Marilyn Manson's Cannibal Obsession

Marilyn Manson chatted about his typically controversial new album 'Eat Me, Drink
Me' this week and revealed that the album title was 'partly inspired by German
cannibal Armin Meiwes'.

"If I had a choice, being devoured and devouring the person you're obsessed with is
the most romantic idea possible. The only complication is the practicality of it,
that one person just gets full and the other person's dead," he told MTV.

"I mean it in a literal sense and a metaphorical sense, but I think that I don't
plan on being eaten anytime soon," he mused.

His words echoed those used by Armin Meiwes during his trial for cutting up,
dismembering and eating Bernd Brandes after meeting his willing victim via an
internet posting on a cannibal website. Mr Brandes bought a one-way ticket to meet
him and agreed to have his penis cut off, which Meiwes then flambeed and served up
to eat together, after which Meiwes killed him, the BBC reported in 2003.

"I have intense and positive memories of Bernd," he told German newspaper Die Welt
am Sonntag soon after being arrested. "I have his face permanently before me. That's
the sign of a friendly relationship," he added.

As his trial continued, Meiwes revealed he was planning on writing a cannibal
cookbook containing recipes including 'biceps in Marsala (sherry), loin schnitzels
braised in garlic and breaded young man's veal', and remained unrepentant as his
trial reached its conclusion

"Bernd came to me of his own free will to end his life,'' he said in his closing
statement. ''For him, it was a nice death.''

'Eat Me, Drink Me' is out in June (includes new tracks "They Said That Hell's Not
Hot" and "Mutilation Is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery").

yuckk.. that sounds disgusting.. i always hate that guy..

That's the sexiest thing I've ever heard.

he is going to eat evan rachel wooooooood.

i dont hate him, but i do find him extremely freaky. no offence to his supporters. i have listened to his music, its too dark, just not my cup of tea.

he's weird, but i love his music xP

Wow, how romantic indeed!

He's not being paid to say this, is he?

Weird guy, his music doesn't really appeal to me either.

i dont see how that is romantic, that's disgusting >_>

He...scares me O_o No offense to his fans.

It's romantic if you (probably ignore that fact that you're eating someone and being eaten, if that severely disgusts you) think of it as you're bonded to another person, not only emotionally, but physically as well, as one being in two forms.

But... you don't really need to kill one person, just take a body part form both. *shrug*


...I actually admire this man. This probably isn't the best example of a reason, but eh.

this man is on the verge of pretty good stuff, but i mean some of it is just wrong ... physically bonding with someone by eatting a partt of them? no thanks :]

THAT IS REALLY NASTY..... YEAh.. no offense to his fans but that IS really weird... i never really liked him from the start either.. and his music.. ..

ew thats digusting. i dun find it in anyway good

He really creeps me out, especially after that removing his rib to eat himself incident, but.. his music's still good.

wordie wooooooooooooooorddd!!!!!!

Ugh, I really think Manson tries too hard sometimes.
If he wants to freak people out he should say he only eats babies, or something.
Cannibalism is, like, so 80's.

I know, right.



I like MM more when he's on Henry Rollins show, talking about painting while watching Terrence Malick movies. But I guess it's his job to "freak" people out.

As for Evan, she's just going through a phase. She's not actually crazy, like Rose McGowan. But I mean that in a good way, as I love Rose.

Marilyn Manson is a waste of a human being.

OMFG. He is such a freak.

metaphorically... thats "romantic". literally.... disgusting.

Whatever. I'm excited for the album. No matter how freaky the album title's origin is.

he scares the living hell out of me

Actually, plenty of cultures believe eating the heart or other body part of their newly deceased relatives would always keep that relatives spirit with them.
Other cultures believe that cooked blood from one of your descendants can cure certain illnesses, because their youthful spirit is in the blood.

Vampires, that suck blood and have a human form, are seen as very sexual and kind of an untouchablly attractive by modern western culture...and, traditionally(books, movies, ect.), have the power to transform a human into a vampire by taking blood, often creating a bond...

Metaphorically, the act of eating some one up is actually pretty romantic..I'm not with him in the literal sense as much...

he's one messed up dude
freaks the hell outta me

I love Marilyn Manson. Can't say I love cannibalism, but I do love Marilyn Manson. xD

I like his music.i dunno he has this kinda obsession though..O_O

Ha ha, I'm not surprised if one day, he goes on Ebay and shop for body parts.That's what I call shopping.
