Marilyn Manson - Pretty as a swastika

[MoosieCoverz]

I want to smash into your face like a plane and drown between your legs...best description of a 69 ever?

[SallyBork]

when I was younger,I didn't like him..But now I just say: HE'S FUCKING GOD!!-)

[copnite12342]

@SallyBork i felt that way too

[jonasmaxdeath]

@SallyBork

Same here, I was fucking scared of him and thought he was the biggest freak.. Now I fucking praise him...

[shikoXyuki]

@SallyBork I wouldn't like to referr to him as that. Most likely a world wide rock icon or whatever genre you would put his music into.

[wesnilevirus77]

this spng reminds me of a mix between an ipod commercial and fight song lol dont ask me why....

[Aureneau]

O.O o. mai. god. IT DOES!! looool...

[reverendomanson]

@wesnilevirus77 this was using for an ipod commercial SO THAT WAS TRUE

[Kelly80329]

Good song! love MM

[XEvanescence4EvaX]

I love this song and I actually like the majority of the album.

LOVE it when he sings 'Let me show you where it hurts'

[m3artist]

I love this song!!!!xD GO MM!!!!

[jerret93]

This and Amra-goddamn-motherfuckin-gedd­on are the best songs on "the high end of low.''

to me........

[xPlasticxHearts]

My favorites are this one, Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-gedd­on, Devour & We're from America.

[basketballnerd35]

@iwishiwassparta is a song by marilyn manson. what about it?

[iwishiwassparta]

@basketballnerd35

I was responding toa comment about the best song on the album. Apparently this demonizes me, looking at how many thumbs downs I got.

[popad514]

oh yeah back to antichrist pretty

[SwistakPOLAND]

nice ;)

I was one of his fans some years ago in high school, then he had some shitty records, but now I think he's back :)

[luzxun]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[swissbreu]

did anyone else notice the noise of a skateboard at the begining????

[BeautifulEverythingx]

ahhh! Wish it lasted longer. *replays*

[BlackDeath10000]

D:< RONIE YOUR ENGLISH DOES NOT SUCK!

[blizteria]

This sounds so different than other Manson songs...

[phailez]

It sounds like there is some influence from The Stooges in it.

[metallica3678]

@blizteria yeah the whole album does in my opion and i didnt liek the album at first but it grows on you

[Ilovemanson666]

you are shaming all nirvana fans, NirvanaFan. shut your mouth and/or change your name.

[trilerkiler]

I hate fucking nirvana

[Antichrist2000]

GOOD!!

[MrSniperknife]

FUCK GOD!!!!!!!!!! WOOP WOOP!

[Alyssagailbraley]

Hmmm.Not to found of the Swastika bit, however MM rocks!!

[MelCandy]

@Alyssagailbraley He is comparing the $ to a Swastika. that's fucking genious. The importance people give to the money is as bad as what nazis did.

[Alyssagailbraley]

Oh okay, I guess I just didnt get the connection. Thank you.

[MelCandy]

No problem :P I didnt get it right away either, I only got it when I went see him live and he used the $ to look as a swastika.

[babynavyblue]

The swastika was a sign of power not nazism. Money is a sign of false power

...I doubt he cares about the nazis he cares about the sybolistic signifigance.

[Bo0mz0r]

Prior to Hitler's Nazi Germany it was a symbol of peace D:

[6dearborn9]

only if its in reverse

[Anakyklosis]

Wrong.

"Track two is called Pretty as a Swastika. It's something I said to a girl because of her complexion — with black hair, red lips and pale skin. I mean, it was a complex and poetic comment that soon led to intercourse, so I felt no reason for it to be seen as confusing, hateful and destructive.

[Anakyklosis]

"The record label [told me], take it off the album. Rather than do so, I decided to produce it on the inside of the sleeve with a different name, so it'll be sold in Wal-Mart or wherever stores sell guns but are afraid to deal with lyrics. So, I put Pretty as a ($) because all of their motivations are based on money."

[metallica3678]

@Anakyklosis wait where r u gettting this haha send it to me o.o

[Anakyklosis]

wikipedia(dot)org

[shikoXyuki]

@Anakyklosis LoL

[shikoXyuki]

@MelCandy i thought the same thing

[blizteria]

I love the cover, wicked

[benzindahood]

great song but i think the beautiful people is like his best. and people always talk shit about marilyn but hes really not that bad

[shikoXyuki]

@benzindahood agreed

[nikifla]

umm i have nothing really to say but that i love manson and his music

[GarryW05]

great song

[Zalen999]

I really get annoyed when people nit-pick about a genre. Does it really matter what genre it fits into? I'm content with just enjoying the music.

[MMlover1123]

I love this song!!!! manson live on forever!!!!!!

[Qzy95xfire]

lol han har börjat gjort låtar om pitzor XD

[0oroniiieo0]

HAHA du kan inte ens stava till pizza xD

[InfidelAntichristian]

you people are complaining about being called emo,punk, goth etc.

I was called a freak i would have rather been called something else personally but oh well, when I was a teen most the other kids in high school were pretty generic and homogenized anyways, I was the one kid tripping on acid sitting on the floor by himself during lunch with long black hair.

[MoralDilemmas]

Lol then I guess you would know manson has always been on the commercial end of industrial.

[hellchild65]

i wouldnt call majority of his stuff industrial except for a few songs off acss and golden age of grotesque which was most likely due to tim skolds presence. he's more so really dark alt. rock.

[riley614]

i think its a mix of all XD doesnt matter tho its still some kick ass music :)

[MMlover1123]

hey i love the kids in school who are the misunderstood ones!! i would have dated u!! haha :)

[yourp1pe]

@MMlover1123 lol

[MMlover1123]

if u were goth-ish and had long black hair i would have been ur friend u guys r normally nice and just misunderstood.. :)

[RIPDIME12804]

hey did anyone read his novel? its amazing, anyone who likes manson...read his book

[marktg30]

Just to specify, it is actually a biography. A novel suggests that it is a work of fiction. The title of his biography is "The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell".

Ciao!

[MrCr0wely]

hell ya

[KoRnLPMaggot]

MARILYN MANSON!

\m/-_-\m/

[pogosuicide]

no one forced Marilyn Manson to use the dollar sign. It was a pushing-consideration. no one owned the fucking symbol, a symbol does not have any official definition. taking matters of such dumwitts, the song is fascinating.

[TheLonePantheist]

Watch his interview on the subject. They didn't "force" him to use the dollar sign, but it wasn't his original intent.

[TheLonePantheist]

You do know that white/caucasian people came from India, right? The Sanskrit Contains German, Latin and even English words. So even if the swastika was created in India it doesn't matter.

Second, we are talking about a symbol. Symbols only have the meanings you give it. I could create a swastika look alike symbol and have it mean DEATH. Then this symbol which looks like the swastika has it's origin in America.

Manson IS talking about the Nazi swastika, comparing it to the dollar sign.

[TheLonePantheist]

Sorry, NOT comparing it to the dollar sign. They forced him to use a dollar sign instead (Which he says made an even better statement)

[robalsager]

the swastika was'nt originally a symbol of death or wateva people percieve it as now, it was originally a positive symbol and is used a lot in pre WW2 architecture.

[TheLonePantheist]

I know, it's Hindu meaning means "Let goodness prevail", I was just trying to make a point that symbols can have any meaning some one wants to give it.

[robalsager]

cool, i agree!

[architectus777]

It depends. It is a Hindu symbol and there are two versions of it. The backwards on that Hitler used is the negative one, the flip side of that is the positive one.

[robalsager]

ahh right cheers mate, as in the pantera lyric, a backwards swastika

[demithepyro]

The pretty as a swastika part sounds like posthuman.

[SClucy]

it's a fucking word...he did it to make a fucking statement, it's not for a race of people who are dead. It's for love....

[JellyFilled9]

im as pretty as swatika

[InnocentFilth]

*Sigh* When it comes down to it, humans kill each other, it's a part of life, as wrong as it is, it happens. So there is no point in argueing over it, every country kills. America drops nukes on villages and kill thousands of innocent people every day, iraq let off suicide bombs everyday killing hundreds of innocent people. There really is not point in argueing. Everyone should just try and hold their head up high, and keep a smile on their face.

[viowave]

When it comes to the point of killing Americans are so ... how do you call it. In a way if you have not Indian blood - you shouldn't be in this continent. Americans are infact the biggest Nazis - with your European ancestors. You wiped out mostly of the Indian Culture the rightous people to claim both North and South America. Those who survived the rampage and killing-spree of the colonist and christianity now live in somekind of reservates. Call it pre- Concentration Camps.

[TheMetalfoot]

I love Manson

[Death2EmptyHeads]

My girlfriend looks as beautiful as a swastika.

Thank you Marilyn.

[kingshne]

O.O a swastika is the mark on the Nazi flag..........

[Death2EmptyHeads]

Swastika was not invented by Hitler. He just stole the symbol.

I am not a Nazi, but what is the big deal if somebody is a Nazi ?

[kingshne]

i said nothing of Hitler now did i....i only said "Nazi"and yes it is a religious figure (to religions likes Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism ect.)but i think that the way that MM is using it is nazi based just a guess really i couldn't tell if he used it religiously or errr in a nazi fashion but it dosent really matter

[Death2EmptyHeads]

You didn't said nothing about Hitler...but you said Nazi. Well...is the same thing.

There was only one Nazi political group. Hitler's.

Still... everybody is free to express their own opinion. There is no big deal ( to me ) if somebody is a Nazi.

They are humans too, right ?

[kingshne]

true...every one is human,but let me say this Hitler was a despot but he still had people helping him,so saying Nazis and Hitler are the same thing is like saying that that general is a front line troop in his army

also even though Nazis are human too they didn't treat their victims like it...

[Death2EmptyHeads]

President Clinton did not treat the Serbs like humans.

Throwing bombs all over , killing children ?

Well i guess is ok with that.

Humanity looks at Hitler for only what he did .

Without Hitler, America would not have today nuclear weapons.

[kingshne]

well that is true,but at this point in life nukes are powerful,nukes are destructive,nukes are the ultimate killing machines,and their completely useless........just think about it you will get what i mean

true Clinton did not treat them fair,but at least he killed them humanly "supposedly"a nuke is a completely painless death without the matter that your skin is being teared from your bones.....

[Death2EmptyHeads]

Murder has no excuse. Don't matter how they do it. Is still murder.

How about American soldiers having their throats sliced like bread in Iraq ?

My point is that Hitler wasn't the only one killing without mercy.

In America of course he was of course the worst man ever on earth.

Not where i live. Where i live....he was just a killer.

[kingshne]

true soldiers are the tools of politicians war does not bloody the hand of the soldiers only the ones who guides that hand

trust me i know what you feel i am highly anti-war i hate war for it is only the way 2 spoiled politicians fight like small children with over powered weapons its just sickening

[youtoober19125]

see americans are afraid of different political view points and as soon as they see a swastika they cry and scream be cuz they are scared of a simple sighn if you put a swastika on the door of a school in the morning they would have the news there in 15 mins and they would close the school and parents would be crying saying how there scared for there children, instead of teaching there kids to ignore and to not be afraid of that stuff

[kingshne]

dude that sign has left a mark on the whole world.....it may be used by man people but it has still left a mark on mostly the whole world

now then let me ask you a question that dose not need to be answered(i forgot the word for it sorry)what is your outlook on pointless,mass genocide?

[sucksnani]

nice intro

[Geoffrey3005]

Love Marilyn Manson!!!

[mobstashay]

i love his musik espacially this song one of my faves!!!

[mansonjoselito]

Great song and singing. The heaviest song of the album. Good or evil simbolism, who cares?

[DarthKrattus]

The Swastika was in HindU symbolism ages before, as well as Buddhist symbolism, both for good luck and peace. The Nazis stole it and rotated it 45 degrees and called it theirs.

[kingofdaherbz]

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT!!!

[SAMSONestacado]

White people have been using the swastika for 1000's of years before Christ was even born. To say the Nazi's stole it from them is stupid as fuck. It is always funny to watch people orgasm with delight when they find out that another race had been using it before German National Socialists did. I hate to break it to you people, but the Hindus and Buddhists did not invent the swastika, and so the National Socialists could not possibly have "stolen" it from them.

[SAMSONestacado]

I also just wanted to add that I do not promote bigotry, I don't believe that it was used by the National Socialists to promote "racism" and represents similar positive ideals that are being upheld by cultures that you still see today.

[kingofdaherbz]

k could u be more specific on what white people was using it before the buddhists... cuz im pretty fuckin sure they created it!!!!

[SAMSONestacado]

Buddhism was founded in approximately 500 B.C.E.

The swastika is so old we can not determine its origin. The oldest known swastika I am aware of, was found in Ukraine. It was painted on a Paleolithic cave 10,000-12,000 years ago.

[VenaVenable]

$ = Swastika

lol

nice song

marilyn rulez

[MansonKid555]

how unique

[hanamanson]

good song!! manson is freaking sickkkkk

[Ikillednervous]

I'm seeing him on the 25th!!

[DerangedPancake]

Seriously?! I am to! You live in Nova Scotia?

[Fuckingchrist]

You, me and the rest of the fuckheads in Halifax.

[ACOTFProductions]

The show was mint as fuck!

[4thbeast]

he's not goth, emo, scene OR punk. hes Marilyn FUCKING Manson!

[VampireHeart613]

he's etc.

[lucianostr]

really like you comment...

[xfilesmanson]

why cant he make it sound like holy wood again

[hellchild65]

cuz he never likes to repeat things, thus how each album has different sounds to it.

[VampireHeart613]

because holy wood is holy wood, nothing else it supposed to sound like holy wood other than what holy wood, is...and cuz john 5 is gone

[HenryVidsAndThat]

It is impossible not to be labled now. Chavs are constantly shouting GREEBO at me because I wear black shirts, jeans and have hair that goes down to my shoulders. tbh though I hate all chavs, emos and scene kids. goths, rockers, metalheads anyone like that I think are cool because we have not done anything wrong. chavs have fucked up society and emos and scene kids should just fuck off. At least the goths in my town are cool and have a sense of humor.

[0btbam0bmth]

i know right, lables are stupid. yeah we may dress differently we may be gay it doesnt matter. we are who we wanna be everyone else can just fukk off

[metallica3678]

lol i have been called emo scene goth punk skater and alot of those mainly cause i dress like well all of em maybe one day i wear all black or sum shit ppl call me emo or goth so who gives a fuck anyway?

[NotanEmoJasmine]

Best song off the album so far! LUV IT

[atsuktuvas2]

Swastika is peace sympol ^^ (rly)

[princessofdimonds]

the only song that doesn't make me fall asleep

[ManaxRockMySocks]

No it's not about the Nazi Swastika

Manson said that the Swastika is the dollarsign you see in the ''Armageddon'' musicvideo. Cause in America it's all about the money , so...

that's one thing for sure

[DarthKrattus]

No, he's talking about Isani Griffith. He said she had red lips, white skin, and black hair, which reminded him of a Swastika. So he wrote this song after they broke up.

[loopo87]

i deticated this song to the girl i like. she was flattered.

[vermineenflure]

go check the meaning of swastika on wikipedia...

[vermineenflure]

amazing song anyway, i looove u manson

[DRACLEAH]

Why is it, everytime I step onto a Manson video on youtube someone has to bring up the fucking word(s) emo, goth or greebo? FUCK OFF. PLEASE. You listen to Manson yeah? Doesn't make you any different to anyone. I know a ton of different 'types' of people who listen to him. Get the fuck over it. Thanks :)

Over all, this song is amazing. Agreed?

[SannaaahXD]

The beginning sounds like Placebo's Every You Every Me, good song anyway

[Arinel88]

I think the same.

[93soziogenesis93]

"no it's about Nazi swastika is the symbol of Nazi."

YESS, DUMBFUCK! Its all about truth. AND WE WILL GAS ALL PSEUDOJEWS! Wheres your prettyshitty yellow star?

;)

O.K., now serious: Hail ME! Manson is just the propaganda- minister, like Göbbels was. But Ill be führer one day!

Now, tell me, whos neurotic? (Trademark by DSM-IV)

Oh, Ive passed my medication...

[italiangirl9696]

labels are for soup cans and cereal boxes : )

[Ozzy0sbourne]

I think it's funny that i'm kinda gothic... went out... and got hate for being a "fucking emo".

First of all, there is nothing wrong with being emo. It's you, and no one should have the right to change that.

Second of all, if this person is an ignorant, narrow minded, immature cunt, that can't tell the difference between an emo and a goth, then his opinion doesn't really mean much to me.

[zoctfear]

holy crap, i got that same thing. im a little goth. Tripp pants, marilyn manson, and a black t-shirt and somehow im a "fucking emo jerk poser"

[NotanEmoJasmine]

i dnt get why people label themselves. If you dress that way to break the mold (which i do) and u go labeling yourself as some stereotype than what's the point? Labels are for soupcans. Not people

[Blackbullet0666]

This is a great new song from Manson :) Different from his earlier works, in terms of the style..but still good. I don't think Mariliyn Manson is 'emo' at all! & don't understand how it can be considered as such...but that's just my opinion.

[LynZxLuSh]

why even lable his music? marilyn manson is amazing. he isn't "scene" or "emo" god you're all stupid. stop with the lables.

[chaoticcoty]

No one called him scene or emo

I'm not the idiot I read the comments

He is more goth than anything...

[skeeterpeter57]

im a jock but i fucking hate emos but i like his music

[Bellhelly]

Marilyn Manson is NOT emo , in fact emo bandas have stolen his image . The oen he eveloped for Golden Age of Grotesque. Some emo fans might like his music , but he isn´t emo.

[chaoticcoty]

I think you mean scene not emo...

[targetaudience0x]

hahahahaha oh dear lord...

[DeadlySociopath]

Meh...Here's where my problem starts.

Manson isn't even cool enough to be evil, anymore.

It used to be gripping and edgy and now it's just.. plain. His fanbase consists of scene and emo 12 year old girls now. It's his fault because his music appeals to them the most.

I think it's time to start riding a black horse before he writes any more music.

[Megaloth]

any1 know why this video is 5:19 minutes long when the song is only 2:46 minutes long?

[evilen4u]

-_- its not about Nazi, the swastika used to be a symbol of peace...

[Jackel8248]

He's not using it in that sense.

[marw233]

no it's about Nazi swastika is the symbol of Nazi.

[0oroniiieo0]

your dream never gonna come true, fag

[0oroniiieo0]

who is the fag?? you want me to suck your cock... isn´t that gay?

[TheFaceMeIter]

Ronnie, fuck nirvana fan. Thanks for posting these vids man! You fuckin rock. Don't let negative douchebags bring you down. Thanks to you, I'm getting to enjoi the new manson album. \m/

[marquisofsaints]

weird comment jazzy.,

[MarkPrimo182]

I lov ehow someone managed to spell sawastika wrong when its right infront of ya face

[jazzyblackrose]

My cousin is a Nazi and she loves the swastica, and I heard this song and I was like 'holy shit, its her song' haha

[Luminor23Mylove23]

aah I love it! It is the best song fromn the high end of low in my opinion.

[13lackR0se]

meh his new stuff is good but his old stuff kiks more ass cause its dark and very antichrist

[nbhjfy]

agreed

[Lovertits9]

i think manson would be disappointed to hear someone say something like that, because it reflects a complete misinterpretation of his artistic intentions.

he is not "antichrist," in fact he said in an interview once that jesus christ is one of the people in history he can relate to the most. that's what mechanical animals was all about---relating to someone more like jesus.

antichrist superstar was metaphorical, luciferian indeed but not "anti-christ" in a literal sense.

[yakushaaa]

I prefer "Devour" *--*

[Jackel8248]

I find this one to be more true to mansons style, so I prefer this one.

[Tortur3dPo3t]

This song is amazing!!!!!!!

[EMOGIRLRULZ]

wow this song rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[traver66rsvids]

awsome song

[Atreyu1611]

I fucking love this song...can't wait to go see him

[Pr3tty3moGirl]

i luff this song ^^
