Will he ever fully unfuck his shit?
Like FULLY unfuck it?
I'm listening to the Smells like Children compilation right now and while it's widely regarded as one of his worst early works, it's still fucking impressive compared to the pale emperor.

He relied too hard on his shock value. When people stopped giving a shit about that he was dead
I don't see why not... maybe he could go to therapy, work out the issues with his family, make peace with those that call him a devil worshiper, buy some real-estate and send his kids to college/retire if he has kids
all it takes is a public meltdown / rehab check-in and about 6 months and your career gets an adrenaline shot

You can't deny that his early records sound great regardless of shock value. So clearly he at least needs to surround himself with good guitarists.

No, Trent, that doesn't count as unfucking your shit, from an artistic standpoint it's actually a sign of decay.
>>71988189
I mean sure, if you treat artists as a piggy bank to be smashed open and collect the cash
>>71988210
That's a funny thing to read coming from a giant sellout like yourself, Trent.
>>71988210
sounds like a good concept for an album Manson could make
>>71988224
I'm not a sellout, nothing wrong with making money...
>>71988230
Sounds literally painful
>>71988230
yeah, he vaguely touched upon that theme in Mechanical Animals but now that he's got the washed-up rockstar status he can add extra insight and cynicism to it.
>>71988257
No but there is something wrong about shaving your mustache and cutting off your hair, and forgetting how to make rock music (or synthpop for that matter) all for the sake of money.

Not really, you can always do it as a hobby.
