SeigneurSidious Originally, videos were only broadcast on TV where they were auto censored. Many artists during this era released the videos pre-censored. This was before RU-vid. If it were rereleased now, it would probably be uncensored. I believe his newer videos are not censored.
Hum...do you watch TV or? lmaof everything is censored lolol imagine if a show aired around 7 PM and the protagonist screamed "COOOOCKSUCKAAAA !!!" so loud, America would be in shock that night while eating chips on their couch .
I think he has something important to say and he says it well. I was initially uninterested because I thought the band was only interested in creating an image and was just cashing in on the increasing popularity of industrial music at the time. But it turns out I was quite wrong. I listened to his music again after the trend died down and he became less of a mega star, and I realized he really does have a lot to say and that he is not only a great frontman but a great lyricist as well. He had some awesome band members as well - jeordie white and John 5 - for example, so together the band made some great music.
That is very sad. That means that the adults in your life didn't care about you.... I am sorry. I hope that you, as an adult, will help someone who is younger -- help them from drugs or from abuse or from sadness or misery.
Will never forget watching an interview with Marilyn Manson about the Columbine shooting they asked him what he would of said to those kids if he had the chance and Marilyn's reply " I would not say anything I would have listened and that's what nobody else did" still sends goosebumps to this day thank you for giving a shit MM.
Wolfie Mac Awesome! Saw them day before yesterday in Wacken Germany! I have been listening to the for eight years now and didn't believe I would see them live
Marilyn Manson the taboo rockstar that people love to hate. But such talent and intellect that leaves us at loss for words. He is one of best rockers of his generation.
These words are often attributed to the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and it was published in 1947 by the popular syndicated newspaper columnist Leonard Lyons in “The Washington Post”. What source Lyons used to obtain this quotation? Nobody knows. Perhaps future researchers will locate further relevant evidence. There are several interesting precursors that illustrate the possible evolution of this expression. Beilby Porteus? Kurt Tucholsky? Erich Maria Remarque?................. In 1759 a classics scholar named Beilby Porteus published a prize-winning work titled “Death: A Poetical Essay”. Porteus later became a Bishop in the Church of England. The following excerpt did not contain the word “statistics”, but it did discuss tyranny and provocatively contrasted the ramifications of small and large casualty numbers. Boldface has been added to excerpts: To sate the lust of power; more horrid still, The foulest stain and scandal of our nature Became its boast - One Murder made a Villain, Millions a Hero. - Princes were privileg’d To kill, and numbers sanctified the crime. Ah! why will Kings forget that they are Men? In 1916 an anarchist publication based in California called “The Blast” printed a story that contrasted the feelings engendered by the personalized death of one individual versus the depersonalized death of many: 4 There is double the pathos for us in the death of one little New York waif from hunger than there is in a million deaths from famine in China. It is not that distance glosses over the terrible picture of the Chinese horror, or that a feeling of national kinship with the waif impresses us the more sincerely with his plight. It is merely that the mind is unable to grasp a suffering in the gross. Suffering is so intimately personal a thing that it must be explained through the personal equation, if at all In 1925 a journalist and satirist named Kurt Tucholsky wrote a piece in a German newspaper that included a statement that was similar to the quotation (...) At which a diplomat from French Ministry of Foreign Affairs replies: “The war? I can’t find it too terrible! The death of one man: that is a catastrophe. One hundred thousand deaths: that is a statistic!” In 1932 “The Christian Science Monitor” printed an article describing a meeting that included George Bernard Shaw, Lady Astor, and Stalin. The article did not contain a statement matching the quotation, but it did contain a thematically related comment attributed to Stalin that portrayed him as a callous autocrat indifferent to death although the reporter expressed uncertainty about the veracity of the tale: Although the interview which the Shaw-Astor party had with Stalin was theoretically secret, the story is told in Moscow that hardly had his guests been shown into the room when Lady Astor exuberantly opened the conversation with this remark: “Mr. Stalin, how long are you going to continue killing people?” The Soviet Dictator quietly answered: “As long as it is necessary.” Whether or not this story is true, it is illustrative of the Communist conception of government. In 1939 a newspaper in Wisconsin reprinted a short item that contrasted the divergent responses evoked by the varying number of causalities caused by an individual: If you shoot one person you are a murderer. If you kill a couple persons you are a gangster. If you are a crazy statesman and send millions to their deaths you are a hero. - Watertown Daily Times. As noted previously in this article, in January 1947 the saying was attributed to Stalin in a syndicated column by Leonard Lyons: Stalin interrupted him to say: “If only one man dies of hunger, that is a tragedy. If millions die, that’s only statistics.” Also in 1947 Charlie Chaplin played the role of Henri Verdoux in the movie “Monsieur Verdoux”. A line from the script written and spoken by Chaplin echoed the words Beilby Porteus: That’s the history of many a big business. Wars, conflict, it’s all business. One murder makes a villain, millions a hero. Numbers sanctify my good fellow. In October 1948 “The Atlantic” monthly magazine published an instance, but the words were not attributed to Stalin; instead, the speaker was characterized only as a “Frenchman”. The quotation appeared in a book review column called “The Atlantic Bookshelf” which was written by Charles J. Rolo. This attribution may have been an echo of Tucholsky’s French diplomat: Scourges as immense as fascism and war present the novelist with a knotty problem of ways and means. A Frenchman has aptly remarked that “a single man killed is a misfortune, a million is a statistic.” How to encompass the emotional reality of that aggregate of horrors which so easily becomes “a statistic” or a remote abstraction - “war dead,” “purge,” “pogrom”? In 1956 the German novel “Der Schwarze Obelisk” by the prominent author Erich Maria Remarque was released. In 1957 it was translated into English and published as “The Black Obelisk”. Remarque included an instance without attribution: It’s strange, I think, all of us have seen so many dead in the war and we know that over two million of us fell uselessly-why, then, are we so excited about a single man, when we have practically forgotten the two million already? But probably the reason is that one dead man is death-and two million are only a statistic. In 1958 “The New York Times” published a book review that presented the saying with an ascription to Stalin: “A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.” Stalin’s epigram is admirably illustrated by Ernst Schnabel’s pointilliste portrait of Anne Frank during the few months she lived after the last entry in her diary, Aug. 1, 1944. In conclusion, the saying was attributed to Joseph Stalin by 1947, but the evidentiary support for the linkage was not clear . Columnist Lyons stated that the words were spoken during a meeting “of the highest ranking Commissars”. Perhaps a statement was made by a witness, but no one has located such a document until the present time. The satirist Kurt Tucholsky placed a similar remark into the mouth of a French diplomat in a piece that was available in German by 1925.
back then fucking everything was censored. of course even today censorship is rampant but it has relaxed quite a bit. i always thought it was funny that they will show blood, gore, sex and everything else but they draw the line at bad words
@@andyv4585 I know! And they let Miley Cyrus be naked in a music video but they take down one of Social Repose's music video because of what? Art? He wasn't even naked!
I'm Catholic and this isn't even bad in comparison to some of the things I've heard lol, Brian has his opinion and view of life and that's what made Marilyn Manson an important part of the music scene. If you can't accept people's opinions them don't listen to the music, simple. If you're Christian etc and you're here to preach you're just making us look more ignorant.
Lol a few trolls or one with multiple accounts. Beyond being a hypocrite there is nothing Christian about you especially from your comments. You need to try harder If you are ever going to be anything beyond a mentally Ill internet troll
Let's cut our wrists, just like cheap coupons And say that death was on sale today One of the all-time best lyrics in music history. This line hit me like a truck the first time I've heard it and I've NEVER forgotten it
Keep fighting. Don't fall in their trap, just continue making art, release an album and go on tour. Your fans around the world are waiting for your comeback and will show you respect and love. #istandwithmarilynmanson #marilynmansonisinnocent
Love this song and Love Manson. I grew up Catholic and yeah I believe in a God. But I totally don't get offended by his music because it's art and any artist has the very right of freedom of expression no matter how bad it may look to some. It's also just overall great entertainment, and it's the same as being a fan of shoot em up/blow em up violent action movies. Same shit.
@@dingusmyers I mean my ex's once got together to create terrible rumours about me to destroy my life and rep. None of it was true, they had nothing but each others false story but when multiple women get together to concoct a story, they have power without evidence. It's sick
He's always had the best voice (tecnnically it's shock rock!) since his first album Portait of an American Family. Brian Warner is an O.G. my fav song is The Reflecting God that shit goes hard his interviews are amazing also
I was excited for him to sign the book he wrote.... I even had special nails done for him to see ......but I was so nervous I didn't get to show him! I love him so much!!.:)
+Narcissus Narcosis hate to say it man, but we arent in control of many things in life... whether God exists or not, we are slaves to the things beyond our reach
“I’m not a slave to a god that doesn’t exist. I’m not a slave to a world that doesn’t give a shit” I live by this thanks for putting it out there in a fight song! Be yourself.
I find it funny how they cut out him saying "shit." if people are gonna get offended by that word then then why are they here lol. Probably have a lot more to be offended by.
But yet nicki manaj who objectifies herself and most other women can say what she wants How biased can censorship be Let an artist express hinself and if you dont want your little kids to be "ridiculed" then dont let them out into the world because the more you hide the world from them and try make them perfect the more theyll rebel and refuse to conform Am I right ??? So go ahead all you parents who want perfect kids Keep pressuring them to be fucking perfect but you cant make someone something.
First time I heard this was during a haloween party with MTV on where people complained about the song not being heavy metal enough. Today I'm liking this song a lot.
"The Fight Song" [Verse 1] Nothing suffocates you more than The passing of everyday human events And isolation is the oxygen mask You make your children breathe in to survive [Chorus] But I'm not a slave To a God that doesn't exist And I'm not a slave to a world That doesn't give a shit And when we were good You just closed your eyes So when we are bad We'll scar your minds [Post-Chorus] Fight, fight, fight, fight Fight, fight, fight, fight [Verse 2] You'll never grow up to be a big rock star Celebrated victim of your fame They'll just cut our wrists like cheap coupons And say that death was on sale today [Chorus] And when we were good You just closed your eyes So when we are bad We'll scar your minds But I'm not a slave To a God that doesn't exist And I'm not a slave to a world That doesn't give a shit [Bridge] The death of one is a tragedy The death of one is a tragedy The death of one is a tragedy The death of millions' just a statistic [Chorus] But I'm not a slave To a God that doesn't exist And I'm not a slave to a world That doesn't give a shit But I'm not a slave To a God that doesn't exist And I'm not a slave to a world That doesn't give a shit [Post-Chorus] Fight, fight, fight, fight Fight, fight, fight, fight Produced by Marilyn Manson & Dave Sardy Written by Marilyn Manson & John 5 Album "Holy Wood (In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death" (2000)
+Lexxi Starr I remember this was on MTV2 at the time when every other video had a 5 string bass in it. The funny thing is this tune has more range than those alternative root note junkies who apparently couldn't just tune down their e string to get a D. Twiggy is the best shitty bass player on the planet.
I have an autograph from every member of the band from the first time Marilyn Manson returned to Colorado after Columbine, and it is all mine, mine, mine ( wicked laugh )
I used to spray paint and write all over the walls of my room during high school. I had the lyrics to this song written on my walls too. Oh the memories, so edgy
So, my teacher was watching a student made video, and helping them with it. She said we need a good peppy fight song on the end. I almost died of laughter! I want to put this on a video now! One day, we were supposed to play the fight song on the announcements. Lol....
Lol, yeah I know. Hrmm. Other that the fact that if anyone found out I could get in trouble. Oh well. I should put an instrumental for this one in an intro or something.... :)
The first time I heard of Marilyn Manson was when my church protested them coming to Jackson, MS. I got curious and gave them a listen. Been a fan ever since.
Death is necessary for growth, but one too many torches and pitchforks came out and I'm glad to see our community showing up with strength and support instead!
That is awesome!! I am now in the process of trying to take my Daughter (who is still very young)... but she has seen her Momma love her Manson so much that she now does too!! It is all we ever listen to together ❤ #GreatParentsRaiseGreatKids ✌
@@shoshannam7186 Aww that sounds amazing, you and her alike have fantastic tast in music. I hope you both enjoy the concert when you go to one together. ♥
@@hell_on_earth666 Thank you so very much!! I am also wanting to surprise her with the VIP Meet and Greet!! It is also my dream as well to get to meet him 💋 Also, I am in the process now of trying to get my hands on some of his Artwork!!
