Sold out and head ache

This band blew my mind back in the day.  I can still remember them coming out like yesterday.  It was all fuck the world cause were gonna dominate it, now, its like we are "artisist" and as artist we grow.  Fuck that I listened to the self- titled album and Iowa album over and over again back in the day, hell I heard the secret song "eeyore" only because I fell asleep listening to the album, heard people talking and thought a party was happening.

Songs like "wait and bleed", "eyeless", " get this" "people = shit", " disasterpiece" blew, just blew my fucking mind.  Than the band took a break, some did solo projects, I ll admit "Stone Sour"s first album rocked with its fucking eerie ass vibe it gave me.

Then they released " Vol:3 the Subliminal Verses", took me a step back at first, but I was like "eh It's doable".  "Duality" and "Before I Forget' got plenty of play time on the radio and MtV.  I had my thoughts but okay I except it for what it was.  " Virus of Life" and "Pulse of the Maggots" atleast had that slipknot edge.  They won a Grammy, blah blah blah, and released another dvd.  Watching Clowns interview had me cracking the fuck up he said something like (while holding grammy award)  this is what I strive for,  I tell kids if you want it, you got to work hard.   Fuck that shit.  Two years ago your telling me be proud your different, fuck what the mainstream tells you.  He goes on.

Finally Im brought to " All hope is gone"  Mindfucked.  "psychosocial" brings the slipknot vibe back, but than you here "dead memories" and " snuff"  and Im like WTF?!!!  Slipknot writes love songs now?  Back when the album came out Slipknot guitarist Jim Root and Mick Thompson did an interview for a guitar mag.  In it Jim goes into about not knowing who he is writing songs for stone sour a more pop modern rock radio band, or slipknot, fuck it all fuck this world kinda shit.  well Jim....I can admit I am just as confused.

So n ending, enjoy making your "art", continue selling your fucking "gimmick" to the kids, winning grammys, being played on the radio, feeding your spencers "artist of the month" bullshit cause I aint buying it.  And that is a Fact Jack.

Before I go Mr. Corey Taylor or anyone else in Slipknot wanna call bullshit, I challenge you to come on here and prove me wrong, hell maybe we can meet up and chat so you can tell your side of things.

This album possibly changed my life for the Worst?

Marilyn Mansons Antichrist superstar changed my life in many ways, but before I get to that, lets go over how I aqcuired this masterpiece of the 90s.

I grew up in the south in trailer parks most my life.  My mother was a lifetime cashier and my step-dad always worked low paying jobs.  Well one day in the early 2000s my mother became "manager" of a run- down trailer park off Nations Ford Rd. in North Mecklenburg Count, Charlotte, N.C.   Part of her daily duties was to take rent as well as clean out recently vacated trailers.  Most of them were rented by 8 mexicans plus, straight cash no peaky ing-less, anyways, I was helping my mom clean one out one summer afternoon, when I I entered the one room I sen a box of cassette tapes, ( how bout that here we were in the 2000s and some fuck had cassettes), I could care less,  anyways being the curious young fucker I was, I got curious and went through it.  JACK-POT!!!  Ifound a cassette with the Antichrist Superstar name on it as well as Mansons,  sweeet is all that ran into my head,  I stuffed it in my pocket and finished helping.

Now why was I so excited to have found this, well 1.  I grew up dirt poor, but that is neither here or now so lets move on for now.  2.  I was always told I could not listen to Manson due to his "image" and message.  My mother was a "part-time" catholic who pretended more to care if anything. 

Well somehow along the way I manged to have a cassette player walkman,  turmed it on, and was blown away from the start.

Now if my memory suits me, the first track is " Fuckers Anthem", OH MY FUCKING GOD too hear that at 13, specially, "Everybody's someone elses n*gger, I know you are so am I, i wasn't born with enough middle fingers"... was I blown away.  Now at that time Manson was set to release " HOLYWOOD" I didnt know at the time, could give a fuck less, but this album, " the Beautiful People", "Tourniquet" just blew me away.  Who in the late 90s/.early 2000s wasnt chanting, "the beautiful people, the beautiful people..."   At the time this album had to be so influential on the music scene as a whole, "shock-rock" and "nu-metal" too be more specific.

After listening to this album for hours over and over and over and over again, the walkman finally ate it up.  I wanted more though.  Evil, sick, scare your fucking parents music is all I wanted.  My mom never found out about it nonetheless, but my neeed for more never ended.  Being poor I went through some extreme shit to get music, well nothing too crazy, but none the less!


Till next time, FUCK YA LATER,
C.O.
