Marilyn Manson - Born Villain

[Space Suicide]

I always buy the CDs, by any artist I love. This is no different.

Was going to buy the full version on Amazon with the few strange bucks left on my gift card balance but I was able to get the iTunes version free so whatever.

[demo]

3-13-12, not too shabby.



anyway, i'm not really sure I'm that excited on getting the 'album' version of No Reflection. I can just wait. lol

[mrvirginia]

i had to stop playing No Reflection because i don't want it to end up like We're From America or Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon, over played to where i can't listen to it.

[antiskum]

just cause it's awesome

[Pemulis]

Especially with the new single version with the added atmospherics I'm really starting to enjoy No Reflection. It's a very straightforward song but really, I don't expect much from a Manson lead single. They're usually some of my least favorite songs on the album.

Of course, I've been cautiously optimistic with each new Marilyn Manson release, so we'll see if my hopes get dashed again. Being a Manson fan reminds me of being a Sonic fan:

Bored at 5.30 in the morning.

That about sums it up for oh....the last decade or so?

He forgot to mention:

"'True' fans continue to suck his dick"

[demo]

"Ect.Ect.Ect.Ect.Ect.Ect."

[eversonpoe]

"Ect.Ect.Ect.Ect.Ect.Ect."

honestly not being a dick, just have OCD (really). it's "Etc." as it's short for "et cetera."

Not sure if this 'the music network' interview was posted http://bit.ly/wDX8EZ .
Some points I found interesting:

“[Born Villain] felt like making a first record because I went in with only ambition and only the confidence and determination to impress people that heard it for the first time,” he says.

and

“It sounds like the exact record I’ve wanted all of my heroes to make at this point in their career and sometimes they don’t. I might have [previously] had that off-period, in my opinion, but this is the one that punches you right in the stomach.”

This one got my attention, and it shows that he's at least aware that he's been sucking balls for quite a while:

"I became very self-destructive, then I went through a period where I made a few records. My last two records were where I was uncertain of who I was. I was trying to find myself. In fact, Manson views those records (2007’s [sic] The High End of Low and 2009’s [sic] Eat Me, Drink Me) with such pain and disconnect he refuses to play any of their tracks on this current tour.

Unfortunately, the interview was done while Manson was all sorts of coked out, so it's hard to think that it's more than just talk:
"In a dark, fifth-floor hotel room at The Sheraton in Sydney, Marilyn Manson is talking about grammatical preferences and Trent Reznor, completely unperturbed by the thick ring of cocaine settled in his left nostril."

On cocaine or not during that, I believe it when he says he won't play any songs from those albums. None has popped up yet.

[Magtig]

Ah, right, point taken. I was thinking mostly about the new album.

[Conan The Barbarian]

I really like that interview.

[ManBurning]

It takes alot of balls to admit your last 2 albums were failures. I think I may have just gained a little more respect for this man again just now.

[danebraddy]

I am a little wary though, I remember both Manson and Twiggy saying THEOL was the bet thing they've done, not that I expect them to say "Hey we have a new album, it's not as good as others but buy it anyway" but it wasn't.

By admitting that the last two albums (while I thought showed some signs of awesomeness) were weaker than past efforts it put A LOT of pressure on this one.

I also hope he includes TGAOG in the 'weak' category...

[antiskum]

tbh i don't think he was saying he felt his last two records were failures, i read it more as he associates those two records with a painful and confusing period of his life, that he doesn't particularly want to relive. similar to how reznor felt about the fragile for years.

RAMMSTEIN will perform with MARILYN MANSON his world hit THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE live at this year's Echo Award show! The German music award ECHO will be broadcasted live in the ARD on March, 22nd at 8.15 pm. All fans can witness the performance at the same time via Live-Stream.

Whoa, never thought I'd see or think of that. Cool news.

[Conan The Barbarian]

.noooooooo!!!!!! I have to work that day. Someone please rip it!

[slave2thewage]

Hearing rumours that Manson is gonna be supporting Rammstein in the States now. BRB, looking at flight tickets.

[Conan The Barbarian]

nope, Manson has his own tour while Rammstein is here as well. the dates dont match up. Would have been an amazing surprise. Unless those dates are fake, which is highly unlikely.

[slave2thewage]

Goddamn Facebook. Then again, given how much of a troll Manson is, I may still have to keep an eye open.

Rammstein did have Deathstars over here, which was basically a vision of the depths Manson still has to reach.

I think you're right on this one..... but goddamn, I'd at least want him to play "Pretty as a swastika"... musically, it fits the flow of the short sets. *shrugs*

[Babali]

I see a lot of comments about how YMTDM3 is one of peoples most listened to off Eat Me Drink Me. I really enjoy that song and wouldn't mind hearing it live.

I lol'd! Hard!

So... the official forum is still down isn't it? I check it every so often and it's still closed. Odd that it always seems to happen before the release of a new album.

Is there even a fairly active Manson forum anymore? This thread is probably the most Manson discussion I really see on the net these days.
