Marilyn Manson
Biography
Love him or hate him, the self-proclaimed "Antichrist Superstar" -- Marilyn Manson -- was indisputably among the most notorious and controversial entertainers of the 1990s. Celebrated by supporters as a crusader for free speech and denounced by detractors as little more than a poor man's Alice Cooper, Manson was the latest in a long line of shock rockers, rising to the top of the charts on a platform of sex, drugs, and Satanism. Though widely dismissed by critics, his brand of metal nevertheless struck a major chord with the youth market, and he became a mainstream anti-hero on the strength of a masterfully orchestrated marketing campaign, much to the chagrin of conservative politicians and concerned parents. Such attention pushed many of his songs -- including "The Dope Show," "The Beautiful People," and a cover of the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" -- into the upper reaches of the modern rock charts during his heyday.
Born Brian Warner, Manson was raised in Canton, OH. At the age of 18, he relocated to Tampa Bay, FL, where he worked as a music journalist. In 1989, he became friends with guitarist and fellow outsider Scott Mitchell; the two soon decided to form a band, with Mitchell rechristening himself Daisy Berkowitz and Warner adopting the name Marilyn Manson.
Selected Discography
he used to be good, but lately his stuff sucks. New record doesn't sound too bad. For a better band, check out Candy Coated Jesus, local Ohio band fronted by Marlyn Manson's cousin Jay Johanning. They rock!

Marilyn Manson is so not the kid from the Wonder Years. His real name is Brian Warner and he was born in Canton, Ohio...which is where I'm also from. Get your gossip straight people.

I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins. Never did I wanna be here again, And I don't remember why I came. Candles raise my desire, Why I'm so far away. No more meaning to my life, No more reason to stay. Freezing, feeling, Breathe in, breathe in... I'm coming back again... I'm not the one who's so far away When I feel the snake bite enter my veins. Never did I wanna be here again, And I don't remember why I came. |

I admit he's good, but I wouldn't consider him a "god"...

I don't mind bands that barely change their sound on each album, but it gets annoying if the original sound was not like GODSMACK. and that's why I hate H.I.M Godsmack, on the other hand, is awesome. |
||
Ig...vampire s are retarded...m e i n e r Meinung nach.
There hasn't been a good vampire story since Dracula...c'mon people, that was 1888...you'd think someone might try to measure up, but no one can. (Chibi Vampire is different because it's a satire...) |
||
I'm too used to dynamic changes...
ps- off topic but... "If I Was Your Vampire" is f**king cool... (and it's not just because vampires are awesome imo) |
||
Godsmack changed their sound alot from album to album. They just dident change their vocals.
