Honestly, my life doesn’t depend on Chapter 2 coming out. I’m 41 years old, I have a family and kids who take up my time, a job that keeps me busy, and a lot of hobbies. I’ve been a Manson fan since 1996, but my obsession slowly faded around 2008 after EMDM. To me, Manson was basically dead, and his music no longer interested me until the announcement of OAUG. My excitement came back and I felt like I did 20 years ago — the anticipation for a single, a music video, and finally the album, all the way up to seeing him live again in Spain.

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been paying attention to every update. I honestly thought Chapter 2 would be released in February considering that the album is supposedly already finished. But this is dragging on way too long now. Too many… way too many meaningless live photos, too many references to past albums, and now even posts celebrating one year since the collaboration on “God Is a Weapon”… completely irrelevant when the fans are already here, willing to buy the albums and go to the shows.

The flame is starting to fade, and maybe the supposed Chapter 2 won’t hit the same anymore, especially considering it’s only 8 songs, which will have to be incredibly good to keep that excitement alive.

I say all of this with complete respect, just as a way for us to share and vent our thoughts.

While everyone is waiting and trying to guess the release dates for new material it seems like a good time to revisit a classic.

I was just curious as to what the final straw was? What made him want to become sober? Also during his current concerts does he still sing songs like “The Dope Show” or “I Don’t Like the Drugs?”
