When the Columbine shootings happened, people were quick to point the finger to Marilyn Manson because one of the shooters just happened to own a Marilyn Manson CD. But when Marilyn Manson was interviewed on prime TV and was asked what he would have said to the two shooters if he had a chance to talk to them, his reply made the School and the parents involved eating crow in shame.
"I wouldn't have said anything, I would have LISTENED, those kids had something they wanted to say but nobody paid them any attention!"
So fucking true
Yup
Best quote ever..I loved him growing up ..still do
They were more into KMFDM, who also disavowed those school shooters. Music is always about life, even in funeral dirges if one thinks in that way.:)
Come on, if you're going to quote him atleast get it right. He said “I wouldn’t say anything. I’d listen to them, which nobody else did.”
Rob Zombie defending Babymetal against his own fans should have been in here.
Hell, you could make a video of the number of bands that have defended Babymetal against the haters. And a video against the haters in the "metal community." And so on...
Only found babymetal afew months ago but enjoy playing ETS2 while listening now
@Black Weirdo a interesting japanese girl metalband
@Black Weirdo did you listened? What's your opinion on them?
@John Volken It's almost as if people's opinions grow and change just as they do :OOOO
Dee Snider and Frank Zappa will always be in my heart for their support of musician’s rights
No John Denver? He was there too & quite possibly gave the most damning speech
Same. I remember watching them on TV talking to Al Gore when I was a teenager. Even my parents were like, “What’s Al’s deal? This is so pointless.”
Funnily enough 2 Live Crew too
@@anywaythewindblows8912 That clip made me hate Al Gore even more for the greedy, hypocrital asshole he is.
To me, it was more Tipper Gore than her husband. A kid of theirs bought Purple Rain by Prince and Tipper heard Darling Nikki and she completely lost her mind about a woman that masterbates! Good Lord the world is going to end and what filth! What a joke.
"Ms. Gore was looking for sadomasochism and bondage." Based on who she married I'd call that a safe assumption.
Apparently Al turned scarlet in response^^
Man what an amazing answer he gave
Exactly what I was thinking as that guy was reading off the lyrics
..and she found it 😂
Omg that's fucking the best comment ever!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh 🤣
Mr Gore is a TOOL.

It’s sad when boring people try to insult artists.
It´s sad that some of those artists are Nickelback and Creed ;)
MAN BEAR PIG!!!
If it's not in their blood they will never ever understand.
@Ari E ikr.
Like what are they heavy metal?
Exactly people who attack music artists daily have no life at all.
Alice Cooper understands human nature. As a little kid I mostly listened to albums with that Parental Advisory stickers, it was an endorsement from the haters.
Same. As soon as I saw an album with that label I had to buy it.....or...ya know...Limewire was legit back then too.
Fun fact: Bluegrass music has lots of songs about men brutally killing women yet never have bluegrass musicians had to sit in front of congress to be scolded for lyrical content. 🤷🏻♂️
When was the last time bluegrass topped any charts?
Like old Irish folk ballads. Lots of murders and brutality. Violence is older than mankind. Glad we can vent some of it through music.
Robert Gibson .....I’m guessing the bluegrass charts pretty regularly
I've never seen any country music drunks and cheaters and wife beaters and that stereotype getting the third degree either.
It gets real awkward at family reunions,though.
''i like to provoke people so they think,i think that's a healthy part of entertainment that you dont get to much from the spice girls''
Amen!
Mansons saying the only thing good about the spice girls is you could jerkoff to them and that's about it ..notice how Manson looks at his hand and shakes it back and forth a little after his sentence

Back then I wanted something from the Spice Girls. It wasn't their music.
Dee snyder owned congress before "owned" was a term.
Owned was a term back then, I'm sure. This generation didn't make it up.
Dee Snider is still one of the most badass dudes and rock. Never forget when him and Zappa saved music from BS censorship
Don’t forget john denver
Sadly they did put stickers on albums, but it backfired
Dee did so well at explaining the concept of the viewer's perception and how it can differ depending on the person, making any interpretation of the lyrics/song/art subjectively valid.
I thought it was genius...he essentially insulted Tipper, and Al is such a dolt he didn't even seem to notice.
Dee Snider is such an intelligent person . Stand up for what you believe in long live metal
I love it when he says "Ms. Gore was looking for sadomasochism and bondage, and she found it."
I agree that was awesome put them in their place
@@Nathan-gd7xq Apparently from the interview he did, he said that Gore at the time being president wanted to jump over the table and punch him.
“Have you ever had a surgery with your hands tied and your legs strapped?”
My dude. . . When they put you to sleep they tie you down cause your body does try to fight intubation. Had a DNC and I was tied down with straps and chains.
I just had abdominal surgery, yes, they put straps on my arms to little side supports, just like crucification.
I had surgery on my upper body teo weeks ago and my shoulders hurt from my arms being strapped for hours so they could get to my ribcage.
So yeah ^^"
@@swantjefoolcan9650 all the best with your recovery, its a big deal. Take it really easy now for several months.
@@rosered3919 Thank you! Breathing is a pain since they fixed a metal bar to my ribs but I'm surviving ^^"
@@swantjefoolcan9650 hope you're doing better now, even with the rib pain, but the straps are NOT because your body fights intubation or the sedative (they administer a paralytic with the sedative, its the anaesthetists job). the real reason is usually just to stop you arms flopping about, or to help keep the arm in a nice supinated (palm up) position for the anaesthetist to get easy access to your median cubital vein in your arm.
any pain you get from the arms is usually due to the surgical team pushing the arm about, leaning on it during an operation, or when you get rolled over. in addition the sedative/paralytic mix they give you can often cause slight muscle pain.

Why not? Would you rather all those sociopaths started sniffing round your bedroom?
They're at a congressional hearing speaking out against censorship. They're there on their own volition.
@@thehellyousay I would rather sorrounded by them than people like you.
@@davep4211 There were suppose to be more bands at the hearing but Only See Snider showed. Good on him
That was Al Gore and his Democrats.
The testimony John Denver gave at the PMRC hearings was awesome. It may not have been as long, but it was every bit as powerful and damning as the testimonies both Snider and Zappa gave. It's too bad that it's routinely ignored.
“Discipline and self-restraint when practiced by an individual, a family, or a company is an effective way to deal with this issue. The same thing when forced on a people by their government or, worse, by a self-appointed watchdog of public morals, is suppression and will not be tolerated in a democratic society.”
John Denver
9/19/1985
What a legend!
Remember when they tried to cancel rock n roll? Lol
Best bit is that Tipper Gore and the PMRC expected Denver, being a “good Christian” and safe artist, to be on their side.
So he shows up, and gives a speech saying that he’s fully against any kind of lyrical sensorship, and compares their ideas of censorship to Nazi book burnings pre-WW2.
The man is a legend, he had nothing to do with the heavy music scene at the time but chose to stand up for art anyway
Rob Halford: "This is what we thrive on. The more you push against us, the more we push against you."
Recently, I've been thinking how much the negative doubting, shouting and even hating, impacts the greatest. The critique and bashing can fold somebody, of course, but it seems that it is needed to push through boundaries into great success. The need to show the doubters. The power that comes from negativity can be even greater than the power that comes from positive feed back.
Alice Cooper looks like an old version of Michael Scott from the Office, lmao
oh maaaaan I just binge watched the office, I completely agree w/ u

Wise words.
Unfortunately, too few listen to that good advice.
Thank you.
Well said 😆
Cobalt AMEN! Spread the positivity!
Manson was awesome back then...handled it all with humor. And Alice Cooper sending flowers and cigars...awesome👊🏻
John Barger Manson is still awesome.
Marilyn Manson 😅...I wasn’t implying that he isn’t any more...I just meant when he was in the news all the time and on the media’s radar...he was great at interviews.
Now he ends his shows when people in the audience don't say they love him.

I feel like nickelback just gets hate because it’s popular to hate them, I’m not a fan but they aren’t terrible
Agreed. Go to any bar and play Nickelback... no one is booing 😂 they're and singing along at the top of their lungs
@@zoezzzarko1117 unless you play it in a school
I'm definitely not a fan of them but there are bands you like and support and bands you don't like. The ones you don't like you respect and just don't listen to it. The "hate thing" is childish and gets you nowhere near a productive conversation.
the main this that is somewhat fair is that everything after their first 2-3 albums have been very simlar and also just like fred durst the singer of nickle back have been known to be somewhat of a ass. The rest is just memeing and bandwagon behaviour
"WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THOSE BOYS IF THEY WERE HERE NOW"?
"I WOULDNT SAY ANYTHING, I WOULD JUST LISTEN"
FUNNY HOW THESE GENIUS PROPHETIC WORDS GO UNACKNOWLEDGED!
I love Manson’s take on his haters, he knew exactly what he’s doing and knows how to get noticed!

Never listen to nickelback only that one song from spiderman
Photograph was and still is a banger, don't care what anyone says. 🤘
@@Housesider amen brother
I do.
I understand where the hate for Nickelback comes from. Their first 4 albums were decent and most people can probably agree on that. But when All the Right Reasons came out, I see where the hate starts coming in. Personally, I don't have a problem with the album, but you can tell they definitely got a little more pop on songs like If Everyone Cared and Far Away. Dark Horse, that album is good, but it's literally all about sex and getting drunk (with the exception of Just to Get High, which has an excellent message). Here and Now, it had some heavier songs that even modern Nickelback haters have said they like (This Means War), but they get more pop on this album (Holding On to Heaven, Don't Ever Let It End, Lullaby). No Fixed Address was all over the place, from a disco song to a Flo Rida cameo. Plus, you can tell the heavier use of Ryan Peake's backing vocals on some songs, probably due to Chad Kroeger's voice issues that lead to him having surgery. They redeemed themselves somewhat with Feed the Machine, with even hardcore Nickelback haters giving praise to the title track.
Fact or fiction with Manson!! Come on !!! Do it already!!
Sabaton is my favorite heavy metal band...they sing all about history in war: the battles, the brave figures (Audie Murphy, Patton's tanks, the Night Witches, the Samurai, etc) and I've learned more through their music than I ever would in school!
Marilyn is always on point!!! My brain cells are happy to listen to him😁
Slipknot outclassing Limp Bizkit has always been my favorite.
“One, I’m a fat ugly kid. Second, Slipknot fans enjoy all kinds of music, like Limp Bizkit maybe. So what you’re saying is that YOUR fans are fat ugly kids too?”
We all really should thank Dee Snider for the music we have today. I remember when he went against congress and what they wanted to do, and he was the biggest fight they had. He walked in there like a BOSS and schooled them so bad they didn't know what to say. Because of him music continued to be what the artist wanted instead of what the government wanted you to hear.

Dee Snyder WINS! FLAWLESS VICTORY! BRUTALITY!!!
The Mary that Alice Cooper talks about is the same Mary that Deep Purple sings about in their song called Mary Long.
And Pink Floyd, too! In their song "Pigs" they talk shit on her in the final verse.
I'm pretty sure she gets mutilated in "Roses on white lace" , finishing with, "her names spelt M A R Y , Gail, gaaaaiiillll." Gotta love Alice.
She was always sending letters to the BBC over stupid minor things can't remember what show it was but one of the characters ends up getting pushed over or something comically and she wrote a letter saying there was no need for that violence that it wasn't family friendly. It was probably a sketch in the two Ronnies or something. A lot of comedians at the time roasted her, trouble was she amassed such a following that the networks actually had to listen to her demands otherwise their ratings would suffer tremendously. Whenever I think of her now I wonder what she would do if she saw what was in tv and music etc it makes me laugh thinking about it.
Fun Fact: Mary Whitehouse was also the same prude that went after the movie Industry and gave us the Video Nasties list back in the 80s.
Speaking as a collector,Thanks for making my video shopping that much more easy.
All of these could have been Marlyin Manson
Cuz he's smart as hell and won't take shit from anyone!
I swear, he needs to take a bag of microphones with him to every interview. Nearly every statement he makes can be accompanied with a MICDROP
Who is Marlyin Manson??
I know a guy named Marilyn Manson, not the one you named
Dee Snider hit it head on. Some of the haters at the time were LOOKING for a reason to bash and hate on metal at the time. Majority of those musicians weren’t even that extreme. Music is up to interpretation. It’s crazy that you could try and take them to court over lyricism and music interpretation.
Nickleback is bad...but not that bad,not as ppl think it is...i wonder why ppl bullied photograph but liked any drake songs
Yeah, it's ok to dislike the music but it's too much to dislike the musicians themselves and harass them.
@Proxy Effect ?
People like Drake because they're mindless sheep that are told that they should like Drake. Marketing works.
@@VoxParanoia _Capitalism has made it this way_
Because it was a movement. It was funny to make fun of Nickleback. And you're making fun of Drake is super hypocritical. Who cares. People like what they like. At the end of the day there is still Nickleback fans and there are still Drake fans.
billie joe armstrong's response to a letter from a "concerned parent"
"Have you ever had surgery with your arms and legs strapped down?" - Yes, it's called a C-section, and I'm sure there are quite a few more surgeries where they strap you down when you only have local anaesthesia, because you MIGHT move even thought you don't want to.
What an idiot. Any doctor could have told him that.
Marilyn Manson is so incredibly well spoken. It's so UNBELIEVABLY satisfying to watch him give such amazing and genuine responses to the same question he gets asked over and over. And with every response is kickass "checkmate" point MADE

Oh man when Rob H. told his story-----my jaw fell on the floor, first of all if that dudes name got out he'd have a miserable rest of his life coz every where he went he'd hear how he was the guy that said that shit to Mr. Rob Friggin Halford. Besides people like that are just ignorant and dont know when to shut it. Thank You to Loudwire for showing the rest of the world that ALL of their assumptions and stereo typical judgements of artists in the Rock/Metal are wrong 🖤🖤🤘🤘💯💯 By the way, I'm sharing the crap outta this video too!!!
5:23... sad wings on destiny is maybe one of my all time fav albums from any genre, anytime, any musical group, the person who said that obviously was just talking to talk.

I REALLY WANNA KNOW
Manson is a genius
Rob Halford is amazing. I truly love him 💖🤘🏽
Thank you for the video! You friends are all super awesome! Oh, moments with this video are sad.
I think it's funny when people say a band "sells out". Like...when you become a commercial artist or band isn't that the point is to make money? I mean if you play gigs and earn money, you're not just doing it because you enjoy it, you're doing it because it also pays you to do it.
I think it's just pure jealousy, to be honest. Imagine watching someone who is getting paid a shit-ton of money for doing something they love, while you're stuck in a soulless, dead end job for minimum wage. There's two ways to go; either applaud their good fortune or try and bring them down to your level. There's too many prepared to tear down rather than toast success. Personally, I admire anyone who has had the balls to do what they love and make a living out of it, because it's never as easy as it appears.
Exactly, it's their job they love and enjoy and also gain money from, so why does it bother those trve kvlt thots?
People always say that when small bands make it big.They feel like they have to share a band that was only created for them, or some similar strange logic. I remember how mad people got when Metallica cut their hair, calling them sellouts. What a stupid thing to get mad about.
Bruh, sad wings of destiny is a great album
You've done this video like 3 times already!
Thank you Mr. Gore.
I'd love if heavy metal had a bigger audience so more people could enjoy it, but with a fandom like metalheads, who dont even get along in the different subgenres of metal and throw shit at each other, metal will mever succeed among the big masses. That's why lots of people hate on metal heads too, most of them are insufferable and intolerant to even other genres of metal, imagine bringing another music into conversation that isn't even metal.
Preach! I don't even want to call myself a metalhead even tho i like metal because the fandom is too toxic, worse than even kpop fans who are only good at talking shit, while the metalheads are ready to commit murder and fights to prove a point, it's creepy.
Mainstream mass appeal is where good things go to die. There's already plenty of modern metal bands which are gunning for a pop spot and it's doing nothing good for the genre or what that band individually could have been. It's tragic seeing bands put out early albums these days filled with traces of how great they could be just to betray themselves and bleed themselves for a passing moment in the sun by the next. Adversity is the crucible which produces quality - take that away and you just end up with husks who could put out anything and there'd be ten million and one people mindlessly funding and consuming it. What's the point? Old bands like Maiden which got insanely big are only still producing things worthy of their potential because of the environment they had to overcome and it instilled an integrity, commitment and discipline you rarely get anymore. Metal's already at a point where it attracts the attention of people with no understanding or care for the culture and history. It doesn't need to go further.
I guess you weren't around when thrash was getting big or iron maiden days, black sabbath, alice cooper or even glam was huge in the late 80s

There's a damn good reason why musicians get the better of haters and that's because they are smarter than they are given credit for. I imagine the case against Dee Snider, the PMRC thought they'd have it done and dusted in a matter of minutes, but failed to realise that Dee isn't some muscle-headed musician, but actually a thoughtful and articulate man who tore apart their feeble arguments with very little effort. And as for Alice Cooper, sending thank-you gifts to the haters for inadvertently boosting his career is a touch of class!
Despite his popularity as a former vice president and an environmental activist, Al Gore is always going to be a chump because of his wife's campaign against the growing popularity of heavy music back in the 80s.
Did he support her?
Dee Snider against pmrc is the most classic example here, thank U!
1:51 one of the few people that can still pull off the 2000s blonde tips

Have Rappers and Hip Hop artists been dragged before congress?
And apparently, Bluegrass is some grimdark media as well.
"It's only rockn'roll, but I like it!"
Dee Snider's responses were amazing. Did he know he lawyer's points in advance? Very intelligent responses.
in 2020 we are going to stop being so judgmental of where artists choose to take their music 🙏
Everybody needs to have a few haters during their lifetime...as the saying goes "When people u don't even know hate u, that's when u know you're the best." Always loved that saying.

always good to see a band or singer, even if you're not fond of them, use their brain to outmatch an interviewer or politician instead of a hate filled tweet or "French you!"

I'm a lady in her 40s who has screamed DIE! DIE! DIE! at the 3 Metallica concerts I've been at over the last 30 years; and guess what? I have never killed anyone, nor had the inclination. Music (especially heavy metal and rock) and listening to it and participating in it at a live concert, is simply a release... and we ALL need that :) Its healthy.

As the mother of a musician and song writer I completely understand their need to express themselves and have always encouraged my son to do whatever what he thinks is right for him. I mean I get it. The stuff that people write about is often questioning and trying to understand the world around them and their place in it. One day my sister asked me if I knew what he was writing about. I said 'of course I do. When he writes something new he comes to me and says mom I wrote a new song today. Do you want to hear it?' 'Of course I do' I respond. And he plays his newest song for me. I say to my sister ' oh fuck, imagine that. My son has an outlet for his thoughts and feelings. Well damn that he has that and accesses it. Call me crazy but I'm happy that my son is thoughtful and can express himself'...What???
Your son is truly lucky. My mother isn't so understanding
I was at that show that Maria Brink was talking about. It was at Ozzfest 07 in CT. A bunch of people in the crowd started chanting and she stopped the show and told them all off. There are some videos if you search for it.
