Despite the fact that Tim Sköld is on this album, Eat Me, Drink Me is one of my less favored Marilyn Manson records. Perhaps it is because Sköld handles bass and guitar, John 5 having made his exit by this point, but I found the album to be lacking musically. That is not to say it’s bad; it just falls short of its predecessors.
Still, it’s Marilyn Manson and has its moments, so I have made Eat Me, Drink Me my album of the week.
I can’t believe this is the tenth installment! Thank you to the fans and the bands for the response!

Marilyn Manson — “Long Hard Road Out of Hell”
Marilyn Manson — “The Last Day on Earth”
Marilyn Manson — “King Kill 33°”
Marilyn Manson — “Coma White”
I had not fully appreciated how many songs Marilyn Manson has covered throughout his career — until now. I’m not going to include the ones he performed live that are not somewhere on the internet, because I’ve never heard them. Makes sense, right? 🙂
Here we go, in no particular order.
1. “The KKK Took My Baby Away” (The Ramones)
2. “Golden Years” (David Bowie)
3. “In the Ghetto” (Elvis Presley)
4. “Working Class Hero” (John Lennon)
5. “What Goes Around…Comes Around” (Justin Timberlake)
Guys. He covered Justin Timberlake. Oh my God. ❤
6. “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” (Johnny Cash)
7. “20th Century Boy” (T. Rex)
8. “Down in the Park” (Tubeway Army)
9. “Tainted Love” (Gloria Jones)
10. “Get My Rocks Off” (Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show)
I tried to focus on his less well-known covers, but I had to include “Tainted Love.” It’s just so good! Also, I have a couple of honorable mentions:
“You’re So Vain” (Carly Simon)
“This is Halloween” (Danny Elfman)
