He is more than wierd. He is dangerous. Charles Manson was a demon possessed man. I saw an interview with him several years ago where he claimed to be God and Satan in the same sentence, so any person who would want to take on the name of someone like that, produce a video in the home of murdered people by the Charles Manson, visit Manson's Satanist leader and take on any "Honorary" title from a Satanist, has got to be demon possessed himself. That makes him dangerous.

It's all an image for the public. A few years down the road he'll be playing golf with Alice Cooper.

The only thing that amazes me about Marilyn Manson is his ability to avoid death by drug overdose. When I was younger, I was intrigued by his behavior and would read whatever I came across about him because I thought that there had to be a reason why a person would turn out so screwed up. If it is all an act, it is sad that he couldnt come up with something better to find success in life. If it is not an act and what he projects is really the world that he lives in, what a tormented existence.

Weird and mad i think, can't even sing. Think all the drugs have seriously damaged his head. Mind you. i expect he has made a good living out of it.

His music is average and quite dull, and hes pretty much only in it for the image. I dont know why anyone would consider him attractive, nor is his music particularly heavy or dark.

WTF @ Marilyn Manson.
:|
His "music"=extremely overrated. He most certainly can't carry a tune.
He himself=extremely freakin' weird. I mean, I realize that normality is in the eye of the beholder, but to me, he's just plain creepy. No offense ot any of his fans...I just don't see what you see in this guy. :/

Marilyn Manson along with the Spooky Kids era is one of the best "orginal" works of art/music that I have ever encountered. Here I am reading the same comments over and over and over again. It's too much repition, I'm sure most of you have never listen to Marilyn Manson or its band memebers before. You don't think, you just speak what's on your mind, which I see as discrimination/prejuidice. Who's the real creep now? What gets me is a few decades ago those who liked ELVIS, THE ROLLING STONES, THE DOORS, MOZART, BLACK SABBATH...the list goes on were all rejected by the media and its close-minded public, yet overtime they were given respect, and Marilyn Manson has already carved his name into music/art history and is respected by hundreds of thousands of fans around the world and in other galaxies. His music is overrated? Have you really dissected his music and broke it down? I doubt it. He's a great person, one of the nicest musicians I've ever met/seen live in concert. He's not stupid, he's well educated and very intelligent. There's bigger problems in this world than to X@@##! about 1 musician and his band, and Manson himself has noted several things, yes he's actually a global activist and role model for many people. I'm hapy your 14 year daughter likes My GOD i~b~friendly. One thing for sure, he does not worship the devil or practice religion. I only joined this to post a real comment that was well thought of before looking like a lunatic. Peace im sure im hated too!

Good post above, yes plenty of artists were disliked at first and then became global icons and highly praised. But I dont think Manson will ever achieve that personally, but time will tell.
I havent listened to a great deal of his work, but Ive heard a fair selection of his songs, and Ive never found anything I could listen to alot. Most of the songs are quite repetitive and I dont find them all that well written. Mostly feels a bit generic to me, though perhaps Im not hearing his "original" work but I cant see anything particularly different in his stuff. But Seizure of Power is an amazing instrumental.
