I personally think he's a fricking genius that doesn't give a damn what people think of him.
-
I don't think about him much, and don't really have an opinion of him.
-
Marilyn Manson is controversial on purpose. Every interview I've seen of him, he talks like a very educated, intelligent, and thoughtful person. He does most things to get under the skin of Christians, which in turn makes kids want to buy his albums. He's a business man. Overall, I think I would get along with him if we met.
-
He is strange but who isn't a little off center these days. I heard he got married and haven't heard of any separation or divorce so I give him credit for that. Marilyn and Dita just celebrated their first anniversary earlier this month. Congratulations to you both.
-
He had a very very high IQ in school ..came from a household of over-religious parents. I believe it was Catholic school he attended. It has been a while since I read his bio. He has dated some of the most intelligent and stunning looking women. I think he has a fascinating voice that can stand-alone without music. I do think he is very talented but I do not buy his music because I am against the messages he sends out.
-
well, what he lacks in normality, he makes up for in wierdness <chuckle>. I am sure he is a fun guy underneath it all. And I know God loves him ... and most likely, his mother.
-
He is a strange character...but who isn't these days. Manson (a.k.a. Brian Warner) is a talented muscician and I enjoy his music...that's about it.
-
I think he is very creative. I enjoyed looking at the pictures of his wedding in Vogue magazine. Personally, I don't like dark imagery, so he wouldn't be a favorite of mine because of this.
-
Many people don't know this, but he's also a poet. He's an extreme individual and that's what makes him so intriguing. Most highly intelligent people are eccentric. His showmanship is for entertainment purposes and that's what sells. Personally, I really like his music.
-
ive been listening to marilyn manson since 1994 ..i always liked his stuff .hes weird but so is everybody,i think the music is good accept maybe 1 cd.but its all a act,no diffrent the alice cooper,king diamond,kiss or any other band who wears makeup.ill still buy his cds.lol
-
great artist and musician
-
I think he's a spooky character....scary even!
-
I think that Marlyne is far more normal then a lot of the "normal" people these days. If someone thinks that you are offensive, then you don't HAVE to watch or listen. Perants should be perants, if they don't like something-then take it away!
-
I think he's a poser who pretends to be goth to get money, but at the same time he is very intelligent. My IQ doesn't go down 50 points every time I hear him talk! It's a miracle! Essentially, he's a genius who can't sing very well but knows how to sell mediocrity.
-
Not my kinda music but I think he is brilliant at marketing his product. He is the next generation of performers like Alice Cooper, David Bowie and all the bands that had their ady with theatrics.
-
People need to understand that what he does is an act. There's no real devil worshiping or animal sacrifice. A true artist meant to attract controversy.
-
I LOVE MARILYN MANSON HE ROCKS I HAVE ALL HIS CD'S ON MY MP3 PLAYER
-
I know he is intelligent. I know he likes to be controversial. He doesn't shock or bother me, I just don't care for his music. I have a few friends who love him. That's ok with me.
-
As far as his music is concerned it's very arrogant like a Jay-Z album. Jay-Z never tried to convince me he was the anti-christ.
-
manson is a very talented and intelligent person. that is thing that people can't stand. it isn't the fact that he is doing what he is doing, it is the fact that we all know he is very talented and intelligent. his message is not one of violence or hate. it is of exseptance, it is of anti-conformity. the fact he is not the 'perfect role model' i.e must believe in god, is nothing to do wih it
-
SCARY TWAT.
-
He seems like a cool person. I love his sence of theatrics.
-
I think he has a huge hole in his life that he is trying to fill.
-
I think marilyn manson rocks he may be different but that's what we all look for is to be different right? well he has the face only a mother would love
-
not great, but alright, I guess. I like, perhaps, two or three of his songs... but he is pretty weird (scary?), though.
-
I like the Beautiful People song. I heard somewhere he's really not such a weird person.
-
i like a lot of his music but i think his persona is mostly an act
-
Sexy beast. Seriously, though, I fricken love him... if that wasn't already obvious.
-
A bit too freaky for my taste.
-
I used to care nothing at all for this person, but since having heard him speak about the Columbine tragedy, I have a new-found respect for his obvious intellect. When asked what would he say to Eric and Dylan, the Columbine shooters, he stated quite simply "I wouldn't say anything to them - I would ask them how they felt and I would listen to what they have to say."
-
I love his live album and his greatest hits, but am not a big fan of his albums in general or his persona. But alot of people are and it is only a persona after all so good luck to him!
-
Oh I like MM! Love the covers he has done (Tainted Love, Sweet Dreams, Personal Jesus), also love some of his own stuff. I love his "persona", I also love Alice Cooper the Rock Persona of Vincent Furnier.
-
his music has got crap lately
-
he's unique yeah, I like SOME of his music, but he still sort of scares me. but i am easily scared.
-
He's incredibly talented and one of the most intelligent, soft-spoken people I have ever heard in interviews. An amazing artist.
-
He used to terrify me, but apparently its just an act and that he's a really nice guy in reality.
-
I love him! I am going to try and buy tickets for his gig in Oslo in December if they are still available when I get paid next week.
-
I think he is just a person trying to present unconfomitism in a new way which will make people jerk theior heads to listen, so they might actually try it. He is just as much a person as you or me, and he get's too much crap about his apperance and views, and if your gonna pick on him for being like he is, why not just trash all glam metal bands for looking strange or bands like AC/DC ("Hells Bells") and Iron Maiden ("Number Of The Beast") for even referecing evil religious symbols, the fact is you cant tell what he beileves other than what he tells you, and all people wanna do is put things with him that he may not even believe.
-
i like his music when he first came out then it was just ok
-
the first time i saw one of his music videos, i was freaked. but now i've thouhgt about alot of what hes said and come to the conclusion that hes a really smart and insightful person who makes people think and i agree with alot of what he says.
-
I don't really appreciate the genre of music he does, but he does it better than most and I can appreciate that. He also seems like quite a respectable, intelligent person who can appreciate the irony in his own act, but if you ask me, he squeezed the last few drops of worthwhile art and irony out of his act/persona about 5-8 years ago.
-
hes very individualistic. i love him for being who he is and not being a sheep and doing what everyone tells him. he challenges alot of religions and i deeply admire him forcing people to look at their life without the contraint of a religion. great person.
-
Not that I care too much, but he comes across to me as the grandson of Alice Cooper (whose single "School's Out" I liked when I was 12).
-
I love Marilyn Manson and everything that he is. I love all of his music he is soooooo freaking awsome!!!
-
i dont like him at all
-
I think he is a low down dirty filthy waste of human life...He is sick and the world would be a much better place without his disgusting music...Its kinda funny how almost every school shooter listened to his music and wore pictures of him on their shirts...He needs to go back under the rock he came from...he is a filthy disease, and i hope God has mercy on his soul...
-
he is my idle. He's saved my lives so many times from so many different situations. GOD.
-
I don't mind him, he as found a niche and has taken full advantage of it...To each there own I say...
-
I like Marilyn Manson. I want to sit down with him and devise a plan to bring down Christianity.
-
I appreciate the how the image he's created can make so many people freak out. But, I'm not really a fan, I like two songs, and one of them is a Bowie cover ;)
-
Just another attention seeker. I did like what he said about Harris and Klebold in his interview with Michael Moore. Other than that, he's just another dude.
-
I love marilyn Manson He has the ability to transform music and give it an intresting edge I love his version of "this is Halloween" from the nightmare before Christmas.
-
He has an image, thats all it is. He knows how to make his money. :o)
-
Marilyn Manson is the bomb man!!!!
-
I love him he is the REAL deal
-
Well, he doesn't exactly radiate warmth and happiness.
-
