“Rock Is Dead” in Guns, God and Government by Marilyn Manson <br /><br />Guns, God and Government was a world tour by Marilyn Manson between 2000 and 2001, promoting the album Holy Wood. With theatrical aesthetics, social criticism, and provocative symbolism, this tour solidified Manson as a countercultural icon. The show was filmed in multiple cities, capturing the intensity of his stage performance and his defiant message against American religion, politics, and morality. <br /><br />About the song: The third single from Mechanical Animals, released in 1999 and featured on The Matrix soundtrack. With a glam rock edge and direct sound, the song ironically declares the death of rock’s rebellious spirit, consumed by the industry and conformity. <br /><br />#RockIsDead #MechanicalAnimals #GunsGodAndGovernment #MarilynManson
