I love that book. A friend loaned it to me one day and I just casually opened it up to check out how it was written. It sucked me in instantly and it just got better.

Read his book The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell.
I think Bill O'Reily should stick to interviewing people within the reality realm of his understanding.
MM handles these things soooooooo well. I am not such a huge fan of his music, but I am a huge fan of him.

Yawn. When are people going to realise that music, films, whatever does NOT cause people to do anything?! If that was the case, every single person who was into Marilyn Manson or the like would be running around, blowing shit up, joining cults and self harming til they drip to death with an ironic smile on their face. Get over it

MM is a no-talent piece of trash, and Bill should've been way harder on him.
lies


Bill'O - thanks for being someone we can boo and hiss at.

Boo!

Hiss!

Dagnabbit. I knew I should have just sifted this after making a comment about it in the Bill O'Reilly video. Would have been just that wee bit closer to losing my "P". Live and learn.

I never really liked the music (except for 'beautiful people') but I was sold on Marilyn Manson the instant I saw his interview in "Bowling for Columbine." There was nothing I could take away from that but the truth. I'm looking forward to hearing more from him.
If you didn't see his brief interview in Michael Moore's movie I'll summarize it for you. All he said there was what nobody was thinking: we should shut up start listening to kids and to people in general. Hardcore listening-if there is such a thing. By the way, I am RKBA all the way. That doesn't stop me from listening, though.

That was pretty much word for word what i would have said.

This and his appearance in Bowling for Columbine should be all anyone needs to understand he isn't the psychopath he appears to be in videos and such. A highly intelligent, well-spoken, rational man.

He should become a regularly-appearing pundit, though perhaps that's a bit too evil for him.

Although ASL is unique to America (is Canadian sign language more similar to ASL or British sign lanuage?) - interesting how adjectives are similar everywhere.

In sign lanuage, typically you use facial experessions or gestures to describe things in more detail.

ALso. he signed really well to the music - best way to watch all marilyn manson songs IMO.

Would be great to see him sign on stage with marilyn

As an interpreter who works in entertainment interpreting, I have to say this was a phenomenal job. While I don't like Marilyn Manson's style of music myself the interpreting of it matched affect and spirit of the music. Keep up the good work. I would love to see other interpreted songs as well. :-)

Lots of borrowed footage compiled by someone far less cynical about the song than Marilyn Manson.

I like this video, but it reminded me of a "story" I read

Marilyn Manson Now Going Door-To-Door Trying To Shock People

LOL

Up vote for you sir

Marilyn Manson reminds me of Alice Cooper. I hope in a few years Marilyn will become a night DJ on a Phoenix radio station like Alice.

Haha.. They have girls names

found this through marinara's playlist. wow.

just became my new favorite Marilyn Manson tune.

I am very strongly against the rage against the machine "riff" on this list. On the basis of the riff itself it's garbage. I am not familiar with the track, so maybe it is totally rockin'- but it's not rockin because of a so-cool-best-ever-omg-killer guitar riff. One chord and a wah-wah pedal do NOT a "riff" make.

That having been said, I would also scrap Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, and Lynyrd Skynyryr from the list. Mr. I have too many ys in my name is a very very catchy riff, but DAMMIT that's not rock- it's country!!!

... what's that? Oh this isn't just for rock?

Shit, well that opens up a whole new bag of cats now doesn't it?

What about
Mason Williams - Classical Gas
Django Reinhardt - Minor Swing
Andres Segovia - "Asturias"

Or even programmed guitar- how about Ministry - TV II, or Nitzer Ebb - Murderous?

OK, so nobody will ever pick those, I agree. I'm just saying, if you want to have a list, you've got to pare it down SOMEHOW. Just rock, or just metal, or something.

But whatever, as was pointed out, nobody will ever agree with a list, and while there are GLARING deficiencies with this one (in my opinion), my strongest beef with with rage against the machine. That isn't a riff. It's a chord and a wah pedal. argh.

Other than that, the list needs Metallica (Enter Sandman or Master of Puppets), probably at least one more beatles (Come Together, or birthday), some CCR (Suzy Q), and some floyd (Another Brick in the Wall, the trippy trippy floaty guitar riff at the beginning of shine on you crazy diamond, money, any of a dozen more), and probably at least one doors and one santana track.

Then change the Jimi to Voodoo Chile (slight return), and AC/DC to highway to hell (or just get rid of ACDC altogether) and we'll have a much better list.

OK!
