Know what pisses me off about Manson? When you see him at festivals where he only has a certain amount of time rather than a full set? He rolls out the covers. His original work is (forget the last 10 years) really decent, he doesn't need to bring out Depeche Mode and Eurythmics.

couldn't agree more. the covers are cool, but his original work is tits.

I have never been to a Manson show, it's on the list.

Don't quote me on this because I'm probably wrong but didn't Guns, Gods and Government have its 25 year anniversary recently?
So many of his tracks I still listen to regularly.

same. listened to HolyWood this morning. the tour was around 2000, so pretty close.

haven't listened to anything after Golden Age of Grotesque as much as I did his previous work.

I posted a Guns, God & Govt concert vid in the 'what are you listening to' thread few weeks back. great show.

I had the DVD of that show. Always wondered how he never fell off those stilts, haha.

So many people just think he's in it purely for shock factor but then you listen to Coma White and that flies out the window.

Golden Age was still good ish Manson, but I think since then all I've really liked was Heart Shaped Glasses. I'm not being snobby, he just doesn't hold the same thrall he once had.

If he covers Bowie I'm going postal.

I used to think that way until I finally listened to him.

not snobby at all, I started losing interest (not sure why) around Golden Age, just didn't resonate with me like Portrait, Anti-christ, etc. did.

re: Coma White - great song. I loved Mechanical Animals & IIRC that album took a lot of shit from Manson fans.

Damn you.

Dude's bagged some absolute stunners too. Dita, McGowan (at the time) and Wood are beatiful looking women, and he's hardly a good looking guy.
