from Oannes

Ο Marilyn Manson, μου είναι περισσότερο ενδιαφέρων για τα εικαστικά του. Ιδίως τα βίντεο, τα οποία δίπλα στη σοκαριστική, άρτια αισθητικά παράμετρο, περιέχουν πλήθος κρυπτικών αναφορών. Δεν παραλείπει βέβαια να προσφέρει κάποιες δυνατές μουσικές συγκινήσεις. Οι τελευταίες σπάνια αφορούν τα “χιτ” της καριέρας του. Ένα από τα αγαπημένα μου τραγούδια του MM είναι αυτό, από το δεύτερό του άλμπουμ.

To me, the most interesting thing about Marilyn Manson is his visuals. Especially his videos which, apart from the shock element and the high aesthetics, contain a myriad cryptic references. He doesn’t fail though to offer some strong musical emotions. Not by accident, they rarely relate to the “hits” of his career. One of my favorites is this one from his second album.
