Marilyn Manson is an incredibly intelligent man. If you ever get the oportunity look up an interview with him. He puts deep meaning into his lyrics and everything he says is with measured intent. Love his music. Oh and keep killing it with these videos Alex.
That's why I hate the moms who are like "he make kids violent". I just laugh at them. If you watch top 10 times Marilyn Manson outclassed interviewers, he says how it's always better to be screaming curse words then hurting someone. This is art. When rage was expressed and not repressed. When it wasn't loaded into a magazine into an AR-15.
@lunatic gmd I agree with you 100% I’m just saying for a modern music video it’s rather cool, I think it’s something more aimed towards youth. I can’t see a lot of younger kids and teenagers watching a Marilyn Manson music video
moobang yeah I agree, I know he might want to censor it himself for the sake of his channel, but as far as getting the full effect of the song, he should definitely stick to uncensored vids.
I do feel like, at least in this case, Manson is able to convey a slightly different but no less poignant message in both versions of the song with the line "Hate every motherfucker that's in your way" / "Hate every other hater that's in your way". The first implies that everyone in your way is a "motherfucker", or someone who is beneath you or somehow dirty or not deserving of your attention. Hating "every other hater", on the other hand, implies that everyone is doing the exact same thing, trying to clear everyone out of their way in their own rat race, and by pushing all the other haters out of their *own* way they are pushing them into other people's way who push them out once more and the cycle continues until everyone is pushing each other around trying desperately to reach their higher status. It's very clever in a trademark Manson way to be able to censor his songs by ostensibly making the lyrics even deeper.
"The weak ones are there to justify the strong" is about rationalizing the poor and weak in society. You have to have the lower class in order to have the upper class.
More precisely, it's the upper classes, the "strong" (and, in the context of MM's symbolism here, fascists now and back in Nazi Germany) who need someone to ostracise, to beat down on and to scapegoat in order to be able to feel like the strong ones and as a pretence to justify their violent acts.
You gotta hear Devour by Marilyn Manson. It's a super underrated song because it's so different from his other work. It has such a dark twisted yet romantic story behind it. It's a must hear song.
It is a great performance, but he should never see a live version first. The only exception to the rule is Domination by Pantera live in Moscow. He should definitely watch the studio version then the live.
Ragged Robin it is not actually. The album’s logo is an upside down cross with an extra line through it. The sigil you’re referring to is a tattoo that Manson has on the back of his left hand.
I love playing this song on guitar, it's so good. You should watch some of the live performances of this song, every so often Johnny Depp shows up playing the guitar. That's right, Johnny Depp shreds it up to this song with Manson (he's also in a few of the music videos from the most recent album but the guitar thing is way cooler)
"Capitalism has made it this way Old fashionned fascism will take it away There is no time to discriminate Hate every other hater that's in your way" Powerful stuff.
Coma White by Marilyn Mason is a beautiful song that not many ever talk about but it’s definitely worth the listen. Definitely been my favorite song for the last few years
First started listening to Marilyn Manson at the tender age of 13 with this song being my first introduction to his music. 20 years later it is still one of my all time favs!
YES. I love how you see him, I see him the same way. He's fascinating, absolutely fascinating. And I had the biggest crush on him and Twiggy, the dude in the dress...my parents were worried. hah...good memories :'D
That was the first song I heard by him, bought the single and loved it, so bought that album and... the rest, live gigs etc. I put it on and went, "ok sold"! Great suggestion.
Went to the Twins of Evil concert in 2018. The crowd lost its shit when this song started playing. And seeing Rob Zombie and Manson covering the Beatles' Helter Skelter was the closest thing to a spiritual experience I've had in years.
I went to a Manson concert in 1997 at the Richmond Colleseum and it was EPIC! Much like a Broadway show, he had set changes for each song and at one point he had a church scene that started snowing then BOOM! the stage changed to a podium with the lightning flag behind him and the snow became ticker tape and it was AWESOME!!!
Man it's hard to believe 22yrs have come and gone since I first heard/saw this on a tv station called Mtv. You see kids, it was a channel during the 80's and early 90's that was all music videos......then......it went to crap. YO yO YO, RealWorld....n all that. Now we have the internet and RU-vid to find our favorite bands and everything else. Thank Gahd!
He needs to react to more in flames in general. He's only reacted to only for the weak which is a great song but there are so many good ones. Trigger happens to be my favorite.
What really drives my love for this song is back in the day of wwe (2001-2004) was that this song was used for smack down in its best of days and on The PlayStation 2 I played the hell out of it and when I turned it on I just hear Manson give me the rush with “beautiful people “ and still love it
@@novocaineboy1979 FUCK U, most of us feel the same way as him. Fuck ur comment and u for saying it. Hes a god amongst men, I flushed u last week why r u speaking. STAN LEE IS LIFE
You definitely got to check out songs from “Eat me, Drink me” album by Marilyn Manson such as Putting Holes In Happiness, Heart Shaped Glasses, Just A. Car Crash Away and Are You The Rabbit! Matter of fact, that whole album is good from start to finish!
@@haidandurham8630 I hadn't until Alex did his reaction to it about 5 months ago. It's ... interesting but, not exactly what's going to get on heavy rotation on my playlists.
@@pauljacobi340 I’d recommend Contrapsso by Black Tongue, or Bonebreaker by Slaughter to Prevail. Both are different to each other, Contrapsso you can appreciate the different riffs and the slowness of the drums in parts (slowness for a death metal song) and Bonebreaker is just a brutal experience in which the last 45 to 60 seconds are pure bliss if you love metal.
Been a Marilyn Manson fan since high school and I'm 35years old this was the first album of his that I heard been a fan since thanks for the video do kill for me off his new album heaven upside down
I didn’t think I had a favorite Manson song until I saw him a few years ago. The second that drum beat started, I screamed louder than I ever have in my life. So I guess I have a favorite Manson song. 😂
It´s his goal to do weird videos so people who judge by look doesnt find the meaning of it. The Beautiful People for example has so deep meaning in that video with lyrics of the song.
I gotta say that your analysis of this song and with Marilyn Manson in general is precisely the way that I've always looked at him. He is SO misunderstood and it really is a disappointment that so many people hate him just based on face value! He has gotta be one of the most underrated singer/songwriters there is! The man is a fuckin genius and he stands as a reflection of the stark reality of American society as a whole and he forces us to take a long, hard look at ourselves right down to the bone! Thank you so much for reacting to this song and for giving Marilyn Manson the respect he deserves! I am truly impressed with your introspective viewpoint with metal in general now, as well as the empathy and wisdom that you convey on this channel! Well done young man!! You rock Alex!!!
I knew you were going to love this video and song One of my all time faves video is very strange but what do you expect its Manson!! Love the reactions bro keep them coming!!
Dear Alex and all of you out there scrolling through the comments, I'm here to suggest a very very very unknown and underrated Band. They've released their 1st album back in 2014 but they're also recording their second right now. In my personal opinion the first album is already on par with bands like Blind Guardian, Powerwolf or Orden Ogan, which you should definetly check out as well. Their called STILVERLIGHT and so is their debut album which is fully uploaded on RU-vid by themselves. I would really like to see you do a reaction on their Song FRAGILE LIE. I think your channel would give them a little push, which they really deserve. Greetings from a random guy hoping to get some attention to his favorite band :)
You should react to "Dance Macabre" by Ghost, "All Nightmare Long" by Metallica, or "Devil's Bleeding Crown" by Volbeat. Keep up the good work Alex, appreciate all you do.
This is the second song that I listened to of Manson in 2020 and I was in lock down with this all year 😂 it made me into a young Manson telling teachers f off
Avatar! You need to revisit them! Check out Hail the Apocalypse, A Statue of the King, Let it Burn, there are too many amazing songs. If you ever can, you MUUUUUUUUUUUUUST see them live! Best live performance ever!!
Long time Manson fan - To the point where he's "Brian" personally to me. I feel like we've been friends for years. Every bullying issue, every break up, every surgery, every friend's suicide, every jail visit, every trip to the mental ward, every questionable time in my life - MM has been there to help me make sense of the world, find my iron spine again & bring me back to a peace of mind. Thank you, MM!!! \m/ And thank you, Alex, for this incredible, well deserved review & appreciation of what this song is about!!!
I'll throw it out there for the fans - there is a live version of this, from 1997 in Koln, it's on a whole other level. The whole band is coked up to the gills, mad at the fucking world, Manson's bleeding after cutting himself with a broken bottle and most importantly, the sound mix is fucking raw on the level you rarely ever hear with mainstream bands like this. THere is an edge to that live version that makes me comeback all these years later
Finally some more Manson here, and with one classic song :) The whole album it's just great, Holy Wood still the best one tho You could react to Disposable Teens with Austin man !

I'm still waiting for the many videos no one has ever reacted to
I haven't heard this song in years but I still remember it. They used to play it all the time on the radio when I was a kid way before youtube was a thing. 97.1 The Eagle in Dallas, the only radio station worth listening to in Dallas. Still waiting for you to take a real chance and try some Rings of Saturn.
Manson is amazing. He’s been my fav since I was a teen. I’m so intrigued by him and his music. People are so quick to judge him and I hate that. I can spend hours just watching interviews with him ( guilty pleasure lol). He just so intelligent And I can’t get enough of him! Thank you for another awsome Manson reaction and keep them coming plz! Love you!!
