YOU ASKED FOR IT....Teens React to Marilyn Manson (50k Sub Special) | Mike The Music Snob Reacts

[@Inferiis]

I'm not a big fan of Manson's music, but he's an interesting man, that's for sure. Go watch some interviews with him, he's pretty fckn educated. Yes, he's weird, but he knows his shit, and knows a lot about arts and has an interesting view on things. I think that's why his music is that stuff, he's more like an artist, not a "musician", and artists are strange

[@kimgords]

Souvenir Alex Music is an art, but not all musicians are artists. A lot of musicians make empty beats for the sole purpose of money and fame. Actual ARTISTS are passionate and mainly want to portray a message. Chill out with your edgy insults.

[@kimgords]

Souvenir Alex What are you even talking about? Of course Manson is a musician. But not all musicians are ARTISTS. Manson is also an artist because he puts passion into his work... There is a difference between doing something solely because you love it and doing something purely for money. People who are only in it for the money and make mindless beats are not artists.

There was a famous interview with Manson after a shooting (I presume it was Columbine, but it might have been another one) where the interviewer asked him what he would say to the kids who did it, and he replied, "I wouldn't say anything, I would listen to what they had to say, because that's what no one did." I think that really speaks of where he stands regarding the whole thing. Also, if you haven't yet, listen to his Food Pyramid song from Clone High. It is glorious.

[@1893unknownuser]

Yes, true... they're both good on a different way, but the Manson one hit me more...

[@bert1029]

I think that controversial and shocking artists, such as Marilyn Manson, do serve an important purpose in society because they make you re-evaluate your personal beliefs. When Marilyn Manson wipes his ass on the American flag or destroys a Bible, I think we (subconsciously or consciously) examine why we feel shock towards the desecration of a piece of fabric or some paper. At this point, we either choose to continue in our belief in these symbols, or we reject them. Both options are valid, but either way, I think artists like Marilyn Manson are beneficial, as they promote individual thought instead of simply going along with the way of thinking that you have been socialised to have.

[@lukeyt963]

[@J_Warral]

Funny thing is, I think this is the point of Manson. By pushing it over the edge, he makes you look into that darker side of human mind, discuss it, learn it, perhaps seek ways to avoid it - after all, how can you avoid a danger you are totally unaware of, or even decieving yourself that it doesn't exist? Even in this video, I may say, that Manson's music unwantingly caused the discussion about morality and etc. P.S. Yep, look at those comments. That's the point - even here, in comments, people go discussing value of faith, religion, freedom and etc.

[@crispy6367]

The reason she would say that "it's like an atheist music video" is because she's ignorant to the definition of atheism and how it has zero correlation to satanism or in that case demonic symbolism. (Atheism-disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.) Big fan btw.

[@SadPeterPan1977]

I can't say I'm shocked by her saying it. Atheism is one of the least tolerated 'beliefs' in the US with over 50% of Americans saying they should be banned from publicly displaying atheism and over a third saying they should be banned from becoming President, teach in schools or hold a rally. I guess it's a short stretch from saying that lack of religious belief means you should be a 2nd class citizen to thinking satanic imagery must be atheism. Maybe Manson created his persona and image precisely to piss those people off but in terms of what atheism actual is about satanism is just another part of the same fairytale we reject. If most people seem to find comfort in their fairytales then fine but atheists don't seem to need that comfort blanket.

[@diexbag7637]

To be fair, satanism in general is branch of atheism, started by LaVey. It's all philosophy and symbolism though, actual devil worshipers are very few and mentally insane.

[@stickystick1839]

Vas Diexus to be fair, LaVey's "religion" was more about you respecting yourself as a human, and the ones that are around you, it was called satanism because at that time any religion that was not christian was considered satanism, but he didn't worship the devil, so he didn't start satanism as it is today, he actually founded some rules, and came up with a philosophy that a society could really well live by, his phylosophy was more like atheism

[@diexbag7637]

I was pretty sure it was called Satanism because he knew Christians would never read something called the Satanic Bible and they proved his point. And he did start it, as I said, the large majority of people calling themselves Satanists are atheists who follow a similar philosophy, I doubt there are a lot of actual devil worshipers, at least worshipers of the 'evil incarnate' interpretation (like Richard Ramirez)

I agree with you for the most part, you always do great analyses. Few words to clarify some things: Marilyn Manson is actually a very clever, reasonist, atheist guy who has just said that Satan is a misunderstood character in the christian mythology. While I agree that his vocals are not that great, his music, lyrics, messages are phenomenal. He has always said that he's essentially an artist, art is his passion. Of course he wouldn't be there without the shock value, but that's the point, he's trying to shock all these people that are stuck in a religious, capitalistic, nationalistic, modern-day "philosophy". Either you become a fan or a hater. That's why he's often being labeled as a satanist, that's one of the best ways to trigger most religious folks out there. Also, he has a good amount of actually great songs out there, totally worth your time.

[@akenawell]

George Tsolkas Agreed. I love Mike but I think his opinion on Manson is somewhat driven by preconceived notions about Mansons antics rather than looking at the deeper meaning and expression of the social messages he conveys.

[@RexNicolaus]

Well... Lucifer is the greatest deciever of all. He can make you believe that he is not such a bad guy and such so... to me, as a Christian, he is fooled by Satan to believe he is not as bad as he was depicted in the Bible. It even says that the greatest trick he would play is making others believe he does not exist. I am not making you all believe what I believe in, but this is coming from what I learned from the Bible.

[@matejtrnovec9144]

No this isn´t meaning of words that are in Bible. Manson is very similiar to Christ (like a rebellious popular figure in society) and Lucifer is not even in Bible and originally it is not christian but roman mythology figure made from words "lux" = light "ferre" = carrier. Mythological christian story (not biblical!!!) is about argument between God and Lucifer (Lucifer was like shiniest star in the sky, most powerful angel). Lucifer for some reason fall from Heaven because his opinion on humans (or world, or universe - whatever) was different than God´s. Lucifer is first rebel and even him is very similiar to Christ. That´s about your knowledge of Biblie. I like Marilyn and I think he is very needed artist by society (even by christians)...

You should try his last album, The Pale Emperor. It's more of a bluesy type rock based on atmosphere, instead of industrial. Rolling Stone had it as the best metal album of 2015, and even though I disagree with that. It still might be his best album. It's really stripped down to mainly drums and bass. You might like it if you can get past his voice. The main reason I even started listening to some of his music is because of his voice. He might not be a great singer, in the traditional sense, but his voice is unique.

[@franohmsford7548]

Not make a pretty lil song ppl like to hear and is why vocals aren't really important when talkin about Manson unless you're one of those live performance snobs.

The thing you have to remember about Marilyn Manson, was the time period in which he gained popularity. Yes, he was shock value for shock value's sake. That is what was needed at that time, and he provided that niche. This was a time when practically every hard rock and heavy metal band, and every hip hop artist were being slammed in mainstream media, and by politicians as being evil, satanic, and causing violence. Ozzy was sued for his song Suicide Solution, for crying out loud. We needed someone like Manson to come along and push that envelope farther, and push back against mainstream society's idea of puritanism.

[@GoCeltics734]

Acts like Manson, Rob Zombie, Slipknot, Alice Cooper are about the entire experience...audio and visual. The music is made as much to compliment the visuals as much as it is made to stand on its own. These are acts that are far better seen live, which is the perfect environment to get all aspects of their act as they are meant to be experienced. Think of their music more like a movie soundtrack than as a stand alone piece of music Also, credit where it's due Mike, very fair and accurate description of Manson. If shock rock acts aren't your thing then yes, you won't love it. Shock fans value the visual as much as the music, which runs counter to a music fans like yourself that dissect the music itself and love to nerd out on music theory.

However, eminem went through a similar case back in the early 2000’s and another case even blamed Grand Theft Auto for their child’s behavior... like you’ve stated you could argue that was part of the environment but it boils down to the parents not being a parent to their kids.

I still remember the day I picked up Golden Age of Grotesque, and really digging that new KMFDM vibe he had, and then opening up the liner notes and seeing he'd picked up Tim Skold. I went through a Manson phase, and what I took away from it was that the guy thrives on narrative. In one of my shortest ever meets, I gave him a fist bump and a "go kill em'" walking past him in the back hall on his way onstage. He said kinda surprised "Hey. Thanks man." Nervous. Literally just 2 dudes walking opposite ways down a hallway. Fist bump. Good wishes. Devil horns. that's it. I think he had a case of pre-show butterflies combined with probably expecting me to fanboy and/or stab him. This was Mile High Stadium, Denver, 2000. About 20 min away from Columbine, and there were protestors outside the venue with picket signs and chanting, and they were trying to get us to trade our METALLICA tickets for tickets to the Nuggets instead. Denver peeps, you know what a joke that was back then. Cop pulled me over...gave me a ticket...to the Nuggets. Anyways. Manson. Cool dude.

Finally you are such a intelligent cool dude but no whiskey

[@tnightwolf]

I prefer thinking you're the fool if you think it's "tea". Imo he just doubled down on it!

[@davidbenoist4223]

[@davidbenoist4223]

[@sonyabelmontfarenheght1189]

Orange Lemon read your comment,wanted to punch your stupid head with baseball bat

[@blackhat958]

Carla Mary Blacke punch with a baseball bat? Okay.

[@nookvosse4246]

@BecomeTheKnight Congrats on your 50k!! Loving the channel, not a gigantic fan of manson, but i like listening ot from time to time, but as to the message, the guy has a quite some argument on what he sais, it would be onteresting to see a conversation between you and him :'D and i kind of believe that if someone is in a mental state to let him or herself be influenced by a song, then that person is already fucked up enough, having listened to the song or not. Just my opinion Again, you are one of my favourite channels Keep up the great work

[@mavers74]

Beautiful People video is a jewel by Floria Sigismondi

[@greenhare8122]

That's what I've been waiting for. Cheers mate

[@dragonhowto]

Very proud of your 50k. You definitely deserve more. #changeallJakePaul'ssubsintoMike'ssubs

[@BecomeTheKnight]

Oh if only.......

[@thecritigamer4321]

The fact that jake Paul even has any subs is a travesty in an of itself.

[@thrashgoblin9926]

I like that you are respectful of the musicians as an artist even though the work's sometimes not really your bag. Kudos! I'd like to digitally shake your hand here, way cool. See ya next time, ace!

[@nicklasmittlestat7765]

I like some of what Marilyn Manson has made but I have to agree with Mike about the artist thing. He is an artist in shock value and he is really good at what he does. I think he deserves some respect in that regard.

[@tomgekas7077]

Congrats Mike^^ been here since 8k subs. Keep it up brother \,,/

[@GrayWoIf]

Columbine shooters didn't like him they basically called him a poser they where more fans of Nine Inch Nails as far as quoting Nine Inch Nails lyrics in their diary.

[@arashgiani]

Hey Man, I came across your video by accident and really enjoyed your thoughts on someone I admired deeply back in the late 90’s and early 00’s as a teenager. Your take was extremely fair and I don’t even see him as a great musician. But his message was very clear, emotionally charged and invited all the weirdos to be themselves and question everything (specifically social norms). If you look at his bio, you’ll see that he never had any music-related education or experience and he always been a journalist reporting on what he saw was wrong and for some of us, this was the only therapy we had available ;)

[@arashgiani]

People often talk about the negative effects of this type entertainment but Marilyn Manson in Mechanical Animals talks about how weird and different he his from the mainstream and then in Tainted Love, goes and takes over cool-kids party while still being himself. This message made me a creative director for an advertising agency with international brands as clients. I think this side of him often gets overlooked.

[@musicevangelist]

The argument that music can cause issues like Columbine and other incidents of the type always runs up against Charles Manson and him "hearing messages" in The Beatles which he said caused him to kill.

[@jamesfoster7735]

Daniel Beeching Music doesn't do it, mental health issues do.

[@polly_molly18]

I am 13 yrs old and I am a big fan of Marilyn manson🖤

[@juniorsutereo]

you can dislike Marilyn manson is cool but his lyrics, are insanely profound he is not a great singer he doesnt play any instrument, but he is pure esthetic, his first albums had characters and were conceptual his performance his live showswere brilliant, the way he presents himself I mean the first trilogy was so above average.

[@Ben-xj2rf]

that doesn't mean his music is good

[@VinceFerrante]

Congrats Mike on 50k, you are easily one of the best content creators and one of the smartest people on this site

[@Donnelly5321]

React to Frog Leap Studios - Metal covers... PLEASE

[@nickregan2874]

Love your chanel!

[@akenawell]

First of all, I really love your other videos and generally agree with you....but you seem to have manson a little wrong dude. The man is wicked intelligent and all about the artistry. Everything he does from his appearance to the music to the videos to the live performance is part of his all-encompassing artistry, which I know you touched on, but I think you're giving him less credit than he deserves for the music itself. I personally agree that the spooky kid stuff is awful, but antichrist, mechanical animals, and holy wood are absolutely full of phenomenally well written music (yes even from a theory standpoint) and fantastically significant/substantive lyrics. He's also a decent singer for what his art necessitates. It's worth looking more into/giving some deeper thought than just making assumptions based on the "shock value". Also he's an atheist. The satanic imagery and "influence from LeVey" are all part of the art and the character. He's just a plain atheist.

[@petarstojanovickucamaca123]

Yay, 50k!!!

[@mralexsambo]

The way you speak about him actually reminds me a phone call between M. MANSON and Justin Beaber. Beaber talking about making music together 😂😂😂 and Manson answer was: whatever you say man! He was being sarcastic and showing he doesn't have time for this shit. I bet after your review on his music he would say: Whatever you say man. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@caraellen936]

Yes!!! I've been waiting for this!

[@wikidclownchris]

Has he reacted to Batmetal?

[@skepticmonkey6923]

no

[@wikidclownchris]

MR SNUGGLETONS I know i just think it'd be funny for him to react to I think it was teens reacting to it

[@ryanlong2480]

I appreciate what you’re doing on here

[@flightgravity7483]

I love Manson's "trilogy" (Antichrist, Mechanical Animals, Holy Wood), but I rarely visit any of his other material. EXCEPT! Eat Me, Drink Me is, to me, one of his finest albums. For Manson, it's a very naked album in that he tries to provide vocal melodies more than his typical shout-talking thing. There's also some wicked guitar work on that album, including several great guitar solos. I was hoping he was going in this direction from there on out, but he immediately went back to trying to recapture the '90s again. Eat Me, Drink Me is mature, and closer to classic rock/metal than anything he's ever done.

[@morghann21313]

So I know this is a really late response, I watched a recent interview with Manson and Danny Elfman that took place around 2006 after the release of "this is Halloween" and Manson had commented that this project reminded him that he could sing and inspired him to get back into the studio. Following if which Eat me, Drink me came out in 2007. One of my favorite album of his, and has really only grown on me more as I've grown older.

[@vanessamartinez8137]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG

[@theramchepser7644]

I love marilyn manson I respect your opinion about marilyn manson

[@jeremyx2k20]

"The Beautiful People" video makes me think of the movie "The Cell"

[@LordSummerIsle73]

Manson is weird yes, but extremely smart and intelligent

[@siegpasta]

Think this format for these videos are much better than before. Liked this video alot. Clean and to thr point :)

[@aymericthierry6680]

And the same day Marilyn released a new song!!!

[@nastasiasafta7943]

Finally❤❤Congrats on reaching 50k subscribers🤘🏻

[@snoopfrogg1975]

Bro, I love Marilyn Manson. I love his voice and his earlier music and his more modern music

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

The Beautiful People is about the great lenghts that Hollywood stars go to so they can still appear youthful.

[@ss-gr8lt]

How come atheism is treated as some sort of mental disorder in the US? In most developed countries its just the default view... Why the hostility?

[@Trollzor9049]

wow, the last time I check the amount of subs in ur channel it was like 46,000+ now it's it's up to 51,000+ subs, FINALLY more and more people know where to come to for music opinions.

[@Trollzor9049]

And facts!!

[@tomavictor7278]

As an atheist I can say that I agree with some of the stuff that Manson says and does. Maybe he is not that much of a talented musician, but he definatly is a smart man and a good lyricist, if he makes the lyrics for the band.

[@c.t.1893]

That opening though... "It's finally time... Fuck it!" 😂 Just for that, have my sub! 🤘👊

[@severancedenied]

Congrats Mike. Glad to see you grow

[@Sayp]

Congratz on 50k my man! 100k is right around the corner :D

[@xcupcakexheartagramx]

As a huge Manson fan I’d like to say, even though you don’t like him, you don’t hate on him for the sake of hating. I appreciate that. You made some really good points, actually. I totally disagree about his voice though. It might not be technically good, but it’s unique and I’d say that’s what a lot of people like about him.

[@KaedeLanyo]

Glad to be a a drop in the sub bucket.
