Re: marilyn manson
...personally I never was much of a fan of his... I just felt like he was always trying so hard to shock people.
and basically, with Mechanical Animals, he ripped off Bowie.... and no, it's not just "the glam thing". Just off the top of my head, listen to "Fame" then "I Don't Like the Drugs but the Drugs Like Me". Now, I actually like that MM song, but - it's still not that original.
and btw - he tried to get Bowie to produce that album, but he (bowie) was too busy at the time. I will admit though, it probably would've been a great album... and worth more than the album that bowie released around that time ('hours...')
basically, he's "ok" but I think overall tries really hard to be 'shocking'
and not incredibly original... but it seems like that's ok nowadays... (trails off into another subject altogether)
