It seems to be on a regular basis young posters around here will start a routine topic inquireing as to what Bowie thinks about the increasingly irrelevant Marilyn Manson, considering the later's well known idolization of him. And though no one can find a direct quote from Bowie on Manson, we all seem to end up with the impression he doesn't much care for Manson's act. So, this bit of news turns things upside down abit.

In a short interview with Rolling Stone, Manson is asked, "What's the last great rock show you saw?" He replies he just saw Bowie perform for the first time a few months ago and "I was really afraid, because he asked to meet me." That's certainly a suprise. Has anyone else heard more about this? All Manson goes on to say about the encounter is that "he made a snappy comment about my outfit, and I felt like a little schoolboy."

Before the 700 word interview is out Manson kisses bowie's ass again and says he should be made King. Nothing new there.

Why bother with witty phrases, you know this is a link.

these may help..

Marilyn Manson made a couple music videos in the mid 90's which influenced DB to use Gloria Sigismondi(sp?) for the first 2 music videos from Earthling.

Doesn't Bowie look really scared in the second picture?

Those pictures are from slightly different angles... I just get the feeling that it isn't actually Bowie in them, but an imitation of him made of wax...

Hello humans can you feel me thinking

Heh. I used to like Marilyn Manson. But he doesn't have the same appeal anymore.

I guess I grew up or something,

All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling.

Is that Liv Tyler or Manson's girlfriend?

Definitely not Liv Tyler's lips !!!!

I posted something about Marilyn and David doing a duet (doesn't it sound cosy?) a little while ago.
