MARILYN MANSON -Down In The Park

[mikeFUCKINealer]

i just like to watch people in general back when i was a mall rat i had a bunch of money ( fuck off yes it was my parents i was like 15) after we got done goin where ever in the mall we'd hit up these bitchin message chair things that cost money and just chill and people watch ... call me crazy its entertaining

[exordiumdeath]

I bet most of you werent even born when the orignal and this version was made.

[saranoid]

Originals are usually better than covers. the first movie in a series is usually better than the sequels. The book is usually better than the movie.

But there are some good covers out there.

I like Manson, but I'd choose Gary Numan, as an artist, over Manson, any day.

However, I have to say that as covers go, I think this is pretty good.

In fact, I think Manson's best work were his covers, lol.

[1slyckchyck]

FANTASTIC COVER !!!

[1991mansonfan]

what song do you think manson should cover next?

[Castiel666xD]

gotta say you just cant beat the original. ever. it is in the end what propelled modern commercial electronic music into being. lots of bands are inspired by gary numan and the best video of a live performance of this by gary numan was at "Urgh a music war". though the foo fighter cover is very good as well. :) love this song always though

[redwolfprincess]

I like both this cover and the original. They are uniquely done by both artists.

[jillybillyish]

Oh memories this song brings me to my drug fueled days when I was a teenage whore.

[TheOxforddad]

The vocals on this are just way wrong for the song. The Gary Numan version is infinitely better

[FunThieves4]

of course newman's is better, but i do like this...maybe if he sang it differently? the music part is awesome though

[HoleHeadedLiar]

@FunThieves4 Gary Numan's last name is spelled N U M A N

[FunThieves4]

@HoleHeadedLiar i didn't realize how i spelled it. oh my god, i'm so sorry that you have no life and feel the need to correct others. smd.

[Posthuman2003]

great cover

[djsubrocka]

All the versions are great in their own way. A great song such as this is instructable.

Despite what version you like or not, the important thing here that Gary Numan and his amazing songs are finally getting the recognition they always deserved.

[MrSpiderman1batman]

This is okay but Gary Numan's is way better. 

[stiltworks]

Yeah, it is the clip from Prince of Darkness (just watched it recently,I had forgotten all about it ha) and as for which is better this is a case where I like both equally for different reasons. Numan's original is more...disturbed sounding? lol Mansons catches abit more of the underlying anger and absurdity of it.

[RDigi]

Sweet dream are made of THIS... so fuck the universe, hail marilyn manson, and all other good music

[IlluminatReptilian]

@cursedmisanthrope That's because Marilyn Manson, Did, use the sound clip from the movie Prince Of Darkness. There's no mistake about it.

[steveman416]

Both versions are good, Numan's is better.

[nolifewoutdeath]

HAHAH! I had this single for a while...weird shit

[twitchy17100]

wht is this song about

[DonBeaumont]

Gary Numan's was better. Original.

[jasmen420]

May perhaps be the greatest Manson song ... even if it is a remake

[gareth209]

FUCK THIS

[ladronguapo]

greats synths and really loving the drum machine!

[Dyslexia3]

A WANA BE ALICE COOPER.

[MarilynManson128]

ayy foo! too da guy dat said dis is shit. go back to listening to justin bieber u pussy!

[DRONER11]

GREAT COVER¡¡¡

[IamtheDilbis]

OH GAWD!!!!

OOOOOH GAAAWWWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This sound is just AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHGHGH

*_*

[Adarvuli]

HAIL SATAN BITCHES!!!

[knucklestheecchidnaa]

@Adarvuli Nah satan sucks , Marilyn Manson Rules!!!

[TheBloney]

live version is much better

[ladronguapo]

@TheBloney you're nuts. live versions always suck.

[mjl333000]

Sounds like a Mechanical Animal era song

[alexgibb9000]

@mjl333000 its from the lunchbox single. its older

[Adarvuli]

mmmmmmmm.....braiiinnsss.... awghawghawghawgh

[5annent]

this is the best I heard this song covered of his many such as"sweet dreams, highway2hell ,tainted luv,ect!!!

[leftovergravyy]

Really? what a shitty delivery of the lyrics of a great song..

[leftovergravyy]

Really? what a shitty delivery of the lyrics of a great song

[disagreeablesob]

I like Marilyn,but compared to the original this sounds overproduced.

[JessyBee1313]

I miss this single....one of my cousins stole it(evilness!) :(, But I still have "Get Your Gunn"

[Ghostblood1334]

I only listened to this song because I saw Prince of Darkness.

[zindi1138]

@Ghostblood1334 still my fav horror.

and a cool song.

[420Meatwad]

@RoxRox100123 you are a moron

[RenatoSuperstar]

MM Bigger Then Satan!!!

[felpudo00]

@RenatoSuperstar

not much anymore

[GrampappyJoe]

I like watching arguments on youtube. lets me know there are sadder people than me and I haven't hit rock bottom yet

[PappaGunscho]

@GrampappyJoe Well said.

[SpookyJohnathan]

@GrampappyJoe I like watching people watching arguments on youtube. It lets me know there are sadder people than I.

[EvansBlue19]

I don't know what you people are saying.. the Vocals are amazing. This has been one of my favorite covers since 1996. All my friends loved this song growing up because of me. Amazing song an amazing era for Marilyn Manson.

[h4ck3rpunk]

Alot of people complain about this cover, but this is not bad imo. Not manson's best moment with vocals, though. Sorta drags the track down.

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@h4ck3rpunk I agree, its not a bad cover but the vocals aren't fantastic and it wouldn't have hurt to use less effects and stick to the original melody a little more.

[yubbone]

@Maskedfreakinabox so strip it back down to how it originally sounds? it's called a cover for a reason

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@yubbone UMMM no, and you have clearly stated your ignorance to the world with that statement, thank you. I said that he could have used less effects and stuck to the original melody a little more. A cover is putting your own twist on the song, not completely rearranging it and using the same lyrics. I'm a Manson fan but I can't say I like this cover all that much.

[yubbone]

@Maskedfreakinabox lol... i would consider this his "own twist" on the song. you're quick to insult someone, obviously you're insecure. so i'll refrain from worsening your current condition.

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@Maskedfreakinabox I'm not insulting you, simply calling you out on ignorance. You have already made a similar gesture that (in the sake of fairness) I won't call an insult either, making us even. I am not insecure at all. I do what I want when I want and thoroughly don't give a shit about what people say to me. All that matters is that I make myself happy and that I keep my friends close. If I don't know you I don't care about you or your opinions, 'nuff said.

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@yubbone That comment was directed at you, Just so you know. And for the record This isn't a TERRIBLE cover, but not that great either. All I am saying is that the song is not recognizable and therefore it is no longer a cover so much as an attempt to dominate the piece. I am not being overly critical of this piece, simply honest. If you have a problem with coming out and opening a can of honest opinion for anyone to interpret, maybe you should be a politician.

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@yubbone In all fairness though, we both could have come off less aggressively with our opening lines. You came off as slightly aggressive (unnecessarily) and I probably came off as slightly defensive. I apologize. Unfortunately, we do not have the luxury of using body language or tone of voice to express our opinions, only empty words so sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between discussion and fight. Do you see my point?

[kevon45uk1]

Bloody awful. Takes everything away from Numan's original and turns it into a formulaic angry rock song. It's about feeling distant from life and Manson just makes it into a guitar laden mess.

[xcrunkxcorex]

<3

[XDreah]

Honestly, any fuck that thinks this song isn't just lovely, has some fucked up ears :P good song. to be honest i'd probably fuck to it....oh and why the hell didn't i hear this song before? did he just come out with it?

[Blo0dredRidingHo0d]

@XDreah this song is older than me buddy :S before the 2000's, well his was in the 90's and the original idk when

[rit56]

Gary Numan's is better.

[xiaochen1]

@rit56 your mom is better~

[missgemmadarling]

ComaAlpha...No thank you. I only go with men and women. But thanks for the offer hunni :))

[ComaAlpha]

Manson needs Twiggy to be able to pull off covers. Look at Tainted Love and Personal Jesus, no Twiggy and they were shitty covers. Sweet Dreams, I Put A Spell On You, Rock n Roll Nigger, Down In The Park, Suicide is Painless, all more than decent.

[saddler360]

I think foo fighters did the coolest cover-but manson is the version id listen to if i was pissed off

[saiyanblade84]

I like Manson's music from all era's, but his music from the 90's is my favorite. This is a pretty cool cover.

[BenKopec]

I remember listening to this song a thousand times a day when it first came out. Amazing song. 

[lanajernej]

....WE RE NOT LOVERS WE RE NOT ROMANTICS WE RE HERE TO SERVE YOU...

[Beatmyguest001]

@lanajernej A DIFFERENT FACE, BUT THE WORDS NEVER CHANGE.

[missgemmadarling]

Bloody awful noise.......Give me Numan any day.

[ComaAlpha]

@missgemmadarling well then fuck you

[engeljakob]

to be played at my funeral :D

[PrettyPaul]

Might as well be janey-come-lately and use an auto tuner...sounds really bad!!

[PrettyPaul]

Might as well be janey-come-lately and use an auto tuner...sounds really bad

[bbbbil]

this is far superior. i don't even like the Numan version

[Thecuregalore94]

Oh christ this should be illegal.

[Man666Son]

AWESOME!!! LOVE YOUR VERSION AND YOU MARILYN!!! <3

[Arkhilhra]

The Foo Fighters did it better, without question.  In my opinion, this is one of the worst Manson songs I've ever heard.

[drsatan916]

@Arkhilhra try listening to the marilyn manson hit me baby one more time cover if you think this is shit

[punkk522]

@drsatan916 I guess its a good thing that Marilyn Manson never covered that song right, dumb fuck? That cover is actually Dope, not Manson, know what you're talking about or you look like a retard.

[drsatan916]

@punkk522 how about you suck the shit directly out of my ass hole you cock infested fuck stain

[punkk522]

@drsatan916 good one, fits well with my original comment about you being a retarded dumbfuck, keep up the good work! You earned yourself a sticker!

[grimbattalion]

@Arkhilhra You dont mean a FUCK TO ME! so FOO on you! You little FOOFOOL!

[Arkhilhra]

@grimbattalion Random much?

[grimbattalion]

@Arkhilhra Fick dich

[OmbraSilente]

Another great song, ruined by Manson. Why don't you do your own music instead of ruining other's songs, mr. Manson? Or better, go and work as peasant, I think you can do better than singing. Peace \m/

[julienkip]

@OmbraSilente Says the person who took the time to watch and comment on the video. Way to make yourself look like a total WANK. Peace! =)

[OmbraSilente]

@julienkip Well, I don't say I don't like something, unless I know of what I am talking about. I need to listen to it all, before making an opinion and take my time to write a comment. But thanks for sharing your point of view :) Peace! \m/

[TwilightCreep]

omg i was unaware he covered this :O awsome :P

[astrogirl59]

meh. I like Numan's original better. Manson's band is good though but his "singing" sucks.

[AnitaTaco]

One of my fave MM songs ever

[jackthePS3GAMER]

@AnitaTaco this is not a MM song its a MM cover

[samfromnaoned]

m ymusicgod

[avalonspawn]

So much crying and whining in these comments... I am sure Manson would be happy to an EXTREME for invoking these kinds of emotions! No matter what your argument, he wins. :D

[marisolmanson]

although many people think the cover of Manson is better, or vice versa... I still think they cannot be compared at all, because the sound of Manson is certainly different from Numan... The Manson's intro is heard scary ... Numan makes the song sound more acceptable. Finally, Gary makes sinthpop, and Mr. Manson alternative rock..

[SNB222]

@marisolmanson industrial metal too

[Omnipherant]

@marisolmanson totally agree, its like comparing Manson Sweets Dreams against Eurithmics, both very different both equally good in their own way

[israelforreal]

That's a very good way of putting it. I personally like this cover better then the original but i prefer this style of music better. Has nothing to do with which song is better. David Bowie made the original song which is great and respect it.

[ComaAlpha]

@israelforreal don't speak unless you know what you say. I think Manson MAY have covered Golden Years, but other than there, he doesn't do any Bowie tunes. This was originally done by Gary Newman. (Not to be confused with Randy Newman who does those shitty Toy Story songs)

[MrPreverbal]

Bowie had nothing to do with this song. Numan wrote it and performed it originally.

[israelforreal]

your right I wrote the wrong name .  Thanks for the correction my mistake.

[gundambob646]

@marisolmanson well keep in mind, tech was limited back then. i am sure numan could have produced something twice as amazing now. both are good, but manson goes for the darker theme for sure.

[KentAllard]

@marisolmanson

the intro is sampled from They Live

[KentAllard]

@marisolmanson

erp, sampled from Prince of Darkness

[xxmetioqurexx]

i think its all in genre preference.. this sound of marylin manson is WAY different than numans sound.. so there will always be rivalry amongst the ignorant people who cant accept that this is just another version of the wonderful classic.marylin is just trying to preserve his work if anything...

[di5c0rd1a]

heres a fun fact, the beginning of this song (we are brodcasting from the year 1-9-9-9......) is a sample from John Carpenter's Vampires. Quite the disgusting movie.

[MrDusted78]

@di5c0rd1a umm, pretty sure it's from john carpenter's "prince of darkness". saw it about a month or two ago

[BigGirlWithAGun]

@di5c0rd1a Vampires? Isn't it from "Prince of Darkness"? I just saw the movie...

[joaniecheriezz]

@BigGirlWithAGun Yeah...its the dialogue from the "dream" sequence in "Prince of Darkness"

[drsatan916]

@di5c0rd1a fun fact failure

[xocomaox]

i happened to hear this version before i ever knew it was a cover. i like it more than the original but that's just my personal opinion. it probably has to do with my like of manson and that i got used to this version before hearing the original.

[Danyhg92]

The intro is good but Numan's version is definitely better.

[Lucretiavlad]

I grew up with the numan version,but manson makes it his own and very cool.

[1996delboy]

THIS IS SHIT!!!!

[marisolmanson]

@1996delboy you have a right to say

[scythemachine]

@marisolmanson He has a right to say it 'till he comes down to the park... lol :P

[DeeJay1441]

@marisolmanson Think the person meant "This is the new shit!"

[Ambidextrometer]

@marisolmanson You're bloody well right :P

[gervasiopalha]

@1996delboy yes, this is THE shit!!!!

[rustedshut]

I heard the Manson version mid-90's. Then, I looked up Gary Newman's original. Newman's is unlistenable. I'm glad I came across this again today. It's been awhile and this is still a cool jam.

[rwatchmanwoohoo]

Foo Fighters is still on top :P

[OZZIEJUGGALO]

to all of those ppl who have put this version down.... i see more likes than dislikes.... funny that huh.. and for the record, definitely prefer this over the orginal

[jewsaw06]

for the first time I think I like better the original version of Gary Numan

[alvaroandresleon]

mr mansons best covers ever

[bowiefan3]

i like covers that does justice to the songs or make it better,this dont do nothing for me.it just sound like marilyn doing his same old crap.

[romankappertking]

better than original

[Xvic1212X]

When you start with making music, you play covers. When you become quite good, you write your own stuff. And yes i think the original is better, but sometimes covers can be quite good as well. @beatmyguest001, i agree with you, covers aren't insults.

[YesIam97M]

This cover is so fuckin good! omg I really love it! <3

[DrivinHanyou]

@SoulAssassin1983 Yeah most of his fans are like that, stupid annoying wannabe goth kids. Hot Topic isn't even a "Metal Store" anymore so that just lowers the bar even worse.

[JohnnyLovely2]

um...... this version is kinda gay. i used to like Marilyn Manson when I was like 13 and now i don't see why. he ruined this song.

[WrestlingBC12]

@JohnnyLovely2 You liked him when you were 13 then you moved onto whatever other trendy bullshit was going on like a good little sheep. 

[abaddon5]

@JohnnyLovely2

How is this version bad?

[xphoenixdownx]

@abaddon5

have you ever heard the foo fighters' version?

this version isnt "bad" but, it doesnt really measure up.

[abaddon5]

@xphoenixdownx

Of course I've heard it. It was good, but I think that Manson's version was creepier which fits the lyrics more.

[TheMiamifuentes]

@JohnnyLovely2 Um what this song came out when everyone was 13, this song is the antithesis of the original

[keyotikdragon]

Actually I think this is the first version I fell in love with.

[shelly10538]

Cool song but Brian's kinda drama club-ish.

[sithlords666]

I like how Manson used a line from the movie "Prince of Darkness" as the intro...His cover and the original are both great :)

[TheFlabbyEschebone]

Shit. Where's the solo? That's the best part of the original.

[trenchcoatmafioso]

Manson's best cover, in my opinion. I think some covers are better than the originals. All Along The Watchtower was done better by Jimi Hendrix than Bob Dylan, Dead Souls by NIN, and this.

[gravesarelove]

"The Aliens !!! The Aliens !!!" - Sponge Bob

[Karunadevidasi]

Original song by Rozz Williams Christian Death :)

[Sillygoth]

@Karunadevidasi -

No, Christian Death covered Gary Numan. (Though I love C.D.'s cover as well.)

[sissygirl222]

I LOOOOOOOOVE IT ;) ♥

[sissygirl222]

Maybe it's not his greatest cover but its manson therefore its fucking amazing i love him fuck all you haters! :) love love love him and his songs :)

[sissygirl222]

AMAZING :)

[KingIDMF]

i want to go to Zom-Zom's

[bobbycarolina75]

come on, this pales in comparison to the orignal. no contest, and i generally like manson.

[spoonforleg]

this sucks. its also hard to take him seriously. i mean, look at him. really? what a joke.

[MansonMel3980]

I like Mansons better. Guess I'm in the minority here but Manson's is honestly just more pleasing to my ears

[arholme]

so much bettter!

[advancedAARdvark]

@arholme this is to any one... its not about which one is better... they are both tight as shit.. its cool that there are so many interpretations of this song.. foo fighters did it too.. and they fuckin rocked it.. a classic song that begs for more challengers... bitches

[rebelkliq]

The Foo fighters Version is much Better

[tyb1985]

@rebelkliq DEFINITELY! nice to know someone else has good taste!

[israelforreal]

A great cover song

[Beatmyguest001]

Everyone knows the original is fucking better. Why must you all comment saying that AGAIN? It's a great song. So I like all the covers. Of COURSE I like the original better, but I LOVE when people cover my favourite songs, I find it really interesting unlike all the pretentious twats who think they're high and mighty for claiming how disgusting they find the covers.

Covers AREN'T insults. Get that out of your idiot heads. Covers are homages.

[BloodyRainbow7]

@Beatmyguest001 hit the nail on the head..afterall the saying is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery is it not?

[menthal1]

@Beatmyguest001 NO NO NO not ALL originals......there are some covers that are actually better than the originals.

[Beatmyguest001]

@menthal1 But where would the cover be without the orginal? Who wrote it the lyrics, chord progressions, ect, ect.

A cover can come and manipulate or put a spin on a song and that's fine and I love them and I do prefer SOME covers to the originals in terms of my ears liking the sound of it better.

But I think 'better' is the wrong word to use.

[misszzzjoe]

@menthal1 Tainted love cough cough

[sithlords666]

@Beatmyguest001 Couldnt have said that better ;) I like the cover, but its not fair for people to get rude about which version they like! I do like the cover better, but will not insult or talk bad about the original it inspired :)

[starkdoulos]

@Beatmyguest001 The cover is fucking better

[Beatmyguest001]

@starkdoulos Where's the cover without the original? IN YOUR OPINION the cover is better. Don't state opinions like they're fact.

[starkdoulos]

@Beatmyguest001 I just did

[Beatmyguest001]

@starkdoulos Wow. How 'badass' of you.

[israelforreal]

thank you
