Is Marilyn Manson an intelligent person, far more so than many people believe? Yes. But is he a genius? Not even close.

^Not musically anyway. Back in the day he was a genius at scaremongering, particularly to the parents of wee kiddies, now he's a little quiet. His music is alright, the nu-metal style band is nothing fancy but his vocals are pretty good.

And yeah I hear he is quite the intelligent one. Talks at universities and the likes of.

he seems kinda smart on the bowling for columbine documentary. dont like his music though. not a genius.

He was absolutely right on Bowling for Columbine. Him and Matt Stone from South Park. Very smart people.

He wrote a couple of articles for Rolling Stone...Hes actualy a pretty good writer, and he is certainly much smarter than he looks.

His music however is, meh.

Manson has a lot of bad press. He's original, some of songs are good. I myself must admit that I went through the Manson Phase. My fave' song of his, if it was a cover or not I don't know, was New S***, and then the remixed version was best, on his single album along with `Personal Jesus`.

Nope never liked marilyn manson never will, but you cant hold it against him for what he believes in...

Yes he is definitly a smarter person than he appears. I have to give him credit in the bowling for columbine documentary because he did state some pretty valid points on the matter.

yea, he's smart but, his music blows

1. “The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept. They'd rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they're supposed to like, what they're supposed to buy, and what they're supposed to laugh at.”

2. “You should have to pass an IQ test before you breed. You have to take a driving test to operate vehicles and an SAT test to get into college. So why dont you have to take some sort of test before you give birth to children? When I am President, thats the first rule I will institute.”

3. “what happens someday if more people own my record than the bible? that will make me god because a lot more people believe in me than him? Because itsjust about popularity. ther are plenty of people in the world how have never heard of jesus, while America takes him for granted. The key is to change what is popular. that's why rather than submit to to the mainstream, you have to become it _ then over come it”

4. “Marilyn Monroe wasn't even her real name, Charles Manson isn't his real name, and now, I'm taking that to be my real name. But what's real? You can't find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.”

5. “It's the whole Nietzche philosophy of you are your own God. That's why I debase myself in the concerts and tell people to spit on me. I'm saying to them 'You are no different from me'.”

6. “i talked to Snoop doggy dogg today. well I'm not sure if you could realy call it talked because I could hardly understand what he was saying. But i think he was trying to communicate was that he wanted to work with me in some sort of capacity and something involving marijuana.”

7. “And that's the type of thing I'm trying to speak out against the most, religion controlling what we see and what we do in our personal lives, even if you're not a part of that religion. Antichrist Superstar[the album] is a challenge really, to traditional morality and it's...to make people question that and make people think about different perspectives.”
