This was great as a young pissed off teen. It's still great as a old pissed off 35 yr old

*_Is somebody listening this in 2024?_*

The dwarf in this video is my close friend Jonathan. May he rest in peace. He will be remembered forever, thanks to Marilyn Manson.

She's made of hair and bone and little teeth And things I cannot speak She comes on like a crippled plaything Spine is just a string I wrapped our love in all this foil Silver tight like spider legs I never wanted it to ever spoil But flies will lay their eggs Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly Sealed up with virgin stitch If it hurts, baby, please tell me Preserve the innocence I never wanted it to end like this But flies will lay their eggs Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet What I wanted, what I needed What I got for me What I wanted, what I needed What I got for me Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet Take your, take your, get up out of me I'm not proud with me I never, ever believed in me I am your tourniquet

Seriously so many pop artists now and before copying his style. If they only knew how heavily persecuted and the backlash he received from government group and conservative groups of the world during his high eras. He opened so many doors, creative opportunities for other artists now. Now nothing is taboo.

I personally know someone who has worked with him as a dancer. He said he was the most polite respectful person he's ever met. God bless M.M.

MTV in the 90's was filled with kickass music videos.

My favorite song from this era. So grimey, raw and powerful. There was nothing like this at the time in the 90s. So incredibly different but dynamic and had a catchy tune. I absolutely love this man despite everything. He will always be my biggest influence.

I'll always be a Marilyn Manson fan, his music helped me out of some dark shit

If you release an Album in 1996 which still hits so hard 24 years later and is unbeaten in it's anger and relevance and in so many other ways....you must be one of the greatest artists around, end of story.

Since I was young I listen to Marilyn Manson, today in my 40's when I feel disappointed by some situations, I come back here to enjoy this music which helps me a lot and allows me to vent... He became my friend with whom I can take out everything that bothers me, thank you MM for being here for me ❤

Of course! Everyone is listing to this legendary song by Manson in 2024. Why do people keep asking who’s listening? 😮 😂

Marilyn Manson is a very underrated musician. His lyrics are evocative and deep.

This will always have a special place in my heart

IS ANYONE LISTENING IN 2024?????

This song is indescribably good considering how underrated it is in the wider community.

His music (and Reznor's too) helps me so much during these rough times as a depressed kid with low self-esteem

late 90's early 2000's. best age in industrial metal genre

You can be well past your rock era, stop wearing all the band and alternative clothes, but you cannot get bored of Marilyn Manson.☺

Easily in the top 5 Manson songs of all time.

My fahter hanged himself in the garage when i was 12 years old. It haunts me my entire life. But this album helped me alot to deal with my feelings....

The suffering of emotional abuse by those who supposedly love us, so well expressed in this song. Deep..

I bought this single after "Mechanical Animals". My relatives never understood why I listened to him but I always admired Marilyn Manson's creativity, vision and cult of free expressionism.

No matter how old i am.... this song will never get old ❤ please come back brian cause we miss this marilyn 😢

I love Brian. When I was younger (16 years old) I loved you. Today, I'm 36 years old I still loving you. You'll be the most important rock singer in my life. I'm mother of teenager, his name is Brian in honor to you. I LOVE YOU

satan says marilyn manson music videos are giving him nightmares

Who still rocking this in 2024 🤘

Manson said he came up with the lyrics and visuals in a dream he had.

For those that don't know, that whispering sound you hear right in the beginning, before the song starts, If you play it in reverse it's Marilyn Mason saying "This is my lowest point of vulnerability."

Was anyone else afraid of Marilyn Manson as child but appreciated him later on in life?

I was today years old when I found out the whispering at the beginning, played backwards says "This is my lowest point of vulnerability"

I believe more than anything this song speaks of love and sacfrafice. I think the song depicts two people, not any two definable individuals but rather the idea of two people in love. whether that be mother and father, child and parent or siblings. Just the simple idea of love between two people. The song symbolises the pain of loving someone. We sacrafice so much of ourselves for the people we love. We give them our time, our thoughts and our soul. But like countless relationships we can describe, we always end up being hurt by these people we love so much, the people we give up so much for. I think this is what he means by tourniquet. We all act as tourniquets for somebody. We all give meaning to other peoples lives, a fullfillment, a reason to live. But in doing so we allow ourselves to become a victim to these people. " Make your victim my head " Make your problems mine, cry on my shoulder and shed your tears so that I may wipe them away. I will be their for you, I will be your tourniquet in whatever fashion you need it. In the song he describes a person. A delicate unfinished person, who in all their flaws and simplicity, bring so much complication and pain to our lives. We love them and care for them in every way possible and yet despite our sacrafices and struggles they still do not understand what we have given up for them, they do not " belive in [us] " And even before our eyes, despite all we have done for them, we can see their pain, and sorrow. We can see them " spoil" But that is the way of life. No matter what we do and how much we try we cannot decide for the people we love. They will always live their own lives as they see fit. We can guide them but " flies will lay their eggs. "

I never tire of listening to his music

That main riff on the guitar is everything.

Still just as good as it was when it first came out. Who's still supporting Manson in 2021? Manson, you're music saved my life and it will never go unnoticed. 🤘🏼

Ok I'm going to rant now. So apparently it's "illegal" to wear a Marilyn Manson shirt to a public school. The history teacher from my school came up to me one day and said that I cant wear my Marilyn Manson shirt to school because another school went to the supreme court about it and the case passed. The teacher said that Marilyn Manson promoted drugs but I see teens at school wearing Bob Marley shirts all the damn time! Like WTF! Has anyone else had this problem before or is it just me?

De Marilyn Manson pueden decir muchas cosas, pero hay que reconocer que la estética de la mayoría de sus videos es espectacular.

Did you know this? When you reverse this and go to the beginning you can hear him whisper "this is my lowest point of vulnerability" (he wrote about this on his autobiograhpy)

his voice itself is a kink and I love it

whenever i watch his videos, you physically could not force me to look away from the screen. i don't know what it is.. his videos just pull me in.

I JUST SAW HIM LIVE, 2024, FIRST CONCERT. THIS SONG LIVE, TODAY WAS IMPRESSIVE TO HEAR AND WATCH. +25 YEARS LISTENING TO HIM AND THIS SONG IS THE SONG THAT MADE ME FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM!!

nothing comes close to this music and this video is an indescribable nightmare is gorgeous

When I was young(er) I didn't totally get this, but after years of maturation, this is a legendary *classic*. Truly awesome, philosophical and artistic.

Lyrically, one of his best works. Beautifully written.

This song always brings me back to those dark rooms full of alcohol and smoke, listening to metal and separating from the world around.

At some point someone had to say, "You know what this is missing? A freaking horse."

I think 90s Manson was the best Manson. The stuff that he comes out with now, I just can't feel.

One of the greatest albums ever made

I was laying on the floor of a shitty apartment. There was nothing but trash and maggots along the sliding glass door. I was truly suicidal. I prayed to God for a miracle. The TV started playing this song. I decided to live. I'm not Mr. Manson and I'm not involved in his fan base a lot anymore. But I will never forget this miracle. It's the only one I ever needed. This one song. And to deny it was to break a sacred contract made under false pretenses by God himself. So I took my grief to Lucifer. This is his course correction, not mine. I denied the tourniquet this time because I'm through being healed traditionally or otherwise. I just gave up, give in, and when I can I am myself again. Too strong so I am still as I can be. I choose to be Nothing so This band's legacy can be everything. I'd rather die anonymously if that's what it takes for this man and his work to be inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame. He deserves the world. Because he saved mine, at the behest of the Christian God. My Goddess Ma'at said it's time for retribution. I am not sick. You all are. I am well. You all aren't. I am working on healing ya'll. Ya'll are on vacation at MY behest. That was Ma'at at the end, not me. So now I can reveal that my temple was perfectly preserved for my true purpose. To ensure this band is never EVER EVER forgotten EVER again. Or attacked. Or law suited. Or anything. He personally saved my life by the frequency of his pain he transmits when he sings. I don't care who knows that. It's a mutation I had to develop because I am totally and permanently disabled and I can't convince the SSA that thats true so I can get my life back together. They let me home from the Meadows recently after telling me it was the last time they could do that for me. Being in a state of double jeopardy is funny, but it's time to heal. Thank you for allowing your music to be available for free. If you want a new manager, assistant, or anything, please let me know. I'm broken as fuck but I will reknit myself whole if that's what it takes to re-envigorate your career. You're too important to us broken things. I wish life were fair so I could send you and her a wedding gift. or we could hang out and you two could bring special old fabrics you love and i can make you both pillows to go home with. or i could teach you how to sew like i do. i need to stop now because i'm embarassed for writing this much here. But it is what it is? Only thing constant in life is change, after all. I hope you're well. I hope your team is too. And I super hope that when you meet me you can help me with several horrifying lawsuits that I cant handle. I wont go into details here. I am trying to be respectful and not too triggering. My love for you, your career, and your fellow musicians is so high it would be impossible to ruin my good opinion of Mr. Manson. I hope when you have children that they love you as much as I have since I handed you that note at the age of 15. We couldn't even hug. But feeling your eyes meet mine healed me in ways I never imagined. I wouldn't have touched you at that point for everything in the world because I was in full frozen mode. Your people ushering me out like that only made it worse. But until that moment, it was Disney and Dr. Seuss and everything I could have ever wanted. I am so grateful for my birthday gift, Mr. Manson. Thank you for arranging it to happen with your team. Winning the Radio Revolution wasn't easy but I did what I could. Your lessons are what keep me going when all else fails. The tattoo I put on my chest I feel guilty for. I often wonder what your opinion of it is. Would you flay it off of my chest if you didn't know who I was? Sometimes I don't know who I am. I am triggered constantly in my mind by things I'd rather forget. But every bit of the english language triggers me. Every key I type, note I sing, and breath I take is an agony for me. Even watching you doesn't help. I've been like this since Mom and Dad decided to booze and weed themselves into me. My father looked a lot like Elvis. My mother was a rip off artist extreme. She hated me because she thought I belonged to Elvis and not my Dad. My Dad had to suffer through my mother's insanity all the time. I'd kill myself before being disloyal or hurtful. That's why I smoke so much. I self correct by smoking cigarettes. Then I turn my tragedy into magic by smoking weed and listening. I'm constantly in a state of meditation, not dissociation. And I have hidden this long because when Jesus came down here from where I came from ya'll ruined his good name and fucked up every word he gave the humans of that time. I think I am evolving my own DNA. Because I was ignored so much. When I get attention I grok life again. So when I need it the most, I always come back here. To this song. Thank you for every single breath I take. Even if it sucks, if I can taste the breath then I can look down at my chest and then look up at the ceiling and keep my chin up like Beautiful Creatures taught me. Thank you for them too. If DJ hadn't of bumped me with that guitar, I'd have probably died on the grass outside the Norva. I was willing my God (The All Father and All Mother are now my guardians) to apparate me away from that awful place. I keep myself on the edge of consciousness all the time. I wonder often what your life is like. But I'd never presume to write you another letter. I'm too stupid in my own rage to ever do that unless it's a comment on youtube. Hypocrites, aren't we all?

This is a man who isn’t afraid to do what he wants, THAT is why he is attractive to so many, including me and I’m only 14. Been a fan since 8 in a Christian family!

22 Years later.. and it looks like it was just released.... timeless classic both in the music itself and this video... honestly.. there are few videos that age well.. this is near perfection... it has been creepy for as long as it has been out.. MANSON at his best

This song helped me get over the breakup with my wife and thanks to it we are raising our son together again.

Who directed this video? If they are not making horror movies now it is a colossal waste of talent.

"Tourniquet" [Verse 1] She's made of hair and bone and little teeth And things I cannot speak She comes on like a crippled plaything Spine is just a string I wrapped our love in all this foil Silver tight like spider legs I never wanted it to ever spoil But flies will lay their eggs [Chorus] Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet [Verse 2] Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly Sealed up with virgin stitch If it hurts, baby, please tell me Preserve the innocence I never wanted it to end like this But flies will lay their eggs [Chorus] Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet [Bridge] What I wanted, what I needed What I got for me What I wanted, what I needed What I got for me [Chorus] Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet Take your, take your, get up out of me I'm not proud with me I never, ever believed in me I am your tourniquet Produced by Marilyn Manson, Trent Reznor & Dave Ogilvie Written by Marilyn Manson, Daisy Berkowitz & Jeordie White album "Antichrist Superstar" (1996)

I’m 15 years old, and I love Marilyn Manson. This music is 100x better than what plays on the mainstream today.

Rewatching every music video after the new single dropped lol

it's just a phase. 11 years later...

Best vocal performance, rage and hopelessness

My Grandma bought me this album when I was 12, then my dad found it and burned it. 😂😂

Ill never forget after Columbine when the Evil Media went after Marilyn for his part in "inciting violence with his lyrics" what he would say to the victims families? He says and i quote. " I would not say anything, i would listen."

one of the best music videos ever made.

To me Manson's videos are horror masterpieçes

This by far, has to be my favorite Manson video, i love everything that is expressed and the raw emotions that are exposed.

No sé qué tiene esta canción que me atrapa de principio a fin. Está en la playlist de mi vida hace más de 25 años, gracias Manson por esta joyita 🖤🇨🇱

He never hurt nobody. He's a good man.

I am a Japanese fan. In the contemporary Japanese music scene, such songs and music videos tend to be hated and sad. I am personally thinking that "a crazy idiot" as a compliment like Marilyn Manson is real music and art. And I think his way of life is very brave. I love Marilyn Manson ♡ and All the people who love Marilyn Manson. ♡

I remember when Marilyn started getting popular in the mainstream. They used to talk about him as if he was the devil. I remember you'd get white, middle class parents on those cheap day time talk shows saying their children wouldn't go near his music, as if they were talking about their children buying heroine or some other drug! Lol... Madness!

Manson's music has always been an experience, not just music. It's accompanied by visuals that stay with you long after you see them, and layered with meaning that you can unravel over time, making it interesting for more than just the few minutes of the song.

[Intro: Reversed] This is my lowest point of vulnerability This is my lowest point of vulnerability [Verse 1] She's made of hair and bone and little teeth Things that cannot speak She comes on like a crippled plaything Spine is just a string I wrapped our love in all this foil Silver tight like spider legs I never wanted it to ever spoil But flies will lay their eggs [Chorus] Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet [Verse 2] Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly Sealed up with virgin stitch If it hurts baby, please tell me Preserve the innocence I never wanted it to end like this But flies will lay their eggs [Chorus] Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet [Bridge] What I wanted, what I needed What I got for me What I wanted, what I needed What I got for me [Chorus] Take your hatred out on me Make your victim my head You never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet Take your, take your, get up out of me I'm not proud with me I never, ever believed in me I am your tourniquet

The way he sings this song just..drives me wild.

i think something worth mentioning is the fact that before manson this type of aesthetic really didn't exist - it was so distinctly him. Now you see this influence in games, movies, and other artists all day long. This shit was groundbreaking in many respects and blew our minds back in the 90s and clearly inspired so many people. fucking icon.

I saw him live in Stockholm a bunch of years ago. He was of course high and drunk, the sound was distorted and i he was more screaming than singing. Nothing of the later material was that enjoyable through the distorted sound and the screaming, but i swear that they performed the best version of this song I've ever heard, the shivers all through the whole song was unreal.

I believe he's massively misunderstood. He exercised his demons through his expression in art and music, therefore he's got no violent inclinations left in the real world. Normal, boring people just can't grasp the separation between art and real world. They just don't get it.

A little over a year ago in social studies class I had to do a powerpoint presentation about myself. I had a slide on the things I like and when I talked about music I like, I put a link to this. My teacher let me play it. I did my presentation right after someone who said they hated rock and metal music. It was beautiful.

*_Decade old and still listening_* _Where my 2020 people at!?_ Happy New Years

Despite his recent accusations I'm a fan of this era of Manson

Manson's music has gotten me through SO MUCH in life. I won't stop listening to the old favorites that saved me. And no, this is not me picking sides.

Such an awesome tune

The real question is, who listens to this with the same amazement that they did in 96'? Greatest album in his catalog. Hands down.

It's sometimes hard to say if he's crazy, genius or crazy genius but I know one thing: You need to be crazy or genius yourself to understand this crazy genius

fun fact: the whispering in the beginning of this song is actually manson saying "this is my most vulnerable moment" played backwards

These old Manson videos are badass. His newer stuff not so much.

still rocking this in 2023, and still better than anything out there now, his darkness helped me through alot in life!!

I've recently started hyperfixating on Manson because of my boyfriends mom again (I was a fan growing up anyways but yk) and I don't regret a single moment of this hyperfixation. I'm already 7 albums in and honestly I've already cried to this song. I feel like after everything going on, he's honestly misunderstood and gets a lot of bad raps due to the shit he talks about in his music but always remember this, sometimes it's better to separate the art from the artist. So respect to this man for saving so many of us in our darkest times.

His sexiness makes me melt

Marylin Manson will always be a king in my eyes. ❤

It doesn't matter the year,there is ALWAYS going to be someone listening to this song. His lyrics and emotion always gets us. His music is timeless.💯💖

to this day I still find "tourniquet" it's one of the darkest videos/songs/concept I've witnessed. the whole song is like pure sorrow and I find the video horribly beautiful (if it makes any sense what I'm.saying).

U cannot compare todays shit to this.. This is astounding.

I love these older music videos by Manson. They've got such a consistent tone with the albums they represent.

I haven’t really been a marilyn manson fan but i can say that this song hits hard…

This song always hits me so hard.. the lyrics and everything it's a masterpiece.

When Marilyn Manson has better legs than you.

When your toxic trait is enabling..... Think about it. I'm 40 years old and just now could interpret this for my personal situation.

This is literally one of my favorite videos of his, I adore it. I think it's one of the most creative and visually intense he's done.

back when music videos were actually entertaining

still loving it 2018

God I literally have a crush on this song it makes my brain happy

Still a better love story than Twilight.....
