Marilyn Manson - Born Villain

[dlb]

I meant no offense. If you don't feel like shelling out your hard earned dollars for that show than that's fine and no one can really argue about that. I for one am definitely going, but I think I can already say that I will have had better live experiences for far less money. Had I seen Zombie recently I might have let the opportunity pass, but it's been ages so I really want to see him and I take Manson as a nice extra.

No worries, I am not offended, and don't mean to appear hostile either. Just a bit disappointed this tour is so expensive. Power of the Riff (SunnO))), Pentagram, Agnostic Front, Winter, Poison Idea, Repulsion and a ton of other bands) is $36 a night over two nights, and I know it's going to be a much better show.

Here's MM butchering the ever loving hell out of some Doors covers...with the Doors.

He's butchering his own live songs on the current tour, so im not surprised

...At least it's not the "Days of the New" guy playing "The End"

Jason Sutter.

Jason Sutter.

thats kinda what i figured. its cool to see twiggy up there though. But i still feel like he could do alot better (musically,) than staying with Manson. Is he still in APC?

I agree. And no, he's not in APC. He's devoted full time to Manson. If it were up to me, he'd get back to working with Goon Moon. They're so much better than anything Manson has put out in recent years.

[Harry Seaward]

Also, there should be a new video here, any minute now.

[october_midnight]

Well, that video was....kinda dull.

[Harry Seaward]

Completely void of any thought or commentary, but it's visually fantastic imo.

[Conan The Barbarian]

Pretty neat.

[LaneSax]

colorful indeed, think No Reflection video was better though

[SM Rollinger]

looks cool

i just have such a hard time getting into MM since around TGAOG days, not only has the music been on a downhill slide, but the lyrics lack any real thoughtfullness anymore (@ least compared to the earlier stuff). maybe hes just ran out of ideas? or the drug abuse? i hate to say this, but in 10 years hes gonna end up like poor al jourgensen

Initial thoughts on the new video:

"I. CAN'T."

[Space Suicide]

I like the music video. Nay I say, to me, it's the best video since Putting Holes in Happiness.

[Highly Psychological]

That is one of the most dreary, flat, dull songs i have heard in a long time. its really, really boring?? The director must have a really powerful enthusiastic imagination if he can get that inspired by that dirge. Wtf The track is just a crap voice droning??? Not one note of the music goes anywhere?
I wonder what the director is like with a good song?

The director was Spoiler: Marilyn Manson.

[Highly Psychological]

Oh my god lol seriously? He directed that video? Wow. Him? Song is still undeniably boring though.

Disclaimer: I like the album and am a 'fan'

This video is horrible. Firstly, I wouldn't have picked this as a single. (Born Villain, Children of Cain or Lay down... would have been better).

Secondly, after the NR video, I really hoped he was over the 'film me standing there trying to look menacing, reaching out to the camera' style or music video.

Thirdly, the masked gunman opening up on the public seems like a desperate grab for attention following Aurora. Even if this was shot before (Wikipedia suggests it was shot a couple of weeks back), including that in this video is either disrespectful or pathetic (probably both).

There were some positives to take away - the use of florescent paint was cool (although I'd seen it before, rather recently) and the direction was pretty good considering the tired and crappy concept, which shows that he isn't completely useless.

The bulk of the video could have been shot before and that bit was tacked on maybe. His recent comments on the shooting were not at all like his considered comments after Columbine:

[Conan The Barbarian]

Someone needs to tell him that being a drunk is not funny. Ugh.

[Sutekh]

The flourescent paint thing was done ages ago by antiproduct and punish yourself

The Goon Moon LP feels more like Manson than the past few Manson albums... I really wish Goon would support MM, seems to make sense seeing as they have more or less the same lineup

I like his music a lot still but my views and opinions of him as a person has waned entirely. He is like a 180 in the way he acts, talks and is. I'm sure if 1997 Manson saw himself how he acts and is today he'd get laughed out of the building.

EVERYTHING YOU DO IS A PIECE OF A PLANE
PLUMMETING TOWARDS A PITIFUL, DYING EARTH
BUT YOUR ART, WHAT YOU CREATE
IS STEPPING ONTO THE BURNING WING
AND FORGETTING SILLY THINGS
LIKE LIFE AND DEATH
FOR A MOMENT
JUST TO ENJOY FOR ONE SECOND
A GLIMPSE OF BEAUTY
BEFORE YOU ARE REDUCED TO ASHES
