Marilyn Manson's Performance Less Intense, Less Interesting

Marilyn Manson and his band rolled through Toronto's Air Canada Centre Thursday night in support of their latest album The High End Of Low. The 20,000 capacity arena was a surprising choice of venue, which was reflected by the many empty seats in the house.

If that spooked as much fear in you as it did me, then playing this soundtrack while you're out alone in the woods is the wrong move. One look at the name of the executive music producer and it's no wonder why the...

Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" Declared Most Controversial Song Of All Time

The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" has been voted the most controversial song of all time in a new poll by Britain's Performing...
