Too bad Marilyn Manson is such a freak.

"he(Manson) is an insult to my Intelligence." -Glen Benton of Deicide.


I liked Manson, back when I was 12. Then when I was 16 I found myself heavily indulged in weed and Death Metal and haven't looked back yet.


And yes, he WAS a Reverend in the CoS. I've been a member for going on 6 years now I should know. He quit after his whole SatanicScare era got old.

Well I have met both Marilyn and Glen (from Deicide) and I can tell you that Manson's intelligence FAR surpases Glen's. I hope he said that as joke actually because otherwise he really made an ass of himself. Maybe he is just really jelous because Manson is a huge rock star. As for Manson's involvement with COS it is mostly because he met Anton LeVey. I think Manson agree's with allot of the doctrine but differs in their drive to manipulate people.

Riight. Glen blows that fucker away with Intelligence on Satanism as well as musical ability. Manson only did the whole Satanism bit for shock value. Fuckin' Glen LIVES IT.

 

[BigRedCat]

Has Glen hung out with or even ever met the creator of the COS? Manson has. Wow, I am impressed with a guy who LIVES satanism. haha.

I can see you equate technical musical ability with talent. Death metalers never like anything but death metal. So it goes.

 

[Necrophagia]

Why would he want to? There are several variations of Satanism. Modern/LaVeyan is just one aspect. Glen is a Traditional Satanist. Manson is neither. He's just a guy who hopped on the bandwagon to be scary.


And yes, I do equate ability with talent. Ya got it, or ya don't. Glen and Deicide got it. And I don't "only like Death Metal." I also love Black Metal, "epic power" Metal, Thrash, Heavy, speed, doom, and progressive metal. Like I said, I liked Manson when I was a pissed off kid. Then I disovered the real shit MTV wasn't pushing down everyones throats.

You must have a differant MTV. I cant recall seeing much Marilyn Manson on MTV.

No offense but "traditional" satanism is rediculous. You might as well be a vampire while your at it.

 

[Necrophagia]

He was all over MTV. Fuckin' "Sweet Dreams" was played 10 times a day, and "Dope Show" about 20.


Personally I have no problem with Trad Satanists.

if your into manson, you should check out some of his older shit. there is an album called "portrait of an american family", its a little different than what he has come out with in the last few years, but its kick ass, and i still listen to it all the time. there are also two singles off the album, "lunchbox", and "get your gunn", check those three out if your a fan of his and have not heard them yet.

 

[BigRedCat]

Yeah I first met him when he was in Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. I used to see them play in Florida quite often back when only 200-300 people would show up. They always had the look and sound of a band that was not going to stay local.

Marilyn is a freak....

BUT WHO MUSIC STILL SUCKS.
