Marilyn Manson

[MuNkY]

(i think the beatles are overrated)

I didn't know 155 million albums or something like that is over-rated.

Your opinion though.

Whoah how did The Beatles come up in a Marilyn Mason thread?

The Beatles are like oldies music and like Mayilyn Mason is like dark heavy stuff music.
There is no way you can compare the 2 because they are wayy different genres.

We're comparing their song-writing ability. Genre has nothing to do with that.

So you like him because he's different. Somehow I am beginning to see another definition for "different" because the way I see it, everyone is different. We all don't walk around like cloned zombies (well, except for maybe those who name themselves as "emo" lol). Anyway, to think someone is the best songwriter who ever lived because he is different is just pure ignorance, I think. Sure, he sings a few songs that people take to heart, but so doesn't nearly EVERY artist out there. Everyone has their own favorite singer...doesn't make that singer the greatest songwriter who ever lived.

I agree, it wasn't his fault the kids did what they did at Columbine...what the kids did was a result of the lives they lived and the progression of many overlapping cirumstances.

I gotta tell you, this guy, who we are talking about, isn't any more "great" of a song writer than Barney (the purple dinosaur) lol. The fact that he is "different" doesn't make him a good songwriter, lol. Heck, David Blane is "different"...does that mean he is a great songwriter? lol.

He is a man who promotes drugs in the hands of teens. Not only is he a poor songwriter, he is also a horrible role model. IMHO.

*applauds* Manson was a bit of a fruit loop to say the least. Anyone who promotes drugs at all should have their head examined.

(This does not count the anitbiotiocs and the like, I mean the illegal drugs.)

Does The Beatles and Marilyn Mason write about the same thing?
No.
So how can you compare it?

 

[Sparx]

So how can you compare it?

Because the beatles were some of the greatest songwriters.

In the op manson was called the greatest songwriter.

Hence compairing him to the greats of music past.

Hmm..
Well, I really don't know how you guys can compare it, but okay..

No.
So how can you compare it?

Because the Beatles' hits are a lot more complicated lyrics wise than Manson's. I noticed with Manson's writing, he starts things out with the same thing a lot. Hence you get....

I ___________
I ___________
I ___________
I ___________

...or...

My ___________
My ___________
My ___________
My ___________

He's very, repetitive. The Beatles, however, are great writers. For instance, here is some lyrics to "Hey Jude".

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Not exactly repetitive. Yes, they sing two different genres. Yes, they come from two different times, but writing and lyrics are ageless and know no genre.

Marilyn Manson
"Rock Is Dead"

"All simple monkeys with alien babies
Amphetamines for boys
Crucifixes for ladies
Sampled and soulless
Worldwide and real webbed
You sell all the living
For more safer dead"


The Beatles
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

"It was twenty years ago today
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"


Uhh..

So Bob Marley should have his head examined.

Uhh..

That Manson song scares me...

Anybody involved in recording should be examined.

My god you have whole decades to look at. The 60's, 70's, 80's...ugh.


Oh and about the Manson song she posted, it doesn't really have a plot. Not that I could come up with. Senseless blabble. Sgt. Pepper is very well written.

Yeah...I know I just wanted to post it to see how different the lyrics are.

Now what is the first song about?

Eh.. To be honest I don't know.

 

[Sparx]

Eh.. To be honest I don't know.

its not about anything. theres no rhyme scheme. no plot.

Good songs sound like poetry when read without music. That song sounds like random words scrunched together.

Exactly.

That is how we can compare The Beatles to Manson.

Haha.
Yeah.
I don't know what the guy think, but he definatly thinks up some .. weird .. stuff.

That doesn't make him a great lyricist though, and that's exactly what we were trying to get to. Lol.
