ARMA-GODDAMN-MOTHERFUCKIN’-MANSON

 Thursday, May 14th, 2009 at 4:30pm by

NME.com just debuted the new Marilyn Manson video, “Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin’-Geddon,” or, as it seems to be called for the purposes of this lame ass video, “Arma-arma-arma-arma-armageddon.”

So, yeah, the song has grown on me slightly since I first heard it, but it’s still not great, and the video sucks – it’s like a parody of a cliché of Manson videos. Also, funny that Twiggy is the only other band member in the video. Also, funny that he’s playing guitar.

Manson’s new album, The High End of the Low, comes out May 26. Everything we’ve heard/seen from it so far suggests that it’s going to blow goats.

    Why is it funny that Twiggy is playing guitar??

    He plays bass live, but he has also always played guitar in studio.

    Some of the other songs I’ve heard from the album seem pretty good, they remind me of the slow stuff on “Mechanical Animals” mixed with the solid stuff from “Holy Wood”

    Better than “Eat Me Drink Me” that’s for sure.

    Manson always picks bad songs for singles… It’s like he doesnt want good attention.

      Once he stopped being self destructive & moved into this whole artist bit ie props set dressing costume changes in between every song the paintings the movies that just killed it for me.
      However his albums have allways been listenable on some level meaning love it or hate it some thought was allways put behind the music.This new shit is just hollow & cheap sounding.Game over man.

      • M

        Also wtf is with Slayer doing not one but two tours with this piece of shit?!!?!
        That blows my mind.

  • Pahkmycah

    Marilyn Manson died once John 5 took off

      THATS WHAT IM SAYIN,… john 5 leaves and manson just sucks,..golden age was the last good shit he put out

  • Pluto

    I agree that it’s a terrible video.
    And half the lyrics are replaced with echoes… Fuck.
    But I have hope for the album.

  • Pahkmycah

    Oh and HAHAHA at the censorship

  • metalguy

    no matter how bad the song, any manson vid is enjoyable to me. hes just fun to watch. and yes this song blows

  • Beastmaster

    New Manson is terrible. No care evar.

  • \m/Eluveitie\m/

    Arma arma arma arma arma chameleon!

  • Lorenzo

    Where’s the rest of the song? It sounds like it’s missing half of itself.

  • DanyLektro

    It’s kind of catchy, in a poppy-you-never-admit-that-you-even-remotely-enjoy-it sort of way, but it loses any appeal reeeeally fast.

  • HoustonC

    This song blows and the video automatically starts whenever I load the Metalsucks page. Can anybody tell me how to make this stop?

    • phale

      i blocked the content with opera. i think theres something similar you can do with firefox. try here: http://www.realgeek.com/firefox-extensions-to-block-content/

      • the nuclear holocosk

        they fixed it now i think. thank god.

        • metalguy

          your name should be nuclear holococks. just throwin it out there

  • crapmcpoopin

    Manson stopped being respectable when he adopted the whole Vampire Crunk image and the album that was tied to that.

    WORSE. RADIO. EDIT. EVER.

    The actual album is pretty good – we’ve had a promo for the last few weeks here at Thrash Hits and been hitting it pretty hard in between blasts of 1349 – but this half-cocked cheap-ass video seems like the label actually wants it to do badly.

  • Jimmy

    The edit is pointless. As everyone else pointed out, half the words are gone.

  • Aaron R A

    I dig it.

  • Dr J

    This is atrocious. I love how someone can produce music equivalent to something you’d expect to come from some teen idol, but if they dress scary and dance with scary arm movements and even scarier lighting, it’s not only considered metal, but evil.

    • Rik

      Yeah, in fact I could easily imagine Britney Spears singing this song.

  • You Don’t Know Me

    Better than anything off of his last two albums but that’s not saying much. Manson has been and always will be OVERRATED!!!

  • THE CARL

    Wow, its like the guy has totally ran out of ideas. The song is a ripoff of a bunch of songs off of Depeche Mode’s Violater.

  • http://www.myspace.com/goosiejuice jewbacca

    Newp. Never have had any respect for Manson, even in high school while everyone was wearing his shirts and sucking his proverbial dick. Smells Like Children was decent for a couple songs, but all in all, never a real fan. I shunned all the kids that sung his praise for the sheer “shock value” and always avoided that bandwagon.

  • Amanda

    THIS FUKKING SUCKS!!! RADIO EDIT CAN SUCK BALLS! if their gunna change it THAT much, dont ######## put it on the radio. this is horrible. wheres the real one?!

  • linh

    this shouldn’t even be considered metal.

  • 20 eyes

    i made it to 9 secs (applaud)……..
    and thats only because of fuckin autoplay.

  • Jimmy

    DAMN AUTOPLAY.

    FIX IT.

  • Joshie

    First off, I’ve never been a Manson fan…

    …That said, i find it odd that they censored the words abortion, Satanic, kill, and dead. The swear words I understand, but what channel doesn’t let you say “dead” on the air?

  • Tervis

    “funny that Twiggy is the only other band member in the video”

    there where two drummers in the video and i guess that those are Ginger Fish and Chris Vrenna, because Ginger is Marilyn Mansons current drummer and Vrenna use to be NINs drummer for… was it seven years…
    and he replaced Ginger for years or two, because Ginger was injured during that time.

  • Boris

    Well that was a waste of 3 minutes and 48 seconds.

    Awful song/video. The censorship is definitely retarded, and, along with rap, it’s ridiculous why you would even bother playing this on the radio if you’re going to censor the fuck out of it. I am (or should i say, WAS) a Manson fan, as Portrait of an American Family and Antichrist Superstar are classics that even the most weathered metalhead must give some credit too. Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood had their good moments too, but everything after that point has been a pop-infused abortion. As mentioned above, i can also imagine Britney Spears singing this song, as it’s purposefully trying to be so catchy.

  • Sin and Death

    Manson has sucked since Trent Reznor stopped writing his songs for him.

  • builtforsin

    If I hear this bullshit poprock on the local rock radio again im going to blow out my brains.

  • http://www.coreymitchell.com Corey Mitchell

    Hand claps are the new black.

  • timmah

    Manson sucked since he first started and he’ll suck till he quits…one trick pony.

  • Bruno

    My gosh this is boring shit.

  • TurdFerguson

    That video is horrible. the song isn’t all that bad honestly. i’d rather listen to this on my way to work in the mornings than the usual Thoery of a Deadman that’s on.

    • TurdFerguson

      Theory of a Deadman too.

  • the nuclear holocosk

    I swear the only manson record I can even listen to is “last tour on earth” which I actually like for some reason.

  • Tervis

    I wonder…what would happen if Manson and Reznor will make music together someday again?
    P.S: i wonder will Reznor invite Manson to he´s wedding now that Reznor has engaged and maybe will marry his love interest someday?

  • http://reaper-x.deviantart.com/ Reaper-X

    Woo, another Billy Idol cover song…wait…it isn’t?

    Could’a fooled me.

  • Joshie

    I can’t wait until we get enough news that this video is bumped off the main page. Everytime I log on i have to listen to the sloppy White Wedding because of the Autoplay.

  • DemonicLemming

    The goats are lined up waiting for this one to come out.

  • Old Skool Metal

    This crap comes on automatically when I come on this site. I won’t be visiting for a while till you guys can turn this craP OFF.

  • d

    the song is mainstream and catchy and to top it off the guitar solo is the worst thing ive ever heard

  • theonetheonly

    I’m gonna get flamed aren’t I? I love Manson, this song in particular. The new CD is good, as long as they don’t fuck it up with all the censorship. Listen to the album version of this song and maybe you’ll like it better. Going to Mayhem this summer, can’t wait!
