Marilyn Manson Was Close To Suicide

There was a point awhile ago — but before news of the dissolution of his marriage to Dita Von Teese went public in late January — that Marilyn Manson realized he just didn’t want to be alive anymore, according to MTV News report. His life was in turmoil, he had hit a wall creatively, and the idea that he didn’t “have somebody to hold hands with through hell” was too much to handle.

“I was clearly at the point where I was ready to give up, and it wasn’t that I didn’t have the motivation to … it was almost as if I couldn’t bring myself to make a conclusion,” Manson explained. “I can look back on it now like it was a different person, and I refuse to ever get to that place again. But it was mostly because I didn’t feel that I had someone who was going to walk with me through the horrible reality that we live in. Did I want to kill myself? Yes. Did I come close to doing that? More than I’d like to think. The only thing I can say about it is, I feel like maybe I wasn’t strong enough to make that choice. I guess I was just more lost than anything. I didn’t have anything to attach myself to. I didn’t have any emotions or fears — nothing to have hope for.

“There’s a big difference, I discovered, between wanting to die and not wanting to live,” he continued. “When you want to die, you at least have a goal. When you don’t want to live, you’re really just empty. That’s the point I was at before I was able to make ‘Eat Me, Drink Me’ .”

Manson said he needed to find reasons to want to live, and in time, did so in actress Evan Rachel Wood, who eventually became his girlfriend. “Finding someone who’s willing to drown with you creates a situation where you no longer want to drown,” he said.

It was meeting Wood, he said, that helped him salvage his muse and finish Eat Me, Drink Me. He recorded the effort — which follows 2003’s The Golden Age of Grotesque, leaked online Tuesday and hits stores June 5 — in a Hollywood studio with guitarist/bassist Tim Skold. “It would be an understatement to say this record saved me,” Manson said. “This record was my salvation. This was my rebirth. This was me realizing who I am, so this is the most important record I’ve ever made, in every possible way.”

I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Could be a spam-fest.

[bmac85]

does anyone else find this very touching for a marilyn manson article...“Finding someone who’s willing to drown with you creates a situation where you no longer want to drown” that's a beautiful line to me

[7thhell]

Glad to hear he is feeling better. I wonder how the movie he is making is getting along?

[Rebourne]

I don't believe that shit for a second, he's a showman.

For me to believe it he would have to actually do it.

[g00fy_130]

What's the matter? Could he not find anymore 80's songs to remake and totally butcher? "Portrait of an American Family" is still suck a kick ass album. Just get back to your roots and it will be fine.

[blasphemus666]

wow dita iz a bitch for doing tht to him

[Noverion]

dont reazly like him, but hes a very clever man, and he i respect him for that. Just seems liek a very mature way to take things, i would even go so far as say its pretty damn beautiful really. wow.

[aevus]

mmm well i dont really like him, but everybody goes through stages like he did. im glad that hes better now

[Razorkiss1334]

It's a change definately. Anyone who's not ready to accept it can forget about being a fan.

[stone_gossard]

Publicity stunt, anyone?

[GeekStinkBreath]

You all are such dicks, haha.

He had a breakdown, big deal, most people do. I don't think it's bad that he had one or whatever. I do, however, think its stupid that there is an article about it.

[baki]

he made a wrong desicion!

[deadlyMETAL]

Isn't he the same guy who said that he wanted to die by suicide during a live show...?

[s/ash]

Just another gimick to sell some records, like when he was a girl or something in that music video

i used to listen to manson...before i liked music

I personally am a big Manson fan, so I would like to back him up... The problem is how. I think all of you are just ignorent and close-minded. If you knew Marilyn Manson, at least knew SOMETHING about him, then you would know that this is NOT something he would do to

Marilyn Manson does not care about selling records. The point of him is to end all judgement, and he does not care whether you hate him or love him. As long as you hear him. Read his autobiography or look up on him before making such bullsh|t accusations and retarded things.
He changes his genre a lot, because doing the same thing over and over again loses his interest. If you don't like what he is doing, then don't like it, and don't listen to it. Pleas to go back to the Original are bullsh|t because then you just can't accept the new, you live in a Box, in a Cage, unable to take in the new and deal with it...

Seriously... This is supposed to be about what influenced him on his new album... What point he came accross and is trying to express... The fact that he almost commited suicide is a connotation, a mere connotation, albeit an important one...

Thats my personal view i suppose... Glad he is better and can't wait for the new album.

[Anarion614]

“There’s a big difference, I discovered, between wanting to die and not wanting to live,” he continued. “When you want to die, you at least have a goal. When you don’t want to live, you’re really just empty."

That's very true.

y wud he even try killing him self he has a bosh life being a goth and famous and all the girls how better cud it be

[Grimme]

If someone really wants to commit suicide, they will do it.
I think he's had a bout of depression more than anything, article title is misleading.

[sum41freak8733]

bodom0420 your right about one thing marilyn probably wasnt worried about a piece off ass HES A ****ING ROCKSTAR DUMB*** you know to some people (obviously not you ) people fall in love .....it happens any one can get laid .....hell a hobo on a street could get a hooker the fact is , is that marilyn had some one he cared about THERES A BIG DIFFERENCE .....now for number 2



2---- MONEY DOESNT MEAN **** yeah if you had all the money in the world it would be cool but it doesnt mean you wouldnt be sad not everything in the world revolves around money


3 --- i dont remember him calling HIMSELF a badass ya hes into different stuff (things i dont agree with ) but i respect him and EVERYONE i mean EVERYONE HAS PROBLEMS





conclusion -----

Bodom0420----- stop trying to act like some hardcore kid and think before you type something out .....your not famous so how would you know if when you were famous you would be happy you wouldnt so stfu stop tryin to act like you dont have problems becuase you do and so does everyone else .....i mean im not really into his music but i know what he means everyone goes through **** like this

[arsonite]

It isn't good when anyone thinks about committing suicide.

[punkrockdude2]

well im happy hes still alive and I cant wait to see Across the Universe with Evan in it.

[evening_crow]

Sucks for him but I'm glad that he's pretty much over it by now.

...And people please, don't let yourself be so ignorant. Money is hardly worth anything in live. Think about it, what would you prefer: A life with simply an infinite amount of money, or a life to share with a person you truly love and loves u back and can depend on for everything?

Heck, if I had my heart broken I'd probably feel as bad as he did. It's rather normal to feel that way, whether you're a rockstar or not. Everyone feels depressed and doesn't want to live now and then, unfortunately the article's title is a bit misleading just to get attention and creat a bit of publicity.

Oh screw you. do you know how pretentious this is? He says he hates judgement and about making money. Thats total bullshit. He's a capitalist along with the rest of the "rich people" he claims he's against. Only someone as smart as him knows that he can exploit angsty teenagers to buy his albums. You're full of shit and so is manson.

I agree. It's a tough thing to go through and everyone goes through it, even the "big shots". People seem to forget that Marilyn Manson is human, too...

Also, I have the new album. It's AMAZING.

if he did then it wud confirm that rock isnt hard or fun anymore its depressing and emo. thanks kurt cobain and before i get flamed for that i like nirvana and marilyn manson

sound emo.... i like some of his music, and i agree with him on some issues, (he is a very intelligent person) but otherwise i think he's a bit dramatic. but then again, it's kind of his job... he's marilyn manson, you know?

yea, manson's got like, what is it 2 or 3 Doctorates (PhD's) and yes, he IS a showman, all about the shock and awe effect, but it IS possible that he hit a low point in his life, and ive been there too...=\

[v2kv]

I agree with evening_crow, people seem to think he's not human just because he's a rockstar, even though he's always honestly expressed himself through his music which all his true fans can easily see. But as a big fan I agree with the fact that the new album sucks balls...even though Manson's vocals were as amazing as ever, I just think Skold did a shitass job with the riffs, but then again he's no John 5 so whatever...the tour will be sweet

[Under_The_Oath]

Damn, he didn't take it far enough.

[FrozenSnake999]

Poor Manson..=/, i hate when that happens..he is a really great artist, i hate how people say goodbye so easily..forgetting everything..just let the memories e gone forever. Hope he feels better. Cuz someone stole his dreams and hopes..

I must support that as well. Clearly this guy using the term "a piece of ass" Is just some immature little tough guy who has, as one of you so excellently put it, a lot to learn. Maybe if Marilyn Manson was overly Materialistic, like 85% of our world, then his money would keep him happy. But no amount of money can stop a full hearted person from feeling pain.

Im not really into his music, but its good to see he didn't kill himself. Hes a smart dude. Very well spoken.

Well saying it is "misleading" is well misleading. It may be slightly vague maybe, But hardly misleading. Now it said he was close to suicide, Suicide isn't just an action. It is also the feeling of desire to take ones own life. He was suicidal but he did not do it. I have been "close to suicide" But I'm still here, am I not?

[ZepDeadSabbath]

I have heard one of the tracks off the new album and for those who have not, let me be the first to tell you: it sucks ass. I dislike manson as a person and a musician. I think - like many metal fans - that he never wrote music for his own artistic expression but he wrote dark, heavy music to appeal to the rebellious disillusioned youth of america. The crazy stage shows and and unpredictable actions were obviously just ways to gain publicity and certainly did not reflect his own opinions about life, religion and politics.

Now as far as the actual music is concerned, the only good thing about mansons music was his guitarist, John 5. He came up with all of manson's cool guitar riffa and all manson did was sing/talk his crappy cliched lyrics in avery monotone, out of key sort of way. Now amson dosent even have John 5 to beef up his sound.

Dita was ****ing hot tho. I'd tap that.

Dude
Manson would go that far to kill himself
His life has alway been crappy from the very point of his birth. Im sure if you had the life he has had you would have made the same choice he had but maybe you would ave actually killed yourself. Who knows? I'm just glad Manson did what was right and is now still alive. Manson is my idle and will always be and life without you would be nothing ike it is right now =]. He's wrote great music, he has a great voice, great talent, and it would be a shame to see all of that talent go to waste. Glad you did the right thing Brian. Good job

[Bored to Tears]

Yeah, I don't like his music either, but it was said up there that he is a very wise man. I don't agree with his sense of fashion, but I do agree that he is an intelligent man. I respect him for that.

All of you people sicken me. You say that since he is "bad ass" or whatever that he should have just gone ahead and killed himself... that he's a pussy for not doing it!??

Celebrities in this genre never claim to be anything. Its YOU, the listeners, who make them out as trying to be "bad ass" or "hardcore" or whatever.

Marilyn Manson is a real person with real emotions and real feelings. Fuck all of you who are too ignorant and narrow minded to realize this.

I never really got into Manson, but I don't dislike his music nor do I hold any grudge against the man for doing the things he's done over the years - he's an entertainer, he does those things to help make our lives more enjoyable. I'm glad he's okay now!

dude marilyn manson kicks ass

[nebraskan]

I don't see why people respect him, it's not hard to find the center of our society (religion) and then just do the opposite so kids can think they're accomplishing something by listeing to him. Sure, some of his songs are catchy, but it's not hard to do what he's done: Someone could go to India and talk shit about their religion and how it's false and they would be his equivalent. Besides, who's someone who dressed like a girl, had a girl's name and wore makeup? Manson got that all from Cooper. He is given so much more respect than he deserves because of this, and he's been seen as a much more intelligent person than he really is. But I am kind of glad that he didn't kill himself because then I couldn't make fun of him, because even if the human being deserves little respect alive, it doesn't mean they should be made fun of in death.

(not cobain he commited suicide so it wasn't a tragic accident and also he wasn't a very good musician in my oppinion.)

as for those others, alexi (children of bodom), manson, the list goes on all through "crappy" (once again, my oppinion, i get to speak it. for now..) music...

It never said that he tried to kill himself. He said he wanted to die.

And how dare you say that Children of Bodom produces crappy music!? *Pours gasoline on you and sets you ablaze* You may not like their music but they are some of the most talented musicians out there today!

And Kurt didnt commit suicide - he overdosed on heroine and then was shot by someone else to make it appear as if it were suicide. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon and saying it was Courtney Love but he did not shoot himself.

what is with you guys? you don't understand anything. yes, it does happen to everyone, but it doesn't make it easier to pull through because he's a rockstar, if anything it makes it harder. he's had to go through all of this with jackasses like you criticizing him every step of the way. think about what you're doing, would you be able to deal with all of this stuff he's going through with pieces of shit like your self giving him shit for being human??? probably not. he may have people lined up to be with him, but that doesn't make him hurt any less. how old are you, 12, 13??? apparently you've never been through anything like this, grow up...

[Slackerbitch]

I actually find it very funny that so many people are talking shit about Manson, while it's obvious they don't know a thing about him. It's like saying you hate a movie you haven't seen. Seriously every Manson hater, I recommend you read his autobiography, before you open your mouth and let others know why you hate him so much. Don't form opinions without reasons. I love pretty much all the music they've released so far, and I respect Manson as a person, but I'm totally OK if you don't. However stating that Manson's full of shit without knowing even a tiny bit about him only makes you the one who's full oh shit.
Read his book, and you'll see he is really just like you, a person with emotions and feelings of confusion. It's the most personal autobiography I have ever read. If after reading it you still feel he's an *******, then go ahead, but at least now you have the knowledge to explain why. Thank you.

[Ahlihsah]

Not only because I wanted to type out his/her name, but I've also read his autobiography and agree with everything they say.

Pretty cool. I'm not a fan of his music (more a fan of John5) but I appreciate Manson. He's a very intelligent person and i've seen him upfront. He's not 3 quaters of what people think he is. He's totally different.

[orangepick]

this man has no spine ...

[Twiggy81R]

I just want to say that the more the I listen to "Eat Me, Drink Me" (yes I downloaded it and I will purchase it because I am a huge Manson fan) the more it grows on me. It's the type of album you will turn to when you lose something; when you feel alone; when you want to create or destroy. A brilliant work of art by him. Thank you, Brian, for making real music from the heart.

In fact, I'm going to buy both the limited and basic cd.

I must agree, Money doesn't make a person immortal. No matter how materialistic u are.

i've never posted before, but after reading through these comments, i have too. give manson a break would ya. imagine YOU were him, if this is difficult for you then don't, but proceed in shutting up. the man, he is only a man, has dedicated his life to entertaining us and creating art of his own personal expressions. so he made some money and became a rock star. now all the people who he talks to are yes-men. people who want his approval(or maybe money) so they follow him tell him everything he wants to hear. so when he finds someone beautiful and willing to be honest with him and challenge his life abit, he falls in love. life is great at this point, anyone who has been in love can tell you that. then he gets his heart ripped out or whatever happened between him and dita, and falls into a pit of depression. i personally have been in his shoes before and contemplated not living. i'm still here though and this is why you should all shut up. this human being goes through one of the most difficult human emotions to lose (something money can't actually fix), and you call him a fake, a phoney, a money greedy freak. maybe he told us this story not to sell records, maybe he knew that alot of teenaged, and now midle aged people as well, listen to his music and watch his actions, so he decided to help those who feel similar by showing them that everyone gets down and out, but you've gotta fight to find reasons not to end it. you can't make music thats so angry and raw and to the point withoput having emotions and feelings run through your body. maybe you all have your heads too far up your a$$e$ to think about that. but not all of you. at least i hope not.

Just to add to the reality check for Bodom0420, Have you ever been in love? Doesn't sound like it...Have you ever been depressed? It's not something you just get over, even if you have everything in the world and nothing seems wrong to everyone else, there are things that go on behind the scenes that aren't so great and depending on how you handle that, it can get bottled up inside and those things are always on your mind and you can't sleep, you can't eat, and you feel like you don't wanna live, which according to Manson (and I totally agree with) means that you feel empty...like no one cares, like no one wants you around, and that hurts. Point being, don't say sh*t that you can't back up and you have no idea what you're really talking about, leave the talking to the people who have been there and know what it's like.

marilyn keep your head together man i would flip if i heard you killed yourself

[smitty_bang]

what a freak why is he so devilish lighten up already

[spite 666]

i agree with skrage and hxcguitarist most of the people that say bad things about manson have probably never experience neither love or depression, so they should go learn something about what they are saying before they say it. I respect manson soo much and i love his music and his new album is my favourite yet. im glad hes still around

[war666child]

how do you know he doesn't want to sell a shit load of records and take your money?.. did he say that he loves his fans more then money? if he is suicidal he could care less for his fans... well if he did went suicide, that would be one less annoying person in the world.....
Manson is just a drama queen.. he'd do anything to have attention... (wanna be anti-chirst)
