#98QBKiller Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/266434/marilyn-manson-loses-his-makeup-gains-a-mullet/ Marilyn Manson Loses His Makeup, Gains a Mullet Believe it or not, the mullet-wearing man in this photo is actually controversial shock-rocker and performance artist Marilyn Manson. The 41-year-old (real name: Brian Warner) is rarely seen without his goth-like heavy white makeup, black-rimmed eyes, and red lips, so why is he sporting such a distinctly all-American look in this photo? According to Interview magazine's website, which published the photo, it's because Manson is a huge fan of a certain TV show. Interview reports that Manson is a "diehard" fan of HBO's "Eastbound & Down," the critically worshiped comedy starring Danny McBride as a washed-up former baseball star whose trademark mullet and angry face Manson is imitating in this photo. [Another buzzy photo Venus Williams' distracting dress] Interview's reporter Hunter Stephenson was intrigued when he found out from "Eastbound" creators that Manson is "obsessed" with the show and its sporting protagonist, Kenny Powers. So he asked a director currently working with Manson about it. "Whenever I see Manson, he's repeating entire chunks of dialogue and dressed like Kenny," Adam Bhala Lough, who's directing Manson in the upcoming film "Splatter Sisters," told Interview. Lough went on to say that Manson dresses like "Eastbound" character Kenny Powers all the time, and provided this photo, credited to Manson himself, as "evidence." While it's completely believable that Manson would be a fan of the hilarious "Eastbound" -- despite his freakish exterior, Manson does have a decent sense of humor -- it's also worth noting that "Eastbound & Down" co-director David Gordon Green is also producing "Splatter Sisters." Hmmm. [Photo: Rihanna's gun tattoo] "Eastbound & Down" begins its second season September 26, and "Splatter Sisters" (which co-stars Manson's on-again, off-again flame, Evan Rachel Wood) is due out next year.

AsburySkinsFan Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 So many people freaked out about him and his make-up I guess they didn't see it for what it was, an act. meh... He'll just be another footnote in the pop culture history books, he brought nothing of note to the table to better the art, instead he was there to shock sensibilities...:yawnee: Been there, seen that...

AsburySkinsFan Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 20 years before Marilyn Manson was Alice Cooper. Yeah, and at least Alice Cooper was somewhat original....somewhat. But you're right, MM act was just a rebranding of Cooper's 70's act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryman of the North Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Hahahaha, awesome. I love old school alice cooper but Marlyn manson does have talent. If you like angry music there isnt much better for psych up tunes than beautiful people,his remake of sweet dreams is pretty damn good and his remake of tainted love is amazing (the video is pretty hot.) I met him once early in this decade, there was a rumour that he was the big nosed kid from the wonder years. he was on tour in edmonton and we had a nightclub called the morgue (used to actually be a morgue) and of course he was there hanging out. one of my buddies bet me a beer that I wouldnt ask him if it was true. I walked up and asked, he laughed and said " I don't know how that bull**** got started but no I am not." He seemed like a pretty decent guy TBH. we need some of the old guys to come chime in about the "devils music" to really make this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 he has a surprisingly suburban/normal looking bathroom I would expect everything in his house to be painted black. The bright white bathroom with stars in the shower and orange bottle of shampoo definitely was a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Maybe it's just me but being this makes him seem more like a freak to me than the makeup and stage show. I mean come on dude... you're a freekin adult. WTF are you doing? Playing dressup as your favorite TV show character? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bright white bathroom with stars in the shower and orange bottle of shampoo definitely was a surprise.there's a video of an interview he did with bill o'riley a while back, that actually shows some insight into him as an individual. Without saying it directly, he implied he was very aware that he was just an act and was peddling a product.I mean, how could anyone see his **** and conclude that he is anything original or genuine?

Only dumb teenagers fall for that. I hope too many of them don't get depressed when they find out he's just a businessman trying to sell records. :pfft: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xameil Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Marilyn Manson is a product of Trent Rezznor. Right around the same time as Alice Cooper is Mercyful Fate with King Diamond. MM is more of a copy of him them Alice Cooper. All very good in their genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Marilyn Manson is a product of Trent Rezznor. Yep. Manson saw that Reznor was touching a nerve with Nine Inch Nails, and he said "I'm gonna get me some of that action. All I have to do is add some costuming." The fact that Manson doesn't have Reznor's talent is immaterial (but I admit that "Beautiful People" was a good song, even if the video is a ripoff of NiN's "Closer").
