When Nightmare Before Christmas was rerelased in IMAX theaters in 3D a couple of months ago, Manson was asked to cover the famous opening song. I can't believe I didn't know about this untill now. Anyway, someone made a video that sychs Manson's cover with the openeing of the movie, but it does get slightly off synch in the middle. The song is still worth giving a listen, though. Like or dislike Manson, I think the style goes very well for the song.

It's certainly better than that terrible Panic! At The Disco version.
I knew about this, but I never found it on anything.
It's good, but I think Manson needs to forge about Phantasmagoria (which I have a strange feeling will suck) and go back to music for the love of God because I miss him :(
oh god... I don't even want to know about that.Quote:

I love this song :jess: I have the whole redone soundtrack and the few songs other artist's covered are all pretty good. Panic!'s take on Halloween is my least favorite of them, though :o. And I don't even hate that band like most people do.
Fiona Apple's Sally's Song is delicious. I didn't even really like that song until I listened to her version so many times. Fallout Boy did a good job on What's This too.
Yes. :bigsmile:Quote:

It's sounds like some sort of hodgepodge of lullabye and that quivering-gut style of singing that's the rage these days.Quote:

They wouldn't have asked him to do a cover for the special edition soundtrack if they thought he should be shot.Quote:

Nice try, but no banana.Quote:

Seriously, people always make up bull about manson. Watch manson's MTV Diary, he's actually a really decent person...actually listen to any of his interviews, he's a pretty intelligent person.Quote:

sounds pretty good, and it works with all the little vocal fx he uses (some natural, some artificial) and is known for, i was impressed, defiantealy heavier than the original but that was expected...

I heard this a while ago, and while I like both Manson and the original song, I thought this was lousy.
As far as I know, I've never heard another P!ATD song, so I'm not going to say they're a crappy band. :P I'm just talking about the one song.Quote:

I enjoyed it overall, but about halfway through it starts to all sound the same.
I think he does a wonderful job with this song, but it's not something that I would put on my Best of the Best CD. It's great as the opening song for the show though.
All of the remakes (the ones mentioned plus She Wants Revenge's version of Kidnap the Sandy Claws and Fall Out Boy's version of What's This) were good. Panic!'s version was good, but it just didn't match the movie as well as Manson's version. I'm just upset that no one did Oogie Bogie's song.:(
Great song, could have gone without panic's version though.
I like the original far more. Mainly because of all the character voices...that is if I remember it correctly. It was also more festive and fun.
