Default Alice Cooper or Marylin Manson
Okay, I'm working on my soon to be member's journal and I'm thinking about the uproar over Marilyn Manson from some years back. I'm also old enough to remember that parents weren't all that crazy about Alice Cooper in his heyday either.


So I guess I'm asking who do you think was more shocking, Alice Cooper or Marilyn Manson?

Alice Cooper by far. Better and more shocking. We’re talking like 20 years earlier.

The correct answer: ICP.

I guess you would have to say that anything Manson did was, or could have been, copied from Cooper, so since Alice was the original of the two, Alice all the way.

From the perspective of shock value against the current culture AC Vs ICP is more interesting.

Honestly yes, and I'm not just putting forward my own random choice. Alice Cooper was clearly huge for his time, but Marilyn Manson had a very limited time period when that sort of quasi-metal was valid and after that he was basically irrelevant and didn't have the creativity to keep up with the times. But ICP took everything Cooper did and made it into a movement using a personality that even Cooper arguably never even reached.

Granted, ICP had their own due-by-date as far as the mainstream was concerned, but had a basic quality and ability to evolve that kept them going for a far longer period than Manson or even Cooper, and has continued to be relevant to a far larger contingent than either other artist could ever hope to cope with. So I'd say that as far as cheesy shock artists are concerned, ICP wins kinda by a mile. And yeah I'm even including GWAR.

yeah but that's all totally irrelevant. the question was who was more shocking, not who was more relevant or who was bigger. sure, alice cooper did it for longer. but during his initial rise Marilyn Manson was ****ing nuts.

edit - i hope nobody read this pre-edit, shocking typos.

Actually, he really wasn’t.
