Shall we just pretend Jesus Crisis wasn't written and performed by a 50 year old man

Seriously that chorus is so sad.

The Say 10 thing doesn't even register if you haven't read the track name, it just sounds like "you say God, I say Satan". Maybe the pronounciation is a little off, but that's not unusual for Manson anyway. The verse on that track is pretty great though. Actually, the album is surprisingly good overall - some awful lyrics and weak choruses, but also some great early Ministry-esque percussion and a surprisingly good, raw vocal performance. Almost every track has at least something I really like and a few of the tracks might have been good enough for his best albums. The guitar is a little weak overall though.

Say10 is a pretty weak play on words compared to Warship my Wreck imo.
On the other hand Cocaine and Able is pretty nice.

Also, who cares about 50 year old men singing about Satan.
That summarizes easily half of the current metal field.

Cocaine and Abel is ok on a surface level but doesn't actually mean anything. His Mechanical Animals word play (pheno-Barbie doll/manic-queen of depression) is still the best he's ever done at that kinda poo poo.

i feel like we're getting away from what's important, which is that "SAY10" sounds like a late 80s NIN song until the chorus, and it owns because of this

quote:

What might have looked on video like Manson shaking or trying to ascend the prop was actually the performer’s desperate effort to prevent it from collapsing. “I wasn’t trying to climb it,” he says. “It started to fall and I tried to push back and I didn’t get out the way in time. I’m not sure what I hit my head on, but it did fall onto my leg and break the fibula in two places. The pain was excruciating.”

Manson was immediately placed on a stretcher, and taken to a hospital to be examined and X-rayed. Doctors inserted a plate and 10 screws into the bone, plus another screw through his ankle bone, then wrapped a solid cast around his leg. It often takes people with such injuries between 12 and 16 weeks to recover, according to Healthline.

Considering the weight of the metal framework that fell over, Manson’s lucky his injuries weren’t far worse. “It definitely could have crushed my skull and my ribs,” Manson says. “I have some minor bruising in that area, but it took six guys to pull it off of me. It was like wrestling a giant iron monster.”

Really doesn't look like he's pushing the prop back in the videos (looks more like he's pulling it instead). Wish him the best either way. Going to see him live next month

Getting word today that Scott Putesky a.k.a. Daisy Berkowitz has passed away.

edit: Confirmed via Jessicka.

If Brian brushes this off like he ignored Brad's death, I'm loving done with this band.

I don't know what to say, I'm kinda shocked, kinda not. I had gathered her relationship with Jeordie White was hosed up in some way and you can kinda pick up on it in JOJ's music. I know there was a lot of 3-way behind the scenes drama going on in the mid/late 90s between Manson, JOJ, and Psychotica.

Why does Manson need Twiggy around anyway? He has Tyler Bates now.

Also, Manson's best work was made without Putesky. That is simply a fact.

RIP of course. cancer sucks.

As for his creative input, I am just referring to Jason Newsted who was the new bass player in Metallica for 20 years , including some of their most successful ones. But he was always the new one.

MM specifically says in Long hard road that Daisy's way was not what he wanted for the band and in hindsight this is probably true considering he only plays a minor part in one of MMs top 3 records.
What did he do on his own btw? I haven't encountered his name in other bands? If he was that good, he should have been able to make a career on his own. But if he didn't, that basically proves the point.

Ah I was wondering why Twiggy locked up his Twitter and went silent.

At the one show I went to it seemed like Manson was the drunk mess and Twiggy was holding the show together. Interesting to see where everything falls if Twiggy is back out.

There are two albums by Three Ton Gate on Spotify. I actually bought them from Scott many many years ago. They're... okay. I think the biggest thing holding him back was that he was neither a good singer nor a good lyricist, and he never found another person he clicked with like he did with Manson.
