But the God of the people I hated... | Tony, you might remember that you recommended spending more time with Antichrist Superstar in the Marilyn Manson thread on OB.
As it turns out, my sister's friend bought her Antichrist Superstar, Portrait of an American Family and Smells Like Children for her birthday. So, I've had even more of an opportunity to immerse myself in the earlier stuff.
I have to say...sure enough, I'm definitely warming to Antichrist Superstar. I've mentioned it before (and I know you've had a similar experience), but it's so interesting that I can pretty much dislike a Manson album at first and then end up being hopelessly addicted. If I give myself plenty of air-time, I usually end up finding something to like. My two favourite tracks on this album so far would have to be Angel With the Scabbed Wings and Antichrist Superstar. I also have a video of the former being performed live and wow...very impressive.
While I'm on this subject, I should mention that I bought the Guns, God & Government DVD a little while ago. It had some good elements, but I got really frustrated with some of the weird editing (the cutting between different performances of the same song, resulting in sudden, inexplicable costume changes lol). That annoyed me. Bleh.
But there were some worthwhile moments. I loved that bit with M.W. Gacy and the Japanese girls in the hotel room...my sister and I were having a good laugh at that. ~_^
So now, I have to go out there and buy the other DVDs. Is there anything I should look for first? I welcome your recommendations.
In other news, I'm hoping to finally get my Nintendo DS this week. Don't you love shipping delays? In addition to that, I should also be entering Guild Wars this week, which will be great. I am really looking forward to playing the game with fellow community members - I already know at least half a dozen of you who play it, which is fantastic. It should be lots of fun.
I don't know what else to say at the moment. Perhaps I should leave this open for questions?
