  • How in the world can ONE person influince what you do! All those people who commit murders and what not probably have more than ome person influincing that ! And of all the people Marilyn Manson?? I personally am in love with him and his music.... I hate people who are just blaming him because he has a different genre of music!! Kbye

  • All people do these days is judge someone by who they are. Is that what everyone cares about these days? Seriously people need to grow up. I definitely support him. People can agree or disagree but this is my opinion. People do different things. Everyone is different. And I dont think its his fault at all. And if you actually listen just for a few seconds maybe you would understand what he's trying to say.

  • i love scremo music like black veil brides, blood on the dance floor, asking alexandrie and there is really wrong with his music but i mean i dont like him yet i dont hate him he is just not the best singer to me

  • Amazing how intelligent he really is...

  • How ironic that he was the sanest, smartest and most pensive person to be interviewet in that movie. MM, you rock!!

  • He's right about it all fuck the media and the god fearing but jobs in that small town.

  • Buy things, then I can be like everyone else.

  • Sweet

  • "I wouldn't say a single word to them, I'd listen to what they have to say...and that's what no one did."

  • I maybe sounds pretty weird, but when I watched this, I cried. He is such an amazing person, but no one cares enough to see that. No one wanna see it. It's like he said: I represent everything they're afraid off.

  • @aplledapplebees2 the way one man dresses does not define who he is (well in this rotten society it does)

  • @hitleritenazi you seem like one ignorant person.

  • fear keeps people consume.. that's fucking genius, even I haven't thought about that yet.

  • that last comment he made was the comment that made me fall in love with him. :)

  • Interesting interview between two people I hate. In case you don't know it's Michael Moore and Marylin Manson. Didn't he say that he was possessed by a Demon. I'm pretty sure he did.

  • @HitleriteNazi You are retarded, aren't you?

  • experts?? these are justt douchebags saying shit

  • As expected, he is a smart man. I'm a goth girl and I can say that dressing the way I do gets me negative attention from most people. I've had small children compliment me and their parents give me harsh looks, and I've gotten those same looks from elderly people until they see me go open the car door and help my great-grandmother out and hold her arm while we walk so she doesn't feel out of balance. Then their looks soften a bit.

  • @AbbyBiohazard Awesome. It's always great when you dress really objectionably and everyone seems to judge you and hate you. And then when you act really nice and polite they no longer have a leg to stand on. Pure ownage, well done.

  • @InSingularity Last week I picked up some lunch at this place near where I work and I was waiting for my order when this elderly couple finished and paid their bill. They had been giving me some rather judgmental looks and I opened the door for them as they left. They left very confused. xD

  • @AbbyBiohazard Haha, that's brilliant. Priceless. I commend you.

  • @AbbyBiohazard serves them right. Never judge a book by its cover is the simplest motto every mentioned.

  • every time I watch this I fall in love with the man all over again.

  • What a terrific last statement.

  • Honestly, fuck the media. They will slander anyone that they think has a bad argument. They decided to point their fingers at Marilyn Manson because he is difference. He grew up being bullied. He wanted to show all the bullies that all they do is harm. He writes the things he writes (particularly towards the Christian faith) to show how hypocritical Christians are. And he proved his point a thousand times over. He has his argument, he has won it. But people are still pointing their fingers.

  • I like heavy metal and all that and today we had a drill at school and are teacher said that it's all because of heavy metal and video games it's not I've heard so many things about how gravel metal influence kids. It doesn't, like the west mimfuse 3, they people just know why they did it so they blame it on heavy metal and video games. Not true

  • he is intelligent, but some of the shit he says isnt truth. like saying the president is a bigger influence on kids. wtf?

  • Marilyn Manson had a planned concert, but he put it on hold in out of respect for those who died. The NRA, who didn't even have a planned meeting, organized a meeting directly after the event of columbine. And somehow Marilyn Manson is the bad guy?

  • I don't even like his music. But wow, for someone who dresses like that really is down to earth once you get to know him.

  • @aplledapplebees2

    Clothes dont make the man

  • "But does everybody who watches a Lexus ad go and buy a Lexus? No. But a few do." LMAO What kind of analogy is that?

  • this man is so intelligent, people fear his music but they should listen to him because he speaks more sense than most political/religious leaders

  • freedom of speech FTW

  • the only honest those 'adults' at the start could have given was "us, it was our fault, we didn't recognise pr accept the problems these kids had, we did nothing, it was our fault"

    of course they blame everything else.

  • Love the way Marilyn Manson sat on the chair facing Michael Moore. Marilyn Manson is just natural and he's also very smart. He takes all the provocations with humor.

    He looks so wise for the kind of music he makes.

  • !AMERICANS!

    9gag army

  • they are blaming everyone and everything except the fact that you can buy ammo at the barber. ah america

  • I've never liked Marilyn Manson's music but I have more respect for him. He is educated and understanding. I may not like his music but I like him as a person.

  • @atomicizzy I know what you mean. I used to buy his albums but eventually grew out of the music style, but never grew out of the message of the man behind it. He's an absolute class act as a person.

  • When I was younger I thought MANSON WAS A SENSELESS IDIOT. I HATED his music and i STILL do.

    BUT NOW I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT MARILYN MANSON IS A VERY SMART AND ARTICULATE MAN. I RESPECT HIM BECAUSE HE'S 100% HIMSELF.

  • If there gonna blame Marilyn Manson for columbine get real... i might as well blame the teletubbies

  • His last words were probably one of the most wise things i have ever heard

  • no it's stewie griffin's fault lol

  • What do Marilyn Monroe, Charles Manson, the then-president, and Columbine-like behavior have in common?

    MK-Ultra.

  • So it's Mansons fault that they were druggies, white trash, bullied, and mentally Ill? Get real.

  • Smart motherfucker. Honestly so mad at myself for shitting on him for so many years without even making an effort to see what he's like as a person

  • Not a fan of Manson's music but he's one of the most intelligent and reasonable human beings out there.

  • Blaming Manson just gave bullies an excuse to pick on goth kids or 'emos'. Ironic seeing as bullying was most likely the reason Columbine happened.

  • this dude scares me

  • AMEN, MANSON.

  • He has more wisdom in a single statement than any ignorant person that tries to pin the blame on him ever will.

  • @Taizen001 Exactly! They would rather pick on someone whose views and appearance are different to the vast majority. I believe in god but i fucking love Manson because he's so real.

  • I just recently started listening to his music. Mechanical Animals is a brilliant album. I'm not even a metal fan, but damn he's a genius!!!

  • Truth.

  • That was the most incredible answer to a question!!!

  • 0:11- 0:48

    What a bunch of pathetic adults

  • @hackerp49 You're too right... Especially Joseph Lieberman...

  • i listen to him allot and i don't want to kill anyone

  • "And that's no one did...

  • @nightbreaker1975 The columbine kids actually thought Manson was a sell-out and too mainstream

  • @jhonen32629 Oh, so you knew them...

  • @azhazel1 Nope but plenty of their friends and students said so, and THEY KNEW THEM.

  • i think every kid has thought about killing the bullies at their school, including me, that's not sick, what's sick are the people who actualy do it

  • @mosspaw1229 True I agree

  • @mosspaw1229 Actually it's not sick at all, if you think or desire about killing a person then you are a psycopath

  • @azhazel1 Therefore makes you a normal guy 'cause everybody thinks the same way when they are angry

  • @azhazel1 I'm pretty sure that would make everyone alive a psychopath.

  • Marilyn does come across in this video by Michael Moore, as a caring person. However, I think his example did inspire those boys to go out & do what they did. Remember that song he does where he says, "Get.......Your..........Gun!!­" He wasn't the only inspiration. They were also into other things like the band Rammstein.

  • @nightbreaker1975 no. The columbine kids didn't even listen to Marilyn Manson. He was just the scapegoat. I listen to him and Rammstein and I have not shot up anything nor will I ever. Both of the boys were mentally ill and on top or that they felt that no one cared about them. They wanted to get a message out, but no one would listen. This event got people to listen to what they had to say, but people got absolutely nothing from it except that Marilyn Manson is Satan and video games are evil.

  • @nightbreaker1975 the song is actually called 'Get Your Gunn'

    'The song was inspired by the 1993 murder of OB/GYN doctor David Gunn (hence the spelling) who was killed in Florida by anti-choice activist Michael Frederic Griffin. Vocalist Marilyn Manson later described his murder as "the ultimate hypocrisy I witnessed growing up: that these people killed someone in the name of being 'pro-life'.'

    If you knew anything about this, you'd know the killers didn't listen to Marilyn Manson.

  • My feelings on this video is weird, the friggin crazy,bible thumping,holyier than thou,religious speakers need to stop!! They're only blaming him because like he said he's the poster boy for fear he stands for a greater source of people that they're scared of. He's only speaking the truth about America. It's all fucked up and it only makes me love Marilyn even more, Columbine didn't happen because of Marilyn Manson it happened because those boys were horribly picked on and got ignored for it.

  • that guy speaking on the microphone , what a cock!

  • Wow, so my opinion on him has totally changed.

  • He iz genius!!!!! I have his antichrist superstar album on vinyl record still sealed

  • i hat ethe fact he only got the blame coz to kids had on a long black coat and a hat on :(

  • the last thing marilyn said gave me chills!

  • the last line literally brought tears to my eyes. it was perfect. such a great guy

  • He is so intellectual, really well spoken, and so right when it comes to the last line!

  • Very well spoken, I agree with last comment

  • Holy shit. He is so well spoken, and his perspective makes the most sense I've ever heard.

  • He's scared the shit out of me since the days of TRL, but he makes total perfect sense.

  • I've never been a huge fan of his music, but to me, MM is an incredible figure. what he says in this video is beautiful. thank you Mr Moore for putting this man on camera

  • Manson saved my life. What People won't see is that he stands up for everyone who's different, and he stands up against the pressure and brain-washing of religion. His music is strengthening, it keeps people like me from giving in and die.

  • @Ringfingerism I higly respect Manson myself and find his music calming. I have to disagree with you concerning the "brainwashing of religion" bit though. Manson himself stated that he respects religion, he doesn't respect people that use it for manipulation. To me it's not religion that ought to be blamed but the figures and media surrounding it (you know, those people that are no better than hyped up "spiritual" politicians that use it for fear and control).

  • I miss rockstars with brains...

  • I'm not the biggest fan of his music but for the last question he took about a half a second to answer. really smart guy

  • The world needs radicals like Manson because all the Jesus freaks need someone to blame for their mistakes. Where were these shooter's parents when they were purchasing guns and ammo? Where were the teachers and school staff when these kids were being bullied? These people need to point fingers so they won't feel bad about themselves and what they could have done to prevent this. Well fuck you, religious people are such hypocrites and a bunch of ignorant pansy ass bitches.

  • I Love This Man .

  • was this interview done in a janitors closet?

  • I'm going to give that bastard or bitch a piece of my mind or penis.

  • THAT LAST ANSWER.. Manson didn't take ONE SECOND to reply and I can tell he's being sincere.

    Once I just liked his music but now, because of this interview, I have so much deep respect for Manson as a person. ROCK ON!!

  • We were watching this in class and my friend thought that he was born with that line across his face

  • Damn that last line rang deep.

  • Everyone wants to blame Manson for the killings, drug abuse, the suicides, the sex, the satanism. Are you for real, get a life people. Have you even looked at yourselfs to see how you influence others. Give him a break he is just a human being. I Love You Manson and look up to you. You are the best:)

  • The killers didn't listen to Manson. They didn't even like him. They were into Rammstein and KMFDM.

  • @SkunkyAngry Yes But pharmaceutical compagnie ( on witch killers was using by the way one of the side effect can be violence ) selling anti depresor to children had to find someone to blame on ... Maryline rock and roll evil ... just tink about it !!!

  • @SkunkyAngry ahahahahh thats funny cause i love those groups

  • omg MARILYN MANSON IS AMAZING FUCK OFF HE HAS RESPECT FOR PEOPLE

  • I watched South Park once. I can't stop killing people called Kenny

  • After watching this, I have completely changed my view about him. He seems much better than what was being said in the paper

  • @bluebird34268

    the paper says a lot of things.

  • I've always been a fan of Marilyn Manson...and I remember watching "Bowling For Columbine" and the last thing he says in this interview just made me respect him so much more.

  • Why always dush guys with blue shirts with moron hair talking about god and shit? Suck my dick.

  • Obnoxious, self-rigtheous maggots. I'm surprised they didn't go protest blaming Manson for 9/11. I have more sympathy for him, than Joe Average in that blue shirt. Fucking hypocrites.

  • The REAL Funny thing about Manson is that people think that he's retarded or something but..well..let me ask you this if he's so retarded/stupid 1. Why does he have a degree or what ever in journalism HMMM?? and 2 If he's so stupid etc. How come he's so rich? he must be doing something right... Love his stuff too \m/

  • He really does speak the truth

  • manson is just a lyrical genius and some ppl take it the wrong way they need to realize manson is a very good guy i love u manson

  • Marilyn Manson is so intelligent. It's incredible that people Misjudge him so much.

  • Absolutely brilliant man. Never been a big fan of mm. But I do respect the they'll out of you mm. Thank you for being a good, decent human being.

  • Smart

  • I wouldn't say a single word - I would listen to what they had to say - and that is what no one did....

    I wonder if teh religious right will ever figure out that Jesus taught them to "be quick to listen, and slow to speak" but they keep yammering away at the top of the lungs with their brains turned totally off - just like the murderers of Jesus 2,000 years ago.

  • my dad needs to see this

  • @DTEENPUNKROCK Same, he might understand why I respect Manson then xwx

  • just dont let them watch then ! simple:)

  • While parents are protesting, their kids are out doing whatever they want. Its the parents fault.

  • HAHA Columbine was justice, fuck the protests!!! T

  • I love how lots of people think he is a freak because of the way he looks, they think he is going to be a screwed up junkie because of the way he looks as well.

  • A very smart man right there.

  • @Breewolf666 true but a total wierdo

  • @McMuffin752 Whats the defination of weird? Whos to say what is normal and what is weird? Manson shows many people that its okay to be different and express themselves in many ways. Thats what parents hate.

  • @Breewolf666 i see what your saying, he is really smart but a total creeper lol

  • Last line of this interview is genius.

  • why don't they blame bieber for making his fans idiots? ask him how does he make such an influence on them to become so stupid.

  • @katiasitnikova0717 Maybe because his fans isnt stupid? So what if you don´t like Justin Bieber, but it doesnt mean you have to say fucked up things about his fans :)

  • Comment removed

  • This was really cool. Most of what i've ever heard about him has been other people's opinions, and bits a pieces of his music. This is enlightening and shows another side of him less often seen.

  • I was really shocked to know that Marilyn Manson is like 52. I guess the makeup makes him look younger!

  • @muggle5972 He's only 43.

  • blame your mothers for born goverment dogs

    music is art

    videogames is art

    anime is art

    movies is art

  • Any type of media that try's to talk crap about Marilyn manson gets pwned by him

  • If you stay focused on what you want and work at it everyday then you will succeed, good or bad... but just be ready for the fruits of your labors because they will flourish... like I said, good or bad! You choose... Live with passion and keep moving forward

  • 'No one listened'? Are you guys serious..?! These kids got sooo much counseling and everyone listened! But you know what? Marilyn Manson didn't listen. He never went to the school and tried to cope with these kids.. ohhh he cancelled 4 shows big fucking deal! This world has turned into one great big excuse! 'He didn't listen to me boohoo' grow up and go get what you want out of life, but STOP feeling sorry for yourselves!!!!

  • "I represent what most people fear- because I do an say what I want" Perfect point right there xD

  • I love that they used the Fight Song for this xD

  • You know whats really bad, just ultimately terrible. No body not one soul learned anything from this. What Manson said just now is the greatest point, or outlook one could have. But do you think anyone is listening to any child going threw some form of hell in thier life. Not one person. It's stupid true and ultimately pathetic and sad.

  • Very ending of the video he made the strongest point. No one listened. That doesn't justify what they did though.

  • its ridiculous to point the finger at subculture and entertainment to justify two teens that were obviously mentally ill and could have benefited greatly from prior intervention. No one blamed the virginia tech school shooter for anything of this sort. Fuck what about that kid in germany that drove his bike to school dressed in corpsepaint, never hear about this shit

  • If you kill people because a song tells you to do so then there are bigger problems in society than a musician on stage.

  • He's absolutely right. So many of you pigs live in fear and judge those, and hurt those who have the balls to say what they want and do what they feel. Your rapture and your bullshit you will hopefully choke on. I'm one of those people who wish Hell did exist so I could know where you were going. You poisonous right wing religious fucks.

  • Columbine-Like behaviour? Some one needs to retake English class badly, and maybe actually know what the hell he is talking about before he takes the stand.

  • It's just typical stereotyping.

    He's one of my biggest influences and im not a fucked-up murderer. He's amazing.

  • Oh god now i have the urge to kill my fucking teacher after listening to Marilyn Manson!

  • respect

    

  • People are just so ignorant! They look like complete fools out there protesting a concert because he look different and had different ways of thinking then they do! Fucking idiots!

  • last line is BADASS!!!

  • Smartest man in the world.

  • My only argument that music does not influence killings & such is that, as an artist, part of your job is sending s message...& that message can easily be misinterpreted. However, it's unfair to flat-out blame him & his message for the ENTIRE tragedy. Parental figures, peers, teachers, TV shows. The list goes on & on. It can't just be tied down to one influential force.

  • Screw those religious politocal crap

  • Seriously theres so many heavy metal, rock bands out there and they all say Marilyn manson seriously. I listen to his music, I aint going around killing people.

  • I'm not a fan of his music, but there's no denying that he talks a lot of sense here. Music doesn't influence people to commit murders etc. I think it's all environmental. It's how we value our own lives, and how we perceive the world around us that influences how we react to it. I wouldn't even say it's down to bullying on the Columbine Killers part, it happened simply because of how they perceived the world around them. And people like Manson are easy to blame because they're a bit different.

  • they don't like him because he's real and doesnt hide the truth

  • Comment removed

  • I love you!

  • <3 "I would listen to what they had to say, because no did."

  • Marilyn Manson makes the most sense in this movie.

  • Not keen on his music so much, but Manson certainly speaks volumes of sense compared to these other retards.

  • Marilyn Manson is a genius

  • i dont listen to to much manson but i respect him i think hes a smart dude

  • Marylin Manson for president :)
