i have memorized this video by heart, August 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Marilyn Manson - Dead to the World [VHS] (VHS Tape)
this video was fantastic!!! manson must have spent a fortune getting all kinds of camera shots. let's see, what songs were on there...um...well, it starts out with some close-minded christians running around with their ridiculous signs in front of a manson concert. then it grinds right into 'angel with the scabbed wings'. the other songs on the tape are '1996', 'lunchbox', 'apple of sodom', 'sweet dreams', kinderfeld', 'antichrist superstar', 'the beautiful people' and i think that's about it. all of the concerts are filmed live from one of the 'dead to the world' tour stages. highlights: you get to see marilyn actually smile and laugh, you get to see twiggy give manson oral sex, ginger puts the end of a fork in his mouth and wiggles it back and forth, someone hits manson with a green popple on stage, manson takes a shower while fuming, twiggy pukes..twice!, some french prostitute takes her top off, manson swims naked in a pool, pogo throws a chair at a wall, twiggy falls down on stage and has to get helped back up, manson explains why he doesn't drink coffee and what made him resent christianity so early in life, up-close-and-personal with the devoted fans, The Slashers! parts you shouldn't let your parents see: just about every backstage part. manson cuts himself during sweet dreams. manson does this cool crab-walk pelvic-thrust thingy during 'lunchbox'. manson humps the mike stand one time. anyway, there's a lot of stuff on there that might offend the staunchest mansonite. but, once you get used to it, you can laugh at it. all in all, i highly recommend it.

Marilyn Manson ~ Dead To the World, October 28, 2004
This review is from: Marilyn Manson - Dead to the World [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you think you know Marilyn Manson simply because you've read about him and listen to his music on a daily basis, well I've got news for you: You don't know jack$h!% until you've watched this video! Even the most devoted fans might be shocked or even offended by what they see on this 60 minute film about the controversial band's "Antichrist Superstar" concert tour. In the first 5 minutes of the video, you'll see footage of christians singing gospel hymns & witnessing to Manson fans outside of the arenas before the concerts. As an atheist, I bursted out laughing at the lengths that these christians went to just to get their message across to all of the Manson fans. Singing, dancing, praying, preaching from the bible, holding signs that say "Manson, Jesus Loves You" and stuff like that, it was just funny. Then the cameras take us inside the arena as Manson appears on stage to kick things off by singing "The Angel With the Scabbed Wings." Manson is interviewed throughout the program and explains why he hates christianity so much and how he feels when religious people attack him & refuse to let their children come to see him perform. There's a lot of blurred faces and disguised voices on this tape, and can be a bit annoying. Even Manson's voice during some of the interviews sounds audibly crasp, but if you've got good hearing, you should be able to make out what he's saying. Other live songs include Kinderfield, Sweet Dreams, Antichrist Superstar, Lunchbox, and Apple of Sodom, which I consider to be my favorite song on the video. Also, you'll see clips of Manson performing 1996 and Rock 'n' Roll N*****. Manson is a very outspoken speaker and exercises it by giving some interesting speeches at various concerts. A lot of the backstage footage is rather tasteless & very shocking, so don't watch this tape if you're easily offended. Don't say I didn't warn you! This video contains nudity, strong language, disturbing images, and mature subject matter.

The Antichrist - On Screen, October 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Marilyn Manson - Dead to the World [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I personally think that this is the most extreme, intense and superb live video I have ever seen. Many people hate Marilyn because he is so extreme, but that is why I respect him. He isn't fake, you'll see that on this video. He is not Brian Warner, he has made a lifestyle choise and is now 100% antichrist superstar. He doesn't compromise his lifestyle, and I got the impression from the video that he's just as extreme off stage as on stage. Highlights on the video include live-versions of : Sweet Dreams, Apple of Sodom ( just too spooky = totally cool), Beutiful People and the classic Lunch box ( which is filmed extremely cool, exellent camera man). If your a Manson fan you have to get this as much as any of his cd's, a future classic. The only bad thing about the video that I can think of is the bad sound qvality on some of the backstage footage (not the live stuff). Go get it, and make your collection complete.
