Hot Tip: Don’t Marry Marilyn Manson

Reason number 2,563,478 to not marry a weird alt metal star: “She tried to tell him she was divorcing him, but she can’t even get him on the phone.”

Look, regardless of how sassy and rambunctious you are—even if you’re burlesque bombshell Dita von Teese (née Heather Renée Sweet)…

…Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner) just isn’t the guy you bring home to meet your mother.

Well, in celebration of Dita’s reestablishment as explosively eligible bachelorette, and the announcement of Marilyn’s new album—‘Eat Me, Drink Me’, which will be followed by a world tour—here are mp3s of three songs from his oeuvre:

  • Wormboy

    I know I’m slipping, I know I’m slipping,
    I know I’m slipping away!
    Oh no, it is everything they said it was,
    Oh no, I am everything they said I was!

  • Irresponsible Hate Anthem

    Hey victim, should I black your eyes again?
    Hey victim—you were the one who put the stick in my hand!
    I am the ism, my hate’s a prism
    Let’s just kill everyone and let your god sort them out!

  • Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode cover)

    Feeling unknown and you’re all alone,
    Flesh and bone by the telephone
    Lift up the receiver, I’ll make you a believer! [...]
    I will deliver—you know I’m a forgiver!

    You need to be a journalist! That is all!

    Heh, I’m afraid gossip-mongering is a fairly saturated market, and I can’t snark like the rapier wits at eg. gawker.com. Plus it’s hardly the business to get in to make your mama proud :)

    u r all narrow minded ppl cuz the only 1 who is this world should be proud of him is Manson .

    Yes: I am narrow-minded about Marilyn Manson. That is why I wrote about him and mentioned his upcoming album, then selected and uploaded songs from his past releases, quoting their lyrics in my post, and then later said that gossip journalism is not an activity I imagine myself proud to make a living by.

    You, Sir, bowl me over with your reading comprehension skills! They’re rivaled only by your exceptional expressive talent, all in service of your indispensable critical eye.

    i think that every1 should quit fucking with manson, he already has depression and raggin on him like this is just gonna make it worse, and some people love his music( like me) and it helps them with their depression. if people like u keep tryin to ruin our kind of music there are goin to be alot more suicides!, LEAVE US ALONE!

    Well many people enjoy his music and doesn’t always need to like the person.
