What does the symbol on the "podium" at 'Antichrist Superstar' mean?

It simply means "shock", something Brian Warner, AKA Marilyn Manson, has become quite good at. It is arranged among other symbols in his live performances as a statement of today's America and how we have become, in many ways, like the Nazi Party of Hitler's time. It is all about going to an extreme to awaken those who are so complacent or insouciant that they can not see where we are being led. As this image says. It is self-explanatory. http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc97/MalcoNewYork/mmremixssfo3.jpg Marilyn Manson is a brilliant artist who puts into plain English that which many scholars have been pontificating for centuries. Here is a sample.... re-write the constitution it says define a revolution the end is here if you're a part of the institution you're not a part of the resolution bow down to fear i am the president we own the world i am the king of the world the only good god is a dead god the only god good for me the only good god is a dead god, baby the only damn god i need dont draw your own conclusion submit to the grand illusion get on your knees there will be no absolution no final step of evolution the end is near Chorus your world means nothing to me you say what you think stand on your kings and when you're all done with me fulfill your own prophecy gnaw skin off my teeth Chorus i killed your king of deciet chaos, come onto me, i am free and when you're all done with me consumed by your own f#%$*&g greed you'll see Sep 17 07, 11:52 PM

Antichrist Superstar (written Antichrist Svperstar in several places as an allusion to Latin) is Marilyn Manson's second full-length studio release and was released in 1996. The album raised awareness of the band, and led to numerous protests due to the band's perceived anti-Christian stance. It was produced by the band's leader Manson and Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor. The album's title is a combination of the concept of the Antichrist with the title of the famed musical Jesus Christ Superstar. The influence of the latter can also be seen in the song "Angel with the Scabbed Wings", which features a riff strongly reminiscent of a portion of the Jesus Christ Superstar score. It has elaborate packaging, consisting of a black cardstock sleeve covering the plastic jewel case with graphics of Manson on both the front and back, the latter of which is flanked by the red Superstar Shock logo and the roman numerals IX, VI, III and VII. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist_Superstar Sep 19 07, 8:24 AM
