Can't disagree really. Can't claim his career has been filled with similar high points either. In fact, the "High points" such as they are, are largely covers. Depeche Mode, Soft cell, He'll gladly tweak it enough to sell to the kids and they'll lap it up in droves.

There is little functional difference between Manson and Barney the fucking dinosaur really.

Edit for idiot typo.

You're dismissing the awesomeness that was/is Mechanical Animals though. And regardless, he puts on a HELLUVA show. Caught him at Red Rocks last summer with Alice Cooper.

Anything "awesome" about him starts and stops with "Tourniquet".  Which, it just so happens, was covered by Rasputina.

While tourniquet is one of my favs, there's a lot of quality stuff on mechanical animals:

Great Big White World
Mechanical Animals
Disassociative
The Speed of Pain
The Last Day On Earth
Coma White

Easily their best album.

A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

These are great!!

Also, I never expected to enjoy Primus doing a cover of one of the songs from one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums.


I do love Pink Floyd and have a bit of a chick boner for Primus/Les's side projects. He does add in a good amount of Floyd tidbits at their shows and I believe the Flying Frog Brigade covered all of Animals at the show the song I linked to was from. Definitely a big difference between seeing them at a regular concert vs them playing at a festival. He opens a lot with "In the Flesh?"

I'll stop gushing now
There's no sun shine coming through her ass, if you are sure of your penis.

Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you, may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution.

If there is no order in your sexual life it may be difficult to stay with a whole skin.

I've seen the show, probably half a dozen times in various incarnations. It's nothing special. I've seen him bottled off stage at a festival for piss poor performance and being stupidly late.

If you want a stage show, go to the fucking theatre. I paid for music and what I got is some middle aged guy dithering around a stage pretending to be sinister for money. There's this whole stink of "trying too hard" that just becomes fucking nauseating after a while. What was the last good Manson album? You say MA, I say that's a good long while ago now and the output since is, well, fucking terrible.

The Last Day On Earth

I do admit I like this song a lot and do listen to some others here and there. Eh, even if some of it's kind of silly, I like music that makes me laugh. Hell, last year(?), some of our friends were going to see them @ the Casino Ballroom in Hampton so we figured why the heck not. What else were we going to be doing on whatever night that was? Honestly, it was pretty meh. Especially since I heard they at least usually put on a good show. There were some enjoyable parts but it was a SHORT show, but such is often the way at the Casino Ballroom. That and there probably isn't much leeway in the way of theatrics, since I feel like one of these days, if someone sneezes the wrong way, that building will either collapse or burst into flames.

You said his high point was mostly covers. I countered that their best album had 0 covers on it. Yes, it's old, but they're just one of many bands still around today that peaked in the 90's. And eh, while not the greatest I did personally enjoy High End of Low. Born Villain was extremely disappointing though.

Give Great Big White World a listen if you haven't. Last Day on Earth used to be my favorite on that cd, then this one got stuck in my head and never left.

Financially, his high points are covers is more what I meant. Personally, I found Portrait and Antichrist the real high points. The sound got far too clean by Holywood and he's kept right down that path ever since. There seemed to be some point after the whole columbine thing where the focus shifted from music to making even more cash. Not that there's anything wrong with that as such, but the music suffered pretty badly. And ripping off Kiss and Cooper is risky at the best of times.

Section section quartet's cover of "Hysteria" by Muse.

I highly recommend it!
Who am I?
I am a nobody,
and the odds are
that you are too.

If you say its a bad idea
to listen to a nobody;
you likely are also saying nobody,
should listen to you.

Do not trust the authorities on a subject;
simply because they are the authority.

Listen to them only if what they say is truth.
