When did Manson's music become metal? I mean... really.

Can't say I like Marilyn Manson. I appreciate some of the songs, but not too many.

Marilyn Manson...what can you say that hasn't already been said?

He's performed individually, in a band with the same name. If you want to see a guy do weird stuff, who is still making music, he's right. Ozzy Osbourne does it, Alice Cooper does it. It's MM's turn. The music is sometimes metal, it's sometimes goth/industrial/alternrock.

Am I a fan? Mostly. I have pretty much of all of his/the band's stuff, and like most of it. The person, himself, Marilyn (Munroe Charles) Manson, is like the modern day Willy Wonka. Actually, I don't know if you knew but MM was supposed to play Willy Wonka in the latest movie, but couldn't because of scheduling, so Johnny Depp got it. Manson would have done a heaps better job I have to say.

@ madjar: NIN and Slipknot kick ass too. Two of my friends are going to see NIN live, and I was almost going to go with them...I have my fist, I have my plan, I have Survivalism.

Marilyn (Munroe Charles) Manson has performed individually and in a band with the same name. I like most of the stuff, and as far as the person goes I'm indifferent. Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper beat him to the weirdness though.

Actually, he was supposed to play Willy Wonka in the Tim Burton movie, but couldn't due to scheduling so Johnny Depp got it. I reckon MM would have done a heaps better job.

Sorry about that Knight of Nights - your posts got caught by the anit-spam filter, but I've set them up to be published now.

Heard one of his earlier albums a few years ago and wasn't too impressed - but currently Listening to Eat Me, Drink Me - really impressed so far.

The best albums by Manson are Golden Age of Grotesque and Mechanical Animals. GAOG because it has Doll-Dagga-Buzz-Buzz-Ziggety-Z, KaBoom KaBoom, mOBSCENE, (s)AINT, Use Your Fist And Not Your Mouth, and Mechanical Animals for Mechanical Animals, Coma White, I Don't Like the Drugs and The Dope Show. Love 'em.

I think his music would best be described as Nu Metal, with a lot of Industrial mixed in.

Actually, although chronologically concurrent with the Nu-metal movement, Manson was in no way Nu-metal. His sound was a fairly straight progression of the kind of stuff NIN and Ministry were doing before him. If you compare Manson to archetypal nu-metal like Korn, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkits, there is little or no comparison.

Knight_of_Nights

Manson is definitely industrial...not all but a vast majority is...and Korn, Slipknot and all those other nu-metal bands have very different sounds to Manson.

Kingmob

I mean, he's not that industrial, compared to say something like Throbbing Gristle, more in the industrial lite vein as Pioneered by Ministry. But yeah, definetly not numetal.
