October 28, 200618 yr I liked Marilyn's album, Lest We Forget ^_^ That's a best of album. Get Portrait Of An American Family or Antichrist Superstar. ^_^ I agree with Graham that we have far worse things to worry about in the world than a band.

October 28, 200618 yr MCR's singer/songwriter/mouthpiece Gerard Way, was animator with a Major Degree before the band took off. Hardly Rock & Roll rebellion is it? In short I resent anyone or anything that pretends to be something that they are not, and the idea of a bunch of middle class Americans trying to manipulate a bunch of stupid white American disaffected teens What's him being an animator before starting the band got to do with anything? And it's not just white people that like MCR you know. By the amount you sit and write you really seem to have a problem with them. Edited October 28, 200618 yr by x-The_Royston_Poisoner-x
November 1, 200618 yr Author It's not making me want to actually buy it, but as a piece of journalism it piqued my interest, to me, it's everything a good Music Journalist should address.... i've bought it. the £25 version in the box
November 1, 200618 yr Author How did I know this thread would contain a Daily Mail article? :rolleyes: actually the article is from the guardian's music and film pull out. only reffing the mail.
November 1, 200618 yr I think it's good they did an album about death. Everyone always blocks it out, we're all gonna die.
November 1, 200618 yr thisispop is spot-on about Marilyn Manson - he'll ALWAYS be a poor man's Alice Cooper - with a fair bit of Ziggy Stardust thrown in, too. He reminds me of those embarassing 'token' punks or goths you see in those crappy American movies.... 20 years out of date and passe as hell.... very America. And My Comical Romance are just pathetic - angst music for kiddies who think themselves 'shocking' or 'alternative'.... hilarious.

What about all the hundreds of other 'emo' bands? I don't know anyone who thinks themselves as 'shocking' because they listen to MCR.
November 1, 200618 yr Because My Comical Romance are simply laughable, that's why - it's embarassing that kids think this nonsense is 'alternative', though - it's pop music in eyeliner for kids - simple as.
November 2, 200618 yr Author I don't know anyone who thinks themselves as 'shocking' because they listen to MCR. nah its not shocking. when the trashy disco eurodance cover version comes out. now thats when it will become shocking :lol:
November 2, 200618 yr Because My Comical Romance are simply laughable, that's why - it's embarassing that kids think this nonsense is 'alternative', though - it's pop music in eyeliner for kids - simple as. Oh well.
November 2, 200618 yr thisispop is spot-on about Marilyn Manson - he'll ALWAYS be a poor man's Alice Cooper - with a fair bit of Ziggy Stardust thrown in, too. He reminds me of those embarassing 'token' punks or goths you see in those crappy American movies.... 20 years out of date and passe as hell.... very America. Manson is certainly passe NOW, but not so passe a decade or so back I can assure you, "Antichrist Superstar" is one of the best Hard Rock albums of the 90s, and I seriously mean that... And he came across as vastly more threatening to US values than the rather tame by comparison Alice Cooper.. And the 'token' Punks and Goths you see in those US films and TV shows are as a direct result of him and Trent Reznor..... ...Oh, and of course Brandon Lee in "The Crow".... :lol: I think blaming Manson for MCR is a bit off really, a bit like blaming The Beatles for Oasis...
November 2, 200618 yr oh, Scott, please don't get me started on 6th-form-poet extraordinaire Trent Reznor.... :puke2: And the token punks and goths I mentioned... they're in virtually every John Hughes movie from the 80s.... The thing that makes me laugh with Manson is it all looks so fake, tired, old and dated.... so passe... you just know as soon as him and Dita get home, it's off with the PVC and eyeliner and on with the slippers and cardies.... to think of this man as shocking.... he's just the Cyndi Lauper of the rock world - all make-up, no substance.

Well, to criticise Manson for not keeping up his image 24/7 is a bit churlish, did Vince Furnier keep up the persona of Alice Cooper 24/7..? Did Bowie keep up the image of Ziggy 24/7...? Of course not... A stage image is just that, no different to acting a role in a film or a TV show, you dont take the part home with you (well, of course the 'method actors' excepted.... :lol: ) you'd may as well crisicise John Cleese for not being like Basil Fawltey all the time. And yeah, to a great deal of Middle America, Manson IS shocking, face facts... I've seen Manson in interviews, I've heard what he has to say, and I believe that there is a fair amount of substance in what he's done, especially in the 90s, not so much now though... What isn't passe and tired these days..? You and me are old gits who've seen it all, done it, worn the T-shirts, seen the movie, blah, blah.... There's nowt new...
November 2, 200618 yr Author Well, to criticise Manson for not keeping up his image 24/7 is a bit churlish, did Vince Furnier keep up the persona of Alice Cooper 24/7..? well when you say alice cooper i totally think of golf pants first rather than anything else. then maybe daphne and celeste :lol:
November 2, 200618 yr Author I've seen Manson in interviews, I've heard what he has to say, and I believe that there is a fair amount of substance in what he's done, especially in the 90s, not so much now though... suppose seeing as we are the dudes who like loads a films think we'd better wait till Phantasmagoria comes out to see if he still has something cultural to give to the world.

There's nowt new... fyi: i think this is the point in that bill drummond no music day thing on november 21. its a protest as he believes no new musical styles have been invented in the last so and so years. everything is postmoden and a bit of this and a bit of that and boring.

Hmmm, Mr Drummond is pretty much correct in that assessment, unfortunately....
