________________________________________________________________________________

everyone has an opinion on marilyn manson , and i want to know what yours is .

personally i've always found him fascinating , but i'm too scared to find creepy references or weird images in his videos that i've never got into his music . i love "the nobodies" , but that's all O_O;

i'm sure someone must be a fan , and someone must know something about him .

all i know is that i think his style is amazing . i started thinking about him again recently when i got sent a giant postcard-type thing from vivienne westwood with him modelling for "vivienne westwood man" . gorgeous . his videos (the few i've seen ) all make him look so beautiful , too .

definitely interesting . i wanted to see his tour but was a bit too scared .

so , marilyn manson - what do you think ?

[Guest Oresama]

omg i LOVE him !!

his like the cooliest in my opinion <33

his styles are mad

i love his glass eye !! *fans self*

peace out

[Guest vividified]

well his unique ay..

:| i dont really have much of an opinion of him, he comes off freaky to me

his music is okay..

[Guest idyllic]

he's awesome. went to one of his tours. awesome.

guns, god, and government dvd is awesome with a live tour, porn in the backstage, and everything. viva la duff.

[Rosencrantz]

Personally, he scares the sh.it outta me.

[Guest girl armageddon]

i dislike him with a PASSION.

his writing is subpar in all honesty. the only song i even like by him is (s)AINT .

all the things he's done are getting old. there's nothing shocking at all about him. he's turning monotonous. he's egotistical. he wrote a column in spin about the bar across the eyes that many artists have been wearing(gerard way, karen o., michael stipe(?)) and how he "created" it whereas he just drew from several influences. you didn't create it if someone else did it before you did. god.

i just dislike him a lot. i can't say i hate the man since he is bearable.

[Guest putasmileon]

Personally, he scares the sh.it outta me.

[Guest xosandy]

i've always thought he was creepy. err.. i've never really liked his music.

[Guest cyberfruit]

I don't lurve him but I do like his music and he's a very intellegent man so that's also appealing about him.

He and his wife, Dita Von Teese, will make the palest children EVER.

[Guest azn_seraph]

Well his musics okay, He looks really unique too.

Guess thats why hes a model for Vivienne Westwood

[Guest RockStar17]

I'm not much of a fan, I like only a few songs by him

[Guest seraphic.shot]

i like his music. he's like one of the few artists/bands, that i can recognize by face. all the other people all look the same to me.

[Guest ooo_it's_mE]

I don't like him.

the only thing I've ever liked from him was mOBSCENE and that's only cause I love the dancing in the video.

[Guest empress727]

He and his wife, Dita Von Teese, will make the palest children EVER.

^LOL so true though!!!

he..........scares me. ive seen only seen his mobscene video and listened for like 2 of his songs. i'm still scared.

...i find him very intelligent though. interesting little fella. oh, and he looks so harmless without any makeup.

[Guest desertseatingoceans]

I enjoy some of his songs but I don't know about love. I LOVE Gackt. I think he's very intelligent individual.

[Guest EMA]

oh, and he looks so harmless without any makeup.

do you think so ?

this guy looks pretty creepy to me

i wouldn't sit next to him on the bus xP

i'm really excited about the film marilyn is going to direct / star in with lily cole , but i'll be too frightened to see it .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHANTASMAGORI...Lewis_Carroll#3

ps is this really him , do we think ? he looks so cheerful .

pps youtube has some good interviews (none very high quality) . check out the one w letterman . aslkhafa letterman is so pretentious .

[xiaoba0bao]

^-- lol he looks like a wannabe hide

[Guest bonbons]

^ XD hahah he does

marilyn is kinda odd...lol i guess that is why he's so great XD

[Guest tasty]

his pictures are what makes me intrigued by him

i've only heard one song, and that was in year eight music class where we were forced to, hahaha

i've always found him interesting but i finally decided to do some 'research' (wikipedia, handy. lol). omg, i didn't know his name/and band/whatever was a 'portmanteau of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson'

[Guest EMA]

^ yeah i thought that was really interesting , too . i think it's something about trying to combine influential aspects of positive and negative pop and counter cultures , respectively , and that's what he feels he embodies ?

^-- lol he looks like a wannabe hide

ahaha he does x] i just saw a little doco of him in japan actually (4-parts on youtube if anyone's interested) , and he seems to love the people there - maybe hide inspired him or not , but he does look very hide-esque

side note , apparently he was blamed for columbine ? does anyone know more about that ?
