Not suprising. Manson is all image and no talent. At least Ozzy had songs people actually liked. This guy must keep doing sicker and sicker things as a means of selling records, because his music just plain sucks.

You said it! Ozzy is a horrible singer, but he is always backed up by a top-notch guitar player (Tony Iommi, Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, Zakk Wylde, etc.). IMHO, other shock artists like Alice Cooper, KISS and Twisted Sister are 70% this-will-freak-out-your-folks and 30% band.

Manson? His ratio is 90%/10%. There is absolutely NOTHING there but hype and gore.

FWIW, IIRC these days Alice Cooper is a golf-playing Republican.

And quite a few cover songs.
