listened to much by him, but I haven't had any
desire... I bought The Fragile by NIN last year to see what
all the fuss about NIN was about, and it's really not my
thing... I only listened to it a few times... and those were
me trying to force myself into liking an album I paid 30
bucks or so for... I really should sell that one!

yea some of NIN can rub off that way... but he does come up
with some of the best instrumentals! I think his
instrumentals are the best of his work! he should put out an
album with no vocals! hahah I bet most of you would love
that.

yes, marilyn manson ( & the band) is quite very talented as
singers/songwriters/composers/entertainers...he's pretty up
there with the likes of NIN, Tool, and other good
bands......
i would say -----
"Antichrist Superstar" is to "The Downward Spiral"
-as- "Holy Wood" is to "The Fragile"

i enjoy both as equal.....but I must say NIN has got to be
the winner there.

i think almost every song from him is great. ive got all his
albums, and i think he's ok...but i really dont like to see
him do bad movies soundtracks (although hes not the most
underground artist ever)
im sure he will soon be very bad in his musical choices, and
then he wont exist anymore....

i agree for antichrist superstar and the downward spiral,
but i think you're insulting the fragile by comparing it to
holy wood...
or maybe that's just me. ' _ '

i listened to holy wood again (glad i have it on mp3 only)
lately, and sounded like shit to me... especially compared
to A?SS and MA. and his cover of tainted love is just plain
horrible (please, go listen to coil's one instead!!).

i love all of NIN i listened to, except for deep. i liked
aatchb very much.
for MM, antichrist superstar and mechanical animals were
great but i don't really expect anything good from him
again... (will check out the golden age of grotesque, in
case it is good, but i doubt it.)

i think it is interesting to compare antichrist superstar to
downward spiral, as they seem to be two different issues of
a similar story...

on both albums, the main character feels hate against the
world, is beaten down by people, etc. (very original... erm
^^), but in downward spiral he has no self control nor
control of the situation, and it's all downhill from all
points of view for him. maybe at the end he manages to find
some sort of peace, but a very sad peace... it's not very
clear, 'hurt' can be interpreted in many ways...

whereas in antichrist superstar, the character manages to
get control of the world he hates in some way. what's wrong
is that he doesn't control himself... and that's what will
cause his (bad) ending. but the story in acss doesn't really
end, it just starts over again (track 99), it's endless...
(besides the acss symbol can be interpreted as 'endless
fight').

i agree with the lyrics being somewhat childish (and some
marilyn manson fans being so stupid, would almost disgust me
from liking manson... almost), but still, there is a depth
into these two albums, and many interpretations possible.
