Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), known professionally as Marilyn Manson, is an American rock musician. He came to prominence as the lead singer of the band that shares his name, of which he remains the only constant member since its formation in 1989. Known for his controversial stage personality and public image, his stage name (like the other founding members of the band) was formed by combining the names of two opposing American cultural icons: actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson.

Manson is best known for music released in the 1990s, including the albums Portrait of an American Family (1994), Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998), which earned him a reputation in mainstream media as a controversial figure and negative influence on young people when combined with his public image.[1][2] In the U.S. alone, three of the band’s albums have been awarded platinum status and three more went gold, and the band has had eight releases debut in the top 10, including two No. 1 albums. Manson has been ranked at No. 44 on the list of the «Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists» by Hit Parader and, along with his band, has been nominated for four Grammy Awards–Manson himself earned an additional Grammy nomination for his work on Kanye West’s Donda. Manson made his film debut as an actor in David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997), and has since appeared in a variety of minor roles and cameos. In 2002, his first art show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions center.

He is widely considered one of the most controversial figures in heavy metal music, and has been involved in numerous controversies throughout his career. His lyrics were criticized by American politicians and were examined in congressional hearings. Several U.S. states enacted legislation specifically banning the group from performing in state-operated venues. In 1999, news media falsely blamed Manson for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. His work has been cited in several other violent events; his paintings and films appeared as evidence in a murder trial, and he has been accused of inspiring several other murders and school shootings. In 2021, multiple women accused Manson of psychologically and sexually abusing them, allegations he denied.[3]

Early life

Brian Hugh Warner was born in Canton, Ohio, on January 5, 1969,[4] the son of Barbara Warner Wyer (died May 13, 2014)[5] and Hugh Angus Warner (died July 7, 2017).[6][7] He is of English, German, Irish, and Polish descent,[8][9] and has also claimed that his mother’s family (who hailed from the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia) had Sioux heritage.[10] As a child, he attended his mother’s Episcopal church, though his father was a Roman Catholic.[11][12] He attended Heritage Christian School from first to tenth grade. In that school, his instructors tried to show children what music they were not supposed to listen to; Warner then fell in love with what he «wasn’t supposed to.»[13] Warner later transferred to GlenOak High School and graduated from there in 1987. After relocating with his parents, he became a student at Broward Community College in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1990. He was working towards a degree in journalism, gaining experience in the field by writing articles for the music magazine 25th Parallel.[14] He also interviewed musicians and soon met several of the musicians to whom his own work was later compared, including Groovie Mann from My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, with the latter later becoming his mentor and producing his debut album.[15]

Career

Music

The band was formed in 1989 by Warner and guitarist Scott Putesky,[16][17] with Warner writing lyrics and Putesky composing the majority of music.[18] Warner adopted the stage name Marilyn Manson and, alongside a revolving lineup of musicians, recorded the band’s first demo tape as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids in 1990.[19][20] The group quickly developed a loyal fanbase within the South Florida punk and hardcore music scene, primarily as a result of their intentionally shocking concerts; band members often performed in women’s clothing or bizarre costumes, and live shows routinely featured amateur pyrotechnics, naked women nailed to crucifixes, children locked in cages,[21][22] as well as experiments in reverse psychology and butchered animals remains.[N 1] Within six months of forming, they were playing sold-out shows in 300-capacity nightclubs throughout Florida.[24] They signed a record deal with Sony Music in early 1991, although this deal was rescinded before any material was recorded for the label. The band instead used the proceeds of this deal to fund the recording of subsequent demo tapes, which were released independently.[25]

The name of the group was shortened to Marilyn Manson in 1992, and they continued to perform and release cassettes until the summer of 1993,[21] when Reznor signed the act to his vanity label Nothing Records.[26] Their debut studio album, Portrait of an American Family, was released in July 1994.[27] Manson later criticized Nothing Records and its parent label Interscope for a perceived lack of promotion.[N 2] While recording b-sides and remixes for the album’s proposed third single, «Dope Hat», the band decided to issue the resultant material as a standalone release titled Smells Like Children.[29] The record included their cover version of the Eurythmics’s «Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)», which established the band as a mainstream act.[26][30] The song’s music video was placed on heavy rotation on MTV,[31] and earned the band their first nomination for Best Rock Video at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards.[32] Their second studio album, 1996’s Antichrist Superstar, sparked a fierce backlash among Christian fundamentalists.[33] The album was an immediate commercial success, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200 and selling almost 2 million copies in the United States alone,[34][35] and 7 million copies worldwide.[36][37] Lead single «The Beautiful People» received three nominations at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards,[38] where the band also performed.[39]

For 1998’s Mechanical Animals, Manson said he took inspiration from 1970s glam rock, and adopted a wardrobe and hairstyle similar to David Bowie.[40] He said he did this to avoid being portrayed as a «bogeyman», a role which had been ascribed to him by mainstream media following the band’s commercial breakthrough.[33] Interscope’s promotion of the album was massive,[41] with the label erecting enormous billboards of Manson as an androgynous extraterrestrial in Times Square and the Sunset Strip.[40] Lead single «The Dope Show» was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards.[42] The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[43] but was the lowest-selling number-one album of 1998 in the United States,[44] with sales of 1.4 million copies in the country as of 2017.[45] The album was not well received by longtime fans, who complained about its radio-friendly sound and accused the vocalist of «selling out»,[46] and Interscope were reportedly disappointed with its commercial performance.[N 3]

Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was a return to the band’s industrial metal roots after the glam-influenced Mechanical Animals,[48] and was the vocalist’s response to media coverage blaming him for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. The album was a critical success, with numerous publications praising it as the band’s finest work.[49] Despite being certified gold in the United States for shipments in excess of half a million units,[50] mainstream media openly questioned the band’s commercial appeal, noting the dominance of nu metal and controversial hip hop artists such as Eminem.[51][52] A cover of «Tainted Love» was an international hit in 2002, peaking at number one in several territories.[53]

The Golden Age of Grotesque was released the following year, an album primarily inspired by the swing and burlesque movements of 1920s Berlin.[54] In an extended metaphor found throughout the record, Manson compared his own often-criticized work to the Entartete Kunst banned by the Nazi regime.[55] Like Mechanical Animals in 1998, The Golden Age of Grotesque debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[34] but was the lowest-selling studio album to debut at number one that year, selling 527,000 copies in the United States as of 2008.[44] The album was more successful in Europe, where it sold over 400,000 on its first week of release to debut at number one on Billboard‘s European Top 100 Albums.[56] Manson began his collaboration with French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier during this period, who designed much of the elaborate attire worn by the band on the supporting «Grotesk Burlesk Tour».[57] The greatest hits compilation Lest We Forget: The Best Of was released in 2004.[58]

«He’s very savvy in that he lets people think things about him or plays into things to see what will happen, almost like a performance artist. He’s a visionary in a way, because he identified a culture that was coming and now that culture is everywhere.»

—Billy Corgan on Marilyn Manson, 2014[59]

After a three-year hiatus, in which the vocalist pursued other interests,[60] the band returned with 2007’s Eat Me, Drink Me. The album’s lyrical content largely related to the dissolution of Manson’s marriage to Dita Von Teese and his affair with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood.[61] Seventh studio album The High End of Low was released in 2009, and was their final album issued by Interscope. While promoting the record, Manson made a series of disparaging comments about the label and its artistic censorship, as well as its president Jimmy Iovine.[62] Manson signed a lucrative recording contract with British independent record label Cooking Vinyl in 2011, with the band and label sharing profits equally after the label recouped costs associated with marketing, promotion and distribution.[63] The first album released under the deal was 2012’s Born Villain.[64] Lead single «No Reflection» earned the band their fourth Grammy nomination.[42] Subsequent albums were released in the United States by Loma Vista Recordings, beginning with 2015’s The Pale Emperor, which was widely seen as a return to form[65][66] and was a commercial success upon release.[67][68]

Heaven Upside Down followed in 2017,[69] with its single «Kill4Me» becoming the band’s highest-peaking single ever on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock.[70] While touring in support of the record, Manson was injured by two large falling stage props as he performed on stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, breaking his fibula in two places, requiring a plate and ten screws to be inserted in the bone, as well as another screw in his ankle, which he had sprained during a show in Pittsburgh.[71][72] «God’s Gonna Cut You Down» was released as a non-album single in 2019,[73][74] and is the band’s highest-peaking single on Billboard‘s Hot Rock Songs and Rock Digital Songs.[75][76] Their most recent studio album, 2020’s We Are Chaos, was the band’s tenth top ten release on the Billboard 200.[77]

According to Nielsen SoundScan, the band sold 8.7 million albums alone in the United States as of 2011.[63] Three of their albums received platinum awards from the Recording Industry Association of America, and a further three received gold certifications.[78] Ten of their releases debuted in the top ten of the Billboard 200, including two number-one albums.[77] In the United Kingdom, the band are certified for sales of almost 1.75 million units.[79] Marilyn Manson has sold over 50 million records worldwide.[80][81][82][83]

Musical collaborations

In addition to his work with the band, Manson has collaborated extensively with other musicians.[84] Cello rock act Rasputina opened for the band throughout the «Dead to the World Tour», the controversial tour supporting Antichrist Superstar.[85] Lead vocalist Melora Creager performed cello and backing vocals for the band, most notably for renditions of «Apple of Sodom», a live version of which appeared as a b-side on Manson’s 1998 single «The Dope Show».[86] Manson also created three remixes of the song «Transylvanian Concubine», two of which appeared on their 1997 EP Transylvanian Regurgitations.[87] Manson befriended The Smashing Pumpkins vocalist Billy Corgan in 1997,[88] and performed renditions of «Eye» and «The Beautiful People» alongside that band at the 1997 edition of Bridge School Benefit concert.[89] Manson frequently consulted Corgan during the early stages of recording Mechanical Animals. Referring to its inclusion of glam rock influences, Corgan advised Manson that «This is definitely the right direction» but to «go all the way with it. Don’t just hint at it».[90] In 2015, Marilyn Manson and the Smashing Pumpkins embarked on a co-healining tour titled «The End Times Tour».[91]

To promote Mechanical Animals in 1998, the band embarked on their first co-headlining concert tour: the «Beautiful Monsters Tour» with Hole.[92] The tour was problematic,[93] with Manson and Hole vocalist Courtney Love frequently insulting one another both on-stage and during interviews.[94] Private disputes also arose over finances, as Hole were unwittingly financing most of Manson’s production costs, which were disproportionately high relative to Hole’s.[95] The tour was to consist of thirty-seven dates,[92] although Hole left after nine.[94] When Hole departed from the tour, it was renamed the «Rock Is Dead Tour», with Jack Off Jill announced as one of the support acts.[96] Manson had produced many of Jack Off Jill’s demo recordings in the early 90s, and later wrote the liner notes to their 2006 compilation Humid Teenage Mediocrity 1992–1996.[97][98]

Manson launched his own vanity label in 2000, Posthuman Records.[99] The label released two albums – the 2000 soundtrack to Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 and Godhead’s 2001 album 2000 Years of Human Error – before being dissolved in 2003.[100] The latter album sold over 100,000 copies in the United States,[101] and featured him performing vocals on the track «Break You Down».[102] He performed vocals on «Redeemer», a song written by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis that featured on the 2002 album Queen of the Damned: Music from the Motion Picture.[103] Davis had been prevented from singing the song due to contractual issues with his record label.[104] Manson also contributed a remix of the Linkin Park song «By Myself» to that band’s remix album Reanimation,[105] and collaborated with Marco Beltrami to create the score for the 2002 film Resident Evil.[106]

He performed vocals on the Chew Fu GhettoHouse Fix remix of Lady Gaga’s «LoveGame», which was featured as a b-side on the song’s single in 2008.[107] He was a featured vocalist on «Can’t Haunt Me»,[108] a track recorded in 2011 for Skylar Grey’s unreleased album Invinsible.[109] He appeared on «Bad Girl», a song from Avril Lavigne’s 2013 self-titled album,[84] and featured on the song «Hypothetical» from Emigrate’s 2014 album Silent So Long.[110] New Orleans brass ensemble the Soul Rebels performed «The Beautiful People» alongside Manson at the 2015 edition of the Japanese Summer Sonic Festival.[111] Manson recorded vocals on a cover of Bowie’s «Cat People (Putting Out Fire)» for country musician Shooter Jennings’s 2016 album Countach (For Giorgio).[112][113] The two were introduced in 2013 by Manson’s then-bassist Twiggy Ramirez,[114] and the pair first collaborated that same year on a song for the soundtrack to television series Sons of Anarchy.[115] Their version of the song, «Join the Human Gang», remains unreleased, but the track was eventually rewritten and released by The White Buffalo as «Come Join the Murder».[114] Jennings later produced Manson’s 2020 album We Are Chaos.[114]

Manson has collaborated with numerous hip hop artists. In 1998, he featured on «The Omen (Damien II)», a track on DMX’s album Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood.[116][117] Following the Columbine High School massacre, Manson was mentioned in the lyrics to Eminem’s «The Way I Am» from The Marshall Mathers LP, in the lyric «When a dude’s getting bullied and he shoots up the school and they blame it on Marilyn». Manson appeared in the song’s music video, and a remix created by Danny Lohner and featuring Manson appeared on special editions of The Marshall Mathers LP. Manson also joined Eminem on-stage for several live performances of the track, one of which featured on Eminem’s 2002 video album All Access Europe.[118] He featured on «Pussy Wet», a song on Gucci Mane’s 2013 mixtape Diary of a Trap God,[119] and provided vocals on the song «Marilyn Manson» on the 2020 mixtape Floor Seats II by ASAP Ferg.[120][121]

Alongside DaBaby, Manson co-wrote and was a featured artist on «Jail pt 2», a song on Kanye West’s 2021 album Donda.[122] Manson and DaBaby appeared alongside West at several events promoting the album, including at a listening event held at Soldier Field in August, and at one of West’s Sunday Church Services in October.[123][124] The appearances attracted significant media attention and controversy.[125] West said the trio collaborated on a total of five songs.[122] The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, which entitled Manson to a co-nomination credit for his work on the song.[126][127] Manson continued his collaboration with West for the follow-up album, Donda 2.[128] West collaborator Digital Nas said Manson was in the recording studio «every day» while the album was recorded, and explained that West «doesn’t want Marilyn to play rap beats. He wants Marilyn to play what he makes, and then Ye will take parts of that and sample parts of that and use parts of that, like he did [generally when making] Yeezus.»[129] Manson band-member Tim Skold has confirmed he was involved in the process.[130]

While with The Spooky Kids, Manson teamed with Jeordie White (also known as Twiggy Ramirez) and Stephen Gregory Bier Jr. (also known as Madonna Wayne Gacy) in two side-projects: Satan on Fire, a faux-Christian metal ensemble where he played bass guitar, and drums in Mrs. Scabtree, a collaborative band formed with White and then girlfriend Jessicka (vocalist with the band Jack Off Jill) as a way to combat contractual agreements that prohibited Marilyn Manson from playing in certain clubs.[citation needed]

Film and television

Manson made his film debut in 1997, as an actor in David Lynch’s Lost Highway. Since then he has appeared in many minor roles and cameos, including Party Monster; then-girlfriend Rose McGowan’s 1999 film Jawbreaker; Asia Argento’s 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things; Rise; The Hire: Beat The Devil, the sixth installment in the BMW films series; and Showtime’s comedy-drama TV series Californication in 2013, in which Manson portrayed himself. He also appeared on HBO’s Eastbound & Down,[131] of which Manson is reportedly a longtime fan,[132] and had lobbied to appear on for years; and ABC’s Once Upon a Time, for which he provided the voice of the character «Shadow».[133]

He was interviewed in Michael Moore’s political documentary Bowling for Columbine (2002) discussing possible motivations for the Columbine massacre and allegations that his music was somehow a factor.[citation needed] He has appeared in animated form in Clone High and participated in several episodes of the MTV series Celebrity Deathmatch, becoming the show’s unofficial champion and mascot; he often performed the voice for his claymated puppet, and contributed the song «Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes» to the soundtrack album.[citation needed] In July 2005, Manson told Rolling Stone that he was shifting his focus from music to filmmaking – «I just don’t think the world is worth putting music into right now. I no longer want to make art that other people – particularly record companies – are turning into a product. I just want to make art.»[citation needed] Johnny Depp reportedly used Manson as his inspiration for his performance as Willy Wonka in the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.[134] Manson himself expressed interest in playing the role of Willy Wonka in the film.[135]

He had been working on his directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, a project that has been in development hell since 2004, with Manson also set to portray the role of Lewis Carroll, author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Initially announced as a web-only release, it was later decided to give the estimated $4.2 million budget film a conventional cinema release, with a slated release date of mid-2007. The film was to have an original music soundtrack with previously unreleased songs.[136] Production of the film had been postponed indefinitely until after the Eat Me, Drink Me tour.[137] In 2010, studio bosses shut down production on the project, reportedly due to viewers’ responses to the violent content of clips released on the internet. The film was later officially put on «indefinite production hold».[138]

However, according to a 2010 interview with co-writer Anthony Silva about the hold, the film was still on and the talk of it being shut down was just a myth.[139]
In a June 2013 interview, Manson stated that he had «resurrected» the project, and that Roger Avary would direct it.[140] In a separate interview during the previous year, he said a small crew similar to what he used for his «Slo-Mo-Tion» music video would be used, and would rather film the movie on an iPhone than not film it at all. In a Reddit AMA with Billy Corgan on April 4, 2015, Manson commented that he had withdrawn from the project because the writing process for the film was «so… damaging to my psyche, I’ve decided I don’t want to have anything to do with it», and further commented that the only footage that had been created thus far had been content created for the trailer, which was made in order to promote the film.[141][142]

Manson appeared in the final season of the TV series Sons of Anarchy, portraying white supremacist Ron Tully.[143] In January 2016, it was announced that Manson would be joining the cast for season 3 of WGN’s Salem. He played Thomas Dinley, a barber and surgeon described as «the go-to man in Salem, from a shave and a haircut to being leeched, bled, sliced open or sewn up».[144] In 2020, Manson was a guest star on the HBO television series The New Pope, in which he has a personal audience with the series’ Pope and recommends that he visit the prior Pope that lies unconscious in a coma.[145]

Art

Manson as Mechanical Animals‘ antagonist/character «Omega»

Manson stated in a 2004 interview with i-D magazine to have begun his career as a watercolor painter in 1999 when he made five-minute concept pieces and sold them to drug dealers. On September 13–14, 2002, his first show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions Centre. Art in America‘s Max Henry likened them to the works of a «psychiatric patient given materials to use as therapy» and said his work would never be taken seriously in a fine art context, writing that the value was «in their celebrity, not the work».[146] On September 14–15, 2004, Manson held a second exhibition on the first night in Paris and the second in Berlin. The show was named ‘Trismegistus’ which was also the title of the center piece of the exhibit – a large, three-headed Christ painted onto an antique wood panel from a portable embalmers table.

Manson named his self-proclaimed art movement Celebritarian Corporation. He has coined a slogan for the movement: «We will sell our shadow to those who stand within it.» In 2005 he said that the Celebritarian Corporation has been «incubating for seven years» which if correct would indicate that Celebritarian Corporation, in some form, started in 1998.[147] Celebritarian Corporation is also the namesake of an art gallery owned by Manson, called the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art in Los Angeles for which his third exhibition was the inaugural show. From April 2–17, 2007, his works were on show at the Space 39 Modern & Contemporary art gallery in Fort Myers, Florida. Forty pieces from this show traveled to Germany’s Gallery Brigitte Schenk in Cologne to be publicly exhibited from June 28 – July 28, 2007. Manson revealed a series of 20 paintings in 2010 entitled Genealogies of Pain, an exhibition showcased at Vienna’s Kunsthalle gallery which the artist collaborated on with David Lynch.[148]

Video games

Manson has made an appearance in the video game Area 51 as Edgar, a grey alien. His song «Cruci-Fiction in Space» is featured in a commercial for the video game, The Darkness. His likeness is also featured on the Celebrity Deathmatch video game for which he recorded a song for the soundtrack (2003). The song «Use Your Fist and Not Your Mouth» was the credits score of the game Cold Fear as well as Spawn: Armageddon. The song «Four Rusted Horses» had an alternate version used in trailers for the video game Fear 3. A remix of the song «Tainted Love» appears in the debut trailer for the 2010 video game, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and in the launch trailer of the 2012 video game Twisted Metal. Manson’s song «The Beautiful People» was featured in WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth, KickBeat and Brütal Legend. The song «Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon» is also featured in Saints Row: The Third. His music video to the song «Personal Jesus» was used in some parts of the Buzz! game series.[citation needed]

Other ventures

Manson launched «Mansinthe», his own brand of Swiss-made absinthe, which has received mixed reviews; some critics described the taste as being «just plain»,[150] but it came second to Versinthe in an Absinthe top five[151] and won a gold medal at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.[152] Other reviewers, such as critics at The Wormwood Society, have given the absinthe moderately high praise.[153] In 2015, Manson stated he was no longer drinking absinthe.[154][155]

Vocal style

Manson predominantly delivers lyrics in a melodic fashion,[156] although he invariably enhances his vocal register by utilizing several extended vocal techniques, such as vocal fry,[157] screaming,[158] growling[159] and crooning.[160][161] In one interview he claimed his voice has five different tones,[162] which mixing engineer Robert Carranza discovered can form a pentagram when imported into a phrasal analyzer.[163][164] He possesses a baritone vocal type,[165] and has a vocal range which spans three octaves.[166] His lowest bass note of A1 can be heard in «Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon», while his highest note, an E6 — the first note of the whistle register — can be heard on the Born Villain song «Hey, Cruel World…».[167]

Charles Manson, 1968

The name «Marilyn Manson» juxtaposes Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson—a sex symbol and a mass murderer, respectively, both of whom became American cultural icons.

The name Marilyn Manson is formed by a juxtaposition of two opposing American pop cultural icons: Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson.[168] Monroe, an actress, was one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and continues to be a major icon over 50 years after,[169] while Manson, a cult leader, was responsible for the murder of actress Sharon Tate, as well as several others; and served a life sentence on murder and conspiracy charges until his death in 2017.[170][171]

Manson was a culture war agitator for our side, someone willing to jar and frighten the fuck out of the power structures that seemed there to keep teenagers in their place … and his tactics made him a target, both of mass-culture disdain and of superior alt-culture snark. All that was by design. He put himself out there to take those attacks. And on some level, he’s a saint for that.

—Stereogum on Marilyn Manson.[172]

Manson has mentioned on at least two occasions that he trademarked the name Marilyn Manson. In an interview at the 2015 Cannes Lions Festival, he said: «I trademarked the name ‘Marilyn Manson’ the same way as Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. It’s not a stage name. It’s not my legal name. … Marilyn Manson is owned by Brian Warner, my real name.»[173] He also mentioned this in a 2013 interview with Larry King.[174] The records of the United States Patent and Trademark Office show that he registered four trademarks of the name between 1994 and 1999, protecting entertainment services, merchandising and branding.[175][176][177][178]

Manson says he used those trademark registrations to issue cease and desist orders to media outlets who wrongly blamed him for the Columbine High School massacre. One journalist had erroneously reported the shooters were «wearing Marilyn Manson makeup and t-shirts», although the reports were soon proved incorrect.[173] However, Manson said, «Once the wheels started spinning, Fox News started going.»[173] As a result of these accusations, Manson’s career was seriously harmed: He was shunned by many venue owners and received numerous death threats.[179]

Manson generally uses the name in lieu of his birth name. Though his mother referred to him by his birth name of Brian, his father opted to refer to his son as simply «Manson» since about 1993, saying, «It’s called respect of the artist.»[180]

Lawsuits

In September 1996, former bassist Gidget Gein negotiated a settlement with Manson where he would receive US$17,500 and 20 percent of any royalties paid for recordings and for any songs he had a hand in writing and his share of any other royalties or fees the group earned while he was a member and he could market himself as a former member of Marilyn Manson. This settlement was not honored, however.[181]

Former guitarist and founding member Scott Putesky (a.k.a. Daisy Berkowitz) filed a $15 million lawsuit in a Fort Lauderdale court against the singer, the band and the band’s attorney (David Codikow) in January 1998 after his departure from the group in the spring of 1996. Berkowitz claimed «thousands of dollars in royalties, publishing rights, and performance fees» and filed an attorney malpractice suit against Codikow, alleging that «Codikow represented Warner’s interests more than the band’s and … gave Warner disproportionate control..»[182][183] By October of that year, the suit had been settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.[184]

On November 30, 1998, a few days after the band accumulated «[a] total [of] more than $25,000» in backstage and hotel room damages during the Poughkeepsie, New York, stop of their Mechanical Animals Tour,[185] SPIN editor Craig Marks filed a $24-million lawsuit against Manson and his bodyguards. On February 19, 1999, Manson counter-sued Marks for libel, slander and defamation, seeking US$40 million in reparation.[186] Marks later dropped the lawsuit.[187] Manson apologized for the Poughkeepsie incident and offered to make financial restitution.[188][189]

In a civil battery suit, David Diaz, a security officer from a concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on October 27, 2000, sued for US$75,000 in a Minneapolis federal court.[190] The federal court jury found in Manson’s favor.[191] In a civil suit presented by Oakland County, Michigan, Manson was charged with sexual misconduct against another security officer, Joshua Keasler, during a concert in Clarkston, Michigan, on July 30, 2001. Oakland County originally filed assault and battery and criminal sexual misconduct charges,[192] but the judge reduced the latter charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.[193] Manson pleaded no contest to the reduced charges, paid a US$4,000 fine,[194] and later settled the lawsuit under undisclosed terms.[195]

On April 3, 2002, Maria St. John filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Manson of providing her adult daughter, Jennifer Syme, with cocaine and instructing her to drive while under the influence.[196] After attending a party at Manson’s house, Syme was given a lift home;[197] Manson claims she was taken home by a designated driver.[196] After she got home, she got behind the wheel of her own vehicle and was killed when she crashed it into three parked cars. Manson is reported to have said there were no alcohol or other drugs at the party; St. John’s lawyer disputed this claim.[196]

On August 2, 2007, former band member Stephen Bier filed a lawsuit against Manson for unpaid «partnership proceeds», seeking $20 million in back pay. Several details from the lawsuit leaked to the press.[198][199] In December 2007, Manson countersued, claiming that Bier failed to fulfill his duties as a band member to play for recordings and to promote the band.[200] On December 28, 2009, the suit was settled with an agreement which saw Bier’s attorneys being paid a total of $380,000.[201]

Philanthropy

Manson has supported various charitable causes throughout his career. In 2002, he worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to collaborate with a fan who had been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. 16-year-old Andrew Baines from Tennessee was invited into the band’s recording studio to record backing vocals for their then-upcoming album, The Golden Age of Grotesque. Manson said on his website, «Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with Andrew, who reminded me the things I create are only made complete by those who enjoy them. I just want to simply say, thank you to Andrew for sharing such an important wish with me.»[202][203] He contributed to Oxfam’s 2013 «Rumble in the Jumble» event, which raised money to aid victims of domestic and sexual abuse in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[204] He has supported various organizations – such as Music for Life and Little Kids Rock — which enable access to musical instruments and education to children of low-income families. He has also worked with Project Nightlight, a group that encourages children and teenagers to speak out against physical and sexual abuse.[205] In 2019, he performed alongside Cyndi Lauper at her annual ‘Home for the Holidays’ benefit concert, with all proceeds donated to Lauper’s True Colors United, which «works to develop solutions to youth homelessness that focus on the unique experiences of LGBTQ young people».[206][207]

Personal life

Relationships

Manson is heterosexual.[208] He was engaged to actress Rose McGowan from February 1999 to January 2001. McGowan later ended their engagement, citing «lifestyle differences.»[209]

Manson and burlesque dancer, model, and costume designer Dita Von Teese became a couple in 2001. He proposed on March 22, 2004, and they were married in a private, non-denominational ceremony officiated by Chilean film director Alejandro Jodorowsky.[210] On December 30, 2006, Von Teese filed for divorce due to «irreconcilable differences».[211] Von Teese also eventually stated she did not agree with Manson’s «partying or his relationship with another girl».[212] Manson’s «heavy boozing» and distant behavior were also cited as cause for the split.[213] A judgment of divorce was entered in Los Angeles Superior Court on December 27, 2007.[214]

Manson’s relationship with actress, model, and musician Evan Rachel Wood was made public in 2007.[215] They reportedly maintained an on-again, off-again relationship for several years. He proposed to Wood during a Paris stage performance in January 2010, but the couple broke off the engagement later that year.[216]

In the March 2012 issue of Revolver magazine, American photographer Lindsay Usich was referred to as Manson’s girlfriend. The article referenced a new painting by him featuring her. Usich is credited as the photo source for the cover art of Manson’s 2012 album, Born Villain. It was later confirmed that the two were romantically involved.[217] In February 2015, Manson told Beat magazine that he is «newly single».[218]

In October 2020, Manson revealed in an interview with Nicolas Cage on ABC News Radio that he was married in a private ceremony during the COVID-19 pandemic.[219] The person he married was revealed to be Usich after she changed her social media name to «Lindsay Elizabeth Warner».[220]

Manson is the godfather of Lily-Rose Depp.[221]

Beliefs

Manson claims he was a friend of Anton LaVey,[222] and early on had also claimed LaVey inducted him as a minister in the Church of Satan. Later in his career, Manson downplayed this, saying he was «not necessarily» a minister: «that was something earlier… it was a friend of mine who’s now dead, who was a philosopher that I thought I learned a lot from. And that was a title I was given, so a lot of people made a lot out of it. But it’s not a real job, I didn’t get paid for it.»[223] The Church of Satan itself later confirmed Manson was never ordained as a minister in their church.[224]

Despite that, Manson has been described as «the highest profile Satanist ever» with strong anti-Christian views and social Darwinist leanings.[225] However, Manson denies this, and stated the following:

«I’m not a misanthrope. I’m not a nihilist. I’m not an atheist. I believe in spirituality, but it really has to come from somewhere else. I learned a long time ago, you can’t try to change the world, you can just try to make something in it. I think that’s my spirituality, it’s putting something into the world. If you take all the basic principles of any religion, it’s usually about creation. There’s also destruction, but creation essentially. I was raised Christian. I went to a Christian school, because my parents wanted me to get a better education. But when I got kicked out I was sent to public school, and got beat up more by the public school kids. But then I’d go to my friend’s Passover and have fun.»

— Marilyn Manson[226]

Manson is also familiar with the writings of Aleister Crowley and Friedrich Nietzsche. He quotes Crowley throughout his autobiography, including Thelema’s principal dictum, «Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.»[227] Crowley’s esoteric subject matter forms an important theme in much of Manson’s early work.[228]

Controversies

Marilyn Manson has been referred to as one of the most iconic and controversial figures in heavy metal music,[229][230][231][232][233] with some referring to him as a «pop culture icon».[234][235][236][237] Paste magazine said there were «few artists in the 90s as shocking as Marilyn Manson, the most famous of the shock-rockers».[238] In her book Music in American Life: An Encyclopedia of the Songs, Styles, Stars, and Stories That Shaped Our Culture, author Jacqueline Edmondson writes that Manson creates music that «challenges people’s worldviews and provokes questions and further thinking».[239] Manson, his work, and the work of his eponymous band, have been involved in numerous controversies throughout their career.[240][241]

On May 30, 1996, the co-directors of political advocacy group Empower America organized a bipartisan press conference with Republican William Bennett and Democrats Joseph Lieberman and C. Delores Tucker, in which the record industry was admonished for selling «prepackaged, shrink-wrapped nihilism.» The three largely targeted rap music, but also referenced Manson; Tucker called Smells Like Children the «dirtiest, nastiest porno record directed at children that has ever hit the market» and said distributing record labels had «the blood of children on their hands», while Lieberman said the music «celebrates some of the most antisocial and immoral behaviors imaginable.» They also announced that Empower America would be launching a $25,000 radio advertising campaign to collect petitions from listeners who wanted record companies to «stop spreading this vicious, vulgar music.»[242]

The release of Antichrist Superstar in 1996 coincided with the band’s commercial breakthrough,[243] and much of the attention received by Manson from mainstream media was not positive.[244] Empower America organized another press conference in December 1996, where they criticized MCA—the owner of Interscope—president Edgar Bronfman Jr. for profiting from «profanity-laced» albums by Manson, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Doggy Dogg.[245][246] The band’s live performances also came under fire during this period; the «Dead to the World Tour» was followed by protesters at nearly every North American venue it visited.[247] Opponents of the band claimed the shows featured elements of Satanism, including a satanic altar, bestiality, rape, the distribution of free drugs,[243] homosexual acts, as well as animal and even human sacrifices.[248] Anonymous affidavits compiled by the Gulf Coast division of the American Family Association made various other claims about the live shows.[247] Students in Florida were threatened with expulsion for attending the band’s concerts.[243]

Several state legislatures, including the Utah State Legislature, South Carolina Legislature and the Virginia General Assembly, enacted legislation specifically targeting the group, banning them from performing at state-operated venues.[249][250][251] These laws would later be repealed, following separate lawsuits from fans and the American Civil Liberties Union.[249][251] Ozzy Osbourne sued the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority after they forced the cancelation of the New Jersey date of the 1997 Ozzfest at Giants Stadium; Manson’s appearance had been cited as the reason for the cancelation.[251][252] In November 1997, Manson’s lyrical content was examined during congressional hearings led by Lieberman and Sam Brownback, in an attempt to determine the effects—if any—of violent lyrics on young listeners.[253] The subcommittee heard testimony from Raymond Kuntz, who blamed his son’s suicide on Antichrist Superstar—specifically the song «The Reflecting God».[254] Lieberman went on to claim that the band’s music was driving young listeners to commit suicide,[255] and called the band the «sickest group ever promoted by a mainstream record company.»[256]

Columbine High School massacre

On April 20, 1999, Columbine High School students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed thirteen people and wounded twenty-one others before committing suicide.[257] At the time, it was the deadliest school shooting in US history.[258] In the immediate aftermath of the massacre, media reports surfaced that were heavily critical of Goth subculture,[259][260] alleging the perpetrators were wearing Marilyn Manson T-shirts during the massacre,[261] and that they were influenced by violence in entertainment, specifically movies, video games and music.[262] Five days after the incident, William Bennet and Joseph Lieberman – longtime critics of the vocalist – appeared on Meet the Press, where they cited his music as a contributing factor to the shooting.[263] Soon after, sensationalist headlines such as «Killers Worshipped Rock Freak Manson» and «Devil-Worshipping Maniac Told Kids To Kill» began appearing in media coverage of the tragedy.[264][265] Despite confirmation that the pair were fans of German industrial bands such as KMFDM and Rammstein,[266][267] and had «nothing but contempt» for Manson’s music,[268] mainstream media continued to direct the majority of blame for the shooting at Manson.[269][270]

The Mayor of Denver, Wellington Webb, successfully petitioned for the cancelation of KBPI-FM’s annual «Birthday Bash», at which Manson was scheduled to appear on April 30. Webb said the concert would be «inappropriate» because the two gunmen were thought to be fans of Manson.[271] Coloradoan politicians Bill Owens and Tom Tancredo accused Manson of promoting «hate, violence, death, suicide, drug use and the attitudes and actions of the Columbine High School killers.»[272] On April 29, ten US senators led by Brownback sent a letter to the head of Seagram, the conglomerate which owned Manson’s record label, requesting they stop distributing music to children that «glorifies violence». The letter named Manson, accusing him of producing songs that «eerily reflect» the actions of Harris and Klebold.[273]

Manson canceled the final four dates of the Rock Is Dead Tour out of respect for the victims while criticizing the media for their irresponsible coverage of the tragedy.[274][275] He elaborated on this point in an op-ed written for Rolling Stone titled «Columbine: Whose Fault Is It?». In the article, Manson castigated America’s gun culture and the political influence of the National Rifle Association, but was heavily critical of news media. He argued the media should be blamed for the next school shooting, as it was them who propagated the ensuing hysteria and «witch hunt», and said that instead of debating more relevant societal issues, the media instead facilitated the placing of blame on a scapegoat.[276][277]

On May 4, Brownback chaired a congressional hearing of the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation on the distribution and marketing of supposedly violent content to children by the film, music, television and video-game industries. The committee heard testimony from Bennett, the Archbishop of Denver Charles J. Chaput, as well as professors and mental health professionals; they criticized Manson, his label mates Nine Inch Nails, and the 1999 film The Matrix for their alleged contribution to a cultural environment enabling violence such as the Columbine shootings. Recording Industry Association of America executive Hilary Rosen said she refused to participate in the hearing as it was «staged as political theater. They just wanted to find a way to shame the industry, and I’m not ashamed.»[278] The committee eventually requested the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice investigate the entertainment industry’s marketing practices to minors.[279] The lyrical content of the band’s 2000 album Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was largely inspired by the massacre, with Manson saying it was a rebuttal to the accusations leveled against him by mainstream media.[280] He also discussed the massacre and its aftermath in Michael Moore’s 2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine.[281]

Other alleged incidents

In 2000, an elderly nun was murdered by three schoolgirls in Italy, with their diaries reportedly containing numerous references to and pictures of Manson.[282] Soon after, he was arrested following a concert in Rome for allegedly «tearing off his genitals».[282] Manson said the arrest was politically motivated following his implication in the murder by Italian tabloids.[283] In 2003, French media[which?] blamed Manson when several teenagers vandalized the graves of British war heroes in Arras, France.[282]

On June 30, 2003, 14-year old schoolgirl Jodi Jones was brutally murdered in Scotland.[284] Her mutilated body was discovered in woodland near her home, with her injuries said to closely resemble those of Elizabeth Short, commonly referred to by media as the Black Dahlia.[285][286] Ten months later, Jones’s boyfriend Luke Mitchell, then-fifteen years old, was arrested on suspicion of her murder.[287] Police confiscated a copy of The Golden Age of Grotesque containing the short film Doppelherz during a search of Mitchell’s family home,[288] which had been purchased by Mitchell two days after Jones’s death.[289] A ten-minute excerpt from the film, as well as several paintings created by Manson depicting the Black Dahlia’s mutilated body, were presented as evidence during the trial.[288][290][291] Mitchell was found guilty of her murder and was sentenced to a minimum of twenty years in prison.[292] In his closing summation, Lord Nimmo Smith said he believed Mitchell «carried an image of [Manson’s] paintings in your memory when you killed Jodi.»[293] Mitchell continues to profess his innocence.[294]

The controversy connecting Manson to school shootings continued on October 10, 2007, when fourteen-year old Asa Coon shot four people at SuccessTech Academy in Cleveland, Ohio, before committing suicide.[295] While exiting a bathroom, Coon was punched in the face by another student, and responded by shooting his attacker in the abdomen.[296] Coon then walked down the hallway and shot in to two occupied classrooms – wounding two teachers and a student – before entering a bathroom and committing suicide.[297] Coon was wearing a Marilyn Manson T-shirt during the shooting.[298][299] A photograph of Coon’s dead body was circulated online by Cleveland police officer Walter Emerick.[300] On May 18, 2009, Justin Doucet, a fifteen-year-old student at Larose-Cut Off Middle School in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, entered the school with a semi-automatic pistol.[301] After a teacher refused to comply with Doucet’s demand to say «Hail Marilyn Manson», he fired two shots that narrowly missed the teacher’s head, before shooting himself.[302][303] Doucet died from his injuries a week later.[304]

Abuse allegations

Several of Manson’s former acquaintances began communicating with one another in September 2020.[305][306] In a letter dated January 21, 2021, California State Senator Susan Rubio wrote to the director of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney General, asking them to investigate allegations several women had made against Manson.[307] On February 1, former fiancée Evan Rachel Wood wrote on Instagram and in a statement to Vanity Fair, accusing Manson of being abusive during their relationship a decade earlier.[308] Four other women simultaneously issued statements also accusing Manson of abuse.[309] Wood continued to make allegations against Manson and his wife Lindsay Usich on Instagram, claiming that his alleged abuse included antisemitism,[310] and said she filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department against Usich for threatening to leak photographs of Wood dressed in a Nazi uniform while wearing an Adolf Hitler-style toothbrush moustache.[311] A total of sixteen people have made various allegations against Manson,[3][312] including five accusations of sexual assault.[313]

Manson was immediately dropped by distributing record label Loma Vista Recordings,[314] his talent agency Creative Artists,[315] and his long-time manager Tony Ciulla.[316] He was also removed from future episodes of TV series American Gods and Creepshow, in which he was scheduled to appear.[3][317] On February 2, Manson issued a statement via Instagram, saying, «Obviously, my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners», and claimed the accusers were «misrepresenting the past».[318] His former wife Dita Von Teese stated that «the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple.»[319] Former girlfriend Rose McGowan said that Manson was not abusive during their relationship but that her experience had «no bearing on whether he was like that with others before or after».[320] On February 3, the LAPD performed a «welfare check» at Manson’s home after receiving a call from a purported friend who was concerned for his wellbeing.[321][322] The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed on February 19 that they were investigating Manson due to allegations of domestic violence.[323]

Four women filed civil lawsuits against Manson in the months that followed Wood’s allegations:[324] Esmé Bianco,[325] Ashley Morgan Smithline,[326] Ashley Walters,[327] and an anonymous woman.[328] Manson’s legal team issued statements denying the allegations.[329][330] They filed a motion to dismiss these lawsuits, calling the claims «untrue, meritless» and alleging that several of the accusers «spent months plotting, workshopping, and fine-tuning their stories to turn what were consensual friendships and relationships with Warner from more than a decade ago, into twisted tales that bear no resemblance to reality».[331] The lawsuit filed by the anonymous woman was initially dismissed because it exceeded the statute of limitations,[332][333] although an amended complaint was refiled soon after.[334][335] Manson’s legal team also sought to have Bianco’s lawsuit dismissed because it exceeded the statute of limitations, although a federal judge denied that motion.[336][337] Walters’s lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in May.[338][339] Morgan Smithline’s lawsuit was also dismissed by a federal judge, after her lawyer withdrew from her case and she did not meet a court-ordered deadline regarding her representation in the case.[340] Bianco and Manson reached an out-of-court settlement in January 2023 with undisclosed terms of agreement.[341]

Manson filed a lawsuit against Wood and Ashley «Illma» Gore for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, as well as the impersonation of an FBI agent and falsifying federal documents.[342] In the suit, it is alleged that Wood and Gore spent three years contacting his former girlfriends and provided «checklists and scripts» to prospective accusers in order to corroborate Wood’s claims,[343][344] and that the pair impersonated and falsified documents from an FBI agent.[345] The suit additionally claims Gore hacked into Manson’s computers and social media, and created fake email accounts to manufacture evidence he had been distributing «illicit pornography».[346] It is also alleged that Gore swatted Manson by calling the FBI claiming to be a friend concerned about an «emergency» at his home. As a result of the call, several police officers were dispatched to his property, where «there was no emergency».[347] He is seeking a jury trial.[348][349]

The LACSD presented the findings of their 19-month investigation of the sexual assault allegations made against Manson to California district attorney George Gascón in September 2022.[350] Gascón called the file «partial» and said more evidence was needed in order to file charges.[351][352] Smithline, who previously attempted to sue Manson, recanted her allegations in legal documents in February 2023, claiming she was «manipulated» and «pressured» by Wood and her associates to make allegations against Manson that were «not true».[313][353][354]

Notes

  1. ^ «In an attempt to reiterate the lesson of Willy Wonka in my own style during shows, I hung a donkey piñata over the crowd and put a stick on the edge of the stage. Then I would warn, ‘Please, don’t break that open. I beg you not to.’ Human psychology being what it is, kids in the crowd would invariably grab the stick and smash the piñata apart, forcing everyone to suffer the consequence, which would be a shower of cow brains, chicken livers and pig intestines from [the] disemboweled donkey.»[23]
  2. ^ «Well, there was always a real chip on our shoulder that [Portrait of an American Family] never really got the push from the record label that we thought it deserved. It was all about us touring our fucking asses off. We toured for two years solid, opening up for Nine Inch Nails for a year and then doing our own club tours. It was all just about perseverance.»[28]
  3. ^ Michael Beinhorn, the co-producer of Mechanical Animals, said: «When Mechanical Animals came out, the projected sales figure for the first week was 300,000 copies. [The label was] excited, saying, ‘We’re going to hit No.1 and sell 300k!’. It sold 230,000 and got to No.1, but it wasn’t enough. The label lost interest, they took down the huge billboard they had in Times Square for the album, the president of the label called Manson up, screaming at him for having tits on the cover. I think that, and what happened at Columbine, which really affected him emotionally, meant that he never made an album up to the standard of Mechanical Animals or Antichrist Superstar again. He just didn’t get the support.»[47]

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), known professionally as Marilyn Manson, is an American rock musician. He came to prominence as the lead singer of the band that shares his name, of which he remains the only constant member since its formation in 1989. Known for his controversial stage personality and public image, his stage name (like the other founding members of the band) was formed by combining the names of two opposing American cultural icons: actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson.

Manson is best known for music released in the 1990s, including the albums Portrait of an American Family (1994), Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998), which earned him a reputation in mainstream media as a controversial figure and negative influence on young people when combined with his public image.[1][2] In the U.S. alone, three of the band’s albums have been awarded platinum status and three more went gold, and the band has had eight releases debut in the top 10, including two No. 1 albums. Manson has been ranked at No. 44 on the list of the «Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists» by Hit Parader and, along with his band, has been nominated for four Grammy Awards–Manson himself earned an additional Grammy nomination for his work on Kanye West’s Donda. Manson made his film debut as an actor in David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997), and has since appeared in a variety of minor roles and cameos. In 2002, his first art show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions center.

He is widely considered one of the most controversial figures in heavy metal music, and has been involved in numerous controversies throughout his career. His lyrics were criticized by American politicians and were examined in congressional hearings. Several U.S. states enacted legislation specifically banning the group from performing in state-operated venues. In 1999, news media falsely blamed Manson for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. His work has been cited in several other violent events; his paintings and films appeared as evidence in a murder trial, and he has been accused of inspiring several other murders and school shootings. In 2021, multiple women accused Manson of psychologically and sexually abusing them, allegations he denied.[3]

Early life

Brian Hugh Warner was born in Canton, Ohio, on January 5, 1969,[4] the son of Barbara Warner Wyer (died May 13, 2014)[5] and Hugh Angus Warner (died July 7, 2017).[6][7] He is of English, German, Irish, and Polish descent,[8][9] and has also claimed that his mother’s family (who hailed from the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia) had Sioux heritage.[10] As a child, he attended his mother’s Episcopal church, though his father was a Roman Catholic.[11][12] He attended Heritage Christian School from first to tenth grade. In that school, his instructors tried to show children what music they were not supposed to listen to; Warner then fell in love with what he «wasn’t supposed to.»[13] Warner later transferred to GlenOak High School and graduated from there in 1987. After relocating with his parents, he became a student at Broward Community College in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1990. He was working towards a degree in journalism, gaining experience in the field by writing articles for the music magazine 25th Parallel.[14] He also interviewed musicians and soon met several of the musicians to whom his own work was later compared, including Groovie Mann from My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, with the latter later becoming his mentor and producing his debut album.[15]

Career

Music

The band was formed in 1989 by Warner and guitarist Scott Putesky,[16][17] with Warner writing lyrics and Putesky composing the majority of music.[18] Warner adopted the stage name Marilyn Manson and, alongside a revolving lineup of musicians, recorded the band’s first demo tape as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids in 1990.[19][20] The group quickly developed a loyal fanbase within the South Florida punk and hardcore music scene, primarily as a result of their intentionally shocking concerts; band members often performed in women’s clothing or bizarre costumes, and live shows routinely featured amateur pyrotechnics, naked women nailed to crucifixes, children locked in cages,[21][22] as well as experiments in reverse psychology and butchered animals remains.[N 1] Within six months of forming, they were playing sold-out shows in 300-capacity nightclubs throughout Florida.[24] They signed a record deal with Sony Music in early 1991, although this deal was rescinded before any material was recorded for the label. The band instead used the proceeds of this deal to fund the recording of subsequent demo tapes, which were released independently.[25]

The name of the group was shortened to Marilyn Manson in 1992, and they continued to perform and release cassettes until the summer of 1993,[21] when Reznor signed the act to his vanity label Nothing Records.[26] Their debut studio album, Portrait of an American Family, was released in July 1994.[27] Manson later criticized Nothing Records and its parent label Interscope for a perceived lack of promotion.[N 2] While recording b-sides and remixes for the album’s proposed third single, «Dope Hat», the band decided to issue the resultant material as a standalone release titled Smells Like Children.[29] The record included their cover version of the Eurythmics’s «Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)», which established the band as a mainstream act.[26][30] The song’s music video was placed on heavy rotation on MTV,[31] and earned the band their first nomination for Best Rock Video at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards.[32] Their second studio album, 1996’s Antichrist Superstar, sparked a fierce backlash among Christian fundamentalists.[33] The album was an immediate commercial success, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200 and selling almost 2 million copies in the United States alone,[34][35] and 7 million copies worldwide.[36][37] Lead single «The Beautiful People» received three nominations at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards,[38] where the band also performed.[39]

For 1998’s Mechanical Animals, Manson said he took inspiration from 1970s glam rock, and adopted a wardrobe and hairstyle similar to David Bowie.[40] He said he did this to avoid being portrayed as a «bogeyman», a role which had been ascribed to him by mainstream media following the band’s commercial breakthrough.[33] Interscope’s promotion of the album was massive,[41] with the label erecting enormous billboards of Manson as an androgynous extraterrestrial in Times Square and the Sunset Strip.[40] Lead single «The Dope Show» was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards.[42] The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[43] but was the lowest-selling number-one album of 1998 in the United States,[44] with sales of 1.4 million copies in the country as of 2017.[45] The album was not well received by longtime fans, who complained about its radio-friendly sound and accused the vocalist of «selling out»,[46] and Interscope were reportedly disappointed with its commercial performance.[N 3]

Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was a return to the band’s industrial metal roots after the glam-influenced Mechanical Animals,[48] and was the vocalist’s response to media coverage blaming him for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. The album was a critical success, with numerous publications praising it as the band’s finest work.[49] Despite being certified gold in the United States for shipments in excess of half a million units,[50] mainstream media openly questioned the band’s commercial appeal, noting the dominance of nu metal and controversial hip hop artists such as Eminem.[51][52] A cover of «Tainted Love» was an international hit in 2002, peaking at number one in several territories.[53]

The Golden Age of Grotesque was released the following year, an album primarily inspired by the swing and burlesque movements of 1920s Berlin.[54] In an extended metaphor found throughout the record, Manson compared his own often-criticized work to the Entartete Kunst banned by the Nazi regime.[55] Like Mechanical Animals in 1998, The Golden Age of Grotesque debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[34] but was the lowest-selling studio album to debut at number one that year, selling 527,000 copies in the United States as of 2008.[44] The album was more successful in Europe, where it sold over 400,000 on its first week of release to debut at number one on Billboard‘s European Top 100 Albums.[56] Manson began his collaboration with French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier during this period, who designed much of the elaborate attire worn by the band on the supporting «Grotesk Burlesk Tour».[57] The greatest hits compilation Lest We Forget: The Best Of was released in 2004.[58]

«He’s very savvy in that he lets people think things about him or plays into things to see what will happen, almost like a performance artist. He’s a visionary in a way, because he identified a culture that was coming and now that culture is everywhere.»

—Billy Corgan on Marilyn Manson, 2014[59]

After a three-year hiatus, in which the vocalist pursued other interests,[60] the band returned with 2007’s Eat Me, Drink Me. The album’s lyrical content largely related to the dissolution of Manson’s marriage to Dita Von Teese and his affair with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood.[61] Seventh studio album The High End of Low was released in 2009, and was their final album issued by Interscope. While promoting the record, Manson made a series of disparaging comments about the label and its artistic censorship, as well as its president Jimmy Iovine.[62] Manson signed a lucrative recording contract with British independent record label Cooking Vinyl in 2011, with the band and label sharing profits equally after the label recouped costs associated with marketing, promotion and distribution.[63] The first album released under the deal was 2012’s Born Villain.[64] Lead single «No Reflection» earned the band their fourth Grammy nomination.[42] Subsequent albums were released in the United States by Loma Vista Recordings, beginning with 2015’s The Pale Emperor, which was widely seen as a return to form[65][66] and was a commercial success upon release.[67][68]

Heaven Upside Down followed in 2017,[69] with its single «Kill4Me» becoming the band’s highest-peaking single ever on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock.[70] While touring in support of the record, Manson was injured by two large falling stage props as he performed on stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, breaking his fibula in two places, requiring a plate and ten screws to be inserted in the bone, as well as another screw in his ankle, which he had sprained during a show in Pittsburgh.[71][72] «God’s Gonna Cut You Down» was released as a non-album single in 2019,[73][74] and is the band’s highest-peaking single on Billboard‘s Hot Rock Songs and Rock Digital Songs.[75][76] Their most recent studio album, 2020’s We Are Chaos, was the band’s tenth top ten release on the Billboard 200.[77]

According to Nielsen SoundScan, the band sold 8.7 million albums alone in the United States as of 2011.[63] Three of their albums received platinum awards from the Recording Industry Association of America, and a further three received gold certifications.[78] Ten of their releases debuted in the top ten of the Billboard 200, including two number-one albums.[77] In the United Kingdom, the band are certified for sales of almost 1.75 million units.[79] Marilyn Manson has sold over 50 million records worldwide.[80][81][82][83]

Musical collaborations

In addition to his work with the band, Manson has collaborated extensively with other musicians.[84] Cello rock act Rasputina opened for the band throughout the «Dead to the World Tour», the controversial tour supporting Antichrist Superstar.[85] Lead vocalist Melora Creager performed cello and backing vocals for the band, most notably for renditions of «Apple of Sodom», a live version of which appeared as a b-side on Manson’s 1998 single «The Dope Show».[86] Manson also created three remixes of the song «Transylvanian Concubine», two of which appeared on their 1997 EP Transylvanian Regurgitations.[87] Manson befriended The Smashing Pumpkins vocalist Billy Corgan in 1997,[88] and performed renditions of «Eye» and «The Beautiful People» alongside that band at the 1997 edition of Bridge School Benefit concert.[89] Manson frequently consulted Corgan during the early stages of recording Mechanical Animals. Referring to its inclusion of glam rock influences, Corgan advised Manson that «This is definitely the right direction» but to «go all the way with it. Don’t just hint at it».[90] In 2015, Marilyn Manson and the Smashing Pumpkins embarked on a co-healining tour titled «The End Times Tour».[91]

To promote Mechanical Animals in 1998, the band embarked on their first co-headlining concert tour: the «Beautiful Monsters Tour» with Hole.[92] The tour was problematic,[93] with Manson and Hole vocalist Courtney Love frequently insulting one another both on-stage and during interviews.[94] Private disputes also arose over finances, as Hole were unwittingly financing most of Manson’s production costs, which were disproportionately high relative to Hole’s.[95] The tour was to consist of thirty-seven dates,[92] although Hole left after nine.[94] When Hole departed from the tour, it was renamed the «Rock Is Dead Tour», with Jack Off Jill announced as one of the support acts.[96] Manson had produced many of Jack Off Jill’s demo recordings in the early 90s, and later wrote the liner notes to their 2006 compilation Humid Teenage Mediocrity 1992–1996.[97][98]

Manson launched his own vanity label in 2000, Posthuman Records.[99] The label released two albums – the 2000 soundtrack to Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 and Godhead’s 2001 album 2000 Years of Human Error – before being dissolved in 2003.[100] The latter album sold over 100,000 copies in the United States,[101] and featured him performing vocals on the track «Break You Down».[102] He performed vocals on «Redeemer», a song written by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis that featured on the 2002 album Queen of the Damned: Music from the Motion Picture.[103] Davis had been prevented from singing the song due to contractual issues with his record label.[104] Manson also contributed a remix of the Linkin Park song «By Myself» to that band’s remix album Reanimation,[105] and collaborated with Marco Beltrami to create the score for the 2002 film Resident Evil.[106]

He performed vocals on the Chew Fu GhettoHouse Fix remix of Lady Gaga’s «LoveGame», which was featured as a b-side on the song’s single in 2008.[107] He was a featured vocalist on «Can’t Haunt Me»,[108] a track recorded in 2011 for Skylar Grey’s unreleased album Invinsible.[109] He appeared on «Bad Girl», a song from Avril Lavigne’s 2013 self-titled album,[84] and featured on the song «Hypothetical» from Emigrate’s 2014 album Silent So Long.[110] New Orleans brass ensemble the Soul Rebels performed «The Beautiful People» alongside Manson at the 2015 edition of the Japanese Summer Sonic Festival.[111] Manson recorded vocals on a cover of Bowie’s «Cat People (Putting Out Fire)» for country musician Shooter Jennings’s 2016 album Countach (For Giorgio).[112][113] The two were introduced in 2013 by Manson’s then-bassist Twiggy Ramirez,[114] and the pair first collaborated that same year on a song for the soundtrack to television series Sons of Anarchy.[115] Their version of the song, «Join the Human Gang», remains unreleased, but the track was eventually rewritten and released by The White Buffalo as «Come Join the Murder».[114] Jennings later produced Manson’s 2020 album We Are Chaos.[114]

Manson has collaborated with numerous hip hop artists. In 1998, he featured on «The Omen (Damien II)», a track on DMX’s album Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood.[116][117] Following the Columbine High School massacre, Manson was mentioned in the lyrics to Eminem’s «The Way I Am» from The Marshall Mathers LP, in the lyric «When a dude’s getting bullied and he shoots up the school and they blame it on Marilyn». Manson appeared in the song’s music video, and a remix created by Danny Lohner and featuring Manson appeared on special editions of The Marshall Mathers LP. Manson also joined Eminem on-stage for several live performances of the track, one of which featured on Eminem’s 2002 video album All Access Europe.[118] He featured on «Pussy Wet», a song on Gucci Mane’s 2013 mixtape Diary of a Trap God,[119] and provided vocals on the song «Marilyn Manson» on the 2020 mixtape Floor Seats II by ASAP Ferg.[120][121]

Alongside DaBaby, Manson co-wrote and was a featured artist on «Jail pt 2», a song on Kanye West’s 2021 album Donda.[122] Manson and DaBaby appeared alongside West at several events promoting the album, including at a listening event held at Soldier Field in August, and at one of West’s Sunday Church Services in October.[123][124] The appearances attracted significant media attention and controversy.[125] West said the trio collaborated on a total of five songs.[122] The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, which entitled Manson to a co-nomination credit for his work on the song.[126][127] Manson continued his collaboration with West for the follow-up album, Donda 2.[128] West collaborator Digital Nas said Manson was in the recording studio «every day» while the album was recorded, and explained that West «doesn’t want Marilyn to play rap beats. He wants Marilyn to play what he makes, and then Ye will take parts of that and sample parts of that and use parts of that, like he did [generally when making] Yeezus.»[129] Manson band-member Tim Skold has confirmed he was involved in the process.[130]

While with The Spooky Kids, Manson teamed with Jeordie White (also known as Twiggy Ramirez) and Stephen Gregory Bier Jr. (also known as Madonna Wayne Gacy) in two side-projects: Satan on Fire, a faux-Christian metal ensemble where he played bass guitar, and drums in Mrs. Scabtree, a collaborative band formed with White and then girlfriend Jessicka (vocalist with the band Jack Off Jill) as a way to combat contractual agreements that prohibited Marilyn Manson from playing in certain clubs.[citation needed]

Film and television

Manson made his film debut in 1997, as an actor in David Lynch’s Lost Highway. Since then he has appeared in many minor roles and cameos, including Party Monster; then-girlfriend Rose McGowan’s 1999 film Jawbreaker; Asia Argento’s 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things; Rise; The Hire: Beat The Devil, the sixth installment in the BMW films series; and Showtime’s comedy-drama TV series Californication in 2013, in which Manson portrayed himself. He also appeared on HBO’s Eastbound & Down,[131] of which Manson is reportedly a longtime fan,[132] and had lobbied to appear on for years; and ABC’s Once Upon a Time, for which he provided the voice of the character «Shadow».[133]

He was interviewed in Michael Moore’s political documentary Bowling for Columbine (2002) discussing possible motivations for the Columbine massacre and allegations that his music was somehow a factor.[citation needed] He has appeared in animated form in Clone High and participated in several episodes of the MTV series Celebrity Deathmatch, becoming the show’s unofficial champion and mascot; he often performed the voice for his claymated puppet, and contributed the song «Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes» to the soundtrack album.[citation needed] In July 2005, Manson told Rolling Stone that he was shifting his focus from music to filmmaking – «I just don’t think the world is worth putting music into right now. I no longer want to make art that other people – particularly record companies – are turning into a product. I just want to make art.»[citation needed] Johnny Depp reportedly used Manson as his inspiration for his performance as Willy Wonka in the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.[134] Manson himself expressed interest in playing the role of Willy Wonka in the film.[135]

He had been working on his directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, a project that has been in development hell since 2004, with Manson also set to portray the role of Lewis Carroll, author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Initially announced as a web-only release, it was later decided to give the estimated $4.2 million budget film a conventional cinema release, with a slated release date of mid-2007. The film was to have an original music soundtrack with previously unreleased songs.[136] Production of the film had been postponed indefinitely until after the Eat Me, Drink Me tour.[137] In 2010, studio bosses shut down production on the project, reportedly due to viewers’ responses to the violent content of clips released on the internet. The film was later officially put on «indefinite production hold».[138]

However, according to a 2010 interview with co-writer Anthony Silva about the hold, the film was still on and the talk of it being shut down was just a myth.[139]
In a June 2013 interview, Manson stated that he had «resurrected» the project, and that Roger Avary would direct it.[140] In a separate interview during the previous year, he said a small crew similar to what he used for his «Slo-Mo-Tion» music video would be used, and would rather film the movie on an iPhone than not film it at all. In a Reddit AMA with Billy Corgan on April 4, 2015, Manson commented that he had withdrawn from the project because the writing process for the film was «so… damaging to my psyche, I’ve decided I don’t want to have anything to do with it», and further commented that the only footage that had been created thus far had been content created for the trailer, which was made in order to promote the film.[141][142]

Manson appeared in the final season of the TV series Sons of Anarchy, portraying white supremacist Ron Tully.[143] In January 2016, it was announced that Manson would be joining the cast for season 3 of WGN’s Salem. He played Thomas Dinley, a barber and surgeon described as «the go-to man in Salem, from a shave and a haircut to being leeched, bled, sliced open or sewn up».[144] In 2020, Manson was a guest star on the HBO television series The New Pope, in which he has a personal audience with the series’ Pope and recommends that he visit the prior Pope that lies unconscious in a coma.[145]

Art

Manson as Mechanical Animals‘ antagonist/character «Omega»

Manson stated in a 2004 interview with i-D magazine to have begun his career as a watercolor painter in 1999 when he made five-minute concept pieces and sold them to drug dealers. On September 13–14, 2002, his first show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions Centre. Art in America‘s Max Henry likened them to the works of a «psychiatric patient given materials to use as therapy» and said his work would never be taken seriously in a fine art context, writing that the value was «in their celebrity, not the work».[146] On September 14–15, 2004, Manson held a second exhibition on the first night in Paris and the second in Berlin. The show was named ‘Trismegistus’ which was also the title of the center piece of the exhibit – a large, three-headed Christ painted onto an antique wood panel from a portable embalmers table.

Manson named his self-proclaimed art movement Celebritarian Corporation. He has coined a slogan for the movement: «We will sell our shadow to those who stand within it.» In 2005 he said that the Celebritarian Corporation has been «incubating for seven years» which if correct would indicate that Celebritarian Corporation, in some form, started in 1998.[147] Celebritarian Corporation is also the namesake of an art gallery owned by Manson, called the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art in Los Angeles for which his third exhibition was the inaugural show. From April 2–17, 2007, his works were on show at the Space 39 Modern & Contemporary art gallery in Fort Myers, Florida. Forty pieces from this show traveled to Germany’s Gallery Brigitte Schenk in Cologne to be publicly exhibited from June 28 – July 28, 2007. Manson revealed a series of 20 paintings in 2010 entitled Genealogies of Pain, an exhibition showcased at Vienna’s Kunsthalle gallery which the artist collaborated on with David Lynch.[148]

Video games

Manson has made an appearance in the video game Area 51 as Edgar, a grey alien. His song «Cruci-Fiction in Space» is featured in a commercial for the video game, The Darkness. His likeness is also featured on the Celebrity Deathmatch video game for which he recorded a song for the soundtrack (2003). The song «Use Your Fist and Not Your Mouth» was the credits score of the game Cold Fear as well as Spawn: Armageddon. The song «Four Rusted Horses» had an alternate version used in trailers for the video game Fear 3. A remix of the song «Tainted Love» appears in the debut trailer for the 2010 video game, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and in the launch trailer of the 2012 video game Twisted Metal. Manson’s song «The Beautiful People» was featured in WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth, KickBeat and Brütal Legend. The song «Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon» is also featured in Saints Row: The Third. His music video to the song «Personal Jesus» was used in some parts of the Buzz! game series.[citation needed]

Other ventures

Manson launched «Mansinthe», his own brand of Swiss-made absinthe, which has received mixed reviews; some critics described the taste as being «just plain»,[150] but it came second to Versinthe in an Absinthe top five[151] and won a gold medal at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.[152] Other reviewers, such as critics at The Wormwood Society, have given the absinthe moderately high praise.[153] In 2015, Manson stated he was no longer drinking absinthe.[154][155]

Vocal style

Manson predominantly delivers lyrics in a melodic fashion,[156] although he invariably enhances his vocal register by utilizing several extended vocal techniques, such as vocal fry,[157] screaming,[158] growling[159] and crooning.[160][161] In one interview he claimed his voice has five different tones,[162] which mixing engineer Robert Carranza discovered can form a pentagram when imported into a phrasal analyzer.[163][164] He possesses a baritone vocal type,[165] and has a vocal range which spans three octaves.[166] His lowest bass note of A1 can be heard in «Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon», while his highest note, an E6 — the first note of the whistle register — can be heard on the Born Villain song «Hey, Cruel World…».[167]

Charles Manson, 1968

The name «Marilyn Manson» juxtaposes Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson—a sex symbol and a mass murderer, respectively, both of whom became American cultural icons.

The name Marilyn Manson is formed by a juxtaposition of two opposing American pop cultural icons: Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson.[168] Monroe, an actress, was one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and continues to be a major icon over 50 years after,[169] while Manson, a cult leader, was responsible for the murder of actress Sharon Tate, as well as several others; and served a life sentence on murder and conspiracy charges until his death in 2017.[170][171]

Manson was a culture war agitator for our side, someone willing to jar and frighten the fuck out of the power structures that seemed there to keep teenagers in their place … and his tactics made him a target, both of mass-culture disdain and of superior alt-culture snark. All that was by design. He put himself out there to take those attacks. And on some level, he’s a saint for that.

—Stereogum on Marilyn Manson.[172]

Manson has mentioned on at least two occasions that he trademarked the name Marilyn Manson. In an interview at the 2015 Cannes Lions Festival, he said: «I trademarked the name ‘Marilyn Manson’ the same way as Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. It’s not a stage name. It’s not my legal name. … Marilyn Manson is owned by Brian Warner, my real name.»[173] He also mentioned this in a 2013 interview with Larry King.[174] The records of the United States Patent and Trademark Office show that he registered four trademarks of the name between 1994 and 1999, protecting entertainment services, merchandising and branding.[175][176][177][178]

Manson says he used those trademark registrations to issue cease and desist orders to media outlets who wrongly blamed him for the Columbine High School massacre. One journalist had erroneously reported the shooters were «wearing Marilyn Manson makeup and t-shirts», although the reports were soon proved incorrect.[173] However, Manson said, «Once the wheels started spinning, Fox News started going.»[173] As a result of these accusations, Manson’s career was seriously harmed: He was shunned by many venue owners and received numerous death threats.[179]

Manson generally uses the name in lieu of his birth name. Though his mother referred to him by his birth name of Brian, his father opted to refer to his son as simply «Manson» since about 1993, saying, «It’s called respect of the artist.»[180]

Lawsuits

In September 1996, former bassist Gidget Gein negotiated a settlement with Manson where he would receive US$17,500 and 20 percent of any royalties paid for recordings and for any songs he had a hand in writing and his share of any other royalties or fees the group earned while he was a member and he could market himself as a former member of Marilyn Manson. This settlement was not honored, however.[181]

Former guitarist and founding member Scott Putesky (a.k.a. Daisy Berkowitz) filed a $15 million lawsuit in a Fort Lauderdale court against the singer, the band and the band’s attorney (David Codikow) in January 1998 after his departure from the group in the spring of 1996. Berkowitz claimed «thousands of dollars in royalties, publishing rights, and performance fees» and filed an attorney malpractice suit against Codikow, alleging that «Codikow represented Warner’s interests more than the band’s and … gave Warner disproportionate control..»[182][183] By October of that year, the suit had been settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.[184]

On November 30, 1998, a few days after the band accumulated «[a] total [of] more than $25,000» in backstage and hotel room damages during the Poughkeepsie, New York, stop of their Mechanical Animals Tour,[185] SPIN editor Craig Marks filed a $24-million lawsuit against Manson and his bodyguards. On February 19, 1999, Manson counter-sued Marks for libel, slander and defamation, seeking US$40 million in reparation.[186] Marks later dropped the lawsuit.[187] Manson apologized for the Poughkeepsie incident and offered to make financial restitution.[188][189]

In a civil battery suit, David Diaz, a security officer from a concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on October 27, 2000, sued for US$75,000 in a Minneapolis federal court.[190] The federal court jury found in Manson’s favor.[191] In a civil suit presented by Oakland County, Michigan, Manson was charged with sexual misconduct against another security officer, Joshua Keasler, during a concert in Clarkston, Michigan, on July 30, 2001. Oakland County originally filed assault and battery and criminal sexual misconduct charges,[192] but the judge reduced the latter charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.[193] Manson pleaded no contest to the reduced charges, paid a US$4,000 fine,[194] and later settled the lawsuit under undisclosed terms.[195]

On April 3, 2002, Maria St. John filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Manson of providing her adult daughter, Jennifer Syme, with cocaine and instructing her to drive while under the influence.[196] After attending a party at Manson’s house, Syme was given a lift home;[197] Manson claims she was taken home by a designated driver.[196] After she got home, she got behind the wheel of her own vehicle and was killed when she crashed it into three parked cars. Manson is reported to have said there were no alcohol or other drugs at the party; St. John’s lawyer disputed this claim.[196]

On August 2, 2007, former band member Stephen Bier filed a lawsuit against Manson for unpaid «partnership proceeds», seeking $20 million in back pay. Several details from the lawsuit leaked to the press.[198][199] In December 2007, Manson countersued, claiming that Bier failed to fulfill his duties as a band member to play for recordings and to promote the band.[200] On December 28, 2009, the suit was settled with an agreement which saw Bier’s attorneys being paid a total of $380,000.[201]

Philanthropy

Manson has supported various charitable causes throughout his career. In 2002, he worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to collaborate with a fan who had been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. 16-year-old Andrew Baines from Tennessee was invited into the band’s recording studio to record backing vocals for their then-upcoming album, The Golden Age of Grotesque. Manson said on his website, «Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with Andrew, who reminded me the things I create are only made complete by those who enjoy them. I just want to simply say, thank you to Andrew for sharing such an important wish with me.»[202][203] He contributed to Oxfam’s 2013 «Rumble in the Jumble» event, which raised money to aid victims of domestic and sexual abuse in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[204] He has supported various organizations – such as Music for Life and Little Kids Rock — which enable access to musical instruments and education to children of low-income families. He has also worked with Project Nightlight, a group that encourages children and teenagers to speak out against physical and sexual abuse.[205] In 2019, he performed alongside Cyndi Lauper at her annual ‘Home for the Holidays’ benefit concert, with all proceeds donated to Lauper’s True Colors United, which «works to develop solutions to youth homelessness that focus on the unique experiences of LGBTQ young people».[206][207]

Personal life

Relationships

Manson is heterosexual.[208] He was engaged to actress Rose McGowan from February 1999 to January 2001. McGowan later ended their engagement, citing «lifestyle differences.»[209]

Manson and burlesque dancer, model, and costume designer Dita Von Teese became a couple in 2001. He proposed on March 22, 2004, and they were married in a private, non-denominational ceremony officiated by Chilean film director Alejandro Jodorowsky.[210] On December 30, 2006, Von Teese filed for divorce due to «irreconcilable differences».[211] Von Teese also eventually stated she did not agree with Manson’s «partying or his relationship with another girl».[212] Manson’s «heavy boozing» and distant behavior were also cited as cause for the split.[213] A judgment of divorce was entered in Los Angeles Superior Court on December 27, 2007.[214]

Manson’s relationship with actress, model, and musician Evan Rachel Wood was made public in 2007.[215] They reportedly maintained an on-again, off-again relationship for several years. He proposed to Wood during a Paris stage performance in January 2010, but the couple broke off the engagement later that year.[216]

In the March 2012 issue of Revolver magazine, American photographer Lindsay Usich was referred to as Manson’s girlfriend. The article referenced a new painting by him featuring her. Usich is credited as the photo source for the cover art of Manson’s 2012 album, Born Villain. It was later confirmed that the two were romantically involved.[217] In February 2015, Manson told Beat magazine that he is «newly single».[218]

In October 2020, Manson revealed in an interview with Nicolas Cage on ABC News Radio that he was married in a private ceremony during the COVID-19 pandemic.[219] The person he married was revealed to be Usich after she changed her social media name to «Lindsay Elizabeth Warner».[220]

Manson is the godfather of Lily-Rose Depp.[221]

Beliefs

Manson claims he was a friend of Anton LaVey,[222] and early on had also claimed LaVey inducted him as a minister in the Church of Satan. Later in his career, Manson downplayed this, saying he was «not necessarily» a minister: «that was something earlier… it was a friend of mine who’s now dead, who was a philosopher that I thought I learned a lot from. And that was a title I was given, so a lot of people made a lot out of it. But it’s not a real job, I didn’t get paid for it.»[223] The Church of Satan itself later confirmed Manson was never ordained as a minister in their church.[224]

Despite that, Manson has been described as «the highest profile Satanist ever» with strong anti-Christian views and social Darwinist leanings.[225] However, Manson denies this, and stated the following:

«I’m not a misanthrope. I’m not a nihilist. I’m not an atheist. I believe in spirituality, but it really has to come from somewhere else. I learned a long time ago, you can’t try to change the world, you can just try to make something in it. I think that’s my spirituality, it’s putting something into the world. If you take all the basic principles of any religion, it’s usually about creation. There’s also destruction, but creation essentially. I was raised Christian. I went to a Christian school, because my parents wanted me to get a better education. But when I got kicked out I was sent to public school, and got beat up more by the public school kids. But then I’d go to my friend’s Passover and have fun.»

— Marilyn Manson[226]

Manson is also familiar with the writings of Aleister Crowley and Friedrich Nietzsche. He quotes Crowley throughout his autobiography, including Thelema’s principal dictum, «Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.»[227] Crowley’s esoteric subject matter forms an important theme in much of Manson’s early work.[228]

Controversies

Marilyn Manson has been referred to as one of the most iconic and controversial figures in heavy metal music,[229][230][231][232][233] with some referring to him as a «pop culture icon».[234][235][236][237] Paste magazine said there were «few artists in the 90s as shocking as Marilyn Manson, the most famous of the shock-rockers».[238] In her book Music in American Life: An Encyclopedia of the Songs, Styles, Stars, and Stories That Shaped Our Culture, author Jacqueline Edmondson writes that Manson creates music that «challenges people’s worldviews and provokes questions and further thinking».[239] Manson, his work, and the work of his eponymous band, have been involved in numerous controversies throughout their career.[240][241]

On May 30, 1996, the co-directors of political advocacy group Empower America organized a bipartisan press conference with Republican William Bennett and Democrats Joseph Lieberman and C. Delores Tucker, in which the record industry was admonished for selling «prepackaged, shrink-wrapped nihilism.» The three largely targeted rap music, but also referenced Manson; Tucker called Smells Like Children the «dirtiest, nastiest porno record directed at children that has ever hit the market» and said distributing record labels had «the blood of children on their hands», while Lieberman said the music «celebrates some of the most antisocial and immoral behaviors imaginable.» They also announced that Empower America would be launching a $25,000 radio advertising campaign to collect petitions from listeners who wanted record companies to «stop spreading this vicious, vulgar music.»[242]

The release of Antichrist Superstar in 1996 coincided with the band’s commercial breakthrough,[243] and much of the attention received by Manson from mainstream media was not positive.[244] Empower America organized another press conference in December 1996, where they criticized MCA—the owner of Interscope—president Edgar Bronfman Jr. for profiting from «profanity-laced» albums by Manson, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Doggy Dogg.[245][246] The band’s live performances also came under fire during this period; the «Dead to the World Tour» was followed by protesters at nearly every North American venue it visited.[247] Opponents of the band claimed the shows featured elements of Satanism, including a satanic altar, bestiality, rape, the distribution of free drugs,[243] homosexual acts, as well as animal and even human sacrifices.[248] Anonymous affidavits compiled by the Gulf Coast division of the American Family Association made various other claims about the live shows.[247] Students in Florida were threatened with expulsion for attending the band’s concerts.[243]

Several state legislatures, including the Utah State Legislature, South Carolina Legislature and the Virginia General Assembly, enacted legislation specifically targeting the group, banning them from performing at state-operated venues.[249][250][251] These laws would later be repealed, following separate lawsuits from fans and the American Civil Liberties Union.[249][251] Ozzy Osbourne sued the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority after they forced the cancelation of the New Jersey date of the 1997 Ozzfest at Giants Stadium; Manson’s appearance had been cited as the reason for the cancelation.[251][252] In November 1997, Manson’s lyrical content was examined during congressional hearings led by Lieberman and Sam Brownback, in an attempt to determine the effects—if any—of violent lyrics on young listeners.[253] The subcommittee heard testimony from Raymond Kuntz, who blamed his son’s suicide on Antichrist Superstar—specifically the song «The Reflecting God».[254] Lieberman went on to claim that the band’s music was driving young listeners to commit suicide,[255] and called the band the «sickest group ever promoted by a mainstream record company.»[256]

Columbine High School massacre

On April 20, 1999, Columbine High School students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed thirteen people and wounded twenty-one others before committing suicide.[257] At the time, it was the deadliest school shooting in US history.[258] In the immediate aftermath of the massacre, media reports surfaced that were heavily critical of Goth subculture,[259][260] alleging the perpetrators were wearing Marilyn Manson T-shirts during the massacre,[261] and that they were influenced by violence in entertainment, specifically movies, video games and music.[262] Five days after the incident, William Bennet and Joseph Lieberman – longtime critics of the vocalist – appeared on Meet the Press, where they cited his music as a contributing factor to the shooting.[263] Soon after, sensationalist headlines such as «Killers Worshipped Rock Freak Manson» and «Devil-Worshipping Maniac Told Kids To Kill» began appearing in media coverage of the tragedy.[264][265] Despite confirmation that the pair were fans of German industrial bands such as KMFDM and Rammstein,[266][267] and had «nothing but contempt» for Manson’s music,[268] mainstream media continued to direct the majority of blame for the shooting at Manson.[269][270]

The Mayor of Denver, Wellington Webb, successfully petitioned for the cancelation of KBPI-FM’s annual «Birthday Bash», at which Manson was scheduled to appear on April 30. Webb said the concert would be «inappropriate» because the two gunmen were thought to be fans of Manson.[271] Coloradoan politicians Bill Owens and Tom Tancredo accused Manson of promoting «hate, violence, death, suicide, drug use and the attitudes and actions of the Columbine High School killers.»[272] On April 29, ten US senators led by Brownback sent a letter to the head of Seagram, the conglomerate which owned Manson’s record label, requesting they stop distributing music to children that «glorifies violence». The letter named Manson, accusing him of producing songs that «eerily reflect» the actions of Harris and Klebold.[273]

Manson canceled the final four dates of the Rock Is Dead Tour out of respect for the victims while criticizing the media for their irresponsible coverage of the tragedy.[274][275] He elaborated on this point in an op-ed written for Rolling Stone titled «Columbine: Whose Fault Is It?». In the article, Manson castigated America’s gun culture and the political influence of the National Rifle Association, but was heavily critical of news media. He argued the media should be blamed for the next school shooting, as it was them who propagated the ensuing hysteria and «witch hunt», and said that instead of debating more relevant societal issues, the media instead facilitated the placing of blame on a scapegoat.[276][277]

On May 4, Brownback chaired a congressional hearing of the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation on the distribution and marketing of supposedly violent content to children by the film, music, television and video-game industries. The committee heard testimony from Bennett, the Archbishop of Denver Charles J. Chaput, as well as professors and mental health professionals; they criticized Manson, his label mates Nine Inch Nails, and the 1999 film The Matrix for their alleged contribution to a cultural environment enabling violence such as the Columbine shootings. Recording Industry Association of America executive Hilary Rosen said she refused to participate in the hearing as it was «staged as political theater. They just wanted to find a way to shame the industry, and I’m not ashamed.»[278] The committee eventually requested the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice investigate the entertainment industry’s marketing practices to minors.[279] The lyrical content of the band’s 2000 album Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was largely inspired by the massacre, with Manson saying it was a rebuttal to the accusations leveled against him by mainstream media.[280] He also discussed the massacre and its aftermath in Michael Moore’s 2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine.[281]

Other alleged incidents

In 2000, an elderly nun was murdered by three schoolgirls in Italy, with their diaries reportedly containing numerous references to and pictures of Manson.[282] Soon after, he was arrested following a concert in Rome for allegedly «tearing off his genitals».[282] Manson said the arrest was politically motivated following his implication in the murder by Italian tabloids.[283] In 2003, French media[which?] blamed Manson when several teenagers vandalized the graves of British war heroes in Arras, France.[282]

On June 30, 2003, 14-year old schoolgirl Jodi Jones was brutally murdered in Scotland.[284] Her mutilated body was discovered in woodland near her home, with her injuries said to closely resemble those of Elizabeth Short, commonly referred to by media as the Black Dahlia.[285][286] Ten months later, Jones’s boyfriend Luke Mitchell, then-fifteen years old, was arrested on suspicion of her murder.[287] Police confiscated a copy of The Golden Age of Grotesque containing the short film Doppelherz during a search of Mitchell’s family home,[288] which had been purchased by Mitchell two days after Jones’s death.[289] A ten-minute excerpt from the film, as well as several paintings created by Manson depicting the Black Dahlia’s mutilated body, were presented as evidence during the trial.[288][290][291] Mitchell was found guilty of her murder and was sentenced to a minimum of twenty years in prison.[292] In his closing summation, Lord Nimmo Smith said he believed Mitchell «carried an image of [Manson’s] paintings in your memory when you killed Jodi.»[293] Mitchell continues to profess his innocence.[294]

The controversy connecting Manson to school shootings continued on October 10, 2007, when fourteen-year old Asa Coon shot four people at SuccessTech Academy in Cleveland, Ohio, before committing suicide.[295] While exiting a bathroom, Coon was punched in the face by another student, and responded by shooting his attacker in the abdomen.[296] Coon then walked down the hallway and shot in to two occupied classrooms – wounding two teachers and a student – before entering a bathroom and committing suicide.[297] Coon was wearing a Marilyn Manson T-shirt during the shooting.[298][299] A photograph of Coon’s dead body was circulated online by Cleveland police officer Walter Emerick.[300] On May 18, 2009, Justin Doucet, a fifteen-year-old student at Larose-Cut Off Middle School in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, entered the school with a semi-automatic pistol.[301] After a teacher refused to comply with Doucet’s demand to say «Hail Marilyn Manson», he fired two shots that narrowly missed the teacher’s head, before shooting himself.[302][303] Doucet died from his injuries a week later.[304]

Abuse allegations

Several of Manson’s former acquaintances began communicating with one another in September 2020.[305][306] In a letter dated January 21, 2021, California State Senator Susan Rubio wrote to the director of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney General, asking them to investigate allegations several women had made against Manson.[307] On February 1, former fiancée Evan Rachel Wood wrote on Instagram and in a statement to Vanity Fair, accusing Manson of being abusive during their relationship a decade earlier.[308] Four other women simultaneously issued statements also accusing Manson of abuse.[309] Wood continued to make allegations against Manson and his wife Lindsay Usich on Instagram, claiming that his alleged abuse included antisemitism,[310] and said she filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department against Usich for threatening to leak photographs of Wood dressed in a Nazi uniform while wearing an Adolf Hitler-style toothbrush moustache.[311] A total of sixteen people have made various allegations against Manson,[3][312] including five accusations of sexual assault.[313]

Manson was immediately dropped by distributing record label Loma Vista Recordings,[314] his talent agency Creative Artists,[315] and his long-time manager Tony Ciulla.[316] He was also removed from future episodes of TV series American Gods and Creepshow, in which he was scheduled to appear.[3][317] On February 2, Manson issued a statement via Instagram, saying, «Obviously, my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners», and claimed the accusers were «misrepresenting the past».[318] His former wife Dita Von Teese stated that «the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple.»[319] Former girlfriend Rose McGowan said that Manson was not abusive during their relationship but that her experience had «no bearing on whether he was like that with others before or after».[320] On February 3, the LAPD performed a «welfare check» at Manson’s home after receiving a call from a purported friend who was concerned for his wellbeing.[321][322] The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed on February 19 that they were investigating Manson due to allegations of domestic violence.[323]

Four women filed civil lawsuits against Manson in the months that followed Wood’s allegations:[324] Esmé Bianco,[325] Ashley Morgan Smithline,[326] Ashley Walters,[327] and an anonymous woman.[328] Manson’s legal team issued statements denying the allegations.[329][330] They filed a motion to dismiss these lawsuits, calling the claims «untrue, meritless» and alleging that several of the accusers «spent months plotting, workshopping, and fine-tuning their stories to turn what were consensual friendships and relationships with Warner from more than a decade ago, into twisted tales that bear no resemblance to reality».[331] The lawsuit filed by the anonymous woman was initially dismissed because it exceeded the statute of limitations,[332][333] although an amended complaint was refiled soon after.[334][335] Manson’s legal team also sought to have Bianco’s lawsuit dismissed because it exceeded the statute of limitations, although a federal judge denied that motion.[336][337] Walters’s lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in May.[338][339] Morgan Smithline’s lawsuit was also dismissed by a federal judge, after her lawyer withdrew from her case and she did not meet a court-ordered deadline regarding her representation in the case.[340] Bianco and Manson reached an out-of-court settlement in January 2023 with undisclosed terms of agreement.[341]

Manson filed a lawsuit against Wood and Ashley «Illma» Gore for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, as well as the impersonation of an FBI agent and falsifying federal documents.[342] In the suit, it is alleged that Wood and Gore spent three years contacting his former girlfriends and provided «checklists and scripts» to prospective accusers in order to corroborate Wood’s claims,[343][344] and that the pair impersonated and falsified documents from an FBI agent.[345] The suit additionally claims Gore hacked into Manson’s computers and social media, and created fake email accounts to manufacture evidence he had been distributing «illicit pornography».[346] It is also alleged that Gore swatted Manson by calling the FBI claiming to be a friend concerned about an «emergency» at his home. As a result of the call, several police officers were dispatched to his property, where «there was no emergency».[347] He is seeking a jury trial.[348][349]

The LACSD presented the findings of their 19-month investigation of the sexual assault allegations made against Manson to California district attorney George Gascón in September 2022.[350] Gascón called the file «partial» and said more evidence was needed in order to file charges.[351][352] Smithline, who previously attempted to sue Manson, recanted her allegations in legal documents in February 2023, claiming she was «manipulated» and «pressured» by Wood and her associates to make allegations against Manson that were «not true».[313][353][354]

Notes

  1. ^ «In an attempt to reiterate the lesson of Willy Wonka in my own style during shows, I hung a donkey piñata over the crowd and put a stick on the edge of the stage. Then I would warn, ‘Please, don’t break that open. I beg you not to.’ Human psychology being what it is, kids in the crowd would invariably grab the stick and smash the piñata apart, forcing everyone to suffer the consequence, which would be a shower of cow brains, chicken livers and pig intestines from [the] disemboweled donkey.»[23]
  2. ^ «Well, there was always a real chip on our shoulder that [Portrait of an American Family] never really got the push from the record label that we thought it deserved. It was all about us touring our fucking asses off. We toured for two years solid, opening up for Nine Inch Nails for a year and then doing our own club tours. It was all just about perseverance.»[28]
  3. ^ Michael Beinhorn, the co-producer of Mechanical Animals, said: «When Mechanical Animals came out, the projected sales figure for the first week was 300,000 copies. [The label was] excited, saying, ‘We’re going to hit No.1 and sell 300k!’. It sold 230,000 and got to No.1, but it wasn’t enough. The label lost interest, they took down the huge billboard they had in Times Square for the album, the president of the label called Manson up, screaming at him for having tits on the cover. I think that, and what happened at Columbine, which really affected him emotionally, meant that he never made an album up to the standard of Mechanical Animals or Antichrist Superstar again. He just didn’t get the support.»[47]

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), known professionally as Marilyn Manson, is an American rock musician. He came to prominence as the lead singer of the band that shares his name, of which he remains the only constant member since its formation in 1989. Known for his controversial stage personality and public image, his stage name (like the other founding members of the band) was formed by combining the names of two opposing American cultural icons: actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson.

Manson is best known for music released in the 1990s, including the albums Portrait of an American Family (1994), Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998), which earned him a reputation in mainstream media as a controversial figure and negative influence on young people when combined with his public image.[1][2] In the U.S. alone, three of the band’s albums have been awarded platinum status and three more went gold, and the band has had eight releases debut in the top 10, including two No. 1 albums. Manson has been ranked at No. 44 on the list of the «Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists» by Hit Parader and, along with his band, has been nominated for four Grammy Awards–Manson himself earned an additional Grammy nomination for his work on Kanye West’s Donda. Manson made his film debut as an actor in David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997), and has since appeared in a variety of minor roles and cameos. In 2002, his first art show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions center.

He is widely considered one of the most controversial figures in heavy metal music, and has been involved in numerous controversies throughout his career. His lyrics were criticized by American politicians and were examined in congressional hearings. Several U.S. states enacted legislation specifically banning the group from performing in state-operated venues. In 1999, news media falsely blamed Manson for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. His work has been cited in several other violent events; his paintings and films appeared as evidence in a murder trial, and he has been accused of inspiring several other murders and school shootings. In 2021, multiple women accused Manson of psychologically and sexually abusing them, allegations he denied.[3]

Early life

Brian Hugh Warner was born in Canton, Ohio, on January 5, 1969,[4] the son of Barbara Warner Wyer (died May 13, 2014)[5] and Hugh Angus Warner (died July 7, 2017).[6][7] He is of English, German, Irish, and Polish descent,[8][9] and has also claimed that his mother’s family (who hailed from the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia) had Sioux heritage.[10] As a child, he attended his mother’s Episcopal church, though his father was a Roman Catholic.[11][12] He attended Heritage Christian School from first to tenth grade. In that school, his instructors tried to show children what music they were not supposed to listen to; Warner then fell in love with what he «wasn’t supposed to.»[13] Warner later transferred to GlenOak High School and graduated from there in 1987. After relocating with his parents, he became a student at Broward Community College in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1990. He was working towards a degree in journalism, gaining experience in the field by writing articles for the music magazine 25th Parallel.[14] He also interviewed musicians and soon met several of the musicians to whom his own work was later compared, including Groovie Mann from My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, with the latter later becoming his mentor and producing his debut album.[15]

Career

Music

The band was formed in 1989 by Warner and guitarist Scott Putesky,[16][17] with Warner writing lyrics and Putesky composing the majority of music.[18] Warner adopted the stage name Marilyn Manson and, alongside a revolving lineup of musicians, recorded the band’s first demo tape as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids in 1990.[19][20] The group quickly developed a loyal fanbase within the South Florida punk and hardcore music scene, primarily as a result of their intentionally shocking concerts; band members often performed in women’s clothing or bizarre costumes, and live shows routinely featured amateur pyrotechnics, naked women nailed to crucifixes, children locked in cages,[21][22] as well as experiments in reverse psychology and butchered animals remains.[N 1] Within six months of forming, they were playing sold-out shows in 300-capacity nightclubs throughout Florida.[24] They signed a record deal with Sony Music in early 1991, although this deal was rescinded before any material was recorded for the label. The band instead used the proceeds of this deal to fund the recording of subsequent demo tapes, which were released independently.[25]

The name of the group was shortened to Marilyn Manson in 1992, and they continued to perform and release cassettes until the summer of 1993,[21] when Reznor signed the act to his vanity label Nothing Records.[26] Their debut studio album, Portrait of an American Family, was released in July 1994.[27] Manson later criticized Nothing Records and its parent label Interscope for a perceived lack of promotion.[N 2] While recording b-sides and remixes for the album’s proposed third single, «Dope Hat», the band decided to issue the resultant material as a standalone release titled Smells Like Children.[29] The record included their cover version of the Eurythmics’s «Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)», which established the band as a mainstream act.[26][30] The song’s music video was placed on heavy rotation on MTV,[31] and earned the band their first nomination for Best Rock Video at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards.[32] Their second studio album, 1996’s Antichrist Superstar, sparked a fierce backlash among Christian fundamentalists.[33] The album was an immediate commercial success, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200 and selling almost 2 million copies in the United States alone,[34][35] and 7 million copies worldwide.[36][37] Lead single «The Beautiful People» received three nominations at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards,[38] where the band also performed.[39]

For 1998’s Mechanical Animals, Manson said he took inspiration from 1970s glam rock, and adopted a wardrobe and hairstyle similar to David Bowie.[40] He said he did this to avoid being portrayed as a «bogeyman», a role which had been ascribed to him by mainstream media following the band’s commercial breakthrough.[33] Interscope’s promotion of the album was massive,[41] with the label erecting enormous billboards of Manson as an androgynous extraterrestrial in Times Square and the Sunset Strip.[40] Lead single «The Dope Show» was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards.[42] The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[43] but was the lowest-selling number-one album of 1998 in the United States,[44] with sales of 1.4 million copies in the country as of 2017.[45] The album was not well received by longtime fans, who complained about its radio-friendly sound and accused the vocalist of «selling out»,[46] and Interscope were reportedly disappointed with its commercial performance.[N 3]

Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was a return to the band’s industrial metal roots after the glam-influenced Mechanical Animals,[48] and was the vocalist’s response to media coverage blaming him for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. The album was a critical success, with numerous publications praising it as the band’s finest work.[49] Despite being certified gold in the United States for shipments in excess of half a million units,[50] mainstream media openly questioned the band’s commercial appeal, noting the dominance of nu metal and controversial hip hop artists such as Eminem.[51][52] A cover of «Tainted Love» was an international hit in 2002, peaking at number one in several territories.[53]

The Golden Age of Grotesque was released the following year, an album primarily inspired by the swing and burlesque movements of 1920s Berlin.[54] In an extended metaphor found throughout the record, Manson compared his own often-criticized work to the Entartete Kunst banned by the Nazi regime.[55] Like Mechanical Animals in 1998, The Golden Age of Grotesque debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[34] but was the lowest-selling studio album to debut at number one that year, selling 527,000 copies in the United States as of 2008.[44] The album was more successful in Europe, where it sold over 400,000 on its first week of release to debut at number one on Billboard‘s European Top 100 Albums.[56] Manson began his collaboration with French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier during this period, who designed much of the elaborate attire worn by the band on the supporting «Grotesk Burlesk Tour».[57] The greatest hits compilation Lest We Forget: The Best Of was released in 2004.[58]

«He’s very savvy in that he lets people think things about him or plays into things to see what will happen, almost like a performance artist. He’s a visionary in a way, because he identified a culture that was coming and now that culture is everywhere.»

—Billy Corgan on Marilyn Manson, 2014[59]

After a three-year hiatus, in which the vocalist pursued other interests,[60] the band returned with 2007’s Eat Me, Drink Me. The album’s lyrical content largely related to the dissolution of Manson’s marriage to Dita Von Teese and his affair with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood.[61] Seventh studio album The High End of Low was released in 2009, and was their final album issued by Interscope. While promoting the record, Manson made a series of disparaging comments about the label and its artistic censorship, as well as its president Jimmy Iovine.[62] Manson signed a lucrative recording contract with British independent record label Cooking Vinyl in 2011, with the band and label sharing profits equally after the label recouped costs associated with marketing, promotion and distribution.[63] The first album released under the deal was 2012’s Born Villain.[64] Lead single «No Reflection» earned the band their fourth Grammy nomination.[42] Subsequent albums were released in the United States by Loma Vista Recordings, beginning with 2015’s The Pale Emperor, which was widely seen as a return to form[65][66] and was a commercial success upon release.[67][68]

Heaven Upside Down followed in 2017,[69] with its single «Kill4Me» becoming the band’s highest-peaking single ever on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock.[70] While touring in support of the record, Manson was injured by two large falling stage props as he performed on stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, breaking his fibula in two places, requiring a plate and ten screws to be inserted in the bone, as well as another screw in his ankle, which he had sprained during a show in Pittsburgh.[71][72] «God’s Gonna Cut You Down» was released as a non-album single in 2019,[73][74] and is the band’s highest-peaking single on Billboard‘s Hot Rock Songs and Rock Digital Songs.[75][76] Their most recent studio album, 2020’s We Are Chaos, was the band’s tenth top ten release on the Billboard 200.[77]

According to Nielsen SoundScan, the band sold 8.7 million albums alone in the United States as of 2011.[63] Three of their albums received platinum awards from the Recording Industry Association of America, and a further three received gold certifications.[78] Ten of their releases debuted in the top ten of the Billboard 200, including two number-one albums.[77] In the United Kingdom, the band are certified for sales of almost 1.75 million units.[79] Marilyn Manson has sold over 50 million records worldwide.[80][81][82][83]

Musical collaborations

In addition to his work with the band, Manson has collaborated extensively with other musicians.[84] Cello rock act Rasputina opened for the band throughout the «Dead to the World Tour», the controversial tour supporting Antichrist Superstar.[85] Lead vocalist Melora Creager performed cello and backing vocals for the band, most notably for renditions of «Apple of Sodom», a live version of which appeared as a b-side on Manson’s 1998 single «The Dope Show».[86] Manson also created three remixes of the song «Transylvanian Concubine», two of which appeared on their 1997 EP Transylvanian Regurgitations.[87] Manson befriended The Smashing Pumpkins vocalist Billy Corgan in 1997,[88] and performed renditions of «Eye» and «The Beautiful People» alongside that band at the 1997 edition of Bridge School Benefit concert.[89] Manson frequently consulted Corgan during the early stages of recording Mechanical Animals. Referring to its inclusion of glam rock influences, Corgan advised Manson that «This is definitely the right direction» but to «go all the way with it. Don’t just hint at it».[90] In 2015, Marilyn Manson and the Smashing Pumpkins embarked on a co-healining tour titled «The End Times Tour».[91]

To promote Mechanical Animals in 1998, the band embarked on their first co-headlining concert tour: the «Beautiful Monsters Tour» with Hole.[92] The tour was problematic,[93] with Manson and Hole vocalist Courtney Love frequently insulting one another both on-stage and during interviews.[94] Private disputes also arose over finances, as Hole were unwittingly financing most of Manson’s production costs, which were disproportionately high relative to Hole’s.[95] The tour was to consist of thirty-seven dates,[92] although Hole left after nine.[94] When Hole departed from the tour, it was renamed the «Rock Is Dead Tour», with Jack Off Jill announced as one of the support acts.[96] Manson had produced many of Jack Off Jill’s demo recordings in the early 90s, and later wrote the liner notes to their 2006 compilation Humid Teenage Mediocrity 1992–1996.[97][98]

Manson launched his own vanity label in 2000, Posthuman Records.[99] The label released two albums – the 2000 soundtrack to Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 and Godhead’s 2001 album 2000 Years of Human Error – before being dissolved in 2003.[100] The latter album sold over 100,000 copies in the United States,[101] and featured him performing vocals on the track «Break You Down».[102] He performed vocals on «Redeemer», a song written by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis that featured on the 2002 album Queen of the Damned: Music from the Motion Picture.[103] Davis had been prevented from singing the song due to contractual issues with his record label.[104] Manson also contributed a remix of the Linkin Park song «By Myself» to that band’s remix album Reanimation,[105] and collaborated with Marco Beltrami to create the score for the 2002 film Resident Evil.[106]

He performed vocals on the Chew Fu GhettoHouse Fix remix of Lady Gaga’s «LoveGame», which was featured as a b-side on the song’s single in 2008.[107] He was a featured vocalist on «Can’t Haunt Me»,[108] a track recorded in 2011 for Skylar Grey’s unreleased album Invinsible.[109] He appeared on «Bad Girl», a song from Avril Lavigne’s 2013 self-titled album,[84] and featured on the song «Hypothetical» from Emigrate’s 2014 album Silent So Long.[110] New Orleans brass ensemble the Soul Rebels performed «The Beautiful People» alongside Manson at the 2015 edition of the Japanese Summer Sonic Festival.[111] Manson recorded vocals on a cover of Bowie’s «Cat People (Putting Out Fire)» for country musician Shooter Jennings’s 2016 album Countach (For Giorgio).[112][113] The two were introduced in 2013 by Manson’s then-bassist Twiggy Ramirez,[114] and the pair first collaborated that same year on a song for the soundtrack to television series Sons of Anarchy.[115] Their version of the song, «Join the Human Gang», remains unreleased, but the track was eventually rewritten and released by The White Buffalo as «Come Join the Murder».[114] Jennings later produced Manson’s 2020 album We Are Chaos.[114]

Manson has collaborated with numerous hip hop artists. In 1998, he featured on «The Omen (Damien II)», a track on DMX’s album Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood.[116][117] Following the Columbine High School massacre, Manson was mentioned in the lyrics to Eminem’s «The Way I Am» from The Marshall Mathers LP, in the lyric «When a dude’s getting bullied and he shoots up the school and they blame it on Marilyn». Manson appeared in the song’s music video, and a remix created by Danny Lohner and featuring Manson appeared on special editions of The Marshall Mathers LP. Manson also joined Eminem on-stage for several live performances of the track, one of which featured on Eminem’s 2002 video album All Access Europe.[118] He featured on «Pussy Wet», a song on Gucci Mane’s 2013 mixtape Diary of a Trap God,[119] and provided vocals on the song «Marilyn Manson» on the 2020 mixtape Floor Seats II by ASAP Ferg.[120][121]

Alongside DaBaby, Manson co-wrote and was a featured artist on «Jail pt 2», a song on Kanye West’s 2021 album Donda.[122] Manson and DaBaby appeared alongside West at several events promoting the album, including at a listening event held at Soldier Field in August, and at one of West’s Sunday Church Services in October.[123][124] The appearances attracted significant media attention and controversy.[125] West said the trio collaborated on a total of five songs.[122] The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, which entitled Manson to a co-nomination credit for his work on the song.[126][127] Manson continued his collaboration with West for the follow-up album, Donda 2.[128] West collaborator Digital Nas said Manson was in the recording studio «every day» while the album was recorded, and explained that West «doesn’t want Marilyn to play rap beats. He wants Marilyn to play what he makes, and then Ye will take parts of that and sample parts of that and use parts of that, like he did [generally when making] Yeezus.»[129] Manson band-member Tim Skold has confirmed he was involved in the process.[130]

While with The Spooky Kids, Manson teamed with Jeordie White (also known as Twiggy Ramirez) and Stephen Gregory Bier Jr. (also known as Madonna Wayne Gacy) in two side-projects: Satan on Fire, a faux-Christian metal ensemble where he played bass guitar, and drums in Mrs. Scabtree, a collaborative band formed with White and then girlfriend Jessicka (vocalist with the band Jack Off Jill) as a way to combat contractual agreements that prohibited Marilyn Manson from playing in certain clubs.[citation needed]

Film and television

Manson made his film debut in 1997, as an actor in David Lynch’s Lost Highway. Since then he has appeared in many minor roles and cameos, including Party Monster; then-girlfriend Rose McGowan’s 1999 film Jawbreaker; Asia Argento’s 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things; Rise; The Hire: Beat The Devil, the sixth installment in the BMW films series; and Showtime’s comedy-drama TV series Californication in 2013, in which Manson portrayed himself. He also appeared on HBO’s Eastbound & Down,[131] of which Manson is reportedly a longtime fan,[132] and had lobbied to appear on for years; and ABC’s Once Upon a Time, for which he provided the voice of the character «Shadow».[133]

He was interviewed in Michael Moore’s political documentary Bowling for Columbine (2002) discussing possible motivations for the Columbine massacre and allegations that his music was somehow a factor.[citation needed] He has appeared in animated form in Clone High and participated in several episodes of the MTV series Celebrity Deathmatch, becoming the show’s unofficial champion and mascot; he often performed the voice for his claymated puppet, and contributed the song «Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes» to the soundtrack album.[citation needed] In July 2005, Manson told Rolling Stone that he was shifting his focus from music to filmmaking – «I just don’t think the world is worth putting music into right now. I no longer want to make art that other people – particularly record companies – are turning into a product. I just want to make art.»[citation needed] Johnny Depp reportedly used Manson as his inspiration for his performance as Willy Wonka in the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.[134] Manson himself expressed interest in playing the role of Willy Wonka in the film.[135]

He had been working on his directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, a project that has been in development hell since 2004, with Manson also set to portray the role of Lewis Carroll, author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Initially announced as a web-only release, it was later decided to give the estimated $4.2 million budget film a conventional cinema release, with a slated release date of mid-2007. The film was to have an original music soundtrack with previously unreleased songs.[136] Production of the film had been postponed indefinitely until after the Eat Me, Drink Me tour.[137] In 2010, studio bosses shut down production on the project, reportedly due to viewers’ responses to the violent content of clips released on the internet. The film was later officially put on «indefinite production hold».[138]

However, according to a 2010 interview with co-writer Anthony Silva about the hold, the film was still on and the talk of it being shut down was just a myth.[139]
In a June 2013 interview, Manson stated that he had «resurrected» the project, and that Roger Avary would direct it.[140] In a separate interview during the previous year, he said a small crew similar to what he used for his «Slo-Mo-Tion» music video would be used, and would rather film the movie on an iPhone than not film it at all. In a Reddit AMA with Billy Corgan on April 4, 2015, Manson commented that he had withdrawn from the project because the writing process for the film was «so… damaging to my psyche, I’ve decided I don’t want to have anything to do with it», and further commented that the only footage that had been created thus far had been content created for the trailer, which was made in order to promote the film.[141][142]

Manson appeared in the final season of the TV series Sons of Anarchy, portraying white supremacist Ron Tully.[143] In January 2016, it was announced that Manson would be joining the cast for season 3 of WGN’s Salem. He played Thomas Dinley, a barber and surgeon described as «the go-to man in Salem, from a shave and a haircut to being leeched, bled, sliced open or sewn up».[144] In 2020, Manson was a guest star on the HBO television series The New Pope, in which he has a personal audience with the series’ Pope and recommends that he visit the prior Pope that lies unconscious in a coma.[145]

Art

Manson as Mechanical Animals‘ antagonist/character «Omega»

Manson stated in a 2004 interview with i-D magazine to have begun his career as a watercolor painter in 1999 when he made five-minute concept pieces and sold them to drug dealers. On September 13–14, 2002, his first show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions Centre. Art in America‘s Max Henry likened them to the works of a «psychiatric patient given materials to use as therapy» and said his work would never be taken seriously in a fine art context, writing that the value was «in their celebrity, not the work».[146] On September 14–15, 2004, Manson held a second exhibition on the first night in Paris and the second in Berlin. The show was named ‘Trismegistus’ which was also the title of the center piece of the exhibit – a large, three-headed Christ painted onto an antique wood panel from a portable embalmers table.

Manson named his self-proclaimed art movement Celebritarian Corporation. He has coined a slogan for the movement: «We will sell our shadow to those who stand within it.» In 2005 he said that the Celebritarian Corporation has been «incubating for seven years» which if correct would indicate that Celebritarian Corporation, in some form, started in 1998.[147] Celebritarian Corporation is also the namesake of an art gallery owned by Manson, called the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art in Los Angeles for which his third exhibition was the inaugural show. From April 2–17, 2007, his works were on show at the Space 39 Modern & Contemporary art gallery in Fort Myers, Florida. Forty pieces from this show traveled to Germany’s Gallery Brigitte Schenk in Cologne to be publicly exhibited from June 28 – July 28, 2007. Manson revealed a series of 20 paintings in 2010 entitled Genealogies of Pain, an exhibition showcased at Vienna’s Kunsthalle gallery which the artist collaborated on with David Lynch.[148]

Video games

Manson has made an appearance in the video game Area 51 as Edgar, a grey alien. His song «Cruci-Fiction in Space» is featured in a commercial for the video game, The Darkness. His likeness is also featured on the Celebrity Deathmatch video game for which he recorded a song for the soundtrack (2003). The song «Use Your Fist and Not Your Mouth» was the credits score of the game Cold Fear as well as Spawn: Armageddon. The song «Four Rusted Horses» had an alternate version used in trailers for the video game Fear 3. A remix of the song «Tainted Love» appears in the debut trailer for the 2010 video game, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and in the launch trailer of the 2012 video game Twisted Metal. Manson’s song «The Beautiful People» was featured in WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth, KickBeat and Brütal Legend. The song «Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon» is also featured in Saints Row: The Third. His music video to the song «Personal Jesus» was used in some parts of the Buzz! game series.[citation needed]

Other ventures

Manson launched «Mansinthe», his own brand of Swiss-made absinthe, which has received mixed reviews; some critics described the taste as being «just plain»,[150] but it came second to Versinthe in an Absinthe top five[151] and won a gold medal at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.[152] Other reviewers, such as critics at The Wormwood Society, have given the absinthe moderately high praise.[153] In 2015, Manson stated he was no longer drinking absinthe.[154][155]

Vocal style

Manson predominantly delivers lyrics in a melodic fashion,[156] although he invariably enhances his vocal register by utilizing several extended vocal techniques, such as vocal fry,[157] screaming,[158] growling[159] and crooning.[160][161] In one interview he claimed his voice has five different tones,[162] which mixing engineer Robert Carranza discovered can form a pentagram when imported into a phrasal analyzer.[163][164] He possesses a baritone vocal type,[165] and has a vocal range which spans three octaves.[166] His lowest bass note of A1 can be heard in «Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon», while his highest note, an E6 — the first note of the whistle register — can be heard on the Born Villain song «Hey, Cruel World…».[167]

Charles Manson, 1968

The name «Marilyn Manson» juxtaposes Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson—a sex symbol and a mass murderer, respectively, both of whom became American cultural icons.

The name Marilyn Manson is formed by a juxtaposition of two opposing American pop cultural icons: Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson.[168] Monroe, an actress, was one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and continues to be a major icon over 50 years after,[169] while Manson, a cult leader, was responsible for the murder of actress Sharon Tate, as well as several others; and served a life sentence on murder and conspiracy charges until his death in 2017.[170][171]

Manson was a culture war agitator for our side, someone willing to jar and frighten the fuck out of the power structures that seemed there to keep teenagers in their place … and his tactics made him a target, both of mass-culture disdain and of superior alt-culture snark. All that was by design. He put himself out there to take those attacks. And on some level, he’s a saint for that.

—Stereogum on Marilyn Manson.[172]

Manson has mentioned on at least two occasions that he trademarked the name Marilyn Manson. In an interview at the 2015 Cannes Lions Festival, he said: «I trademarked the name ‘Marilyn Manson’ the same way as Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. It’s not a stage name. It’s not my legal name. … Marilyn Manson is owned by Brian Warner, my real name.»[173] He also mentioned this in a 2013 interview with Larry King.[174] The records of the United States Patent and Trademark Office show that he registered four trademarks of the name between 1994 and 1999, protecting entertainment services, merchandising and branding.[175][176][177][178]

Manson says he used those trademark registrations to issue cease and desist orders to media outlets who wrongly blamed him for the Columbine High School massacre. One journalist had erroneously reported the shooters were «wearing Marilyn Manson makeup and t-shirts», although the reports were soon proved incorrect.[173] However, Manson said, «Once the wheels started spinning, Fox News started going.»[173] As a result of these accusations, Manson’s career was seriously harmed: He was shunned by many venue owners and received numerous death threats.[179]

Manson generally uses the name in lieu of his birth name. Though his mother referred to him by his birth name of Brian, his father opted to refer to his son as simply «Manson» since about 1993, saying, «It’s called respect of the artist.»[180]

Lawsuits

In September 1996, former bassist Gidget Gein negotiated a settlement with Manson where he would receive US$17,500 and 20 percent of any royalties paid for recordings and for any songs he had a hand in writing and his share of any other royalties or fees the group earned while he was a member and he could market himself as a former member of Marilyn Manson. This settlement was not honored, however.[181]

Former guitarist and founding member Scott Putesky (a.k.a. Daisy Berkowitz) filed a $15 million lawsuit in a Fort Lauderdale court against the singer, the band and the band’s attorney (David Codikow) in January 1998 after his departure from the group in the spring of 1996. Berkowitz claimed «thousands of dollars in royalties, publishing rights, and performance fees» and filed an attorney malpractice suit against Codikow, alleging that «Codikow represented Warner’s interests more than the band’s and … gave Warner disproportionate control..»[182][183] By October of that year, the suit had been settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.[184]

On November 30, 1998, a few days after the band accumulated «[a] total [of] more than $25,000» in backstage and hotel room damages during the Poughkeepsie, New York, stop of their Mechanical Animals Tour,[185] SPIN editor Craig Marks filed a $24-million lawsuit against Manson and his bodyguards. On February 19, 1999, Manson counter-sued Marks for libel, slander and defamation, seeking US$40 million in reparation.[186] Marks later dropped the lawsuit.[187] Manson apologized for the Poughkeepsie incident and offered to make financial restitution.[188][189]

In a civil battery suit, David Diaz, a security officer from a concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on October 27, 2000, sued for US$75,000 in a Minneapolis federal court.[190] The federal court jury found in Manson’s favor.[191] In a civil suit presented by Oakland County, Michigan, Manson was charged with sexual misconduct against another security officer, Joshua Keasler, during a concert in Clarkston, Michigan, on July 30, 2001. Oakland County originally filed assault and battery and criminal sexual misconduct charges,[192] but the judge reduced the latter charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.[193] Manson pleaded no contest to the reduced charges, paid a US$4,000 fine,[194] and later settled the lawsuit under undisclosed terms.[195]

On April 3, 2002, Maria St. John filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Manson of providing her adult daughter, Jennifer Syme, with cocaine and instructing her to drive while under the influence.[196] After attending a party at Manson’s house, Syme was given a lift home;[197] Manson claims she was taken home by a designated driver.[196] After she got home, she got behind the wheel of her own vehicle and was killed when she crashed it into three parked cars. Manson is reported to have said there were no alcohol or other drugs at the party; St. John’s lawyer disputed this claim.[196]

On August 2, 2007, former band member Stephen Bier filed a lawsuit against Manson for unpaid «partnership proceeds», seeking $20 million in back pay. Several details from the lawsuit leaked to the press.[198][199] In December 2007, Manson countersued, claiming that Bier failed to fulfill his duties as a band member to play for recordings and to promote the band.[200] On December 28, 2009, the suit was settled with an agreement which saw Bier’s attorneys being paid a total of $380,000.[201]

Philanthropy

Manson has supported various charitable causes throughout his career. In 2002, he worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to collaborate with a fan who had been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. 16-year-old Andrew Baines from Tennessee was invited into the band’s recording studio to record backing vocals for their then-upcoming album, The Golden Age of Grotesque. Manson said on his website, «Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with Andrew, who reminded me the things I create are only made complete by those who enjoy them. I just want to simply say, thank you to Andrew for sharing such an important wish with me.»[202][203] He contributed to Oxfam’s 2013 «Rumble in the Jumble» event, which raised money to aid victims of domestic and sexual abuse in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[204] He has supported various organizations – such as Music for Life and Little Kids Rock — which enable access to musical instruments and education to children of low-income families. He has also worked with Project Nightlight, a group that encourages children and teenagers to speak out against physical and sexual abuse.[205] In 2019, he performed alongside Cyndi Lauper at her annual ‘Home for the Holidays’ benefit concert, with all proceeds donated to Lauper’s True Colors United, which «works to develop solutions to youth homelessness that focus on the unique experiences of LGBTQ young people».[206][207]

Personal life

Relationships

Manson is heterosexual.[208] He was engaged to actress Rose McGowan from February 1999 to January 2001. McGowan later ended their engagement, citing «lifestyle differences.»[209]

Manson and burlesque dancer, model, and costume designer Dita Von Teese became a couple in 2001. He proposed on March 22, 2004, and they were married in a private, non-denominational ceremony officiated by Chilean film director Alejandro Jodorowsky.[210] On December 30, 2006, Von Teese filed for divorce due to «irreconcilable differences».[211] Von Teese also eventually stated she did not agree with Manson’s «partying or his relationship with another girl».[212] Manson’s «heavy boozing» and distant behavior were also cited as cause for the split.[213] A judgment of divorce was entered in Los Angeles Superior Court on December 27, 2007.[214]

Manson’s relationship with actress, model, and musician Evan Rachel Wood was made public in 2007.[215] They reportedly maintained an on-again, off-again relationship for several years. He proposed to Wood during a Paris stage performance in January 2010, but the couple broke off the engagement later that year.[216]

In the March 2012 issue of Revolver magazine, American photographer Lindsay Usich was referred to as Manson’s girlfriend. The article referenced a new painting by him featuring her. Usich is credited as the photo source for the cover art of Manson’s 2012 album, Born Villain. It was later confirmed that the two were romantically involved.[217] In February 2015, Manson told Beat magazine that he is «newly single».[218]

In October 2020, Manson revealed in an interview with Nicolas Cage on ABC News Radio that he was married in a private ceremony during the COVID-19 pandemic.[219] The person he married was revealed to be Usich after she changed her social media name to «Lindsay Elizabeth Warner».[220]

Manson is the godfather of Lily-Rose Depp.[221]

Beliefs

Manson claims he was a friend of Anton LaVey,[222] and early on had also claimed LaVey inducted him as a minister in the Church of Satan. Later in his career, Manson downplayed this, saying he was «not necessarily» a minister: «that was something earlier… it was a friend of mine who’s now dead, who was a philosopher that I thought I learned a lot from. And that was a title I was given, so a lot of people made a lot out of it. But it’s not a real job, I didn’t get paid for it.»[223] The Church of Satan itself later confirmed Manson was never ordained as a minister in their church.[224]

Despite that, Manson has been described as «the highest profile Satanist ever» with strong anti-Christian views and social Darwinist leanings.[225] However, Manson denies this, and stated the following:

«I’m not a misanthrope. I’m not a nihilist. I’m not an atheist. I believe in spirituality, but it really has to come from somewhere else. I learned a long time ago, you can’t try to change the world, you can just try to make something in it. I think that’s my spirituality, it’s putting something into the world. If you take all the basic principles of any religion, it’s usually about creation. There’s also destruction, but creation essentially. I was raised Christian. I went to a Christian school, because my parents wanted me to get a better education. But when I got kicked out I was sent to public school, and got beat up more by the public school kids. But then I’d go to my friend’s Passover and have fun.»

— Marilyn Manson[226]

Manson is also familiar with the writings of Aleister Crowley and Friedrich Nietzsche. He quotes Crowley throughout his autobiography, including Thelema’s principal dictum, «Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.»[227] Crowley’s esoteric subject matter forms an important theme in much of Manson’s early work.[228]

Controversies

Marilyn Manson has been referred to as one of the most iconic and controversial figures in heavy metal music,[229][230][231][232][233] with some referring to him as a «pop culture icon».[234][235][236][237] Paste magazine said there were «few artists in the 90s as shocking as Marilyn Manson, the most famous of the shock-rockers».[238] In her book Music in American Life: An Encyclopedia of the Songs, Styles, Stars, and Stories That Shaped Our Culture, author Jacqueline Edmondson writes that Manson creates music that «challenges people’s worldviews and provokes questions and further thinking».[239] Manson, his work, and the work of his eponymous band, have been involved in numerous controversies throughout their career.[240][241]

On May 30, 1996, the co-directors of political advocacy group Empower America organized a bipartisan press conference with Republican William Bennett and Democrats Joseph Lieberman and C. Delores Tucker, in which the record industry was admonished for selling «prepackaged, shrink-wrapped nihilism.» The three largely targeted rap music, but also referenced Manson; Tucker called Smells Like Children the «dirtiest, nastiest porno record directed at children that has ever hit the market» and said distributing record labels had «the blood of children on their hands», while Lieberman said the music «celebrates some of the most antisocial and immoral behaviors imaginable.» They also announced that Empower America would be launching a $25,000 radio advertising campaign to collect petitions from listeners who wanted record companies to «stop spreading this vicious, vulgar music.»[242]

The release of Antichrist Superstar in 1996 coincided with the band’s commercial breakthrough,[243] and much of the attention received by Manson from mainstream media was not positive.[244] Empower America organized another press conference in December 1996, where they criticized MCA—the owner of Interscope—president Edgar Bronfman Jr. for profiting from «profanity-laced» albums by Manson, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Doggy Dogg.[245][246] The band’s live performances also came under fire during this period; the «Dead to the World Tour» was followed by protesters at nearly every North American venue it visited.[247] Opponents of the band claimed the shows featured elements of Satanism, including a satanic altar, bestiality, rape, the distribution of free drugs,[243] homosexual acts, as well as animal and even human sacrifices.[248] Anonymous affidavits compiled by the Gulf Coast division of the American Family Association made various other claims about the live shows.[247] Students in Florida were threatened with expulsion for attending the band’s concerts.[243]

Several state legislatures, including the Utah State Legislature, South Carolina Legislature and the Virginia General Assembly, enacted legislation specifically targeting the group, banning them from performing at state-operated venues.[249][250][251] These laws would later be repealed, following separate lawsuits from fans and the American Civil Liberties Union.[249][251] Ozzy Osbourne sued the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority after they forced the cancelation of the New Jersey date of the 1997 Ozzfest at Giants Stadium; Manson’s appearance had been cited as the reason for the cancelation.[251][252] In November 1997, Manson’s lyrical content was examined during congressional hearings led by Lieberman and Sam Brownback, in an attempt to determine the effects—if any—of violent lyrics on young listeners.[253] The subcommittee heard testimony from Raymond Kuntz, who blamed his son’s suicide on Antichrist Superstar—specifically the song «The Reflecting God».[254] Lieberman went on to claim that the band’s music was driving young listeners to commit suicide,[255] and called the band the «sickest group ever promoted by a mainstream record company.»[256]

Columbine High School massacre

On April 20, 1999, Columbine High School students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed thirteen people and wounded twenty-one others before committing suicide.[257] At the time, it was the deadliest school shooting in US history.[258] In the immediate aftermath of the massacre, media reports surfaced that were heavily critical of Goth subculture,[259][260] alleging the perpetrators were wearing Marilyn Manson T-shirts during the massacre,[261] and that they were influenced by violence in entertainment, specifically movies, video games and music.[262] Five days after the incident, William Bennet and Joseph Lieberman – longtime critics of the vocalist – appeared on Meet the Press, where they cited his music as a contributing factor to the shooting.[263] Soon after, sensationalist headlines such as «Killers Worshipped Rock Freak Manson» and «Devil-Worshipping Maniac Told Kids To Kill» began appearing in media coverage of the tragedy.[264][265] Despite confirmation that the pair were fans of German industrial bands such as KMFDM and Rammstein,[266][267] and had «nothing but contempt» for Manson’s music,[268] mainstream media continued to direct the majority of blame for the shooting at Manson.[269][270]

The Mayor of Denver, Wellington Webb, successfully petitioned for the cancelation of KBPI-FM’s annual «Birthday Bash», at which Manson was scheduled to appear on April 30. Webb said the concert would be «inappropriate» because the two gunmen were thought to be fans of Manson.[271] Coloradoan politicians Bill Owens and Tom Tancredo accused Manson of promoting «hate, violence, death, suicide, drug use and the attitudes and actions of the Columbine High School killers.»[272] On April 29, ten US senators led by Brownback sent a letter to the head of Seagram, the conglomerate which owned Manson’s record label, requesting they stop distributing music to children that «glorifies violence». The letter named Manson, accusing him of producing songs that «eerily reflect» the actions of Harris and Klebold.[273]

Manson canceled the final four dates of the Rock Is Dead Tour out of respect for the victims while criticizing the media for their irresponsible coverage of the tragedy.[274][275] He elaborated on this point in an op-ed written for Rolling Stone titled «Columbine: Whose Fault Is It?». In the article, Manson castigated America’s gun culture and the political influence of the National Rifle Association, but was heavily critical of news media. He argued the media should be blamed for the next school shooting, as it was them who propagated the ensuing hysteria and «witch hunt», and said that instead of debating more relevant societal issues, the media instead facilitated the placing of blame on a scapegoat.[276][277]

On May 4, Brownback chaired a congressional hearing of the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation on the distribution and marketing of supposedly violent content to children by the film, music, television and video-game industries. The committee heard testimony from Bennett, the Archbishop of Denver Charles J. Chaput, as well as professors and mental health professionals; they criticized Manson, his label mates Nine Inch Nails, and the 1999 film The Matrix for their alleged contribution to a cultural environment enabling violence such as the Columbine shootings. Recording Industry Association of America executive Hilary Rosen said she refused to participate in the hearing as it was «staged as political theater. They just wanted to find a way to shame the industry, and I’m not ashamed.»[278] The committee eventually requested the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice investigate the entertainment industry’s marketing practices to minors.[279] The lyrical content of the band’s 2000 album Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was largely inspired by the massacre, with Manson saying it was a rebuttal to the accusations leveled against him by mainstream media.[280] He also discussed the massacre and its aftermath in Michael Moore’s 2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine.[281]

Other alleged incidents

In 2000, an elderly nun was murdered by three schoolgirls in Italy, with their diaries reportedly containing numerous references to and pictures of Manson.[282] Soon after, he was arrested following a concert in Rome for allegedly «tearing off his genitals».[282] Manson said the arrest was politically motivated following his implication in the murder by Italian tabloids.[283] In 2003, French media[which?] blamed Manson when several teenagers vandalized the graves of British war heroes in Arras, France.[282]

On June 30, 2003, 14-year old schoolgirl Jodi Jones was brutally murdered in Scotland.[284] Her mutilated body was discovered in woodland near her home, with her injuries said to closely resemble those of Elizabeth Short, commonly referred to by media as the Black Dahlia.[285][286] Ten months later, Jones’s boyfriend Luke Mitchell, then-fifteen years old, was arrested on suspicion of her murder.[287] Police confiscated a copy of The Golden Age of Grotesque containing the short film Doppelherz during a search of Mitchell’s family home,[288] which had been purchased by Mitchell two days after Jones’s death.[289] A ten-minute excerpt from the film, as well as several paintings created by Manson depicting the Black Dahlia’s mutilated body, were presented as evidence during the trial.[288][290][291] Mitchell was found guilty of her murder and was sentenced to a minimum of twenty years in prison.[292] In his closing summation, Lord Nimmo Smith said he believed Mitchell «carried an image of [Manson’s] paintings in your memory when you killed Jodi.»[293] Mitchell continues to profess his innocence.[294]

The controversy connecting Manson to school shootings continued on October 10, 2007, when fourteen-year old Asa Coon shot four people at SuccessTech Academy in Cleveland, Ohio, before committing suicide.[295] While exiting a bathroom, Coon was punched in the face by another student, and responded by shooting his attacker in the abdomen.[296] Coon then walked down the hallway and shot in to two occupied classrooms – wounding two teachers and a student – before entering a bathroom and committing suicide.[297] Coon was wearing a Marilyn Manson T-shirt during the shooting.[298][299] A photograph of Coon’s dead body was circulated online by Cleveland police officer Walter Emerick.[300] On May 18, 2009, Justin Doucet, a fifteen-year-old student at Larose-Cut Off Middle School in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, entered the school with a semi-automatic pistol.[301] After a teacher refused to comply with Doucet’s demand to say «Hail Marilyn Manson», he fired two shots that narrowly missed the teacher’s head, before shooting himself.[302][303] Doucet died from his injuries a week later.[304]

Abuse allegations

Several of Manson’s former acquaintances began communicating with one another in September 2020.[305][306] In a letter dated January 21, 2021, California State Senator Susan Rubio wrote to the director of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney General, asking them to investigate allegations several women had made against Manson.[307] On February 1, former fiancée Evan Rachel Wood wrote on Instagram and in a statement to Vanity Fair, accusing Manson of being abusive during their relationship a decade earlier.[308] Four other women simultaneously issued statements also accusing Manson of abuse.[309] Wood continued to make allegations against Manson and his wife Lindsay Usich on Instagram, claiming that his alleged abuse included antisemitism,[310] and said she filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department against Usich for threatening to leak photographs of Wood dressed in a Nazi uniform while wearing an Adolf Hitler-style toothbrush moustache.[311] A total of sixteen people have made various allegations against Manson,[3][312] including five accusations of sexual assault.[313]

Manson was immediately dropped by distributing record label Loma Vista Recordings,[314] his talent agency Creative Artists,[315] and his long-time manager Tony Ciulla.[316] He was also removed from future episodes of TV series American Gods and Creepshow, in which he was scheduled to appear.[3][317] On February 2, Manson issued a statement via Instagram, saying, «Obviously, my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners», and claimed the accusers were «misrepresenting the past».[318] His former wife Dita Von Teese stated that «the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple.»[319] Former girlfriend Rose McGowan said that Manson was not abusive during their relationship but that her experience had «no bearing on whether he was like that with others before or after».[320] On February 3, the LAPD performed a «welfare check» at Manson’s home after receiving a call from a purported friend who was concerned for his wellbeing.[321][322] The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed on February 19 that they were investigating Manson due to allegations of domestic violence.[323]

Four women filed civil lawsuits against Manson in the months that followed Wood’s allegations:[324] Esmé Bianco,[325] Ashley Morgan Smithline,[326] Ashley Walters,[327] and an anonymous woman.[328] Manson’s legal team issued statements denying the allegations.[329][330] They filed a motion to dismiss these lawsuits, calling the claims «untrue, meritless» and alleging that several of the accusers «spent months plotting, workshopping, and fine-tuning their stories to turn what were consensual friendships and relationships with Warner from more than a decade ago, into twisted tales that bear no resemblance to reality».[331] The lawsuit filed by the anonymous woman was initially dismissed because it exceeded the statute of limitations,[332][333] although an amended complaint was refiled soon after.[334][335] Manson’s legal team also sought to have Bianco’s lawsuit dismissed because it exceeded the statute of limitations, although a federal judge denied that motion.[336][337] Walters’s lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in May.[338][339] Morgan Smithline’s lawsuit was also dismissed by a federal judge, after her lawyer withdrew from her case and she did not meet a court-ordered deadline regarding her representation in the case.[340] Bianco and Manson reached an out-of-court settlement in January 2023 with undisclosed terms of agreement.[341]

Manson filed a lawsuit against Wood and Ashley «Illma» Gore for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, as well as the impersonation of an FBI agent and falsifying federal documents.[342] In the suit, it is alleged that Wood and Gore spent three years contacting his former girlfriends and provided «checklists and scripts» to prospective accusers in order to corroborate Wood’s claims,[343][344] and that the pair impersonated and falsified documents from an FBI agent.[345] The suit additionally claims Gore hacked into Manson’s computers and social media, and created fake email accounts to manufacture evidence he had been distributing «illicit pornography».[346] It is also alleged that Gore swatted Manson by calling the FBI claiming to be a friend concerned about an «emergency» at his home. As a result of the call, several police officers were dispatched to his property, where «there was no emergency».[347] He is seeking a jury trial.[348][349]

The LACSD presented the findings of their 19-month investigation of the sexual assault allegations made against Manson to California district attorney George Gascón in September 2022.[350] Gascón called the file «partial» and said more evidence was needed in order to file charges.[351][352] Smithline, who previously attempted to sue Manson, recanted her allegations in legal documents in February 2023, claiming she was «manipulated» and «pressured» by Wood and her associates to make allegations against Manson that were «not true».[313][353][354]

Notes

  1. ^ «In an attempt to reiterate the lesson of Willy Wonka in my own style during shows, I hung a donkey piñata over the crowd and put a stick on the edge of the stage. Then I would warn, ‘Please, don’t break that open. I beg you not to.’ Human psychology being what it is, kids in the crowd would invariably grab the stick and smash the piñata apart, forcing everyone to suffer the consequence, which would be a shower of cow brains, chicken livers and pig intestines from [the] disemboweled donkey.»[23]
  2. ^ «Well, there was always a real chip on our shoulder that [Portrait of an American Family] never really got the push from the record label that we thought it deserved. It was all about us touring our fucking asses off. We toured for two years solid, opening up for Nine Inch Nails for a year and then doing our own club tours. It was all just about perseverance.»[28]
  3. ^ Michael Beinhorn, the co-producer of Mechanical Animals, said: «When Mechanical Animals came out, the projected sales figure for the first week was 300,000 copies. [The label was] excited, saying, ‘We’re going to hit No.1 and sell 300k!’. It sold 230,000 and got to No.1, but it wasn’t enough. The label lost interest, they took down the huge billboard they had in Times Square for the album, the president of the label called Manson up, screaming at him for having tits on the cover. I think that, and what happened at Columbine, which really affected him emotionally, meant that he never made an album up to the standard of Mechanical Animals or Antichrist Superstar again. He just didn’t get the support.»[47]

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), known professionally as Marilyn Manson, is an American rock musician. He came to prominence as the lead singer of the band that shares his name, of which he remains the only constant member since its formation in 1989. Known for his controversial stage personality and public image, his stage name (like the other founding members of the band) was formed by combining the names of two opposing American cultural icons: actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson.

Manson is best known for music released in the 1990s, including the albums Portrait of an American Family (1994), Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998), which earned him a reputation in mainstream media as a controversial figure and negative influence on young people when combined with his public image.[1][2] In the U.S. alone, three of the band’s albums have been awarded platinum status and three more went gold, and the band has had eight releases debut in the top 10, including two No. 1 albums. Manson has been ranked at No. 44 on the list of the «Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists» by Hit Parader and, along with his band, has been nominated for four Grammy Awards–Manson himself earned an additional Grammy nomination for his work on Kanye West’s Donda. Manson made his film debut as an actor in David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997), and has since appeared in a variety of minor roles and cameos. In 2002, his first art show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions center.

He is widely considered one of the most controversial figures in heavy metal music, and has been involved in numerous controversies throughout his career. His lyrics were criticized by American politicians and were examined in congressional hearings. Several U.S. states enacted legislation specifically banning the group from performing in state-operated venues. In 1999, news media falsely blamed Manson for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. His work has been cited in several other violent events; his paintings and films appeared as evidence in a murder trial, and he has been accused of inspiring several other murders and school shootings. In 2021, multiple women accused Manson of psychologically and sexually abusing them, allegations he denied.[3]

Early life

Brian Hugh Warner was born in Canton, Ohio, on January 5, 1969,[4] the son of Barbara Warner Wyer (died May 13, 2014)[5] and Hugh Angus Warner (died July 7, 2017).[6][7] He is of English, German, Irish, and Polish descent,[8][9] and has also claimed that his mother’s family (who hailed from the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia) had Sioux heritage.[10] As a child, he attended his mother’s Episcopal church, though his father was a Roman Catholic.[11][12] He attended Heritage Christian School from first to tenth grade. In that school, his instructors tried to show children what music they were not supposed to listen to; Warner then fell in love with what he «wasn’t supposed to.»[13] Warner later transferred to GlenOak High School and graduated from there in 1987. After relocating with his parents, he became a student at Broward Community College in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1990. He was working towards a degree in journalism, gaining experience in the field by writing articles for the music magazine 25th Parallel.[14] He also interviewed musicians and soon met several of the musicians to whom his own work was later compared, including Groovie Mann from My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, with the latter later becoming his mentor and producing his debut album.[15]

Career

Music

The band was formed in 1989 by Warner and guitarist Scott Putesky,[16][17] with Warner writing lyrics and Putesky composing the majority of music.[18] Warner adopted the stage name Marilyn Manson and, alongside a revolving lineup of musicians, recorded the band’s first demo tape as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids in 1990.[19][20] The group quickly developed a loyal fanbase within the South Florida punk and hardcore music scene, primarily as a result of their intentionally shocking concerts; band members often performed in women’s clothing or bizarre costumes, and live shows routinely featured amateur pyrotechnics, naked women nailed to crucifixes, children locked in cages,[21][22] as well as experiments in reverse psychology and butchered animals remains.[N 1] Within six months of forming, they were playing sold-out shows in 300-capacity nightclubs throughout Florida.[24] They signed a record deal with Sony Music in early 1991, although this deal was rescinded before any material was recorded for the label. The band instead used the proceeds of this deal to fund the recording of subsequent demo tapes, which were released independently.[25]

The name of the group was shortened to Marilyn Manson in 1992, and they continued to perform and release cassettes until the summer of 1993,[21] when Reznor signed the act to his vanity label Nothing Records.[26] Their debut studio album, Portrait of an American Family, was released in July 1994.[27] Manson later criticized Nothing Records and its parent label Interscope for a perceived lack of promotion.[N 2] While recording b-sides and remixes for the album’s proposed third single, «Dope Hat», the band decided to issue the resultant material as a standalone release titled Smells Like Children.[29] The record included their cover version of the Eurythmics’s «Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)», which established the band as a mainstream act.[26][30] The song’s music video was placed on heavy rotation on MTV,[31] and earned the band their first nomination for Best Rock Video at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards.[32] Their second studio album, 1996’s Antichrist Superstar, sparked a fierce backlash among Christian fundamentalists.[33] The album was an immediate commercial success, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200 and selling almost 2 million copies in the United States alone,[34][35] and 7 million copies worldwide.[36][37] Lead single «The Beautiful People» received three nominations at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards,[38] where the band also performed.[39]

For 1998’s Mechanical Animals, Manson said he took inspiration from 1970s glam rock, and adopted a wardrobe and hairstyle similar to David Bowie.[40] He said he did this to avoid being portrayed as a «bogeyman», a role which had been ascribed to him by mainstream media following the band’s commercial breakthrough.[33] Interscope’s promotion of the album was massive,[41] with the label erecting enormous billboards of Manson as an androgynous extraterrestrial in Times Square and the Sunset Strip.[40] Lead single «The Dope Show» was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards.[42] The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[43] but was the lowest-selling number-one album of 1998 in the United States,[44] with sales of 1.4 million copies in the country as of 2017.[45] The album was not well received by longtime fans, who complained about its radio-friendly sound and accused the vocalist of «selling out»,[46] and Interscope were reportedly disappointed with its commercial performance.[N 3]

Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was a return to the band’s industrial metal roots after the glam-influenced Mechanical Animals,[48] and was the vocalist’s response to media coverage blaming him for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. The album was a critical success, with numerous publications praising it as the band’s finest work.[49] Despite being certified gold in the United States for shipments in excess of half a million units,[50] mainstream media openly questioned the band’s commercial appeal, noting the dominance of nu metal and controversial hip hop artists such as Eminem.[51][52] A cover of «Tainted Love» was an international hit in 2002, peaking at number one in several territories.[53]

The Golden Age of Grotesque was released the following year, an album primarily inspired by the swing and burlesque movements of 1920s Berlin.[54] In an extended metaphor found throughout the record, Manson compared his own often-criticized work to the Entartete Kunst banned by the Nazi regime.[55] Like Mechanical Animals in 1998, The Golden Age of Grotesque debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[34] but was the lowest-selling studio album to debut at number one that year, selling 527,000 copies in the United States as of 2008.[44] The album was more successful in Europe, where it sold over 400,000 on its first week of release to debut at number one on Billboard‘s European Top 100 Albums.[56] Manson began his collaboration with French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier during this period, who designed much of the elaborate attire worn by the band on the supporting «Grotesk Burlesk Tour».[57] The greatest hits compilation Lest We Forget: The Best Of was released in 2004.[58]

«He’s very savvy in that he lets people think things about him or plays into things to see what will happen, almost like a performance artist. He’s a visionary in a way, because he identified a culture that was coming and now that culture is everywhere.»

—Billy Corgan on Marilyn Manson, 2014[59]

After a three-year hiatus, in which the vocalist pursued other interests,[60] the band returned with 2007’s Eat Me, Drink Me. The album’s lyrical content largely related to the dissolution of Manson’s marriage to Dita Von Teese and his affair with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood.[61] Seventh studio album The High End of Low was released in 2009, and was their final album issued by Interscope. While promoting the record, Manson made a series of disparaging comments about the label and its artistic censorship, as well as its president Jimmy Iovine.[62] Manson signed a lucrative recording contract with British independent record label Cooking Vinyl in 2011, with the band and label sharing profits equally after the label recouped costs associated with marketing, promotion and distribution.[63] The first album released under the deal was 2012’s Born Villain.[64] Lead single «No Reflection» earned the band their fourth Grammy nomination.[42] Subsequent albums were released in the United States by Loma Vista Recordings, beginning with 2015’s The Pale Emperor, which was widely seen as a return to form[65][66] and was a commercial success upon release.[67][68]

Heaven Upside Down followed in 2017,[69] with its single «Kill4Me» becoming the band’s highest-peaking single ever on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock.[70] While touring in support of the record, Manson was injured by two large falling stage props as he performed on stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, breaking his fibula in two places, requiring a plate and ten screws to be inserted in the bone, as well as another screw in his ankle, which he had sprained during a show in Pittsburgh.[71][72] «God’s Gonna Cut You Down» was released as a non-album single in 2019,[73][74] and is the band’s highest-peaking single on Billboard‘s Hot Rock Songs and Rock Digital Songs.[75][76] Their most recent studio album, 2020’s We Are Chaos, was the band’s tenth top ten release on the Billboard 200.[77]

According to Nielsen SoundScan, the band sold 8.7 million albums alone in the United States as of 2011.[63] Three of their albums received platinum awards from the Recording Industry Association of America, and a further three received gold certifications.[78] Ten of their releases debuted in the top ten of the Billboard 200, including two number-one albums.[77] In the United Kingdom, the band are certified for sales of almost 1.75 million units.[79] Marilyn Manson has sold over 50 million records worldwide.[80][81][82][83]

Musical collaborations

In addition to his work with the band, Manson has collaborated extensively with other musicians.[84] Cello rock act Rasputina opened for the band throughout the «Dead to the World Tour», the controversial tour supporting Antichrist Superstar.[85] Lead vocalist Melora Creager performed cello and backing vocals for the band, most notably for renditions of «Apple of Sodom», a live version of which appeared as a b-side on Manson’s 1998 single «The Dope Show».[86] Manson also created three remixes of the song «Transylvanian Concubine», two of which appeared on their 1997 EP Transylvanian Regurgitations.[87] Manson befriended The Smashing Pumpkins vocalist Billy Corgan in 1997,[88] and performed renditions of «Eye» and «The Beautiful People» alongside that band at the 1997 edition of Bridge School Benefit concert.[89] Manson frequently consulted Corgan during the early stages of recording Mechanical Animals. Referring to its inclusion of glam rock influences, Corgan advised Manson that «This is definitely the right direction» but to «go all the way with it. Don’t just hint at it».[90] In 2015, Marilyn Manson and the Smashing Pumpkins embarked on a co-healining tour titled «The End Times Tour».[91]

To promote Mechanical Animals in 1998, the band embarked on their first co-headlining concert tour: the «Beautiful Monsters Tour» with Hole.[92] The tour was problematic,[93] with Manson and Hole vocalist Courtney Love frequently insulting one another both on-stage and during interviews.[94] Private disputes also arose over finances, as Hole were unwittingly financing most of Manson’s production costs, which were disproportionately high relative to Hole’s.[95] The tour was to consist of thirty-seven dates,[92] although Hole left after nine.[94] When Hole departed from the tour, it was renamed the «Rock Is Dead Tour», with Jack Off Jill announced as one of the support acts.[96] Manson had produced many of Jack Off Jill’s demo recordings in the early 90s, and later wrote the liner notes to their 2006 compilation Humid Teenage Mediocrity 1992–1996.[97][98]

Manson launched his own vanity label in 2000, Posthuman Records.[99] The label released two albums – the 2000 soundtrack to Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 and Godhead’s 2001 album 2000 Years of Human Error – before being dissolved in 2003.[100] The latter album sold over 100,000 copies in the United States,[101] and featured him performing vocals on the track «Break You Down».[102] He performed vocals on «Redeemer», a song written by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis that featured on the 2002 album Queen of the Damned: Music from the Motion Picture.[103] Davis had been prevented from singing the song due to contractual issues with his record label.[104] Manson also contributed a remix of the Linkin Park song «By Myself» to that band’s remix album Reanimation,[105] and collaborated with Marco Beltrami to create the score for the 2002 film Resident Evil.[106]

He performed vocals on the Chew Fu GhettoHouse Fix remix of Lady Gaga’s «LoveGame», which was featured as a b-side on the song’s single in 2008.[107] He was a featured vocalist on «Can’t Haunt Me»,[108] a track recorded in 2011 for Skylar Grey’s unreleased album Invinsible.[109] He appeared on «Bad Girl», a song from Avril Lavigne’s 2013 self-titled album,[84] and featured on the song «Hypothetical» from Emigrate’s 2014 album Silent So Long.[110] New Orleans brass ensemble the Soul Rebels performed «The Beautiful People» alongside Manson at the 2015 edition of the Japanese Summer Sonic Festival.[111] Manson recorded vocals on a cover of Bowie’s «Cat People (Putting Out Fire)» for country musician Shooter Jennings’s 2016 album Countach (For Giorgio).[112][113] The two were introduced in 2013 by Manson’s then-bassist Twiggy Ramirez,[114] and the pair first collaborated that same year on a song for the soundtrack to television series Sons of Anarchy.[115] Their version of the song, «Join the Human Gang», remains unreleased, but the track was eventually rewritten and released by The White Buffalo as «Come Join the Murder».[114] Jennings later produced Manson’s 2020 album We Are Chaos.[114]

Manson has collaborated with numerous hip hop artists. In 1998, he featured on «The Omen (Damien II)», a track on DMX’s album Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood.[116][117] Following the Columbine High School massacre, Manson was mentioned in the lyrics to Eminem’s «The Way I Am» from The Marshall Mathers LP, in the lyric «When a dude’s getting bullied and he shoots up the school and they blame it on Marilyn». Manson appeared in the song’s music video, and a remix created by Danny Lohner and featuring Manson appeared on special editions of The Marshall Mathers LP. Manson also joined Eminem on-stage for several live performances of the track, one of which featured on Eminem’s 2002 video album All Access Europe.[118] He featured on «Pussy Wet», a song on Gucci Mane’s 2013 mixtape Diary of a Trap God,[119] and provided vocals on the song «Marilyn Manson» on the 2020 mixtape Floor Seats II by ASAP Ferg.[120][121]

Alongside DaBaby, Manson co-wrote and was a featured artist on «Jail pt 2», a song on Kanye West’s 2021 album Donda.[122] Manson and DaBaby appeared alongside West at several events promoting the album, including at a listening event held at Soldier Field in August, and at one of West’s Sunday Church Services in October.[123][124] The appearances attracted significant media attention and controversy.[125] West said the trio collaborated on a total of five songs.[122] The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, which entitled Manson to a co-nomination credit for his work on the song.[126][127] Manson continued his collaboration with West for the follow-up album, Donda 2.[128] West collaborator Digital Nas said Manson was in the recording studio «every day» while the album was recorded, and explained that West «doesn’t want Marilyn to play rap beats. He wants Marilyn to play what he makes, and then Ye will take parts of that and sample parts of that and use parts of that, like he did [generally when making] Yeezus.»[129] Manson band-member Tim Skold has confirmed he was involved in the process.[130]

While with The Spooky Kids, Manson teamed with Jeordie White (also known as Twiggy Ramirez) and Stephen Gregory Bier Jr. (also known as Madonna Wayne Gacy) in two side-projects: Satan on Fire, a faux-Christian metal ensemble where he played bass guitar, and drums in Mrs. Scabtree, a collaborative band formed with White and then girlfriend Jessicka (vocalist with the band Jack Off Jill) as a way to combat contractual agreements that prohibited Marilyn Manson from playing in certain clubs.[citation needed]

Film and television

Manson made his film debut in 1997, as an actor in David Lynch’s Lost Highway. Since then he has appeared in many minor roles and cameos, including Party Monster; then-girlfriend Rose McGowan’s 1999 film Jawbreaker; Asia Argento’s 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things; Rise; The Hire: Beat The Devil, the sixth installment in the BMW films series; and Showtime’s comedy-drama TV series Californication in 2013, in which Manson portrayed himself. He also appeared on HBO’s Eastbound & Down,[131] of which Manson is reportedly a longtime fan,[132] and had lobbied to appear on for years; and ABC’s Once Upon a Time, for which he provided the voice of the character «Shadow».[133]

He was interviewed in Michael Moore’s political documentary Bowling for Columbine (2002) discussing possible motivations for the Columbine massacre and allegations that his music was somehow a factor.[citation needed] He has appeared in animated form in Clone High and participated in several episodes of the MTV series Celebrity Deathmatch, becoming the show’s unofficial champion and mascot; he often performed the voice for his claymated puppet, and contributed the song «Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes» to the soundtrack album.[citation needed] In July 2005, Manson told Rolling Stone that he was shifting his focus from music to filmmaking – «I just don’t think the world is worth putting music into right now. I no longer want to make art that other people – particularly record companies – are turning into a product. I just want to make art.»[citation needed] Johnny Depp reportedly used Manson as his inspiration for his performance as Willy Wonka in the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.[134] Manson himself expressed interest in playing the role of Willy Wonka in the film.[135]

He had been working on his directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, a project that has been in development hell since 2004, with Manson also set to portray the role of Lewis Carroll, author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Initially announced as a web-only release, it was later decided to give the estimated $4.2 million budget film a conventional cinema release, with a slated release date of mid-2007. The film was to have an original music soundtrack with previously unreleased songs.[136] Production of the film had been postponed indefinitely until after the Eat Me, Drink Me tour.[137] In 2010, studio bosses shut down production on the project, reportedly due to viewers’ responses to the violent content of clips released on the internet. The film was later officially put on «indefinite production hold».[138]

However, according to a 2010 interview with co-writer Anthony Silva about the hold, the film was still on and the talk of it being shut down was just a myth.[139]
In a June 2013 interview, Manson stated that he had «resurrected» the project, and that Roger Avary would direct it.[140] In a separate interview during the previous year, he said a small crew similar to what he used for his «Slo-Mo-Tion» music video would be used, and would rather film the movie on an iPhone than not film it at all. In a Reddit AMA with Billy Corgan on April 4, 2015, Manson commented that he had withdrawn from the project because the writing process for the film was «so… damaging to my psyche, I’ve decided I don’t want to have anything to do with it», and further commented that the only footage that had been created thus far had been content created for the trailer, which was made in order to promote the film.[141][142]

Manson appeared in the final season of the TV series Sons of Anarchy, portraying white supremacist Ron Tully.[143] In January 2016, it was announced that Manson would be joining the cast for season 3 of WGN’s Salem. He played Thomas Dinley, a barber and surgeon described as «the go-to man in Salem, from a shave and a haircut to being leeched, bled, sliced open or sewn up».[144] In 2020, Manson was a guest star on the HBO television series The New Pope, in which he has a personal audience with the series’ Pope and recommends that he visit the prior Pope that lies unconscious in a coma.[145]

Art

Manson as Mechanical Animals‘ antagonist/character «Omega»

Manson stated in a 2004 interview with i-D magazine to have begun his career as a watercolor painter in 1999 when he made five-minute concept pieces and sold them to drug dealers. On September 13–14, 2002, his first show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions Centre. Art in America‘s Max Henry likened them to the works of a «psychiatric patient given materials to use as therapy» and said his work would never be taken seriously in a fine art context, writing that the value was «in their celebrity, not the work».[146] On September 14–15, 2004, Manson held a second exhibition on the first night in Paris and the second in Berlin. The show was named ‘Trismegistus’ which was also the title of the center piece of the exhibit – a large, three-headed Christ painted onto an antique wood panel from a portable embalmers table.

Manson named his self-proclaimed art movement Celebritarian Corporation. He has coined a slogan for the movement: «We will sell our shadow to those who stand within it.» In 2005 he said that the Celebritarian Corporation has been «incubating for seven years» which if correct would indicate that Celebritarian Corporation, in some form, started in 1998.[147] Celebritarian Corporation is also the namesake of an art gallery owned by Manson, called the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art in Los Angeles for which his third exhibition was the inaugural show. From April 2–17, 2007, his works were on show at the Space 39 Modern & Contemporary art gallery in Fort Myers, Florida. Forty pieces from this show traveled to Germany’s Gallery Brigitte Schenk in Cologne to be publicly exhibited from June 28 – July 28, 2007. Manson revealed a series of 20 paintings in 2010 entitled Genealogies of Pain, an exhibition showcased at Vienna’s Kunsthalle gallery which the artist collaborated on with David Lynch.[148]

Video games

Manson has made an appearance in the video game Area 51 as Edgar, a grey alien. His song «Cruci-Fiction in Space» is featured in a commercial for the video game, The Darkness. His likeness is also featured on the Celebrity Deathmatch video game for which he recorded a song for the soundtrack (2003). The song «Use Your Fist and Not Your Mouth» was the credits score of the game Cold Fear as well as Spawn: Armageddon. The song «Four Rusted Horses» had an alternate version used in trailers for the video game Fear 3. A remix of the song «Tainted Love» appears in the debut trailer for the 2010 video game, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and in the launch trailer of the 2012 video game Twisted Metal. Manson’s song «The Beautiful People» was featured in WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth, KickBeat and Brütal Legend. The song «Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon» is also featured in Saints Row: The Third. His music video to the song «Personal Jesus» was used in some parts of the Buzz! game series.[citation needed]

Manson launched «Mansinthe», his own brand of Swiss-made absinthe, which has received mixed reviews; some critics described the taste as being «just plain»,[150] but it came second to Versinthe in an Absinthe top five[151] and won a gold medal at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.[152] Other reviewers, such as critics at The Wormwood Society, have given the absinthe moderately high praise.[153] In 2015, Manson stated he was no longer drinking absinthe.[154][155]

Vocal style

Manson predominantly delivers lyrics in a melodic fashion,[156] although he invariably enhances his vocal register by utilizing several extended vocal techniques, such as vocal fry,[157] screaming,[158] growling[159] and crooning.[160][161] In one interview he claimed his voice has five different tones,[162] which mixing engineer Robert Carranza discovered can form a pentagram when imported into a phrasal analyzer.[163][164] He possesses a baritone vocal type,[165] and has a vocal range which spans three octaves.[166] His lowest bass note of A1 can be heard in «Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon», while his highest note, an E6 — the first note of the whistle register — can be heard on the Born Villain song «Hey, Cruel World…».[167]

Charles Manson, 1968

The name «Marilyn Manson» juxtaposes Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson—a sex symbol and a mass murderer, respectively, both of whom became American cultural icons.

The name Marilyn Manson is formed by a juxtaposition of two opposing American pop cultural icons: Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson.[168] Monroe, an actress, was one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and continues to be a major icon over 50 years after,[169] while Manson, a cult leader, was responsible for the murder of actress Sharon Tate, as well as several others; and served a life sentence on murder and conspiracy charges until his death in 2017.[170][171]

Manson was a culture war agitator for our side, someone willing to jar and frighten the fuck out of the power structures that seemed there to keep teenagers in their place … and his tactics made him a target, both of mass-culture disdain and of superior alt-culture snark. All that was by design. He put himself out there to take those attacks. And on some level, he’s a saint for that.

—Stereogum on Marilyn Manson.[172]

Manson has mentioned on at least two occasions that he trademarked the name Marilyn Manson. In an interview at the 2015 Cannes Lions Festival, he said: «I trademarked the name ‘Marilyn Manson’ the same way as Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. It’s not a stage name. It’s not my legal name. … Marilyn Manson is owned by Brian Warner, my real name.»[173] He also mentioned this in a 2013 interview with Larry King.[174] The records of the United States Patent and Trademark Office show that he registered four trademarks of the name between 1994 and 1999, protecting entertainment services, merchandising and branding.[175][176][177][178]

Manson says he used those trademark registrations to issue cease and desist orders to media outlets who wrongly blamed him for the Columbine High School massacre. One journalist had erroneously reported the shooters were «wearing Marilyn Manson makeup and t-shirts», although the reports were soon proved incorrect.[173] However, Manson said, «Once the wheels started spinning, Fox News started going.»[173] As a result of these accusations, Manson’s career was seriously harmed: He was shunned by many venue owners and received numerous death threats.[179]

Manson generally uses the name in lieu of his birth name. Though his mother referred to him by his birth name of Brian, his father opted to refer to his son as simply «Manson» since about 1993, saying, «It’s called respect of the artist.»[180]

Lawsuits

In September 1996, former bassist Gidget Gein negotiated a settlement with Manson where he would receive US$17,500 and 20 percent of any royalties paid for recordings and for any songs he had a hand in writing and his share of any other royalties or fees the group earned while he was a member and he could market himself as a former member of Marilyn Manson. This settlement was not honored, however.[181]

Former guitarist and founding member Scott Putesky (a.k.a. Daisy Berkowitz) filed a $15 million lawsuit in a Fort Lauderdale court against the singer, the band and the band’s attorney (David Codikow) in January 1998 after his departure from the group in the spring of 1996. Berkowitz claimed «thousands of dollars in royalties, publishing rights, and performance fees» and filed an attorney malpractice suit against Codikow, alleging that «Codikow represented Warner’s interests more than the band’s and … gave Warner disproportionate control..»[182][183] By October of that year, the suit had been settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.[184]

On November 30, 1998, a few days after the band accumulated «[a] total [of] more than $25,000» in backstage and hotel room damages during the Poughkeepsie, New York, stop of their Mechanical Animals Tour,[185] SPIN editor Craig Marks filed a $24-million lawsuit against Manson and his bodyguards. On February 19, 1999, Manson counter-sued Marks for libel, slander and defamation, seeking US$40 million in reparation.[186] Marks later dropped the lawsuit.[187] Manson apologized for the Poughkeepsie incident and offered to make financial restitution.[188][189]

In a civil battery suit, David Diaz, a security officer from a concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on October 27, 2000, sued for US$75,000 in a Minneapolis federal court.[190] The federal court jury found in Manson’s favor.[191] In a civil suit presented by Oakland County, Michigan, Manson was charged with sexual misconduct against another security officer, Joshua Keasler, during a concert in Clarkston, Michigan, on July 30, 2001. Oakland County originally filed assault and battery and criminal sexual misconduct charges,[192] but the judge reduced the latter charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.[193] Manson pleaded no contest to the reduced charges, paid a US$4,000 fine,[194] and later settled the lawsuit under undisclosed terms.[195]

On April 3, 2002, Maria St. John filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Manson of providing her adult daughter, Jennifer Syme, with cocaine and instructing her to drive while under the influence.[196] After attending a party at Manson’s house, Syme was given a lift home;[197] Manson claims she was taken home by a designated driver.[196] After she got home, she got behind the wheel of her own vehicle and was killed when she crashed it into three parked cars. Manson is reported to have said there were no alcohol or other drugs at the party; St. John’s lawyer disputed this claim.[196]

On August 2, 2007, former band member Stephen Bier filed a lawsuit against Manson for unpaid «partnership proceeds», seeking $20 million in back pay. Several details from the lawsuit leaked to the press.[198][199] In December 2007, Manson countersued, claiming that Bier failed to fulfill his duties as a band member to play for recordings and to promote the band.[200] On December 28, 2009, the suit was settled with an agreement which saw Bier’s attorneys being paid a total of $380,000.[201]

Philanthropy

Manson has supported various charitable causes throughout his career. In 2002, he worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to collaborate with a fan who had been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. 16-year-old Andrew Baines from Tennessee was invited into the band’s recording studio to record backing vocals for their then-upcoming album, The Golden Age of Grotesque. Manson said on his website, «Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with Andrew, who reminded me the things I create are only made complete by those who enjoy them. I just want to simply say, thank you to Andrew for sharing such an important wish with me.»[202][203] He contributed to Oxfam’s 2013 «Rumble in the Jumble» event, which raised money to aid victims of domestic and sexual abuse in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[204] He has supported various organizations – such as Music for Life and Little Kids Rock — which enable access to musical instruments and education to children of low-income families. He has also worked with Project Nightlight, a group that encourages children and teenagers to speak out against physical and sexual abuse.[205] In 2019, he performed alongside Cyndi Lauper at her annual ‘Home for the Holidays’ benefit concert, with all proceeds donated to Lauper’s True Colors United, which «works to develop solutions to youth homelessness that focus on the unique experiences of LGBTQ young people».[206][207]

Personal life

Relationships

Manson is heterosexual.[208] He was engaged to actress Rose McGowan from February 1999 to January 2001. McGowan later ended their engagement, citing «lifestyle differences.»[209]

Manson and burlesque dancer, model, and costume designer Dita Von Teese became a couple in 2001. He proposed on March 22, 2004, and they were married in a private, non-denominational ceremony officiated by Chilean film director Alejandro Jodorowsky.[210] On December 30, 2006, Von Teese filed for divorce due to «irreconcilable differences».[211] Von Teese also eventually stated she did not agree with Manson’s «partying or his relationship with another girl».[212] Manson’s «heavy boozing» and distant behavior were also cited as cause for the split.[213] A judgment of divorce was entered in Los Angeles Superior Court on December 27, 2007.[214]

Manson’s relationship with actress, model, and musician Evan Rachel Wood was made public in 2007.[215] They reportedly maintained an on-again, off-again relationship for several years. He proposed to Wood during a Paris stage performance in January 2010, but the couple broke off the engagement later that year.[216]

In the March 2012 issue of Revolver magazine, American photographer Lindsay Usich was referred to as Manson’s girlfriend. The article referenced a new painting by him featuring her. Usich is credited as the photo source for the cover art of Manson’s 2012 album, Born Villain. It was later confirmed that the two were romantically involved.[217] In February 2015, Manson told Beat magazine that he is «newly single».[218]

In October 2020, Manson revealed in an interview with Nicolas Cage on ABC News Radio that he was married in a private ceremony during the COVID-19 pandemic.[219] The person he married was revealed to be Usich after she changed her social media name to «Lindsay Elizabeth Warner».[220]

Manson is the godfather of Lily-Rose Depp.[221]

Beliefs

Manson claims he was a friend of Anton LaVey,[222] and early on had also claimed LaVey inducted him as a minister in the Church of Satan. Later in his career, Manson downplayed this, saying he was «not necessarily» a minister: «that was something earlier… it was a friend of mine who’s now dead, who was a philosopher that I thought I learned a lot from. And that was a title I was given, so a lot of people made a lot out of it. But it’s not a real job, I didn’t get paid for it.»[223] The Church of Satan itself later confirmed Manson was never ordained as a minister in their church.[224]

Despite that, Manson has been described as «the highest profile Satanist ever» with strong anti-Christian views and social Darwinist leanings.[225] However, Manson denies this, and stated the following:

«I’m not a misanthrope. I’m not a nihilist. I’m not an atheist. I believe in spirituality, but it really has to come from somewhere else. I learned a long time ago, you can’t try to change the world, you can just try to make something in it. I think that’s my spirituality, it’s putting something into the world. If you take all the basic principles of any religion, it’s usually about creation. There’s also destruction, but creation essentially. I was raised Christian. I went to a Christian school, because my parents wanted me to get a better education. But when I got kicked out I was sent to public school, and got beat up more by the public school kids. But then I’d go to my friend’s Passover and have fun.»

— Marilyn Manson[226]

Manson is also familiar with the writings of Aleister Crowley and Friedrich Nietzsche. He quotes Crowley throughout his autobiography, including Thelema’s principal dictum, «Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.»[227] Crowley’s esoteric subject matter forms an important theme in much of Manson’s early work.[228]

Controversies

Marilyn Manson has been referred to as one of the most iconic and controversial figures in heavy metal music,[229][230][231][232][233] with some referring to him as a «pop culture icon».[234][235][236][237] Paste magazine said there were «few artists in the 90s as shocking as Marilyn Manson, the most famous of the shock-rockers».[238] In her book Music in American Life: An Encyclopedia of the Songs, Styles, Stars, and Stories That Shaped Our Culture, author Jacqueline Edmondson writes that Manson creates music that «challenges people’s worldviews and provokes questions and further thinking».[239] Manson, his work, and the work of his eponymous band, have been involved in numerous controversies throughout their career.[240][241]

On May 30, 1996, the co-directors of political advocacy group Empower America organized a bipartisan press conference with Republican William Bennett and Democrats Joseph Lieberman and C. Delores Tucker, in which the record industry was admonished for selling «prepackaged, shrink-wrapped nihilism.» The three largely targeted rap music, but also referenced Manson; Tucker called Smells Like Children the «dirtiest, nastiest porno record directed at children that has ever hit the market» and said distributing record labels had «the blood of children on their hands», while Lieberman said the music «celebrates some of the most antisocial and immoral behaviors imaginable.» They also announced that Empower America would be launching a $25,000 radio advertising campaign to collect petitions from listeners who wanted record companies to «stop spreading this vicious, vulgar music.»[242]

The release of Antichrist Superstar in 1996 coincided with the band’s commercial breakthrough,[243] and much of the attention received by Manson from mainstream media was not positive.[244] Empower America organized another press conference in December 1996, where they criticized MCA—the owner of Interscope—president Edgar Bronfman Jr. for profiting from «profanity-laced» albums by Manson, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Doggy Dogg.[245][246] The band’s live performances also came under fire during this period; the «Dead to the World Tour» was followed by protesters at nearly every North American venue it visited.[247] Opponents of the band claimed the shows featured elements of Satanism, including a satanic altar, bestiality, rape, the distribution of free drugs,[243] homosexual acts, as well as animal and even human sacrifices.[248] Anonymous affidavits compiled by the Gulf Coast division of the American Family Association made various other claims about the live shows.[247] Students in Florida were threatened with expulsion for attending the band’s concerts.[243]

Several state legislatures, including the Utah State Legislature, South Carolina Legislature and the Virginia General Assembly, enacted legislation specifically targeting the group, banning them from performing at state-operated venues.[249][250][251] These laws would later be repealed, following separate lawsuits from fans and the American Civil Liberties Union.[249][251] Ozzy Osbourne sued the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority after they forced the cancelation of the New Jersey date of the 1997 Ozzfest at Giants Stadium; Manson’s appearance had been cited as the reason for the cancelation.[251][252] In November 1997, Manson’s lyrical content was examined during congressional hearings led by Lieberman and Sam Brownback, in an attempt to determine the effects—if any—of violent lyrics on young listeners.[253] The subcommittee heard testimony from Raymond Kuntz, who blamed his son’s suicide on Antichrist Superstar—specifically the song «The Reflecting God».[254] Lieberman went on to claim that the band’s music was driving young listeners to commit suicide,[255] and called the band the «sickest group ever promoted by a mainstream record company.»[256]

Columbine High School massacre

On April 20, 1999, Columbine High School students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed thirteen people and wounded twenty-one others before committing suicide.[257] At the time, it was the deadliest school shooting in US history.[258] In the immediate aftermath of the massacre, media reports surfaced that were heavily critical of Goth subculture,[259][260] alleging the perpetrators were wearing Marilyn Manson T-shirts during the massacre,[261] and that they were influenced by violence in entertainment, specifically movies, video games and music.[262] Five days after the incident, William Bennet and Joseph Lieberman – longtime critics of the vocalist – appeared on Meet the Press, where they cited his music as a contributing factor to the shooting.[263] Soon after, sensationalist headlines such as «Killers Worshipped Rock Freak Manson» and «Devil-Worshipping Maniac Told Kids To Kill» began appearing in media coverage of the tragedy.[264][265] Despite confirmation that the pair were fans of German industrial bands such as KMFDM and Rammstein,[266][267] and had «nothing but contempt» for Manson’s music,[268] mainstream media continued to direct the majority of blame for the shooting at Manson.[269][270]

The Mayor of Denver, Wellington Webb, successfully petitioned for the cancelation of KBPI-FM’s annual «Birthday Bash», at which Manson was scheduled to appear on April 30. Webb said the concert would be «inappropriate» because the two gunmen were thought to be fans of Manson.[271] Coloradoan politicians Bill Owens and Tom Tancredo accused Manson of promoting «hate, violence, death, suicide, drug use and the attitudes and actions of the Columbine High School killers.»[272] On April 29, ten US senators led by Brownback sent a letter to the head of Seagram, the conglomerate which owned Manson’s record label, requesting they stop distributing music to children that «glorifies violence». The letter named Manson, accusing him of producing songs that «eerily reflect» the actions of Harris and Klebold.[273]

Manson canceled the final four dates of the Rock Is Dead Tour out of respect for the victims while criticizing the media for their irresponsible coverage of the tragedy.[274][275] He elaborated on this point in an op-ed written for Rolling Stone titled «Columbine: Whose Fault Is It?». In the article, Manson castigated America’s gun culture and the political influence of the National Rifle Association, but was heavily critical of news media. He argued the media should be blamed for the next school shooting, as it was them who propagated the ensuing hysteria and «witch hunt», and said that instead of debating more relevant societal issues, the media instead facilitated the placing of blame on a scapegoat.[276][277]

On May 4, Brownback chaired a congressional hearing of the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation on the distribution and marketing of supposedly violent content to children by the film, music, television and video-game industries. The committee heard testimony from Bennett, the Archbishop of Denver Charles J. Chaput, as well as professors and mental health professionals; they criticized Manson, his label mates Nine Inch Nails, and the 1999 film The Matrix for their alleged contribution to a cultural environment enabling violence such as the Columbine shootings. Recording Industry Association of America executive Hilary Rosen said she refused to participate in the hearing as it was «staged as political theater. They just wanted to find a way to shame the industry, and I’m not ashamed.»[278] The committee eventually requested the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice investigate the entertainment industry’s marketing practices to minors.[279] The lyrical content of the band’s 2000 album Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was largely inspired by the massacre, with Manson saying it was a rebuttal to the accusations leveled against him by mainstream media.[280] He also discussed the massacre and its aftermath in Michael Moore’s 2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine.[281]

Other alleged incidents

In 2000, an elderly nun was murdered by three schoolgirls in Italy, with their diaries reportedly containing numerous references to and pictures of Manson.[282] Soon after, he was arrested following a concert in Rome for allegedly «tearing off his genitals».[282] Manson said the arrest was politically motivated following his implication in the murder by Italian tabloids.[283] In 2003, French media[which?] blamed Manson when several teenagers vandalized the graves of British war heroes in Arras, France.[282]

On June 30, 2003, 14-year old schoolgirl Jodi Jones was brutally murdered in Scotland.[284] Her mutilated body was discovered in woodland near her home, with her injuries said to closely resemble those of Elizabeth Short, commonly referred to by media as the Black Dahlia.[285][286] Ten months later, Jones’s boyfriend Luke Mitchell, then-fifteen years old, was arrested on suspicion of her murder.[287] Police confiscated a copy of The Golden Age of Grotesque containing the short film Doppelherz during a search of Mitchell’s family home,[288] which had been purchased by Mitchell two days after Jones’s death.[289] A ten-minute excerpt from the film, as well as several paintings created by Manson depicting the Black Dahlia’s mutilated body, were presented as evidence during the trial.[288][290][291] Mitchell was found guilty of her murder and was sentenced to a minimum of twenty years in prison.[292] In his closing summation, Lord Nimmo Smith said he believed Mitchell «carried an image of [Manson’s] paintings in your memory when you killed Jodi.»[293] Mitchell continues to profess his innocence.[294]

The controversy connecting Manson to school shootings continued on October 10, 2007, when fourteen-year old Asa Coon shot four people at SuccessTech Academy in Cleveland, Ohio, before committing suicide.[295] While exiting a bathroom, Coon was punched in the face by another student, and responded by shooting his attacker in the abdomen.[296] Coon then walked down the hallway and shot in to two occupied classrooms – wounding two teachers and a student – before entering a bathroom and committing suicide.[297] Coon was wearing a Marilyn Manson T-shirt during the shooting.[298][299] A photograph of Coon’s dead body was circulated online by Cleveland police officer Walter Emerick.[300] On May 18, 2009, Justin Doucet, a fifteen-year-old student at Larose-Cut Off Middle School in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, entered the school with a semi-automatic pistol.[301] After a teacher refused to comply with Doucet’s demand to say «Hail Marilyn Manson», he fired two shots that narrowly missed the teacher’s head, before shooting himself.[302][303] Doucet died from his injuries a week later.[304]

Abuse allegations

Several of Manson’s former acquaintances began communicating with one another in September 2020.[305][306] In a letter dated January 21, 2021, California State Senator Susan Rubio wrote to the director of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney General, asking them to investigate allegations several women had made against Manson.[307] On February 1, former fiancée Evan Rachel Wood wrote on Instagram and in a statement to Vanity Fair, accusing Manson of being abusive during their relationship a decade earlier.[308] Four other women simultaneously issued statements also accusing Manson of abuse.[309] Wood continued to make allegations against Manson and his wife Lindsay Usich on Instagram, claiming that his alleged abuse included antisemitism,[310] and said she filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department against Usich for threatening to leak photographs of Wood dressed in a Nazi uniform while wearing an Adolf Hitler-style toothbrush moustache.[311] A total of sixteen people have made various allegations against Manson,[3][312] including five accusations of sexual assault.[313]

Manson was immediately dropped by distributing record label Loma Vista Recordings,[314] his talent agency Creative Artists,[315] and his long-time manager Tony Ciulla.[316] He was also removed from future episodes of TV series American Gods and Creepshow, in which he was scheduled to appear.[3][317] On February 2, Manson issued a statement via Instagram, saying, «Obviously, my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners», and claimed the accusers were «misrepresenting the past».[318] His former wife Dita Von Teese stated that «the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple.»[319] Former girlfriend Rose McGowan said that Manson was not abusive during their relationship but that her experience had «no bearing on whether he was like that with others before or after».[320] On February 3, the LAPD performed a «welfare check» at Manson’s home after receiving a call from a purported friend who was concerned for his wellbeing.[321][322] The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed on February 19 that they were investigating Manson due to allegations of domestic violence.[323]

Four women filed civil lawsuits against Manson in the months that followed Wood’s allegations:[324] Esmé Bianco,[325] Ashley Morgan Smithline,[326] Ashley Walters,[327] and an anonymous woman.[328] Manson’s legal team issued statements denying the allegations.[329][330] They filed a motion to dismiss these lawsuits, calling the claims «untrue, meritless» and alleging that several of the accusers «spent months plotting, workshopping, and fine-tuning their stories to turn what were consensual friendships and relationships with Warner from more than a decade ago, into twisted tales that bear no resemblance to reality».[331] The lawsuit filed by the anonymous woman was initially dismissed because it exceeded the statute of limitations,[332][333] although an amended complaint was refiled soon after.[334][335] Manson’s legal team also sought to have Bianco’s lawsuit dismissed because it exceeded the statute of limitations, although a federal judge denied that motion.[336][337] Walters’s lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in May.[338][339] Morgan Smithline’s lawsuit was also dismissed by a federal judge, after her lawyer withdrew from her case and she did not meet a court-ordered deadline regarding her representation in the case.[340] Bianco and Manson reached an out-of-court settlement in January 2023 with undisclosed terms of agreement.[341]

Manson filed a lawsuit against Wood and Ashley «Illma» Gore for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, as well as the impersonation of an FBI agent and falsifying federal documents.[342] In the suit, it is alleged that Wood and Gore spent three years contacting his former girlfriends and provided «checklists and scripts» to prospective accusers in order to corroborate Wood’s claims,[343][344] and that the pair impersonated and falsified documents from an FBI agent.[345] The suit additionally claims Gore hacked into Manson’s computers and social media, and created fake email accounts to manufacture evidence he had been distributing «illicit pornography».[346] It is also alleged that Gore swatted Manson by calling the FBI claiming to be a friend concerned about an «emergency» at his home. As a result of the call, several police officers were dispatched to his property, where «there was no emergency».[347] He is seeking a jury trial.[348][349]

The LACSD presented the findings of their 19-month investigation of the sexual assault allegations made against Manson to California district attorney George Gascón in September 2022.[350] Gascón called the file «partial» and said more evidence was needed in order to file charges.[351][352] Smithline, who previously attempted to sue Manson, recanted her allegations in legal documents in February 2023, claiming she was «manipulated» and «pressured» by Wood and her associates to make allegations against Manson that were «not true».[313][353][354]

It was all about us touring our fucking asses off. We toured for two years solid, opening up for Nine Inch Nails for a year and then doing our own club tours. It was all just about perseverance.»[28]
  3. ^ Michael Beinhorn, the co-producer of Mechanical Animals, said: «When Mechanical Animals came out, the projected sales figure for the first week was 300,000 copies. [The label was] excited, saying, ‘We’re going to hit No.1 and sell 300k!’. It sold 230,000 and got to No.1, but it wasn’t enough. The label lost interest, they took down the huge billboard they had in Times Square for the album, the president of the label called Manson up, screaming at him for having tits on the cover. I think that, and what happened at Columbine, which really affected him emotionally, meant that he never made an album up to the standard of Mechanical Animals or Antichrist Superstar again. He just didn’t get the support.»[47]

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), known professionally as Marilyn Manson, is an American rock musician. He came to prominence as the lead singer of the band that shares his name, of which he remains the only constant member since its formation in 1989. Known for his controversial stage personality and public image, his stage name (like the other founding members of the band) was formed by combining the names of two opposing American cultural icons: actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson.

Manson is best known for music released in the 1990s, including the albums Portrait of an American Family (1994), Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998), which earned him a reputation in mainstream media as a controversial figure and negative influence on young people when combined with his public image.[1][2] In the U.S. alone, three of the band’s albums have been awarded platinum status and three more went gold, and the band has had eight releases debut in the top 10, including two No. 1 albums. Manson has been ranked at No. 44 on the list of the «Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists» by Hit Parader and, along with his band, has been nominated for four Grammy Awards–Manson himself earned an additional Grammy nomination for his work on Kanye West’s Donda. Manson made his film debut as an actor in David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997), and has since appeared in a variety of minor roles and cameos. In 2002, his first art show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions center.

He is widely considered one of the most controversial figures in heavy metal music, and has been involved in numerous controversies throughout his career. His lyrics were criticized by American politicians and were examined in congressional hearings. Several U.S. states enacted legislation specifically banning the group from performing in state-operated venues. In 1999, news media falsely blamed Manson for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. His work has been cited in several other violent events; his paintings and films appeared as evidence in a murder trial, and he has been accused of inspiring several other murders and school shootings. In 2021, multiple women accused Manson of psychologically and sexually abusing them, allegations he denied.[3]

Early life

Brian Hugh Warner was born in Canton, Ohio, on January 5, 1969,[4] the son of Barbara Warner Wyer (died May 13, 2014)[5] and Hugh Angus Warner (died July 7, 2017).[6][7] He is of English, German, Irish, and Polish descent,[8][9] and has also claimed that his mother’s family (who hailed from the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia) had Sioux heritage.[10] As a child, he attended his mother’s Episcopal church, though his father was a Roman Catholic.[11][12] He attended Heritage Christian School from first to tenth grade. In that school, his instructors tried to show children what music they were not supposed to listen to; Warner then fell in love with what he «wasn’t supposed to.»[13] Warner later transferred to GlenOak High School and graduated from there in 1987. After relocating with his parents, he became a student at Broward Community College in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1990. He was working towards a degree in journalism, gaining experience in the field by writing articles for the music magazine 25th Parallel.[14] He also interviewed musicians and soon met several of the musicians to whom his own work was later compared, including Groovie Mann from My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, with the latter later becoming his mentor and producing his debut album.[15]

The band was formed in 1989 by Warner and guitarist Scott Putesky,[16][17] with Warner writing lyrics and Putesky composing the majority of music.[18] Warner adopted the stage name Marilyn Manson and, alongside a revolving lineup of musicians, recorded the band’s first demo tape as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids in 1990.[19][20] The group quickly developed a loyal fanbase within the South Florida punk and hardcore music scene, primarily as a result of their intentionally shocking concerts; band members often performed in women’s clothing or bizarre costumes, and live shows routinely featured amateur pyrotechnics, naked women nailed to crucifixes, children locked in cages,[21][22] as well as experiments in reverse psychology and butchered animals remains.[N 1] Within six months of forming, they were playing sold-out shows in 300-capacity nightclubs throughout Florida.[24] They signed a record deal with Sony Music in early 1991, although this deal was rescinded before any material was recorded for the label. The band instead used the proceeds of this deal to fund the recording of subsequent demo tapes, which were released independently.[25]

The name of the group was shortened to Marilyn Manson in 1992, and they continued to perform and release cassettes until the summer of 1993,[21] when Reznor signed the act to his vanity label Nothing Records.[26] Their debut studio album, Portrait of an American Family, was released in July 1994.[27] Manson later criticized Nothing Records and its parent label Interscope for a perceived lack of promotion.[N 2] While recording b-sides and remixes for the album’s proposed third single, «Dope Hat», the band decided to issue the resultant material as a standalone release titled Smells Like Children.[29] The record included their cover version of the Eurythmics’s «Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)», which established the band as a mainstream act.[26][30] The song’s music video was placed on heavy rotation on MTV,[31] and earned the band their first nomination for Best Rock Video at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards.[32] Their second studio album, 1996’s Antichrist Superstar, sparked a fierce backlash among Christian fundamentalists.[33] The album was an immediate commercial success, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200 and selling almost 2 million copies in the United States alone,[34][35] and 7 million copies worldwide.[36][37] Lead single «The Beautiful People» received three nominations at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards,[38] where the band also performed.[39]

For 1998’s Mechanical Animals, Manson said he took inspiration from 1970s glam rock, and adopted a wardrobe and hairstyle similar to David Bowie.[40] He said he did this to avoid being portrayed as a «bogeyman», a role which had been ascribed to him by mainstream media following the band’s commercial breakthrough.[33] Interscope’s promotion of the album was massive,[41] with the label erecting enormous billboards of Manson as an androgynous extraterrestrial in Times Square and the Sunset Strip.[40] Lead single «The Dope Show» was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards.[42] The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[43] but was the lowest-selling number-one album of 1998 in the United States,[44] with sales of 1.4 million copies in the country as of 2017.[45] The album was not well received by longtime fans, who complained about its radio-friendly sound and accused the vocalist of «selling out»,[46] and Interscope were reportedly disappointed with its commercial performance.[N 3]

Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was a return to the band’s industrial metal roots after the glam-influenced Mechanical Animals,[48] and was the vocalist’s response to media coverage blaming him for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. The album was a critical success, with numerous publications praising it as the band’s finest work.[49] Despite being certified gold in the United States for shipments in excess of half a million units,[50] mainstream media openly questioned the band’s commercial appeal, noting the dominance of nu metal and controversial hip hop artists such as Eminem.[51][52] A cover of «Tainted Love» was an international hit in 2002, peaking at number one in several territories.[53]

The Golden Age of Grotesque was released the following year, an album primarily inspired by the swing and burlesque movements of 1920s Berlin.[54] In an extended metaphor found throughout the record, Manson compared his own often-criticized work to the Entartete Kunst banned by the Nazi regime.[55] Like Mechanical Animals in 1998, The Golden Age of Grotesque debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[34] but was the lowest-selling studio album to debut at number one that year, selling 527,000 copies in the United States as of 2008.[44] The album was more successful in Europe, where it sold over 400,000 on its first week of release to debut at number one on Billboard‘s European Top 100 Albums.[56] Manson began his collaboration with French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier during this period, who designed much of the elaborate attire worn by the band on the supporting «Grotesk Burlesk Tour».[57] The greatest hits compilation Lest We Forget: The Best Of was released in 2004.[58]

«He’s very savvy in that he lets people think things about him or plays into things to see what will happen, almost like a performance artist. He’s a visionary in a way, because he identified a culture that was coming and now that culture is everywhere.»

—Billy Corgan on Marilyn Manson, 2014[59]

After a three-year hiatus, in which the vocalist pursued other interests,[60] the band returned with 2007’s Eat Me, Drink Me. The album’s lyrical content largely related to the dissolution of Manson’s marriage to Dita Von Teese and his affair with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood.[61] Seventh studio album The High End of Low was released in 2009, and was their final album issued by Interscope. While promoting the record, Manson made a series of disparaging comments about the label and its artistic censorship, as well as its president Jimmy Iovine.[62] Manson signed a lucrative recording contract with British independent record label Cooking Vinyl in 2011, with the band and label sharing profits equally after the label recouped costs associated with marketing, promotion and distribution.[63] The first album released under the deal was 2012’s Born Villain.[64] Lead single «No Reflection» earned the band their fourth Grammy nomination.[42] Subsequent albums were released in the United States by Loma Vista Recordings, beginning with 2015’s The Pale Emperor, which was widely seen as a return to form[65][66] and was a commercial success upon release.[67][68]

Heaven Upside Down followed in 2017,[69] with its single «Kill4Me» becoming the band’s highest-peaking single ever on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock.[70] While touring in support of the record, Manson was injured by two large falling stage props as he performed on stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, breaking his fibula in two places, requiring a plate and ten screws to be inserted in the bone, as well as another screw in his ankle, which he had sprained during a show in Pittsburgh.[71][72] «God’s Gonna Cut You Down» was released as a non-album single in 2019,[73][74] and is the band’s highest-peaking single on Billboard‘s Hot Rock Songs and Rock Digital Songs.[75][76] Their most recent studio album, 2020’s We Are Chaos, was the band’s tenth top ten release on the Billboard 200.[77]

According to Nielsen SoundScan, the band sold 8.7 million albums alone in the United States as of 2011.[63] Three of their albums received platinum awards from the Recording Industry Association of America, and a further three received gold certifications.[78] Ten of their releases debuted in the top ten of the Billboard 200, including two number-one albums.[77] In the United Kingdom, the band are certified for sales of almost 1.75 million units.[79] Marilyn Manson has sold over 50 million records worldwide.[80][81][82][83]

Musical collaborations

In addition to his work with the band, Manson has collaborated extensively with other musicians.[84] Cello rock act Rasputina opened for the band throughout the «Dead to the World Tour», the controversial tour supporting Antichrist Superstar.[85] Lead vocalist Melora Creager performed cello and backing vocals for the band, most notably for renditions of «Apple of Sodom», a live version of which appeared as a b-side on Manson’s 1998 single «The Dope Show».[86] Manson also created three remixes of the song «Transylvanian Concubine», two of which appeared on their 1997 EP Transylvanian Regurgitations.[87] Manson befriended The Smashing Pumpkins vocalist Billy Corgan in 1997,[88] and performed renditions of «Eye» and «The Beautiful People» alongside that band at the 1997 edition of Bridge School Benefit concert.[89] Manson frequently consulted Corgan during the early stages of recording Mechanical Animals. Referring to its inclusion of glam rock influences, Corgan advised Manson that «This is definitely the right direction» but to «go all the way with it. Don’t just hint at it».[90] In 2015, Marilyn Manson and the Smashing Pumpkins embarked on a co-healining tour titled «The End Times Tour».[91]

To promote Mechanical Animals in 1998, the band embarked on their first co-headlining concert tour: the «Beautiful Monsters Tour» with Hole.[92] The tour was problematic,[93] with Manson and Hole vocalist Courtney Love frequently insulting one another both on-stage and during interviews.[94] Private disputes also arose over finances, as Hole were unwittingly financing most of Manson’s production costs, which were disproportionately high relative to Hole’s.[95] The tour was to consist of thirty-seven dates,[92] although Hole left after nine.[94] When Hole departed from the tour, it was renamed the «Rock Is Dead Tour», with Jack Off Jill announced as one of the support acts.[96] Manson had produced many of Jack Off Jill’s demo recordings in the early 90s, and later wrote the liner notes to their 2006 compilation Humid Teenage Mediocrity 1992–1996.[97][98]

Manson launched his own vanity label in 2000, Posthuman Records.[99] The label released two albums – the 2000 soundtrack to Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 and Godhead’s 2001 album 2000 Years of Human Error – before being dissolved in 2003.[100] The latter album sold over 100,000 copies in the United States,[101] and featured him performing vocals on the track «Break You Down».[102] He performed vocals on «Redeemer», a song written by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis that featured on the 2002 album Queen of the Damned: Music from the Motion Picture.[103] Davis had been prevented from singing the song due to contractual issues with his record label.[104] Manson also contributed a remix of the Linkin Park song «By Myself» to that band’s remix album Reanimation,[105] and collaborated with Marco Beltrami to create the score for the 2002 film Resident Evil.[106]

He performed vocals on the Chew Fu GhettoHouse Fix remix of Lady Gaga’s «LoveGame», which was featured as a b-side on the song’s single in 2008.[107] He was a featured vocalist on «Can’t Haunt Me»,[108] a track recorded in 2011 for Skylar Grey’s unreleased album Invinsible.[109] He appeared on «Bad Girl», a song from Avril Lavigne’s 2013 self-titled album,[84] and featured on the song «Hypothetical» from Emigrate’s 2014 album Silent So Long.[110] New Orleans brass ensemble the Soul Rebels performed «The Beautiful People» alongside Manson at the 2015 edition of the Japanese Summer Sonic Festival.[111] Manson recorded vocals on a cover of Bowie’s «Cat People (Putting Out Fire)» for country musician Shooter Jennings’s 2016 album Countach (For Giorgio).[112][113] The two were introduced in 2013 by Manson’s then-bassist Twiggy Ramirez,[114] and the pair first collaborated that same year on a song for the soundtrack to television series Sons of Anarchy.[115] Their version of the song, «Join the Human Gang», remains unreleased, but the track was eventually rewritten and released by The White Buffalo as «Come Join the Murder».[114] Jennings later produced Manson’s 2020 album We Are Chaos.[114]

Manson has collaborated with numerous hip hop artists. In 1998, he featured on «The Omen (Damien II)», a track on DMX’s album Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood.[116][117] Following the Columbine High School massacre, Manson was mentioned in the lyrics to Eminem’s «The Way I Am» from The Marshall Mathers LP, in the lyric «When a dude’s getting bullied and he shoots up the school and they blame it on Marilyn». Manson appeared in the song’s music video, and a remix created by Danny Lohner and featuring Manson appeared on special editions of The Marshall Mathers LP. Manson also joined Eminem on-stage for several live performances of the track, one of which featured on Eminem’s 2002 video album All Access Europe.[118] He featured on «Pussy Wet», a song on Gucci Mane’s 2013 mixtape Diary of a Trap God,[119] and provided vocals on the song «Marilyn Manson» on the 2020 mixtape Floor Seats II by ASAP Ferg.[120][121]

Alongside DaBaby, Manson co-wrote and was a featured artist on «Jail pt 2», a song on Kanye West’s 2021 album Donda.[122] Manson and DaBaby appeared alongside West at several events promoting the album, including at a listening event held at Soldier Field in August, and at one of West’s Sunday Church Services in October.[123][124] The appearances attracted significant media attention and controversy.[125] West said the trio collaborated on a total of five songs.[122] The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, which entitled Manson to a co-nomination credit for his work on the song.[126][127] Manson continued his collaboration with West for the follow-up album, Donda 2.[128] West collaborator Digital Nas said Manson was in the recording studio «every day» while the album was recorded, and explained that West «doesn’t want Marilyn to play rap beats. He wants Marilyn to play what he makes, and then Ye will take parts of that and sample parts of that and use parts of that, like he did [generally when making] Yeezus.»[129] Manson band-member Tim Skold has confirmed he was involved in the process.[130]

While with The Spooky Kids, Manson teamed with Jeordie White (also known as Twiggy Ramirez) and Stephen Gregory Bier Jr. (also known as Madonna Wayne Gacy) in two side-projects: Satan on Fire, a faux-Christian metal ensemble where he played bass guitar, and drums in Mrs. Scabtree, a collaborative band formed with White and then girlfriend Jessicka (vocalist with the band Jack Off Jill) as a way to combat contractual agreements that prohibited Marilyn Manson from playing in certain clubs.[citation needed]

Film and television

Manson made his film debut in 1997, as an actor in David Lynch’s Lost Highway. Since then he has appeared in many minor roles and cameos, including Party Monster; then-girlfriend Rose McGowan’s 1999 film Jawbreaker; Asia Argento’s 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things; Rise; The Hire: Beat The Devil, the sixth installment in the BMW films series; and Showtime’s comedy-drama TV series Californication in 2013, in which Manson portrayed himself. He also appeared on HBO’s Eastbound & Down,[131] of which Manson is reportedly a longtime fan,[132] and had lobbied to appear on for years; and ABC’s Once Upon a Time, for which he provided the voice of the character «Shadow».[133]

He was interviewed in Michael Moore’s political documentary Bowling for Columbine (2002) discussing possible motivations for the Columbine massacre and allegations that his music was somehow a factor.[citation needed] He has appeared in animated form in Clone High and participated in several episodes of the MTV series Celebrity Deathmatch, becoming the show’s unofficial champion and mascot; he often performed the voice for his claymated puppet, and contributed the song «Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes» to the soundtrack album.[citation needed] In July 2005, Manson told Rolling Stone that he was shifting his focus from music to filmmaking – «I just don’t think the world is worth putting music into right now. I no longer want to make art that other people – particularly record companies – are turning into a product. I just want to make art.»[citation needed] Johnny Depp reportedly used Manson as his inspiration for his performance as Willy Wonka in the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.[134] Manson himself expressed interest in playing the role of Willy Wonka in the film.[135]

He had been working on his directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, a project that has been in development hell since 2004, with Manson also set to portray the role of Lewis Carroll, author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Initially announced as a web-only release, it was later decided to give the estimated $4.2 million budget film a conventional cinema release, with a slated release date of mid-2007. The film was to have an original music soundtrack with previously unreleased songs.[136] Production of the film had been postponed indefinitely until after the Eat Me, Drink Me tour.[137] In 2010, studio bosses shut down production on the project, reportedly due to viewers’ responses to the violent content of clips released on the internet. The film was later officially put on «indefinite production hold».[138]

However, according to a 2010 interview with co-writer Anthony Silva about the hold, the film was still on and the talk of it being shut down was just a myth.[139]
In a June 2013 interview, Manson stated that he had «resurrected» the project, and that Roger Avary would direct it.[140] In a separate interview during the previous year, he said a small crew similar to what he used for his «Slo-Mo-Tion» music video would be used, and would rather film the movie on an iPhone than not film it at all. In a Reddit AMA with Billy Corgan on April 4, 2015, Manson commented that he had withdrawn from the project because the writing process for the film was «so… damaging to my psyche, I’ve decided I don’t want to have anything to do with it», and further commented that the only footage that had been created thus far had been content created for the trailer, which was made in order to promote the film.[141][142]

Manson appeared in the final season of the TV series Sons of Anarchy, portraying white supremacist Ron Tully.[143] In January 2016, it was announced that Manson would be joining the cast for season 3 of WGN’s Salem. He played Thomas Dinley, a barber and surgeon described as «the go-to man in Salem, from a shave and a haircut to being leeched, bled, sliced open or sewn up».[144] In 2020, Manson was a guest star on the HBO television series The New Pope, in which he has a personal audience with the series’ Pope and recommends that he visit the prior Pope that lies unconscious in a coma.[145]

Art

Manson as Mechanical Animals‘ antagonist/character «Omega»

Manson stated in a 2004 interview with i-D magazine to have begun his career as a watercolor painter in 1999 when he made five-minute concept pieces and sold them to drug dealers. On September 13–14, 2002, his first show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions Centre. Art in America‘s Max Henry likened them to the works of a «psychiatric patient given materials to use as therapy» and said his work would never be taken seriously in a fine art context, writing that the value was «in their celebrity, not the work».[146] On September 14–15, 2004, Manson held a second exhibition on the first night in Paris and the second in Berlin. The show was named ‘Trismegistus’ which was also the title of the center piece of the exhibit – a large, three-headed Christ painted onto an antique wood panel from a portable embalmers table.

Manson named his self-proclaimed art movement Celebritarian Corporation. He has coined a slogan for the movement: «We will sell our shadow to those who stand within it.» In 2005 he said that the Celebritarian Corporation has been «incubating for seven years» which if correct would indicate that Celebritarian Corporation, in some form, started in 1998.[147] Celebritarian Corporation is also the namesake of an art gallery owned by Manson, called the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art in Los Angeles for which his third exhibition was the inaugural show. From April 2–17, 2007, his works were on show at the Space 39 Modern & Contemporary art gallery in Fort Myers, Florida. Forty pieces from this show traveled to Germany’s Gallery Brigitte Schenk in Cologne to be publicly exhibited from June 28 – July 28, 2007. Manson revealed a series of 20 paintings in 2010 entitled Genealogies of Pain, an exhibition showcased at Vienna’s Kunsthalle gallery which the artist collaborated on with David Lynch.[148]

Video games

Manson has made an appearance in the video game Area 51 as Edgar, a grey alien. His song «Cruci-Fiction in Space» is featured in a commercial for the video game, The Darkness. His likeness is also featured on the Celebrity Deathmatch video game for which he recorded a song for the soundtrack (2003). The song «Use Your Fist and Not Your Mouth» was the credits score of the game Cold Fear as well as Spawn: Armageddon. The song «Four Rusted Horses» had an alternate version used in trailers for the video game Fear 3. A remix of the song «Tainted Love» appears in the debut trailer for the 2010 video game, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and in the launch trailer of the 2012 video game Twisted Metal. Manson’s song «The Beautiful People» was featured in WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth, KickBeat and Brütal Legend. The song «Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon» is also featured in Saints Row: The Third. His music video to the song «Personal Jesus» was used in some parts of the Buzz! game series.[citation needed]

Other ventures

Manson launched «Mansinthe», his own brand of Swiss-made absinthe, which has received mixed reviews; some critics described the taste as being «just plain»,[150] but it came second to Versinthe in an Absinthe top five[151] and won a gold medal at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.[152] Other reviewers, such as critics at The Wormwood Society, have given the absinthe moderately high praise.[153] In 2015, Manson stated he was no longer drinking absinthe.[154][155]

Vocal style

Manson predominantly delivers lyrics in a melodic fashion,[156] although he invariably enhances his vocal register by utilizing several extended vocal techniques, such as vocal fry,[157] screaming,[158] growling[159] and crooning.[160][161] In one interview he claimed his voice has five different tones,[162] which mixing engineer Robert Carranza discovered can form a pentagram when imported into a phrasal analyzer.[163][164] He possesses a baritone vocal type,[165] and has a vocal range which spans three octaves.[166] His lowest bass note of A1 can be heard in «Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon», while his highest note, an E6 — the first note of the whistle register — can be heard on the Born Villain song «Hey, Cruel World…».[167]

Charles Manson, 1968

The name «Marilyn Manson» juxtaposes Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson—a sex symbol and a mass murderer, respectively, both of whom became American cultural icons.

The name Marilyn Manson is formed by a juxtaposition of two opposing American pop cultural icons: Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson.[168] Monroe, an actress, was one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and continues to be a major icon over 50 years after,[169] while Manson, a cult leader, was responsible for the murder of actress Sharon Tate, as well as several others; and served a life sentence on murder and conspiracy charges until his death in 2017.[170][171]

Manson was a culture war agitator for our side, someone willing to jar and frighten the fuck out of the power structures that seemed there to keep teenagers in their place … and his tactics made him a target, both of mass-culture disdain and of superior alt-culture snark. All that was by design. He put himself out there to take those attacks. And on some level, he’s a saint for that.

—Stereogum on Marilyn Manson.[172]

Manson has mentioned on at least two occasions that he trademarked the name Marilyn Manson. In an interview at the 2015 Cannes Lions Festival, he said: «I trademarked the name ‘Marilyn Manson’ the same way as Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. It’s not a stage name. It’s not my legal name. … Marilyn Manson is owned by Brian Warner, my real name.»[173] He also mentioned this in a 2013 interview with Larry King.[174] The records of the United States Patent and Trademark Office show that he registered four trademarks of the name between 1994 and 1999, protecting entertainment services, merchandising and branding.[175][176][177][178]

Manson says he used those trademark registrations to issue cease and desist orders to media outlets who wrongly blamed him for the Columbine High School massacre. One journalist had erroneously reported the shooters were «wearing Marilyn Manson makeup and t-shirts», although the reports were soon proved incorrect.[173] However, Manson said, «Once the wheels started spinning, Fox News started going.»[173] As a result of these accusations, Manson’s career was seriously harmed: He was shunned by many venue owners and received numerous death threats.[179]

Manson generally uses the name in lieu of his birth name. Though his mother referred to him by his birth name of Brian, his father opted to refer to his son as simply «Manson» since about 1993, saying, «It’s called respect of the artist.»[180]

Lawsuits

In September 1996, former bassist Gidget Gein negotiated a settlement with Manson where he would receive US$17,500 and 20 percent of any royalties paid for recordings and for any songs he had a hand in writing and his share of any other royalties or fees the group earned while he was a member and he could market himself as a former member of Marilyn Manson. This settlement was not honored, however.[181]

Former guitarist and founding member Scott Putesky (a.k.a. Daisy Berkowitz) filed a $15 million lawsuit in a Fort Lauderdale court against the singer, the band and the band’s attorney (David Codikow) in January 1998 after his departure from the group in the spring of 1996. Berkowitz claimed «thousands of dollars in royalties, publishing rights, and performance fees» and filed an attorney malpractice suit against Codikow, alleging that «Codikow represented Warner’s interests more than the band’s and … gave Warner disproportionate control..»[182][183] By October of that year, the suit had been settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.[184]

On November 30, 1998, a few days after the band accumulated «[a] total [of] more than $25,000» in backstage and hotel room damages during the Poughkeepsie, New York, stop of their Mechanical Animals Tour,[185] SPIN editor Craig Marks filed a $24-million lawsuit against Manson and his bodyguards. On February 19, 1999, Manson counter-sued Marks for libel, slander and defamation, seeking US$40 million in reparation.[186] Marks later dropped the lawsuit.[187] Manson apologized for the Poughkeepsie incident and offered to make financial restitution.[188][189]

In a civil battery suit, David Diaz, a security officer from a concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on October 27, 2000, sued for US$75,000 in a Minneapolis federal court.[190] The federal court jury found in Manson’s favor.[191] In a civil suit presented by Oakland County, Michigan, Manson was charged with sexual misconduct against another security officer, Joshua Keasler, during a concert in Clarkston, Michigan, on July 30, 2001. Oakland County originally filed assault and battery and criminal sexual misconduct charges,[192] but the judge reduced the latter charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.[193] Manson pleaded no contest to the reduced charges, paid a US$4,000 fine,[194] and later settled the lawsuit under undisclosed terms.[195]

On April 3, 2002, Maria St. John filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Manson of providing her adult daughter, Jennifer Syme, with cocaine and instructing her to drive while under the influence.[196] After attending a party at Manson’s house, Syme was given a lift home;[197] Manson claims she was taken home by a designated driver.[196] After she got home, she got behind the wheel of her own vehicle and was killed when she crashed it into three parked cars. Manson is reported to have said there were no alcohol or other drugs at the party; St. John’s lawyer disputed this claim.[196]

On August 2, 2007, former band member Stephen Bier filed a lawsuit against Manson for unpaid «partnership proceeds», seeking $20 million in back pay. Several details from the lawsuit leaked to the press.[198][199] In December 2007, Manson countersued, claiming that Bier failed to fulfill his duties as a band member to play for recordings and to promote the band.[200] On December 28, 2009, the suit was settled with an agreement which saw Bier’s attorneys being paid a total of $380,000.[201]

Philanthropy

Manson has supported various charitable causes throughout his career. In 2002, he worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to collaborate with a fan who had been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. 16-year-old Andrew Baines from Tennessee was invited into the band’s recording studio to record backing vocals for their then-upcoming album, The Golden Age of Grotesque. Manson said on his website, «Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with Andrew, who reminded me the things I create are only made complete by those who enjoy them. I just want to simply say, thank you to Andrew for sharing such an important wish with me.»[202][203] He contributed to Oxfam’s 2013 «Rumble in the Jumble» event, which raised money to aid victims of domestic and sexual abuse in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[204] He has supported various organizations – such as Music for Life and Little Kids Rock — which enable access to musical instruments and education to children of low-income families. He has also worked with Project Nightlight, a group that encourages children and teenagers to speak out against physical and sexual abuse.[205] In 2019, he performed alongside Cyndi Lauper at her annual ‘Home for the Holidays’ benefit concert, with all proceeds donated to Lauper’s True Colors United, which «works to develop solutions to youth homelessness that focus on the unique experiences of LGBTQ young people».[206][207]

Personal life

Relationships

Manson is heterosexual.[208] He was engaged to actress Rose McGowan from February 1999 to January 2001. McGowan later ended their engagement, citing «lifestyle differences.»[209]

Manson and burlesque dancer, model, and costume designer Dita Von Teese became a couple in 2001. He proposed on March 22, 2004, and they were married in a private, non-denominational ceremony officiated by Chilean film director Alejandro Jodorowsky.[210] On December 30, 2006, Von Teese filed for divorce due to «irreconcilable differences».[211] Von Teese also eventually stated she did not agree with Manson’s «partying or his relationship with another girl».[212] Manson’s «heavy boozing» and distant behavior were also cited as cause for the split.[213] A judgment of divorce was entered in Los Angeles Superior Court on December 27, 2007.[214]

Manson’s relationship with actress, model, and musician Evan Rachel Wood was made public in 2007.[215] They reportedly maintained an on-again, off-again relationship for several years. He proposed to Wood during a Paris stage performance in January 2010, but the couple broke off the engagement later that year.[216]

In the March 2012 issue of Revolver magazine, American photographer Lindsay Usich was referred to as Manson’s girlfriend. The article referenced a new painting by him featuring her. Usich is credited as the photo source for the cover art of Manson’s 2012 album, Born Villain. It was later confirmed that the two were romantically involved.[217] In February 2015, Manson told Beat magazine that he is «newly single».[218]

In October 2020, Manson revealed in an interview with Nicolas Cage on ABC News Radio that he was married in a private ceremony during the COVID-19 pandemic.[219] The person he married was revealed to be Usich after she changed her social media name to «Lindsay Elizabeth Warner».[220]

Manson is the godfather of Lily-Rose Depp.[221]

Beliefs

Manson claims he was a friend of Anton LaVey,[222] and early on had also claimed LaVey inducted him as a minister in the Church of Satan. Later in his career, Manson downplayed this, saying he was «not necessarily» a minister: «that was something earlier… it was a friend of mine who’s now dead, who was a philosopher that I thought I learned a lot from. And that was a title I was given, so a lot of people made a lot out of it. But it’s not a real job, I didn’t get paid for it.»[223] The Church of Satan itself later confirmed Manson was never ordained as a minister in their church.[224]

Despite that, Manson has been described as «the highest profile Satanist ever» with strong anti-Christian views and social Darwinist leanings.[225] However, Manson denies this, and stated the following:

«I’m not a misanthrope. I’m not a nihilist. I’m not an atheist. I believe in spirituality, but it really has to come from somewhere else. I learned a long time ago, you can’t try to change the world, you can just try to make something in it. I think that’s my spirituality, it’s putting something into the world. If you take all the basic principles of any religion, it’s usually about creation. There’s also destruction, but creation essentially. I was raised Christian. I went to a Christian school, because my parents wanted me to get a better education. But when I got kicked out I was sent to public school, and got beat up more by the public school kids. But then I’d go to my friend’s Passover and have fun.»

— Marilyn Manson[226]

Manson is also familiar with the writings of Aleister Crowley and Friedrich Nietzsche. He quotes Crowley throughout his autobiography, including Thelema’s principal dictum, «Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.»[227] Crowley’s esoteric subject matter forms an important theme in much of Manson’s early work.[228]

Controversies

Marilyn Manson has been referred to as one of the most iconic and controversial figures in heavy metal music,[229][230][231][232][233] with some referring to him as a «pop culture icon».[234][235][236][237] Paste magazine said there were «few artists in the 90s as shocking as Marilyn Manson, the most famous of the shock-rockers».[238] In her book Music in American Life: An Encyclopedia of the Songs, Styles, Stars, and Stories That Shaped Our Culture, author Jacqueline Edmondson writes that Manson creates music that «challenges people’s worldviews and provokes questions and further thinking».[239] Manson, his work, and the work of his eponymous band, have been involved in numerous controversies throughout their career.[240][241]

On May 30, 1996, the co-directors of political advocacy group Empower America organized a bipartisan press conference with Republican William Bennett and Democrats Joseph Lieberman and C. Delores Tucker, in which the record industry was admonished for selling «prepackaged, shrink-wrapped nihilism.» The three largely targeted rap music, but also referenced Manson; Tucker called Smells Like Children the «dirtiest, nastiest porno record directed at children that has ever hit the market» and said distributing record labels had «the blood of children on their hands», while Lieberman said the music «celebrates some of the most antisocial and immoral behaviors imaginable.» They also announced that Empower America would be launching a $25,000 radio advertising campaign to collect petitions from listeners who wanted record companies to «stop spreading this vicious, vulgar music.»[242]

The release of Antichrist Superstar in 1996 coincided with the band’s commercial breakthrough,[243] and much of the attention received by Manson from mainstream media was not positive.[244] Empower America organized another press conference in December 1996, where they criticized MCA—the owner of Interscope—president Edgar Bronfman Jr. for profiting from «profanity-laced» albums by Manson, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Doggy Dogg.[245][246] The band’s live performances also came under fire during this period; the «Dead to the World Tour» was followed by protesters at nearly every North American venue it visited.[247] Opponents of the band claimed the shows featured elements of Satanism, including a satanic altar, bestiality, rape, the distribution of free drugs,[243] homosexual acts, as well as animal and even human sacrifices.[248] Anonymous affidavits compiled by the Gulf Coast division of the American Family Association made various other claims about the live shows.[247] Students in Florida were threatened with expulsion for attending the band’s concerts.[243]

Several state legislatures, including the Utah State Legislature, South Carolina Legislature and the Virginia General Assembly, enacted legislation specifically targeting the group, banning them from performing at state-operated venues.[249][250][251] These laws would later be repealed, following separate lawsuits from fans and the American Civil Liberties Union.[249][251] Ozzy Osbourne sued the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority after they forced the cancelation of the New Jersey date of the 1997 Ozzfest at Giants Stadium; Manson’s appearance had been cited as the reason for the cancelation.[251][252] In November 1997, Manson’s lyrical content was examined during congressional hearings led by Lieberman and Sam Brownback, in an attempt to determine the effects—if any—of violent lyrics on young listeners.[253] The subcommittee heard testimony from Raymond Kuntz, who blamed his son’s suicide on Antichrist Superstar—specifically the song «The Reflecting God».[254] Lieberman went on to claim that the band’s music was driving young listeners to commit suicide,[255] and called the band the «sickest group ever promoted by a mainstream record company.»[256]

Columbine High School massacre

On April 20, 1999, Columbine High School students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed thirteen people and wounded twenty-one others before committing suicide.[257] At the time, it was the deadliest school shooting in US history.[258] In the immediate aftermath of the massacre, media reports surfaced that were heavily critical of Goth subculture,[259][260] alleging the perpetrators were wearing Marilyn Manson T-shirts during the massacre,[261] and that they were influenced by violence in entertainment, specifically movies, video games and music.[262] Five days after the incident, William Bennet and Joseph Lieberman – longtime critics of the vocalist – appeared on Meet the Press, where they cited his music as a contributing factor to the shooting.[263] Soon after, sensationalist headlines such as «Killers Worshipped Rock Freak Manson» and «Devil-Worshipping Maniac Told Kids To Kill» began appearing in media coverage of the tragedy.[264][265] Despite confirmation that the pair were fans of German industrial bands such as KMFDM and Rammstein,[266][267] and had «nothing but contempt» for Manson’s music,[268] mainstream media continued to direct the majority of blame for the shooting at Manson.[269][270]

The Mayor of Denver, Wellington Webb, successfully petitioned for the cancelation of KBPI-FM’s annual «Birthday Bash», at which Manson was scheduled to appear on April 30. Webb said the concert would be «inappropriate» because the two gunmen were thought to be fans of Manson.[271] Coloradoan politicians Bill Owens and Tom Tancredo accused Manson of promoting «hate, violence, death, suicide, drug use and the attitudes and actions of the Columbine High School killers.»[272] On April 29, ten US senators led by Brownback sent a letter to the head of Seagram, the conglomerate which owned Manson’s record label, requesting they stop distributing music to children that «glorifies violence». The letter named Manson, accusing him of producing songs that «eerily reflect» the actions of Harris and Klebold.[273]

Manson canceled the final four dates of the Rock Is Dead Tour out of respect for the victims while criticizing the media for their irresponsible coverage of the tragedy.[274][275] He elaborated on this point in an op-ed written for Rolling Stone titled «Columbine: Whose Fault Is It?». In the article, Manson castigated America’s gun culture and the political influence of the National Rifle Association, but was heavily critical of news media. He argued the media should be blamed for the next school shooting, as it was them who propagated the ensuing hysteria and «witch hunt», and said that instead of debating more relevant societal issues, the media instead facilitated the placing of blame on a scapegoat.[276][277]

On May 4, Brownback chaired a congressional hearing of the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation on the distribution and marketing of supposedly violent content to children by the film, music, television and video-game industries. The committee heard testimony from Bennett, the Archbishop of Denver Charles J. Chaput, as well as professors and mental health professionals; they criticized Manson, his label mates Nine Inch Nails, and the 1999 film The Matrix for their alleged contribution to a cultural environment enabling violence such as the Columbine shootings. Recording Industry Association of America executive Hilary Rosen said she refused to participate in the hearing as it was «staged as political theater. They just wanted to find a way to shame the industry, and I’m not ashamed.»[278] The committee eventually requested the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice investigate the entertainment industry’s marketing practices to minors.[279] The lyrical content of the band’s 2000 album Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was largely inspired by the massacre, with Manson saying it was a rebuttal to the accusations leveled against him by mainstream media.[280] He also discussed the massacre and its aftermath in Michael Moore’s 2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine.[281]

Other alleged incidents

In 2000, an elderly nun was murdered by three schoolgirls in Italy, with their diaries reportedly containing numerous references to and pictures of Manson.[282] Soon after, he was arrested following a concert in Rome for allegedly «tearing off his genitals».[282] Manson said the arrest was politically motivated following his implication in the murder by Italian tabloids.[283] In 2003, French media[which?] blamed Manson when several teenagers vandalized the graves of British war heroes in Arras, France.[282]

On June 30, 2003, 14-year old schoolgirl Jodi Jones was brutally murdered in Scotland.[284] Her mutilated body was discovered in woodland near her home, with her injuries said to closely resemble those of Elizabeth Short, commonly referred to by media as the Black Dahlia.[285][286] Ten months later, Jones’s boyfriend Luke Mitchell, then-fifteen years old, was arrested on suspicion of her murder.[287] Police confiscated a copy of The Golden Age of Grotesque containing the short film Doppelherz during a search of Mitchell’s family home,[288] which had been purchased by Mitchell two days after Jones’s death.[289] A ten-minute excerpt from the film, as well as several paintings created by Manson depicting the Black Dahlia’s mutilated body, were presented as evidence during the trial.[288][290][291] Mitchell was found guilty of her murder and was sentenced to a minimum of twenty years in prison.[292] In his closing summation, Lord Nimmo Smith said he believed Mitchell «carried an image of [Manson’s] paintings in your memory when you killed Jodi.»[293] Mitchell continues to profess his innocence.[294]

The controversy connecting Manson to school shootings continued on October 10, 2007, when fourteen-year old Asa Coon shot four people at SuccessTech Academy in Cleveland, Ohio, before committing suicide.[295] While exiting a bathroom, Coon was punched in the face by another student, and responded by shooting his attacker in the abdomen.[296] Coon then walked down the hallway and shot in to two occupied classrooms – wounding two teachers and a student – before entering a bathroom and committing suicide.[297] Coon was wearing a Marilyn Manson T-shirt during the shooting.[298][299] A photograph of Coon’s dead body was circulated online by Cleveland police officer Walter Emerick.[300] On May 18, 2009, Justin Doucet, a fifteen-year-old student at Larose-Cut Off Middle School in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, entered the school with a semi-automatic pistol.[301] After a teacher refused to comply with Doucet’s demand to say «Hail Marilyn Manson», he fired two shots that narrowly missed the teacher’s head, before shooting himself.[302][303] Doucet died from his injuries a week later.[304]

Abuse allegations

Several of Manson’s former acquaintances began communicating with one another in September 2020.[305][306] In a letter dated January 21, 2021, California State Senator Susan Rubio wrote to the director of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney General, asking them to investigate allegations several women had made against Manson.[307] On February 1, former fiancée Evan Rachel Wood wrote on Instagram and in a statement to Vanity Fair, accusing Manson of being abusive during their relationship a decade earlier.[308] Four other women simultaneously issued statements also accusing Manson of abuse.[309] Wood continued to make allegations against Manson and his wife Lindsay Usich on Instagram, claiming that his alleged abuse included antisemitism,[310] and said she filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department against Usich for threatening to leak photographs of Wood dressed in a Nazi uniform while wearing an Adolf Hitler-style toothbrush moustache.[311] A total of sixteen people have made various allegations against Manson,[3][312] including five accusations of sexual assault.[313]

Manson was immediately dropped by distributing record label Loma Vista Recordings,[314] his talent agency Creative Artists,[315] and his long-time manager Tony Ciulla.[316] He was also removed from future episodes of TV series American Gods and Creepshow, in which he was scheduled to appear.[3][317] On February 2, Manson issued a statement via Instagram, saying, «Obviously, my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners», and claimed the accusers were «misrepresenting the past».[318] His former wife Dita Von Teese stated that «the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple.»[319] Former girlfriend Rose McGowan said that Manson was not abusive during their relationship but that her experience had «no bearing on whether he was like that with others before or after».[320] On February 3, the LAPD performed a «welfare check» at Manson’s home after receiving a call from a purported friend who was concerned for his wellbeing.[321][322] The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed on February 19 that they were investigating Manson due to allegations of domestic violence.[323]

Four women filed civil lawsuits against Manson in the months that followed Wood’s allegations:[324] Esmé Bianco,[325] Ashley Morgan Smithline,[326] Ashley Walters,[327] and an anonymous woman.[328] Manson’s legal team issued statements denying the allegations.[329][330] They filed a motion to dismiss these lawsuits, calling the claims «untrue, meritless» and alleging that several of the accusers «spent months plotting, workshopping, and fine-tuning their stories to turn what were consensual friendships and relationships with Warner from more than a decade ago, into twisted tales that bear no resemblance to reality».[331] The lawsuit filed by the anonymous woman was initially dismissed because it exceeded the statute of limitations,[332][333] although an amended complaint was refiled soon after.[334][335] Manson’s legal team also sought to have Bianco’s lawsuit dismissed because it exceeded the statute of limitations, although a federal judge denied that motion.[336][337] Walters’s lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in May.[338][339] Morgan Smithline’s lawsuit was also dismissed by a federal judge, after her lawyer withdrew from her case and she did not meet a court-ordered deadline regarding her representation in the case.[340] Bianco and Manson reached an out-of-court settlement in January 2023 with undisclosed terms of agreement.[341]

Manson filed a lawsuit against Wood and Ashley «Illma» Gore for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, as well as the impersonation of an FBI agent and falsifying federal documents.[342] In the suit, it is alleged that Wood and Gore spent three years contacting his former girlfriends and provided «checklists and scripts» to prospective accusers in order to corroborate Wood’s claims,[343][344] and that the pair impersonated and falsified documents from an FBI agent.[345] The suit additionally claims Gore hacked into Manson’s computers and social media, and created fake email accounts to manufacture evidence he had been distributing «illicit pornography».[346] It is also alleged that Gore swatted Manson by calling the FBI claiming to be a friend concerned about an «emergency» at his home. As a result of the call, several police officers were dispatched to his property, where «there was no emergency».[347] He is seeking a jury trial.[348][349]

The LACSD presented the findings of their 19-month investigation of the sexual assault allegations made against Manson to California district attorney George Gascón in September 2022.[350] Gascón called the file «partial» and said more evidence was needed in order to file charges.[351][352] Smithline, who previously attempted to sue Manson, recanted her allegations in legal documents in February 2023, claiming she was «manipulated» and «pressured» by Wood and her associates to make allegations against Manson that were «not true».[313][353][354]

Notes

  1. ^ «In an attempt to reiterate the lesson of Willy Wonka in my own style during shows, I hung a donkey piñata over the crowd and put a stick on the edge of the stage. Then I would warn, ‘Please, don’t break that open. I beg you not to.’ Human psychology being what it is, kids in the crowd would invariably grab the stick and smash the piñata apart, forcing everyone to suffer the consequence, which would be a shower of cow brains, chicken livers and pig intestines from [the] disemboweled donkey.»[23]
  2. ^ «Well, there was always a real chip on our shoulder that [Portrait of an American Family] never really got the push from the record label that we thought it deserved. It was all about us touring our fucking asses off. We toured for two years solid, opening up for Nine Inch Nails for a year and then doing our own club tours. It was all just about perseverance.»[28]
  3. ^ Michael Beinhorn, the co-producer of Mechanical Animals, said: «When Mechanical Animals came out, the projected sales figure for the first week was 300,000 copies. [The label was] excited, saying, ‘We’re going to hit No.1 and sell 300k!’. It sold 230,000 and got to No.1, but it wasn’t enough. The label lost interest, they took down the huge billboard they had in Times Square for the album, the president of the label called Manson up, screaming at him for having tits on the cover. I think that, and what happened at Columbine, which really affected him emotionally, meant that he never made an album up to the standard of Mechanical Animals or Antichrist Superstar again. He just didn’t get the support.»[47]

Детство

Брайан Хью Уорнер родился в Кантоне, штат Огайо. Он был единственным ребёнком в семье торговца мебелью немецкого происхождения Хью Уорнера и медсестры Барбары Уорнер. В автобиографии The Long Hard Road out of Hell Мэнсон подробно описал сексуальные фетиши деда, которые сильно повлияли на его мировоззрение. В детстве он посещал со своей матерью Епископальную церковь, хотя его отец был католиком. Брайан ходил в среднюю школу «Наследие христианской школы» с первого по десятый класс. Позднее он переведен в обычную среднюю школу имени кардинала Гиббонса в Форт-Лодердейл, штат Флорида, которую окончил в 1987 году.

Карьера

Музыка

См. основную статью: Marilyn Manson

После того, как Брайан окончил школу во Флориде, он нашёл себе работу в местном музыкальном журнале. Там он исполнял функции репортера и музыкального критика, в свободное время сочиняя стихи. В 1989 году Брайан вместе с гитаристом Скотом Путески создал свою рок-группу. Он решил взять себе новое имя: Мэрилин Мэнсон (Marilyn Manson), состоящее из фрагментов имён двух совершенно разных людей: кинозвезды Мэрилин Монро и маньяка-убийцы Чарльза Мэнсона. В дальнейшем другие участники группы следовали примеру лидера, выбирая себе псевдонимы по сходному шаблону (Скот Путески превратился в Дэйзи Берковица, Брайан Тютюнник — в Оливию Ньютон-Банди, Пери Пандреа — в За За Спека, и т. д.)

Первоначальное название группы — «Marilyn Manson and The Spooky Kids»: Мэнсон пел, а Берковиц выступал в качестве основного гитариста и программиста драм-машины. Самый ранний известный состав группы включал в себя: Мэрилина Мэнсона (вокал), Дэйзи Берковица (гитарист и оператор драм-машины), Оливию Ньютон-Банди (англ. Olivia Newton-Bundy) (бас), За За Спека (англ. Zsa Zsa Speck) (клавишные). Ньютон-Банди и Спек вскоре ушли, а вместо них в строй встали басист Гиджет Гейн (англ. Gidget Gein, умер 9 октября 2008 года на 39-м году жизни от передозировки героином) и клавишник Мадонна Уэйн Гэси (англ. Madonna Wayne Gacy).

Сначала группа выступала на разогреве у «Nine Inch Nails». Тренту Резнору (Trent Reznor) понравился молодой коллектив, и он стал другом и неформальным наставником его участников. Тонко продуманная рекламная кампания сразу выдвинула на передний план лидера и вокалиста группы, оставляя в тени всех остальных. Созданный им логотип группы состоял из надписи «MARILYN MANSON», выполненной в стиле фильмов ужасов («капающим» шрифтом), выше надписи располагался нежный взгляд Мэрилин Монро, а ниже — безумный взгляд Чарлза Мэнсона. Практически сразу была выпущена серия сувениров с этим изображением; кроме того разрекламировать группу помогли обширные связи Мэнсона в журналистских кругах.

Концертные выступления группы характеризировались широким применением различных аттракционов; использовалось все, что могло усилить впечатление: бутерброды с ореховым маслом, которые разбрасывались со сцены, распятые или заключенные в клетки девушки, лысые козлиные головы, обнаженка и применение открытого пламени. У Гэси (клавишные) была маленькая кабинка, подписанная «Pogo’s Playhouse», в которой находились его синтезаторы. Берковиц мог играть в юбке, лифчике и длинном парике из светлых волос, его гитара висела очень низко и изо рта торчала сигарета, дополняя образ «плохого парня». Все это использовалось для получения максимального эффекта.

Кино и телевидение

Портрет Мэнсона и его кошки

Мэнсон дебютировал в качестве актера в фильме Дэвида Линча «Шоссе в никуда», который вышел в прокат в 1997 году. В 1998 году Мэнсон снялся в фильме «Королевы убийства», в котором также снялась его подруга Роуз МакГоуэн. В 2003 году он снялся в роли Кристины в фильме «Клубная мания». В 2004 году Мэнсон появляется в фильме Азии Ардженто «Цыпочки». В 2007 году Мэнсон сыграл роль бармена в фильме «Вампирша». Также Мэнсон появлялся в документальном фильме Майкла Мура «Боулинг для Колумбины», где дал интервью.

Мэнсон работал над собственным проектом в большом кино. Он снимал фильм «Фантасмагория: Видения Льюиса Кэрролла», в котором должен был сыграть роль Льюиса Кэрролла, автора книги Алиса в Стране Чудес. Бюджет фильма составлял $4.2 миллиона. В 2007 году проект был остановлен на неопределенный срок. В 2011 году ожидается премьера фильма «Splatter Sisters», в котором Мэнсон снимется со своей бывшей подругой Эван Рэйчел Вуд.[1]

6 октября 2010 года на американском канале The Biography Channel состоялась премьера биографического фильма о Мэнсоне и его группе, в котором приняли участие его близкие и друзья. В фильме приняли участие: Оззи Осборн, Шэрон Осборн, Элис Купер, Джонатан Дэвис, Джои Джордисон, Твигги Рамирез, Эван Рэйчел Вуд, Кит Флинт и другие.

Искусство

Брайан также известен в качестве художника. Он рисует акварелью с 1999 года по сей день. На данный момент нарисовано более 150-ти картин. Картины Мэнсона выставлялись на выставках в Москве, Лос-Анджелесе, Майами, Афинах, Париже, Берлине, Вене и так далее.

В январе 2011 года Мэнсон совместно с известным режиссёром-сюрреалистом Дэвидом Линчем выпустили совместную книгу-каталог собственных работ, которые были показаны на выставке картин Мэнсона «Genealogies of Pain», проходившей в июне-июле 2010 года в Вене, Австрия.[2]

Личная жизнь

В 1998 году Мэнсон встретил Роуз МакГоуэн, с которой впоследствии был помолвлен, однако, в 2000 году помолвка была расторгнута. 28 ноября 2005 года певец женится на Дите фон Тиз, но 29 декабря 2006 года Дита подала на развод со ссылкой на «непримиримые разногласия».

С декабря 2006 года по октябрь 2008 года встречался с молодой актрисой Эван Рэйчел Вуд.[3] Встречался с американской порноактрисой и моделью Стойей с марта по декабрь 2009 года. В декабре 2009 года Мэрилин Мэнсон возобновил отношения с Эван Рэйчел Вуд[4], а в январе 2010 сделал ей предложение, на которое она ответила согласием.[5][6] В августе 2010 года помолвка была расторгнута.[7]

В конце октября 2010 года в интернете появился слух, что Мэрилин Мэнсон встречается с победительницей 7 сезона шоу «Топ-модель по-американски» — КэриДи Инглиш (англ.)русск.. Слух был опровергнут самой КэриДи через её микроблог на сайте Twitter, где она заявила, что они просто друзья. В настоящее время встречается с фотографом Линдси Юсич, с которой впервые был замечен 14 августа 2010 года.[8]

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson, is an American musician, artist and former music journalist known for his controversial stage persona and image as the lead singer of the eponymous band, Marilyn Manson. His stage name was formed from juxtaposing the names of two 1960s American cultural icons, namely, actress Marilyn Monroe and convicted multiple murder mastermind[1] Charles Manson as a critical and, simultaneously, laudatory appraisal of America and its culture.[2][3] He has a long legacy of being depicted in the media as a detrimental influence on young people. The seemingly outrageous styles for which he models and the controversy surrounding his lyrics have led to his very pronounced public appeal.[4]

Biography[edit]

Brian Hugh Warner was born on January 5, 1969 in Canton, Ohio, the only child of Barb (née Wyer) and Hugh Warner. He is of German descent on his father’s side, and is a 4th cousin twice removed of Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan.[5][6] As a child, he attended his mother’s Episcopalian church, though his father was Catholic.[7][8] Manson attended Heritage Christian School from first grade to tenth grade where he experienced traumatic brainwashing at the hands of his Christian pedagogues by way of their apocalyptic biblical narratives. Ultimately, out of fear, this led to his own personal rebellion against Christianity, and religious conformity in general. In a quote from Manson’s autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, he states: «I was thoroughly terrified by the idea of the end of the world and the Antichrist. So I became obsessed with it, watching movies like The Exorcist and the Omen and reading prophetic books like Centuries by Nostradamus, 1984 by George Orwell, and the novelized version of the film a Thief in the Night.»

Manson’s interest in rock ‘n roll music stemmed from a childhood friend who introduced him to bands such as Kiss, Dio, Black Sabbath, and Rainbow and other bands of that genre. Out of these bands, KISS stood out amongst the crowd, Manson was a card-carrying member of the KISS ARMY and attended his first concert with his father in 1979. At the age of ten, a young Brian Warner was photographed in the make-up of KISS drummer, Peter Criss. It has been thought, though never confirmed or denied by Manson that his stage theatrics and make-up partially stem from his influence by KISS as a child.

According to his autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, Warner is of German and Polish ancestry on his father’s side. Raised in his mother’s religion, and attending Heritage Christian School, he later transferred to and graduated from Glen Oak High School in 1987. In 1990, as a college student, Warner attended Broward Community College. As the assistant entertainment editor of BCC’s student newspaper, the Observer, his first published article was a review titled «Jane’s Addiction returns to shock crowd at Woody’s.» Warner was working toward a degree in journalism and theater, though never came into fruition. Manson later lied to a local magazine to gain employment and experience in the field by writing music articles for the South Florida lifestyle magazine, 25th Parallel. There, he met several of the musicians to whom his own band would later be compared, including My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult[9] and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Manson mentions briefly in his autobiography that he became a musician partly because he wanted writers to gain the same amount of fame and respect as musicians.

Relationships[edit]

Warner’s first serious relationship was with Michele Greenberg aka Rachelle, According to Manson’s book «The Long Hard Road Out of Hell», the demise of the relationship with Michele Greenberg and his vow to become famous, and the desire to make Michele regret ending the relationship, The Spooky Kids were born. Manson then began dating Melissa Romero as explained in his autobiography, during the production of «Antichrist Superstar,» Missi became pregnant with Warner’s child, but had an abortion during her second trimester. He has also been linked to Traci Lords and Jenna Jameson. Jameson wrote about her sexual encounter with Manson in her autobiography, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale in which she noted him as being «massively endowed».

Manson was engaged to actress Rose McGowan, but their relationship ended in December 2000, when she broke up with him, claiming the reason of the breakup was «Manson’s lifestyle».

Manson had been a long time fan of Dita Von Teese, and was a member of her website. They first met when he asked her to dance in one of his music videos. Though she was unable to, the two kept in contact. On his thirty-second birthday, she arrived with a bottle of absinthe, and they became a couple. Manson photographed Von Teese for the December 2002 issue of Playboy. He proposed on March 22, 2004 and gave her a 1930s-era, 7-carat, European round-cut diamond engagement ring.

On November 28, 2005, Manson and Von Teese were married in a private, non-denominational ceremony in their home. A larger ceremony was held on December 3 at Gurteen Castle in Kilsheelan, County Tipperary, Ireland, the home of their friend, Gottfried Helnwein. The wedding was officiated by surrealist film director and comic book writer Alejandro Jodorowsky. They reportedly exchanged vows in front of approximately 60 guests, including burlesque performer Catherine D’lish, Lisa Marie Presley, Eric Szmanda, Jessicka and Christian Hejnal. The bride wore a royal purple silk taffeta gown, made by Vivienne Westwood, a tri-corned hat designed by Stephen Jones and a matching Mr. Pearl corset. Moschino designed an additional wardrobe for the rest of the weekend, exclusively for Von Teese. The reception music was provided by the retro German band Palast Orchester mit Max Raabe. Guests were invited to participate in skeet shooting, archery and falconry in the days following the wedding. The wedding pictures appeared in the March 2006 edition of Vogue under the heading «The Bride Wore Purple». Just before his own wedding, Manson criticized Britney Spears’ wedding to Kevin Federline, in which they celebrated by wearing personalized tracksuits: «If you’re going to do something like getting married, it should have a sense of celebration to it. It should be grand and not in tracksuits!» Vogue magazine featured the wedding in their March 2006 edition[10].

On December 30, 2006, Von Teese filed for divorce due to «irreconcilable differences». ET.com and People claimed that Manson was having an extramarital affair with then 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood, who is to co-star in his upcoming horror film Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, and features in the video for his 2007 single, «Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)». The relationship was confirmed by Von Teese in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, «I get the impression he thinks I was unsupportive, but the truth is I wasn’t supportive of his lifestyle, and someone else came along who was.» Manson’s alcohol abuse and distant behavior were also cited as cause for the split. It has also been claimed that Manson was not aware of Von Teese’s filing for divorce and moving out of their home at the time that the story was published, conceivably due to his reported stay in Paris, France. Von Teese took their two cats and two dachshunds, Greta and Eva, with her when she left; Manson reportedly fought for custody of the couple’s cats, but only received one of them.

In April of 2007, Marilyn Manson’s girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood, admitted that they were actually a couple. By the end of the year, on December 27, 2007 a judgment of divorce between Manson and Von Teese was entered into Los Angeles Superior Court. On November 5, 2008, it was reported that Manson and Wood have since ended their nearly two-year relationship as of October 23. On November 7, it was announced that Evan and Manson did not end their relationship and that they took time off to concentrate on their work. On December 4, 2008, Manson had been seen with a new girlfriend, the fashion model Isani Griffith during the Art Basel art exhibition in Miami Beach, Florida. It was announced that they have been dating since Manson’s breakup with Wood. As stated by Marilyn Manson on December 24th 2008,

“ Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to make an announcement. The rumors that I found a ‘replacement’ for Evan, or that I have a new girlfriend are absolutely not true. I am finishing up my album, and I also have never even met Ne-Yo. I can assure him that he would not want to be associated with something this godless. Get over the holiday so I can happily ruin the new year for anyone that assumed music was going to stay boring and sweet. [11] ”
Myspace Bulletin 24th December, 2008.

The relationship with Wood ended and Manson then confirmed that he was dating pornographic actress and model Stoya. Following the release of his controversial music video Running to the Edge of the World, Manson reportedly proposed to Evan on stage December 21, 2009, in Paris during his last performance of The High End of Low Tour.[12] However, Manson and Evan Rachel Wood separated again in August, 2010.

After separating from Evan, Manson has been linked to several women, more recently, photographer Lindsay Usich. Manson and Usich were married on May 15, 2020, in a small private ceremony. It took place during the official quarantine period (caused by the spread of the Covid pandemic, and guests included friend and actor, Nicolas Cage, by means of FaceTime. Manson serenaded his bride with a version of Elvis Presley’s “Love Me Tender.” The news broke via the couple’s Instagram posts and a story in Interview magazine, five months after the wedding took place. 

Music Career[edit]

After meeting Stephen Gregory Bier, Jr. (also known as Madonna Wayne Gacy) at the Kitchen Club in South Beach, Miami the two became close friends, going to concerts and poetry readings. After a short period of time the two began compiling poetry that Manson had written and hoped to turn into songs, it was at this time that Manson instructed Pogo to buy a keyboard and they would start a band. Unfortunately, Stephen was not a part of the first incarnation of what would later become known as Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids. It was not until Manson met Jeordie White (also known as Twiggy Ramirez), who was working at a local record shop at the time. The two created Satan on Fire, a faux-Christian death metal ensemble that was more of a joke than an actual band. At that time, Twiggy was a member of the band Amboog-a-lard and thus Manson recruited college friend Brian Tutunick (also known as Olivia-Newton Bundy) as a bass player, though Tutunick would only last two nights and was later replaced by Bradley Stewart (also known as Gidget Gein). Scott Putesky (also known as Daisy Berkowitz) would complete the Spooky Kids line up. With Bier, still not with an instrument, appearing as part of the stage show by playing with toy soldiers.

After developing a cult following on Florida’s underground music scene, the band drew the attention of Trent Reznor in the summer of 1993. Reznor produced their 1994 debut album, Portrait of an American Family and released it on his Nothing Records label. The band then began to develop a cult following, which grew larger following the release of Smells Like Children in 1995. That EP yielded the band’s first big MTV hit «Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)», a cover of the 1983 Eurythmics song. Antichrist Superstar (co-produced by Trent Reznor) was to be an even greater success. In the United States alone, three of the band’s albums have been awarded platinum certification, and another three gold. the band has had six releases debut in the top ten, including two number-one albums.

Manson first worked as a producer with long time friend Jessicka and the band Jack Off Jill. He helped name the band and produce most of the band’s early recordings. Manson also played guitar on the song «My Cat» and had the band open for most of his South Florida shows. Manson later wrote the liner notes to the band’s album Humid Teenage Mediocrity 1992-1995, a collection of early Jack Off Jill recordings.

Manson has appeared as a guest performer on DMX’s album of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood and on gODHEAD’s 2000 Years of Human Error album — the only album released on his vanity label Posthuman Records.

Manson has helped or provided full music scores for several major motion pictures, although several of his pieces have been cut, and his name dropped from the credits. Some of his more notable soundtrack score contributions include The Matrix, From Hell and Resident Evil.

After releasing what Manson asserted to be his «farewell album», Lest We Forget – The Best Of, Manson’s took up another musical project covering the Danny Elfman song, «This Is Halloween». This was included on The Nightmare Before Christmas: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack reissue’s bonus disc in October 2006. Shortly after this, he and Tim Skold embarked on recording the sixth Marilyn Manson album Eat Me, Drink Me. Manson has clearly refuted suggestions that the band will collapse, as evidenced by the revitalization of his friendship with Twiggy Ramirez and the recent recording of the album, The High End of Low.

Since late 2009, the band was dropped by Interscope Records after being on the label for close to 15 years. Subsequent recording on a new album, Born Villain had also begun.

Announced in November, 2010, Marilyn Manson signed with independent European label Cooking Vinyl in a joint venture with his own label Hell, etc. to produce his eighth studio album, with the option for another.

Work in film[edit]

Manson made his acting debut in 1997, appearing in David Lynch’s film Lost Highway as Pornstar #1. Since then he has appeared in a variety of minor roles and cameos, including Party Monster; then-girlfriend Rose McGowan’s 1998 film Jawbreaker; Asia Argento’s 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things; Rise: Bloodhunter; and The Hire: Beat the Devil, the sixth installment in the BMW Films series. He was interviewed in Michael Moore’s political documentary Bowling for Columbine discussing possible motivations for the Columbine massacre and allegations that his music was somehow a factor. He has appeared in animated form in Clone High and participated in several episodes of the MTV series Celebrity Deathmatch, becoming the show’s unofficial champion and mascot; he often performed the voice for his claymated puppet, and contributed the song «Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes» to the soundtrack album.

In July 2005, Manson told Rolling Stone that he was shifting his focus from music to film making — «I just don’t think the world is worth putting music into right now. I no longer want to make art that other people – particularly record companies – are turning into a product. I just want to make art.»

Manson has made several cameo appearances in music videos for the Murderdolls’ Dead in Hollywood, Nine Inch Nails’ Gave Up, Starfuckers Inc. and Eminem’s The Way I Am. He has also produced 23 music videos, most of which have gone beyond the scope of a normal performance video and been well received by critics for their imagery and direction. Three of Manson’s more recently released videos, «Personal Jesus», «(s)AINT» and «Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)», were voluntarily funded with his own money (to a sum of $1,500,000) and largely not that of the record label. Manson stated in June 2006 that he saw himself «as more a student of film than of music.»

Painting and art exhibitions[edit]

From the beginning Manson has been a recreational painter, the oldest of his surviving pieces dating back to 1995–1996, but it was after his 1998 Grey period that Manson began his career as a watercolor painter, claiming in a 2004 interview with i-D magazine to have begun his career as such when in 1999, he made five-minute concept pieces and sold them to drug dealers. Gradually Manson became more drawn to watercolors as an art form in itself, and instead of trading them, kept them and continued to paint at a proficient rate. On September 13-14, 2002, his first show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions Centre. Art in America’s Max Henry likened them to the works of a «psychiatric patient given materials to use as therapy» and said his work would never be taken seriously in a fine-art context, writing that the value was «in their celebrity, not the work». On September 14-15, 2004, Manson held a second exhibition on the first night in Paris and the second in Berlin. The show was named Trismegistus which was also the title of the center piece of the exhibit – a large, three-headed Christ painted onto an antique wood panel from a portable embalmer’s table.

Manson named his self-proclaimed art movement the Celebritarian Corporation. He has coined a slogan for the movement: «We will sell our shadow to those who stand within it.» In 2005 he said that the Celebritarian Corporation has been «incubating for seven years» which if correct would indicate that Celebritarian Corporation, in some form, started in 1998.

The Celebritarian Corporation is also the namesake of an art gallery owned by Manson, called The Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art in Los Angeles for which his third exhibition was the inaugural show. From April 2-17, 2007, his recent works were on show at the Space 39 Modern & Contemporary in Florida. 40 pieces from this show traveled to Germany’s Gallery Brigitte Schenk in Cologne to be publicly exhibited from June 28-July 28, 2007. Manson was refused admittance to Kölner Dom (Cologne Cathedral), when he was in the city to attend the opening night. This was, according to Manson, due to his makeup. Other sources gave different reasons, however.

The price of Manson’s works has been a somewhat controversial point for fans and critics alike, with most fans realistically unable to afford the paintings save for fine art editions and lithographs. However, some argue that Manson’s prices are realistic and reasonable considering the long-term value at a time when prices for contemporary art have never been higher.

In April,2010, Manson held an exhibition titled Hell, etc. in Athens,Greece hosted by Art Modern Gallery.

Entrepreneurship[edit]

Limited edition pre-release Mansinthe label

Manson is widely known for his love of absinthe, frequently mentioning this during interviews or seen glass in hand. After collaborating with Oliver Matter and Markus Lion, Manson launched his own brand of Swiss-made absinthe, Mansinthe, in 2007. Manson’s painting When I Get Old is used for the bottle label. Mansinthe is distilled in Switzerland from neutral grain alcohol and herbs and contains 10 milligrams of thujone. It is naturally green-colored and has 66.6% alcohol content.[13] Mansinthe was not well-received by its test panel, however. One Epicurious critic complained, «If a smell could speak, this absinthe is saying: ‘Do not touch,'» comparing the scent to «sewage water, swamp mud and rubbing alcohol.»[14] In spite of this, Mansinthe was awarded a gold medal at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.[13] At launch, a limited number of bottles signed by Manson were sold for an additional price.

Ventures that failed to materialize include a novel based on the concepts of Holy Wood, a coffee table art book published by Flaunt under the name The Death of Art or Quintif, a fragrance and cosmetics line[15] and a feature film entitled Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll. Manson has also made two attempts at starting a record label; Posthuman Records was shut down in 2002 after two years of general inactivity, while Hell, etc. is currently operating from within Cooking Vinyl.

Charitable causes[edit]

  • In 2002, Manson worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to make the wish of a boy with a life-threatening disease come true. 16-year-old Andrew Baines from Tennessee had a wish to sing back-up vocals for a «big» band; Manson jumped on the task and took Baines under his wing to make his dream come true. Manson invited Baines to the studio on August 27, 2002, where he let Baines perform backing vocals for the then-upcoming album, The Golden Age of Grotesque. «Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with Andrew, who reminded me the things I create are only made complete by those who enjoy them. I just want to simply say, ‘thank you’ to Andrew for sharing such an important wish with me,» Manson said, according MarilynManson.com.
  • In 2005, Manson donated a signed collector’s edition mask to Music for Relief to help victims of the 2004’s Boxing Day Tsunami; this auction raised $155.
  • In January 2006, Manson contributed a hand-painted guitar from the Six-String Masterpieces — The Dimebag Darrell Art Tribute to the Little Kids Rock auction. For every $100 raised by the product, Little Kids Rock would provide one low-income child with an instrument and lessons – Manson’s guitar raised $6,250.
  • In 2006, Manson became a benefactor of Project Nightlight, an LA area foundation that uses short films, music, and apparel to grab teenagers attention and inspire them to speak out against sexual and physical abuse. Manson afforded Project Nightlight a stand at the opening of his art gallery, and in April 2007 gave the charity a print of his painting The Eve of Destruction and a framed collector’s edition mask.
  • In 2007, December, Marilyn Manson played with a Gibson guitar on a Belgium concert at Forest National, signed the guitar and gave it to the charity «Music for Life», It’s been put on Ebay, and raised ca. €3000. for the Health care in Africa

Media battles and legal history[edit]

Arrests[edit]

Marilyn Manson was first arrested in Florida on December 27, 1994 after a concert at Jacksonville’s Club 5 for «violating the adult entertainment code.» Manson was detained for 16 hours before been released without charge. Bizarrely police believed Manson had performed oral sex on stage with a man when in fact it was Jack Off Jill vocalist Jessicka wearing a fake penis (Manson claims this may have inspired the ‘removed ribs’ rumor) and thrown either his or the man’s penis into the crowd. On February 5, 2001 in Marino, Italy, Manson suffered what is to date his only other post-concert arrest when he was accused of blasphemy having worn the outfit of a cardinal on stage during the song «Valentine’s Day». Soon after the detention it was ascertained that Manson had not committed a crime and it appeared the legal troubles were over until the next day when Manson was arrested in Rome on charges of public indecency relating to a 1999 show where it was alleged Manson had exposed his penis. The day after the people in Bologna (Casalecchio di Reno (BO), Emilia-Romagna region) allowed him (Brian Warner = Marilyn Manson, the singer) to play even if he was arrested (but he did not play Sweet Dreams,even if he played Godeatgod live). Manson was released and the charges dropped, notably the arrests came a week after two teenagers brutally murdered an Italian nun which some less reputable sections of the Italian press blamed on Manson’s music.

Condemnation by Trent Reznor[edit]

One of Manson’s high-profile relationships, the defunct friendship with Trent Reznor, has been marked with mutual bitterness and perhaps vendetta. This started in the mid-90s, when Manson was due to make a track that would appear on the soundtrack to David Lynch’s Lost Highway, but instead Reznor was the one who wrote a song, «The Perfect Drug», for the film. In 1999, it seemed the two artists had patched their differences, as Manson made an appearance in the video for the Nine Inch Nails song «Starfuckers, Inc.»

In 2004, Reznor was asked whether he had plans to do any covers; he sarcastically replied, «I was really hoping to do something unique and pertinent — like do an exact copy of «Personal Jesus» — but it was already taken.» The following year, in a 2005 interview Manson said Reznor’s Nothing Records had lost the master recordings of Manson’s first three albums. He implied it was Reznor’s intention, «Now that Nothing Records doesn’t exist, I think there’s only one of two people responsible for that. Out of those two people, there’s only one that really has an opinion of me that is voiced very often.»

Sexual misconduct[edit]

In a civil battery suit, David Diaz, a security officer from a concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 27, 2000, sued for $75,000 in a Minneapolis federal court. After two days deliberation the jury decided that Manson’s alleged molestation had been part of the show and that he had not overstepped his boundaries as an artist, ruling in favor of Manson and against Diaz.

Manson was charged with «sexual misconduct» on August 16, 2001 after Joshua Keasler filed a complaint that as he was providing security for a July 30 concert Manson had allegedly spat on his head, wrapped his legs around him and began to gyrate his penis along his neck. Oakland County prosecutor David Gorcyca said that «It was offensive, crude and rude. This was not something that was orchestrated or choreographed as part of the act. The security guard was an unknowing and unwilling participant and, ironically, while he was there for protection… was sexually assaulted.» The charge, punishable with up to two years imprisonment, was accompanied with a charge of disorderly conduct. The complaint came with an arrest warrant but Manson thwarted this by posting a $25,000 personal bond. In a one-day December 28, 2001 trial the presiding Judge dismissed the charge of «sexual misconduct» as Manson had in his view «gained no sexual gratification from the act.» Manson pleaded «no contest» to the outstanding lesser charge, which carried only up to three months imprisonment, and was ordered to pay $4,000 in fines. After the trial Keasler pursued a civil lawsuit against Manson that was dropped when the two settled out of court in February 2002.

Twiggy Ramirez’s departure[edit]

In May 2002 Twiggy Ramirez left the band, citing differences in perspective on the future of the band. He went on to play bass for A Perfect Circle and Nine Inch Nails. During this time, Manson claimed in interviews that he and Ramirez were still close friends, while Ramirez maintained that he rarely spoke to Manson. In an interview in February of 2006 Twiggy stated he was willing to record an album with Marilyn Manson if the right conditions were met. In Autumn 2006, Manson and Ramirez were photographed together at numerous parties in Los Angeles, in amicable poses.

In January 2008 it was announced that Ramirez had reunited with the band as live bassist for the last leg of the Rape of the World tour as well as co-writer of the band’s seventh studio album. In an interview with The Heirophant on January 12, 2008, Manson revealed that the reconciliation with Ramirez was not as abrupt as it initially seemed, and that the two had been occasionally communicating with each other since speaking at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, California prior to the Winter European leg of the Rape of the World tour.

Confrontation with John 5 and subsequent departure[edit]

John 5’s reasons for leaving Marilyn Manson were cited as being mutual, despite the mysterious nature of his sudden firing by Manson’s manager in 2004.

John was quoted at the time as saying about the incident, «I don’t know. . . I was nothing but nice to him,» he continued. «I never screwed up onstage — well not really badly — and I did everything I could to get along with him. Maybe, just maybe, it had something to do with the fact that I don’t drink or do drugs, and he’s not like that at all. Maybe he held that against me. I don’t know. He never said.» John 5 was notorious among fans as being drug and alcohol free.

Before the incident, Manson had assaulted John on stage, notably, Manson kicked John in the face during a televised performance, leading to a brief confrontation in front of a packed and roaring audience. This was during the intro to «The Beautiful People», when played at the Rock AM Ring 2003.

Also, during the tour John maintains that Manson spoke about matters other than business only once, «It was on my birthday, and he turned to me and said, «Happy birthday, faggot» — then walked away.»

Despite this, John maintains he respects Manson, citing his skilled production style and his love for the band’s music. John was already a fan of the band before joining in 1998. In response to a question regarding the reason for the split with Manson, John 5 was quoted by Vintage Guitar Magazine as saying, «(laughs) At the end of the last tour, I decided I really wanted to do this solo thing and that I had to devote all my time to it. The split with Manson was totally amicable. It wasn’t one of those big breakups. We’re friends. I wish there was some good dirt, but there’s not (laughs)!»

In an interview prior to the January 19, 2008 performance in Orlando, Florida, Marilyn Manson revealed that John 5 would make a guest appearance during the show, stating: «I’ll have [John] come on stage and play songs with us this first show. It would practically be the Holy Wood lineup.» This guest appearance ultimately did not take place, however.

Lawsuit from Stephen Bier[edit]

Before leaving the band nothing was heard of Madonna Wayne Gacy for over a year. In an exclusive conference conducted by Marilyn Manson in April 2007, he revealed the upcoming album Eat Me, Drink Me was recorded in collaboration between himself and Tim Skold. Essentially this meant Gacy did not partake in the album, but not ruling out the possibility of him performing as live keyboardist on the upcoming tour. Later, Manson revealed that Chris Vrenna (who previously drummed for the band during Ginger Fish’s hiatus in 2004) would be performing as live keyboardist on the tour, in Gacy’s place.

On August 2, 2007, Gacy filed a lawsuit against Marilyn Manson seeking a back pay of $20 million dollars. Gacy claimed Manson has been using the band’s money for personal interests, among which are a child’s skeleton, masks made of human skin, stuffed animals such as a grizzly bear and two baboons, a collection of Nazi memorabilia, his drug addictions, his wedding with Dita Von Teese and the production of Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.

On December 20, 2007, Manson counter sued Gacy. As a reaction to the lawsuit Gacy filed against Manson in August, Manson claimed, «keyboardist Stephen Bier did not carry out obligations to take part in master recordings [of The Golden Age Of Grotesque, Eat Me, Drink Me], concerts [of the Rape of the World tour] and the selling of band merchandise.» In September 2008, it was reported that former band member Scott Putesky, who also had legal conflict with Manson in the past, had sided with Bier in the lawsuit. On December 11, 2009, following two years of litigation, it was reported that the lawsuit between Manson and Bier was settled. The result was that Marilyn Manson’s insurance paid $175,000 legal fees and Bier received nothing following Grodsky & Oleck’s sucessfull bid to have all of Bier’s allegation’s against them dismissed and legal fees amounting to $72,000, paid from settlement monies. [16]

Condemnation from PETA[edit]

After media comments from Manson that he wears his signature black leather pants 24/7, animal rights group PETA added Manson to PETA’s ‘Worst-Dressed Celebrities of 2008’.

Wes Borland’s return to Limp Bizkit[edit]

Manson has criticized live guitarist Wes Borland’s departure, confessing that «We almost made the mistake of having Wes play guitar but he re-joined Limp Bizkit. That move forever eradicated my feelings on his choices in life as an artist.» When asked why he thinks Borland returned to Limp Bizkit, Manson said: «That is what I find myself asking when I urinate sometimes. He said he would never go back. If the reason is money, then I’d rather roll up a 5 note and shove it up my urethra. I’d rather set my dick on fire than join something that I hated.»[17]

In his defense, Borland retorted that «I wrote nine songs to be submitted to the Manson record and none of them made it. I was really in hired gun land there, but was sort of being told that I wasn’t. So when I figured that whole thing out, I knew I was never going to get an inch into that band […] but it’s the Marilyn Manson show over there — Limp Bizkit is more of a band.»[18]

Other case settlements[edit]

  • In September 1996, former bassist Gidget Gein negotiated a settlement with Manson where he would receive $17,500 in cash, 20 percent of any royalties paid for recordings and for any songs he had a hand in writing and his share of any other royalties or fees the group earned while he was a member. Furthermore, the settlement allowed him to market himself as a former member of Marilyn Manson. This settlement was not honored, however.[19]
  • In 1997, former guitarist and songwriter Scott Putesky (also known as Daisy Berkowitz), filed a $15 million suit against Manson seeking unpaid royalties for his contributions to the band’s output up to that period, including the recently released Antichrist Superstar. The case was concluded in 1998, although the outcome was confidential.
  • On January 4, 1999, SPIN editor Craig Marks filed an assault and battery lawsuit against Manson in the New York Supreme Court. The lawsuit specifically alleged that Manson, upset at not making the cover of SPIN, had yelled «I can kill you, I can kill your family, I can kill everyone you know!» before two of Manson’s bodyguards were said to have charged him and held him against the wall and threw him to the floor after which it was alleged Manson had said, «That’s what you get when you disrespect me.» The case was dropped when, weeks later, Marks was fired from SPIN over financial irregularities.
  • In a civil battery suit, David Diaz, a security officer from a concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 27, 2000, sued for $75,000 in a Minneapolis federal court. The federal court jury found in Manson’s favor.
  • In a civil suit presented by Oakland County, Michigan, Manson was charged with sexual misconduct against another security officer, Joshua Keasler, during a concert in Clarkston, Michigan on July 30, 2001. Oakland County originally filed assault and battery and criminal sexual misconduct charges, but the judge reduced the latter charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Manson pleaded no contest to the reduced charges, paid a $4,000 fine, and later settled the lawsuit under undisclosed terms.
  • On April 3, 2002 Maria St. John filed in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Manson of providing her adult daughter, Jennifer Syme, with cocaine and instructing her to drive while under the influence. The case was settled out of court.

Quotes[edit]

  • Music is the strongest form of magic.
  • You know, something as simple as a movie like Paranormal Activity. I’ve watched that and I felt really condescended or insulted because I’ve had more scary, frightening and more interesting believable experiences happen that I can’t explain and I think they’re encouraged by my interest in things that maybe you shouldn’t look into.
  • Hopefully, I’ll be remembered as the person who brought an end to Christianity.
  • To try to diagnose the mind of an artist is to destroy it.
  • In the end we’re all Springer guests, really, we just haven’t been on the show.
  • The burden of originality is one that most people don’t want to accept. They’d rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they’re supposed to like, what they’re supposed to buy, and what they’re supposed to laugh at. You have Beavis and Butt-head telling you what music you’re allowed to like and not like, and you’ve got sitcoms that have canned laughter that lets you know when to laugh if you’re too stupid to know when the joke is—people are too lazy and too stupid to think for themselves because America has raised them like that.
  • Find out what’s really out there. I never said to be like me, I say be like you and make a difference.
  • This is the culture you’re raising your kids in. Don’t be surprised if it blows up in your face.
  • When people say ‘I want to be like you’, I tell them if you want to be like me, then be yourself.
  • I’m thankful that I have two middle fingers…..I only wish I had more.
  • I view my job as being someone who is supposed to piss people off. I don’t want to be just one-of-the-guys. I don’t want to be just a smiling face you see on television presenting some vapid kind of easily-digestible garbage. This is rock and roll. I want to be a rock and roll star! Rock and roll is about shaking things up, making people act and react. That’s what I do.
  • We’ve always found that with people being so desensitized, things have to be really shocking and have to punch you in the face to get your attention. Then, once you’ve got their attention. You can say something they might remember.
  • I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.
  • Billy Zane is someone that I met and is a fellow artist, and sometimes we work together, painting, however pretentious that might sound. It was really quite simple, though. We would just spend time together, hanging out, listening to music, or painting. We became friends. He was one of the first people I met when I moved to Hollywood. And I think he’s a cool actor.
  • Part of me is afraid to get close to people because I’m afraid that they’re going to leave.
  • I’ve always had the same level of excitement about making music, but now it seems so much more important because all of the blame that was put on me for Columbine. The entire incident, the way the media reacted, the people who were involved, the way I was treated, it hurt me personally because my career is my life. It made me feel a lot like how I felt growing up because it was a lot of people beating you down and treating you a certain way for something you’re not even responsible for. I just really had to re-evaluate what I was gonna do; How am I gonna respond to this, how am I gonna take this? And I wanted to come out swinging with both fists.
  • It is a great feeling to write a song, but to be able to perform it, it takes on a whole different light.
  • The ability to make small children cry at the store i like better than the fame.
  • I’ve always watched pop-culture shows, and I found out when I thought about this, Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson were the two most memorable people from the sixties, and I found it interesting that things like pop-culture shows put them on the same kind of celebrity status, and I thought that dichotomy of positive and negative, putting those two names together, represented what I had to say and what I was about. (On where the name, Marilyn Manson, came from.)
  • I hate the record industry because the whole idea of they make choices not based on art. They make choices based on money, and that’s why they’re destroyed. Because they don’t know how to make money. You make money just by doing art. And you do it and it’s pure and it succeeds. Because people want something that’s real and if you over think it, it becomes something that’s contrived.[25]
  • Michael Moore: «If you were to talk directly to the kids at Columbine…. what would you say to them if they were here right now?» Marilyn Manson: «I wouldn’t say a single word to them I would listen to what they had to say, and that’s what no one did.»
