Don't ask questions, just go with it.]]->"''I am the God of Fuck!''"-->--"'''Cake and Sodomy'''"->"''Someone had to go this far''."-->--"'''Man That You Fear'''"Marilyn Manson (initially Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids) are an [[UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates American]] rock band founded in 1989. Most of their early music technically falls under industrial rock with some [[HeavyMetal metal]] elements (a metal style commonly referred to as IndustrialMetal) before deciding to step foot in every genre from straight-up rock to GlamRock, but the band are best known as shock rockers (a label they resent, as they felt they never were trying to be shocking, but just doing what they wanted,) with their graphic imagery and ruthless attacks on the mainstream media winning them a reputation of the kind seldom seen before in music. In fact, the [[YouCanPanicNow moral panic]] against them was so great that they were blamed for the UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}} massacre by sections of the media, under the belief that the killers had been inspired by their music (ironically, the killers hated them and saw them as sell-outs, but were Music/{{KMFDM}} and Music/{{Rammstein}} fans, instead).On the surface, this seems like an easy mistake to make. Throughout their career, Marilyn Manson have made good use of explicit live shows, controversial lyrics and outright bizarre music videos. The songs are cynical, with many lampooning conformism, social hierarchy and the media, amongst other things. Nothing was off limits, including certain members of the band's own fanbase. Despite this, in true industrial metal fashion, several of the songs and most of the videos don't give their meaning up easily, and are open to multiple interpretations.Due to the fact that the band name is also the lead singer's stage name, Marilyn Manson is one of the most notorious examples of IAmTheBand in existence. Many people are not, in fact, aware that they are a band and credit all the group's music to the singer alone. This has become more prominent over time, to the point where Marilyn Manson the person has become a household name, yet the other band members are known only by fans, ex-fans and (some) music critics. The number of them doesn't help -- Marilyn Manson's line up changes almost constantly, and [[RevolvingDoorBand they have gone through 17 guitarists, bassists, drummers and keyboardists in just 20 years.]] This has often been attributed by those who have worked with him to (among other things) Manson thinking, well, that [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin he is the band]] and the others are just there to provide background scenery for him. With the latest album however, it was [[DefiedTrope defied]], with Tyler Bates actually having quite a lot of power in the band alongside Manson, taking Twiggy's role as co-creator while Twiggy was busy marrying Laney Chantal. Bates has since left to go back into film score, with Twiggy returning.'''Current Members''':* Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner) ñ vocals, guitar, tambourine (yes, seriously, latest album has one and the Wiki lists it)* Twiggy Ramirez (Jeordie White) - Bass, occasional backing vocals at live shows* [[Music/TheDillingerEscapePlan Gil Sharone]] ñ drums* Paul Wiley ñ guitar, backing vocals, programming* Daniel Fox - keyboard, drums'''[[RevolvingDoorBand Former Members]]''':* Ginger Fish (Ken Wilson) - Drums, percussion, piano* Mark Chaussee - Guitars (touring)* Rob Holliday - Bass, Guitars (touring)* [[Music/LimpBizkit Wes]] Music/{{B|lackLightBurns}}orland - Guitars (touring)* Zsa Zsa Speck (Perry Pandrea) - Keyboards* Olivia Newton Bundy (Brian Tutunick) - Bass* Gidget Gein (Brad Stewart) (deceased) - Bass* Sara Lee Lucas (Frederick Streithorst) - Drums, Percussion* Daisy Berkowitz (Scott Putesky) - Guitars* Zim Zum (Tim Linton) - Guitars* John 5 (John Lowery) - Guitars* Madonna Wayne Gacy (Stephen Bier) - Keyboards* Tim Skold - Guitars, Bass* Chris Vrenna - Keyboards, percussion* Jason Sutter - Drums (touring)* Andy Gerold - Bass (touring)* Fred Sablan - Bass (touring)* Spencer Rollins - Keyboards (touring)* [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Tyler]] [[Film/{{Watchmen}} Bates]] ñ guitars, backing vocals'''Studio Albums''':* ''Music/PortraitOfAnAmericanFamily'' (1994)* ''Music/SmellsLikeChildren'' (1995) (EP)* ''Music/AntichristSuperstar'' (1996)* ''Remix & Repent'' (1997) (EP)* ''Music/MechanicalAnimals'' (1998)* ''Music/HolyWoodInTheShadowOfTheValleyOfDeath'' (2000)* ''The Golden Age of Grotesque'' (2003)* ''Eat Me, Drink Me'' (2007)* ''The High End of Low'' (2009)* ''Born Villain'' (2012)* ''The Pale Emperor'' (2015)* ''[=Say10=]'' (was going to be released 2/14/2017, actual street date TBA)----!! "I don't like the tropes, but the tropes like me":* AddledAddict: While heavy drug usage was common in their early days, Gidget Gein (aka Brad Roberts) was truly out of control, as his extensive heroin usage made his behavior erratic and unpredictable and led to multiple overdoses, one of which finally got him fired.* AerithAndBob: In recent years, new members have not chosen stage names whilst the old members have kept theirs. The results of this are... Interesting...* AlbumTitleDrop* AmicableExes: Manson and Dita claimed to be this, but it wasn't evident until they hung out in 2014 at an awards show, with them teasing each other over the failed marriage.* ArcNumber: 15.* AscendedFanboy: A young Manson (real name Brian Warner) appeared on an Creator/{{MTV}} program talking to a VJ about the band he was putting together. According to his autobiography, he also interviewed future collaborator [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor]] in the late '80s while working as an amateur music journalist.* AudienceParticipationSong: "Antichrist Superstar" and "This is the New Shit" are intentionally designed as these.* AutoTune: A vocoder is used to terrifying effect in the outro of "Cryptorchid" and the chorus of "Kinderfeld."* BadassBaritone: Manson, which only makes the early rumors that he was really a woman even more perplexing.* BatmanGambit:** The cover for ''Portrait of an American Family'' was originally intended to be a picture of a naked child (a five year old Manson himself -- the photo was taken by his parents in a non-sexual context, and his genitals weren't showing in the photo,) to show that an innocent photo can and will be interpreted as "pornographic." In itself this would have been an effective statement; however the proposed cover scared the record label about accusations of child pornography, and was thus not used. The censorship of the image only proved the point the band was trying to make, rather than diminishing it.** Similarly, the cover for ''Holy Wood'' depicts a violent and bloody image of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and was thus censored by the band's label in certain markets. It was originally designed to show how violent the popular scene actually is, and the act of censoring only further emphasized the violent nature of the religious parable.* BeliefMakesYouStupid and BlasphemousBoast: "The Fight Song" from ''Music/HolyWoodInTheShadowOfTheValleyOfDeath:''--> ''I'm not a slave / for a God that doesn't exist!''* BigBrotherMentor: Manson to Jack and Kelly Osbourne. Jack's first time at a strip club was with Manson, even. He also made a conscious effort to try to be this for Paris Jackson. No word on how it went, however.* BilingualBonus: "Kinderfeld."* BlahBlahBlah: In "This is the New Shit."* {{Bookends}}: ** Counting the hidden track, the two distorted "when you are suffering, know that I've betrayed you" samples at the start and end make ''Antichrist Superstar'' a perfect loop almost of the ''Music/TheWall'' variety.** ''Holy Wood'' begins and ends with a key in a lock (respectively opening and closing).* ButtMonkey: For whatever reason, most of the guitarists in the band end up in this role. ** During the recording of ''Antichrist Superstar'', the first guitarist and co-founder [[http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/2004-04-15/news/manson-family-feud/4/ Daisy Berkowitz]] became the butt of everyone's jokes. Among other things, the other members of the band microwaved his guitar picks and four-track recorder just for shits and giggles. Daisy ended up quitting halfway through the recording of the album and later had to sue Manson for unpaid royalties. ** In life, Marilyn Manson himself. Reading his autobiography is setting yourself up for wanting to give him the biggest hug. Of all time. See also: WeUsedToBeFriends.* ByronicHero: The protagonists of each album in Manson's Triptych are implied to be this ([[MindScrew assuming that they're all different people]]).* CallBack: Used all the time. For example, in ''1996'', there is the lyric "Anti the things I fucked and ate." In ''Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon'', "First you try to fuck it, then you try to eat it, and if it hasn't learned your name you better kill it before they see it." In ''Heart-Shaped Glasses'', "That blue is getting me high and making me low." The next album was ''The High End of Low''. In ''If I Was Your Vampire'', "6 a.m. Christmas morning. No shadows, no reflections here." Then, two albums later, there is the Grammy-nominated song ''No Reflection''. Manson is also known to re-use lyrics from pre-''Portrait'' songs, like "Are all your infants in abortion cribs?"** ''The Pale Emperor'' continues this fine tradition with the song "Deep Six," in the most roundabout, ultra-trolling way possible. The song references the book "The Age of Manipulation: The Con in Confidence, The Sin in Sincere". After reading the book, which came out in 1989, the year the band was formed, it's been determined by the fandom that the book pretty much is the foundation of much of Manson's beliefs, especially since other songs, "Target Audience (Narcissus Narcosis)" from ''Holy Wood'' and, most importantly, "The Beautiful People" from ''Antichrist Superstar'', got their titles from passages in it.* CarefulWithThatAxe: "Antichrist Superstar".** "1996" as well. "Light a candle for the sinners... Set the world on fire. Hahahahahaaaa... [[JumpScare YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOW!]]** The entire second half of "Para-noir".-->''"I don't need a reason to hate you the way I... '''[[JumpScare DOOOOO!!!]]'''"''** "Hey, Cruel World..."** "Irresponsible Hate Anthem".* CensoredTitle: "This is the New Shit" became "This is the New *Hit*" when censored, which is ironically, still fitting. "Pretty as a Swastika" became "Pretty as a *$*" which is likely the biggest "Fuck you" done via censorship ever.* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: In most of his earlier interviews, bassist / guitarist Twiggy was a Grade A example of this trope. Mostly he sat swaying slightly, fiddling with his clothing and staring at the ceiling, rarely speaking unless addressed directly, at which point he would reply with a nonsensical comment (one interview with Manson and Twiggy had the latter saying only "Whiskey and speed," and only answering a couple of questions with a coherent answer, before going back to "Whiskey and speed,") and in one case, only played an audio clip with a tape player. Nobody knows whether he did this intentionally as part of his stage persona, or whether he was just semi-permanently high.* ClusterFBomb: The band's songs generally contain a lot of swearing.** "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" is an especially heinous example, considering "fuck" is one of the only words of the pre-hook.** The entire ''Eat Me, Drink Me'' album was a notable aversion of this.* ConceptAlbum: ''Antichrist Superstar'', ''Mechanical Animals'', and ''Holy Wood'' actually form a trilogy about three interconnected main characters, Adam, Omega, and The Worm. Chronologically in the narrative, however, it goes in reverse order.** Somewhat debatable as to the order of the albums. Interpretations of the "Triptych" are an EpilepticTrees forest.*** [[WordOfGod Manson himself]] has stated that they go in reverse order.** The latest album, ''The Pale Emperor'' is as well, with Manson as, well, the fandom's not quite figured out everything yet. We need more literary critics. It is, however, based on the {{Faust}} myth, according to Manson.* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: The band has {{Grimmifi|cation}}ed several songs, including Music/SoftCell's "Tainted Love" and the Music/{{Eurythmics}}' "Sweet Dreams."** CoverVersion: The band has also done fairly straight covers (minus GenreShift) of "[[Music/DepecheMode Personal Jesus]]" and "You're So Vain," [[note]] Originally recorded by Music/CarlySimon and subsequently CoveredUp by a ton of other artists [[/note]], the latter featuring guitar not by Twiggy as it was for the rest of the album, but by longtime friend [[Creator/JohnnyDepp Johnny]] [[MindScrew Depp]].* DarkIsNotEvil: His darkness and use of demonic imagery is just part of his image, his public persona. He really is a pretty nice guy. Unless you're one of his ex-bandmates, ''especially'' if your name is Scott Putesky or Stephen Bier.* DeadpanSnarker: Marilyn Manson in many interviews.* DeathSong: "The Death Song" is not this. "Count To Six And Die" is.* DemotedToExtra: Roli Mosimann was chosen to produce ''Portrait of an American Family'' due to his work with Music/{{Swans}}, but he turned in a flat and lifeless mix. As an AuthorsSavingThrow, [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor]] (who agreed with Manson that the mix "sucked") brought them to LA for seven weeks of remixing and re-recording, and Mosimann was demoted to "engineer" in the album credits. Daisy Berkowitz, after enough backstabbings to be legally a pin cushion, released this mix, which also has a previously unheard song, "Filth". One can judge it for themselves.* DivorceAssetsConflict: Dita and Manson fought over the pets. Manson only got to keep one of the four, Lily White.* DownerEnding: The "Man That You Fear" video has a rather horrifying final image.** Every concept album so far has had one: ''Antichrist Superstar'' ended with the Worm going insane, becoming the Antichrist, and destroying the world; ''Mechanical Animals'' ended with everybody overdosing on drugs and dying; ''Holy Wood'' ended with Adam's revolution being corrupted into exactly what it was fighting against and his ensuing suicide; even the less-conceptual ''Golden Age of Grotesque'' ended with "The Death of Art."** ''Born Villain'' ended with an AntiLoveSong about a mutually abusive relationship ("Breaking the Same Old Ground"), followed by a cover of "You're So Vain", which does admittedly lighten it a bit.** ''The Pale Emperor'' has a downer ending too, which makes sense, since it's based on the Faust myth.* DrugsAreBad: "Coma White" and "I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)". In fact, ''Mechanical Animals'' has a lot of anti-drug stuff. They also led to Brad Stewart's death; drug usage was rampant among the band at that time, but he was completely out of control, having become increasingly unstable and unreliable in addition to repeatedly overdosing.* DudeLooksLikeALady: Quite a bit. ** Twiggy in the Antichrist Superstar era (convincing enough to make a [[MoralGuardians Christian right wing group]] say he was a female guitarist who did things onstage, which is only half-right). ** Manson also got into drag for the Music/NineInchNails video "Starfuckers, Inc." (a.k.a. [[{{Bowdlerise}} "Starsuckers, Inc."]]), and in the 'Long Hard Road Out Of Hell' video. He was surprisingly convincing on both occasions. ** [[http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/membre_groupe/photo/Gidget_Gein_(Brad_Mark_Stewart)-12688.jpg Gidget Gein]] and [[http://www.bohlmanlaw.com/images/zim35~$282$29.jpg Zim Zum]] also fit this trope.** After leaving band, Daisy started going by his initials, SMP, and joined Jack Off Jill for a time. Seeing as he was decidedly not female, and it was a riot grrrl band, [[http://www.jackoffjill.com/alumni/scott.html this had to be implimented]].* {{Feghoot}}: Manson's autobiography ''The Long Hard Road Out of Hell'' featured an entire chapter about a girl he dated who had an unusual circular birthmark around her vagina. Though many events happen during this chapter, he does close it by stating that someone else he knew (the band's then-drummer Freddy Streihorst, aka Sara Lee Lucas) started dating her and "snatched her away like a greedy little Hobbit and indeed became Literature/{{The Lord of the Ring|s}}.* FiveBadBand:** BigBad: Marilyn Manson ** TheDragon: Twiggy Ramirez** EvilGenius: Paul Wiley (does the programming)** TheBrute: Gil Sharone** DarkChick: Daniel Fox* FlatWhat: An interviewer did this after asking Twiggy about who had creative control in the band. Twiggy had replied "The chickens write the songs."* FootballFightSong: The music video for ''The Fight Song''* FreakyFashionMildMind: Despite the scary looks, he's quite an intelligent person.* GenderBlenderName: Many of the male band members use female names as their stage names. (see ThemeNaming for the reason)* HappilyMarried: Twiggy and Laney are absolutely adorable non-stop, and she often comes with the band much in the same way Manson's father Hugh does. She likes to wear Twiggy's dresses and play around, and she gets on with Manson just as well as her husband does.* HarshVocals: Obviously. Live, sometimes they will even become harsher (especially "Antichrist Superstar").* HeterosexualLifePartners: Manson and Twiggy and Manson and Johnny Depp. Possibly. None of them are 100% open about their sexualities, but Manson and Twiggy have, at the very least, performed oral sex on each other. None of them have claimed to be straight, bi, gay, pan or anything else. It's possible that Manson and Twiggy haven't been sexual since the 1990's. It's possible they're fucking as I type this.* HiddenTrack: ''Antichrist Superstar'' has the promisingly-titled "Empty Sounds Of Hate," and of course it's a series of distorted voices ending with [[BookEnds the same message that's heard at the very beginning of the album.]]** ''Mechanical Animals'' had one that was accessed by putting the CD into a computer. * HighTurnoverRate: The above list should speak for itself.* IAmTheBand: To the point where many people honestly believe that Marilyn Manson is a solo artist.* IncrediblyLongNote: More like Incredibly Long Scream. The live version of "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" on ''The Last Tour On Earth'' features Manson holding a "FUCK IIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!" for a good 20 seconds. ** "Hey, Cruel World..." has Manson holding a ''very'' [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl high]] scream for a about fourteen seconds.** "Para-Noir" has a scream that lasts approximately ''26 seconds'' from the end of the third chorus.* IndecipherableLyrics: "The Beautiful People" is this for many people and all of ''The Golden Age of Grotesque'' is this for almost everyone, fans included.* IndustrialMetal: Their primary genre, with the exception of a few albums (''Mechanical Animals'' is GlamRock and ''Eat Me, Drink Me'' is just rock, and many of their songs on albums don't care if you can put them in a single genre). They are arguably one of the most popular in the genre, along with Music/{{Rammstein}} and Music/FearFactory.* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: Many, such as "This is the New Shit", "Antichrist Superstar", "President Dead" and "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon".** Try telling someone about their cover of Music/PattiSmith's song "Rock 'N' Roll Nigger" (from ''Music/{{Easter}}''), but performed on Manson's ''Music/SmellsLikeChildren''. Just try.** "Baboon Rape Party", anyone?* IntergenerationalFriendship: Manson originally claimed this about Evan Rachel-Wood. Nobody bought it, even his wife. It turned out to be a lie, so for good reason. However, paparazzi footage does show that Laney, Lindsay, Manson and Twiggy all hang out, which is a mid-20s woman, a mid-30s woman and two mid-40s men. Lindsay is Manson's longtime fiancee and Laney is Twiggy's wife, but Manson and Laney and Twiggy and Lindsay are clearly friends, as shown by times where Twiggy and Laney have come to pick Manson and Lindsay up and swapped spots so Manson and Laney were in the back with Lindsay and Twiggy in the front.* KickTheDog: Suggested in "Little Horn":-->"Somebody better get the dog to kick"* KindheartedCatLover: He's even done photo-ops with, and of, his beloved cat, Lily White. And fed her a heart from an unidentified animal in his prosthetics room on Valentine's Day with a music box playing while he recorded it and put it on Myspace. * LargeHam: Add the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypkv0HeUvTc passionate]]/[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi5nTb-NRFU over-the-top]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kQMDSw3Aqo delivery]] with the weird imagery, and Manson ranks quite high on the hamminess.* LeadBassist: Gidget Gein and Twiggy Ramirez both got more attention than any of the guitarists. For a time, Twiggy became the guitarist[[note]]which was actually his original instrument of choice way back when he was in Amboog-a-Lard[[/note]], but now he's back on bass so Tyler Bates can do guitar.* LesserStar: Olivia Newton Bundy and [=ZsaZsa=] Speck, the original bassist and keyboardist, respectively.* LuckyCharmsTitle: "♠" (read "Spade") off ''The Golden Age of Grotesque''.* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Manson is the very epitome of this trope in the music industry. He may be well-known for his dark, villainous persona in his music, but in real life, he is a sensitive, kind-hearted NiceGuy par excellence. Case in point, in the documentary ''Film/BowlingForColumbine'', when interviewed by Creator/MichaelMoore over how his music was allegedly responsible for the massacre, he sadly answers that people should've reached out to the two perpetrators rather than label them as monsters. The real crowner, however, is his answer to Moore's final question he gave him.--> '''Moore''': If you could go back and speak to those boys before this all happened, what would you say to them?--> '''Manson''': I wouldn't say anything, I'd just listen to them; That's something that obviously nobody else bothered to do.* MetalScream: No, really? Especially prevalent in "Antichrist Superstar", but pops up a lot.* MickeyMousing: In the music video for "Antichrist Superstar" (which is just a video of a live performance), Manson manages to be a living being falling straight into the UncannyValley by moving like a badly controlled puppet, jerking harshly to the guitar.* MindScrew: For some people, Manson and Twiggy's appearance when crossdressing.** Also, the Born Villain [[InsistentTerminology trailer]] (which is actually set to "Overneath The Path of Misery"). If the random Macbeth quotes halting the song and the general insanity don't get you, [[spoiler: the eyeball in the vagina will]]. Also, it was co-written and directed by Creator/ShiaLaBeouf.* TheMistress: Evan Rachel-Wood was Manson's "friend" for a while while he was still married. Dita saw through it.* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Most of their songs are around a 7 or 8, with their softer songs going down to a 5 or 6 or even lower. "Pistol Whipped" is... somewhere.* MrFanservice: During the Spooky Kids days, this was the role of the bassist, Gidget Gein. * MyCountryTisOfTheeThatISting: His entire career is built around criticizing the hypocrisy within American society, especially by organized religion, schools and the government. Take a song named ''We're from America'' (2009): ''We're from America, we're from America, where we eat our young.''* NonAppearingTitle: Some songs.* NotSoDifferent: An argument he occasionally uses in debates with religious fundamentalists and those who condemn him.* NWordPrivileges: Averted in "Rock N Roll Nigger", a cover of Music/PattiSmith, who is ''also'' white and therefore ''also'' averted the trope. Several other songs do the same. Manson's explained that he believes that words are just that, words, and that the intent is what matters, and the hatred behind using it with a racist intent is what makes it racist, and not using it like that isn't racist.* OdeToIntoxication: "The Dope Show" is, in-universe, serious, and in real life, sarcastic (with a major MisaimedFandom) and "I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)" is anti-drug and serious.* OlderThanTheyLook: Until [=2009ish=], looking like [[http://www.thesparklingwiggles.com/images/manson.jpg this]] at age 37. And then he managed to beat decades of anorexia and proceeded [[http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/29564887/Marilyn+Manson++2009.jpg to gain an extra chin]]. Thankfully, he's starting to regress in age again, playing '''[[http://twitchfilm.com/assets_c/2013/01/wrong_cops_Marilyn_Manson_01-thumb-630xauto-36439.jpeg a teenager]]''' at the age of 43, and looking like he's in his [=mid-20s=] while doing so.* OminousMusicBoxTune: "Cryptorchid," "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," "Breaking the Same Old Ground".* PassingTheTorch: The height of Manson's infamy was probably around the time of the Columbine shootings, which many right-wing zealots were, let's say, very eager to pin on Marilyn Manson. Music/{{Eminem}}, the ''other'' big shock artist of the time, couldn't help but intervene, with a line in his song "The Way I Am" dismissing the criticism (in true Eminem fashion), which lead to Manson himself appearing in the video and making cameos at Eminem's concerts. In hindsight, this was around the time that Eminem's trailer-park horror fantasies became the new target for protest and controversy, while Marilyn Manson maintained a level of notoriety but never had the same grip on mainstream consciousness in the 2000s.* PerishingAltRockVoice: One of the many singing styles, on display in many songs, including "The Nobodies" and "Four Rusted Horses".* ProtestSong* PunBasedTitle: "[=mOBSCENE=]" and "(s)AINT", both off of ''The Golden Age of Grotesque''.* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "King! Kill! Thirty-three!"* RippedFromTheHeadlines: "Get Your Gunn" was inspired by David Gunn, an OB/GYN murdered by a [[{{Irony}} pro-life]] [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalist]] outside of his clinic. He noted that the murder being committed by a pro-life activist was the ultimate hypocrisy he'd witnessed as a young adult.** Years later, he wrote "The Nobodies" as his response to the [[{{UsefulNotes/Columbine}} Columbine massacre]].* RecurringRiff: In ''Born Villain'', the opening vocal growl from "No Reflection" is repeated in full in "The Gardener" and partially in "Disengaged".* RecordProducer: Manson has had a co-producer credit on every album, but he's always gotten assistance from others -- Trent Reznor (''Portrait of an American Family'', ''Antichrist Superstar''[[note]]This one also included Sean Beavan and [[Music/SkinnyPuppy Dave Ogilvie]], from the NIN camp[[/note]]), [[Music/{{Soundgarden}} Michael]] [[Music/RedHotChiliPeppers Beinhorn]] (''Mechanical Animals''), [[Music/{{Oasis}} Dave Sardy]] (''Holy Wood''), Ben Grosse (''The Golden Age of Grotesque'', which was co-produced by bandmate Tim Skold), and others.* ReligionRantSong: "The Fight Song", "Cake and Sodomy" and "The Reflecting God", among many others. * RevolvingDoorBand: You did read that LongList of former members at the top, right?* RockstarSong: ''Mechanical Animals'' is a rockstar album.* RoomFullOfCrazy: Some part of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmfQ7gSaJgM "Tourniquet" official video]].* {{Satire}}: "This is the New Shit" may be this to...well, new music. It ''seems'' like just a mindless indulgance, [[HiddenDepths but only on the surface]]. "Everything has been '''said before''' / '''Nothing left to say''' anymore..."** It's also sort of an [[TakeThatAudience attack on the fans]] who don't understand [[MindScrew what his songs are about]] ("Do we get it? [[AudienceParticipationSong NO!]]"), but simply want more of it ("Do we want it? [[AudienceParticipationSong YEAH!]]"). This even shows in the MotorMouth pre-chorus:-->Babble, babble, [[ClusterFBomb bitch, bitch]]\\[[{{Delinquents}} Rebel, rebel,]] [[WildTeenParty party, party]]\\[[InterplayOfSexAndViolence Sex, sex, sex and don't forget the violence]]\\BlahBlahBlah, [[TastesLikeDiabetes got your lovey-dovey, sad and lonely]]\\Stick your stupid slogan in, everybody sing along* SelfBackingVocalist* SequelSong: "Coma Black" to "Coma White", although it's actually "Coma White" to "Coma Black".* SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll: The band single-handedly kept America's cocaine industry going through TheNineties. Well, sort of. Brad Stewart probably also kept more than a few heroin dealers afloat until it cost him his life.* ShoutOut: ** The "Inauguration of the Worm" and "Disintegrator Rising" cycles from ''Antichrist Superstar'' are references to Kenneth Anger's films ''Inauguration of the Pleasuredome'' and ''Lucifer Rising''.** The line "We're from America/where we eat our young" sounds like a reference to [[Music/GeorgeClinton Funkadelic]]'s album ''America Eats Its Young''.** Rather HateDumb-ishly, the chorus of "[=mOBSCENE=]" was accused of being too imitative of the chorus of Music/FaithNoMore's "Be Aggressive" [[note]]both were based off a cheerleading routine [[OlderThanTheyThink that predates either song]][[/note]], "The Fight Song" was accused of being a SuspiciouslySimilarSong to [[Music/{{Blur}} "Song 2"]] and "Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes" is occasionally charged with ripping off Music/{{Ministry}}'s "Burning Inside". [[invoked]]** "Heart Shaped Glasses" references the iconic glasses Dolores wore on the poster for Stanley Kubrick's ''Literature/{{Lolita}}'', and the song itself talks about attraction to a much younger girl (this is also a reference to Warner's then girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood, who is 19 years younger than him and likes heart shaped glasses). ** The fandom is still trying to figure out the number of shout outs. There's a lot. The "Born Villain" trailer mentioned under MindScrew for example, opens with a reference to ''Film/TheHolyMountain'', whose director is a good friend of his and officiated his wedding to Dita von Teese.* SingingVoiceDissonance: Manson is quite the calm talker. Listen to the live version of "I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)" from ''The Last Tour On Earth''. Calm Manson talking, not-calm Manson singing.* TheSomethingSong: "The Love Song" on ''Holy Wood'', followed '''immediately''' by "The Fight Song" and later on, "The Death Song".* SongsOfSolace: Mr. Manson has acknowledged their music's usage in this form.* SpellingSong:** "Burning Flag"--->We've got our A-B-Cs and our F-U-C-K--->[[ClusterFBomb F-U-C-K]]--->[[ClusterFBomb F-U-C-K]]** "(s)AIN'T"--->I've got an 'F', and a 'C', and I got a 'K' too--->And the only thing that's missing is a bitch like 'U'* SpiritualSuccessor:** Marilyn Manson got one later with metallers Motionless in White. [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liiux85ZHH1qdk3v9o1_500.jpg Chris Motionless]] and [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Marilyn_Manson_Cannes.jpg Manson himself]] look similar, have similar IndustrialMetal and GothicMetal sound, have lots of ReligionRantSong, both have had [[RevolvingDoorBand a hard time keeping members]] and even have [[http://www.metalsucks.net/2013/06/03/im-not-saying-motionless-in-white-wanna-be-marilyn-manson-butttt/ similar logos.]] ** When Marilyn Manson started to become known outside of the south Florida metal scene, people would often compare him to Music/AliceCooper.*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU3l0gkk-E0 Taken to meta levels now that the two have been seen together numerous times]].* SpokenWordInMusic: "Para-noir".* SubliminalSeduction: "Tourniquet" begins with a repeated, back-masked phrase: "[[spoiler:This is the lowest point of my vulnerability]]."* SurrealMusicVideo: Most of them, but "Sweet Dreams" is an {{egregious}} example.* TakeThat: Usually aimed towards religion, mainstream media, mob mentality, etc. The first actual song on ''Portrait of an American Family'', "Cake and Sodomy" was aimed towards the former two, inspired by Manson watching public access TV and seeing [[TheFundamentalist Pat Robertson]] preach about the evils of society before asking for the viewer's credit card number, followed by a man masturbating on the adjacent channel and asking for the same thing.** Unusually, there was one aimed at a section of the band's own fans. The song "This Is the New Shit" was written about fans who didn't even try to understand the point behind the band's music, preferring to just cheer everything indiscriminately.* ThemeNaming: The original band members' pseudonyms are formed by taking the first name of a female sex symbol, and the surname of a serial killer (''Creator/{{Marilyn|Monroe}}'' Monroe and Charles ''[[UsefulNotes/CharlesManson Manson]]''). This practice stopped with Zim Zum in the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Antichrist Superstar]] era.* AThreesomeIsManly: Rare all-male example in the "(s)AINT" video, with Marilyn Manson engaging in a threeway with former bassist Gidget Gein and Series/{{CSI}}'s Eric Szmanda.* TitleTrack: ''Antichrist Superstar'', ''Mechanical Animals,'' ''Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)'' (the title of the song is just "In the Shadow of the Valley of Death," however), ''The Golden Age of Grotesque,'' ''Eat Me, Drink Me,'' ''Born Villain.'' ** ''Smells Like Children'' had a title track that wasn't included on the EP; it was performed live several times in the ensuing tour before being rearranged and slowed down to create the lumbering "Kinderfeld," which would then appear on ''Antichrist Superstar.''** "The High End of Low" almost had one, but it was renamed "I Have To Look Up Just To See Hell". The phrase is still there.** ''Born Villain'' was originally to be called ''Co-Morbid'', which would have meant no title track, but Manson felt it sounded too death metal.** ''The Pale Emperor'' is never said in the album. The album was called ''Deep Six'' originally. * TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Wanna freak Marilyn Manson out? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XG7eu09PBo Here's a how-to guide.]] Teena Bird is another infamous nutty fangirl.* {{Troll}}: Manson himself is the biggest troll both to mainstream media and his own fans. "This Is The New Shit" is an attack on his fans, and The Nachtkabarett could be used for a good argument that he never sleeps, because of the hundreds of essays that are needed to decode all the imagery, symbolism, obscure references and other stuff in his music, clothing, pictures, videos, words and more. Were it to be ported to TV Tropes, the only thing preventing it from becoming an AllBlueEntry would be the obscurity of everything referenced. * {{Ubermensch}}: Manson (the person) use to see himself as one of these and plays this role in ''Antichrist Superstar''.* UnholyMatrimony: Twiggy and Laney, the male Kinderwhore and the adorable porn star. Formerly, Manson and Dita. If they ever move past engaged, Manson and Lindsay.* UnpluggedVersion: Many, oftentimes of more emotional songs like "The Man That You Fear" and "Coma White".* VillainsActHeroesReact: This trope inspired ''Born Villain,'' with Manson bringing it up in interviews quite often. That's why he chooses to be the villain, because the villain is the one that fights for their beliefs, right or wrong, and tries to make a change.* VillainousFriendship: Manson and Johnny Depp have been friends since the 1980s, and told tales of their antics, which is the only fitting word. They have matching tattoos, Manson is "Uncle Manson" to Depp's daughter, and smoke weed in public. Manson and Twiggy are another long-lasting one, with a few year break at the start of the millennium. Back when they were friends, Manson and Daisy took the villainous part way further, almost torching the entire apartment complex Manson's female stalker lived in, but they were scared away by a hobo. Manson and Music/{{Rammstein}} as well, especially him and Richard Kruspe. Manson and Till have even been arrested for the same thing: fake penis use on stage.* WeUsedToBeFriends: Manson was close friends with [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor,]] who got his band on his Nothing Records label, produced their first two albums and generally helped promote them. Then, at some point they had a pretty drastic falling out, and despite a short reconciliation around 1999-2000 (enough for Manson to make a cameo in the "Starfuckers, Inc." video and play a concert together), they pretty quickly went back to not being on such good terms anymore. Trent took a potshot or two at Manson, mocking his "Personal Jesus" cover when responding to a fan's question, and Manson's still angry because the Nothing people lost the master tracks for his first three albums[[note]]This wasn't strictly Trent's fault, as he got involved in a lawsuit with his former manager and gave up the label. Also, Rob Sheridan had to completely re-do the artwork for the ''Pretty Hate Machine'' remaster because Gary Talpas' original was lost by the Nothing staff as well, so they were incompetent on several levels.[[/note]]. The whole feud's died down somewhat since, even if they're not gonna start being friendly again anytime soon.-->'''[[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3b5foc/marilyn_manson_ama/csj0sqo Reddit user]]:''' Are you and Trent Reznor cool?-->'''Manson:''' I mean, I don't have a problem with him. I have a problem with some of the things he's done to me in my career. But at the same time, I have to give him credit where credit is due, as being inspiration when I was starting out and giving me my break. But we're not at odds with each other. I just don't have interest in being friends anymore.** Manson's respective friendships with Daisy Berkowitz and Madonna Wayne Gacy also seem to have gone down in flames quite spectacularly. Then again, lawsuits will do that (though relations with the latter had gone very far south before he even left, let alone took Manson to court).* WordSaladLyrics: Manson makes extensive use of contrasting imagery, such as religious idols, political icons, and childhood figures, with grotesque sexuality and gun violence.* WrenchWhack: The song "Snake Eyes and Sissies" is about a psychotic guy and mentions using a wrench as a weapon in its beginning.* {{Yandere}}: Pops up in many of the songs about Manson's romantic life, because Manson is one.* YokoOhNo: In-universe of sorts. Manson says that Dita drained him creatively and tried to change him against his will, which is why the 2005 Celebritarian Era album never happened, and was part of the reason Manson and Dita split. Averted by Twiggy and Laney. Even before they were married, she'd tag along on tours sometimes, with no issues, and she's doing it again on the Hell Not Hallelujah Tour.* YourCheatingHeart: Manson cheated on Dita with Evan.----->''When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed.''----

Hey there,
Now when i realized, I felt regretted a bit for myself.
Every time when i turned my eyes to another direction, I see beautiful decent looking girl walking towards my direction.
But I failed to block her using hand gesture and say hi to her SPONTANEOUSLY (I have done direct approaches like this, giving compliment and it worked well, but didn't go far)
I feel so bad, every time when i thought i didn't stop this girl... anxiety is there, confidence is not always on...
How can I be SPONTANEOUS meeting girls?

@Prilee1992 Sounds like you meet/run into these girls when you are out and about. One quick ice-breaker would be just ask them for directions to spark up a conversation00|00|0
i try to be more honest, say what i like about the person...
asking for direction could be unnatural for me, since i live at the area..
@Prilee1992 If your approach is working for you then stick with it. My guess is that going up to random girls and telling them what you like about their looks will be challenging in terms of getting responses. I would be interested to see what girls think.

Right now, it I am using a Wordpress install with various plugins to achieve what I want (bbpress for forums -- used Simple Press in the as well, All-In-One Event Calendar, a community made theme, private messaging plugin, Google Analytics plugin, Advanced Access Manager, etc). I'm finding that all these plugins still leave out functionality I wish I had or force me to consider purchasing their premium versions (which can add up to the cost of a XF license). Also it's becoming harder to maintain the current functions I have given some plugins I used to use are no longer maintained (or their latest version are buggy as hell).
For the longest time, I've always wanted a vB or IPS forum (or some other premium paid-for forum + CMS software). After some research and debate, I've narrowed down my possible choices to: XenForo and vBulletin. I'm leaning towards XF as development seems to be progressing along nicely, plugins/addons seem to be of a higher quality than most of what the vBulletin community puts out, and pricing is a lot more affordable in the short-term (long-term is still up-in-the-air). XenPorta is one of the major reasons why I'm considering XF over vBulletin.
Even after doing weeks of research, lurking around the forums, playing around with the demo, and reading through XF's site, I'm still left with some questions:
1. If I purchase a license, is it tied to the first domain I use it with? If I later get rid of the domain, can I use the license on a new domain?
2. How easy is it to create a theme for XF? Are there any resources and sample themes to help me develop my own along the way? Is the theming/styling of XF well documented?
3. I foresee needing a downloads management plugin of some sort. Does the XF Resource Manager fulfill this role? Or should I look to a community made plugin or perhaps pay for a custom-made plugin?
4. Is there any plugin (or perhaps built-in functionality) for private replies to topics within a forum (only admins, the poster, and possibly certain users/user groups can see/reply)?
5. Are there plugins for post composition level spell checking, disabling parsing of smileys in posts, multiple custom user ranks, etc?
6. I will be using the software on a shared web host. Is there a general rule-of-thumb for how large the forum gets, how many visitors daily, etc before I should consider moving my install over to a VPS/semi-dedicated hosting plan?

Inheritance Journal part 2
- Slavery, piano,own, trade, what I notice is that the words have to relate to the history of the piano. What they have in common is that it was in slavery time when they had that piano.
- It tells me that all the words have something in common because it all tells about the piano because the owners trade two slaves in for the piano.
- The conflict is that the brother wants to sell the piano but the sister didn't want to sell that piano because it has the family history on it.
- I think that they should keep the piano because it has the history of their family and it tells what happened. Also their grandfather gave the piano to the brother before he died.

Hot Trailer: 'Fight To Live' Docu
2 Comments
Check the definition of HOT please.
The is a TERRIBLE trailer for what looks like a great doc.
Cant the producers do a little research and hire someone, ANYONE, to cut a good piece?
How'd she go from groundbreaking documentaries on the labor movement to garbage anti-FDA stuff?
I guess neo-liberal docs are the new hot thing in the community.

Articles About First Presbyterian Church :: Page 2
Pastor Derrick Weston to leave— Social justice voice to move on
Pastor Derrick Weston will soon leave the First Presbyterian Church, which he has led since January 2012, to work towards just that cause as he becomes the director of a non-profit community development organization that empowers inner-city youth in Pittsburgh.
New pastor leads King center
This month in separate but coordinated moves, Derrick Weston was hired as the new pastor of the First Presbyterian Church as well as the new director of Antioch College's Coretta Scott King Center for Cultural and Intellectual Freedom.
Of sharing food and company
At three upcoming potlucks, starting next week, villagers can share their cooking and enjoy the "luck of the pot."
Minister passionate about justice
Now preaching from the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church, new pastor Joe Hinds has a Southern accent and a passion for social justice.
Youth linen drive aids women's shelter
The youth of First Presbyterian Church are holding a linen drive throughout the month of November, collecting new, white linens for the Family Violence Protection Center of Greene County.
Shower of Stoles to exhibit at Presbyterian church
Drawing attention to the plight of gay, lesbian bisexual and transgender people of faith around the country, next weekend the Yellow Springs First Presbyterian Church will host a national exhibit of liturgical stoles representing 1,000 homosexual clergy members of 32 religious denominations, many who have been excluded from serving in their church due to their sexual orientation.

Presbyterians throw birthday bash for community
The Yellow Springs First Presbyterian Church is throwing a 150th birthday party for the community that supported it through its long history on Friday, Sept. 3 from 7 p.m. to 9 on the church's front lawn.
Presbyterians celebrate 150th
In 1855 the First Presbyterian Church was founded in Yellow Springs when Nancy Love, tired of going by horseback in bad weather to churches in Clifton and other nearby towns, successfully convinced her husband Robert to start, with other locals, a Presbyterian church here in town. Five years later, the members, for $5,000, built the church that still stands on Xenia Avenue today.
Church harbors a market in winter
While church basements tend to be the place for after-service coffee hours and socials, the basement of the Yellow Springs United Methodist Church will soon veer off the traditional path and host vegetables. Beginning this Saturday, Jan. 9, from 9 a.m. to noon, the church will sponsor its first winter farmers market.

Two Worlds 2 was originally going to launch the same week when Halo:Reach launched. Then publisher SouthPeak moved the release to October in fear of Reach fully overshadowing them. Now the game has been delayed again to make sure the release will have no big competition for it's launch. With October titles such as Fallout: New Vegas and Rock Band 3 as well as November heavy hitters Gran Turismo 5, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, who wouldn't want to delay their game to make sure that a release is not going to be over shadowed by big heavy hitters.
This date is only for North America and a European and Australia release will be announced soon.

Get Answers to Bird Care Questions. Ask a Bird Specialist.
My canary has a very swollen area under his tail. I have attached a picture. The poop also appears to be collecting on it and is very hard. I first noticed it a couple of months ago. (I noticed it visually - nothing in his behaviour indicated anything was wrong). All along his energy has seemed pretty normal and he has been eating regularly. However, I have noticed more recently that he seems to be sleeping a little more and he hasn't resumed singing after molting. On Saturday I noticed blood in the bottom of the cage and I also noticed he seemed to be sitting a little lower and breathing more quickly and shallow. (Still on his perches, not on the bottom of the cage). I set him in some water hoping that it would loosen the feces - it didn't do much at all (he has refused to bath on his own for the past couple of months). I read a little about birds getting eggbound. I am fairly confident the bird is a male, but I don't know that for sure. I'd like to know if there is anything I can do to help him. If he needs to go to the vet, I'd appreciate any info as to how involved it could be.
