ARMA-GODDAMN-MOTHERFUCKIN’-MANSON

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

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.

    Marilyn Manson died once John 5 took off

  3. Pluto says:

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

  4. Pahkmycah says:

    Oh and HAHAHA at the censorship

  5. metalguy says:

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

  6. Beastmaster says:

    New Manson is terrible. No care evar.

  7. \m/Eluveitie\m/ says:

    Arma arma arma arma arma chameleon!

  8. Lorenzo says:

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

  9. DanyLektro says:

    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.

  10. HoustonC says:

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

  11. crapmcpoopin says:

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

  12. 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.

  13. Jimmy says:

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

  14. Aaron R A says:

    I dig it.

  15. Dr J says:

    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.

  16. You Don't Know Me says:

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

  17. THE CARL says:

    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.

  18. jewbacca says:

    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.

  19. Amanda says:

    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?!

  20. linh says:

    this shouldn’t even be considered metal.

  21. 20 eyes says:

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

  22. Jimmy says:

    DAMN AUTOPLAY.

    FIX IT.

  23. Joshie says:

    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?

  24. Tervis says:

    “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.

  25. Boris says:

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

  26. Brandon says:

    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.

  27. Sin and Death says:

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

  28. builtforsin says:

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

  29. Hand claps are the new black.

  30. timmah says:

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

  31. Bruno says:

    My gosh this is boring shit.

  32. TurdFerguson says:

    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.

  33. the nuclear holocosk says:

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

  34. Tervis says:

    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?

  35. Reaper-X says:

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

    Could’a fooled me.

  36. Joshie says:

    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.

  37. DemonicLemming says:

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

  38. Old Skool Metal says:

    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.

  39. d says:

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

  40. theonetheonly says:

    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!
