"Beliefs allow the mind to stop functioning. A non-functioning mind is clinically dead." – Tool

"People tend to associate anyone who looks and behaves differently with illegal or immoral activity." - Marilyn Manson
"Is adult entertainment killing our children? Or is killing our children entertaining adults?" - Marilyn Manson

"Probably my prosthetic limbs, because I'm sure that the smell of them burning would poison the rest of the neighbourhood."
- Manson in response to the question "What would you save if your house was on fire besides a person?".
"I would probably host an MTV show and I would play only Iron Maiden's 'Number of the Beast' video over and over again until everybody killed themselves"
-The Reverend on what TV show he'd like to be on as a guest.
.
"People have forsaken their imagination when they become adults but there's so much power behind your mind that you can really be or do or say anything if you put your mind to it, because belief is the key to accomplishing anything."
- The Reverend on having an imagination.
"That's the way I like to have it. Anything I say or do, I try to make very extreme in whatever way, whether it's positive or negative. So, if the reaction is the same, that makes me happy. Being mediocre is not what I want in any way, in anything."
- The Reverend on being that object of intense love and hatred.
"It's always been clear since the first record that rock stardom is what Marilyn Manson was based in. The song 'Lunchbox' was about that... If they really believe what I'm saying, the more people that hear it the better, and a lot of people are always concerned about new fans that come along because of the commercial airplay... Well, people always have to discover it in their own way and it's better that they find it, because if they don't find it they would go about their lives listening to other stuff that would never open them up as much as this could, so the hard-core fans should be happy. If I was them I would be out playing it for other people. It's almost like Christianity, it's like going out and telling other people, being a missionary."
- The Reverend on veteran fans' concern over Marilyn Manson's increasing popularity.
"...I've realized that , yes in many ways our fans forsaking Christianity and listening to me is almost the same thing obviously. But what I've realized is I can't merely tell people to don't do this and don't do that and then not give them a direction to go. I think people need some sort of leader. It is quite a contradiction, it is a paradox. I think in order for us to evolve as a society, there needs to be powerful forms of art and outspoken individuals who will lead masses to a greater sense of intelligence."
- The Reverend on some fans replacing following religion or government with following Marilyn Manson.
"I associate God with boring music like Hootie & the Blowfish. In the tradition of Jerry Lee Lewis burning his piano and balling his thirteen-year old cousin, we're what rock 'n' roll's supposed to be."
- The Reverend on snatching rock 'n' roll back from God and returning it to the Devil.
MY FAVORITE BELOW!!!!!!!!!!
"I see the apocalypse and the destruction of Christianity as giving people back to themselves so they can wake up and realize that they have the ability to be their own God and their own Devil and accept responsibility for both halves. Which is all Satanism is."
- The Reverend on Satanism.
"Well, we had a music class which I hated. One time we got to bring our own music and I brought AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell'. I got kicked out of class."
- The Reverend on his school days in music class.
"I used to look so forward to watching it as a kid when it came around on Thanks Giving that I'd even go to the store and buy candy for the event. It's the definitive Marilyn Manson movie."
- The Reverend on the movie "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory".
"No. But I've been told by psychologists that I suffer from a condition called the delusion of self. It's when you feel that everything is related and all circumstances have something to do with one another. Some people think of it as a mental disorder, but I just think of it as a higher plain of awareness."
- The Reverend in answer to the question "Have you ever been to therapy?".
"My shyness."
- The Reverend on what fuels his exhibitionism.
"I've always used cosmetics as a terrorist act. It's hard for me to accept any kind of role as a sex symbol when I'm on stage, so I try to make myself more unattractive just to see what people's reactions will be. And I can't look bad enough - they keep eatin' it up."
- The Reverend on using makeup.
"I'm sure there are a lot of people who think they'd be doing the world a favour by killing the Antichrist, so yeah, I see it as a danger. But at the same time, I often feel immortal - I've had this sense since I was a kid that I've got something important to do. So, I don't have time to die - I'm too busy."
- The Reverend on fearing for his life.
LOL(below)!!!!!
"Not at all. I'll try to do whatever interests me. But whether it's ideas or chemicals, I refuse to be bound down or controlled by anything. I do feel, however, that drugs should be dispersed without restriction. Then the people who want to kill themselves will do it and there'll be more room for the people who can do the rest of the drugs."
-The Reverend's to response to "Do you consider yourself an addict?".
LOVE IT(below) !!!!!!!!
"We can't go any further without starting over. It's like what sexual position are left, what other violence can you show, what other drug can you do, what other thing can you get pierced? It's all been done. Sickly enough, maybe what America really needs is for everyone to become a Christian so we can all be excited by the taboos once again."
- The Reverend on what's in store for the 21st century.

I think this guy here knew what was going on a few decades ago:
Generals gathered in their masses
just like witches at black masses
evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of death's construction
in the fields the bodies burning
as the war machine keeps turning
death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
they only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor[/u]
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Yes, The first two Sabbath albums are still my favorites, especially the debut. I think Ozzie is a misunderstood person. He can't be as dumb as people make him out to be. He said the Iraq war was a sham early on.  |
