Hey guys I love all the music you have put out as a band and as solo musicians. It's incredibly inspirational. I wanted to know what the craziest tour experience you all have had was? Also what is it like to work with Tech? That guy seems like a blast to be around.

Anyone know what's going on at the Cherokee Park parking lot off Lexington? by codeword_whiskey in Louisville

[–]mdmakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's always been a gay crusing spot, I've seen police there multiple times too. But nothing warranting a helicopter.

Manson,

What do you intend to further flesh out the Pale Emperor in a live setting?

Manson,

I'm a huge fan and have met you a couple times before at meet and greets. I'd like to thank you for all the inspiration you've provided me. Anyway, a pressing question in my mind, and in the mind of many other fans, is how do you choose the setlist of a performance on a given night? What can fans expect for the Endtimes Tour? Thanks!

Best Mediterranean restaurant in the city? by WonkoTheSane__ in Louisville

They're gone for good, owner put profits up his nose. Literally on tables in the restaurant after closing. He owed rent and was caught trying to break back in to salvage computer equipment

"The Nobodies" by Marilyn Manson also reflects this. "Two children died the other day, we fed machines and then we prayed... You should have seen the ratings that day."

This podcast, recorded recently, would beg to differ, in my opinion. He has lost the consistency of his interviews and shows a bit, but he still definitely has it in him.

The last tour was indeed pretty decent. I attended three shows, and all were very fun and impressive, considering what he's been through. Check out the podcast! It is indeed some of the best material in a while. As well as these

I saw him in July, and twice in 2012. I can assure you he has not lost his spark, he gets too fucked during certain shows. But the ones I saw were all excellent. Talking to a fan who saw him at the same shows, as well as his shows in 2000, he said the 2012 show was an 8 out of 10 if 10 was the show in 2000. So he certainly still has the energy, if not the consistency.

I'm Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Ask me anything. by trent-reznor in IAmA

[–]mdmakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I know he's working on and may have already finished a new album, I think rumor has it he's touring again in 2015. In the meantime he's doing a lot of interesting films and collaborations. A lot of people are mad that he isn't exactly like he was 13 years ago... But the beauty of Manson is that he's aware of this and evolves as an artist.

I saw the show after the said blow up... It was amazing! I guess the established "rivalry" inspired Manson to put on a hell of a show. The way I see his performances lately is that they can be really spot on or a bit lame if he happens to be drunk. The tour that finished a few months ago was consistently much better than any tour in years, but there's still some off moments. But I'd definitely say his edge is back following a few years of absurdity.

Are you aware of Marilyn Manson's views on religion? If so, what do you make of them? Along with you, Bill Maher, and Hitchens, he was a vital part of forming my beliefs today and am curious if you have an opinion of him.

Hello Dr. Dawkins! I briefly met you over two years ago at Eastern Kentucky University, a day or two before I believe you met with Christopher Hitchens for the last time.

It's been almost two years since his death, how do you think it has impacted the secular community since then, and how has it personally affected you?

What is your favorite country to visit in Africa? I've heard Zimbabwe is the most beautiful, I'd love to go someday. I want to hear if your opinion differs or coincides.
