You know, I'm actually surprised, I guess I just assumed he was one of those guys with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, with each video getting 30k+ views an hour after being uploaded. I'm legit shocked this video has under a thousand over half a day later and he only has modest 12k. This dude's work screams quality. He definitely deserves more, and I'm pretty sure he'll get there.
My favourite Manson rumor is from the 00's, where he would claim to be constantly drunk, and having only drunk Absinthe for a decade straight. That was until he went to Sweden for an interview on a show where 2 comedians would gather interesting people from around the world and talk about what makes them unique. A sort of celebration of oddities. During the interview, Manson had a glass on the table, occasionally taking a sip. When asked what was in it, he of course said "Absinthe". Now, those who have tried the quite intoxicating drink will know it is called the "Green Dragon" for a reason. It is quite potent, and you'll feel your throat burn. It's not something you just take a sip of and NOT make a face the first time you try it. The interviewer asked "Can I try?", Manson said "Go ahead", and straight-faced, the interviewer took a sip, looked into the camera and said "This tastes like apple juice". And there, a decade of rumors, spread by Manson himself, was squashed by... squash (pulpless juice, for you non-Brits out there).
Legend goes that Gabriele D'Annunzio, the most prominent Italian novelist of early 20th century, got a pair of ribs removed for.. ehm, self-amusement purposes.
One thing that always surprises me is our cyclical nature. Especially in regards to gossip. We seam to end up looping back to the same talking points every era about those with any modicum of power. It's similar to the video on the cool S, something about these stories endures even in corrupted forms. The fact I immediately finished with seamen's semen when I saw the stomach pump part is a clear byproduct of that. Btw I'm not going anywhere, I'm getting the engagement up for this channel if it's the last thing I do.
As for rock stars myth is concerned, the most bizarre one i know that might be actually true is the one described by Frank Zappa in the song "The mud shark" which involve a groupie, a mud shark and the members of Vanilla Fudge and (suposedly) Led Zeppelin, all with sexual results.
I'd love to do something about all the insane rockstar rumors through the years and their origins, but... Like 90% of them would not fly on RUclips. Maybe somewhere else one day.
Huh... your voice sounds different in this, do you have a cold or something? It's kind of funny though, me and my friend were just talking about Marilyn Manson and this silly rumor the other day. Like just out of the blue it came up on the ride home from work. Like two days ago, what are the odds? In any event, good stuff, man. Per usual.
Yeah. I didn't really have a cold, but I was getting over being sick and had a bad cough. So that's why my voice sounds odd. I was having coughing fits between sections. I'm good now though.
@@Pseudiom I hate that, coughing for days after getting over being sick. Glad you're feeling better, man. It wasn't too distracting. It just caught me off guard at first.
@@Pseudiom honestly, as weird as that may seem, your voice in this video is a lot easier on the ears and generally fits the tone of your content better. your regular voice is a little too one-note and wishywashy
The Symbol Name Saga? Will you be making a video on that topic, perhaps? Because when you just threw it out, it seemed like you didn't really grasp WHY he changed his stage name to a symbol for a few years. For the first part of his career, he used his actual first name as his stage name, Prince, when he was signed to Warner Brothers. In 1994, some legal issues arose, when Prince wanted more creative and financial control over his own music. Warner Brothers proceeded to sue him over that. Feeling that Warner Brothers owned his very name, he starter performing with "SLAVE" written on his cheek and said he had changed his stage name to a symbol that nobody can pronounce, for the duration of his contract with Warner Brothers. The symbol was a way for him to dissociate the Warner Brothers brand with his own name, so that he could later use his own name in other ventures. And he thought it would screw up a lot of business for WB if the symbol could not be printed in text, nor pronounced verbally, but WB still owned his name at that point and just used Prince. After the contract ended, he started his own production label and retook the name Prince again. However, whenever he did collaborations, where at least part of the music would be owned by someone else, he always used a pseudonym, out of caution that his name would be owned by someone else again. And if you want to know why ownership of a person of colour's name in late 20th century Luisiana was a bad thing, you might need a different type of history lesson...
The fact that you haven't got more subscribers is seriously a crime

my favorite urban legend is that my parents wanted me.
can't wait for your upcoming video on autoerotic asphyxiation

Gunning hard for that trending tab

The ancient Greeks would have hated Pixie Fox so much.
i love your channel and the stuff you cover. thank you for your content king
I do it for all the kings out there
I've always thought this was a real thing since well, before a couple of years ago, honestly.
Me too and, I mean, it kinda is, but not in the way most think.
I've never heard of this, actually
