Heh.). > Who could ever forget Poison, Ratt, Warrent or any of the rest of the "hair and glitter" bands of the 80's Actually, Marilyn Manson would'nt be so ridiculous if he was'nt such a sponge. I know that originality in Rock n Roll is hard to come these days, if not downright impossible. Everybody rips off everybody in one way or another, but geez, most bands have the ability to mask their influences with a tinge of their own originality. I gotta hand it to Manson, if yer gonna steal, steal from the best. Third rate androgony straight from Bowie's Ziggy Stardust days, the macabre theatrics of Alice Cooper, the satanic day-glo & whiteface of King Diamond, the anti-establishment, better than thou, up yours attitude of Johnny Rotten, and the same old anti-religious ramblings of who knows how many fat assed pompous rockers. Manson knows what sells, so in that respect he should get all the credit in the world. Its amazing how everything gets retreaded, and how each generation claims it as their own and to be original. "15 minute of fame" is what Warhol said, and he was'nt lying.
