REVIEWS
Amazon Customer Review
God is in the TV contains all of Marilyn Manson's music videos (up until 1999) and a collection of concert footage and behind the scenes shenanigans. Starting off with the excellent video for "Coma White" (which features Manson and then love Rose McGowen) and moving it's way backwards through the years as an almost de-evolution of Manson and his band. The standout videos are "Long Hard Road Out of Hell" (from the Spawn soundtrack), "Man That You Fear", and the classic "Lunchbox". After the videos we are treated to some live segments from the "Rock is Dead" tour, plus some backstage shenanigans that are nothing short of disturbing, disgusting, and hilarious. All in all, God is in the TV is an absolute must own for any and every Manson fan.
