I'm not a huge fan, but yes I do like his music more then most other bands. Mechanical animals is probably in my top 10 fav cd's but thats just me.
Unlike sleepy I do really like this voice, it stands out a bit more then the "I can scream into the mic I must be a rock god" type that alot of metal bands have now. No offence to the people that are into though. I do like alot of harder bands but the lead singer just has to have some skill for me to even care.
Plus the people that don't like his apperence are the people that probably aren't really suppose to. I mean guy is ugly as hell with or without his make up..almost even worse without. Its just part of the show and the persona. The good like girls and boys aren't suppose to like it, because if wanted them to he wouldn't be wearing leather and ripping pages out of the bible..he would be reading from it.
