ive been thinking about this for a while and forgot wether it was true or not so i looked it up and i thought i should tell you all mailyn manson is not a person but a band(ooooo eeeeeeeeeee wooooooooow) we've all been refering to brian warner

lol ^ gasp.

The thing about Marilyn Manson is that he uses all these gimmicks just to lure rebellious teenagers to listen to his music. It's really quite brilliant, actually.

(I don't know if my wording of all that expressed exactly what I wanted to express, but oh well.)

he not they and yeah its kinda the same thing as a metal anti-flag in that sense

I'll agree, I think Marilyn Manson is destined to appeal to certain teenagers, who have a different outlook, but I don't know if that was necessarily his intention all along. Let's put it this way, he has a very strange personality to begin with that he wouldn't be able to fake, and if he did, he wouldn't be able to sell it as well.

and an s to the end of he

Marliyn Manson...
 

Who here has seen him live (what did you think). I saw him last night with Slayer and...WOW that is one sick demented person and I love it. One HELL of a performer.

Indeed I think you are corrct. Manson, to me, is just an ok musician, and I feel I could like him more if not for the cheezy gimmicks. I accept gimmicks in bands when done to proper moderation....Eddie from Iron Maiden, the Anti-christ angle from Slayer, etc. etc., but then some artists wrap themselves in their gimmick so much that, no matter how good they may be, it just turns me off. KISS and the whole marketing thing they got going is another good example to add to the Manson example. And like KISS' marketing being brilliant, you again hit the nail on the head Manson is brilliant for his gimmick. He will never sell records as much as he did at the height of his career, but the gimmick ensures he will always attract certain angst filled individuals that will ensure at the very least he reaches cult status.

Generally, although Marilyn Manson has good music I totally disagree with his style...

music can be interpreted in a lot of different ways and the artist shouldnt be held responisble for the way someone interprets their music.
however, marilyn manson is a terrible musician and his stuff sucks
