I've always loved the idiotic opinion that because a band sells records and increases their fan base that they are somehow wrong in doing so as if any band would not want to be successful and have a strong fan base that buys their albums. Like all bands should stay underground and unknown simply because YOU want them to. You can't make a living playing in front of 3 people in dive bars for the rest of your life. People should be happy that the bands that they love are getting more recognition and having more people listen to them and spreading the word about this band that you love instead of looking at it as a negative thing.

One thing I do admire greatly about Dani is that he's one of those very few lyricists who in songs whether they are extensive or short, he creates sophisticated lyrics that are almost impossible to memorize no matter how many times you listen to it; for example the Cruelty and The Beast album; a masterpiece album with very difficult to memorize its entire lyrics. About the COF shirts there are some shirts I wanted to have but for some reason they're either not around anymore or they're very hard to acquire. Jesus is a Cunt shirt is one of those that I've been wishing to get for so long but are very difficult to find where I'm from... damn I want one so bad.

Can anyone tell me what became of the Cruelty and the Beast remaster? It was talked about in several interviews and then nothing. I recall reading something to the effect that the keyboards were recorded directly to the master and therefore there weren't actually tracks to re-master so to speak. I hope that it wasn't a conflict between Lecter and crew. It would be awesome if he re-recorded it for the cause.

in hindsight, marilyn manson was not as strong or self accountably moral as he portrayed himself. ever since leaving interscope records its been a sharp downfall. the artistry, the lyrics, his ideas , his lack of an enlightening self progressive message have all died. being in hollywood and wanting to be an actor hanging around that sort has weakened and killed his former brilliant, insightful and danger to status quo mind. he is now all he used to fight. i believe he broke all the sins in the antichrist superstar booklet. i care less about him betraying me as a fan, but i care more that he betrayed himself. his final lesson he taught to me is to never give yourself over to idolize anyone for that power you see in them was within you all along.
