People just don't understand him, they're scared of him so they attack him and blame the worlds problems on him. Lady Gaga is much more weird then Marilyn Manson aswell.
it was this that made all those fucker realize that manson was not to blame if they would just sit down and talk to them they it wouldn't happen in the first place great interview
1:00 The killers DOESN'T listen to Marilyn Manson, they actually listen to Rammstein, a German metal band. But those stupid guys thought that all metal music is the same shit, and the reason why they choose Marilyn Manson, is because they only know about this guy in the metal stream in America. :/ I think it's really unfair stuff
(Btw, Rammstein isn't a band with bad purposes.. and almost all American people don't understand the german language..)
i love god, AND i love marilyn manson! i dont care what religion he is or if he is none... i respect his music as an art, and him as a person that loves and trust himself exactly how everybody shuld <3
"I wouldn't say a single word to them. I would listen to what they have to say, and that's what no one did." <- I heard that quote, and instantly got 110% more respect for the guy. It was wrong to blame it all on him, and he's a really intellectually intelligent guy. People shouldn't be such hypocrites and judge him purely on his music and be prejudiced when the Marilyn Manson here is a genuine, honest guy.
I'm an animal lover, environmental activist, Buddhist ....and I still love Marilyn Manson...his songs are so ironic, and itt really shows the bitter truth of things...and people won't mind telling all the lies in the world to cover that up lol
Ted haggert get's caught getting a hand job from a gay man and had some meth..Manson might be a bad influence but at least he's not hypocritical.I blame the school and the parents.
The only "expert" who was correct was the one who said "Where were the parents?" And honestly, it doesn't take an expert to figure that out. People just love putting the blame on movies, video games, and music, but what about parents? Most school shooters weren't sociopathic because of music, TV, etc, it was because they had shitty parents and shitty family lives. I myself have seen violence on TV since I was born, but my parents gave me all the love in the world, and that's what mattered
Manson was actually my introduction to music, and needless to say, a very shocking one for many at the time, 12 years ago, however, i learned through the years how to value others, and respect their opinions, their degree of liberty. I learned that, and i don't dare to interfere in any course of action.
Like when Chomsky talks about freedom of expression. Marilyn Manson is the shocking realization of freedom that most pretend not to see, and blame, and point fingers
Marilyn Manson rulez,never jugle a book by its cover he is realy fucking awesome,so fuck the media,fuck the religish rights against manson and go read a fucking book!
Manson is my influence and sense I found his music and started acting like him a little just not all dect out but sense then i got more friends and I'm more my self then ever
I've been a fan of Marilyn Manson's stuff for like a few years now,because it's not like any other artist's music.. It's real,it's raw and it's Fucking amazing. He shouldn't be blamed for shit like this.
I'm actually from Colorado, and I remember when this all happened. It's fucking dumb that the my state blames him. Most musicians sing about violence, drugs and hate but you don't see them being blamed for it.
Big Pun said it best in the song "Parental Discretion" off the Capital Punishment cd, "Bullshit, I challenge the statistic-violence existed before our music was even suggested."
Moi je pense que c'est facile de cibler Marilyn manson comme bouc émissaire car comme il as dit il représente un peu la "peur" hors ce n'es pas parce-qu'il chante du Rock'n'roll qu'il as ce maquillage non atypique et qu'il as des textes " sombre " qu'il influence ces jeunes à tuer des gens . Si tout simplement le port d'armes étaient interdit il n'y aurai pas tout ces crimes . donc au final le bouc émissaire sa serai plus les états unis d'Amerique et leur politique qui ne va pas .
I love how everyone blames everything but bullies...Personally my violent thoughts doesn't come from music but from my own thoughts of revenge from years of being bullied...
I saw a documetary about The Doors. It stated that Jim Morrison believed that Americans were fascinated with violence. He believe there was a violence cult in America. I matches with what Marilyn Manson is saying here.
@MikeSV1989 its not only Americans but just people in general. Read William Hazlitt's "On the Pleasure of Hating" it really just makes you sad about how people act in general. There are few good people in the world.
I never read this book, but thanks for the tip. My opinion is that the real fascination is about death. When there's a roadside crash, everybody can´'t help themselves to look. People fear dying. And fear can be very powerful. I disagree with you, most people trend to be good. Fear and Stupidity are the real issues. Watch in the beginning of this video the dark tone of the American media. Angry Heavy Metal Subculture? I LOL. I never knew Heavy Metal was a secret society!!!
@MikeSV1989 hahaha yeah i know. i wouldnt mind looking more into it. but yeah the essay i mentioned states something like you just said about the roadside crash. in a way fear and consumption is a form of the Milgram experiment. blah blah ok feel like im saying too much ^_^;; just havent had an interesting conversation in a while
Oh the Milgram experiment. I know about it. It is horrific how it shows how easy is to guide people to obedience again: through fear and stupidity. Once the person didn't know what to do, saw an autorithy figure he or she became an easy prey. It matches perfectly what Manson and you are talking about! watch?v=BcvSNg0HZwk is the first part of a documentary about the experiment.
I believe this clip watch?v=yVRv5u36Huw will prove my point a little bit. It's funny but sad at the same time. Watch how stupid people are easily led to do wrong things. When Bruno tells the stage-mom in the end that her baby have to lose 10 lbs in a week, the stage-mom reaction is scary.
"...fear and consumption..." Manson summed up what 've been seeing outta the media and their marketing and 'standardized lifestyle' images for a long time now.
@LegallyRetardedProd I think people expected him not to be smart because of his reputation as a devil worshiper and all that, its not just about his ability to identify with his emotions because if you listened to his lyrics you would be able to appreciate that
@LegallyRetardedProd ye it does mean we though less of him, cause thats the society that most people grew up in. I would have been one of the first people to have a go at manson but after that interview I respect him and I think "he's actually smart". I mean jesus, what normal person would look at him and listen to his opinion...
@LegallyRetardedProd That's a good point....To be honest I think sometimes I forget that...but at the same time I don't hold judgements against people.

You're choosing favorite TEAMS - not LEADERS. The Corporate Plutocracy and War Profiteering Kleptocrats, they now OWN BOTH the Repugs/Dumbs. NO Democracy.

Why does it feel like that even after high school, people still act like they are in high school. Of course they would target Manson because he's different. And while they're over there following the rules and being under pressure of the people and what they need to present and protect, Manson is doing what he likes and being loved for it. It's just not fair.
Its hard to understand people commenting thinking he is smart, clever, or brilliant, yet they hate his music...I will even tell you to go head and dismiss the heavy music aspect, but I bet if you looked close into his lyrics, you will find true beautiful poetry from this guy.
We go back to the 80´s... Blaming a music style and way of life for our social problems... the conformists fag boys, are those who contribute for assholism of societys all around the world...
I hate his music I think he's awful, but I disagree, he has nothing to do with the shootings nor with violence in society, it's not like he goes forcing kids like "hey you better listen to my music". And I think the way he said "I'd just ask them what they have to say" was the most brilliant answer someone could give.
them kids would have killed anyway, if it wasn't the school, it was gona be at the mall or some church. mankind has been killing since the dawn of man. how do you think the wild west was won and everything under the sun that changes history. its because of steel and gunpowder. this just shows how people can get snaped back to reality in a second, gods wrath is the same ten times over. quit blaming MM when you know its just a dicipline disorder that these kids had.
All these people that think Marilyn Manson is the only responsable for the massacre in Columbine, they are wrong and STUPID. The only responsable people are the PARENTS.
Marilyn Mason very intelligent said, "I would LISTEN to what they have to say, that's what no one NEVER DID"
Marilyn Manson has nothing to do with the shootings
he was an easy scapegoat for those that didnt want to be blamed (the school, the parents, ect.) or those that dont want to feel any guilt for not realizing that the students involved were acting out and trying to reach out for help.
god damn it that is so powerful what he says at the end. I've watched this so many times, my respect just climbs everytime I watch it. Some people are so fucked, but not Manson!
damn dude the ending, him saying he would listen rather than say something was probably the best part of this whole interview to be honest. dude is pretty awesome honestly despite the media portrayal
1:35 Lexus adds are telling you to buy the car, asking you, persuading you, whatever you want to call it, it is an advertisement saying why you should buy a certain car, Marilyn Manson is singing songs about freedom and believing in yourself, if people go out and kill other people because they hear a positive message that has nothing to do with murder than it is the crazy persons fault. He would be right if Manson was saying "go kill people at your school" some would, but he didn't say that.

I really didn't expect this. He is an extremely insightful, deep, and open person. He's got his head on more than right and now I feel stupid for judging him so much. Marilyn Manson, you have earned my respect.
What troubles me is that he projects himself as defective and stupid over the microphone , cut camera, and you've got yourself a great philosopher ....
IF YOU HAVE HAVE BAD BREATH NOONE IS GONNA TALK TO YOU, IF YOU HAVE PIMPLES A GIRLS NOT GONNA FUCK YOU? LOL THIS VIDEO IS WHAT I LIVE MY LIFE BY. TOO MANY PEOPLE NOW A DAYS LIVE IN FEAR WHICH IS STUPID. SEE NOW WHY I DONT LIKE MEDIA DUMB AS HELL.
i personally hate mansons music, but that is my opinion, manson should not take the fucking blame for going out on stage and entertaining people by doing what he loves, people who blame music are losers, manson had nothing to do with it, you many not like his music (i don't) but don't you stupid mother fuckers for one minute dare blame the deaths of people on this mans music and artistic style, he has every right to play what he wants!! you may think he is bad but keep your opinions to your self
@Nevardcire No, I mean that Manson is not as dark as he seems, Black Metal is way darker. That's what I mean, the other thing is I said that the shooters did not listen to Manson, they listened to Rammstein and KMFDM. I was posting 2 comments in 1 I guess
@aldenhate omfg, are you retarded? were you the one that just responded to this? I know KMFDM and Rammstein are NOT Black Metal. I meant to say that Black Metal is a lot darker and stuff compared to Manson, and that the shooters did not listen to Manson, they listened to Rammstein and KMFDM. That's what I meant.
@MrGerolf No some other dude did. The way you worded your comment makes it seem like what you said was that they were, when they're clearly not. But thank you for clarifying. So chill out, there is no need to get stressed out on the internet.
There's a difference between being smart and not being a bumbling idiot; I don't think Manson is intelligent. Likewise, I don't blame him for instigating anything, whether it be directly or indirectly. What he said here was absolutely right, but that doesn't constitute brilliance. Why would he allow you people to drool over his cranium--instead of his music--when hes even half as humble he portrays himself to be? A man who prefers to listen does not put so much emphasis on delivering a message.
@TheHardworlder he does have a message...after years of being fed bullshit from the churches which are corrupt ,he decided to rebel against and say fuck you to a world in which consumes you with standards that just dont exist and i find you to be very obtuse and glib to the situations at hand,he was correct and did not at all say anything about being smart or humble,just stating the facts, and by stating the truth and delivering it so up front shows all that he truly is smarter than you.
@Toreno88 I'm not talking about religion dude. I mean yeah they did protest against Manson. I'm talking about the pussy retards like Micheal Moore and his "expert" friends who leave the shooters out of the story and blame movies, fucking video games and fucking gun stores.
i dont like masons music, but this is a awesome person, in 3:51 that quote speaks so much truth, i may dislike his music but masons character is golden
i have nothing against christians, but the majority of them are hypocritical bastards/ assholes! he is a very funny, intelligent guy. and he is strangly attractive. so people that get on here just to critasize* him.... SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!
this video gives me goosebumps.... i saw it in the movie before i saw this, but with The Nobodies playing in the background.... amazing. Marilyn Manson always gives the best and most honest answers in interviews.
"then you're watching television, you're watching the news
you're being pumped full of fear. there's floods, there's AIDS, there's murder. cut to commercial bu the acura. buy the colgate. if ou have bad breath, they're not gonna talk to ya, if ou have pimples, the girl's aren't gonna fuck you...and it' just.. it's a campaign of fear and consumption. keep everyone afraid and they'll consume
He comes accross as both intelligent and articulate. Not exactly the poster boy for the destruction of society, is he. Not a fan, but I will take him over the tea party movement any day
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
MARILYN MANSON WILL STAND BEFORE GOD .GOD WILL DESTROY HIM . BUT OTYERS PLEASE I BEG U GOD I BEG U GET SAVED TODAY JESUS CHRIST LOVES U TO FOR WHOSEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE,REVELATION 20-15 ,FOR WHOSEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALLBE SAVED ,ROMANS 10-13, 1 JOHN 1-7 THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HIS SON CLEASETH US FROM ALL SIN.
@JESUSSAVES192 There is no "God." We are alone in this life. We must account for our own actions. Please abstain from posting in all caps on the internet in the future. Most users consider that rude.
@JESUSSAVES192 If "God" is real, I think he would slap you around the face for being a troll. It is not "U" it's "you". Also Marilyn Manson is a great and wonderful artist. His pantings are amazing, his music is great! If you was to see a teenager dressed as Marilyn Manson was, you would say he need to repent and needs to be saved, just for wearing cloths that you find inappropriate.
But if you are a person of God, then shouldn't you forgive? I think that is in the bible some were.....
@JESUSSAVES192 If god is real he will accept me for who i am! and i am a girl who think this is the best music in the world! and manson is the good guy in this situation!
I was too young to give a shit when this went down, but years later being a Manson fan and watching this made me not want to live in colorado. Not that it would be different anywhere else.
This is kind of random but the girl with the blonde hair at the beginning kind of looked like Chuckie, not the first blonde one, but the older one... just sayn..
"Dooes everybody that watches a Lexus advert then go and buy a Lexus? No. But a few do!" ..because they needed a new car, or possibly because they liked the look of it & had more money than sense, or because their mistress has been on their back about a damn car for weeks.
Does everyone who listens to Manson go out and shoot people? No, but a few have... because they were troubled or trapped or mentally unstable & they had easy access to guns. Logic is a weapon too folks. Wasn't Manson's fault.
yea marilyn manson made dylan and eric shoot up a school, just like ozzy osbourne gave me depression made my mom drink and turned my dad to a drug addicted fool
what these people dont understand is that you are not seeing all of the sides of this argument these kids had family problems, mental problems and their peers where mean to them and they felt that the only way to take care of the judgement was to kill. Just because they listened to this and played tht doesnt mean anything. People are people they are all different just because i listen to a sertan type of music doesnt mean that ill kill myself or others.
What could the reasoning be behind blaming Manson? "Since someone has to be at fault for columbine, let's blame the only person currently in Denver with a brain." That must have been it.
Authority figures are very selective in what they want banned because kids aren't mature enough for it. Well poverty makes kids steal but its legal to lay off parents. Exams are a dominant cause of teen suicide but banning them isn't an option. Restricting a child's viewing creates a rift between kids and parents ,but South Park is much more harmful. Alcohol laws force teens to drink unsupervised on the street but beer must be deadly until your body magically changes the day you turn 21.
Does everyone who buys a Lexis watch Lexis ads? Maybe it was the cheapest car in the lot. Does everyone who plays GTA steal cars. Maybe juvenile crime has existed forever. Does everyone who reads the Bible believe in God? Many Christians will never read it in their whole lives. Were Eric and Dylan nice kids before they listened to Manson and suddenly turned psychotic? Maybe they just had no value for human life to begin with. Can shit happen when teenagers have guns? Yeah, Adults too!
Does everyone who buys a Lexis watch Lexis ads? Maybe it was just the cheapest car in the lot. Were Eric and Dylan nice kids before they listened to Manson and suddenly turned psychotic? Maybe they just had no value for human life to begin with.
1:39 that guy just bugs me, i wanna slap him! he needs to put himself in Manson's shoes. He wasn't there, he doesn't know specifically what happened. He's just making assumptions. Screw him. Manson is a great artist who shouldnt be blamed for people stupid idiotic hypocritical douchebag reasons!
When i first watched the film i was in middle school, Before then i didnt know who Marilyn Manson was but i always thought people who dressed like him were stupid you know.. the "wierdos" outcasts as well as the rest of my school. After i saw the film in one of my classes and actually hearing him speak in this manner changed my perspective and now i view people differently. Thanks Manson.
People just don't understand him, they're scared of him so they attack him and blame the worlds problems on him. Lady Gaga is much more weird then Marilyn Manson aswell.

Why does it feel like that even after high school, people still act like they are in high school. Of course they would target Manson because he's different. And while they're over there following the rules and being under pressure of the people and what they need to present and protect, Manson is doing what he likes and being loved for it. It's just not fair.

Its hard to understand people commenting thinking he is smart, clever, or brilliant, yet they hate his music...I will even tell you to go head and dismiss the heavy music aspect, but I bet if you looked close into his lyrics, you will find true beautiful poetry from this guy.

I hate his music I think he's awful, but I disagree, he has nothing to do with the shootings nor with violence in society, it's not like he goes forcing kids like "hey you better listen to my music". And I think the way he said "I'd just ask them what they have to say" was the most brilliant answer someone could give.
Weetabix87 3 months ago
them kids would have killed anyway, if it wasn't the school, it was gona be at the mall or some church. mankind has been killing since the dawn of man. how do you think the wild west was won and everything under the sun that changes history. its because of steel and gunpowder. this just shows how people can get snaped back to reality in a second, gods wrath is the same ten times over. quit blaming MM when you know its just a dicipline disorder that these kids had.

All these people that think Marilyn Manson is the only responsable for the massacre in Columbine, they are wrong and STUPID. The only responsable people are the PARENTS.
Marilyn Mason very intelligent said, "I would LISTEN to what they have to say, that's what no one NEVER DID"

Marilyn Manson has nothing to do with the shootings
he was an easy scapegoat for those that didnt want to be blamed (the school, the parents, ect.) or those that dont want to feel any guilt for not realizing that the students involved were acting out and trying to reach out for help.

1:35 Lexus adds are telling you to buy the car, asking you, persuading you, whatever you want to call it, it is an advertisement saying why you should buy a certain car, Marilyn Manson is singing songs about freedom and believing in yourself, if people go out and kill other people because they hear a positive message that has nothing to do with murder than it is the crazy persons fault. He would be right if Manson was saying "go kill people at your school" some would, but he didn't say that.

There's a difference between being smart and not being a bumbling idiot; I don't think Manson is intelligent. Likewise, I don't blame him for instigating anything, whether it be directly or indirectly. What he said here was absolutely right, but that doesn't constitute brilliance. Why would he allow you people to drool over his cranium--instead of his music--when hes even half as humble he portrays himself to be? A man who prefers to listen does not put so much emphasis on delivering a message.

@TheHardworlder he does have a message...after years of being fed bullshit from the churches which are corrupt ,he decided to rebel against and say fuck you to a world in which consumes you with standards that just dont exist and i find you to be very obtuse and glib to the situations at hand,he was correct and did not at all say anything about being smart or humble,just stating the facts, and by stating the truth and delivering it so up front shows all that he truly is smarter than you.

His pantings are amazing, his music is great! If you was to see a teenager dressed as Marilyn Manson was, you would say he need to repent and needs to be saved, just for wearing cloths that you find inappropriate.
But if you are a person of God, then shouldn't you forgive? I think that is in the bible some were.....

Does everyone who listens to Manson go out and shoot people? No, but a few have... because they were troubled or trapped or mentally unstable & they had easy access to guns. Logic is a weapon too folks. Wasn't Manson's fault.

what these people dont understand is that you are not seeing all of the sides of this argument these kids had family problems, mental problems and their peers where mean to them and they felt that the only way to take care of the judgement was to kill.

People are people they are all different just because i listen to a sertan type of music doesnt mean that ill kill myself or others.

Authority figures are very selective in what they want banned because kids aren't mature enough for it. Well poverty makes kids steal but its legal to lay off parents. Exams are a dominant cause of teen suicide but banning them isn't an option. Restricting a child's viewing creates a rift between kids and parents ,but South Park is much more harmful. Alcohol laws force teens to drink unsupervised on the street but beer must be deadly until your body magically changes the day you turn 21.

Does everyone who buys a Lexis watch Lexis ads? Maybe it was the cheapest car in the lot. Does everyone who plays GTA steal cars. Maybe juvenile crime has existed forever. Does everyone who reads the Bible believe in God? Many Christians will never read it in their whole lives. Were Eric and Dylan nice kids before they listened to Manson and suddenly turned psychotic? Maybe they just had no value for human life to begin with. Can shit happen when teenagers have guns? Yeah, Adults too!
