"Marylin Manson's shock schlock loses its edge
by polly coufos
TWO-for-one ticket deals are never a good sign. Even with such a generous offer Challenge Stadium was half full and the crowd was treated to a performance from hulking shock-rocker Marilyn Manson and his four-piece band that sat somewhere between half-arsed and half-hearted.
There were no concerned citizens picketing outside the venue, and inside if you didn't know the words to the 13 songs, nothing was going to be gleaned from Manson's growling and shrieking. In fact the whole thing felt a bit like Footloose set in Freaktown.
When Manson emerged from the dry ice he was wearing a jacket that had "Hate etc." painted across the back, suggesting he's over being seen as the poster boy for all of society's ills. He's jaded, and heartbroken about the break-up of his relationship with actress Evan Rachel Wood (if the lyrics of his latest album The High End of Low are an indication) but most of all he and his schtick are very, very tired.
In 2009, a 40-year-old man donning a SS officer's cap to sing an S&M song of seduction called Pretty Like a Swastika is unlikely to shock. It sure is tasteless though, and a touch pitiful to see a middle-aged man go to these lengths to court outrage. It was impressive when his blade-knife-shaped microphone glistened after being hit by the spotlight but when he turned to profile it looked like he was singing into a gardening trowel.
Much of it was pretty easy to dig though. The best songs (Disposable Teens, The Dope Show and The Beautiful People) still have a driving charm and some choice covers (Sweet Dreams, Rock N Roll Nigger and a snatch of The Beatles' Baby You're a Rich Man at the beginning of the encore) slotted in nicely.
It's the same set he's been touring for several months now but there was no flow and no rhythm. That can't be all blamed on a quiet Monday night audience."
well manson took to his myspace blog for the standard male asshole response and:
" Paula Coufos tried to fuck me
Current mood: chipper
Category: Friends And when I said no she wrote an embarrassing review in the Australian. I hope no one harms her in any creative, violent way. She isn't really smart and her writing is worse than her looks."
THE TRUTH: x-press magazine
"POLLY WANNA CRACK?
It seems that Marilyn Manson has put his foot in his mouth after trying to discredit a review of his recent Perth concert, published in The Australian.
Manson stated on his MySpace blog that ‘Paula Coufos tried to fuck me. And when I said no she wrote an embarrassing review in the Australian. I hope no one harms her in any creative, violent way. She isn't really smart and her writing is worse than her looks.’
Unfortunately for Manson, the reviewer responsible for the piece was renowned Australian music journalist ‘Polly’ Coufos, who is, in fact, a man – Polly being his childhood nickname.
Had this review have actually been written by a woman, as Manson wrongly assumed it was, then the fabricated insinuation that the review was revenge for a rejected sexual advance would have come down to a mere matter of ‘his word versus hers’ – a horrible situation for any woman to be in.
Thankfully, with Coufos being very much certifiably male, the only damage done has been to Manson’s own credibility.
Instant karma, as it were."
