it's his music actually good or is it just style over substance?
>>
I tried to give him a chance without any prejudices, and I never cared about haters or people who try to character-assassinate musicians or artists. I seriously don't give a fuck about whiny bitches on the internet
So I gave him a fair chance
And I found him to be incredibly bland and overrated, seriously, nothing interesting going on there

It's good compared to what mainstream metal sounds like now. It's bad compared to what basically every other mainstream metal band at the time was doing.
>>
Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, and Linkin Park were huge influences on subsequent post-hardcore/metal music

i like some of his songs

His hit-to-miss ratio leans too strongly to misses, but the 90s stuff at least had the virtues of being fun and funny (Portrait), somewhat intense if measured against radio rock (Antichrist), and spot on in aping 70s/80s glam (Mechanical Animals). But everything else is really weak and pale or hamfisted. Like, if you’re going to front, you could at least not be whiny too and wallow in self-pity, and he'll always look like he's fronting when bands like Brainbombs exist.

I'm not usually a "first album is the best" type but I like Portrait the most because it felt more like aaaaugh I live in Florida but I want to get chicks type rock from the 90s. I don't like rock-star megalomania.

Kind of sounds like Stabbing Westward. They were a one-hit industrial rock wonder:

He lucked out by having very talented songwriters around him, but the music is mostly good and even his worst albums have some tracks that are decent
>>
>>127945183
He is not a musician, he is a showman and provocateur. But he has always partnered with actual musicians who do make good music. "Daisy Berkowitz" in the early days when he was getting started, then Trent Reznor in the prime Manson era, and a whole litany of others since. The short answer is yes, "his" music is good.

Not that different from Ozzy really, who never wrote a note of music in his life.

>shock rock
obviously style over substance thats the whole point

>>127945183
>style over substance
style is substance, dumb nigger

we're all just replaying the same melodies Bach has already done, the only thing distinguishing is style
>>
>>127945183
I don't think it's good. It makes me think of orcs grinding bones to make bone bread with bone flour and his fans were mostly the drugs bros and this dude can suck his own dick bros
>>
>>127948813
Mansons lyrics and vocal melodies are all his THOUGH, and they make the music
>>
portrait and a lot of the spooky kids era songs are good

would that hold up in court? big if true

>>127945183
I'd consider him more of an artist than a musician. He can't really sing. If you listen to old stuff like Irresponsible Hate Anthem he's just yelling, which is part of the charm. The allure was he's an angry kid who wanted to destroy everything and you're along for the ride.

I think Holywood and Antichrist Superstar are good, they have intelligent concepts. He still has a couple good tracks on each new album but its hard to be angry and yell when you're like 50 so the allure is less.

Imagine being this retarded. Big lol. New melodies are constantly being created. Manson never used an entire measure of notes strung together that Bach already did. Show me one instance.

I like Marilyn manson
