    I want Manson to do a full musical and video rendition of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. I know his interpretation of it as a musician and director would be as inspiring as Blake’s illustrations.

    He’s so fucking ugly. I think now we all know why he used to wear so much makeup. Trying to hide that face of his. What a dirty disgusting old man he is. He’s used up and tired looking. Goes to show drugs and alcohol age you very quickly. He’s not a dark rebelous rocker anymore sorry. He’s just a creepy old man. Him and gene simmons and in the same boat.

    That is very observant, Rock3r66. Perhaps we can discuss the lack of beauty with our previous and recent presidents.

    John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    Marilyn manson’s next album should be a spoken word album with him reading poetry and maybe some prose!

    @FatRakoon Alright man say what you want i will pray for you. You can say people who believe in God are dumb that is fine but one day you will see for yourself. Also if you would not mind keept your opinion to yourself i never asked for it i just expressed my free speech on this video just like everyone else.

    @hfcsoccer422

    You can express your freedom of speech, but I have to keep my opinions to myself?

    The Irony… It burns.

    And you are wrong anyway… One day I will not find out… Because I will be dead.
    But as you say… Thats my opinion. And unlike you, I wont tell you to be quiet because your opinion differs to mine.
