Covers. They are as much a part of music as anything else. A great cover can put a band on the map while murdering a classic is never a good career move. So what makes a cover stand up? Why are people like Marilyn Manson and Johnny Cash as well known for their interpretations of someone else’s music as they are their own? While others efforts are scorned.
The Curious World of Marilyn Manson
Being Marilyn Manson must be weird. I mean you only have to look at a picture of the bloke to figure that out. Throw in the countless rumours, which have swirled around him since he burst onto the music scene (I’m pretty sure he still has all his ribs), a love of absinthe and an image that is part Voldemort and you end up with a musician whose world probably resembles The Nightmare Before Christmas. Yet that is not even the half of it, because this is also a man who has given us one hell of a collection of music since the release of his debut, Portrait of an American Family, in 1994.
