I like how henry interviewed mansion, he didn't do what news casters do, he didn't talk over him or interrupt him, he sat their and took it all in without saying a word
That is the mark of a professional who wants his audience to understand something about his interviewee, and his guest to get points across, and doesn't let his ego get in the way.
Whether or not you like either of these guys' music, they're both really strong characters, they think before they speak, and they believe what they speak. It's refreshing.
What scares me, is how fake everything is getting, and the faker and cheaper everything gets, the more people seem to like it. Even the food is getting worse. However there are things that are getting better but at what cost.
"How much more can the common man be manipulated? How much further can the government go?" Two excellent questions with, as it turns out, truly discouraging answers.
Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of his music, but he has got to be one of the most articulate and intelligent sounding rock artists out there. It's really refreshing to see someone in the music business sound so smart in his interviews.
Rollins usually seems genuinely interested in what his guests have to say and I like that. As for Manson, I think what he said will definitely resonate when he is dead, despite all the shit that happened to him during his career or whatever he did and said, he will always ultimately be an artist. This was a really good interview!
Actually, he often listens to what others have to say, in debate shows, which he is often drawn into he's always polite with other people's points of view. His dress sense is possibly his most powerful asset. His image draws attention and outrage, but when parents confront him, he can always engage them civilly and answer eloquently on behalf of a largely misunderstood subculture.
I always thought, like Manson said, that calling yourself an artist at a young age is pretentious... if you paint, create music dance or whatever that dosent make you an artist, "Artist" is a strange subjective word, today it's used regardles of the quality of the "artists" work. Well but Manson is an artwork just being true to himself.
It all comes down to intention, a true artist could call themself an artist without hesitation or shame whereas a person who just wants people to know they are an artist would bring it up with that intention. Food for thought; What is the difference between acting and action?
That's because being an artist is not something you choose it is who you are it's not a matter of accomplishment but rather a strong pull towards the unknown. My Personal definition for it is being in love with chaos/The desire to conquer it BUT very important with the GREATEST respect for it. Being In love with Chaos is not something you choose it's a straight love for trouble & you're willing to give everything for it, precisely you GOT to give up the idea of any kind of security to be able to embrace it fully since it is by itself everything of uncertainty. I think a really trustworthy factor to identify an artist is this willingness to sacrifice it's own security for that pull. I don't think a sacrifice of that importance can be made except if it is made for pure & simple Love. . Edit: I did a quick search right after writing this & stumbled across this : books.google.ca/books?id=qQzi_NzxKUgC&pg=PA200&lpg=PA200&dq=willingness+to+sacrifice+security+art&source=bl&ots=BA8OXBo9ap&sig=WiWzoMfneD1umj9IHtQRsNF9dTg&hl=fr&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiryOSy4azdAhUhzlkKHSs3C7IQ6AEwDHoECAIQAQ#v=onepage&q=willingness%20to%20sacrifice%20security%20art&f=false It's only a quick paragraph, might be more articulated than mine I haven't slept for 2 days so my frame of mind is kinda loose loll
Why would you wish that on someone? He has a different thought process and his art is raw emotion and you are sitting on a computer trying to tear him down, at least he is creating something. Love it or hate it, it is art and he is contributing to society and he is inspiring.
I just want to run into marilyn on the street, grab his shoulders and say, "THANK YOU FOR SAYING ALL OF THIS!!!!!" everything he says about creativity and politics is so true
Don't love his music, but man is he bright with everything and lyrics are great. He is a great guy and even if I don't like his music. He is a great artist and a great speaker.
Rollins made it very clear that he was there for the troops, not for the war. The troops don't decide where they go and Rollins has always been anti-Iraq war. Not only that,he was invited by the USO because Rollins was a name that kept popping up when troops requested guests. He even asked the USO if they were sure they wanted him to come because of his opinions. They said it was cool so he went. The 'corporate' troops bombing poor people is just a gross simplifcation from a simple mind.
I think this interview can be interpreted as "boring" to some people because in the contrast of Rollin Manson seems to be reverting back the inner child. I noticed that he wanted to grasp his perceptions a bit more than he could in the end and he was completely honest, the reality of the rock star.
its rare to see a respectful interview where the interviewer likes Manson, although, i dont know if its just me, but i think manson seems to enjoy the opportunity to be challenged in interviews rather than just having a conversation
4.10- "being disappeared" ahhaha this dude cracks me up.. but yee it was a good interview.. manson is a genius, and the interviewer is good because he does listen to the answers to his questions unlike alot of Fox's interviewers
Henry Lawrence Garfield, más conocido como Henry Rollins (13 de febrero de 1961, Washington D. C.), es un vocalista, músico, actor, humorista y activista político estadounidense.
somehow of all the rockers ive heard speak, even though i admittedly have never listened to mansons music (im more a roses and stones/ roses/ beatles person) but i really likr to hear manson speak.
I'll admit I'm swayed by aesthetics a lot of the time, most probably, but I'm not perfect. If you want people to accept your faults then accept theirs my friend. Everyone has their shit to deal with, it just isn't the same shit you know. Most important thing is people learn from themselves, then better themselves. To ask more is unfair to them, to expect less is unfair to everyone else. IMHO
This is one of the better interviews I've watched. I've always loved just listening to what MM has to say, but usually he's being interviewed by complete twits like Letterman and O'Reilly. It's nice to see an interview with a natural flow instead of just an agenda.
@13tharealest Bowling For Columbine, Marilyn Manson and Matt Stone are the only people who in the movie who make solid points about the school system in the movie. Its a great watch.
U can tell that people who dress as Goths and Emo's are people who are lost in a sense where they don't know who they are or where they belong, just as I said about Marilyn Manson in Part 1 of this video. They are basically saying, I don't know where I belong so I will go out of my way to join these other people who don't know what they want or who they are and dress like I'm going to a funeral everyday. It amazes me that people need to join groups, that they can't just be themselves.
Furby Gender I’m amazed that you missed the entire context of that... he had just had a school shooting put on his head, was scared of being gunned down in the street, politicians and religious zealots were calling him the second coming of Satan, and legitimately wanted him dead. All of these accusations going directly against his core beliefs. This would be a lot for anyone to process... you can’t even process his point without getting lost.
i really like him as a person Marilyn i mean, and for all those watching this to bash him close your eyes and listen if your so judge-mental of looks then you might be able to judge the book before the cover
I like what Marilyn Manson says. I don`t know what he does, but he recognizes we are living in a George Orwell world. I also like what he says about writers. I`ve made only friends or enemies with my writing, one of them being Henry Rollins with whom I lost "traction with" when I called him some nasty names for signing a $25,000 bomb to be dropped on poor people in Iraq while he was "entertaining" the corporate troops there defending our freedoms, while destroying their lives.
i'm not going to agree or disagree - but i will say i think he should take himself seriously, and don't feel that he is narcissistic - he's being asked questions about himself - of course he's going to talk about himself. glad to hear that even though you feel this way, that you are still a fan! :D
@MisterEternal What he's saying is that historically, governments have been afraid of the power of art to sway the views and perceptions of the public, and so have suppressed them in an effort to minimize the chance of backlash, rebellion, or even indifference from the masses, upon whom governments rely for their power. There is even a term for it in media and political studies: "co-opting" Look at, for example, Thomas Payne's role in catalyzing the American revolution against Britain.
I always admired Manson for his intelligence and articulation. He would be one of those people I'd like to sit down and drink coffe/abstinth with (yfw painting reference) and just talk. I do not agree that the Right is motivated to censor art (although I have met some Right-wingers that makes me cringe), I believe both sides have developed similar political striking methods where they perform censorship. I wonder how long it will be before the whole system just, falls apart.
I agree that artist move the world and its true i mean look at the hippys and shit they were all like peace and love their music inspired them to creat peaceful protests
If you get anything out of this, anyone, it's his last statement. Being an artist, a TRUE artist, is what we all must do. They have had the greatest influence over things for all time. Buddha, Jesus, LaVey...they created something, and that's the key. So get some balls and make it out of your small town, and become legendary. Your the one who should be on the other side of the TV.
I like all the comments about "he's sexy" and all that type of nonsense. Henry is an intellectual, and his show is supposed to reflect that, and it does. Comments like that just make me laugh. Swing! *miss*. These guys are just, well...guys. Talking.
@ 13tharealest the are talking about Bowling for Columbine. About the Columbine killings around 2000 when Marilyn was blamed and he did an interview with Michael Moore.
@1994rcm1 I think that really something that is different for each and eeryone of his fans. For me I think he changed a lot from AS to MA even more to HW. He has always a lot.
