- Perceval 16y agoMarilyn Manson used the voice on certain tracks on Antichrist Superstar. According to Wikipedia: The song "Man That You Fear" by Marilyn Manson ends with the MacInTalk voices repeating, "When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed". Also, during live performances of "Antichrist Superstar", the MacInTalk voices repeat "You might as well kill yourself - you're already dead" at the end of the song. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlainTalk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlainTalk
