I heart Manson, and being said big titted Hula girl, would not go near Mr Jizz.
They’re probably “Fat tits!” no shape, just big 'cause her poor belly had run out of space at one time.

not sure if you guys ever check out metal sludge, but they’ve got a section called exposed that has pictures from metal guys in funny situations. i.e. high school pictures, cheezy band shot… and here’s a few they have of tim skold…
from his shotgun yrs…saw this a long time ago…funny shit!
I’d like to cross his Rubicon…
Wow. Outspunks me anyday
Yeah Tim Skold left Marilyn Manson when Twiggy rejoined. I am really excited to hear new material now that Twiggy is back.
‘GAOG’ and ‘Eat Me, Drink Me’ were good albums, but they both lacked that touch that made Manson’s sound so unique musically. Twiggy is a better songwriter.
And for the record Jizzwad, I’ve never been a real fan of Tim Skold. I dislike KMFDM and have never heard his solo work. He strikes me as a mediocre Industrial Rocker. Manson definitely brought out the best in him.
Twiggy never had such a fancy outfit, but he beats that skold guy. Do you guys now his project with Chris Goss? Goon Moon. They have a lovely Bee Gees cover and nice rock and roll songs. You just have to see mtv cribs to know that Twiggy is a nice guy.
I’ve met all of manson circa mechanical animals line-up and then also i’ve met seperately daisy and they all were extremely nice people… skold I met while he was with kmfdm and although he may have worn a codpiece and about 6 belts when he was a younger, he was a nice guy too.

I’ll give you “Golden Age…” but “Eat Me, Drink Me” was horrid!! It ranks up there with the “My Chemical Romace” singles they spin on the radio! “Eat Me, Drink Me” you can definitely hear that Twiggy is no where near that album. Golden Age still had a bit of a bite!
“Mechanical Animals” is still their best with “Antichrist Superstar” being a close second.

check out this site… it REALLY goes into alot of the symbolism and connects alot of things to mansons work. whether it all was intentional or not is an entirely other thing…
nevertheless the guy who made the page must have ALOT of free time to think these things out
I used to be a big Manson fan, but the way that he’s shit all over anyone that’s every played with him made me lose any respect I may have once had. Even fuckin’ Pogo who was with him since the Spooky Kids days has been fucked over and cast aside.
The problem with Manson is that he’s never really been the songwriter - just the lyricist. Daisy and Gein wrote Portrait, Daisy and Twiggy wrote Antichrist, Zim Zum and Twiggy wrote Mechanical Animals, John 5 and Twiggy wrote Holy Wood, and John 5 and Skold wrote Golden Age. Manson finally did a good portion of the songwriting on Eat Me Drink Me and it’s by far the worst album of his career.
If Twiggy is actually collaborating on new material, then that might be a good thing. I’m interested to hear about why Skold left, though. Did he think he was Manson’s best bud and then get stabbed in the back like all the rest of them?
Twiggy is bad ass! I would probably follow his solo-career, if he cared to have one!

An interesting question. I’d like to know what he said to Al when they met. Sycophant isn’t just the name of the guy’s website…

not to be picky but zim didn’t really write mechanical animals… i think he only did that song on the howard stern soundtrack “suck for your solution”
That’s not what the album credits say.
Mechanical Animals was more along the lines of Zum, Twiggy, and Pogo. Think pogo was responsible for a lot of that sound. Antichrist was Twiggy and the nin guys, with some input from daisy. That’s even what the booklets/credits say.
That’s not what the album credits say.
It’s more complicated than most people realize. Zim Zum wrote a lot of the guitar on ‘Mechanical Animals’, but wasn’t skilled enough to play it. Twiggy played a lot of those guitar parts. And John 5 definitely played on the album as well(the guitar solo on “Fundamentally Loathsome”).
Also Madonna Wayne Gacy aka Pogo did do a lot on that album. Not so much songwriting, but filling out existing songs with great keyboard and programming work. On a side note concerning Pogo, has anyone been following the lawsuit between him and Manson. Apparently old members are coming out of the woodwork to give testimony on this. It looks like it’s going to be quite interesting…

where’d you hear about the old members coming around?

From what I last read about the lawsuit. They had a partnership when they started, yada yada… Manson’s now saying that he dissolved that partnership in 96. Seemed to remind me alot of the whole Jello v. Dead Kennedys thng. Manson’s a douche who treated his band members like shit, so he kinda deserves whatever he gets. Had a few decent albums, but the way he puts himself across - he’s an asshole.
