Laugh At Others' Misfortunes

MARILYN MANSON IS HHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHH

 Thursday, June 4th, 2009 at 1:22pm by

Speaking to Spinner.com earlier this week, Trent Reznor said of his former protegé, Marilyn Manson, “drugs and alcohol now rule his life.”

And now this BBC interview pretty much seems to prove it.

This is funny/sad, and worth a listen even if (or maybe especially if?) you don’t like Manson.

    Jesus fucking christ

    I LOVE Manson…but holy hell…holy fucking hell

    Someone needs to get their shit together.

    • pluto

      He does seem to be high or drunk, but also he probably just felt like being an ass and having fun.

      But whatever, the new album is surprisingly good. If you don’t agree, then you’re probably not a Manson fan to begin with, or 14 years old.

      • Kye

        I absolutely love The High End of Low.

        And I’ve heard/seen my share of Manson interviews and in this one he seems legitimately fucking destroyed.

  • Cougar Party

    and I thought Phil Anselmo sounded fucked up on interviews. This is a whole new level.

        Winner.

    thats just about right.

    Drugs and alcohol have always ruled his life. Mr. Reznor may recall a small, 20 year period where they ruled his as well. Manson’s autobiography has some humorous anecdotes about the comically-sized piles of cocaine he and Trent used to do.

    That was hard to listen to. Explains a lot about his new CD though…
    Why cant people just get drunk and smoke weed and call it good

    • alex

      word.

  • iolanach

    I’m listening to Lord Weird Slough Feg right now.

    Just wanted to say Mr. Scalzi has more creativity and musical ability in the tip of his cock then Marylin Manson has in his/its entire body.

    ”and I thought Phil Anselmo sounded fucked up on interviews. This is a whole new level.”

    The amount of drugs Phil does is mostly due to the physical pain he has to endure.I agree that he’s still being coherent and still sounds professionnal even though he seems like he’s had one too many joints.It’s rather obvious the dude is used to being high.At some point it doesn’t affect you that much anymore.Same goes for alcohol when you’re used to drinking a lot.I gotta say it though,Phil fucking owns,fuck the haters who truly believe he’d still be in a childish sort of fight with Dime if he was alive.Pretty sure things would be sorted out and they could become friends again,since apparently Phil has become a much better person overall.

    As for this Manson interview,something leads me to believe that he was doing this on purpose.I don’t think it is a publicity stunt though,maybe he’s just totally sick of responding to the same questions over and over again,and wants to entertain himself instead of getting bored to sleep.I’m not saying I agree with the idea though,since this interview makes him seem totally retarded in a very,very sad way,but I have trouble believing he’s actually THIS fucked up.

    If I am wrong,then this interviewer caught him at a very,very bad time.In which case,I wonder why Manson would’ve accepted to respond to this interview while knowing he was too shitfaced to do it.

    The guy might’ve not always been exactly clever,but I remember hearing a lot of intelligent statements in some of his past interviews.Makes it hard to believe that from one week to another he has become some kind of fish lost in his own aquarium.

      don’t get me wrong, I am a huge Phil fan, but you gotta admit he sounds fucked up in most interviews he’s conducted post-pantera maybe it is past drug abuse or whatever. Frankly, I don’t really care as long as he stays healthy and keeps putting out Down/Superjoint albums.

      Manson on the other hand, seems to be really, really, high in this interview and is having a difficult time even following the conversation. There’s at least a couple times when he stops and forgets what he’s talking about and seems noticably uncomfortable in his skin. I don’t think he’s trying to be edgy. I think he’s really fucked up.

      • http://www.myspace.com/crocpodcast Noch

        Not saying Phil doesn’t sound fucked up at all.All these drugs are bound to have some effect even though he doesn’t sound as weird as Manson does,and as I’ve said he still seems to keep his shit together which is a must in this business.I’m also hopeful that he’s still being careful about not overusing medication.

        It could’ve been easy for Manson to pretend that he was completely lost,only to make the interviewer even more annoyed.But I’m pretty sure that we will never really know the bottom line about this.One thing’s for sure,if he wanted to get the people to talk,he fucking reached his goal.Only thing is,even his music is very weak today,so ruining it even more for himself by acting like a retarded monkey is not exactly the most professionnal move to make.

        I agree with most people on the fact that it is a little too late in his career for him to try and prank people like that.At this point it’s a lack of maturity and consideration.Wether he was doing it on purpose or accepted to do an interview even though he knew he couldn’t put a complete sentence together…it’s all a HUGE lack of professionalism.Don’t get me wrong,I do have a good sense of humour,pretty sure everyone who reads MetalSucks does. :)

        • http://www.myspace.com/crocpodcast Noch

          But this is just something I have a hard time laughing about. :p

  • mahkiavelli

    Wow…clearly he’s lost any sense of focus. It’s too bad really, I’ve always enjoyed his output, but the last 2 discs were flat-out BORING (something you’d think the self-proclaimed God of Fuck would want to avoid). It’s too bad really, saw them live on the Antichrist Superstar tour and it’s still one of the best rock shows I’ve seen.

  • http://www.thedevilsdemons.com vincent

    I’ve heard everyone I know sound this dumb at least once. Yes, he’s clearly hopped up on goofballs during the interivew, but it’s not as if he’s like this 24/7. He couldn’t function if he were.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crocpodcast Noch

    ”Why cant people just get drunk and smoke weed and call it good”

    Exactly.I’m glad to hear somebody agrees with me on that one.

    • Santa Claus

      I know I read that too and was like, thank god, I’m not the only person that feels that way. How fucking stoned do you need to be… really?

  • http://www.decibelmagazine.com/blog nick

    Destined to become a classic, like Cronos or Paul Stanley’s stage banter. Dude is so fucked up he’s free associating like Matt Pinfield!

    • pluto

      “he’s free associating like Matt Pinfield”

      LMAO

  • metalguy

    ” The High End of Low”
    hes HIGH…At the Lowest point in his career

  • amanda manson

    oh brian warner, i do love you so. =D <3

  • alex

    this sounds like lil wayne rambling on in the carter 3, when he had no fucking clue what he was talking about

  • http://www.thrashhits.com Hugh DoVoodoo

    It’s funny for all the wrong reasons.

    IE: VERY FUNNY INDEED.

  • arlene_MAK

    Has anyone considered that manson isn’t that stoned in this interview? Seems to me that he just isn’t in the mood to be interviewed and is just fucking with the interviewer. He could be high as a kite, but then again that may not be the case.

  • http://squatneysteel.wordpress.com Metalizist, Squatney Steel

    Yeah he’s pretty high by the sound of it.

    According to another BBC presenter last week on Radio 1′s Rock Show, he came in to record an acoustic set for them and was completely and utterly drunk and kept drinking throughout. I wouldn’t like to imply that drunk may have been a code word for anything else, though this interview would seem to suggest that that could have been the case… They haven’t played said set yet either…

  • Another Opinion

    Congrats, “Marilyn Manson” (hahahaha! the name is still hilarious)–You are America’s Goth Kid!! You had one sad teenage dream and now that it’s come true, now what? NOW WHAT MARILYN? Take some drugs. It was never about the music and you know it. I would really really really like to hear about Marilyn Manson’s suicide. Take one for the team. If you’re not gonna grow up and learn how to sing or make something beautiful than complete your sad, lifetime parody of teenage angst by slitting your wrists in the bathtub. Or hey maybe you could shoot up a room full of interviewers and then blame it on your own music!!!! Then you can return from the grave to tell us that it’s not your fault!! (Does that mean I think Manson is responsible for Columbine? No. But that’s who he’s being marketed to and I guarentee you he didn’t lose much sleep over it.)

    And I bet he calls himself an artist. HAHAHAHA! Your career is a gimmick, Marilyn.

    • …???

      arent you cool, you certainly are the wisest of the wise. yup, you know more than the rest of us.

      why dont you go fuckin kill yourself so that nobody has to hear your bullshit?
      you dont get it at all (and no im not playing the misunderstood artist card, its just that youre a goddamn fool). what has he done that makes him not an artist? an artist entertains and provokes thought (whether that thought be something “deep” or just “what the fuck is wrong with this guy?” is irrelevant), it is not debatable that manson does both.
      another opinion? no youre just another mindless hater with the nerve to think that other people are missing the obvious. you pathetic fool…

  • http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com Jimmy

    That whole thing was awkward

  • godmoney

    I hope he gets his shit together. I laughed only out of surprise at how very uncharacteristic he’s being. It looks like Trent wasn’t kidding.

  • SKLives

    Manson is just brilliant. He does what ever the fuck he wants…if he want to fuck with you, your at his mercy.
    He comes through with information and then he pisses on the interviewer when he feels like it.

    Total comedian.

    • SourDeez

      Too bad his music is fucking boring and stupid.

  • tobytobiasjones

    This guy’s a fucking joke. Always has been.

  • Aaron R A

    Regardless, his new album is still fucking amazing.

    • tobytobiasjones

      I HIGHLY doubt that.

      • Torez

        You just admitted you didn’t fuckin’ listen to it.

  • theonetheonly

    Wow, the comments above me make me so damn angry. Manson isn’t a gimick, he does what he does and laughs at all of the the pretty little bitches and assholes who like to pretend this world is perfect. Hell’s yeah to Manson for pointing out that everything isn’t clean and sterile. So he got fucked up a couple times, it’s not like he’s always like that. Every band has it’s time when it gets into the hollywood scene. You have that much money and nothing to spend it on, so they throw away a few years of their lives. As long as Manson keeps making music I’ll be happy. New album rocks and I can’t wait to see him on tour this summer.

  • Dick Hill

    This interview has really been overly scrutinized. People have gone to ridiculous extents based on this interview alone. Meanwhile, no one pays attention to all the other interviews he’s been doing. I think it’s based on fear of the idea that the Manson that always provided fodder for certain people to whine about stupid kids is a forty year old man and it doesn’t work anymore. His image always betrayed his intelligence to certain people, and that seems to have changed in his music and his appearance. Even worse, he’s lasted. The man is still making music, he still has fans, and he’s still good at it. That’s hard for people to imagine, so as soon as they get the idea that he is slipping, even when he clearly isn’t, they jump at it. That’s unfortunate, but I suppose it only fuels him and his fans.

  • …???

    this is the best interview ever!!! only problem is that its too long, its only funny for like the first minute.
    i myself wouldnt touch coke or heroine but im a weed man. when i was a kid i had so many conversations like this with teachers etc.
    people read far too much into this, i like manson as much as any pop band (i do NOT mean that as an insult) and maybe the music has gotten worse. how about you dont listen to it assholes! as for manson as a person, hes probably having a ball, getting shit faced and fucking 19 year old actors. youre probably just jealous you dont get to.
    i know i certainly am

  • kyle

    for anyone who doesn’t know,marilyn manson uses hard drugs but he doesn’t smoke pot. He said he’s never liked smoking pot, but he definitely loves his cocaine. it’s in the book about him by Neil Strauss
