New Tour

Hello to all the Manson maniacs.

I haven't posted in a while because I went on vacation and now I'm back.

Well the other day I was scrolling down my facebook news feed and noticed my best friend posted a poster for a one night only date in Phoenix, AZ with Rob Zombie.  I thought it was cool, then the next day I found out, via Manson's facebook page, he's going to be touring with Rob Zombie on the Twins of Evil Tour. I think it's quite awesome that those two are getting together for a tour with each other (especially since they always play Zombie after Manson on my Manson Pandora station), so I'd like to wish him all the luck with the new tour and I'll post the dates when it comes closer to the time, or you can check out the dates at his website.

That's all I have for now, post again soon.

Manson and Movies

Hi to all the other Manson Lovers,

I haven't blogged in a while, school will do that to you (fucking finals week) but I'm back so be happy.

 I noticed a new movie the Born Villain has been in (I've already seen Lost Highway, as well as The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things) .  It's called Wrong Cops Chapter One and it isn't that bad.  For anyone who hasn't seen it, Manson plays a kid with braces (and so awkward he's adorable) that loves music and gets 'kidnapped' by a cop that deals weed to people.

I recommend this movie to people who haven't seen it and love Manson.  The next few dates for the Hey Cruel World Tour are as follows (I'll post the times if I can find them) :

June 9th: Belgrade, Serbia @ the IQ Music Festival
June 12th: Kaunas, Lithuania @ Kaunas Arena
June 15th: Gothenburg, Sweden @ the Metaltown Festival
June 16th: Copenhagen, Denmark @ Copenhell
July 5th: London, England @ 02 Academy Brixton
July 6th: Liege, Belgium @ the Les Ardentes Festival

Well that's it for tonight, I'll blog some time during the weekend or next week.

Wandering Mind

I was just sitting in the dirty old library at my shit hole of a community college this afternoon, trying to get some work done when the WiFi wasn't trying to cut out on me, or completely cut out.  I wasn't really paying attention when Pandora started playing Orgy's cover of 'Blue Monday', thus distracting me from what I was supposed to be doing (like I could get anything done anyway).  I thought to myself, that I'd love to hear a Manson cover of this song.

There are people on youtube that claim that the version of  'Blue Monday' they had uploaded is Mr. Manson's but in reality it isn't, it's just Orgy's again and how anyone could actually think the guy from Orgy sounds anything like MM is beyond me, they sound nothing alike.  I want a real Manson cover of that song damn it! I don't think it will ever happen though, which is a shame. 

He's done so many wonderful covers from Sweet Dreams to You're so Vain.  Why not one more? I mean yeah his fans (me being one of them ;) ) want kick ass original work as well, but every time I hear Orgy's version I can't help but think Manson could do a better version (sorry Orgy fans). I mean, lets face it, that song would sound amazing with the sandpaper roughness of his voice, with a slightly darker tone to the melody of the song itself.

Before I get back to doing what I was trying to get done this afternoon. Just a friendly reminder :), Friday, MM will be at the House of Blues in Atlantic City, New Jersey (show starts at 8 I believe). I hope everyone that has/had tickets has/had a great time.

Also, just in case I can't get around to posting this weekend he has two more shows:

Saturday, May 5 in Pittsburgh, PA @ Stage AE and
Sunday, May 6 in Grand Rapids, MI @ the Orbit Room

~Goodnight for now~

I Really Don't Understand Some People's Reasoning

Hi everyone,

I was just thinking, there was the website I ran across a few weeks ago and I was discussing it with my best friend (not in great detail but I brought it up).  The website contains some testimonials from people (girls I assume) who met Manson around 96 and 97, (except for one because John 5 was mentioned and he joined in 98(?)) and how great they were personally, and all that shit.  If it did happen, wonderful, fine, its great you met them, but I doubt they said it happened in that way, if it happened at all.  Sure SOME parts of it might have happened but I don't know if it happened exactly the way they said it did, and that's where I have my doubts (people lending people money...etc.)

Granted, yes I'd love to meet them and I bet that Marilyn and Twiggy are very nice people.  From all accounts I've read and seen they seem like they would be, however, I don't think that all the accounts on that website are accurate. This may seem like a jealousy rant, but it really isn't because while I would love to meet Mr. Manson himself, it'll probably never happen and I have no jealousy for the people that do/did (well maybe a little but I'm not going with a teenager's account on what happened when they went to a Manson concert).

Speaking of Concerts....the tour continues tonight at The Wellmont Theater in Montclair, New Jersey and they'll be in Atlantic City, New Jersey at the House of Blues the show starts at 8:00 pm.  Tell me about it if you went...I wanna know.

All the Manson love in the world
