Look how bloated his face is!!!

He’s a porker.

friends of mine have seen him live recently and he was so out of his mind on drugs he kept on falling over on stage and stuff.

sad.

That ain’t no prosthetic.

Wow, that guy has REALLY let himself go.

Sad.

If he keeps that up he’ll be the next to go Michael Jackson style. You can’t keep up that kind of existance (binge eating, cocaine, absinthe…) and expect to live to retirement age.

He might be trying to kill himself… death by gluttony. very self loathing… all your loves leave you, All of your friends hate/left you and a nation of millions hate you(except for a very small sub culture), seems very lonely.
Edit: he looks a little like fatbob,
perhaps he’s running for ASB President of PissArmy?

What the fuck is this guy’s deal? He should just cop the fuck on and stop feeling sorry for himself. Lose the weight, kick the habit and get down to writing good music (of which he hasn’t done in years)

9

Pure Belushi material

10

He’s puffed up a little, but he’s not THAT big. Granted, yes, he’s soiled what reputation he has, and again yes, his habits have indeed got to the point of alienating his fans and everyone else around him.

11

lose the weight, kick the habit and get down to writing good music isn’t his problem and his alone. think al.
manson’s public recognition of his personal problem just came up sooner than al’s, as far as a review of the respective histories goes. don’t care if manson’s wearin’ a fat suit. al wore layers of leather and wore boots to create an illusion of being just the same thin al. big blackhawks shirts too. maybe manson wants to mock the inevitable decline.
i would call that an artist decision.good or bad. who cares.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Slight difference though. One, at one point was a boney alcholic who just so happened to be on the needle and didn’t puff up till he quit the H. The other is an alcoholic and a coke head and still managed to get fat… Not good about either, really. Both passed their prime in the 90s though…

Yeah he is fucking up really bad. I can tell you from being a member over at the (now defunct) MansonUSA that his fanbase is really waning as well. Many are alienated by his incoherent “performances”, weight shifts, drunken interviews, lack of promotion or communication with fans, just lack of giving a shit really…

The live setlists have been the more or less the same since Golden Age of Grotesque, with the only change being the addition of a few songs from the whatever current new album is which are then removed save for maybe 1 single the next time around. It’s like a greatest hits set list over and over when most of the people there are fans who have seen him before and want to hear b-sides and more variety.

Criticism was getting really high over there, to the point where each thread was full of bashing and people saying he needs rehab. The new album is good, and was well received by those who heard it, but everything surrounding it is a fucking mess and there was next to no promotion for it, guaranteeing a flop on the charts.

There were a few very vocal fans still in denial, constantly defending him, but even some of the diehards had started crossing over. I’ve always been critical. I think things have been going downhill in that world since right after ‘Holy Wood’, but now it’s really bad.

To be fair this weight thing started in 2004 during the Against All Gods (Best Of) tour. Then he shifted back to being relatively skinny up until this recent time. He’s got some serious issues and I don’t want to see him fill that rock star cliche but it certainly seems things are headed in that direction…Really scary.

I wouldn’t say most of the world hates him though. I think most just don’t care/don’t even know he’s still active as a performer. When I mention Manson to people (usually twenty-somethings) they often say “he’s a really smart guy” referring to Bowling for Columbine and “is he still around?”

I think the public perception of him has been relatively static post-Holy Wood era, with his visibility gradually diminishing with each album.

He could have been so much more and it’s obvious that it’s all getting to him.

Trent Reznor’s “dopey clown” quote was quite accurate, but I prefer “bloated clown”

sir lordpike, i …i…i…aye yaye yaye…agree.
there’s no hiding your physical appearance when you’re a drunk or drug addict. you look like shit in your active addictiion. period.

16

He looks like a gothic Mama Cass.

Seriously though…

[:)]

17

The dude from the deftones got/is even fatter

18

Why is he wearing a big fucking jacket during a performance? Doesnt he get hot in that thing, I guess he’s trying to cover up his big gut.

Chubby Chubbster!

19

The dude from the deftones got/is even fatter

haha. Chino’s weight gain was random. I remember when they started, he was a stick. Now you could confuse him for santa. Manson got fat, but with enough blow you can make those pounds melt away, which he likely did… But I know he’s capable of much more if he got his shit together. But it’s a matter of him admitting that he does indeed have a problem. But he’s honestly too fucked to care.

pelligro wins with “gothic mama cass”.
holy crap. STAY AWAY FROM HAM SANDWICHES!
or not.
