Talk:Mechanical Animals

message: With images, lyrics, and videos that shock the uneducated, inciting protest - that's controversy.
In Japan, sales of the aforementioned record were refused, not because of Omega's androgynous appearence, but because there were six fingers on his left hand, as opposed to five. Five and one. 15.
It looks to be only for fingers.  If your mind tells you there are two sets of two fingers linked together, that would make six.  But for the sake of the image, there are only four fingers.

replies: text: Its because in Japan the number 4 (as the number of fingers in his hand)is seen as the "number of death", because 4 and death is for them spelled the same(or almost the same)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hellspriest (talk • contribs) 05:05, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Yes, Marilyn Manson's Mechanical Animals (1998) was inspired by two glam rock figureheads: his long-time hero David Bowie  and, by a lesser degree, T. Rex. In it's heyday (the 1970s), glam rock was almost the polar opposite to stuff that was mainstream at the time, such as prog rock and heavy rock (you know, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, etc). It was almost the "alternative rock" of it's time.
Glam metal aka "cock rock", though, is quite another matter. "Cock rock" was formed by L.A. scenesters who took the New Wave of British Heavy Metal's blueprint and basically turned it into party music. Although glam rock and glam metal share a fascination with glitter and visual gender bending, they come come very different places in music. Besides, most of Manson's influences (say, Slayer, Skinny Puppy, Jane's Addiction) come from the extreme metal/industrial music/alternative rock spectrum, which in turn are generally antagonistic towards glam metal.
Ok, what am I trying to say with all of this? That I'd be careful to include Marilyn Manson in the same musical style as Mötley Crüe. Historically and musically speaking, they're worlds apart... Musicaindustrial (talk) 17:55, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Glam metal? 

message: The quoting of the long passage of yellow-text ("In the end I became them and I led them/ After all none of us really qualified as humans/ We were hardworn, atomatic and as hollow as the 'o' in God/ I reattatched my emtions cellular and narcotic/ From the top of Holywood it looked like space/ Millions of capsules and Mechanical Animals/ A city filled with dead stars and a girl I called Comawhite/ This is my Omēga.") contains many spelling mistakes. I cannot actually make out most of it on my copy (too small and hard to make out)- but can anybody confirm that it's actually written like this, or if somebody has just rushed their typing whilst submitting it?
