Fans of The Lost Boys will no doubt be familiar with G Tom Mac's "Cry Little Sister", and the song was recently covered by rock superstar Marilyn Manson.

Although the official video has actually been online for almost 2 weeks, it's only just come to light that Manson's version will be a part of the soundtrack for Josh Boone's The New Mutants.

The cover is very similar to the original, which is definitely not a bad thing!

Have a look and a listen and let us know what you think. The New Mutants is currently scheduled to hit theaters in August of next year.

Really don't like Manson, but with what this movie is going for....this definitely works. We'll see how it plays out in the actual film (if it actually happens lol).

This is a really good song though. Like the original a little better, but Manson does it justice.

Garbage. The aiden cover is pretty good though.

I love Marilyn Manson. One of the last true rock stars before the genre went onto life support. This was a good cover, but not as good as Sweet Dreams Are Made of This and Personal Jesus.

@blackandyellow - Life support? Dude, rock is dead. Died. Sadly. My kids listen to hip hop, rap, and pop (and pop is no longer rock-based). I was thinking this morning that the electric guitar will no longer be played at all in 10 to 15 years. In a hundred years, some teen will be inside an antiquities store, pick up a guitar sitting on a stand, and think, "What can this strange device be? When I touch it ... it gives forth a sound ... its got wires that vibrate, and give music ... what can this thing be that I found?"

@blackandyellow - His version of Sweet Dreams was amazing love Manson. This is also a great cover. Disposable Teens was one of my favorite Manson songs along with Rock is Dead

@GeneralZod - 2112, [frick] yeah man!
Rock isn’t dead though, it’s just not popular with the teeming masses or many kids, which are the same people worshipping Kardashians and hashtagging everything. But rock was never for those people anyway. Even at some times when rock was still really prominent it wasn’t the most popular. Teenage girls have always ruled what’s popular. Disco, madonna, shit like that was top 10 when some of the greats were still in their prime.
You just gotta know where to look today. There are some great rock acts just getting started. Kaleo is a good example that kicked ass recently.

@GeneralZod - Interesting how you think that the electric guitar will be pretty much gone in a decade but you still think there'll be people going to stores 100 years from now.

@connorblaze - I will check out Kaleo, thanks.

@GeneralZod - Kirk Hammett said something similar about guitars in a recent interview, but I disagree. People said the same thing about drums and bass in the '80s, when artists started using digital drum programs and synth and keytars for bass lines, but then the '90s came along and proved them wrong.

And modern naysayers will be proved wrong, too. True musicianship will never die. You look at a band like Ghost, for instance, whose theatrical style would lend itself easily to all-digital instrumentation, yet they use real drums, real guitars, real bass. And, occult/satanic lyrics notwithstanding, those guys rock.

I also disagree that rock is dead. Like any musical genre it goes in cycles. People thought it died out in the '70s when all the southern rock bands started sounding the same, then came metal; people thought metal died in the late '80s/early '90s, then came Nirvana. People alt-rock died out in the late '90s/early '00s, then came bands like System of a Down and Disturbed.

Believe me, people will tire of this whole digital music/Millenial Whoop nonsense, and rock will make a comeback.

@LoudLon - Well said. As a man from that era, I totally agree.

@blackandyellow - IMO, rock music, which evolved from the blues, died before Manson came onto the scene. Sure, there have been some good rock bands in the 90s and 2000s, but they just don't compare to the 70s and 80s rock and metal.

@LoudLon - The problem is that only a tiny number of kids under 15 are picking up physical instruments and really learning how to play. As the years recede, you've got fewer and fewer new rock influences on radio, YT, other sources to influence these younger kids. The sounds they hear are all synthetic but, that's the least of it -- more important, what they hear isn't rock-based. Listen to pop music today, there is almost nothing 4/4 rock. It's singers singing something they wrote and then the producer puts a synthetic track in the back (Bruno Mars is a rare exception). Keep doing this year after year after year, and you're losing more and more kids born after 2005 from having any serious interest in picking up a physical instrument. Getting a garage band together where kids get into the equivalent of a musical lab to push each other? Forget it. I ask my son who else plays rock in his middle school (he plays bass), he says no one. Says kids only listen to hip hop and rap. Rock music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and early 90s is interesting to listen to, he will say, but it's something from the past. Not relevant today. I'm just passing along what I'm being told.

@GeneralZod - My daughter's the opposite. She's all about old school metal. LOVES Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Dokken, Venom. Currently she's exploring Norwegian death metal LOL

Anyway, she keeps me informed on new metal bands (so many sub-genres today I lose track) and I point her in the direction of older acts I think she might like. For instance, she recently turned me on to Ghost (which is why I mentioned them) and I turned her on to Type O Negative.

Also, she wants badly to learn guitar. She has an acoustic but she's kind of petite and can't really hold the strings well, and has expressed interest in trying out an electric instead. I'm considering giving her an old Hamer Slammer electric I've had since '99 (I've always been more into bass than guitar anyway) and her 17th birthday is coming up, so...

Anyway. Yeah, I get that a lot of kids today are growing up on digitized music, and my daughter herself laments how no other kids in school are into the kind of music that she is, but even if only one kid out of ten prefers real instruments over digital, that's enough to keep it alive.

Ha, curious. Heard it and wasn't quite sure why we needed this cover. As for New Mutants - I was once looking forward to it, but right now I don't really care anymore. Which still puts this above Dark Phoenix on my anticipation list.

Was just watching a video yesterday from the late 90's early 00's of Manson on one of those talk shows - talking about moshing and what it means to people. Never been a huge fan (I like some of his songs) but man gotta respect the guy that can talk so intelligently in front of a bunch of herded morons. I always enjoyed his ideas and outlook, it's very frank and devoid of bullshit.

I was a kid when The Lost Boys came out and Cry Little Sister was a pretty bad ass song. I like the old version way better but hey whatever. The original soundtrack for The Lost Boys is phenomenal.

The Seasons After version is better. Still pretty good though.

@n1ghtw1ng2832 - it's so much better! They should have used that version instead of this weird one.

Great!

Now if only the release of this song correlated with the film's release, which is 1 year 1 month from now LOL

That was horrible. I’ll stick to the original.

@Ronan3Accuser - try the seasons after take on it. Pretty dang good.
RancidBane
RancidBane - 7/9/2018, 7:55 AM
They should have used the Seasons After version. Way better take on this classic song.

VASTLY inferior to the original. This almost sucks, but part of why I feel this way is because it lacks context. New Mutants won't be released until August of next year, if at all (I'm willing to bet it's going straight to home release), so within the frame of the picture, this cover may work better. On its own, it's almost garbage.

This is funny because I've always thought that Manson's "The Nobodies" would fit perfectly in an X-men film.
TheSanitizer

Manson has always been big pile of cheese. Trying to be scary and deep and dark. It’s so lame.
He’s more about the corny theatrics than actual talent in singing and music.
His make-up tries to hide that fact that he’s just a tall gangly dork and the production covers the lack of talent.

I will say tho he’s a very intelligent guy, I like how he deals with his interviews, calm and well-informed.
Lostcause
Lostcause - 7/9/2018, 8:12 AM
@TheSanitizer - He's doing something right. Still. He's come a long way. I met him in Lakeland FL in '95. It was a good night.
Radders
Radders - 7/9/2018, 8:22 AM
@TheSanitizer - He was married to Dita Von Teese, so props to him :-)

I'm not a huge fan, he's done a few really good tracks but I can see your point about theatrics above talent has validity. I don't think this is a great cover, the production's a bit trad and his ropey singing/style detracts rather than enchances
TheSanitizer
TheSanitizer - 7/9/2018, 8:31 AM
@Lostcause -
Yeah, my experience was a tad different.
I met him and his band after they had a show in Houston back the mid-90s, and he just acted like he was just too cool and mysterious to be bothered with. It was such an obvious act.
And his band mates were just insanely full of themselves.
I remember just rolling my eyes.
