with the band and its lead singer inuencing numerous

other groups and musicians, both in metal-associated acts
and also in wider popular culture. VH1 ranked Marilyn
Manson as the seventy-eighth best rock band on their 100
Great Artists of Hard Rock. They were inducted into the
Kerrang! Hall of Fame in 2000, and have been nominated for four Grammy Awards. In the US, the band has
seen eight of its releases debut in the top ten, including
two number-one albums. Marilyn Manson have sold in
excess of 50 million records worldwide.
For the person, see
Marilyn Manson is an American rock band formed by

singer Marilyn Manson and guitarist Daisy Berkowitz in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1989. Originally named
Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, they gained a local cult following in South Florida in the early 1990s with
their theatrical live performances. In 1993, they were the
rst act signed to Trent Reznor's Nothing Records label.
Until 1996, the name of each member was created by
combining the rst name of an iconic female sex symbol and the last name of an iconic serial killer, for example Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson. Their lineup
has changed between many of their album releases; the
current members of Marilyn Manson are the eponymous
lead singer (the only remaining original member), bassist
Twiggy Ramirez, guitarists Paul Wiley and Tyler Bates,
keyboardist/percussionist Daniel Fox, and drummer Gil
Sharone.
1.1.1 History
Formation and The Spooky Kids (198992)
In 1989, Brian Warner was a college student working towards a degree in journalism at Broward College, gaining experience by writing music articles for the South
Florida lifestyle magazine 25th Parallel.[2] It was in this
capacity that he met several of the musicians to whom
his own band would later be compared, including My
Life With the Thrill Kill Kult and Trent Reznor of Nine
Inch Nails.[3] That December, he met Scott Putesky, who
proposed that the two form a band together after reading
some lyrics and poems written by the singer.[4][5] Warner,
guitarist Putesky and bassist Brian Tutunick recorded
their rst demo tape as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky
Kids in 1990, taking on the stage names of Marilyn
Manson, Daisy Berkowitz and Olivia Newton Bundy,
respectively.[6] Bundy left the band soon after, and was
replaced by Gidget Gein, born Brad Stewart.[7] They were
later joined on keyboard by Stephen Bier, who called
himself Madonna Wayne Gacy.[8] In 1991, drummer
Fred Streithorst joined the band under the name Sara Lee
Lucas.[9]
In the past, band members dressed in outlandish makeup

and costumes, and engaged in intentionally shocking behavior both onstage and o. Their lyrics often received
criticism for their anti-religious sentiment and references
to sex, violence and drugs, while their live performances
were frequently called oensive and obscene. On several occasions, protests and petitions led to the group
being blocked from performing, with at least three US
states passing legislation banning the group from performing at state-owned venues. They released a number
of platinum-selling albums, including Antichrist Superstar
(1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998). These albums,
along with their highly-stylized music videos and worldwide touring, brought public recognition to Marilyn Man- The stage names adopted by each member were represon. In 1999, news media falsely blamed the band for sentative of a concept the band considered central: the

The Spooky Kids popularity in the area grew quickly,
largely thanks to the support of WYNX-FM DJ Scott
David, who would regularly play songs from the bands
demo tapes on air,[11] and because of the bands highly visual concerts, which drew from performance art and used
many shock techniques such as naked women nailed to a
cross, a child in a cage, or bloody animal body parts.[12]
Band members variously performed in womens clothing or bizarre costumes; and, for lack of a professional
pyrotechnician, would set their own stage props on re.[11]
The band would contrast these theatrics with elements
drawn from their youth: characters from 1970s and '80s
childrens television made regular, often grotesquely altered, appearances on band yers and newsletters, and
were frequently sampled in their music.[10] They continued to perform and release cassettesshortening their
name to Marilyn Manson in 1992until the summer of
1993, when they drew the attention of Reznor, who had
just founded his own label, Nothing Records.[13]
CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW
thrash band Amboog-a-Lard. Four other local musicians,
bassists Mark Dubin of Sister Venus and Patrick Joyce
from The Itch, guitarist Miles Hie and violinist Mary Karlzen were also involved.[15][16]
Reznor agreed to rework production of The Manson Family Album in October 1993 at Record Plant Studios in Los
Angeles. Gein, who had been hospitalized after his fourth
heroin overdose, was not invited to participate.[11] After
seven weeks of mixing, re-recording and remixing, the album now titled Portrait of an American Family was
presented to Nothings parent label Interscope.[10] As rst
single "Get Your Gunn" was beginning to receive airplay,
Gein received a letter declaring his services no longer
needed by the band, after he overdosed on heroin for a
fth time.[10][14] He was replaced by White, of Ambooga-Lard, who undertook the alias Twiggy Ramirez.[7] The
album was released on July 19, 1994 and peaked at
number thirty-ve on Billboard's Top Heatseekers album
chart.[17] The band began its rst national headlining tour
in December 1994, with Jack O Jill opening.[18] During
Portrait of an American Family and Smells Like Chil- the bands stint as opening act on the Nine Inch Nails tour,
Manson met Church of Satan founder Dr. Anton LaVey,
dren (19931995)
who bestowed Manson with the title of "Reverend"
meaning a person who is revered by the church, and not
necessarily one who dedicates their life to preaching the
religion to others, as with a priest or minister.[10] Manson would use this title in the liner notes of the bands
following album, citing himself as Reverend Marilyn
Manson.[19]

Reznor oered the band a contract with the label, as

well as an opening slot supporting Nine Inch Nails on
their upcoming "Self Destruct Tour".[13] After accepting
both oers, recording sessions for their debut studio album began in July 1993 with Swans producer Roli Mosimann at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida. Recording
a selection of new songs along with material from their
Spooky Kids repertoire, the rst version of their debut,
titled The Manson Family Album, was completed by the
end of September. However, it was not well received.[14]
The bands members, along with Reznor, criticized Mosimanns production as being at, lifeless and poorly representative of the bands live performances.[10] At the same
time, Gidget Gein had begun to lose control of his addiction to heroin.[14] Before reworking the album, the band
played two shows in Florida under the name Mrs. Scabtree. This band featured Manson on drums, Gacy on
keyboard, Berkowitz on guitar, and Jessicka from Jack
O Jill sharing vocal duties with Jeordie White of Miami
In March 1995, the band began a two-month tour, this

time with Monster Voodoo Machine as support.[20] This
would be drummer Sara Lee Lucas last tour with the
band.[9] Kenneth Wilson, better known by his stage name
Ginger Fish, then joined the group before they embarked
on a tour with rock bands Danzig and Korn.[10] The band
then relocated to the new home of Nothing Studios in
New Orleans to begin work on remixes and b-sides for
Portrait's third single, "Dope Hat",[10] releasing a music
video inspired by the boat ride scene from the 1971 movie
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.[21] The proposed
single eventually developed into an hour-long EP, titled
Smells Like Children. The EPs fteen tracks of covers,
remixes, and sonic experiments also included the bands
version of the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of
This)",[22] which would prove to be their rst legitimate
hit.[23] The songs music video was placed in heavy rotation on MTV,[24] in stark contrast with the Dope Hat
video, which the same channel had banished to late-night
airplay only a few months prior.[25] A seven-month headlining tour followed, during which the band began to debut new material.[26]
Antichrist Superstar (199697)
The bands second studio album, Antichrist Superstar,
was released on October 8, 1996.[27] The rock opera
concept album[28] was recorded at Nothing Studios with

colade in 1996.[31] The year long "Dead to the World
Tour" followed, which was the bands longest and widestranging tour yet. In the US, however, the band was receiving more attention than ever before, and not all of it
was positive. As the tour was getting underway, the band
found itself the target of congressional hearings, led by
Senator Joseph Lieberman, to determine the eects, if
any, of violent lyrics on young listeners.[33] Lieberman
would later go on to refer to Marilyn Manson as perhaps
the sickest group ever promoted by a mainstream record
company.[34] In addition, nearly every performance of
the tour was picketed by religious organizations.[35]
The band released their second EP, Remix & Repent,

on November 25, 1997, which featured new versions of
Antichrist Superstar's four singles, The Beautiful People, "Tourniquet", "Antichrist Superstar" and "Man That
You Fear".[36] The same year, three previously unreleased songs were included on the soundtracks to motion pictures, "Long Hard Road Out of Hell" appeared
on the soundtrack to Spawn,[37] "Apple of Sodom" on
the soundtrack to David Lynch's Lost Highway, while
The Suck for Your Solution featured on the soundtrack
to the Howard Stern biopic Private Parts.[38] In February 1998, Manson released his autobiography, The Long
Hard Road out of Hell,[38] as well as a live video entitled
Dead to the World. It also came to light around this time

era[39] in favor of attire more suited to the genre, incorpo"The Beautiful People" was released as the albums lead
single, and made a fairly major impact on the alternative rock charts. It created enough anticipation for Antichrist Superstar that the album debuted at number three
on the Billboard 200[31] with rst-week sales of 132,000
copies.[32] Manson also appeared on the cover of Rolling
Stone, who awarded the band their 'Best New Artist' ac-
rating leather, platform boots and brightly dyed hair.[39]

The band also relocated from New Orleans to Los Angeles,[39] while Zim Zum was replaced by guitarist John
Lowery,[44] who dubbed himself John 5.[45] Immediately
prior to this, Lowery had been a member of former Judas
Priest vocalist Rob Halford's 2wo, who were themselves
signed to Nothing Records.[46]
CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW
Pussy taking over select opening slots.[58]
The nal four dates of the tour were canceled out of respect for the victims of the Columbine High School massacre.[59][60] The latter half of 1999 and much of 2000
was a period of relative silence for the band, who refused to take part in interviews and retreated from public life.[61] They shelved plans for a proposed single and
music video for their cover of AC/DC's "Highway to
Hell", which appeared on the soundtrack to Detroit Rock
City.[62] They spent this period writing and recording in
a secluded studio in Death Valley,[63][64] with only the
live album The Last Tour on Earth appearing during this
time.[65] A studio outtake from Antichrist Superstar, titled "Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes", served as
its only single.[66]
Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)
(200002)
Manson as Mechanical Animals antagonist, "Omega"
Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was released on November 14, 2000.[67] Produced by the bands
lead singer with Dave Sardy, the album also features programming and pre-production editing by Bon Harris of
Nitzer Ebb.[68] The band wrote over 100 songs for the
album,[68] which was a return to the darker, more abrasive sound of Antichrist Superstar. Much of its content
was written in response to the Columbine massacre,[69]
with the albums third single, "The Nobodies", directly
referencing the shootings.[70] Described by the bands
frontman as the third part of a trilogy which began with
Antichrist Superstar and continued in Mechanical Animals,[71] its overarching theme is an exploration of the
relationship between death and fame in American culture, and its lyrics and artwork contain many references to
John F. Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald, John Lennon
and Mark David Chapman, and Abraham Lincoln and
John Wilkes Booth.[72] The "Guns, God and Government
Tour" elaborated on Holy Wood's central theme, and with
its logo a rie and handguns arranged to resemble the
Christian cross Manson made no attempt to conceal
what he saw as the source of that fascination.[73]
Interscopes promotion of the album was massive,[47]

with the label erecting enormous billboards of the lead
singer as an androgynous extraterrestrial in both Times
Square and Sunset Strip.[48] Repeated appearances on
MTV and other networks helped propel the albums lead
single, "The Dope Show", to number twelve on Billboards Mainstream Rock chart,[41] becoming the bands
highest-charting single yet in the process.[49] The songs
music video was critically acclaimed, winning two awards
at the 1998 Billboard Music Video Awards[50] as well
as the Best Cinematography award at the 1999 MTV
VMAs;[51] while the song was also nominated for Best
Hard Rock Performance at the 41st Annual Grammy
Awards.[52] The album would go on to debut at number
one on the Billboard 200, with rst week sales of over The band also revealed that within their concept album

As part of the albums promotional campaign, the band
joined the 2001 line-up of Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest, although they initially refused to take part in its June 21 date
in Denvertheir rst appearance in Colorado since the
Columbine massacre.[76] After protests from several religious groups, however, the band announced on their website that they would perform in Denver, and planned to
balance out their violent lyrics by quoting Bible text,
so we can examine the virtues of wonderful Christian
stories of disease, murder, adultery, suicide and child
sacrice.[77][78] During the concert, Manson read passages such as Leviticus 20:9 (For every one that curseth
his father or his mother shall surely be put to death) and
Psalm 137:9 (Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth
thy little ones against the stones).[79] The tour was documented by a DVD of the same name, which was released
on October 29, 2002. In addition to a compilation style
concert [songs from multiple individual shows edited together to appear as a single performance], it includes a
thirty-minute short lm titled The Death Parade.[80]
This was followed by Guns, God and Government Live

Readers Choice Award for Album of the Year.[90]

Eschewing the lyrical depth and symbolism found on Holy

regime.[91] Lyrically, Manson utilizes the narrative mode
of stream of consciousness throughout the album to examine the human psyche in times of crisis, specically
focusing on the mindset of lunatics and children, as,
according to Manson, they don't follow the rules [of
society].[92] Several songs incorporate elements commonly found in playground chants and nursery rhymes,
which Manson would pervert into something ugly and
lurid.[92] The work of Kurt Weill was also noted as an
inuence, along with the lucid dreams the singer was having during its production, with Manson explaining that
he would wake up and say, 'I want to write a song that
sounds like a stampeding elephant,' or 'I want to write a
song that sounds like a burning piano.'"[92][93]
Earlier in 2001, the band released a cover of Gloria

Jones' "Tainted Love" on the soundtrack to Not Another
Teen Movie.[82] The song became the bands biggest international hit yet, peaking at number one in numerous European territories.[83] In 2002, Jonathan Davis
of Korn invited Marilyn Manson to record vocals on
a track titled Redeemer, which was released on his
soundtrack to Queen of the Damned.[84] Manson also appeared in Michael Moore's 2002 documentary, Bowling
for Columbine; his appearance was lmed on the same
day as their Denver Ozzfest performance. When Moore
asked what Manson would have said to the students at
Columbine, he replied, I wouldn't say a single word to
them. I would listen to what they have to say, and thats
Manson began his long-term collaboration with Austrianwhat no one did.[85]

Lest We Forget: The Best Of was released on September
28, 2004 and was referred to by Manson as a farewell
compilation.[98] It was the last album released under
Nothing Records, as the label was dissolved following a
lawsuit led by Reznor against his former manager and
business partner, John Malm.[99] The compilation was
supported by the "Against All Gods Tour",[100] as well as
a singlea cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus".[101]
It was the rst and only tour to feature Mark Chaussee of
Rob Halfords Fight on lead guitar,[102] replacing John 5,
whose relationship with Manson had soured over the previous year.[103] During the bands performance of The
Beautiful People at the 2003 Rock am Ring festival,
Manson kicked and then shoved the guitarist. John 5 responded in anger, throwing his guitar to the ground and
raising his sts to Manson, before resuming the song.[104]
Former Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna also replaced Ginger Fish, who fractured his wrist, skull and
cheekbone after falling several feet o his drum riser during a performance at a German awards ceremony.[105][106]
Eat Me, Drink Me (200608)
Skld and Manson during the Rape of the World Tour
By late 2005, the band had composed eighteen new songs,

but work on their sixth studio album was halted when
Manson focused his attention toward various lm and
art projects, including the development of his screenplay,
Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, as well
as a minor role in the Lucy Liu movie Rise: Blood
Hunter.[107] He also launched a self-proclaimed art movement, the Celebritarian Corporation, which included
artist Gottfried Helnwein, fashion designer Steven Klein
and director Anthony Silva,[108] as well as announcing
plans to open an art gallery and publish a book of his
paintings.[109] It was after opening the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery Of Fine Art on Melrose Avenue in 2006
that work started on new material, with Manson writing
lyrics over Sklds already existing compositions.[110]
The resulting material was composed and recorded entirely by Skld, and does not feature writing or performance contributions from any other member of the
band.[111] Its content is largely inspired by personal trou-
CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW
bles relating to Mansons failed marriage to Von Teese,
and his burgeoning relationship with then-19-year old
actress Evan Rachel Wood.[110] The band made their
debut appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
on October 31, 2006, performing their cover of "This
Is Halloween" from a deluxe edition re-release of The
Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack.[112] This would
be their last performance featuring longtime keyboardist
Madonna Wayne (Pogo) Gacy,[113][114] who would go on
to le a $20m lawsuit against the band the following year
for unpaid partnership proceeds.[115]
The album was preceded by the release of a single, "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides
the Hand)", whose music video was shot using director James Cameron's 3D Fusion Camera System
technology.[116] The video caused controversy upon release, with several sources claiming that it featured genuine footage of Manson and Wood engaged in sexual
intercourse.[116][117][118][119] Wood was reportedly paid
the highest [music] video salary in history to appear in
the video.[120] Eat Me, Drink Me was released on June 5,
2007,[121] and entered the Billboard 200 at number eight
with rst week sales of 88,000 copies.[122] It also peaked
in the top ten of most major international album charts,
as well as at number two on Billboard's European Albums
Chart.[123] "Putting Holes In Happiness" was released as
the albums second single,[124] with a remix of the track
by Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner appearing on
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.[125]
To promote the album, the band embarked on the ninemonth "Rape of the World Tour", which featured Skld
on lead guitar,[126] former The Prodigy bassist Rob Holliday[127] and longtime drummer Ginger Fish; while
Vrenna rejoined the band as their live keyboardist.[128]
The rst leg of the tour was a co-headlining set with
American thrash metal band Slayer, with support coming from Bleeding Through.[129][130] In November 2007,
Manson conrmed that he and Skld had begun work on
the bands next studio album, with Slayers Kerry King,
former The Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha and
Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs set to feature.[131] By
the beginning of 2008, however, Twiggy Ramirez had rejoined the band as bassist, resulting in the exit of Skld,
with Holliday moving from bass to lead guitar for the remaining duration of the tour.[132] Future collaborations
with Skld were not ruled out.[133]
The High End of Low (200809)
In March 2008, Twiggy stated through his Myspace blog
that the band had began work on their seventh studio
album.[134] Four months later, former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland joined the band for their headlining
show at the 2008 ETP Fest in South Korea.[135] However,
Borland left the group to reunite with Limp Bizkit after
just one other performance.[136] He later said that he was
reluctant to be a hired gun, citing the bands refusal to

record any of the nine songs he submitted for their upcoming album.[137] R&B singer Ne-Yo claimed in early
December that he would hold writing sessions with the
bands frontman on new material,[138] although Manson
released a statement on Christmas Eve denying this,[139]
saying that he had never even met Ne-Yo. I can assure
him that he would not want to be associated with something this godless.[140]
The High End of Low was recorded throughout 2008,
with Manson recording vocals at his Hollywood Hills
home studio[141] between November and January 5,
2009.[142] Produced by Manson, Twiggy and Vrenna with
Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals co-producer
Sean Beavan,[143][144] Manson described the album as
containing extreme autobiographical content relating
to the dissolution of his engagement to Wood,[141][142]
and as being very ruthless, heavy and violent.[145] Its
fteen songs appear on the album in the order they
were written.[142] The penultimate track, Into the Fire,
portrays the vocalists mental state on Christmas Day,
wherein he attempted to contact Wood 158 times, cutting himself with a razorblade on the face or hands for
each corresponding attempt.[146] The albums nal song,
15, was completed on Mansons January 5 birthday
hence the name.[142] Manson utilized his entire home as a
canvas to document the disintegration of the relationship,
writing its lyrics on walls and coupling them with paintings and drawings relating to Wood, as well as used condoms, bags of cocaine and other drug paraphernalia.[143]

ing that the label cares more about Vitamin Water [the
private equity venture of Interscope-signed 50 Cent[155] ]
than music.[156] Reznor who, as of 2015, remains
friends with Iovine[157] responded by calling Manson
a dopey clown and claiming that He is a malicious
guy and will step on anybodys [sic] face to succeed
and cross any line of decency.[158] While promoting
the album in the UK, Manson appeared inebriated in a
series of interviews.[159][160][161] An interview for Alan
Carr: Chatty Man recorded during this time remains
unaired,[162] due to graphic language and content.[163] A
music video for "Running to the Edge of the World"
in which Manson beats a Wood lookalike to death was
released on November 4 and was condemned as a perceived glorication of violence against women.[164][165]
The band parted ways with Interscope on December
3.[166] Eight days later,[167] they settled the lawsuit led by
former keyboardist Stephen Bier (aka M.W. Gacy), with
Mansons insurance company paying Biers attorneys fees
and Bier receiving no monetary value.[168][169][170]
Born Villain (200912)

Upon parting with Interscope, Manson said a lot of the
creative control on which my hands were tied [has been
regained]", while stating that the band had been writing
new material while touring their previous album.[171] At
the beginning of 2010, Vrenna said that they were talking and coming up with concepts for their upcoming
studio album.[172] Manson attested that its lyrical content would be more romantic yet self-abusive,[171]
and described its sonic elements as being suicide death
metal.[173] That April, Manson expressed interest in
releasing the record in a dierent way from previous
ones.[174] Fred Sablan bassist for Twiggy and Masters
of Reality vocalist Chris Goss' project Goon Moon[175]
joined the band in July.[176] By October, Twiggy described the album as being almost done, and opined
that Its our best record yet. I mean, everyone always says that, but I think this is our best work so far.
Its kind of like a little more of a punk rock Mechanical Animals, without sounding too pretentious.[177] The
following month, it was announced that the band had
signed a joint-venture deal with London-based indie label
Cooking Vinyl.[177] As part of the deal, the band would
retain creative control over their artistic direction,[178]
with the band and label sharing prots equally after the
label recoups costs associated with marketing, promotion
and distribution.[179]
"We're from America" was released as a free download on the bands website on March 27, 2009,[147]
while a Hot Topic-exclusive CD single followed two
weeks later.[148] After playing an instrumental version
of "Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon" to Interscopes A&R department, it was chosen as the albums
ocial lead single, with an employee telling Manson,
This is gonna be a hit!". Manson then quipped to the
employee, Well, I'm glad that you have no consideration for what I [might] put on top of it.[149] A heavily
censored version of the profanity-laced track re-titled
to Arma... geddon[150] was serviced to radio from
April 13,[147] and peaked at number thirty-seven on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, becoming their lowestpeaking single in the process.[49] The album was released
on May 26, 2009 and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 with sales of over 49,000 copies, their lowest
opening week gure since The Last Tour on Earth debuted with 26,000 copies in 1999.[151] It was supported
by "The High End of Low Tour". Rob Holliday did not

to peak at number twenty-six on the Mainstream Rock
chart, spending fourteen weeks on the chart, and was
their best-performing single there since Personal Jesus
in 2004.[49] Born Villain was released worldwide from
April 30,[193] debuting at number ten on the Billboard
200 and atop both the Independent Albums and Top Hard
Rock Albums charts.[195] Internationally, it peaked within
the top ten of numerous territories,[196] and spent two
weeks at number one on the UK Rock Albums Chart.[197]
A remix EP for "Slo-Mo-Tion" followed on November
5.[198] The band embarked on the seventeen-month "Hey
Cruel World... Tour" from the end of April,[199] which
was interspersed by co-headlining tours with Rob Zombie
("Twins of Evil") and Alice Cooper ("Masters of Madness").[200][201]

The Pale Emperor (201215)
In August 2012, Manson announced he would appear

in the sixth season of David Duchovny's television series Californication.[202] While lming the season nale
at the Greek Theatre in LA,[203] Manson met the series
score composer, Tyler Bates, who mentioned the idea
of collaborating.[204] In May 2013, Manson conrmed
that production had started on new material,[205] and by
February 2014, Gil Sharone, drummer for The Dillinger
Escape Plan and Stolen Babies, stated that he had performed on the bands upcoming record.[206] Four months
later, Sablan announced that he had left the group,[207]

logo.[183] The logo consisted of the letter M repeated four
times in a spiral pattern, each with one long tail. At the
end of two of the tails was the Taoist symbol , which
is the inner trigram of hexagram 30 from the I Ching,
named (pronounced: l). This hexagram, symbolizing radiance, is also known as the clinging, re and
the net.[184] The CMYK coloring was also notable with
regard to an acrostic which appeared in a journal entry
accompanying the site changes, spelling out the words
Christianity Manufactures Yesterdays Killers.[183]
The album was preceded by the release of "No Reection", which Manson leaked to KROQ-FM on March

'best of 2015' lists.[229][230][231][232][233][234][235][236] It was

Say10 and recent activity (2015present)

While touring with The Smashing Pumpkins in 2015,
Manson indicated a strong possibility of working with
Corgan on new material, and also revealed plans to collaborate with Korn frontman Jonathan Davis on a "Southernsounding, acoustic project.[241] On November 2, Manson announced in an interview with KEGL that work had
begun on the bands tenth studio album, while also conrming that Twiggy, Bates and Sharone would all be involved in its recording.[242] In February 2016, Manson
appeared on a tribute album to Giorgio Moroder curated
by Shooter Jennings, titled Countach (For Giorgio), contributing vocals to a version of David Bowies "Cat People
(Putting Out Fire)".[243][244][245] A 16-bit music video for
the song was released in August.[246][247] Also in February, details were also announced of another co-headlining
tour, this time with heavy metal band Slipknot.[248] The
tour was scheduled to begin on June 9 in Salt Lake
City and consist of thirty-four dates in Amphitheatres
throughout North America, with support from Of Mice
& Men.[249] However, the rst twelve dates of the tour
were postponed after a physical examination revealed
that Corey Taylor had broken two vertebrae in his neck.
The tour began on June 28 in Nashville, Tennessee, with
the postponed shows rescheduled for August.[250]
John 5 performing with Rob Zombie in 2014
Before parting ways with the band in 1996, Daisy

Berkowitz was their lead composer,[277] either writing or
co-writing the majority of their music alongside Gidget
Gein.[14][278] Until his departure in 2002,[279] Twiggy was
their chief musical contributor, co-writing many of the
bands biggest hits with Manson during this period.[280]
Despite never receiving a writing credit, drummer Ginger Fish provided substantial pre-production assistance
to both Manson and Twiggy while composing demos for
Antichrist Superstar. His drums loops and sound eects
would go on to be predominantly featured on several
tracks, most notably The Beautiful People.[281] John
5 and Tim Skld were also prevalent composers,[45][111]
with the latter composing every song on Eat Me, Drink
Me;[282] while The Pale Emperor was composed entirely
by Tyler Bates.[283]
All of the bands lyrics are written by Manson, whose

songwriting style varies between albums.[284] Utilizing aesthetics often found within spoken-word poetry,[275][285] his writing employs various means of
word play[286][287] for comedic eect,[275] such as
puns[288][289][290] and double entendres,[291][292] and
he makes frequent use of literary devices such as
alliteration[293] and symbolism.[294] These witticisms often take the form of neologisms, delivered several
at a time in rapid-re succession.[295] Lyrical content
has emerged from a wide range of subjects, including
love,[110] sex and sexuality,[35] sexual abuse, consumerism
and politics,[296] revenge,[142] suicide and capitalism,[271]

violence and mortality,[297] as well as various aspects of

Manson disputes the use of the label,[258] preferring fashion,[301] although he invariably enhances his vocal
instead to identify their work as being primarily rooted register by utilizing several extended vocal techniques,

in Europe as part of Record Store Day.[251][252] It is currently unknown if the album which celebrates the twentieth anniversary of its release this October will be
reissued in an expanded format later this year.[27] The
band have also been conrmed to take part in Slipknots
Knotfest 2016 in Japan.[253] On July 19, Manson announced that the bands tenth studio album would be released on Valentines Day in 2017, and would be titled

1.1.3
Inuences
The earliest incarnation of the band was conceived by

Manson at a Miami nightclub called The Reunion Room
in December 1989,[4] where he was introduced to Big
Black's Songs About Fucking by his future keyboardist,
Stephen Bier.[10] Daisy Berkowitz played in several punk
rock outts before co-founding the Spooky Kids, and was
inuenced by acts such as New York Dolls and the Jim
Carroll Band, whose People Who Died was covered
regularly at live shows.[10] Using a Yamaha RX-8 drum
machine,[4] they produced several demo tapes of experimental, beat-heavy compositions, similar to Steve Albini's work with Big Black.[313] With the addition of a
live drummer, the band gradually altered and developed
their composing process, recording techniques and live
performances.[313]
As its only permanent member, Manson heads the direction of the bands sound, who has been inuenced
by the shock rock work of artists such as Screamin'
Jay Hawkins,[314] Arthur Brown,[10] Alice Cooper,[260]
The Doors,[315] Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne[260] and
Iggy Pop.[316] His biggest inuence, however, was
David Bowie, who he credited with changing [his] life
forever.[316][317] The two have often been compared by
mainstream media, particularly in relation to their ability
to shift genre and style replete with a new look and musical philosophy with each studio release.[318][319][320]
For several years, Manson sang "Cat People (Putting
Out Fire)" as a vocal warm up exercise before live
performances,[321] later covering the song with outlaw
country musician Shooter Jennings.[322]
During their period at Nothing Records, the bands sound
gathered sonic elements from other outts on that labels roster, particularly Nine Inch Nails, with Reznor
co-producing their rst two studio albums.[27][41] Manson has cited Queen as an inuence on the bands more
melodic work,[41] while new wave and synthpop acts such
as Depeche Mode[323] and Gary Numan[324] have been
noted as inuencing their electronic material. Manson
said of the latter, I was always into his apocalyptic ction lyrics. He pioneered electronic dance music.[325]
The work of gothic rock acts such as The Cure[326] and
Bauhaus has also been cited, with Twiggy saying that as
far as guitar and bass combinations go, Bauhaus Daniel
Ash and David J were a really big inuence.[327] Johnny
Manson in the dental device from The Beautiful People
Marilyn Manson have been credited with creating some

of the most recognizable and visually dening music
videos of the MTV Generation,[329] with some commentators suggesting that their music videos played a signicant role in the bands commercial success.[330][331] Their
work frequently incorporates surrealist iconography
and purposefully grotesque imagery,[190][332][333][334] and
their style has been emulated by other performers.[335]
Joseph Schafer of Stereogum said in 2015 that perhaps no single artist has mastered the music video as a
medium so well [as Marilyn Manson].[271] They have
received numerous awards and accolades for their work.
Three of their videos Sweet Dreams (Are Made of
This)", The Beautiful People and The Dope Show
received a total of ve MTV Video Music Award nominations. The latter won the Award for Best Cinematography at the 1999 ceremony,[51] and two awards at the
1998 Billboard Music Video Awards.[50] The Beautiful
People appeared at number fty-four on MTV's list of
the '100 Greatest Music Videos Ever Made',[336] as well
as at number one-hundred on MuchMusic's 100 Greatest
Videos Ever.[337] Their 2003 video for "(s)AINT" was
referred to by NME as one of the most explicit music
videos ever made,[338] and was included in lists of the
'Most Controversial Music Videos by both Time and SF
Weekly.[339][340]
The band have received several Kerrang! Awards
throughout their career, and were inducted into the
Kerrang! Hall of Fame in 2000.[341] Manson also received their Icon Award in 2005,[342][343] as well as their
Lifetime Achievement Award ten years later.[344] The
publication has ranked Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the
Valley of Death) as the eleventh greatest rock album of
the 2000s,[345] and in 2015 they listed Manson as the
twenty-eighth greatest rockstar in the world.[346] VH1 included Marilyn Manson at seventy-eight on their list of
1.1. MARILYN MANSON

the 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock,[347] and also included The Beautiful People at number eighty-six on
their list of the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs.[348] Similarly, Gigwise included Manson at number thirty-six in
their list of the '60 Greatest Solo Artists of All Time'
and said: He is sex, he is religion, he is art and ultimately pure hedonistic entertainment. He is the reaction to the horror that surrounds him.[349] In 2016, Manson was presented with an Icon Award at the Alternative
Press Music Awards.[350] The band has also received
four Grammy Award nominations, including two for Best
Metal Performance, along with nominations for Best
Hard Rock Performance and Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance.[52] Marilyn Manson have sold over 50 million
records worldwide.[350][351][352][353]
Its clear Manson isn't merely a freak rocker, media manipulator or one-trick pony. The secret to his longevity
lies not in his sometimes schlocky image, but in the content of his work. Not only are his songs sonically compelling and his themes fresh and intriguing, but his actions speak louder than his words. His imagery, sounds
and theatrics all still have a point, and like all true artists,
he continues to wring signicant messages from the lining of his contorted innards. Manson doesn't just bleed
for his art. He drinks, pukes, fornicates and risks his life
for it.
Jon Wiederhorn of MTV on Marilyn Manson, 2003[1]
Several commentators have referred to the bands lead
singer as being one of the most iconic and controversial gures in heavy metal music,[331][354][355][356]
with some going so far as to call him a "pop culture
icon".[357][358][359][360] Paste magazine said there were
few artists in the 90s as shocking as Marilyn Manson, the
most famous of the shock-rockers.[361] Rolling Stone editor Lorraine Ali credited Antichrist Superstar with marking the end of the reign of grunge within popular music,
writing that Marilyn Manson "[oered] total escapism
as a true alternative, elaborating that the album was a
volatile reaction to ve years of earnest, post-Nirvana
rock.[263] In 2003, Jon Wiederhorn of MTV called Manson the only major performer today who can justiably
call himself an artist.[1] Graham Hartmann of Loudwire
said that the bands best songs document a career that
is unlike any other that came before, highlighting their
mix of a rock 'n' roll mentality with profound lyrics narrating the progression of society in real time, Manson has
developed a polarizing identity as both a beloved hero and
a reviled villain.[362]
Similarly, Hannah Ewers of The Guardian wrote in
2016 that the bands music has never been more relevant [than] at this time of cultural and political turbulence. Whether [his lyrics are addressing] Americas
gun crime problem, sexual abuse, religious hypocrisy or
consumerism, Manson remains a relevant cultural gure
rather than a 90s one, because he continues to address
the times without lapsing into a parody, and opined:
11
As long as young people are angry (which they are),
he will have listeners.[296] Such controversial material
has invariably overshadowed the bands music, with Tim
Grierson of About.com writing, The downside to [the]
provocative album covers and bizarre appearance was
that the songs often took a backseat to his outrageous persona, but said that in terms of continuing the rock 'n'
roll tradition of oending authority, he was one of the art
forms most memorable troublemakers.[363]
The band has been noted as inuencing numerous
groups within metal-associated genres, such as American
Head Charge,[364] Avatar,[365] Babymetal,[366][367]
Combichrist,[368] Cradle of Filth,[369] Ghost,[370][371]
Korn,[372]

[376]
[377]
Murderdolls,
Mushroomhead,
New Years
Day,[378] September Mourning[379][380] and Slipknot.[381]
Outside of heavy metal, both the band and its lead
singer have inspired a diverse group of acts, including
Avril Lavigne,[382][383] Charli XCX,[384][385] Die Antwoord,[386] Eminem,[387] Grimes,[388] Lady Gaga,[389][390]
Lana Del Rey,[391] My Chemical Romance[392] and
Skylar Grey.[393] Garbage vocalist Shirley Manson has
called Manson an amazing gure and provocateur and
agitator and said that he was always challenging you
to think about the church, to think about sexuality and
to think about society in dierent ways. We just don't
have singers like that anymore.[394] Billy Corgan of
The Smashing Pumpkins has commended Mansons
manipulation of the culture of celebrity, saying: Hes
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. Hes a visionary in a way, because he
identied a culture that was coming and now that culture
is everywhere.[296]
1.1.5 Controversy
In December 1996, Senator Joseph Lieberman, along
with former Secretary of Education William Bennett and
Secretary of Pennsylvania State C. DeLores Tucker, held
a press conference wherein they questioned MCA the
owner of Interscope president Edgar Bronfman Jr.'s
ability to head the label competently whilst proting from
profanity-laced albums by artists such as Tupac Shakur,
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Marilyn Manson.[395] Earlier that
year, Tucker called the bands EP Smells Like Children
the dirtiest, nastiest porno record directed at children
that has ever hit the market.[396] The following November, Representative Sam Brownback chaired a hearing
of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Aairs titled Music Violence: How Does It Affect Our Children.[397] At this subcommittee, Lieberman
once again criticized the bands music, calling it vile,
hateful, nihilistic and damaging, and repeated his request that Seagram then-owner of MCA start [...]
disassociating itself from Marilyn Manson. The subcommittee also heard from Raymond Kuntz, of Burlington,

the "Dead to the World Tour", in particular, was
followed by protesters at nearly every North American
venue it visited.[35] Utah passed legislation allowing stateoperated venues to ban the group from performing, forcing the cancelation of their January 11, 1997 performance at Utah State Fairpark. This legislation was repealed six months later, when a group of nine fans successfully sued the state.[399] Similarly, an April 10 concert
at the state-owned Carolina Coliseum in Columbia, South
Carolina was canceled after the South Carolina House
of Representatives voted to ban Marilyn Manson from
ever performing on state-owned property. This resulted
in South Carolina being forced to pay the bands promoters $40,000 for loss of income.[400] The city council of Richmond, Virginia ordered the cancelation of
their May 10 concert at Richmond Coliseum.[400] The
American Civil Liberties Union sued the city on the
bands behalf.[401]
A July 22 concert at La Luna in Portland, Oregon was
canceled following the venues inability to obtain insurance for the event.[402] Their concert at Calgary's Max
Bell Arena three days later was also canceled, with the
owner of the venue Larry Ryckman citing the bands
reputation. He would later be successfully sued by the
bands promoters for $66,000 in damages.[403] The New
Jersey date of Ozzfest at Giants Stadium was canceled
by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, who
cited Marilyn Mansons performance as its reason.[404]
The event was only held after Ozzy Osbourne successfully sued the state, which compelled authorities to allow the concert.[401] During this time, schools in Florida
threatened to expel students who attended the bands
concerts.[34]
On June 30, 2003, the mutilated body of fourteen-year
old schoolgirl Jodi Jones was discovered in woodland near
her home in Easthouses, Scotland.[405] The injuries sustained by Jones closely resembled those of actress Elizabeth Short, who was murdered in 1947 and was popularly
referred to by media as the Black Dahlia.[406][407] Jones
boyfriend, then-fteen year old Luke Mitchell, was arrested on suspicion of her murder ten months later.[408]
During a search of his home, detectives conscated a
copy of The Golden Age of Grotesque containing the
short lm Doppelherz.[409] It was purchased two days
after Jones death.[410] A ten-minute excerpt from the
lm, as well as several paintings by Manson depicting
the Black Dahlias mutilated body, were presented as evidence during the trail.[409][411][412] Although Mitchells
defense attorney argued that Jones injuries were inconsistent with those found in Mansons paintings,[413] Lord
Nimmo Smith said during sentencing that he did not
feel able to ignore the fact that there was a degree of
resemblance between the injuries inicted on Jodi and
The bands scheduled appearance at the Park Live Festival in Moscow on June 27, 2014 was canceled moments before they were due to arrive on stage,[416] after
authorities received numerous bomb threats, while hundreds of activists aliated with the Russian Orthodox
Church protested outside the venue.[417] The incident culminated in the assault of several members of the band
and crew near their hotel.[418] Two days later, a performance in Novosibirsk was also canceled when authorities refused to grant permission for the show to go ahead,
accusing Manson of insulting the beliefs of the Orthodox church and of promoting sadomasochism".[419][420]
Later that year, Manson garnered signicant media attention when a video depicting the simulated rape of
Lana Del Rey was posted onto YouTube by production company Sturmgruppe.[421] The video, titled Sturmgruppe 2013 Reel, showed simulated footage of lm
director Eli Roth attacking Del Rey, which was interspersed by unrelated images from two of the bands previous music videos No Reection and Slo-MoTion.[422][423][424] Mansons representatives released a
statement to Billboard denying any involvement in the
production of the rape scenes.[425]
School shootings
Columbine massacre Main article: Columbine High
School massacre
I couldn't care less about those kids reasoning. What
reason do we have to go to war? Its all the same. Killing
somebody can't be justied by having a reason. I think
it says a lot about the [news] media that those two kids
were on the cover of Time magazine twice because I'm
sure thats everything they wanted. They wanted fame.
America sold them the idea that an obituary is just another headline.
Marilyn Manson on the Columbine massacre.[426]
On April 20, 1999, Columbine High School students Eric
Harris and Dylan Klebold killed twelve students and a
teacher, and wounded twenty-one others before committing suicide. It remains the deadliest high school shooting in US history.[427] In the days following the massacre,
media reports surfaced alleging that they were inuenced
by violence in entertainment, specically movies, video
games and music.[428] The pair were widely reported as
being fans of German bands KMFDM and Rammstein,
but the majority of blame was directed at Marilyn Manson.[70][429]
Five days after the incident, William Bennett and Joseph
1.1. MARILYN MANSON

Lieberman cited the band as a contributing factor to the
massacre during an appearance on Meet the Press.[430]
Soon after, sensationalist headlines such as Killers Worshipped Rock Freak Manson and Devil-Worshipping
Maniac Told Kids To Kill began appearing in mainstream media.[63][431] The Mayor of Denver, Wellington
Webb, successfully petitioned promoters to cancel KBPIFM's annual 'Birthday Bash', at which the band was
scheduled to appear.[432] Coloradoan politicians such
as Governor Bill Owens and Republican Representative
Tom Tancredo accused Manson of promoting hate, violence, death, suicide, drug use and the attitudes and
actions of the Columbine High School killers,[77] despite later reports that neither Harris or Klebold were
fans.[433][434] The band canceled the remaining four dates
of the Rock Is Dead Tour out of respect for the victims,
while steadfastly maintaining that music, movies, books
or video games were not to blame.[59][60]
Eleven days after the massacre, Manson wrote an op-ed
piece for Rolling Stone, titled "Columbine: Whose Fault
Is It?", where he rebuked the ensuing hysteria and witch
hunt, and castigated Americas gun culture, the power
of the National Rie Association, and the medias culpability in placing blame on a scapegoat, through their irresponsible coverage, to avoid examining genuine societal
issues.[435][436]

Berkowitz has been credited with bass guitar and drum

was injured, and later replaced Gacy on keyboards.

Notes
[1] Remix & Repent originally peaked at No. 163 on the

UK Singles Chart as an import. When it was ocially
released as a single, it was deemed ineligible to enter the
UK Singles Chart by the Ocial Charts Company, as it
exceeded the maximum track length for a release to be
considered a single; it did, however, peak at number one
on the UK Budget Albums Chart.[42]
[2] The Dope Show did not enter the Billboard Hot 100,
but peaked at number 22 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100

Members
2.1 List of Marilyn Manson band
members
Throughout the bands history, Marilyn Manson has only
had one consistent member, being Marilyn Manson himself. This is a timeline of all of the band members since
their formation in 1989. Most, if not all, members of
the band have contributed performances (either live or instudio) on instruments other than their primary ones. For
instance, Gacy has played theremin and calliope, Manson
has played pan ute, harpsichord Keyboards, and guitar,
and Berkowitz has been credited with bass guitar and
drum machines. Keyboardists Madonna Wayne Gacy and
Chris Vrenna have also performed additional percussion
on-stage, and current touring keyboardist Spencer Rollins
plays additional guitar live. Further details on these contributions can be found in the individual members articles, and in the articles on the bands albums.
2.1.1
Timeline
2.1.2
Line-up history
He is best known for his bands records released in the

1990s, most notably Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical
Animals, which, along with his public image, earned him
a reputation in the mainstream media as a controversial gure and an allegedly negative inuence on young
people.[5][6] In the U.S. alone, three of the bands albums have been awarded platinum and three more went
gold, and the band has had eight releases debut in the top
ten, including two number-one albums. Manson has been
ranked number 44 in the Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists
by Hit Parader, and has been nominated for four Grammy
Awards.
Manson made his lm debut in 1997, as an actor in David
Lynch's Lost Highway. Since then he has appeared in a
variety of minor roles and cameos. He was interviewed
in Michael Moore's political documentary Bowling for
Columbine, discussing possible motivations for the 1999
Columbine massacre and allegations that his music was
somehow a factor. On September 1314, 2002, his rst
art show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the
Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions center. Manson

image as the lead singer of the band Marilyn Manson,
which he co-founded with Daisy Berkowitz and of which
he remains the only constant member. His stage name
was formed by juxtaposing the names of two opposing American pop cultural icons; actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson, responsible for the
murders of actress Sharon Tate and several others in the
late 1960s.[4]
As a child, he attended his mothers Episcopal church,

though his father was a Catholic.[12][13] Warner attended
Heritage Christian School from rst grade to tenth grade.
In that school, they 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 do.[14] He later
transferred to GlenOak High School and graduated from
there in 1987. After relocating with his parents, he be-

Music
Main article: Marilyn Manson (band)
Film and television
Manson and guitarist Scott Putesky formed Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids following conversations at the Reunion Room in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1989.[15] The
name was later shortened to Marilyn Manson. While with
The Spooky Kids, Manson was involved 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 O
Jill) as a way to combat contractual agreements that prohibited Marilyn Manson from playing in certain clubs.
In 1993, the band drew the attention of Trent Reznor.
Reznor produced their 1994 debut album, Portrait of an
American Family and released it on his Nothing Records
label. The band began to develop a cult following, which
grew larger on the Downward Spiral Tour that featured
Nine Inch Nails and Jim Rose Circus along with the release of Smells Like Children in 1995. That EP yielded the
bands rst big MTV hit with "Sweet Dreams (Are Made
of This), a cover of the 1983 Eurythmics hit. Antichrist
Superstar (co-produced by Trent Reznor) was an even
greater success.[16]
In the U.S. alone, three of the bands albums have been
awarded two platinum and three more went gold, and the
band has had seven releases debut in the top ten, including two number-one albums. Manson rst worked as a
producer with the band Jack O Jill. He helped name
the band and produced most of the bands early recordings, and also played guitar on the song My Cat and had
the band open most of his South Florida shows.[17] Manson later wrote the liner notes to the bands album Humid
Teenage Mediocrity 19921996, a collection of early Jack
O Jill recordings. Manson has appeared as a guest performer on DMX's album Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My
Blood[18] and on Godhead's 2000 Years of Human Error album the only album released on his vanity label
Posthuman.[19][20] In 2011 it was revealed that Manson
was to appear on the singer Skylar Grey's album Invinsible
on the track entitled Can't Haunt Me. Manson released
At the 2006 Festival de Cannes
Manson made his lm debut in 1997, as an actor in

David Lynchs Lost Highway. Since then he has appeared in a variety of minor roles and cameos, including Party Monster; then-girlfriend Rose McGowan's 1999
lm Jawbreaker; Asia Argento's 2004 lm The Heart Is
Deceitful Above All Things; Rise; The Hire: Beat The
Devil, the sixth installment in the BMW lms series;
and Showtime's comedy-drama TV series Californication
in 2013, in which Manson portrayed himself. He also
appeared on HBOs Eastbound & Down,[23] of which

date of mid-2007. The lm was to have an original
music soundtrack with previously unreleased songs.[27]
Production of the lm had been postponed indenitely
until after the Eat Me, Drink Me tour.[28] 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 lm was later ocially put
on indenite production hold.[29] However, according
to an interview with co-writer Anthony Silva about the
hold, the lm was still on and the talk of it being shut
down was just a myth.[30] In a June 2013 interview,
Manson stated that he had resurrected the project,
and that Roger Avary would direct it.[31] 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 lm the movie on an
iPhone than not lm it at all.
Manson appeared in the nal season of the TV series Sons
of Anarchy portraying Ron Tully, a white supremacist.[32]
In January 2016, it was announced that Manson would be
joining the cast for season 3 of WGNs Salem. Manson
will play Thomas Dinley, the go-to man in Salem, from
a shave and a haircut to being leeched, bled, sliced open

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 shows unocial 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 lmmaking I just don't think the world is worth
putting music into right now. I no longer want to make

are turning into a product. I just want to make art.
Johnny Depp reportedly used Manson as his inspiration for his performance as Willy Wonka in the lm
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Manson himself expressed interest in playing the role of Willy Wonka in the
lm.[25][26]
Art
Manson stated in a 2004 interview with i-D magazine to
have begun his career as a watercolor painter in 1999
when he made ve-minute concept pieces and sold them
to drug dealers. On September 1314, 2002, his rst
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 ne art context, writing that the value was in their celebrity, not the
work.[34] On September 1415, 2004, Manson held a
second exhibition on the rst 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

was having an extramarital aair with then 19-year-old
actress Evan Rachel Wood, who was featured in the video
for his 2007 single, "Heart-Shaped Glasses.[45][46] The
relationship was conrmed by Von Teese in an interview
with the Sunday Telegraph: I wasn't supportive about his
partying or his relationship with another girl, and as much
as I loved him I wasn't going to be part of that.[47] Mansons alcohol abuse and distant behavior were also cited
as cause for the split.[48] A judgment of divorce was entered in Los Angeles Superior Court on December 27,
2007.[49]
During the Mechanical Animals Tour.
In 2007, attention was brought to Mansons love life again

when a relationship with Evan Rachel Wood was made
public.[50] Manson and Wood reportedly maintained an
on-again o-again relationship for several years. Manson
proposed to Wood during a Paris stage performance in
January 2010, but the couple broke o the engagement
later that year.[51]
2.2. MARILYN MANSON

In the March 2012 issue of Revolver magazine, American photographer Lindsay Usich was referred to as Mansons girlfriend. The article referenced a new painting
by Manson featuring Usich. She is credited as the photo
source for the cover art of Mansons 2012 album, Born
Villain. It was later conrmed that the two were romantically involved.[52][53] In February 2015, Manson told Beat
magazine that he is newly single.[54]
Religious beliefs
Manson is a self-identied LaVeyan Satanist[55][56] and an
honorary priest in the Church of Satan.[57] He has been
descibed as the highest prole Satanist ever with strong
anti-Christianity views and social Darwinist leanings.[58]
2.2.4
Name
The name Marilyn Manson was formed by juxtaposing

the names of two opposing American pop cultural icons
Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson.[4] 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.[59] Manson, a cult leader, was responsible for the
murder of actress Sharon Tate, as well as several others.
He is currently serving a life sentence on murder and conspiracy charges.[60]

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.[67]
Former guitarist and founding member Scott Putesky
(aka Daisy Berkowitz) led a $15 million lawsuit in a
Fort Lauderdale court against the singer, the band and
the bands attorney (David Codikow) in January 1998 after his forcible departure from the group in the spring
of 1996. Berkowitz claimed he was cheated by the
band out of thousands of dollars in royalties, publishing rights, and performance fees. He also led an attorney malpractice suit against Codikow, alleging that
Codikow represented Warners interests more than the
bands and that he gave Warner disproportionate control over the bands name, recordings, merchandising,
and touring proceeds.[68][69] By October of that year,
the suit had been settled out of court for an undisclosed
amount.[70]
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,[71] SPIN editor Craig Marks led a $24 million lawsuit against Manson and his bodyguards for allegedly assaulting his person
and threatening to kill his family. According to Marks interview with the New York Post, the issue stemmed from
Mansons displeasure with the magazines decision to renege on a promised cover story of the band for their January 1999 cover. According to Marks, the last-minute
change was made because Mansons record wasn't performing. The Post described the editor as bruised and
battered. Manson for his part issued a statement saying,
I had a conversation with Craig Marks expressing I was
tired of Spin's immature business behavior and the series
of deals they had broken with me. I told him that I didn't
care what he prints or whether or not I'm on the cover.
I simply no longer wanted to work with him or his magazine that obviously has a lack of respect for musicians
and their fans.
Manson has mentioned on at least two occasions that

Marilyn Manson is actually a trademark, not a stage
name. 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
[sic]. Its not a stage name. Its not my legal name
... Marilyn Manson is owned by Brian Warner, my real
name.[61] Warner also mentioned this in a 2013 interview with Larry King.[62] In both interviews, Manson reports using these trademark registrations in order to secure a cease and desist order to silence media who were
wrongly blaming him for the Columbine High School
massacre after one journalist erroneously reported that
the shooters were wearing Marilyn Manson makeup and
T-Shirts. Although the reports were soon debunked, On February 19, 1999, Manson counter-sued Marks for

sued for US$75,000 in a Minneapolis federal court.[75]
The federal court jury found in Mansons favor.[76]
In a civil suit presented by Oakland County, Michigan,
Manson was charged with sexual misconduct against another security ocer, Joshua Keasler, during a concert in
Clarkston, Michigan, on July 30, 2001. Oakland County
originally led assault and battery and criminal sexual
misconduct charges,[77] but the judge reduced the latter charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.[78] Manson pleaded no contest to the reduced charges, paid a
US$4,000 ne,[79] and later settled the lawsuit under
undisclosed terms.[80]
On April 3, 2002, Maria St. John led a lawsuit in Los Performing in 2007
Angeles Superior Court accusing Manson of providing
her adult daughter, Jennifer Syme, with cocaine and in Holy Wood (2000)
structing her to drive while under the inuence.[81] After attending a party at Mansons house, Syme was given
a lift home;[82] Manson claims she was taken home by

The suit alleged Syme was returning to the party at Mansons request. The case was dismissed on May 29, 2003.
On August 2, 2007, former band member Stephen Bier

A period of drifting followed, in which Putesky attended

a local art college where he majored in advertising design.
Though his musical abilities were sidetracked, he began
to visit local metal clubs such as The Gutter and The Cell.
In 1988, after being given a small 4-track recorder by his
parents, he bought a bass guitar and drumkit to record
his music with a full ensemble. At this time, Scott also
played with a surf-rock band called The Hodads, and
later formed a band named Kinetic Ritual with Hodads
bassist Rick Waters and future Spooky Kid Fred Streithorst on drums. Another drifting period soon set in,
however, as Putesky was unsure where to take his unique
style.

creative outlet for his poetry writing. Putesky played guitar, bass and keys, programmed a Yamaha RX-8 drum
machine, and taught Warner about vocal performance,
recording and arranging. Input from both parties gave
the band its darkly psychedelic style, and as early as
January 1990, they began to record songs like Red (in
My) Head, White Knuckles, Cake and Sodomy and
Dogma on Puteskys 4-track. By March they had assembled a band with Warners Broward Community College schoolmate Brian Tutunick and Perry Pandrea. The
band played its rst show at Churchills, a club in Miami
April 28, 1990, opening for the popular local band The
Goods.
Puteskys rst instruments were the ute and the snare

drum, and in 6th grade joined the schools chorus, for
which he apparently had a talent. His early interests were
drawing, movies and Star Wars. His rst record was the
Star Wars soundtrack, and the inuence that it had on
him can be seen in much of his original artwork featuring
aliens and spaceships. In the late 1970s, when Scott was
in his preteen years and punk had given way, he found
admiration for artists such as David Bowie and Talking
Heads, inuences that are apparent in his later work. His
stage name, Daisy Berkowitz, is derived from the Daisy At this point, creative dierences between Warner and

of Israeli-born musician Michal Towber, and lending
his songwriting skills to Washington, DC, industrial-rock
band Godhead (who would later, ironically, become the
rst and only band on Marilyn Mansons record label,
Posthuman Records). He also reestablished the Rednecks
on Drugs project with friend and fellow Linda Blair contributor Rich Penny.
While being interviewed by Aaron Rne in an online radio show in 2010, Putesky spoke about his experience of
leaving the band. I was asked to leave. They only kept
one song I wrote for Antichrist Superstar and I was starting
to get pissed o. Twiggy and Pogo pretty much penned
the whole album and I resented it. So when I approached
the band on the matter, they basically said they were going in a dierent direction and they weren't sure I 'got it'.
Putesky opened up about the matter again in November
of 2014 on The SDR Show.
Eventually, Rednecks on Drugs evolved into Stuck on

Originally from Richmond, Virginia, United States, Borland grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. He initially took an
interest in becoming a drummer, but because his parents

into their household, Borland began taking guitar lessons
from a member of his parents Presbyterian church.[1]

Signicant Other saw Limp Bizkit reaching a new level
of commercial success. The album climbed to No. 1 on
the Billboard 200, selling 643,874 copies in its rst week
of release.[5] In 2000, Durst announced that the bands
third studio album would be titled Chocolate Starsh and
the Hot Dog Flavored Water. The press thought that
Durst was joking about this title.[6] The album title is intended to sound like a ctional band; the phrase Chocolate Starsh referred to Durst himself, as he had frequently been called an asshole.[6] Borland contributed the
other half of the albums title when the band was standing around at a truck stop, looking at bottles of avored
water, and Borland joked that the truck stop didn't have
hot dog or meat-avored water.[6] It debuted at number
one on the Billboard 200, selling 1.05 million copies in
its rst week,[7] and was the 18th best-selling album of
the 2000s in the US.
Borlands brother, Scott, took an interest in bass guitar,

and the two brothers began playing together.[1] Borlands
interest in hip hop music was piqued by the release of
Anthrax and Public Enemy's collaboration, a cover of
the latters song "Bring the Noise".[1] Borland moved to
Jacksonville, Florida with his parents, where he began
attending art school (Douglas Anderson School of the
Arts) due to his lack of interest in the local music scene.
There, he began practicing sculpture making and special
eects.[1] Borland continued to take guitar lessons, working with a teacher that specialized in jazz. According
to Borland, My rst teacher ingrained playing by ear so
much that when my jazz teacher gave me a sheet of music
and a tape to go with it, I would learn the tape instantly
and go in and play it, but I couldn't make myself learn the
music.[1] As his guitar skills improved, Borland began to Departure from Limp Bizkit, side projects, brief recraft guitar parts.[1] Borland felt conned by being forced turn to Limp Bizkit and Black Light Burns formation

Career
Limp Bizkit and mainstream success (19942002)

See also: Limp Bizkit and Limp Bizkit discography
Borland joined Limp Bizkit, a band formed by Fred
Durst, Sam Rivers and Rivers cousin John Otto.[2] Limp
Bizkit developed a cult following in the underground music scene, particularly at the Milk Bar, an underground
punk club in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. The band
attracted crowds by word of mouth and covering George
Michael's "Faith" and Paula Abdul's "Straight Up"; the
band also gave energetic live performances in which Borland appeared in bizarre costumes.[2] Borlands theatrical rock style was the primary attraction for many concert attendees.[2] After DJ Lethal joined the band as a
turntablist, Borland left Limp Bizkit after a disagreement
with Durst.[2] However, Borland rejoined after the band
signed with Mojo, a subsidiary of MCA Records.[2] After
a dispute with Mojo, Limp Bizkit signed with Flip, a subsidiary of Interscope Records, and recorded their debut,
Three Dollar Bill, Yall, which featured an abrasive, angry
sound that Limp Bizkit used to attract listeners to their
music.[2]
Although the album was met with minimal response,
touring consistently increased Limp Bizkits success, and
the third single from Three Dollar Bill, Yall, Faith, became a radio hit, leading to a slot on Ozzfest, a tour organized by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne.[3] In 1998, Borland
formed a side project, Big Dumb Face with his brother,
Borland as the frontman for Black Light Burns in 2009.
bum, Duke Lion Fights the Terror!!. Borland stated that

the bands music is really silly and idiotic and bizarre.
[...] Its nothing but stupid [...] just all these retarded
songs.[4] In the fall of 2001, Borland left Limp Bizkit[8]
citing creative dierences with the band,[9] and also disbanded Big Dumb Face.[10] He started a side project
called Eat the Day, with Scott Borland, but it was eventually set aside.[11] After the 'failure' of another project,
The Damning Well, in 2003,[12] Borland began writing
a solo record with its members Danny Lohner and Josh
Freese, with Josh Eustis and Jonathan Bates contributing. This record served as the precursor to Black Light
Burns. In August 2004, Borland rejoined Limp Bizkit
and recorded another album, The Unquestionable Truth
2.4. WES BORLAND

(Part 1) in 2005.[13][14] Following the release of the bands
Greatest Hitz album, the band went on hiatus after arguments broke out on MySpace between Borland and
frontman Fred Durst,[15] with Borland stating,"As of right
now, none of my future plans include Limp Bizkit.[16]
In 2005, Borland formed Black Light Burns. Borland
stated that this was now his main project, and anything
else he did, including Limp Bizkit, was a side project.[15]
Borland toured with From First To Last[15] roughly since
early 2006. He announced planned for a fall 2006 tour
that never went through due to Black Light Burns needing to nd a new record label after Borland left Geen
Records. Borland had discussed plans to write and perform on the next From First To Last album, but he left
the band when Black Light Burns busy schedule started
to pick up, leaving no room to work with From First to
Last.
Black Light Burns released its dbut album, Cruel Melody
in the spring of 2007 to critical acclaim. It featured Borland on the vocals and guitars. Allmusic writer Greg
Prato wrote, For many, Borland was the only Limp
Bizkit member who was taken seriously. As evidenced
by Cruel Melody, he is now ocially allowed to follow
whichever musical path he so desires..[17] In 2008, Borland, along with Richard Fortus and Sugizo, supported
Japanese metal band X Japan at their sold out reunion
concerts at the Tokyo Dome.[18]

In 2012, Black Light Burns began performing after their
brief hiatus and released their second studio album The
Moment You Realize You're Going to Fall and a concept
album, Lotus Island, in January 2013. In the same year,
during the Black Light Burns tour, Borland stated that he
would never do a solo project. If I would do a solo project
I would put my name on the record. But that will never
happen.[27]
Borland collaborated with Riot Games to develop Hybrid Worlds, the theme song for the League of Legends
Season 3 World Championships. Borland performed live
for the event on October 4, 2013, along with The Crystal Method.[28] He is currently working with Limp Bizkit
on their seventh studio album Stampede of the Disco Elephants.
On May 3, 2016, Borland released an unannounced solo
album named Crystal Machete.
2.4.3 Personal life

In April 1998, Wes married his long-time girlfriend
Heather McMillen, but later divorced in 2001. His second marriage was with Anna Borland in March 2009[29]
but they divorced in 2013.[30] He is currently in a relationship with Carr Callaway, lead singer of Queen
Kwong.[31][32]
On August 2008, at the ETP Conference, it was announced that Borland joined Marilyn Manson as a
guitarist.[19] In the winter of 2008, Borland helped in 2.4.4 Equipment

During the recording for Chocolate Starsh and the Hot
Dog Flavored Water, Borland switched to 6-string guitars.
The entire album was recorded using a Master Guitars
Cremona semi-hollow body guitar, which is visible in the
video for My Generation. However, Borland did not tour
with this guitar and instead used Paul Reed Smith guitars,
one of which is a Standard 24 in a Platinum Metallic nish, a Custom 24 in a Black Slate nish, and a 4-string
baritone. After the tour, they were not seen again. In
a recent Facebook photo posted by Fred Durst, Borland
is shown playing the Cremona again in 2012 for studio
purposes.
In 2005, Yamaha approached Borland about a new signature guitar, which was almost 100% designed by Borland. The model CV820WB was released that same year.
It is a semi-hollow body guitar with a large body and
new Yamaha high-output split eld humbuckers, made
exclusively for that guitar. It also comes with the new
Yamaha Quick Change nger-clamp locking tremolo system, which rids the user of having to cut the ball ends
o of the strings, which is very unusual for a locking
tremolo. This was Borlands main guitar for the recording of Black Light Burns Cruel Melody and the touring
behind it, as well as most of the touring Limp Bizkit did
before the recording of Gold Cobra. Despite its innovative characteristics, it wasn't a popular guitar, per se, and
was discontinued in mid-2011, when Borland switched to
Jackson Guitars, more or less beginning with the recording of Gold Cobra.
Borland was endorsed by Jackson shortly before the release of Gold Cobra, and owned several Rhoads guitars,
which he used on Limp Bizkit shows. He now plays a custom white Warrior model with black bevels, and a Gun
Metal Grey Warrior, along with a white Randy Rhoads
guitar. He does not currently have a signature model with
Jackson. Additionally, Borland also uses a Fender Bass
VI, tuned to one octave below E standard tuning. He uses
this on The Story on The Unquestionable Truth (Part
1), and again on 90.2.10, Walking Away, and Back
Porch on the Gold Cobra record.
CHAPTER 2. MEMBERS
seven-string, as Limp Bizkit and the Deftones had toured
together in the mid 90s.
Borland uses Ernie Ball .011-.052 gauge nickel-wound
strings, where the G string is wound. For Limp Bizkits
rst three albums, Borland used Mesa-Boogie Dual and
Triple Rectier amps. In 2000, Borland would use the
Mesa Boogie heads in conjunction with a Diezel VH4. In
the Mid 2000s, on the recording of Cruel Melody and The
Unquestionable Truth (Part 1), Borlands main amp was
the Diezel VH4. Starting with the 2008 recording of The
Moment You Realize You're Going to Fall Borland played
mainly Orange Amps (specically the Thunderverb 100
models) since touring in support of Cruel Melody began
and has continued to use them since then, also on Gold
Cobra. Currently, Borland plays EVH Amps and cabinets for his heavier tones. The mainstay of Borlands amp
setup has been a Roland JC-120 combo amplier to generate his particularly exceptional clean tones.
2.4.5 Style
Borlands guitar playing is experimental and nontraditional, and he is noted for his creative use of six and
seven-string guitars.[33] Three Dollar Bill, Yall features
him playing without a guitar pick, performing with two
hands, one playing melodic notes, and the other playing chord progressions.[2] The song Stuck uses a sustain pedal in the rst bar, and muted ris in the second
bar.[34] His guitar playing has made use of octave shapes,
and choppy, eighth-note rhythms, sometimes accompanied by muting his strings with his left hand, creating a
percussive sound.[34] Borland has also made use of unevenly accented syncopated sixteenth notes to create a
disorienting eect, and hypnotic, droning licks.[34] Borland uses a locking tremolo system quite extensively to
dive bomb notes in the middle of guitar parts, as heard
in songs like Limp Bizkits Hot Dog and Get a Life.
He said that he got the idea to dive notes down an octave
then have them come back up from trombone players.
Other guitars Borland has been seen with before are a

1976 Fender Starcaster a stock ESP LTD V-401DX (used
on the Limp Bizkit reunion tour for playing songs on Results May Vary) and Mayones Regius Pro 6, Legend and
Setius GTM 6 Baritone guitars.
Borland tunes his guitars to C# standard tuning (C# F#
B E G# C#) and to Drop B tuning (B F# B E G# C#).
He also tunes his 4-string baritone guitars to a variant of
this tuning with a low F# string, which is a bass string
(F# F# B E). During the late 1990s when Borland played
7-string guitars, he played them like one would play a 6string guitar by tuning the highest string to C# as well,
while maintaining standard C# tuning all the way to the
seventh string. This technique was later used by Stephen
Carpenter of Deftones so he could play the songs he originally recorded on a six-string without losing the feel of a
Wes Borland is known for his visual performance style, and often
performs wearing costumes or body paint.
Borlands playing is still identiable in Black Light Burns,

are considered by the full band more.
Borland writes songs by forming them in rough outlines
and lling in the details later. According to Borland, I'm
good at creating ideas while using a guitar in a new way,
but it takes me a long time. I can't just come up with
stu fast and rip it up. I think about constructing songs,
and even ris, in the same way as a painting, putting on
a little bit at a time. They're sketchy at rst, and then I
know what I want, and I t notes into places.[1]
The Crystal Method - Legion of Boom (2004)
Borland is also known for performing in costumes and

body paint during concerts, appearing in bunny and kung
fu suits,[2] and painted as a skeleton and what he describes
as a burnt match. Describing the character, he stated,
I go onstage wearing almost nothing. I have underwear
and my boots on, and I paint my whole head blackfrom
the neck upand I have the black contacts. All you can
see is these glowing teeth.[2][33] Borlands black contacts
were customized for him by a company noted for making
contacts for the science ction TV series Babylon 5.[33]

2.6 Olivia Newton Bundy

Brian Tutunick (born March 31, 1968) is an American musician, more famously known as Olivia Newton
Bundy, and was the bassist and co-founder of the rock
group Marilyn Manson until 1990, when he was replaced
by Gidget Gein. His stage name was created by mixing the names of Olivia Newton-John, singer; and Ted
Bundy, serial killer.[1]
In 1993 Brians new band Collapsing Lungs (also known
as L.U.N.G.S.) was signed to Atlantic Records.
In 1996 Brian along with notable DJ Grynch created a
new band, Nation of Fear. They released the song Immortal on a compilation CD for the (now defunct) rock
station 94.9 WZTA. Later that year Nation of Fear would
release their well-received self-titled album on DiMar
Records. They would go on tour with Genitorturers and

Career
Stewart joined the band, Marilyn Manson & the Spooky

Kids, in 1990.[2] The band eventually gained the attention
of Trent Reznor who signed them to his label Nothing
Records.[3] As the band became more famous after dropping the Spooky Kids title in 1992, Geins personality
was becoming more chaotic through extensive drug use
and other various acts of debauchery. In October 1993,
Reznor agreed to rework the production on Marilyn Mansons album, taking them and their tapes to The Record
Plant in Los Angeles. On Christmas Eve of 1993, Gein
was hospitalized after overdosing on heroin. While still
hospitalized, he received a message from Marilyn Mansons lawyer via FedEx that he was red due to his drug
use.[2] Gein was replaced by Jeordie White, known as
Twiggy Ramirez.[4]
2.9.4 Aftermath
On December 8, 2008, a memorial benet for Gein was
held at the Dragony in Los Angeles. It featured Geins
art and an array of friends and fans performing in his
honor. The guest list included Ego Plum, Kim Fowley, ex
Courtney Love guitarist Lisa Leveridge, Jessicka, Allen
Wrench, Lenora Claire, Courtney Cruz, Ramzi Abed,
Brian Clark (co-founder of the UnPop art movement to
which Gein belonged), Bill Shafer of Hyaena Gallery (his
art representative), Damian Crowley, Giddle Partridge,
Hollie Stevens, and drag queens Squeaky Blonde and
Fade-Dra.[5] Funds raised from the gathering were used
to purchase a memorial plaque in Geins honor that was
placed at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Geins mother

A commemorative tribute was lmed on October 9, 2010

2.12 John 5
John William Lowery (born July 31, 1971), best known
by the stage name John 5, is an American guitarist. His
stage name was bestowed on him in 1998 when he left
David Lee Roth and joined the industrial metal group
Marilyn Manson as their guitarist, taking over from Zim
Zum. Still going by the name John 5, Lowery has since
become the guitarist for Rob Zombie.
He is also a solo artist having recorded seven guitar
albums: Vertigo (2004), Songs for Sanity (2005), The
Devil Knows My Name (2007), Requiem (2008), The
Art of Malice (2010) and God Told Me To (2012),
Careful With That Axe (2014), as well as a remix album,
Remixploitation (2009). He also works as a sta writer
for Chrysalis Records, working with artists such as Matt
Ball, Avril Lavigne, Rob Halford, k.d. lang, Garbage,
Meat Loaf, Scorpions, Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, FeFe Dobson and has written and recorded with southern rock band
Lynyrd Skynyrd.
2.12.1 Early life

Lowery was born in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. He rst
started playing guitar at the age of seven after watching
Buck Owens and Roy Clark's television show Hee Haw
with his dad. His parents supported his playing as long
as it did not interfere with his education. They also accompanied him at the adult bars he would play during the
evening.[1][2]
His early musical inuences came from The Monkees,
Kiss, guitarists Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Jimi
Hendrix, Yngwie Malmsteen and country music.[2]
56
2.12.2
CHAPTER 2. MEMBERS
Music career
Early career 198795

Lowery started his career as a session guitarist having
moved to Los Angeles from Michigan at age 17. His
rst band in L.A. was Alligator Soup, which led to an important meeting with Rudy Sarzo from Whitesnake who
recruited Lowery for his band Sun King giving him his
rst real bit of exposure. This also saw him meeting producer Bob Marlette, who has worked with, among others,
Tracy Chapman, Alice Cooper, Rob Halford and Black
Sabbath.
Lowery began working on numerous projects with Marlette including television show soundtracks, movie soundtracks including Speed 2: Cruise Control, and commercials and infomercials. This in turn saw Lowery being
picked to play with Lita Ford, opening up for Kiss. He
started another long time friendship with the various Kiss
members, including a close friendship with Paul Stanley,
which in 2006 he honored by guesting on Stanleys Live
to Win album.
Lowerys next role saw him working with Randy Castillo,
in the short-lived projects Bone Angels and Red Square
Black, who issued the Square EP via Zoo/BMG. The
band disbanded when Lowery was picked from 2000 guitarists to play with k.d. lang on tour.
Arguably, Lowerys rst truly big break came when he

was selected by former Van Halen frontman David Lee
Roth to play lead guitar on the critically well-received[4][5]
1998 release DLR Band. As had occurred, historically,
when Roth chose a new lead guitarist - in light of Roths
lead guitar lineage: from Eddie Van Halen to Steve Vai to
Jason Becker to Steve Hunter and others - Lowery quickly
gained public recognition for his virtuosic abilities, as well
for the heart in his playing.
Regarding how he came to meet Roth, in Guitarist Magazine, Lowery relates that, when I was little, my dream
was to play with David Lee Roth. One day I was sitting
at my friends house and... I wonder[ed] what... Roth is
doing now. [In 1997, Roth had just been let go from Van
Halen for a second time in favor of Gary Cherone, and
also penned a tongue-in-cheek memoir.]. I'm gonna call
up his manager and see if he needs any songs.[6]
Lowery submitted six tracks that he had written to Roths
management. Having been a longtime fan of David Lee
Roths work, both in Van Halen and as a solo artist,
Lowery believed that he knew exactly what Roth would
like. On hearing Lowerys songs, Roth was very impressed, and subsequently asked for Lowery to submit
several more songs. At the time, Roth was choosing between Lowery and Mike Hartman as to who would play
lead guitar. (Lowery would also play bass on the album
under the moniker, B'urbon Bob.) Tragically, Hartman
would die a short time later.
Impressed by Lowerys prodigious skill, Roth scheduled

a meeting and then scheduled a recording session that
lasted two weeks and resulted in the fourteen track DLR

signed on for the Mechanical Animals tour and to work
on the next album. His rst live performance for Marilyn
Manson came on the MTV Video Music Awards.
During the opening bars of the "The Beautiful People"
at the 2003 Rock Am Ring festival Manson was moving
across the stage when he hit Lowerys guitar and chest
with his boot. Lowery was outraged and threw his guitar
while screaming at Manson, which led to much speculation. According to Lowery, the Grotesk Burlesk tour had
been a high-pressure endeavour, and just weeks before he
had suered losses of very close family members. Lowery later commented on his behavior, calling it unprofessional and stating that there was no bad blood between
Manson and him.
During this time period, Lowery also worked on a band
called Plague with Jason Lowetz as the frontman. The
album was produced with Bob Marlette but never made
it out of the studio. Lowetz was considered for the job as
frontman for Velvet Revolver before Scott Weiland took
it on.
In 2004, Lowery and Manson parted company. Confusion was rife as certain press reported that he had been
dumped unceremoniously from the band, but in reality
the two came to a mutual agreement that they wanted to
go their separate ways.What actually happened was, at
the end of the tour, we were just on dierent roads. It was
completely amicable. He just wanted to write with other
members of the band, and I wanted to do other things.[9]
While working with Manson, Lowery stated he does not
take drugs or drink alcohol.[10]

The band had initial success not long after signing with
Island Records, when the track Disposable Sunshine
became part of the Fantastic Four soundtrack.
During this time, during the recording of the soundtrack,
Crain briey left the band and was replaced by drummer
Elias Andra, a friend of Lees. Andra had some success
himself with the band Psycho Plague, his own creation,
an industrial metal band, which toured as a headline act,
with Linkin Park as an opening act at the time. However,
Andra soon left after promotional shots had been taken,
and Crain returned. Andra went on to become the drummer for Julien-K.
At the same time, Lowery was also working for Rob Zombie and a working conict occurred. As Zombie was also
touring, Lowery tried to nd a live replacement for him
while Loser were touring on conicting dates. However,
even with promo material for the debut album out and a
release date in the bag, Island Record did not like the idea
of Loser without John and so dropped the band from the
label.
Being the founding member of Loser, my decision to
leave was not an easy one, said John 5 in a press release.
I've been juggling two careers both with Loser and Rob
Zombie for over one year now. I found it impossible to
be in two places at once.[12]
The album has been put on the backburner and no word
on a release date has ever been issued. The ocial Loser
Myspace page has tracks available for download (working
on April 11, 2012).[13]

While Lowery was working on radio rock band Loser, he
In 2005, Lowery formed the band Loser. Recruiting vocalist Joe Grah, Charles Lee on bass and Glendon Crain
on drums, they began working on their debut album Just
Like You. The band was also partly co-founded by friend
and producer Bob Marlette. Vocalist Joe Grah already
had a signicant amount of success in his home state of
Texas, with the band Jibe. Marlette recommended Grah
to Lowery and so Lowery hopped on a plane to Texas to
see the band play. Grah ew back to L.A. and was hired
on the spot.
The name Loser came about as an armation to Lowerys past: I was from Grosse Pointe, Michigan, which
is kind of an upper-class area, and I was always that rock
kid, John explained. I started playing guitar at age 7.
I always had a rock shirt on, and I had that tattoo early
on. I looked like a loser because everyone around me
was wearing Polo and Brooks Brothers. But now if you
go into a club wearing Polo, you're called a loser. So I
think everyone can relate to that name, and the album
John 5 performing with Rob Zombie at Nova Rock 2014
also began to work with cult rock artist and movie director
Rob Zombie. Meeting at the Camp Freddy benet gig,
Lowery and Zombie hit it o immediately and Rob asked
Lowery to play with him at Ozzfest 2005. I'm totally
ecstatic about having the opportunity to play with Rob on

Ozzfest! He has been one of my favorite artists for the
longest time. I had the opportunity to play with him a
few weeks back, and never thought that I would have the
chance to share the stage with him playing the Zombie
songs we all know and love!"[14]
It was reported that Zombie was looking to quit the music
industry to concentrate on his movie career until he began
to work with Lowery.
Camp Freddy asked me to do this benet, just to play one
song, at the Arrowhead Pond (in Anaheim, California)
for this tsunami relief thing. And John was there, and we
played one song, 'Thunderkiss,' and it kicked ass and hes
a supercool guy and I was like, 'this is perfect.' John said,
'Do you need a guitar player for Ozzfest?' I said, 'Yes.' He
said, 'I wanna do it,' I said, 'Perfect, done.'" -Rob Zombie
on John 5[15]
Lowery worked on Rob Zombies 2006 album Educated
Horses, co-writing eight out of eleven tracks with Zombie. When he left Loser, Lowery took up the role of Rob
Zombie guitarist as a permanent gig. Rob is the best I
have worked with. Hes great. We have a great time on
stage together. It has been the single greatest experience I
have had working with someone, hands down.[16] John is
also the guitarist on Robs latest albums, Hellbilly Deluxe
2, released February 2, 2010[17] and Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor, released April 23, 2013.
In early 2011, Lowery was joined by fellow ex-Marilyn
Manson bandmate, Ginger Fish, as a member of Rob
Zombies band. Zombie/Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison was in Europe with his band Murderdolls, leaving
Zombie without a drummer for some shows during the
American leg of their tour. Lowery asked Fish to ll in
as drummer. In April 2011, Fish was announced as the
new and permanent drummer.
In October 2011, Zombie conrmed by his Facebook [18]
account that Lowery would be scoring the soundtrack for
Rob Zombies latest movie, The Lords of Salem. This was
also conrmed on the ocial John 5 website.[19]
On April 17, 2014 Rob Zombie said in a radio interview
that he was at work on a follow up to Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor, which many assume will have John 5
recording the guitar parts, since he is a member of Rob
Zombies band

album.[20] On October 2, 2009, he played with Slash at a
tribute to the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.[21]
In a Twitter update January 6, 2010, John 5 had this to
say about the progress of his upcoming 5th studio album;
Just did all the guitar, bass for my new solo CD, Tommy
Clufetos played the drums and killed it!" [22] and a following Twitter update January 8; Did the photo shoot for the
new record today!",[23] January 18: Just had Billy sheehan play on the the [sic] song (ya dig), this record is going
to rule.[24]
In June 2011, John 5 ocially closed his MySpace
page.[25] John commented on his own website, There are
a number of reasons, mainly the decline of Myspace as
a platform to reach you, the fans. ... So today, the steps
were taken to close the account at the Myspace page.[25]
He often names his songs after famous murderers, e.g.
Edward Gein (Gein with Envy, Songs for Sanity,) Albert Fish (Werewolf of Westeria, The Devil Knows My
Name), or torture devices (see any song from Requiem).
In February 2014, while giving an interview at the Soundwave festival John 5 announced his seventh solo album
entitled Careful with That Axe, which would go on to
be released in August of that year.[26]
2.12.3 Personal Life

John 5 married pornographic actress Aria Giovanni in
2002 but they divorced in 2006.[27] He is currently married to hair stylist Rita Lowery.[28]
2.12.4 Equipment
During 2005, John 5 used Marshall ampliers and cabinets, Boss pedals, Fender Telecaster and J5 guitars, and
D'Addario strings.[29]
During his time spent as guitarist for Marilyn Manson, John 5 eventually resorted to storing some of
his eects pedals backstage in rack drawers to safeguard them against the chaos that often ensued during
performances.[30]

At age 19, Skld and Cody talked a Swedish record company into allowing them to make a record, which they
could use as a demo to reach the American market. Starting o as Shylock, their determination soon paid o in the
form of Kingpin.
Kingpin
During the early 80s, bassist Skld and guitarist Cody
formed the glam metal band Kingpin in their native
Skvde, Sweden. They were inspired by the amboyant
hard rock bands owing out of Los Angeles at the time, as
well as UK acts such as Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Zodiac
Mindwarp.
The band kicked o their career with a 7 single titled
"Shout It Out" (which hit #1 in Sweden) in 1987. They
then drafted vocalist Zinny J. Zan and drummer Stixx
Galore a short time later. Kingpin released their only

Sascha Konietzko during his time in the studio.
Shotgun Messiah
Signed by Cli Cultreri at Relativity Records, Kingpin changed their name to Shotgun Messiah (due to a
San Francisco-based band holding the rights to the name
Kingpin), remixed and re-packaged Welcome To Bop City
as a self-titled album, and released it as their international
debut in 1989.[1]
After having MTV smash hits such as Don't Care 'Bout
Nothin'" and "Shout It Out", whilst the band was in
progress of making a follow up to their debut self-titled
album, Zan was let go. They hired a new bassist, Bobby
Lycon, from New York City, and on Codys suggestion
Tim Tim switched to lead vocals. At this time, Tim
Tim, whose role was now frontman, went by the name
Tim Skold. They released Second Coming in 1991, which
was enthusiastically received by the media, and was their
most successful album to date. Two singles were released
from that album, Heartbreak Blvd. and Living Without You.
Around 2002, Skld recorded a follow up to his 1996

self-titled album. These songs have never been ocially
released. Skld stated in an interview with The Sychophant that he had made a demo with 10 copies ever made.
The demo had 10 songs on it. Six of the 10 were released on le sharing networks without Sklds permission: Burn, Dead God, I Hate, Believe, The
Point, and Don't Pray. The demo is known as the Dead
God EP, although Skld says that it was called Disrupting
the Orderly Routine of the Institution. The original artwork was made with an inkjet printer and was the title
written in drippy letters. This demo was given to several
friends that Skld considered trustworthy, but his songs
appeared on the internet from one of them. Skld said
that someone suggested to me that I should go back to
them and nish it o and release it. And maybe I will one
day, who knows?"[2]
On November 3, 2009, I Will Not Forget, A Dark
Star, and Bullets Ricochet were released on iTunes
and Amazon as new Skold singles. Also that November, Sklds ocial website announced that he was to release his second solo album in early 2010.[3] However, the
album remained unreleased in 2010. In January 2011,
Metropolis Records announced that they were releasing
the new record and single in spring of 2011.[4] On May
10, 2011, Skld released Anomie.[5]
Shortly after, the band followed up with an E.P. entitled

I Want More, which contained some punk covers along
with re-recorded songs from their previous album I Want
More, Babylon and an acoustic version of Nobodys
Home. Soon after this release, Shotgun Messiah were

of the tracks on the bands epic 1998 release Mechanical
Animals. In July 1998, Zim Zum left Marilyn Manson. He explained that his departure was the result of his
desire to expand on my own music rather than spending the next 18 months on a tour bus or plane and described the split as amicable, despite later animosity
with the frontman.[1] An interview in Guitar World with
Zim stated that being in Marilyn Manson had opened new
doors and new opportunities in music. Linton left/was

Studio albums
3.1 ''Portrait of an American Family''
Portrait of an American Family is the debut full-length
studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It
was released on July 19, 1994 in the US through Nothing
and Interscope Records. It was produced by Trent Reznor
of Nine Inch Nails. The album was initially known as The
Manson Family Album a direct reference to serial killer
Charles Manson's own band but was retitled prior to
release.
It is the only Marilyn Manson studio album to feature
bassist Gidget Gein. Gein was red from the band after its production following a very public and destructive
heroin addiction and Twiggy Ramirez, the bands roadie
and friend of Gein and Manson, was put as a temporary
replacement while Gein got clean and sober. He eventually took over Geins place and briey adopted his image. Contrary to popular belief, Ramirez did not play
bass on the album. Though Sara Lee Lucas was the featured drummer on the album, Nine Inch Nails live keyboardist Charlie Clouser used a drum machine to replace
the work Lucas did. Daisy Berkowitz helped compose
music for all of the songs except Prelude (The Family
Trip)" and Sweet Tooth.
Recording sessions for its national debut, Portrait of an

American Family, began in July 1993. Working with
producer Roli Mosimann at Criteria Studios in Miami,
Florida,[4] the band recorded a selection of new songs
along with reworked material from their Spooky Kids
repertoire and, by the end of Autumn 1993, had completed the rst version of their debut, a full albums worth
of material collectively known as The Manson Family Album.[5] At the time, Snake Eyes and Sissies was on
track to be the bands rst single, with a single edit having already been made. However the band was simply not
satised with the output of these recording sessions and
shelved the album for a short time.[6]
Within a few months, the band convinced rising star Trent

Reznor to produce the album instead.[7] The abrasive
sonic rawness that Mosimanns production had brought
to such groups as Swans had failed to materialize on The
Manson Family Album; Reznor and all the bands members thought it sucked, and was poorly representative
of Marilyn Mansons dynamic live performances.[4][8] In
October 1993, Reznor agreed to fully commit to the
project, taking them and their tapes to various studios
in Los Angeles. With the help of Reznor and numerous live members of his band, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn
Manson re-recorded and reworked their old material until they were satised and released it under the name Por[9]

3.1. ''PORTRAIT OF AN AMERICAN FAMILY''

Well, the whole point of [Portrait of an
American Family] was that I wanted to say a
lot of the things I've said in interviews [...] But
I wanted to address the hypocrisy of talk show
America, how morals are worn as a badge to
make you look good and how its so much easier to talk about your beliefs than to live up
to them. I was very much wrapped up in the
concept that as kids growing up, a lot of the
things that we're presented with have deeper
meanings than our parents would like us to see,
like Willy Wonka and the Brothers Grimm. So
what I was trying to point out was that when our
parents hide the truth from us, its more damaging than if they were to expose us to things
like Marilyn Manson in the rst place.[10]
3.1.3
Music
Songs
Cake and Sodomy is the second track on the album. In
1990, Manson met a woman at a McDonalds restaurant
in Fort Lauderdale who invited him to spend a weekend
with her in New York City. Upon discovering that the
girl was using her sisters ID because she was too young
to work, Manson abandoned her, shortly after which he
ran into two clubbers from South Florida. Manson spent
the remainder of his stay in New York at the clubbers
hotel room, where he stumbled on Public-access television cable television channels, which were a completely
new phenomenon to him. Manson spent hours ipping
through the station, watching Pat Robertson preach about
societys evils and then ask people to call him with their
credit card number, while on the other channel, a guy
was greasing up his cock with Vaseline and asking people to call and give him their credit card number. This
inspired Manson to grab the hotel notepad and begin penning the songs lyrics. Manson explains in his autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell that I had written
other songs I thought were good, but Cake and Sodomy
was more than just a good song. As an anthem for the
hypocritical America slobbering on the tit of Christianity,
it was a blueprint for our future message.[11]
Lunchbox is the second single and the third track of
the album. It was inspired by a piece of legislation dating back to 1972, which makes it illegal to have metal
lunchboxes in schools. The song tells the story of a school
age child who is bullied and uses his own lunchbox as a
weapon in retaliation, waiting for the day he can grow
up to be a big rock and roll star who is never intimidated
by others. The earliest recording of this song dates back
to the bands After School Special cassette tape, released
in December 1991. The album version of Lunchbox
samples The Crazy World of Arthur Brown song Fire.
73
back to the bands The Family Jams cassette, released
in 1992. Whilst the bands keyboardist Madonna Wayne
Gacy was given a music credit for the song on Portrait of
an American Family, curiously his name is absent from
the credits of The Family Jams and Refrigerator, two cassettes a demo of Dope Hat had appeared on beforehand. The singles release was accompanied by a music
video which featured Manson in the role of Willy Wonka
in a shock-horror version of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate
Factory.
"Get Your Gunn" is the rst single and the seventh track
of the album. The song was inspired by the abortion
provider David Gunn who was killed in Florida by a
self-proclaimed pro-life activist. The frontman later described his murder as the ultimate hypocrisy I witnessed
growing up: that these people killed someone in the name
of being 'pro-life'".[12]
Wrapped in Plastic is the eighth track on the album.
The earliest recording of this song dates back to the
bands Refrigerator cassette tape, released in 1993. It
recycles lyrics from an earlier Spooky Kids song, I.V.T.V.. The frontman has stated that Wrapped in Plastic
is about his past at his grandfathers basement. The version on The Family Jams cassette gives the listener better
detail of this fact.
Sweet Tooth is the tenth song on the album, and the
only song that former bassist Gidget Gein wrote both guitar and bass parts for. However, of all the album tracks,
Sweet Tooth was the only one not regularly played live.
Snake Eyes and Sissies is the eleventh track on the album. Though Snake Eyes and Sissies was once considered important enough to be a potential single, it was
never given a proper release and has not been played
by the band since the Smells Like Children Tour in
1995/1996.
My Monkey is the twelfth track on the album. Several
verses were taken from Mechanical Man written and
performed by Charles Manson in 1968; the lyrics of My
Monkey are credited simply to Manson. The earliest
recording of this song dates back to the bands The Beaver
Meat Cleaver Beat cassette tape, released in 1990.
Misery Machine is the thirteenth and nal track on the
album, and is a direct reference to the Mystery Machine
from the animated television series Scooby-Doo. Imagery
from the cartoon was prevalent in the early years of the
band, having been used in various yers among other similar cartoon characters.
Samples
One strange thing that happened was we were mixing the

song Wrapped in Plastic. [...] We were using a computer because we had a lot of samples and sequencing.
"Dope Hat" is the third and nal single and the sixth track While we were working on that song the Charles Manson
of the album. The earliest recording of this song dates samples from My Monkey started appearing in the mix.

CHAPTER 3. STUDIO ALBUMS
All of a sudden we'd hear in the song, 'Why does a child

reach up and kill his mom and dad?' And we couldn't gure what was going on. The chorus of Wrapped in Plastic is, 'Come into our home/Won't you stay?' And we're
in the Sharon Tate house, just me and Sean Beavan [the
records assistant producer]. We totally got scared and
we're like, 'We are done for the night.' We came back the
next day and it was ne. The Charles Manson samples
weren't even on the tape anymore. Theres no real logical
or technological explanation for why they appeared. It
was a truly supernatural moment that freaked me out.[9]

Portrait of an American Family contains an especially
wide array of cultural references:
The poem recited in Prelude (The Family Trip)"
comes from Roald Dahl's book Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory. Also, the printing of the Marilyn Manson logo on various promotional items during this time, the opening titles of the "Dope Hat"
music video, and the remix album Smells Like Children resemble the printing of the title to the 1971
lm version of the novel.

The phrase We're gonna ride to the Abbey of
Thelema in the song Misery Machine is a reference to Aleister Crowley's Abbey of Thelema,
which was used as the Headquarters from which the
doctrines of Thelema would be spread throughout
the world. The song also contains a sample from
"Beep Beep" by The Playmates. A few seconds after the track, the sample, Go home to your mother!

her! Tell your mother I hate you!" is spoken by
Stole from the Waters lm Desperate Living. After
this, a telephone can be heard ringing very quietly
for several minutes, which is then followed by an

a mother of a Manson fan.

Manson grew as the tour wore on and, on the next-tolast night of the tour, Manson secretly decided to end the
show with a ourish: during a performance of the thencurrent single, "Lunchbox", he doused Lucas drum kit in
lighter uid and set it ablaze with Lucas still attempting to play on behind it. (Manson apparently forgot that
the band had one more date to play.) Lucas quit the band
after the nal gig the next night.[13] Less than two weeks

Antichrist Superstar has elaborate packaging, consisting

of a black cardstock sleeve covering the plastic jewel
case with graphics of Manson on both the front and back,
the latter of which is anked by the red Superstar Shock
logo and the Roman numerals IX, VI, III and VII. The
booklet contains pictures of the band, a visual worm-toangel metamorphosis, medical diagrams, printed lyrics to
each song, and liner notes including traditional thanks and
credits as well as a curious entry found under the lyrics
to the song Irresponsible Hate Anthem, stating it was
recorded live on February 14, 1997, despite the album
being released well before that in October 1996.
Antichrist Superstar is the second full-length studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. Released
on October 8, 1996 in the US through Nothing and
Interscope Records, the album debuted at No. 3 on the
Billboard 200 which launched the band into mainstream
success.[3] This, allied with the bands uncompromisingly
anti-Christian stance and transgressive performances, led
to picketing and numerous protests from religious and
civic groups. The album displayed a more musically cohesive and developed sound than any of their previous releases. According to Rolling Stone magazine, the albums Also, found on the front of the album cover is a

songs, and when ipped over, has those for the Alpha
songs.
Marilyn Manson later noted in an interview with Rolling

Stone magazine that "Mechanical Animals was to represent the point where the revolution got sold out, a hollow
shell of what the essence of Marilyn Manson was. It was a
satire, and a lot of people interpreted it as 'This is what he

tichrist Superstar.[20] Furthermore, though Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals made sense as individual
concept albums on their own, there was a hidden overarching story running through the three releases.
3.3.3 Composition
The album is like feeling for the rst time, Manson said.

Promotion
Five days before the albums release, the band performed The Dope Show at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.[23] The Ziggy-in-Vegas performance saw
Manson strut into the stage in a blue vinyl coat with a
faux-fur collar before stripping down, mid-way into the
song, to a blue skin-tight costume with cut-outs that revealed the prosthetic breasts and androgynous genitalia of
his Omga character.[24] The performance also included
a trio of besequined back-up singers that harmonized
with the frontman as he sang along.[24] Rolling Stone remarked that incontrovertibly, Marilyn Manson stole the
show.[24]
3.3.5
Release
At a time before the ubiquity of peer-to-peer le sharing, the rst singles from both Beinhorn-produced albums
were leaked three weeks before their intended release
dates and played nearly a dozen times on New York radio station WXRK (92.3 FM) and its Los Angeles-based
sister station, KROQ-FM (106.7 FM), on the weekend
of July 31 to August 2, 1998.[25] Interscope neither conrmed nor denied that the leak originated from them but
joined Holes label, DGC Records, in issuing a cease and
desist order to WXRK on August 3.[25]
In spite of this the Manson single, The Dope Show,
was subsequently recorded and converted by a fan into
an MP3 and made available on an unocial fan site
for download soon after.[25] The following weekend, San
Francisco radio station Live 105 (105.3 FM) played both
singles again.[26]

Cover and packaging

The shock of the image was increased because it looked
like a real photograph..
The Greatest Album Covers of All Time[28]
The controversial cover art has won critical acclaim and
numerous awards.[28] The infamous photo depicts Manson as an androgynous naked gure with breasts, six ngers and airbrushed genitalia.[8] It is the brainchild of
New York City-based long-time Manson photographer
Joseph Cultice. Designer Paul Brown has said of the
cover, I'm extremely proud of it. I said more in one
of his covers than any novel could. It made people
think and cringe.[28] Contrary to popular internet rumors, the band leader, Manson, did not undergo any plastic surgery for this androgynous, alien look. The breasts
are prosthetic, manufactured specially by Screaming Mad
Georges SMG Eects (now out of business).[28] Manson is, in reality, naked and covered head to toe in latex
paint, provided by the same movie make-up company.
His genitalia are covered by a foam latex appliance to create the androgynous appearance of the alien gure he calls
Omga, which, the singer explained, represents sexlessness and vulnerability, in addition to his own aection
for prosthetic limbs.[28] Originally the make up consisted
of six breasts with nipples. Manson has stated in interviews that his friend, actor Johnny Depp, is the current
owner of these prosthetic breasts, which Manson traded
for Depps strawberry-blonde wig worn in the lm Blow.
In 2003 VH1, declared that Mechanical Animals had the
twenty-ninth greatest album cover of all time.[29] It is also
featured in Grant Scotts book The Greatest Album Covers of All Time.
Singles
Arguably, this albums most successful song is "The Dope
Show", which fared extremely well on both video and
single charts in the United States and abroad. The
Dope Show was written by Manson (lyrics) and Twiggy
Ramirez (music). It continues to reign as the bands
most commercially successful song. The music video debuted the bands controversial new, androgynous glam
rock sound and image to the world. It is inspired by
Alejandro Jodorowsky's controversial art lm The Holy
Mountain as well as the David Bowie lm, The Man Who
Fell to Earth. Again, Bowies inuence has been enormous on this album, with both inuences noted publicly
by Manson himself.
The third single, "Rock Is Dead", was featured in the Alternate cover for the ctitious band Omga and the Mechanical
accompanying soundtrack of the lm The Matrixthe Animals
84
The cover art text is an anagram which, when rearranged,
reads 'Marilyn Manson Is An Alchemical Man'.[30] The
album also features an alternate, less obscene cover
which is contained on the reverse side of the album liner
notes. It is incidentally the cover for an album of the same
name by Omga and the Mechanical Animals, a ctitious
band composed of characters played by the members of
Marilyn Manson. The photo featured on this alternative
cover art includes more of the symbolism surrounding the
numeral 15.[31]
The liner notes contain hidden messages in yellow text,
which are viewable through the blue CD packaging or the
transparent blue LP; these messages (now green) include:

Ten charts.
3.3.6 Reception
Critical reception
The album received generally positive reviews. Analyzing the albums intentions, Barry Walters of The Village
Voice commented, "Mechanical Animals celebrates sexy
celebrity in a typically Mansonian bacchanalia of contradictions. Hes said all along that dirty media dominance
is the cleanest and closest thing to divinity in a world that
crucied the god in itself and replaced it with blind faith.
Now he understands rst-hand that stardom sucks, yet
while he lifts a platform boot against its phony fat ass he
still can't help reveling in the excess. Antichrist Superstar critiqued fame in order to make him famous. Having
been there/done that, Manson wants more because more
is the American way hes hell-bent on subvertingeven
as hes soaking in it.[39] Of the records musical direction
Walters noted Flexing far more range than rage, Mansons feminization shifts his vocal power center from a
diseased gut to a broken heart.[40] You'd think the puppet

David Browne of Entertainment Weekly commented
Looking back in mascara'd anger, Manson and [producer Michael] Beinhorn have fashioned music steeped in
glam rock and concept-album bombast but updated with
a crunching intensity [...] He layers the songs with cooing backup singers, electronica burbles, skulking guitars,
and synths at their most decadently new wavy. The effect is often spectacular.[44] Lorraine Ali of Los Angeles
Times commented songs swagger with lipstick-wearing
attitude, have fun with sleazy subject matter and actually convey some (gasp) human emotion [...] This album is the rst time we actually experience Manson as
a band, not a phenomenon ltered through Reznors mixing board wizardry or a freak show accompanied by a
soundtrack. An album thats powerful from start to nish is far more surprising than any controversial Manson high jinks [...] this record ensures his further inltration of teenage America and earns him a new spot in
the annals of great, big, pompous pop albums.[45] David
Browne describes that the sound of the album is often spectacular: a lurid cabaret-rock revue for the postglobal-economy meltdown.[46] According to New Musical Express "[...] Mechanical Animals, MM album number four, marks a total shift in Mansons assault. Where
the Antichrist Superstar game plan was about gaining notoriety through outrage, rather than winning souls over
on musical grounds, Mechanical Animals aims straight
for the singalong heart of stadium-land. And rips it out,
and holds it aloft in triumph [...] Of the 14 tracks here,
ten could be singles. On this evidence alone, 'Mechanical
Animals is an unashamedly crass bid for total world domination [...] they already have the goth kids. Now, their
sights have turned on everyone else.[4] Stated on Epinions.com, "Mechanical Animals is an excellent follow-up
to the successful Antichrist Superstar.[47]
Not everyone gave the album a glowing review. Music critic Robert Christgau commented If only the absurd aura of artistic respectability surrounding this arrant self-promoter would teach us that not every icon deserves a think piece, that its no big deal to have a higher
IQ than Ozzy Osbourne, that the Road of Excess leads
to the Palace Theater [...] Its strategy is to camouage
the feebleness of La Mansons vocal aect by pretending its deliberateone more depersonalizing production
device with which to atten willing cerebella whilst confronting humankinds alienation, amorality, and failure
to have a good time on Saturday night.[35] Spin magazine commented Manson may appeal to mopey eighth
graders, but hes essentially mining the same agitprop territory and 'premillenial' confusion that hipster, highbrow
heroes such as Alec Empire and Tricky take for granted.
Manson shares with Empire a preference for destroying
the masters house with the masters tools. Like Tricky,
Manson uses gender confusion as a coping mechanism,
less identity politics than identity evasion.[41]

is supposed to buy this sudden transformation from selfproclaimed Antichrist Superstar into Ziggy Stardust?
Surely not his fans [...] Surprisingly, those most likely
to appreciate Mansons change in spirit may be honestto-goodness rock 'n' roll fans. Mechanical Animals is
rst and foremost more musical than anything Manson
has done [...] His music packs both industrial muscle
and anthemic conviction, even as it playfully steals from
the Bowie songbook. What it lacks, sadly, is any sense
of wit, as songs doggedly hammer at safe taboos like
drugs, sex, drugs, stardom, drugs, and death. And drugs
[...] But even Manson must realize that with this release, people actually have a reason to line up in the rst
place.[48] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of allmusic commented With pal Billy Corgan as an unocial consultant and Soundgarden producer Michael Beinhorn manning the boards, Manson turns Mechanical Animals into
a big, clean rock record [...] It can make for a welcome
change of pace, since his glammed-up goth is more tuneful than his clattering industrial cacophony, but it lacks
the cartoonish menace that distinguished his prior music.
And without that, Marilyn Manson seems a little ordinary [...] Manson should have remembereddemons are
never that scary in the light.[15] Despite this, Greg Burk
of LA Weekly would go on to call Mechanical Animals
one of the greatest albums of its decade.[49]
Commercial performance
In the United States, Mechanical Animals debuted with
a Soundscan-conrmed rst week sales of 223,000
units.[50] Propelled by both the rst singles heavy rotation on the radio and on MTV as well as the bands
attention-grabbing main show performance at the 1998
MTV Video Music Awards, the record briey displaced
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill for the No. 1 position
on the Billboard 200.[50][51][52] By the second week, sales
had dropped to 98,200 units and the album slid to the No.
5 spot.[51][52]
Although critically acclaimed, Mechanical Animals was
initially not too well received by longtime fans who complained about the wilfully radio-friendly sound of the
album and surmised that Marilyn Manson had "sold
out".[53] The album was the lowest-selling No. 1 album
of 1998.[54] Regardless, the album would go on to attain
platinum certication.[55]
Despite its later success, the album was marred by controversy. It was virtually blacklisted when Manson became
the main scapegoat for the Columbine shootings of 1999
(despite the lack of evidence that the shooters were fans
of the band or even that music causes violence), with unit
sales halting very close behind the gure for its predecesJoshua Klein of The A.V. Club commented Really, who sor, Antichrist Superstar.

Mechanical Animals Tour

Main article: Mechanical Animals Tour
After declining a headlining slot at the failing
Lollapalooza summer music festival (along with
numerous other bands) in early 1998 due to delays in
Mechanical Animals' release, the band launched the rst
of their own headlining tours in support of the album.[73]
It was originally intended to start on June 25, 1998, with
a series of 6 festival dates in Europe lasting until July 12,
1998.[74] However the planned summer European leg
was scrapped and the tours launch date was rescheduled
to October 25, 1998 after drummer Ginger Fish became
ill with mononucleosis.[74]
In the November 2003 issue of Blender magazine, author Chuck Palahniuk included the album in a list of his
favourites, and said: I met Marilyn Manson on a magazine assignment, and he wanted my advice on a novel hes
writing. We drank absinthe once. I'll probably go to his
show when hes in town next week. Its so fascinating to
see somebody exorcise his demons in such a public way. Beginning on October 25, 1998 and lasting until January
31, 1999, the Mechanical Animals Tour included two legs
spanning a Fall to Winter World Tour in Europe, Japan,
and North America and a 6 show headlining stint at the
Big Day Out tour in Australia.[75] In total, the band completed
46 shows out of the 52 originally planned.
3.3.7 Mechanical Animals and Rock Is
Dead Tour
Beautiful Monsters Tour and Rock Is Dead Tour
Following the release of Mechanical Animals, Marilyn
Manson staged two worldwide stadium tours, titled the Main articles: Beautiful Monsters Tour and Rock Is
Dead Tour
Mechanical Animals Tour and Rock Is Dead Tour.
A concert lm was recorded depicting both tours, titled
God Is in the TV.[71][72] It was released on November 2,
1999 in VHS format by Interscope Records and features
live concert footage of 13 songs culled from various concerts across the world as well as backstage and behindthe-scenes clips.[71][72]
Beginning on February 28, 1999, and lasting until August

8, 1999, the tour included three legs spanning Europe,
Japan and North America with a total of 9 completed
shows for the Beautiful Monsters Tour and 43 completed
shows (out of 46 planned) for the Rock Is Dead Tour.

The tour is particularly notable for a number of incidents that plagued its progress. Following the conclusion of the Mechanical Animals Tour in January 1999,
the band was once again oered a headlining slot by the
organizers of the Lollapalooza festival for the 1999 summer season (this time as part of an attempt to resurrect the
by-then-defunct festival) which they declined.[76] Instead,
the band struck a deal with Hole to co-headline the latters Beautiful Monsters Tour.[77] Immediately, the joint
venture began experiencing problems due to disputes between both groups leaders.[77][78] After nine shows (spanning a total of two weeks) the tour imploded,[77][78][79]
resulting in Holes departure on March 14, 1999, and
the tour being renamed Rock Is Dead.[78][80][81] Monster
Magnet, who were already opening for Manson,[77] assumed Holes place on the tours playbill.[82][83] A minor
dispute erupted surrounding the tours revised nomenclature as Korn and Rob Zombie were already in the middle
of another tour with the same name.[84]
87
Vinyl version
When released on vinyl, the record was split into two
separately sleeved albums; the rst credited to the character of Alpha (portrayed by Marilyn Manson himself),
pressed on opaque white vinyl, and the latter to Omga
and the Mechanical Animals on transparent blue vinyl.
The Manson album dealt with songs of love and alienation, while the Mechanical Animals disc contained anthems of sex and drug use.[92] The vinyl edition was reissued in 2012, but on black vinyl instead of white and blue.
The track listing however remains the same. Note: This
track list is also in the CD versions booklet.
note
Song length diers from CD version as tracks are not
cross faded and appear in full length form with 1 to 2
second gaps between songs. Additionally, the intro
to I Want To Disappear is tracked as the nal 15
seconds of Posthuman on the CD while it appears
as part I Want To Disappear on the vinyl version.
The rst two performances of the Rock Is Dead Tour

were canceled after Manson suered a hairline fracture
on one of his ankles during the nal show with Hole at The
Forum in Los Angeles. The tour was resumed on March
17, 1999.[78] The tour, however, would stagger yet again B-sides
following the Columbine High School massacre on April
20, 1999. In the ensuing aftermath, the band was accused

took three years to receive a gold certication from the
RIAA. Nevertheless, with worldwide sales of over nine
million copies as of 2011, it has become one of the most
successful of their career. It spawned three singles and an

Marilyn Manson[6]
In the late 1990s Marilyn Manson and his eponymous
band established themselves as a household name as
one of the most controversial rock acts in music history through the commercial success of their albums, Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998).
By the time of their Rock Is Dead Tour in 1999, the
bands outspoken frontman had become a culture war
iconoclast and a rallying icon for alienated youth.[7]
As their popularity increased the transgressive, confrontational nature of the groups music and imagery angered social conservatives.[8] Politicians across the political spectrum lobbied to have their performances banned,
citing rumors that the shows contained animal sacrices,
bestiality and rape.[7] Their concerts were routinely picketed by religious advocates and parent groups, who as-
On April 20, 1999, Columbine High School students

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold shot 12 students and a
teacher to death, wounding 21 others before committing suicide.[9] In the aftermath of the fourth-deadliest
school shooting in United States history, the band became a scapegoat.[4][9] Early media reports alleged that
the shooters were fans of the band and wore the groups
t-shirts during the massacre.[10][11] Speculation in national media and among the public blamed Mansons music and imagery for inciting Harris and Klebold.[4][12]
Later reports revealed that the two considered the band
a joke.[10][13] Despite this, the group (and other bands
and popular entertainment, such as movies and video
games) were widely criticized by religious, political and
entertainment-industry gures.[6][14][15]
Under mounting pressure in the days after Columbine,
the group postponed their last ve North American tour
dates out of respect for the victims and their families.[16]
On April 29 ten US senators (led by Sam Brownback of
Kansas) sent a letter to Edgar Bronfman Jr., president
of Seagrams (which owned Interscope Records), requesting a voluntary halt to his companys distribution to children of music that glories violence.[17][18] The letter
named Marilyn Manson (and other bands) for producing songs which eerily reect the actions of Harris and
Klebold.[17][18] Later that day, the band canceled their remaining North American shows.[19] On May 1 Manson
published a Rolling Stone op-ed response to the accusations, Columbine: Whose Fault Is It?"[20][21] In it, he
wrote:
I chose not to jump into the media frenzy
and defend myself, though I was begged to
be on every single TV show in existence. I

songs and dedicate themselves to eternal fandom ... I'd like [the] media commentators
to ask themselves, because their coverage of
[Columbine] was some of the most gruesome
entertainment any of us have seen.[22]
On May 4, a hearing on the marketing and distribution
of violent content to minors by the television, music,
lm and video-game industries was held by the United
States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and
Transportation.[23] The committee heard testimony from
"cultural observers" (such as William Bennett and the
Archbishop of Denver, Charles J. Chaput), professors
92
and mental-health professionals.[23] Speakers criticized

the band, its label-mate Nine Inch Nails and the 1999
lm The Matrix for their alleged contribution to a cultural
environment enabling violence such as the Columbine
shootings.[23] The committee requested that the Federal
Trade Commission and the United States Department of
Justice investigate the entertainment industrys marketing
practices to minors.[23][24]
Ramirez were less demanding as they experimented with

absinthe.[34] The band wrote 100 musical fragments; between 25 and 30 became songs,[34] and 19 were selected
for the album.[35]
Concluding the European and Japanese legs of their

tour on August 8, 1999, the band withdrew from public view.[4][5] The albums early development coincided
with Mansons three-month seclusion at his home in the
Hollywood Hills,[5] during which he considered how to
respond to the accusations.[4] Manson said the maelstrom
made him reevaluate his career: "[t]here was a bit of
trepidation, [in] deciding, 'Is it worth it? Are people understanding what I'm trying to say? Am I even gonna
be allowed to say it?' Because I denitely had every
single door shut in my face ... there were not a lot of
people who stood behind me.[5][6] He told Alternative
Press he felt his safety was threatened to the point that he
could be shot Mark David Chapman-style".[5] Manson
concluded that it was unwise for a controversial artist to

Recording and production
Manson began writing for the album in 1995, before

the release of Antichrist Superstar;[26] the material initially consisted of scattered ideas.[27] Isolating himself
in his attic, he worked the early material into a usable
shape.[28][29] At the end of Mansons three-month retreat,
the band embarked on a year of writing and developing
the material.[4][25][30] Band members maintained a low
prole, and Manson said the bands website would be
my only contact with humanity.[31]
The album was recorded at several locations, including

Death Valley and Rick Rubin's Mansion Studio in Laurel
Canyon.[37] Locations were chosen for the atmosphere
they were intended to impart to the music.[30] Mixing
engineer Dave Sardy co-produced the album with Manson; Bon Harris, of electronic body music group Nitzer
Ebb, did the programming and pre-production editing.[31]
Manson announced on December 16, 1999 that the album was progressing under a working title of In the
Shadow of the Valley of Death, with its logo the alchemical symbol for mercury.[31][38][39]
The band visited Death Valley a number of times to

imprint the feeling of the desert into [their] minds

with live instrumentation. Manson later explained that

Marilyn Manson, on the albums prevailing theme[52]
Manson was drawn to The Beatles' White Album because of its role in the Charles Manson Family murders and the parallels he saw between that crime and
Columbine:[6][29][58] "[It] had a lot of very subversive
messages on it. Ones they intended and ones that may've
[sic] been misinterpreted by [convicted mass murder conspirator] Charles Manson. Manson believes it was the
rst piece of music blamed for inciting violence: When
you've got 'Helter Skelter' [taken from a Beatles song of
the same name] written in blood on someones wall, its
a little more damning than anything I've been blamed
for.[6][29][58] Manson appreciates the records power,
which inspired his albums concept. Holy Wood, he said,
is a tribute to what that record did in history.[6][52][58]
Critics also noted similarities between anti-hero Adam
Kadmon and Charles Manson.[6][40][52] Manson echoed
this assessment, describing Holy Wood as a declaration of war on the entertainment industry: their selfcongratulatory attitude, their beliefs that they can never
do wrong, ... that they're the center of the universe[4] ...
[i]n one way its defending Hollywood, and in another way
its attacking it for not being brave enough.[6][40]
A substantial portion of the album analyzes the cultural
role of Jesus Christ and the iconography of his crucixion as the origin of celebrity,[28][59] appraising our relationship with Christ, and how we outgrew that.[6] Manson says that while in the past he critiqued religion, with
this album he accepts the story and looks for things to
which he can relate.[28][30] He discovered that Christ was
a revolutionary gurea person who was killed for having dangerous opinions, and was later exploited and merchandised by Christianity.[28][30] Manson notes the irony
of religious people who indict entertainment as being violent"; the crucixion is an icon of violence which made
Jesus the rst rock star. He feels that the exploitation
of Christ as the rst celebrity made religion the root of
all entertainment.[28][59]
Christs death is compared to Abraham Zapruder's lm of
the assassination of John F. Kennedy,[29] which Manson
called the only thing thats happened in modern times to
equal the crucixion.[5] He sarcastically described the
historic home movie as a good clip of mankinds generosity to share his violence with the world in such a cinematic way.[60] Manson stresses the lms cultural importance, noting the irony of showing such violence on
the news while complaining about violence in the entertainment industry.[28] He watched the clip many times as
a child, saying it was the most violent thing he had ever

seen[28] and juxtaposing Christ and Kennedy:
Christ was the blueprint for celebrity. He
was the rst celebrity, or rock star if you want
to look at it that way, and [dying on the cross]
he became this image of sexuality and suffering. Hes literally marketedA crucix is
no dierent than a concert T-shirt in some

John F. Kennedy kind of took the place of
that [as a modern-day Christ] in some ways.
[After being murdered on TV], he became
lifted up as this icon and this Christ gure [by
America].[61]
Manson also cites John Lennon as an assassinated icon,
criticizing the medias veneration of media martyrs and
its conversion of death into spectacle to cater to the
American publics appetite for violence, tragedy and
celebrity. He denies claims that Marilyn Mansons music was responsible for Columbine,[4][6] speculating how
the media would have covered the Crucixion[6] and linking these observations to Columbine during an interview
on the O'Reilly Factor. Bill O'Reilly argued that disturbed kids without direction from responsible parents
could misinterpret the message of his music as endorsing
the belief that when I'm dead [then] everybodys going
to know me. Manson responded:
Well, I think thats a very valid point and
I think that its a reection of, not necessarily this programme but of television in general,
that if you die and enough people are watching
you become a martyr, you become a hero, you
become well known. So when you have these
things like Columbine, and you have these kids
who are angry and they have something to say
and no ones listening, the media sends a message that says if you do something loud enough
and it gets our attention then you will be famous for it. Those kids ended up on the cover
of Time magazine [twice[N 1] ], the media gave
them exactly what they wanted. Thats why I
never did any interviews around that time when
I was being blamed for it because I didn't want
to contribute to something that I found to be
reprehensible.[64]
Despite references to (and fascination with) the iconic
men, Manson was reluctant to draw comparisons between them and himself (saying it would have been
pretentious):[55] "[w]hat I did nd was parallels in their
stories and my story, and I tried to maybe learn from their
mistakes and what they tried to do ... You realise you
can't change the world and you can only change yourself,
and I think thats what [they] found out.[55] He added,
"[f]or me it was about learning from that and trying to
break the evolution of man [since] its mans nature to be

out in radio contests, on the bands website and to the rst
100 album buyers at Tower Records on Broadway in New
York. The set consisted of four songs, including a cover
of John Lennons Working Class Hero and "Suicide Is
Painless", theme of the lm (and TV series) M*A*S*H.
Manson noted that the latter song "[was] far more depressing than anything I could have ever written.[67][83]
The following day, he appeared on Total Request Live in a
segment entitled Mothers Against Marilyn Manson.[83]
The band performed Disposable Teens on MTVs New

Cover and packaging
The albums artwork was designed by P. R. Brown and
Marilyn Manson.[46] Manson began conceptualizing it as
he wrote the songs, and Brown and Manson worked in
tandem to realize the imagery after deciding to do the
work themselves.[46] It features elements from alchemy
and the tarot.[46]
The symbol for the planet Mercury (common in alchemy)

is a logo. Expanding on its relationship to the albums

released on January 29, 2001 in the US and February
19 in the UK;[93][94] the latter was a 12 picture disc
vinyl EP.[95] Both feature a remix by Joey Jordison of
the heavy metal band Slipknot.[94][96] The second version, The Fight Song Pt.2, was released on February
2, 2001 in the US and March 6 in the UK.[97][98] The
music video was directed by W.I.Z., and sparked controversy for its violent depiction of a football game between jocks and goths (which some thought exploited the
Columbine tragedy).[85][93] Manson dismissed the claims
as hype: "Flak is my job.[94]
On February 10, 2001 Manson indicated that the The
Nobodies would be the albums third single.[99][100] The
music video, directed by Paul Fedor, premiered on MTV
in June.[75] Manson originally wanted to lm the video in
Russia because the atmosphere, the desolation, the coldness and the architecture would really suit the song.[99]
Another early plan was to incorporate the MTV stunt series Jackass, because the song was included in the shows
soundtrack;[75] however, the idea was abandoned when
the show drew the ire of Senator Joseph Lieberman.[75]
The cover art, which portrays Manson as a crucied

Christ with his jawbone torn o, is intended as a criticism of censorship and Americas obsession with media
martyrs.[29] It is a cropped version of the reinterpreted
Hanged Man card.[46] Under it is an obscured copy of
the coroners report for John F. Kennedy with the words
clinical record and autopsy.[104] The Marilyn Manson
typeface uses the same font as the Disney World logo of
the 1960s.[51] Manson explained the cover: I think its
more oensive to Christians for me to say, 'I believe in
the story of Christ and I enjoy the images that you present,
but for dierent reasons than you'. I've taken my own interpretation, thats more oensive than Antichrist Superstar, and just completely disvaluing it. I'm going to turn
a bunch of kids onto Christianity in my own sick, twisted
way.[51]
The cover was controversial; some copies were issued
with a cardboard sleeve featuring an alternative cover,
since some retailers refused to stock the album with the
original artwork.[66][105] A pastor in Memphis, Tennessee
threatened to go on a hunger strike unless the album was
98
pulled from shelves.[59] Manson described these actions

as attempts at censorship: the irony is that my point of
the photo on the album was to show people that the crucixion of Christ is, indeed, a violent image. My jaw
is missing as a symbol of this very kind of censorship.
This doesn't piss me o as much as it pleases me, because those oended by my album cover have successfully proven my point.[4][105] Gigwise ranked the cover
16th on its list of The 50 Most Controversial Album
Covers Of All Time!"[106]
Formats
Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) was
released in three formats. The standard jewel-case CD
release has an enhanced CD, a gatefold booklet and a
card-stock outer slipcase.[35] The UK limited-edition CD
features a bonus acoustic version of The Nobodies,
while the Japanese limited-edition CD has the UK bonus
track and a live version of Mechanical Animals.[107]
Universal Music Japan released a remastered version of
the album in Super-High-Material CD (SHM-CD) on December 3, 2008 and a limited-edition 10th-anniversary
commemorative reissue in 2010.[108][109][110] The vinyl
LP release was pressed on two black discs and contained
in a gatefold paperboard slipcase.[111] The cassette release
contained a single cassette tape, a gatefold booklet and a
card-stock outer slipcase.[112] Amazon.com has oered a
digital MP3 version since November 14, 2000.[113]
3.4.7
Reception
From critics
Holy Wood received positive reviews from most
critics.[122] At Metacritic (which assigns a normalized
rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics)
the album received an average score of 72 based on 14
reviews, indicating generally favorable reviews.[122]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic praised it as the
denitive Marilyn Manson album, since its tuneful and
abrasive. He complimented the band for gur[ing]
out [how] to meld the hooks and subtle sonic shading of
Mechanical Animals with the ugly, neo-industrial metallicisms of Antichrist [Superstar]", and said that much
of its charm lies in Manson trying so hard, perfecting
details ... theres so much eort, Holy Wood winds up a
stronger and more consistent album than any of his other
work. If theres any problem, its that Mansons shock
rock seems a little quaint in 2000 ...[However,] its to
Warners [frontman Marilyn Manson] credit as, yes, an
artist that Holy Wood works anyway.[115]
Barry Walters of Rolling Stone said, The band truly
rocks: Its malevolent groove eshes out its leaders
usual complaints with an exhilarating swagger thats the
essence of rock and roll.[2] LA Weekly was similarly im-
pressed, pointing out that almost all [the songs] contain a double-take chord change or a textural overdose or a mind-blowing bridge, and they'll be terroristic in concert.[123] Revolver magazine editor Christopher
Scapelliti was impressed by the records earnestness: For
all Holy Woods well-tempered melodies and drunken
pandemonium, what comes across loudest on the album
is not the music but the sense of injury expressed in Mansons lyrics. Like Plastic Ono Band, John Lennons bareboned solo debut, Holy Wood screams with a primal fury
thats evident even in its quietest moments.[34] According to Billboard magazine, the album proved that Manson
is one of the most skilled lyricists in rock today.[123]
Other critics were less impressed. Drowned in Sound
(which assigns a normalized rating out of 10) gave the
album a score of 10; however, they noted There [are] a
number of criticisms that could come Marilyn Mansons
way: too much more of the same, too much philosophical posing, too much sloganeering. Regardless, all this
needs to attain perfection is a few minutes shaved o of
the overall running time ...[and] lyrically it actually says
something intelligent for once and musically it has a lot
more variation and scope than the Limp Bizkits of the
world.[121] PopMatters agreed: The central aw of Holy
Wood is that the power of its message, an important and
provocative one, is watered down by its artistic pretensions. While Holy Wood is often aecting, it would be
a better album if it was shorter and dealt with its subject
matter directly, instead of through the veil of the 'concept
album'.[53] Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times was
also disappointed that Holy Wood did not live up to the
promise of Mechanical Animals". In contrast to Erlewine
of Allmusic, he viewed the musical cross-pollination of
Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals as confusion on the bands part about where to turn [musically],
as if uncertain which is the right move commercially in
a rock world taken over by Limp Bizkit and Eminem".
He concluded that "[t]his is music that sounds reasonable
on the radio but crumbles under scrutiny.[124] Joshua
Klein of The A.V. Club was also unconvinced, remarking that "[this] sort of agitprop is thoroughly predictable,
and the only thing that could prove shocking about Mansons antics would be if the singer actually evinced any
power over his followers. Here, he seems entranced by his
own power, which may be why his dark worldview sounds
baseless even as he oers sharp hooks others would kill
for.[125]
Sales
Since early critical appraisal of Holy Wood was far less
favorable than the bands previous eort, Mechanical Animals, many critics and retailers wondered if the band
still had commercial appeal on the early-2000s music
scene. Best Buy's 2000 sales projections estimated its
rst-week sales at about 150,000 units nationally, significantly less than the 223,000 units sold by Mechanical

Animals during its rst week.[126] In the US the album
debuted (and peaked) at No. 13 on the Billboard 200
with rst-week sales of 117,000, an initial commercial
disappointment.[127]
The album spent 13 consecutive weeks on the charts
before dropping o on March 3, 2001, making it the
shortest-charting full-length LP by the band until The
High End of Low (2009).[128] It was overshadowed by Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals (which spent
52 and 33 weeks on the charts, respectively).[128] The albums sales gures were dismal, and it took three years
to attain a gold certication from the RIAA (in March
2003) for shipments of over 500,000 units.[129] However,
in four other countries (Australia, Austria, Italy and Sweden) the album peaked in the top 10;[130] in the UK, it
peaked at No. 23.[131] As of 2011 the album has sold
over nine million copies worldwide, making it one of the
most successful in the bands catalogue.[132]
Seventeen months after Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the
Valley of Death)'s release, Manson commented on the albums lackluster US sales.[133] He attributed the lack of
commercial appeal to the musical climate of the time, but
argued that it stood up comparatively well to contemporary rock albums.[133] Manson noted that the bands US
sales gures are usually one or two million records, and
did not nd the sales gures disappointing.[133]
Accolades
In 2001 Kerrang! named Holy Wood the years best
album at their annual Kerrang! Awards.[134] Manson
sardonically remarked, "[there is] nothing like a good
school shooting to inspire a record when he collected the
award.[135]
Kerrang! ranked Holy Wood ninth on their 2000 list
of albums of the year.[136] The British magazine NME
ranked the album 34th in their critics picks for the 50
best albums of 2000 in their Decade In Music series,
calling it a series of heroic rallying cries for the disenfranchised, while also baiting the American Far Right for
all its worth.[137] The album ranked 30th in the Critics
Top 50[138] and 9th in the popular poll[139] of the German magazine Musik Express/Sounds in their 2000 Albums of the Year. The French edition of the British magazine Rock Sound ranked Holy Wood 15th in Le choix de
la rdaction (the editors choice) and 5th in Le choix des
lecteurs (readers choice) of their Choix des critiques (critics choice) of 2000 Albums of the Year.[140] The British
magazine Record Collector also ranked the album on their
Best of 2000 list.[141]

The Sickness, for exampleit put the singer into a league
of his own ...[and] a decade on, there has still not been
as eloquent and savage a musical attack on the media and
mainstream culture as Manson achieved with Holy Wood
...[It is] still scathingly relevant today ... perhaps thats
where Holy Wood achieved its greatest success. In deecting the attention that was targeted at him back onto
the media, they reacted exactly as he knew they would:
by blustering and further exposing their own inadequacies ... The shame of it all, though, is that so little has
changed. That the album is still so relevant today suggests it failed in its task of changing attitudes. That it
exists at all, though, is a credit to a man who refused to
sit and take it, but instead come out swinging.[4]
3.4.8 Guns, God and Government Tour

Main article: Guns, God and Government Tour
To promote the album, the band began a worldwide stadium tour (the Guns, God and Government Tour) three
days after its scheduled release date and seventeen days
before its actual launch.[57][72] From October 27, 2000
to September 2, 2001, the tour had six legs spanning
Eurasia, Japan and North America with 107 shows (out
of 109 planned).[57] Typical of the band, the concerts
were theatrical[72] and lasted an average of one hour and
forty minutes. Sets were designed with communist, religious and Celebritarian imagery.[142] Manson had a
number of costume changes during each show: a bishops
dalmatic and mitre (often confused with papal regalia); a
costume made from animals (including epaulettes made
from a horses tail and a shirt made from skinned goat
heads and ostrich spines); his signature black leather
corset, g-string and garter stockings; an elaborate Roman
legionary-style imperial galea; an Allgemeine SS-style
peaked police cap; a black-and-white fur coat, and a large
conical skirt which lifted him 12 metres (39 ft) in the
air.[72][143][144]
The Ozzfest leg marked the bands rst performance

in Denver, Colorado (on June 22, 2001 at Mile High
Stadium) after the Columbine High School massacre in
Littleton.[145] After initially canceling due to a scheduling
conict, the band changed their plans to play the Denver
date.[145] The groups decision met resistance from conservative groups; Manson received death threats and demands to skip the date.[146][147] A group of church leaders
and families related to Columbine formed an organizaLegacy
tion opposing the show, Citizens for Peace and Respect,
In their November 10, 2010 issue Kerrang! published which was supported by Colorado governor Bill Owens
a 10th-anniversary commemorative article on the album, and representative Tom Tancredo. On their website, the
Screaming For Vengeance,[4] calling it Mansons nest ad hoc group claimed that the band promotes hate, vi-
100
olence, death, suicide, drug use, and the attitudes and

actions of the Columbine killers.[145][148] In response,
Manson issued a statement:
I am truly amazed that after all this time,
religious groups still need to attack entertainment and use these tragedies as a pitiful excuse for their own self-serving publicity. In response to their protests, I will provide a show
where I balance my songs with a wholesome
Bible reading. This way, fans will not only hear
my so-called, 'violent' point of view, but we can
also examine the virtues of wonderful 'Christian' stories of disease, murder, adultery, suicide and child sacrice. Now that seems like
'entertainment' to me.[149]
Two lms of the concert tour were made. The Guns,
God and Government DVD, released by Eagle Rock Entertainment on October 29, 2002, featured live concert
footage from performances in Los Angeles, Europe and
Japan.[150][151] It also included a 30-minute behind-thescenes featurette, The Death Parade, with guest appearances by Ozzy Osbourne and Eminem.[151] Seven years
later, it was followed by Guns, God and Government
Live in L.A. Released on Blu-ray by Eagle Rock Entertainment (a division of Eagle Records) on November 17,
2009, it depicts the entire sixteen-song set of the nal
show of the tour the Los Angeles performance.[152][153]

The Golden Age of Grotesque is the fth studio album

by American rock band Marilyn Manson, released in
May 2003 by Nothing and Interscope Records. It was
the bands last album recorded as a ve-piece before
John 5 left the group in 2004. The album is marked
by a thematic preoccupation with Degenerate art (Entartete Kunst). Limited edition units included a DVD titled Doppelherz (Double-heart), a surrealist short lm directed by Manson.

Production and development
Most of the songwriting eort on The Golden Age of

Grotesque was shared between Tim Skld, John 5 and
Marilyn Manson. Instrumentally, the album is more beatdriven and electronic than previous releases, with several
reviewers commenting that its sound is at times reminiscent of KMFDM which is likely attributable to Skld,
as he was a member of KMFDM immediately prior to
his arrival in Marilyn Manson. In a January 2008 interview with The Heirophant, Manson revealed that the majority of the albums keyboard and synthesizer work was
performed by him, and not the bands then-keyboardist,
Madonna Wayne Gacy. Gacy, according to Manson, had
displayed little to no interest in contributing creatively
during early stages of the albums development, eventually detaching himself from the band to such a degree
that he refused to attend studio sessions when informed
by management of the bands intentions to begin recording in June 2002.[5] As a result, Manson received musical
composition credits for eleven of the fteen tracks found
on the record, in addition to his usual lyrical credits.
In May 2002, Manson began his long-term collaboration with the Austrian-Irish artist Gottfried Helnwein by
working on the album artwork and various other projects,

Marilyn Manson[10]
Incorporating themes from the 1930s, specically the
Weimar Republic era of pre-Nazi Germany,[11] the albums musical and visual themes were primarily drawn
from Mel Gordons 2000 book Voluptuous Panic: The
Erotic World of Weimar Berlin. Concerned that Gordon
might take issue with use of the books material, Manson called Gordon, who said he couldn't imagine a greater
compliment than a popular music album based on an academic book.[12] The album artwork is also inuenced by
the illustrations found in Voluptuous Panic.

blackface while wearing an Allgemeine SS-style peaked

performances of "The Dope Show", Manson would wear

Reception
Critical reception
Critical response to The Golden Age of Grotesque was
mixed. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating
out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album
has received an average score of 60, indicating mixed or
average reviews, based on 12 publications.[17] Although
ending up in many critics 'best of' lists for 2003, other
critics consider this Mansons weakest album, arguing
that it lacks originality and thoughtful lyrics compared to
its predecessors.
Many of the positive reviews focused heavily on
107
the albums production,[17] with Q magazine stating
that "Grotesque rocks like a bastard,[25] along with
Alternative Press who commented that the army of noise
behind his bitterness is at once massive and impressive, awarding the album an 8/10 score.[19] Stephen
Thomas Erlewine, in an overwhelmingly positive review
for AllMusic, praised the albums thudding metallic
grind, describing it as light and nimble, even though
its drenched in distortion and screams. Erlewine also
opined that "[...] in an era when heavy rockers have no
idea what happened in the '80s, much less the '30s, its
hard not to warm to this, even if his music isn't your
own personal bag, before summarizing that unlike in
the past, Manson isn't taking himself so seriously. It all
adds up to a very good albummaybe not his best, and
certainly not one that will attract the most attention, but
its a hell of a lot grander than what his peers are producing, and holds its own with his previous records. Its also
a bit more fun, too, and that counts for a lot.[18] Barry
Walters of Rolling Stone commented that Marilyn Manson really should be sucking by now. Whats surprising is
that theres still so much life in what Manson is rehashing.
[...] The album loses momentum as the songs slow and
dull down, but the rst half of Grotesque shines brighter
than it should.[26]
In the United States, The Golden Age of Grotesque was
met with modest commercial success. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, with
118,000 copies sold its rst week just 1,000 more
than the opening week sales tally of previous album Holy
Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death), which debuted at No. 13 and was the lowest selling No. 1 debut
of the year.[27] As of November 2008, the album had sold
526,000 copies in the U.S.,[28] but has yet to be accredited
with a certication from the RIAA. On its second week
of release, the album reached No. 1 on the Canadian Albums Chart.[29]
In contrast, the album was, by far, Mansons most successful release in Europe, peaking within the top ve in
most of the major European markets. The set reached
No. 1 in ve countries Austria, Belgium (Wallonia),
Germany, Italy and Switzerland while also reaching
the top ve in Belgium (Flanders), France, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and the United Kingdom.[30][31] In France,
where the set peaked at No. 2, the album was awarded a
gold certication from the Syndicat National de l'dition
Phonographique for shipments of over 100,000 units.[32]
The album has sold over 120,000 copies in the region.[33]
The album received a gold certication from Germanys
BVMI under previous criteria which awarded gold certications to albums that shipped in excess of 250,000 units,
as opposed to the current level of 100,000 units.[34] The
set also attained gold status in Austria,[35] Switzerland[36]
and the UK,[37] indicating shipments of 10,000, 20,000

3.6 ''Eat Me, Drink Me''

Eat Me, Drink Me is the sixth full-length studio album
by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was released
on June 5, 2007 through Interscope Records. It was
recorded in a rented home-recording studio in Hollywood
by lead vocalist Marilyn Manson and guitarist and bassist
Tim Skld. The album was produced by Manson and
Skld, and mixed by Sean Beavan. Upon release it was
met with positive reviews from mainstream music critics.
It is the bands rst album not to be recorded as a vepiece as John 5 departed from the group in 2004. Instead
of replacing 5, Tim Skold remained with bass and played
guitar, and the band continued as a four-piece.
Manson has stated that he sang most of the album lying
down on the studio oor with his hands cupping the studio
microphone, resulting in a very distinctive vocal sound.
Of Sklds compositions a further two are said to have
been turned into fully-edged songs with lyrics, music
and vocals completed but were not put onto album for
fear of making it overwrought.[3]
Hand)" and "Putting Holes in Happiness"). The band supported the album with the Rape of the World Tour. The
album debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200.
3.6.1 Development and recording

After spending time around the end of the Grotesk
Burlesk Tour in severe depression and contemplating his
permanent departure from the music industry, Manson
had a change of heart and recorded a duet of Don't You
Want Me with Shirley Manson. This was originally intended to support the forthcoming 'best of' release but
was felt by both artists not to live up to their standards
and has yet to see release.
Lest We Forget was released on September 28, 2004. It
was referred to by the singer as his farewell album;
however, he insisted that it would not be the nal Marilyn Manson album. After the release of the single
"Personal Jesus", the band made a number of promotional appearances. Lest We Forget was certied Gold in
2005. When promotion for Lest We Forget concluded the
band returned to the studio and recorded eight embryonic
songssome of which had vocals, and one notably a tribute to Andy Warhol. It was supported by the Against All
Gods Tour. The tour was marked by one release, a 2005
EP of "The Nobodies" featuring a new mix of the song
(by Chris Vrenna) and other remixes.
Manson began his recording sessions on the album
in November 2005 but was focused on his lm
Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, the process of opening an art gallery and personal troubles relating to his marriage. It was after opening the gallery,
the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art on
Halloween night of 2006, that Manson really began his
contribution as a singer by working out melodies and
structures around Sklds already existing compositions,
writing lyrics quickly and usually recording on the same
day.[3] One result of this is that the album features six guitar solos from Skld (comprising 3 minutes, 39 seconds
of the album in total) and many other guitar moments
while bass and keyboardsboth played also by Skld
feature much less than on a usual Marilyn Manson release. Manson explained that "[he] was writing in the way
you would write a diary and as a result thinks that the
record was written from a more mature musical point of
view.[4]
It has been stated that there were originally around 20 embryonic songs, all written by Skld, two of which (that did
not make the album) Manson considered complete with
lyrics and vocals. Manson stated that he had a dicult
time cutting some of them, but felt he had to in order
to prevent the album from being diluted. On May 31,

Concept and themes
The Vampire, whom Manson personied during Eat Me,

Drink Me, in one regard is an inversion of the mythology
of Christ. Both entities rise from the dead but as Christ

them one with him.[8]
[5]
Marilyn Manson on the albums concept.
Manson probably needed something to shake up his
music, which started to become comfortably predictable
in the wake of his popular/creative peak of Mechanical
Animals, but the stab at soul-baring on Eat Me might not
have been the way to do it. But Manson is such a true believer in rock & roll mythos that hes wound up embracing
the clich of the post-divorce confessional album, peppering this album with songs about broken relationships
and new love.[6] Personal songs are unusual for Manson, but that doesn't mean hes abandoned his tendency
to write about grand concepts. The dierence is that this
time around, Manson himself is the grand concept which
may give him a lyrical hook, but not a musical one. On
a sonic level, this is a bit of Manson-by-numbers, but
it feels as if his usual murky menace has lifted, with the
music sounding clearer, less aected, and obtuse, while
still retaining much of its gothic romanticism and churning heaviness. If anything, Eat Me is a bit too transparent,
as its clean arena rock production makes the album sound
safe, a bit too close to Manson cabaret for comfort, especially when hes penning songs whose very titles feel like
unwitting self-parodies such as If I Was Your Vampire,
You and Me and the Devil Makes 3 and They Said
That Hells Not Hot, or when he lazily spews out profanity as the chorus to Mutilation Is the Most Sincere Form
of Flattery.
The most prevalent literary inuence of the album and
Mansons state of being is that of Lolita by Vladimir
Nabokov, one of the most notorious books of the Twentieth Century. The song Heart-Shaped Glasses is the
most obvious nod to Lolita as according to Manson, Evan
Rachel Wood is also a huge fan of Nabokov and had deliberately worn heart-shaped sunglasses upon meeting for
a tryst when their relationship became romantic.[7]
Connections to the novel are much deeper than simply
the inside joke between Manson and Wood of the obvious age dierence and it should be noted that the heartshaped sunglasses as associated with Lolita appear only
in the promotional poster and cover of Stanley Kubrick's
lm adaptation of the novel, not actually in the movie itself or in Nabokovs novel.[7]
According to Manson, vampirism is just one of the dark
themes running through Eat Me, Drink Me. If I had to do
a record review, I'd say its got a cannibal, consumption,
obsessive, violent-sex, romance angle, but with an upbeat
swing to it. Aside from the obvious Lewis Carroll and
Jesus Christ references, Manson says the albums title was
also inspired by the story of Armin Meiwes, who placed
an ad online for a person consenting to be eaten.
Logos
Logo for the Eat Me, Drink Me era.
In 2007, Eat Me, Drink Me brought with it, for the rst
time in nearly over ten years, a symbol Manson adopted
to represent himself with that did not have an immediate and apparent deeper connotation to the occult, mockfascism or an artistic movement. This logo, later dubbed
the heart-shaped spiral in ocial online store item descriptions, was minimalistically a roughly drawn heart
which spiraled at its center. Manson revealed that it was
an homage to Evan Rachel Wood for inspiring him with
love and creative drive which was the impetus needed to
create the album. He elaborated that as it was tattooed on
his left inner wrist.
The Eat Me, Drink Me eras visuals, was inspired by the
iconography of the 1935 Karl Freund lm Mad Love. As
can be seen within both the album artwork and repeated
on the CD single for Putting Holes in Happiness, we see
a closeup of Mansons eye with a heart as the pupil signifying a romantic and newly inspired Manson with literal
hearts in his eyes. In very close relation to the lm and
artwork of Mad Love, which portrayed an insane and malformed monster of a man who is driven to create his mad
abominations by the love of a woman, Mansons eyes can
be seen to signify this theme likewise in reecting how
Evan inspired his resurgence of creativity needed to compose the album.[9]
Though not particularly esoteric or heavy in symbolism,
the primary Eat Me, Drink Me Marilyn Manson logo were
two blood dripping fang-like Ms to represent the initials
of the band. Fairly self-explanatory in representation, and
included here for the sake of being all-inclusive, the dripping red Ms are nonetheless an iconic logo in themselves

inspirations.[8]
3.6.3
Album title
The title, Eat Me, Drink Me, represents a multidimensional group of themes, all of which are relevant to
Celebritarianism.[10] There are prevalent concepts in the
album: Eucharist, also known as the time of Thanksgiving, in which Jesus gave his disciples the instruction to
eat of his esh and drink of his blood. This is precisely
where the concept of Mansons Celebritarianism originates from; that is, in the view presented by Manson of
Christ being the rst celebrity and the crucix being the
rst piece of merchandise, Celebritarianism is the worship of death and celebrity and is thereby, as the word itself implies, the consuming and devouring of celebrity as
taken example from the symbology of the Eucharist.[10]
The album opens with "If I Was Your Vampire", an

industrial-goth song. Quiet ringing guitars are oset by
heavy drums, owing as much musically to the Sisters of
Mercy as it does to Nine Inch Nails. And the lyrics are
as much Bauhaus as Ministry with talk of blood-stained
sheets in the shape of your heart.[12] Majestic would be
another way to describe it, as drenched in irony-deprived
passion, Manson intones Beyond the pale/ Everything is
black/ No turning back.[12]
The lyrical auto-erotica that begins in the lead-o track

(Drive me o the mountain/ Youll burn, Ill eat your
ashes/ Impossible wheels seducing our corpse) continues with the wailing Just a Car Crash Away and the
stand-out Are You the Rabbit?", which harkens back to

An ocial Eat Me, Drink Me mini-site was discovered
through a link found in the EU Heart-Shaped Glasses

www.marilynmansonvault.com, contains lyrics, a photo
gallery, a mosaic, and the ability to stream up to two

become available for streaming.[22] The ocial release
of the single coincided with the opening of the vault itself (for those with the single) to access a screensaver,
ringtone and two classic tracks for download (Disposable Teens and The Dope Show).
To promote the album, Manson rst traveled to France,

the United Kingdom and Germany, where he held both
press conferences and listening parties.[16] Similar listening parties for journalists and fan club administrators took
place in other European countries and America.[16] Measures taken to prevent an unauthorized recording or copy
of the album from leaking included bag searching and
the prohibition of recording devices and mobile phones.

Manson announced via his website in mid-January that
the record was nearly nished, titled Eat Me, Drink
Me, and that the band would be touring the world in
support of the record that was scheduled for release on
June 5, 2007.[3] The albums artwork was wrapped up
in early February 2007 thus bringing an end to the creative process in preparation for the imminent promotion
and publication of details.[24] Since the release of the album, Manson appeared in Rolling Stone four times: the
March article Mansons Dark Return, a further paragraph from the Smoking Section, a mention in the 50
Albums To Look Forward To This Summer issue and
a small snippet featuring an explicit picture of Manson and Evan Rachel Wood in a hotel after the HeartShaped Glasses video shoot in which a naked Wood lies
over Manson who has his ngers in the vicinity of her
anus.[25][26] Other publications to include original content with Manson have been the April issue of UK magazine Rock Sound, the May issue of Revolver, an interview with French RockMag, an MTV online piece focusing on Mansons suicidal ideation,[27] a longer, more indepth interview in Rock Sound, a long, very descriptive
and open piece in The Observer Magazine (The Life and
Loves of a He-Devil),[28] a partial transcript of a friendly
chat with Alejandro Jodorowsky, an interview in Germanys lifestyle monthly BlondMag, the cover story of
Junes Spin magazine stretched out over eight pages entitled The Last Rock Star?",[29] an article in Rolling Stone
from Austin Scaggs who spends a fair amount of time
with Manson judging by the ve pieces in four months
he has contributed, The Sun newspapers Something For
The Weekend section.[23]
Cover and packaging
The cover art for Eat Me, Drink Me portrayed Manson
as a vampire, dressed with a black-toned outt, standing
still looking at the camera next to a window covered with
blood; the pose bearing a very strong resemblance to the
artwork for Tubeway Army's 1979 album Replicas. The
back of the cover features a photo of a woman with her
eyes covered by a hand, possibly Mansons hand, with
the track listing featured on the left side. In one of the
booklet's page, Manson says: I would like to thank the
loyal few that waited, at the far end of the abyss, for me to
make this record. My mother and father, my best friends
Formats
The album was released in three physical formats.
The standard jewel case CD release contained a single Enhanced CD and a 16-page booklet.[33] The limited edition CD featured bonus tracks with acoustic version of "Putting Holes in Happiness" and three other
remixes of the single Heart-Shaped Glasses. An edition including a bonus DVD was also released. It featured a bonus CD including seven remixes of Putting
Holes in Happiness, Heart-Shaped Glasses and You
And Me and the Devil Makes 3"; and a DVD, including the music videos of Putting Holes in Happiness and
Heart-Shaped Glasses and a Track by track interview
video.[34][35]
An instrumental version of the entire album entitled
Bonus Track and Instrumentals from the Album Eat Me,
Drink Me was leaked in late 2007 on YouTube. It features all tracks from the album without the vocal track and
also includes a remix of Heart-Shaped Glasses (When
the Heart Guides the Hand)", which was released as a
bonus track on most international versions of the album.
It is not a sanctioned release by Interscope. Nevertheless,
a FLAC version of the album was uploaded to torrents
thereafter, which made availability more widespread due
to the price and rarity of pressed, physical copies.
3.6.7 Singles
On April 17, 2007, "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the
Heart Guides the Hand)" was released as the lead single of
the album and was added to the Marilyn Mansons ocial
MySpace page on April 24. On April 27, 2007, Marilyn
Manson released a clip featuring the last 34 seconds of the
then upcoming music video for Heart-Shaped Glasses
(When the Heart Guides the Hand)" on YouTube,[36] and
later on the ocial website. The song peaked at #24 on
U.S. Modern Rock Tracks.[37]
"Putting Holes in Happiness" is Marilyn Mansons second single from the album. Written on his own birthday,
Marilyn Manson describes the song as being a romanticmisogynistic-cannibal-gothic-vampire ballad. A twotrack promotional disc was released in June 2007, but no
114
conrmation of the song as the albums second single followed until Marilyn Manson conrmed the next single to
be Putting Holes in Happiness on August 7, 2007. The
song has already appeared on the radio in France, where
a promo of the single has been sent out to several major
radio stations. The Guitar Hero Remix by Nick Zinner
version of the single was featured on early special editions of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
In an attempt to clear the air, Spin felt it wise to contact Janine Lindemulder, a porn star who stars alongside
infamous starlet Jenna Jameson in Janine Loves Jenna.
She said: I'm completely convinced. You can't fake that
kind of raw passion, you can tell they are a couple and
you can't fake that kind of stu, Lindemulder told Spin.
Its one of the most erotic things I've ever witnessed, the
subtleties, the realness. It feels like you're peering into
their private sex life. Its hot.[43]
"You and Me and the Devil Makes 3" was released

as a promotional single from the album in September
2007.[38]
Putting Holes In Happiness
3.6.8
Music videos
Heart-Shaped Glasses
The video contains a 2:47 introduction featuring Manson and girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood kissing maliciously
while having simulated sex and scenes of her being covered in blood, overdubbed with an instrumental of the Eat
Me, Drink Me track "Evidence". At the 1:35 mark the
scene cuts to Manson and Wood driving down a highway
in the dark, Wood daring Manson to go faster, to which
Manson proclaims "[I'm] going as fast as I can. Manson
takes his hands o the wheel to take numerous pictures
of Wood, who lifts her leg up to the wheel and holds a
knife to her mouth while wearing heart-shaped glasses.
The two kiss again, concluding the introduction, and the
setting cuts to a club.
On stage, in front of a large crowd, Manson begins singing
as Wood watches him intently, apparently masturbating,
from the crowd (still wearing the heart-shaped glasses),
while numerous photos begin to fall over the audience.
Shots of the two driving are ashed throughout the video,
as the scene once again changes, this time revealing Manson and Wood in a bed, drenched in what appears to be
blood. The two begin kissing vigorously again before the
nal scene returns to the two of them speeding along the
highway. The front of the car erupts in ames, and they
continue along, kissing once again. Manson says Together as one..., and Wood replies Against all others,
before they drive o a cli and fall, the video ending
as they crash.[39] It has been rumored that the scenes in
the video depicting sex between Manson and Wood was
footage of legitimate sex between the two. To make matters more confusing, in an MTV interview with Manson,
he did not conrm or deny the authenticity of the depictions, at one point dismissing it:
And at another point implying the possibility that the sex
was in fact real:
Evan Rachel Wood has said the sex was not real,
however.[41][42]
In response to the videos release, and a string of claims
from those on the set, bloggers across the web have offered their opinions on the validity of the sex act.
The music video, directed by French lmmaker Philippe

Grandrieux, is a simple performance by the band in an
unknown, seemingly outdoor area. There is a young girl
who Manson is seen with many times in the video, and
also a small boy who seems to be frightfully screaming
from something not seen. Manson has stated in various
interviews that select segments of the video were lmed
in Germany during the shooting of the "Heart-Shaped
Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)" video in
April 2007.[44]
3.6.9 Reception
Critical response
Upon its release, the album met with positive reviews.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of
100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score 63, based on 23 reviews, which
indicates generally favorable reviews.[45] AllMusic gave
the album a mixed review and said that "[it] is a bit too
transparent, as its clean arena rock production makes the
album sound safe [...] Eat Me, Drink Me becomes an
intriguing muddle, an interesting portrait of Manson at
the cusp of middle-age melancholy even if as sheer music its the least visceral or compelling hes ever been.[46]
The Los Angeles Times praised the albums concept, saying The songs too are sculpted from the darkest stone
with special care. Previous Manson guitarists will envy
the solo space allotted Skld; a number of exceptional ax
workouts perfectly reect moods that range from mounting pride to roiling anguish to moaning abjection. It also
noted that Putting Holes In Happiness stands out as
one of Mansons greatest songs.[48] Jamie Fullerton of
NME gave the album a rating of 7 out of 10, and said
that "[t]his album sees him rising from the hordes of
spider-black hoodies, becoming a musical force beyond
the Download ticket-holders. Eat him, drink him, but
make sure you listen to him too.[50] Popmatters also gave
the album a rating of 7 out of 10, and commented that
"Eat Me, Drink Me should return Manson to his former
successes, and rightfully so. There is an earnestness in
the music designed to speak directly to fucked-up adolescence while often inexplicably foregoing the pander.
There is something to be said for knowing where the line

is and when to cross it. Call Manson what you will
genius, has-been, shock rocker, freakbut like his best
work, Eat Me, Drink Me is as fun as it is cartoonishly
scary.[12] Slant Magazine gave the album a favorable review and praised "'Putting Holes in Happiness [as] the
best of the autobiographical tracks, with a melancholic
guitar ri that matches the songs appropriately plodding
arrangement. Hardcore fans may take oense to the lack
of any songs challenging God, government, or society in
general, but its their loss. Eat Me, Drink Me is a bona de
creative rebirth.[13] Rolling Stone magazine gave the album a three out of ve stars and said that Manson hasn't
exactly overhauled his identity, but with Eat Me, Drink
Me, hes at least tweaked his approach a bit. [...] Its
still plenty dark, with Manson dishing about vampires and
mutilation in a horror-ic croak thats rougher than ever.
[...] Some of Eat Me, Drink Me is ho-hum and bone-dry,
with few hot choruses and even fewer chord changes. But
unlike those breast implants he once had, its nothing to
be embarrassed about.[52]
Chart performance
On May 31, the entire album was uploaded for streaming
on Marilyn Mansons MySpace page, ve days prior to its
American release. When released, it debuted at No. 8 in
the United States with more than 80,000 copies sold in the
rst week.[55] The album charted at No. 1 in Estonia and
Turkey. Its peak position was No. 2, on the Austria Albums Top 75, it stayed there for 1 week. Its highest entry
was No. 2 in the Austria Albums Top 75.[56] The albums
initial entries in the charts were positive, it managed to
reach the top ten in several countries including Australia,
Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden and
the United Kingdom.[57] The album debuted at No. 15
on the Japanese Oricon album chart, with rst week sales
of over 17,000 copies.[58]
Accolades
About.com nominated the album the 10th best rock album of 2007 and said: One of Marilyn Manson's least
calculatedly shocking records, Eat Me, Drink Me may
also be one of his best, favoring sturdy new wave hooks
instead of cheap horror-movie theatrics. The welcome return to inspired songwriting also reinvigorates his dark introspection, such as on If I Was Your Vampire, a bloodcurdling tale that merges vampire lore with a story of a
dangerously obsessive relationship. Eat Me, Drink Me
is a reminder of what Manson does best: turning scary
industrial rock noises into universal messages of fear and
self-doubt.[59]

3.6.10 Rape of the World Tour

Main article: Rape of the World Tour
The Rape of the World Tour is the eleventh tour
Marilyn Manson performing The Nobodies, during the Rape

of the World, June 2007.
Marilyn Manson embarked on, under management of

major record label Interscope Records. It was also the
bands seventh tour to span over multiple legs. The band
was on the tour from May 26, 2007 until March 2, 2008.
During the North American dates the band toured with
thrash metal band Slayer and hard rock band Bleeding
Through. During the Australian dates, Manson was supported by Australian pop-punk band The Spazzys, who
received harsh criticism from the crowds.[60] During the
Winter European tour leg the band was supported by
Turbonegro. The support act for the Winter North American tour leg was OURS.[61]
For this tour Manson returned to the theatrics of the
Grotesk Burlesk Tour, some inuenced by Alice in Wonderland. Initially, Manson took to the stage wearing a
leather jacket with cut o gloves and a black, long-sleeved
shirt to perform the opener, If I Was Your Vampire and
the follow-up, "Disposable Teens". When rst performed
as an encore on the European tour, Manson took to the
stage for either Are You the Rabbit?" or The Nobodies
(and in the case of Paris, the albums title song), wearing a striped white-gold, long-sleeved shirt. Manson later
replaced the long-sleeve shirt for a black T-shirt with cut
o sleeves. When the butcher knife microphone debuted,
Manson performed the rst song like this but also wore
black, elbow-length gloves.[62] On certain dates, Manson
wore silver pants with his black shirt. "If I Was Your
Vampire" then began to be performed in a black frilly
shirt and a black feather boa and pink gloves for Are
You the Rabbit?".
Following his appearance with Alice Cooper, Manson
began to take to the stage in a T-shirt depicting a cartoon of a bunny rabbit, or on later occasions, a cut-o Tshirt with a skeleton chest on. Costume changes on these
dates after the distinctly nontheatrical European tour rst
leg featured a top hat and striped pants (occasionally a
leather trench coat and jacket) for "Mobscene", a jacket

Posters
Limited edition tour posters sold during the January to
March 2008 Winter tour became important for the albums promotion. Each poster, printed and designed by
Print Maa, was limited to 100 runs each with a unique
design available for, and exclusively in, each city of the
tour. The dark themed poster designs featured serial
killers (namely many of which the band members adopted
the latter half of their stage names from), models and
actresses (a handful of which the band members adopted
the rst of their stage names from), martyrs, iconic gures which represent the themes of Eat Me, Drink Me and
various horror movies.[8]

3.7 ''The High End of Low''

The High End of Low is the seventh full-length studio
album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was
released on May 25, 2009 in the United Kingdom and
May 26, 2009 in the United States through Interscope
Records. It was the last Marilyn Manson album released
by long-time record label Interscope Records.

to make and [Twiggy] is writing from a point of view that
I've always written from lyrically. I don't think earlier on

A statement by Manson that the band were considering
releasing a song before the end of the year implied that
the album was unlikely to be released in winter 2008, contrary to Mansons announcement in May of that year.[3]
Sean Beavan, who mixed Antichrist Superstar,

Mechanical Animals, and Eat Me, Drink Me, is coproducer of the album along with Chris Vrenna. Manson
describes the album as being inuenced by lm, especially the track I Want To Kill You Like They Do In the

Development and production
In December 2008, Manson revealed the sonic qualities

of three tracks. One was said to feature a coven of
witchy girls, the other acoustic swampiness that harkens
back to when [he] was living in New Orleans", and the
song Manson plays guitar on also features him snorting
something, whatever it might have been as a percussive
instrument.[3] On March 10, 2009, a blog entry by producer Sean Beavan conrmed two additional titles, 15
and the rumored Four Rusted Horses.
Initially, Manson revealed the recording sessions for the

bands seventh album would take place between March
and May 2008, that two Eat Me, Drink Me b-sides may be
included, and that he would again be working with Tim
Skold, as well as Slayer's Kerry King and the Yeah Yeah
Yeahs' Nick Zinner on the album; a demo of one song was
also recorded during the tour (the song did not make the
albums nal cut), with Manson lling notebooks ideas
for other potential lyrics and tracks. Also rumoured was In a March interview with Kerrang!, Manson revealed
a collaboration with James Iha, although this was never that The High End of Low contains 15 songs, 15 being
its closing track. He also claimed that the fourteenth track

On April 16, 2009, Marilynmanson.com was updated to
include the track listing for The High End of Low, thus revealing three previously unreleased song titles: Pretty as
a Swastika, Unkillable Monster and I Have to Look
Up Just to See Hell. A splash page was also added to
the website, depicting Manson holding a bundle of uorescent lights against his head.

Concept and artwork
119
Polaroids by Manson and Evan Rachel Wood.[11]
The logo for The High End of Low appears to be based
on the English logo for The Criterion Edition of the 1963
Akira Kurosawa lm Tengoku to jigoku, which translates
to 'Heaven and Hell', a lyrical theme in Four Rusted
Horses. As its title would suggest, Arma-GoddamnMotherfuckin-Geddon contains numerous parallels to
Biblical iconography. These themes, among others, pervade the song and video for the single, exploring the innate fascism of money, censorship and sensationalism of
American culture. It is one of the most indicting tracks
on the record with the singles video and imagery acting as a prelude to the new eras ethos. The '$' symbol
with the video acts additionally as a veiled reference to
Salvador Dal, stemming from a pointed attack formulated on Breton's belief that Dal had abandoned his artistic integrity and surrealist roots in the pursuit of fame
and wealth. Furthermore, (and much like Manson) Dal
was met with accusations of being a Nazi sympathizer
who held militaristic and fascist ideologies, due to his
unashamed and open fascination with fascism.[11]
"[The title] really denes the record, which is about falling

from grace and trying to t in and be accepted as a mortal
or as a normal person when people don't see you as that.
Its also about giving up what you are to prove that you
love somebody more than you love yourself. When you
get to that point you're unlovable. And for me, halfway

politics in We're from America"; love and other destructive emotions like in the songs Devour and Running to
the Edge of the World"; death in Four Rusted Horses
and I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell"; and selfrealization/rebirth: Into the Fire.[3] The album is ultimately a closing of previous ideas, morals and the past.
Manson has stated the whole album is inuenced by lm,
particularly the track I Want To Kill You Like They Do
In The Movies. The High End of Low runs rampant
with references to the number 15, a rst since 1998s
Mechanical Animals. These references include the album
having 15 songs, the last of which is titled 15, the number 15 spanning across the MM logo on the back of the
We're from America single, the fact there are 15 letters
in the albums title, and that The High End of Low would
be released roughly 15 years after the bands major label
debut, Portrait of an American Family. Noted in an interview, Manson said he has been long obsessed with the
number fteen as it is the number of the devil in the tarot
card deck.[9]
The cover art for the album is a photograph of Manson
with a halo made of red glow stick rings. The back of
the cover features a photo of Manson with a hat, with the
track listing featured on the left side.[10] The front cover
was shot by Delaney Bishop and the back cover by Mike
Riley. The inside photos were shot by Mike Riley and all
3.7.3 Composition
There are various lyrical references and evocations within
The High End of Low. Film inuences are a common
thread, with the album being Mansons most celluloidinspired record to date, as reected within the album
artwork and lm reel disc itself. The lyrics however
mark a vitriolic return to scathing diatribes against wanton American blindness and occult themes which have
not as prominently been explored since Holy Wood (In
the Shadow of the Valley of Death) and Antichrist Superstar.[11]
One of the most enthralling tracks on The High End of
Low simultaneously serves as one of the most laden with
multi-faceted imagery. Prior to the album release it was
erroneously referred to as White Spider"; however, the
dierence of just a few letters largely sets the tone for
the rest of the piece. Fans of fantasy and etymology
may already be aware of the signicance. A wight is
an archaic terminology that originally derived from Old
English wiht, and its meaning was a creature or otherwise living thing. Through centuries of poetry and fantasy it managed to acquire its more recognizable meaning, which stands at odds with its original denition. The
wight is a form of a supernatural entity, somewhat com-
120
parable to that of a wraith-like, ghostly gure. Theyre
akin to that of a shadowy remnant, ultimately being a poor
reection of their former self. As wights are continually
trapped in an existence of nonexistence, it is unsurprising
that they were portrayed as aggressive, and violently lled
with bile and hatred.[13]
The seventh track from The High End of Low, entitled
"Running to the Edge of the World", contains a lyric
which rst arose publicly during the lead up to the abandoned Celebritarian era: I don't seek death, I seek destruction, Until death we seek destruction, We dont seek
death, we seek destruction, Until death we seek destruction. Similarly, the lyric United as one against all others is a notable parallel to what is said by Manson and
Evan Rachel Wood in the "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When
the Heart Guides the Hand)" music video before plummeting their vehicle o the side of the cli. The title of
the song itself may be a reference to the 1937 Michael
Powell lm, The Edge of the World.[13] The twelfth track
o of The High End of Low, "We're From America",
opens with the lyrics Were from America/Were from
America/Where we eat our young. Apart from the analogys condemnation of the way children are reared, exploited and ultimately destroyed, it is also a reference to
a piece of artwork by Franciso de Goya entitled 'Saturn
Devouring His Children'. The painting itself can be seen
during the nal scene of "The Nobodies" music video.
The painting and Mansons usage of it are largely tied
to a series of alchemical concepts which played an integral role throughout Holy Wood, and the perpetual evolution of Marilyn Manson.[13] Unkillable Monster contains an open reference to a lm by Luis Buuel in the
lyrics: Sometimes I dream I'm an exterminating angel,
A travelling executioner from heaven.
3.7.4 Release
Album
The album was originally scheduled for release in October 2008, although due to touring commitments this date
was pushed back to winter 2008, before a slating of May
2009, which turned out correct. Initially, Manson also intended to release a song from the album before the end
of 2008, however these plans did not materialize.[2] The
album was released in two physical formats. The standard jewel case CD release contained a booklet.[14] On
April 27, the track listing for the deluxe edition of the albums bonus disc surfaced on HMV's website, revealing
that the disc would contain up to seven remixes.[3] The
limited edition CD featured 6 bonus tracks with alternate
versions of four songs and a remixes of the single Armagoddamn-motherfuckin-geddon. The standard edition
also featured two bonus tracks.[15][16]
Music videos
On April 3, Polydor Records alluded to the previously unconrmed music video for Arma-goddamnmotherfuckin-geddon, saying it would be available no
earlier than April 17. On April 6, behind-the-scenes
video clips and photos of the songs music video, directed
by Delaney Bishop[17] between April 4 and 5, 2009, surfaced, which showed that the video would may be somewhat parody the visual themes of Antichrist Superstar
and The Golden Age of Grotesque. UK television station
Channel 4 announced that they would premier the music video during the early hours of April 18, however this
did not occur and the station later explained that due to
unforeseen circumstances, the video was not delivered to
Channel 4 in time to screen it. They also reported that
because other stations had been screening it, Channel 4
did not plan to air it in the future; curiously, this explanation is false. Universal Music later reported that the music
video was expected to premier around May 5, however
this date was not met either. On May 14 however, the
music video, in which Manson and bassist Twiggy, Chris
Vrenna and Ginger Fish appear, debuted on NME.com
in censored form,[18] before appearing on the bands ofcial website in uncensored form hours later. In August
2009, the Directors Cut version appeared on Delaney
Bishops blog. Delaney Bishop, the director for the video,
later released an excerpt of the directors cut of the video
through his website and can be viewed on YouTube. The
excerpt is the entire second verse and is composed of
footage almost entirely dierent from the original.
Blank and White is about censorship and about the day

that the New York Times said "God is dead" and that the
suragettes protested. One particular line in the song,
all you fuckers vote beep beep beep may be a sarcastic political indictment of the voters that seek to effect change through ineectual means. As Manson mentioned in the same Shockhound interview, the fact that
this very line is echoed in the long censoring beep replacing "[shoot the] president of whatever made him
quite happy artistically.[13] The second track of the album is called Pretty as a Swastika. Its something I
said to a girl because of her complexion, with black hair,
red lips and pale skin. I mean, it was a complex and poetic comment that soon led to intercourse, so I felt no
reason for it to be seen as confusing, hateful and destructive. The record label [told Manson to], take it o the
album. Rather than do so, I decided to produce it on the

photo album. On November 4 at 6:19pm EST, the video

hours. The video was directed by Manson and Nathan
Karma Cox, who also directed the video for "Personal
Jesus". It opens with Manson, dressed in a white shirt
singing the song to a camera while partially concealing
himself with a curtain. As the bridge and outro of the
song play, he beats a woman to death, speculated to represent Evan Rachel Wood, played by Kelly Polk.[19]
Singles
"We're from America" was released as a promo single o the album. Kerrang!'s article erroneously states
that the song was released during the second week of
March 2009; however, this did not actually happen until March 27, when it was released for free as an MP3 on
Marilynmanson.com, accompanied by a new layout for
the website. The song was reissued as a digital single on
April 7, 2009, and is currently available on iTunes and
Amazon.
"Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon" was the rst
ocial single released by Marilyn Manson from the album. It has a remix by the Teddybears. The song was
released for download on May 5, 2009, along with the
pre-order of The High End of Low.[20]
"Running to the Edge of the World" was the second ocial single released by Marilyn Manson from the album.
An alternate version of the song was included in the albums bonus CD. The song was released for download on

Rudy Coby conrmed via his Facebook page that the single had been switched to Arma-goddamn-motherfuckingeddon at the insistence of Marilyn Mansons label,
Interscope Records.
Promoting The High End of Low was a free download
of the song "We're from America". This was followed
by the songs reissue as a digital single on April 7, and
its limited release as a physical single on April 14.[2]
The albums rst conventional single, Arma-goddamnmotherfuckin-geddon, entered airplay on April 13, and
would be released in CD format on May 15 in Germany
and on May 18 in the United Kingdom. The songs music
video, lmed between April 4 and 5, failed to meet two
expected release dates, before premiering on the NME
website in censored form,[18] and hours later on the bands
ocial website in uncensored form. Also in promotion of
the album, The High End of Low was made available for
streaming on Marilyn Mansons MySpace prole before
its worldwide release, and on May 28, Hot Topic hosted
clips from the album on its websites homepage.[2]
On May 7, 2009, an ocial minisite for The High
End of Low went online.[2] Along with a new promotional photo, the site provides partial lyrics to "ArmaGoddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon", links to pre-order
both the album and the Arma-Goddamn-MotherfuckinGeddon CD single, a mailing list and a Facebook application that features lyrics and samples to songs from
the album. The order songs also to feature on this
application were as follows: beginning May 7, Devour, "We're from America" and Arma-GoddamnMotherfuckin-Geddon"; these were replaced on May 15
by Four Rusted Horses, Leave a Scar and Pretty as
a Swastika"; these were replaced on May 22 by Into the
Fire, "WOW" and Blank and White"; than, these were
replaced on May 29 by I Want to Kill You Like They
Do in the Movies, Unkillable Monster and "Running
to the Edge of the World"; and nally, these were replaced on June 5 by I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell,
15 and Wight Spider, after which the fate of the application is unknown.[2] On May 8, 2009, an e-mail sent
through the sites mailing list conrmed that each week
leading up to the albums release, a song will be accessible through phones by texting MANSON to 909090, the
rst of which being Wight Spider.[2]

2, 2009 the record was revealed through Rolling Stone's
online Smoking Section to be called The High End of
Low. Also in the same news piece, Manson revealed
that a music video would be produced for the nine-
Upon its release, the album met with mixed reviews. At

Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100
to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an
average score 58, based on 11 reviews, which indicates
generally mixed or average reviews.[33] Some critics
felt it sounded diluted and repetitive while others praised
the album for showing Mansons more human face after his divorce and best material since Mechanical Animals". Allison Stewart from The Washington Post gave
122
the album a positive review, saying that Mansons divorce from burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese had led to a
new musical high.[32] Spin writer Doug Brod gave a positive review and stated that "[w]hile its still easy to dismiss his shock tactics as puerile and insensitive he hasn't
sounded this vitaland tunefulsince Mechanical Animals.[31] The BBC review stated that the new album saw
Manson resurrected after the lackluster Eat Me, Drink
Me, with credit given to the skilled bass work on the album. The review sums up the album by saying that it
proves theres still a fair dose of blood and bile to pour
from his carcass yet. More impressively, at its best it provides a pointed satirical commentary on noughties America. We're From America was cited as the strongest
track on the new album.[24] Planet Sound gave the album a positive review, citing it as his best work since
Mechanical Animals and that Manson has his preening
condence back. It results in strutting glam and magnificently OTT ballads, with Manson engaged with sounding alien again.[34] Los Angeles Times reviewer Mikael
Wood stated that the band even provide a surprise or
two, as in 'Running to the Edge of the World,' a lush
acoustic power ballad complete with pretty falsetto vocals. Wood also states that High End makes a deeper
impression as a result of Mansons reunion with longtime
guitarist-bassist Twiggy Ramirez; together with producers Sean Beavan and Chris Vrenna, they sculpted a sound
both harder-hitting and more nely detailed than on any
previous Marilyn Manson record.[27] Rolling Stone reviewer Jody Rosen gave the album a mediocre review, citing the diminished shock value of the album compared to
years past. Rosen stated the best parts of the album are in
the ballads like the blues-tinged Four Rusted Horses for
a more endearing depiction of Manson as a melancholy
human rather than Antichrist Superstar.[30] Phil Freeman
of allmusic criticized the lack of variety in the album with
two or three musical ideas are repeated throughout the
disc. He also criticized the lyrics, stating that Manson
"[feels] like hes trying to convince himself as much as
the audience and that he is pretty much advertising that
[hes] out of ideas.[23] A review in The Guardian noted
the lack of novelty in the album, which repeated the
usual entry-level shock-rock histrionics.[35]
3.7.7 The High End of Low Tour
Marilyn Manson performing at Eurockennes in 2009.
Main article: The High End of Low Tour

To support the release of The High End of Low, Marilyn
Manson staged a worldwide stadium tour, titled The High
End of Low Tour. It is the bands twelfth tour and it is
also the bands eighth tour to span over multiple legs. The
tour spanned from June 3, 2009 until December 21, 2009.
The only known tour date of the tours seventh leg in 2010
has been cancelled, and during the last show in France
Manson announced that there would be no further tour
dates in 2010.[39]
In the vein of the album themes and imagery revolving around Mansons conception of life as a movie, the
live counterpart of the album reects this theatricality by simulating each song in the live tour as a different act. Replete with cinema-derived stage lighting illuminating Manson, the separation between backstage"/"onstage has been lifted to portray this cinematic
eect; Manson reapplies his makeup front-and-center onstage, stagehands assist with wardrobe changes in full
view of the audience, and the nal illustration of this concept is that prior to each songs commencement afterwards, a stagehand emerges and signies that each new
act has begun by use of a clapperboard in front of Manmantra of lights, camera,

metal, voicing interest in releasing the album dierBook and lm
Born Villain, a short lm directed by actor Shia LaBeouf,
was a promotional trailer released concomitantly for the
then-upcoming album.[13] The idea for the lm originated
after Manson and LaBeouf struck up a friendship at a
concert of The Kills.[14] The actor, who has always been
intrigued with the singer, then oered to direct his next
music video.[14] In order to convince him, LaBeouf gave
Manson a screening of Maniac his directorial collaboration with American rappers Kid Cudi and Cage.[14]
Impressed, Manson commissioned the aspiring director
to create a making-of video documenting the albums
recording and production.[15][16][17]
Manson and LaBeouf produced the lm throughout July
2011.[13] The lm borrows a variety of very intense,
graphic imagery from a number of sources including
ently from previous Marilyn Manson records, and also

citing his friendship with Slayer as a vague inuence on
the record.[22] On May 7, 2010, both entertainer Rudy
Coby and New York-based artist Nick Kushner[23] previewed material from the album, the latter describing it
on Facebook as fuckin' hardcore. Elaborating on the
bands musical direction, Manson commented on Twiggy
being inuenced by his touring experiences in 2009,
particularly during the Rockstar Mayhem Festival. On
September 10, Manson and Ramirez attended the opening of Kushners art exhibit at the Studio Servitu gallery
in Downtown Los Angeles where, at Kushners behest,
Manson quickly turned the show into an impromptu listening party of the entire album for attendees. Alternative newspaper LA Weekly attended the event and conrmed a release date now set for 2012.[23] They also gave
rst impressions of the new music, describing it as arty,
dramatic, salacious, depraved and classic Manson.[23]
They further noted the presence of slower tempo songs,
126
and a track with a super catchy chorus that could do

the K-ROQ rounds.[23] Manson himself explained that
"[t]he new record put simply has the ambition and determination of how I started making music in the rst place.
It sounds like the rst record in that its not afraid to do
anything. I had to remove myself from my lifestyle and
start fresh.[24][25]
Inspiration
In a March 2012 interview with Revolver magazine, Manson described the album as "[not] really sound[ing] like
any of my old records. In fact it sort of sounds like what
I listened to before I made records, (Killing Joke, Joy Division, Revolting Cocks, Bauhaus, Birthday Party)... Its
very rhythm-driven. Its actually very bluesy. Its the rst
record where I repeat verses. I just sing the words in a different key, the next time. I've never done that before, because I've always felt like I needed to write a lot of words
in the past I think this will probably be the grandest concept record of all.[24][25] "[Born Villain] felt like
making a rst record because I went in with only ambition and only the condence and determination to impress
people that heard it for the rst time, he says. Knowing
that there might be people that have never heard my music and without being arrogant or ignorant knowing that
theyve heard it already.[26]
Unveiled on May 22, 2011, the new CMYK-styled logo is used

by the band to signify the eighth studio album and their new
era.[30][31]
3.8.4 Release and promotion
The album was the bands rst since the expiration of their
contract with Interscope Records in late 2009. The album
was released on May 1, 2012. For much of the early half

on April 4, 2012 on Marilyn Mansons VEVO channel.
Marilyn Manson stated in whilst talking with NME that
Born Villain is about Its a question of nature or nurture, are people raised to be villains or vilied like I have
become?"[28] In an interview with CNN, Manson gave insight into the concept of the album. In any story, the
villain is the catalyst. The heros not a person who will
bend the rules or show the cracks in his armor. Hes
one-dimensional intentionally, but the villain is the person who owns up to what he is and stands by it. He'll do
the things that are sometimes morally questionable, but
he does it because its his nature to do it and it doesn't
uctuate. Its the fable of the frog and the scorpion, all
those stories that just say, whatever you're going to be,
stick to it in condence. Don't waver or life will fuck you
over.[29]
On May 22, 2011, the bands website underwent a complete overhaul. A short 26 second snippet of a new song,
tentatively titled, I am among no one (excerpt from an
undisclosed song with an unreleased title)"[30] was uploaded to the redesigned main page along with a new
logo to signify their eighth studio album and the new era.
The logo consisted of the letter M repeated four times
in a spiral pattern, each with one long tail. At the end
of the blue and yellow tails is the Chinese trigram (
l) of the I Ching. Read lengthwise or up-and-down, it
formed Hexagram 30, Radiance, also called the clinging and the net. The origin of the character is rooted
in symbols of long-tailed birds such as the peacock or the
legendary phoenix. The CMYK coloring was also notable with regard to an acrostic formed by Manson, in a

journal entry that accompanied the site changes, which
spelled out the words Christianity Manufactures Yesterdays Killers.[30][31] On June 2011, Manson appeared live
via the Ustream broadcast of Fleischers Universe directed
by Victor Borachuk where he announced that the new album title will be revealed within a week. He also divulged the lyrics, The center of the universe cannot exist
without edges, of a yet to be released song.[35] In December 2010, Marilyn Manson held a photo shoot session that
leaked onto the Internet in early 2011.[36]
Marilyn Manson performed live at the Revolver Golden
Gods Awards on 11 April 2012, with actor and guitarist
Johnny Depp joining the band on stage for performances
of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and "The Beautiful People".

On June 27, 2012, Manson announced via his Facebook
page that a music video for "Slo-Mo-Tion" was in the
making. The status was uploaded via mobile, reading,
Shooting Slo-Mo-tion. --MM.[40] On August 10, 2012,
Manson updated his Facebook and Twitter with four new
images, one which included the caption, Just nished the
slo-mo-tion moving picture show., suggesting that the
music video was now complete. The music video was
ocially released on August 21, 2012. It was directed by
Manson himself, and features a cameo appearance from
Eastbound & Down's Steve Little.
On September 28, 2012, a music video for "Hey, Cruel
World..." was released on the Amp Rock TV channel on
YouTube and on the ocial Marilyn Manson website.
The video was directed by Tim Mattia for ARTV. The
entire music video is in black and white.
Artwork
3.8.5 Reception
Dean Karr shot the artwork for the album, having previously worked with Manson on Antichrist Superstar and
Lest We Forget cover artwork.[37] Karr also served as the
photographer for a Revolver magazine cover featuring the
lead singer.[37] On March 16, 2012, Steven Coy conrmed through his Facebook page that the artwork was
being nalized. Six days later on March 22, the cover
art for Born Villain appeared on Amazon, before going
into heavy rotation on other retailer websites, as well as
on the bands own Facebook page and ocial website.
Dean Karr has conrmed that his photography work was
not chosen to serve as the album cover, and that the chosen image was taken by another photographer. The album
cover image is the work of photographer Lindsay Usich,
who is also Mansons current girlfriend.
Singles
On February 9, 2012, Marilyn Manson conrmed on The
Alan Cox Show that the rst single of the album would be
"No Reection". Details were sketchy, with Manson only
stating that the single would be coming soon. Manson
also told The Alan Cox Show host that he would be starting
work on a music video for No Reection the following
week. A few weeks later on March 6, the single artwork
and a release date of March 20 were announced via Amazon. The song quickly made its debut on the radio station
KROQ before spreading all over the Internet.[37] Shortly
before the song aired, Manson encouraged his fans to tune
in via his Twitter feed.[38] A music video for the single
premiered on April 4, 2012 on Marilyn Mansons VEVO
channel, directed by Lukas Ettlin. The song plays during
the end credits of Chernobyl Diaries. The music video
went on to win Loudwires readers poll for rock music
video of 2012,with the comment, Marilyn Manson rebounded in a big way in 2012 and the fans responded by
making his No Reection clip the 2012 Loudwire Music
Awards Rock Video of the Year.[39]
Critical reception
Upon its release, the album was met with mixed reviews.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of
100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 59, based on 10 reviews, which
indicates mixed or average reviews.[41] Darryl Sterdan
of the Ottawa Sun gave the album itself a positive review
and said: Just when you thought it was safe to write o
Manson, he rises again like the slasher-ick anti-hero he
deserves to be. The shock rockers eighth album nds
him musing about destructive love, pondering his humanity and quoting Macbeth, while riding a downward spiral
of slow-grinding goth-metal and glam-slam.[48] GyZ of
Noise Shaft was especially impressed with the impertinently awless production values of Born Villain. The
album packs an exceptionally superb and well dened
bite and there is exactly zero mud or fuzz or thresholdcrossing to be heard.[50] Gary Gra of Billboard noted
that the album nds a seemingly refreshed and clearminded Manson and his band poring through a diverse set
of moods and styles in songs that cut a little deeper than
the deliberate provocation of many of his previous works.
The raw and often stripped-down set is built on sophisticated dynamics, while references to the Stooges (The
Gardener), glam rock (Slo-Mo-Tion) and even blues
(Lay Down Your Goddamn Arms) accent the pulsing
industrial undercurrent and foreboding spookiness that
are Mansons stock in trade.[42] Kerrang! reviewer Tom
Bryant praised album closer and ballad Breaking the
Same Old Ground as the most emotional note of the
record. Against slow rich swathes of synth, Manson delivers tender melody, nding pathos and feeling with it.
For a man whos spent so long appearing not to be human,
the deliverance of naked soul makes for a nice twist. Perhaps this should be where his future lies?" Kill Hipsters
noted in particular the insanely good bass lines, bordering along post-punk/punk-rock in some parts, and con-
128
sidered Born Villain as overall one hell of a comeback
album for a guy everyone thought was well and truly dead
and gone. In true Marilyn Manson style hes managed to
resurrect a dead career and get people to start paying attention to his music again (even if not in the same way
people used to). It sounds like Manson still has some
gas in the tank.[51] Matthew Horton of Virgin Media
saw the album as a new, snarly step forward, bristling
with a vitality that Manson has no right to still have in
his locker this far down the line. He attributes this to a
reconnection with his early favourite bands, the likes of
Killing Joke and Nick Cave's The Birthday Party, but its
far fresher than its goth forebears.[52] Fred Thomas of
allmusic commended the record as valiant and exciting
an eort as the group has come up with in years. While
not reaching the dizzying heights of Marilyn Mansons
early material, it suggests a band getting its legs back after a long period out to sea, and could lead the way to even
brighter future wickedness.[2] British newspaper The Independent gave the album a positive review commenting:
On the rst listen, you notice references to Shakespeare,
Baudelaire and the Greek myths. Say what you like about
Marilyn Manson: you don't get that stu from Slipknot.
Since standing down or being stood down as a lightning rod for moral panic, Manson has been free to pursue his artistic vision unhindered. Frustratingly, over the
past two albums, hes failed to exploit that freedom. Until
now. [...] [It] features some of his nest lyrics yet and,
musically, it often approaches the heyday of Holy Wood
and Mechanical Animals. It is, then, something approaching the stunning return to form of rock-crit clich".[43]
The Arts Desk were more critical stating that Born Villain is business as usual but noted a certain unexpected
funk in the rhythm section. Accompanied by long term
co-songwriting wingman and guitarist Twiggy Ramirez,
Manson comes up with tasty intro ris, ecked with electronic eects. In fact, most of the songs start with a real
groove, but then the stentorian metal hammering takes
over. [...] However, there are exceptions, notably the enjoyable glam stomp of Pistol Whipped and Flowers
of Evil which has a smashing punk tune and comes on
like Patricia Morrison-era Sisters of Mercy. As a general rule, when the singer is adopting his strangled David
Bowie imitation and the bass is leading, all is well, but
when he steps into death metal growling and the bludgeoning guitars arrive, things grow more predictable.[53]
Stephen Dalton of The National deemed Born Villain as
a respectable career ghtback, full of crunchy ris and
punchy vocals, but not quite the knockout blow needed
to regain his title as the world heavyweight champion of
shock rock.[54] Writing for NME, Hamish MacBain admitted there is just a lack of magic, a lack of something
special going on. Its not bad. Its not good. Its just...
Well, look, the thing is, for a guy whose whole raison
detre is American Psycho-esque dark comedy/shock horror, getting shrugs and six out of 10 dened as better
than average is not really what its all about. It should
be zeroes and tens. But musically, it just aint.[55] British

magazine Rock Sound were left unconvinced admitting
a core essence of Manson is denitely there throughout, with his sadistic calls and menacing tones occasionally making themselves known, but all too often it comes
across as both lethargic and lacking. They close their review by calling Born Villain a disappointing, disjointed
return. Senior Writer of Loudwire Graham Gruhamed
Hartmann on the other hand felt the album somewhat fullling, stating the multi-talented artist created one of the
best albums of his career. Born Villain is not just a collection of songs, its an album with a distinct beginning,
middle and end. The review goes on to explore the various tracks of the album, before concluding Despite the
notion put forth by naysayers that Mansons best work is
behind him, Born Villain proves not only that the connection between Manson and his fans can still grow stronger,
but that the rock icon still has much more to say.[45] Similarly, Rick Florino of Artistdirect felt the album very satisfying. From top to bottom, its Mansons most vicious
and vibrant eort since Antichrist Superstar. Make no
mistake about it; this is Manson at his best. Elegantly,
he slices throats and puts up a middle nger to everyone
once more.[56] A review written by Chris Lockett sums
up The Bottom Line: Not only is Born Villain Marilyn Mansons comeback album, its also one of his best
albums PERIOD..[57] Mansons album went on to win
top of album of 2012 on Loudwire.com, a well respected
rock website, with the site declaring Marilyn Manson
had an incredibly decisive victory for Rock Album of the
Year in the 2012 Loudwire Music Awards.[58]
The album debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200, with
rst week sales of over 39,000 copies,[59] while in the
United Kingdom it peaked at No. 14 ve places higher
than previous album The High End of Low selling almost 7,000 copies in its rst week on the chart.[60] The
album also sold 5,825 copies on its rst week to debut
at No. 18 on the Japanese Oricon album chart.[61] As of
December 2013, the album has sold over 120,000 copies
in the United States according to Cooking Vinyl founder
Martin Goldschmidt.[62]
In its rst week on sale, Born Villain broke iTunes Top 10
album charts in 22 countries, placing eighth in Poland;
seventh in Ireland; sixth in the Czech Republic; fourth
in Japan and Canada; third in Germany, Denmark and
Spain; second in the United Kingdom, Austria, Finland,
Italy, Norway, Spain and Japan; and rst in Belgium,
New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland,[63] Luxembourg,[64]
France and the United States; in the United States, the
album peaked at number three on the iTunes chart for
all genres.[65] By May 3, Born Villain claimed the top
position of Loudwires Top Rock Albums of 2012 (So

bers Twiggy Ramirez on bass, and Ginger Fish on drums.
The album was certied Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[2] Spearheaded
by its sole single, a cover of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of
This)", originally written and performed by Eurythmics
in 1983, the song became a staple on MTV and helped to
establish the band in the mainstream.
4.1.1
After the conclusion of the Portrait of an American Family Tour, the band undertook the opening slot position
for Danzig's 4p Tour from March 24, 1995 until May
14, 1995. During their tenure, Danzig/Pantera tour
bus driver Tony F. Wiggins befriended Marilyn Manson, bassist Twiggy Ramirez and keyboardist Madonna
Wayne Gacy and went on backstage drug binges, perverse
acts and other unusual escapades with them.[3]
The most well-known and notorious of Wiggins-related
events was a series of backstage makeshift torture, interviews and confessions administered by himself, Manson,
Ramirez and Gacy to disturbed, emotionally unstable and
otherwise strange individuals who were both strangers
and Marilyn Manson fans alike.[4]
Songs
A number of cover songs are included in the track listing,
most famous of which is the bands cover of Eurythmics'
"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", which helped to
skyrocket the band into the mainstream. The other covers
on the album are the Patti Smith song "Rock N Roll Nigger" and Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You",
with the latter later featured on the soundtrack for David
Lynch's 1997 psychological thriller lm Lost Highway.
A recorded telephone conversation between Mansons
mother and grandmother, titled May Cause Discoloration of the Urine or Feces, is sometimes included
on early bootlegs under the title Procardia, in a heavily modied version which is actually a fan-made track,
and not an actual track from either pressingthis version contains the original track in the left channel, and
an extract from Raggedy Ann in the right. The Smells
Like Children version was previously featured as part of
the sound scape Revelation #9, released on the single
for "Get Your Gunn". Some of these bootlegs may also
contain bonus tracks, including a demo for the song My

Inside that empty plastic socket was where we hid our
drugs throughout the Tony Wiggins tour. Whenever we
ingested the contents of that extra orice, we referred to
it in code as 'dancing with the one-legged pimp'".[7] The
untitled sixteenth track contains a slower, more ominous
remix of Shitty Chicken Gang Bang and, approximately
6 minutes in, an unusual audio experiment sometimes referred to as Poop Games.
Samples
The only solace was that through some unfortunate error
someone at the record pressing plant made several thousand copies of our original version of the album, thinking
it was the new one. Without even listening to them, the
record company sent them out as promotional copies to
radio stations and journalists before realizing their mistake. Now, they are available to anyone who wants to
hear them on the Internet. Though someone at the label actually accused me of plotting it, I wish I was that
resourceful. God, however irrelevant he may be to me,
works in mysterious ways.[7]
Marilyn Manson discussing the state of the removed
tracks
Early promotional copies of Smells Like Children featured
unauthorized samples from the lms Willy Wonka & the
Chocolate Factory and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, as well
as other sound bites considered too extreme, therefore
resulting in the track listing to be re-edited accordingly
for public release, much to Mansons chagrin.[7] Interscope was not interested in buying licenses to use the lm
samples and demanded written adavits from the participants in the sound bites, certifying their consent to be
recorded.[7] The removed clips were the original opening
track,"Abuse, Part 1 (There is Pain Involved)", featuring
the voices of Manson and Wiggins as they attempted to
calm down a masochistic girl when things got rather outof-hand,[8] and Abuse, Part 2 (Confessions)", featuring
an interview with a teenage girl who confesses to molest-
Marilyn Manson in the music video for "Sweet Dreams (Are Made
of This)"
Smells Like Children was anchored by only one single,

a cover version of Eurythmics 1983 hit "Sweet Dreams
(Are Made of This)".
Manson often drew musical inspiration from his dreams,
but the idea to cover this song came from his rst experimentation with LSD at a house party, according to his
autobiography. He says that he hallucinated a slower,
meaner version of the dance hit playing, sung in his
voice.[10] He also stated that Nothing did not want to release this as a single. Daisy Berkowitz stated When the
song was released it divided people they loved it or
hated it. This was good. Just like us, as a band, if loved
youre loved. If hated, people that hate you talk about
you even more so.[11] They wanted to release their cover
of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You", which,
according to Manson, was far too dark, sprawling and
esoteric, even for some of our fans.[7]
The music video for Mansons cover was a gateway to
popularity for the band, eventually being nominated at
the MTV Video Music Awards for Best Rock Video, and
contains several clips of Manson and band members in
what appears to be an old, decrepit asylum whilst wearing a variety of strange costumes. The overall video was
shot with unusual lters: this was one of the rst videos
shot with director Dean Karr's initial vision intact, not
4.1. ''SMELLS LIKE CHILDREN''

based solely on whatever ideas the band had come up with
prior. In between these clips are a number of surreal shots
of Manson wearing a wedding gown, Manson wandering around an abandoned street in a tutu, birds uttering
around him and leaving dropping on his body, and footage
of him riding a pig wearing a cowboy hat whilst covered
with mud which Manson rides during the songs climax.
4.1.5
Reception
Critical reception
Upon its release, the album met with mixed to negative reviews from music critics. allmusic gave it a mixed
review and said: Where the full-length debut showed
sparks of character and invention beneath industrial metal
sludge, Smells Like Children is a smartly crafted horror show, lled with vulgarity, ugliness, goth freaks, and
sideshow scares. Manson wisely chose to heighten his
cartoonish personality with the EP. Most of the record
is devoted to spoken words and samples, all designed to
push the outrage buttons of middle America. Musically,
it may not amount to muchits goth-metal-industrial,
as good as the "Dope Hat, "Lunchbox, and Cake
and Sodomy trilogy that distinguished the debutbut
as a sonic sculpture, as an objet d'art, its eective and
wickedly fascinating. Its exactly what Brian Warner
needed to do to establish Marilyn Manson as Americas
bogeyman for the late '90s.[1]

other feature to the show was the addition of giant trees
on each side of the stage from which hung ventriloquist
dummies from the branches. The stage was usually set up
to accommodate small audiences, as most of the shows
took place in clubs, rather than arenas.
This was the rst tour in which Manson began using stilts.
The band also began their signature bizarre looks during
these concerts as well, by shaving their eyebrows, and
donning makeup and sexually suggestive clothes (with
Manson wearing jock straps to pulling his pants down and
tucking his penis between his legs, and with Ramirez beginning his traditional kinderwhore cross-dressing gimmick).
Once an occasional sight on the bands previous tours,
Manson was now regularly seen cutting himself on stage
most nightsparticularly during performances of Sweet
Dreams (Are Made of This)". He got his main chest scarring from this tour as he got into a heated argument with
a crowd member and broke a glass bottle and ran it across
his chest.

5.1 ''The Last Tour on Earth''
5. "Sweet Dreams / Hell Outro" 5:36 (from Smells Like

Children / Spawn: The Album)
The Last Tour on Earth is a live album comprising

recordings from Marilyn Manson's Mechanical Animals
Tour, Beautiful Monsters Tour and Rock is Dead Tour.[5]
On the studio version of "The Dope Show", Manson says
that drugs are made in California, but in the live version, he says that drugs, they say, are made right here in
Cleveland, to a roar of crowd approval, suggesting that
the song was recorded in Cleveland, Ohio. "Lunchbox"
was recorded in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and "I Don't
Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)" was recorded
in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The Last Day on Earth was
recorded in Las Vegas on the Mechanical Animals Tour,
and "Get Your Gunn" was recorded some time during the
Rock is Dead Tour.
Rock is Dead is introduced as if Omega and the Mechanical Animals, the alter-egos Manson and his band devised
for the Mechanical Animals album and tour, were playing. Some of the tracks, most notably I Don't Like the
Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)", are prefaced with spoken diatribes.
The album includes one new studio track, "Astonishing
Panorama of the Endtimes", which also appears on the
Celebrity Deathmatch soundtrack.

3. This Is the New Shit
The album cover is one of Marilyn Manson's watercolor

paintings, titled Experience is The Mistress of Fools.
The deluxe edition includes a DVD containing most of
the bands music videos. The album was certied Gold in
USA and was supported with the bands Against All Gods
Tour. Manson initially called Lest We Forget the bands
farewell album because the band would become a solo
career for him. This has turned out to be true as subsequent albums were typically written and recorded with
just one primary collaborator such as Tim Skold, Twiggy
Ramirez, and Tyler Bates.

Singles
7.1 Get Your Gunn
can Family. The version on the single is cross-faded into

Mother Inferior Got Her Gunn.
Released in 1994, "Get Your Gunn" is the rst ocial single by alternative metal band Marilyn Manson.[2]
Snake Eyes and Sissies was originally planned as the
lead single but never released; Get Your Gunn was released instead. The track was released to support the album Portrait of an American Family, and was the rst release from Nothing Records. A video was also released,
but did not receive signicant airplay. The boy on the singles cover is Wes Brown, half-brother of bassist Twiggy
Ramirez. The song charted in Canada.[3] The song was
inspired by the 1993 murder of OB/GYN doctor David
Gunn (hence the spelling) who was killed in Florida by
self-proclaimed pro-life activist Michael Frederic Grifn. Vocalist Marilyn Manson later described his murder
as the ultimate hypocrisy I witnessed growing up: that
these people killed someone in the name of being 'prolife'.[4] The bridge of Get Your Gunn includes audio
from the press conference at which American politician
Budd Dwyer shot himself, as well as the gunshot that
killed him. Additional saxophone playing is provided by
Sugarsmack vocalist Hope Nicholls.[5]
7.1.1 Music video

The music video, directed by Rod Chong, features Manson performing in a damp attic-like scene, intertwined
by footage of band members and two feisty teenage girls.
It received little video play. It is one of the four music
videos featuring Manson without the white face makeup,
mismatched contacts, and lip stick that would become his
trademark. The video came out in 1994.

For the album, see Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
(album).
"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is a song written and performed by the British new wave music duo
Eurythmics. The song is the title track of their album of
the same name and was released as the fourth and nal
single from the album in early 1983. The song became
their breakthrough hit, establishing the duo worldwide.
Its music video helped to propel the song to number 2 on
the UK Singles Chart and number 1 on the US Billboard
Hot 100. It was the rst single released by Eurythmics in
the US.
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is arguably Eurythmics signature song. Following its success, their previous single, "Love Is a Stranger", was re-released and
also became a worldwide hit. On Rolling Stone's The 500
Greatest Songs of All Time issue in 2003, Sweet Dreams
(Are Made of This)" was ranked number 356.[6] Eurythmics have regularly performed the song in all their live
sets since 1982, and it is often performed by Lennox on
her solo tours.

metal and gothic rock, the song was written by frontman Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez, and was produced by Trent Reznor, Dave Ogilvie and Manson. Lyrically, it discusses what Manson refers to as the culture
of beauty.[3]
The single peaked at number 26 on the Modern Rock
Tracks chart and remains known as one of Marilyn Mansons most famous and most successful original songs; in a
2004 review, Richard Banks of the BBC called the track

Lyrically, it is intertwined with the Antichrist Superstar
albums overarching theme, a semi-narrative examination of the Nietzschean bermensch.[7] Within this context, The Beautiful People deals explicitly with the destructive manifestation of the Will to Power (Theres
no time to discriminate / hate every motherfucker thats
in your way), while also exploring Nietzsches view of
master-slave morality (Its not your fault that you're always wrong / The weak ones are there to justify the
strong), particularly the concepts connection with Social
Darwinism and its relation to various political and economic systems such as capitalism and fascism.
Song information
Origins
Notable performances
The Beautiful People was written in 1994; the lyrics are

by Marilyn Manson and the music by Twiggy Ramirez.
The original demo version was written in a hotel room
while on tour, and recorded to four-track by Manson,
Ramirez, and drummer Ginger Fish. Manson recalled to
Kerrang! magazine in May 2005: It was somewhere in
the South, which is ironic. I remember playing the drum
beat on the oor and then having my drummer duplicate
that on the drum machine. It happened in one day pretty
much.[3]
The Beautiful People was performed sporadically during the 19951996 Smells Like Children Tour, frequently
in abbreviated form as part of the Portrait of an American
Family song My Monkey. It was ocially premiered
on October 3, 1996, at the State Theatre in Kalamazoo
the second show of the bands Dead to the World Tour.
On September 4, 1997, Marilyn Manson performed the

song as the grand nale of the MTV Video Music Awards.

Composition and lyrical content
The song is preceded with a few seconds of backwardsguitar feedback and electronic noise. It includes a heavily
distorted spoken sample by Tex Watson, declaring "[We
would] swoop down on the town. . . [and] kill everyone
that wasn't beautiful.[6]
The song is written in drop D tuning, and is built primarily out of power chords based on the notes of a diminished
triad. It also incorporates extensive use of guitar distortion, and the use of palm muting creates a highly rhythmic, driving style amplied by a heavy percussion track.
The songs characteristic element is its repetitive drum
beat: a ve-beat common time pattern played on oor
toms, with a shue note each measure creating a triplet
feel.
Sean Beavan, who mixed and co-produced Antichrist Superstar, is credited with descending horn guitar on the
track. Beavan can be heard playing a repeated descending
yelled for the audience to Run to church right now! Get

your asses to church, or you're going to Hell!".[8]
Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez joined The Smashing Pumpkins at Mountain View, Californias Shoreline
Amphitheatre for an acoustic performance of The Beautiful People during the venues annual Bridge School
Benet on October 18, 1997.[10] Nine Inch Nails also
performed The Beautiful People, with frontman Trent
Reznor on bass guitar and Marilyn Manson on lead vocals, on May 9, 2000 at Madison Square Garden. Manson
had been a surprise guest at the concert, appearing unannounced on stage during Nine Inch Nails "Starfuckers,
Inc."; this performance was lmed and released as a
bonus feature on And All That Could Have Been in
2002.[11] At the 2012 Echo Awards, Rammstein performed the song, with Marilyn Manson standing in for
lead singer Till Lindemann.[12] On 31 October 2014 in
special setup on Halloween night, performed Manson the
song with Johnny Depp on guitar and Ninja (from Die
Antwoord) as background vocalist, in the club Roxy in
West Hollywood.[13]
7.5. THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
147
In live performances, Manson frequently incorporates the

lyric How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?"
from The Beatles' "Baby, You're a Rich Man" into the
song, either shouted over its instrumental break or as a
lead-in to the introductory drums.[14]
Versions and releases
In addition to the version on the Antichrist Superstar album and the version on the single (which dier only in
the length of the introductory noise) a radio edit also exists, which removes the profanity. The phrase hate every motherfucker has been replaced by the alternate lyric

7.7 Man That You Fear

"Man That You Fear" is a promotional-only single from
Marilyn Manson's second studio album, Antichrist Superstar, and is the nal song on the album. The song is inspired by what Manson had to grow up with and how it
turned him into what he is now, a man or monster that
people now have grown to fear. The line, Sticking to my
pointy ribs/ Are all your infants in abortion cribs refers
to a story told in The Long Hard Road Out of Hell in which
Manson as a child found a coee can with something rotting inside. His mother told him it was discarded meat,
but later told him that it was actually an aborted fetus.
The song was initially penned during Mansons cousin
Chads wedding ceremony.
7.7.1 Music video

In the music video, directed by W.I.Z., Manson portrays
a man who is condemned to die. He is chosen by a
blindfolded child who spins around pointing her nger.
When she stops spinning, she removed the blindfold and
sees the trailer home that she is pointing to the home
of the condemned. The video features all events of his
last day on earth, leading up to his death by stoning in an
isolated location of the desert. The random nature of the
stoning is a reference to the Shirley Jackson short story
The Lottery.
The procession into the desert involves various strangely
dressed characters, including a child in wearing a mask in
the form of a horses head and a character waving a stick
and dancing in circles, which may be references to the
1973 lm The Wicker Man, in which the main character
is led in a similar procession to be sacriced.
The procession makes more references to the Alejandro
Jodorowsky lm Santa Sangre where a funeral takes place
and all the characters are pretty much similar to the same
characters in the video.
The Music video in particular also has stark contrast to
the short story, The Lottery by Shirley Jackson where a
woman is stoned after having her name randomly drawn
from a black box in the town square.

piled. He shot excess material featuring Manson, then

edited it together with the pre-existing scenes.[1]
"Antichrist Superstar" is a promotional-only single

from Marilyn Mansons second studio album of the same
name. The song itself is symbolic of the climax of the
concept album's story, the point where the abused and
wretched victim at the center of the tale takes on the identity of the nihilistic culture war iconoclast Antichrist Superstar, rampaging the world and destroying anything in
his path. This image is conveyed by the songs triumphal
and ominous tone; the guitar ris are deliberately reminiscent of horns and trumpets in a totalitarian rally, in
which Manson sings, and could be an allusion to how
his critics see him (as a threat to Christian morality and,
therefore, the world.
Merhige used military footage from dierent countries

and dierent wars that depicted the fascist aspect of the
song. However, Manson was not quite sure that it represented the criticism that the subject matter deserved. Ultimately, release of the video was vetoed by Interscope,
who was appalled by the quality of the cinematography.
The frontman, for his part, expressed interest in seeing its
release someday, quipping: thats not to say it won't be
seen but I'm not sure if [Merhige] ever had a fair chance
of nishing it because of the record company.[1]
In concert, Marilyn Manson usually sings the song atop a

podium in a stage lled with banners embellished with the
albums distinctive lightning bolt/shock symbol, much
like the Nazi Nuremberg Rallies and sings the song with
highly exaggerated body movements and postures meant
to mock and parody dictators and televangelists.
Rovers Morning Glory uses this songs intro as the shows

7.8.1
Music video
For over 14 years the lm was shelved by Interscope.[2]

Despite this, on June 19, 2010, the music video was released in its entirety on YouTube.[2] The leaked video is
5 minutes and 43 seconds in length although, according
to the title card, its total run time is 5 minutes and 23
seconds.[2] It was lmed by Merhige in black and white,
incorporating footage from Begotten as well as the military warfare footage.[2] Original scenes including Manson
were also lmed where he is seen playing a demagogue in
a business suit tearing pages out of a bible from the top of
a podium similar to his live performance of the song.[2]
Henry S. Rosenthal of San Francisco-based lm company
Complex Corporation mentioned his involvement in the
production of the video and he is credited in the lms
intertitle.[2] In mid-2011 the music video was put up for
streaming on the bands ocial website.

An excerpt from the song was included in Weird Al

Yankovic's "Polka Power" medley in 1999.
"The Dope Show" is a song from Marilyn Manson's 1998

album Mechanical Animals, released in September of that 7.10.2
year as the albums lead single. The lyrics were written
by Marilyn Manson and the music composed by Twiggy
Ramirez.
7.10.1
Music video
Song information
The Dope Show came at a point in the history of Marilyn Manson which saw the band shedding the dark, nihilistic trappings that had characterized the previous album, Antichrist Superstar. The single, a hard rock song
styled after the 1970s work of T. Rex and David Bowie,
acted as a sort of introduction to the bands new approach.
Jeordie White (Twiggy Ramirez) has stated on the Q/A
section of his website that the song came from Ripping
o Iggy Pop's song Nightclubbing" from his album The
Idiot. He also called it A mixture of Oasis and T. Rex". Marilyn Manson in the music video for The Dope Show
7.10. THE DOPE SHOW

The Dope Shows single release was accompanied by a
surrealistic music video directed by Paul Hunter, which
began lming on August 8, 1998 and which premiered
on August 20, 1998.[5] In scenes reminiscent of The
Man Who Fell to Earth, Manson appears red-haired,
with his entire body, including prosthetic rubber breasts,
covered in white latex paint as an androgynous
extraterrestrial wandering around the Hollywood Hills.
He is captured, studied in a laboratory, and eventually
transported by limousine to a stage where he and the other
members of the band the ctional band Omega and the
Mechanical Animals perform the song in concert before hysterical fans who end up rioting and crossing the
security barriers. Actor Billy Zane makes a cameo appearance in the limo sequence, as a recording industry
executive. This same sequence features parodies of SPIN
magazine (as Spun in the video) and The National Enquirer.
The videos imagery employs several direct homages to
The Holy Mountain, most specically a sequence involving the destruction of plaster casts of the main characters body in a crucixion pose. In addition, sculptural
pieces by German artist Rebecca Horn are re-created
such as Overowing Blood Machine in which Manson
is bound by long, red, blood-owing tubes. In the limo

signed jointly by Manson and Terri King. The Goddess
Bunnys custom couture sequin gown (worn for the video
and the live MTV awards performance), was designed and
hand sewn by Kris Hendrickson Testanier of San Francisco.
The video reached #16 on MuchMusics 50 Most Controversial Videos, for Mansons shocking appearance. The
video is available on a DVD included with some editions
of Lest We Forget, as well as on the VHS compilation God
Is in the TV, which also included uncensored outtake
footage, such as Twiggy Ramirez, Madonna Wayne Gacy
and the Goddess Bunny undressing in the back of a limousine.
An alternate version of the video just featuring Manson
and various close ups was released on the old Marilyn
Manson website Marilyn Manson.net prior to the ocial
release. Parts of this rst video can be seen in the nished

"Coma White" is a song by the band Marilyn Manson. It
is the last track from the album Mechanical Animals. Despite only being released as a promo single, a video was
shot in the wake of the Columbine tragedy controversy
surrounding the band, and it also provided a preview of
the Holy Wood project. The video generated signicant
controversy and became a highly requested clip on MTV.
It is considered a fan favorite, and one of Mansons most
critically acclaimed songs o one of the bands most critically acclaimed albums.

7.13.2
"Rock Is Dead" is a song by The Doors, which
was recorded February 25th, 1969 at Elektra Sound
Recorders Studios, 962 La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, 90069,.[1] It was edited for a release
in 1996 and was released for the rst time on the
compilation box set The Doors: Box Set
Song
The song is considerably gentler than much of the album it concludes, "Mechanical Animals. It starts with
an acoustic guitar-sounding ri played mostly on the B
string; after the ri is concluded once, a simplistic drum
pattern and very minimalist bass line supports it, and the
lyrics begin after the ri is played a second time. The last

CHAPTER 7. SINGLES
repeat of the verse section includes a few distorted guitar overlays that build to the chorus, a straight-up set of
power chords that follows the previous bass line (which
now plays something completely dierent). There is an
accompanying keyboard eect playing during this section. After this a bridge plays consisting of one guitar
playing an extrapolation from the chorus, with a second
overlaid guitar playing the bass notes of each chords at a
very high pitch. The verse then repeats, although there
is now considerably more keyboard eects that do not
feel musical so much as ambient sound. The chorus
then plays twice, followed by the bridge. It is played once
with just the rhythm guitar on the very left of the soundscape, a second time adding the high guitar on the far
right, and a third with the full band and lyrics repeated
from the verses. The rhythm section then plays the rst
half of the chorus before the guitar kicks in to nish it,
then the chorus plays three more times. The last time it
is played, another layered guitar bit based on the G string
is added; this progression continues after the rest of the
chorus ends, looping itself until it, and the album, fades
from perception.
Referring to Coma White and Great Big White World
Manson told the Los Angeles Times, The color white
comes up a lot. It kind of represents to me the numbness I had. That numbness is manifested in drugs...in all
the people who want to suck the life out of you when you
become a rock star.[2] One analysis held that the song
describes a girl that Manson loved and compares the girl
to a drug, so the singer isn't sure what hes on or whom
hes in love with.[3]

broad daylight). Manson and his then-ance Rose McGowan play JFK and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, respectively. Its debut release was through the bands ocial website MarilynManson.com, and was delayed twice
until mid-September due to the Columbine Massacre and
the death of JFK Jr.
The video is oddly clean given the gore of the actual
events. The director, Samuel Bayer, says there was no
blood used during the lming. We didn't feel like it was
appropriate to actually act out the assassination.[6] One
Canadian reviewer remarked that the video, which was
expected to shock, was More Fellini-esque death march
than blasphemous rewrite of history, [and] it caused little
commotion.[7]
The video is also notable for the appearance of the late,
7 foot 6 actor Matthew McGrory.
Controversy
The release of the video was hampered by two coinciding events: the Columbine High School massacre, and the
coincidental death of John F. Kennedy, Jr.
In a statement released by his publicist, Manson said the

7.15 Disposable Teens

"Disposable Teens" is a song by American industrial
metal band Marilyn Manson. It is the rst single from
their fourth full-length studio album, Holy Wood (In the
Shadow of the Valley of Death), released in 2000.
It was released in two standalone physical formats. The
rst, titled Disposable Teens Pt. 1, was released on
November 6, 2000 in the UK.[4] It features Mansons
cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero".[5] The
second, titled Disposable Teens Pt. 2, followed on
November 14, 2000 and features a cover of The Doors'
"Five to One".[6][7] Disposable Teens Pt. 2 was also
released as a 12 picture disc vinyl LP.[8]
It is considered a teenage anthem of sorts, echoing what
Manson see as teenagers who act violently in retaliation
against parental and social authority. The chorus borrows
lyrically from The Beatles' song, "Revolution. The song
also paraphrases George Orwells book Nineteen EightyFour, Rebel from the waist down, the original line being You're only a rebel from the waist down'. Here, it
has been given new meaning as a pop culture reference
to Elvis Presley's infamous swiveling hips, satirizing the
assertion that they, and by extension rock 'n' roll, had
caused the decline of Western Civilization and given
rise to 'disposable teens.
Manson, who had guest starred on Celebrity Deathmatch

Music video
The music video was directed by Samuel Bayer and premiered on MTV's Total Request Live on October 25, 2000
(3:30-4:30pm EST).[4][16] Manson asked Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM to help spread the word that the
band is looking for 200 to 250 fans to dress in black and
participate in the shoot.[16] The clip was lmed in Los
Angeles.[16]
The video starts out with Manson rising slowly from what
appears to be a lake (symbolic of the third and nal beast).
The video cuts between Manson in several dierent environments and outts including a Pope outt, as the food
in a Last Supper reenactment and Manson himself performing to a crowd, surrounded by fascist looking police
with crucix shaped batons. As the video climaxes the
crowd is seen overthrowing the guards.

Music video
The music video for The Nobodies was directed by Paul

Fedor.[7] It premiered on MTV in June 2001.[7] Technical
presentation of the video uses shaking camera techniques,
varying perspective shots, closeups, and fast scene shot
changes.
Originally, the frontman expressed desire to lm the music video in Russia because the atmosphere, the desolation, the coldness, and the architecture would really suit
the song.[1] Another concept called for the incorporation
of the MTV stunt and prank reality TV series, Jackass,
due to the songs inclusion in the Jackass soundtrack.[7]
However, this idea was abandoned after the show began
drawing the ire of U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman (DConn.), who was among the politicians who targeted Marilyn Manson for blame after the Columbine High School
massacre.[7][8] Marilyn Manson explained the idea for the

most successful songs, along with the single Enjoy the
Silence. Although not the rst Depeche Mode song to

Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante to re-work an
acoustic version of Martin Gores song, which featured a
simple acoustic ri that stripped down the song to a blues
style. Frusciante plays guitar on the track, along with
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell. It appears as the B-side to another cover, Nine Inch
Nails' "Hurt".

Marilyn Manson cover

Marilyn Manson's 2004 cover version of Personal Jesus
appears on the bands best-of compilation, Lest We Forget: The Best Of, and was that albums lead single. It
was recorded by Marilyn Manson with instrumentation
and arrangement by Tim Skld at Mansons studio, Doppelherz Blood Treatment Facility, and mixed by Mark
'Spike' Stent, a veteran producer who had also frequently
worked with Depeche Mode.
The cover does not deviate in any large degree from Depeche Modes original version, apart from additional guitar distortion. The single was accompanied by a music video directed by Manson and Nathan Karma Cox,
which features the band members in tableaux vivants
accompanied by rear-projection images depicting various images of political gures such as Benito Mussolini,
John F. Kennedy, Joseph Stalin, Mahatma Gandhi, Adolf
Hitler, George W. Bush and Fidel Castro.
Like the original version, this 2004 cover was also
remixed by other artists. The Personal Jesus Rude Photo
Motor Mix was produced by Felix da Housecat, Brian
Black and Olivier Grasset, and appears as a b-side on the
vinyl versions of the single. It has been a staple of the
bands live shows as well.

Release
The new version became a quick success, but was

banned by some stores and radio stations nationwide,
and did not appear on the record charts despite the fact
it was clearly a good seller. The new version brought
Hawkins together with Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed
who promptly added him to his Rock and Roll Review.
Up to this time, Hawkins had been a blues performer:
emotional, but not wild. Freed suggested a gimmick to
capitalize on the demented sound of I Put a Spell on
You": Hawkins wore a long cape, and appeared onstage
by rising out of a con in the midst of smoke and fog.[4]

in Hawkins nose, on-stage snakes and reworks, and a

Antichrist Superstar has elaborate packaging, consisting

of a black cardstock sleeve covering the plastic jewel
case with graphics of Manson on both the front and back,
the latter of which is anked by the red Superstar Shock
logo and the Roman numerals IX, VI, III and VII. The
booklet contains pictures of the band, a visual worm-toangel metamorphosis, medical diagrams, printed lyrics to
each song, and liner notes including traditional thanks and
credits as well as a curious entry found under the lyrics
to the song Irresponsible Hate Anthem, stating it was
recorded live on February 14, 1997, despite the album
being released well before that in October 1996.
Antichrist Superstar is the second full-length studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. Released
on October 8, 1996 in the US through Nothing and
Interscope Records, the album debuted at No. 3 on the
Billboard 200 which launched the band into mainstream
success.[3] This, allied with the bands uncompromisingly
anti-Christian stance and transgressive performances, led
to picketing and numerous protests from religious and
civic groups. The album displayed a more musically cohesive and developed sound than any of their previous releases. According to Rolling Stone magazine, the albums Also, found on the front of the album cover is a

Reception
Critical reception
The album received generally positive reviews by critics.
Lorraine Ali of Rolling Stone commented The rise of
Marilyn Manson marks the end of the reign of punk realism in rock & roll [...] The layered eect of the music recalls that of Ministry, but Marilyn Mansons execution is not as dense. Instead, Antichrist Superstar
writhes with a cool, sinister and taunting feel [...] before lurching out from the shadows with hammering percussion and static-loaded feedback [...] For all of the albums attractions, the band could have compressed Antichrist Superstar into a more powerful blast of evil.[12]
Jim Farber of Entertainment Weekly commented With
Antichrist Superstar, Manson oers a combination vintage concept record and cheesy exploitation ick [...] to
match his antisocial outbursts, Manson oers grinding
metal guitars and death-rattle bass lines, letting his own
deformed screech serve as the poison cherry on top [...]
At least Mansons high-concept depravity has its own sick
charm.[10] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic commented, Though the sonic details make Antichrist Superstar an intriguing listen, its not as extreme as it could
all-time.[15] In 2001 Q named Antichrist Superstar as one

of the 50 Heaviest Albums Of All Time.[16] In 2006,
sister British magazines Classic Rock and Metal Hammer included Antichrist Superstar in The 200 Greatest
Albums of the 90s.[17][18] Furthermore, in 2001, Classic
Rock ranked the album 92nd in its 100 Greatest Rock Albums Ever.[18][19] The French edition of the British magazine Rock Sound ranked Antichrist Superstar 11th in their
Top 150 Albums of Our Lifetime (19922006)[20] and
13th in their 1996 Albums of the Year.[18][21] Kerrang!
ranks Antichrist Superstar 3rd in their 1996 list of Albums of the Year,[22] 14th on their 100 Albums You Must
Hear Before You Die[23] and 88th in its 100 Greatest
Rock Albums.[18][24] Dutch magazine Muziekkrant OOR
ranked Antichrist Superstar 109th in their 1996 Albums of
the Year list.[25] Rolling Stone listed Antichrist Superstar
among its Essential Recordings Of The 90s in 1999[26]
and ranked it 84th in their The 100 Greatest Albums of
the 90s[27] in 2010.[18] The record is also listed in the
book Albums: 50 Years of Great Recordings.[18][28] British
magazine Record Collector also list the album among
their 10 Classic Albums from 21 Genres for the 21st Century.[18][29] German magazine Visions considers the album 37th in its list of The Most Important Albums of the
90s.[18][30] The French FNAC ranks the record 606th in
their The 1000 Best Albums of All Time.[18][31] Furthermore, the French music magazine Rock & Folk lists Antichrist Superstar among The Best Albums from 1963 to
1999.[18][32] In 2008, Consequence of Sound identied
Antichrist Superstar as a modern classic in their Dusting

the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[34]

8.4 This Is Halloween

"This Is Halloween" is a song by composer Danny Elfman from the 1993 lm, The Nightmare Before Christmas. In the lm it is performed by the residents of the ctional Halloween Town, which is the lms main setting,
and introduces the towns Halloween-centered lifestyle.
The song is featured in both HalloWishes at the Magic
Kingdom and at Disneyland's Halloween Screams. In
Calaway Park, it is featured in the haunted mansion. It
is also used as the background music for the Halloween
Town world in the video game Kingdom Hearts. The song
is featured in the video game Just Dance 3.
8.4.1
Other languages
Dierently from the vast majority of Disney movies, in

several countries The Nightmare Before Christmas was
released only with subtitles, since the movie was originally thought to be too dark and scary for kids,[1] and
was thus released as a product for adults. However, some
countries did rerecord the song anyway, along with the
whole movie, in their own languages.
8.4.2
Covers
This Is Halloween was covered by Marilyn Manson in

2006 for the special edition release of the lms soundtrack and subsequently included on the 2008 cover album,
Nightmare Revisited. The song was also covered by Panic!
at the Disco for the 2006 soundtrack reissue.[2][3] On the
2011 album V-Rock Disney, which features visual kei
artists covering Disney songs, Sadie covered this song.[4]

the disingenuous politicians, the tens of thousands who
came to see for themselves and, of course, gazing outward from the very heart of the storm, Manson himself.

It follows Mansons life from when he was a child,
born as Brian Hugh Warner, until the events of the
bands controversial Dead to the World Tour. It also details his grandfathers sexual fetishes' (including bestiality
and sadomasochism) inuence to the forming of Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, to the recording of
Antichrist Superstar. Its last pages are the journal of the
bands touring, documenting backstage events and peoples reactions. The book includes many references to his

he attributes as causal to his current status quo. It also
features his journalism works, including an article about

The autobiography goes in-depth into the break-ups
amongst the bands history. It follows several members
through becoming friends and musicians with the band to
angry and sometimes bitter leavings, some band members
detested being red so badly that lawsuits have been led
against Manson by his own crew members.

part of the plan was a coee table book of images related
to the novel and the album by Manson and longtime art
collaborator P.R. Brown.[4]
Cover art and Chapter 10

During the promotion of the album Holy Wood (In the
Shadow of the Valley of Death) mid 2000, several secret
sister websites were launched containing audio from the
album with accompanying images. TheLoveSong.com
was one of the rst sites to be found and contained a
clip of the song "The Love Song" with an image of what
looked like the cover of the book. On February 14, 2001,
Manson posted a message on his ocial Bulletin Board
System called They'd Remember 'This As Valentines
Day'". It contained a link which led to an image of Time
Magazine dated February 14, 1964; it featured a picture
of Marina Oswald on the cover. In the image, a hyperlink
on her brooch led to Chapter 10 of the book. This was
the only extract of the book released.
Manson has also stated that there is a character thats

very much a take on Walt Disney, who was a big inspiration in the writing of both the book and its accompanying album.[3] In describing the setting, he compared Holy
Wood, the place, to Disney World: I thought of how interesting it would be if we created an entire city that was
an amusement park, and the thing we were being amused
by was violence and sex and everything that people really Although praised by critics, when the Holy Wood album
was nally released it was met with disappointing sales in

comparison to Mansons previous albums, taking almost
a year to reach gold certication in the US. Talk of the
aforementioned lm and novel slowly died down in the
10.2.2 Background information
press.
Early talk of the book and lm project
In early June 1999 Manson stated at the MTV Movie
Awards that he was writing a lm script but refused to
be drawn into discussion over its contents.[4] By the next
month however it became known[4] that New Line Cinema had approved Holy Wood[4] and that Manson was
writing the script with the help of writer Robert Pargi.[4]
At the 1999 MTV Europe Music Awards in Dublin, Ireland, on November 11, where the band was slated to
perform,[5] Manson revealed to MTV News' John Norris the title of his then-unrevealed lm project and his
hopes for it "[to] go into production sometime in the next
year.[6] Manson also met with Chilean avant-garde lmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky at the event to discuss the
possibility of working on the lm. However, no nal decision was made.[5][7] Central to the idea was a starring
role for Mansons then-ance Rose McGowan.
By February 29, 2000, however, the project was postponed as Manson feared the lm had been tweaked in
ways that would have ruined his artistic vision.[4] Plans
were made to rst release the album in the autumn
and to follow it in 2001 with the novel which Manson
called graphic and phantasmagoric, stemming back to
an idea he rst began to draft in 1995.[4] The book was
a novelized adaptation of the script intended to be released shortly after the record by HarperCollins division
ReganBooks.[8] The style was modeled on and inspired
by the authors William S. Burroughs, Kurt Vonnegut,
Aldous Huxley and Philip K. Dick.[9] The third and nal
After Holy Wood

In spring 2002 Manson began again to mention the novel
in various online journal posts; a release date had been set
and that the delay was allegedly due to a certain religions
way. Many assumed this to be about Christianity but
in an interview with The Ocial PlayStation Magazine to
promote his appearance as Edgar in Area 51, and other
later statements, it became clear the objection most likely
originated from the Church of Scientology as Manson,
who previously attended meetings but was unimpressed,
had drawn upon the story of Jack Parsons and the novel
Sex and Rockets for the book.[1]
Manson commented on the novel in November 2005 saying that he would like to release it as either a graphic
novel or narrative video game.[10] Chuck Palahniuk has
partially read the novel and describes it as a magical,
surreal, poetic story, crammed with detail and cut loose
from traditional boring ction.[11] Magician and friend
of Manson, Rudy Coby, revealed in an interview in October 2010 he has made it one of [his] missions in life to
make sure that Holy Wood is released.[12]
On August 22, 2014, Kurt Sutter held a live chat that featured Manson via Skype. When a viewer asked if the
Holy Wood novel will ever be released, Manson said that
he would like to do a video mini-series following the story
of the book. A release date has not been set.

Manson:
Redenition of horror genre Manson has stated his

aim for the project is to redene the horror genre and
bring it back to the days of Roman Polanski, Ingmar
Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock. Its kind of a return to
Hitchcock-style psychological horror about letting your
mind do the damage and sometimes what you dont see
is scarier. I wouldn't say it will be like a modern horror lm. It wouldn't be like what people are used to seeing today. But I think by being traditional, sometimes
like a Hitchcock, its almost modern, because people are
so used to seeing special eects. I have a magician that
I've hired to do my special eects. I don't want any CGI.
I want only in-camera, so I have a magician whos my
special-eects man. I just want to be unconventional by
being traditional.[13]
Soundtrack Manson has mentioned that so far the music has been based on some of the score Chris Vrenna
originally created for American McGees Alice incidentally, Manson himself was originally supposed to work
on the McGee soundtrack[19] He intends to be working with Twiggy Ramirez, Tim Skold, Rob Holliday and
Ginger Fish on the original soundtrack and previously unreleased Marilyn Manson's songs but has added that he
doesn't want to over extend himself as he has other responsibilities, i.e. acting and directing. Madonna Wayne
Gacy possibly contributed prior to leaving Marilyn Manson.
Marilyn Manson does mention the possibility of there being at least one unoriginal song used in one of his lms:
Theres a song thats a huge inuence on the way the
movie ends called 'In Every Dream Home a Heartache'
Manson has stated that Phantasmagoria will be some- by Roxy Music, and it very well might make its way into

12.2 Independent touring

Prior to embarking on any ocial tour under the wing of
a major label, Marilyn Manson spent several years touring independently at various locations in Florida such as
Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Miami Beach, South Hallandale and Davie, among various other one-night venues.
During this time, the band is known to have left Florida
only three times to perform. Until August 1992, the band
played these shows as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky
Kids. The band played these independent shows from
April 28, 1990 until June 4, 1994.
After the bands second show, which Manson has described as the bands rst real performance, Zsa Zsa
Speck and Olivia Newton Bundy were removed from the
band. They were replaced by the next performance by
Madonna Wayne Gacy who hadn't yet attained a keyboard
so instead played with toy soldiers onstage in the meantime, and Gidget Gein, guitarist of local band Insanity
Assassin, respectively.

During the rst two years of the bands existence, they

had recorded a core set of songs that they would perform
favorably, some that would never be performed again following the independent shows. The following list contains
the most commonly played songs in the order they were
most generally performed:

During the Spooky Kids-era, the concerts featured several antics among which were girls covered in blood
and wearing animal masks whilst locked in metal cages,
women ironing Nazi ags onstage and keyboardist

The band was on the tour from September 5, 1996 until September 16, 1997, quickly gaining notoriety for the
numerous protests from religious and civic groups such as
the American Family Association it garnered as a result
of the bands anti-Christian stance.
The tour was managed by major record label Interscope
Records. Its name is derived from the song Dried Up,
Tied and Dead to the World. Select footage from the
Dead to the World Tour was chronicled in the concert
lm: Dead to the World on VHS in 1997 and released in
1998.
12.3.1 Tour overview

Performance
Marilyn Manson is known for their bombastic and controversial stage theatrics as well as for putting together a
massive production.
During the Dead to the World tour, the background was a
church vitral of Jesus, accompanied by a set of long stairs
from which Manson walked down in order to perform the
opening piece, Angel with the Scabbed Wings.
Self-mutilation was a recurring element. For "Man That
You Fear" the microphone was covered with white owers. There was also a snow- or ash-like eect used mostly
for Cake and Sodomy and Cryptorchid.
A podium with the Antichrist Superstar logo was used for
the main song, with the complete band wearing helmets.
Manson would rip the pages of a bible, making this one
of the most controversial and challenging moments of the
tour.
Marilyn Manson played the guitar for Dried Up, Tied
and Dead to the World and The Minute of Decay, also
plays the pan ute for Kinderfeld.

12.4 Mechanical Animals Tour

Mechanical Animals was a worldwide tour by the band
Marilyn Manson in support of their third LP album
Mechanical Animals, released on September 15, 1998.
The tour extended from late 1998[1] to early 1999 and
was recorded in 1998 for the VHS-format God is in the
TV which was released on November 2, 1999.
The Mechanical Animals European Festival Tour was
supposed to be the rst leg of the tour. This particular
leg of the tour consisted of six dates to be played at various European festivals planned as the debut of followup material to Antichrist Superstar two months before
the release of Mechanical Animals. This leg of the tour
spanned from June 25, 1998 until July 12, 1999.
Reportedly, drummer Ginger Fish became ill with
mononucleosis. This led the band to cancel the entire
summer European leg and postpone the beginning of the
tour to October 25, 1998.
Beginning on October 25, 1998 and lasting until January

31, 1999, the Mechanical Animals Tour included two

Incidents
As with the bands preceding 1997 world tour, Dead to

the World, the Mechanical Animals Tour met with heavy
resistance from civic and religious leaders. The rst of
these protests occurred on October 19, 1998. A month
before a planned performance at the Landmark Theatre
in Syracuse, New York, local activists began calling for a
cancellation of the engagement. According to Associated
Press, then-Syracuse Mayor Roy Bernardi attempted to
block the venues permit, citing a moral obligation to
the people of Syracuse, without specifying any reason
for his objections. Onondaga County ocials also attempted to extort the Landmark into halting the event
by threatening to withhold $30,000 in county funds earmarked for the venue, prompting the venues bookers to
consider dropping the show altogether. Despite this, representatives for the Landmark started selling tickets on
the day it was planned and the performance took place
on the arranged date and venue.[5]

Broadcasts and recordings
Various shows were recorded on the tour but there was

no specic information about which dates. A 40-minute
short lm was released on VHS entitled God Is in the T.V.
following the tour, however it only contained short live
clips from various shows. Widely heralded as the bands
best tour, their 2012 comeback sparked interest in the
release of an uninterrupted live DVD of this tour. It is
not known if the full recordings exist of the performances
shown in God Is in the T.V.. The only full live recordings
available are bootleg from their January 23, 1999 concert
in Sydney, Australia during their headlining stint at the
Big Day Out Music Festival. The video is of mediocre
quality. A rare partial recording of the bands concert on
November 16, 1998 in Detroit, Michigan and unedited
aftershow promotional interview also exist.

12.5 Beautiful Monsters Tour

The Beautiful Monsters Tour was a North American
concert tour co-headlined by American rock bands Hole
and Marilyn Manson. Launched in support of each bands
respective third full-length studio LPs, 1998s Celebrity
Skin and Mechanical Animals,[N 1] the tour was planned
to run from February 28, 1999 until April 27, with 37
shows conrmed. However, due to a highly publicized
altercation between the bands respective lead vocalists,
the tour only visited arenas until March 14, for a total
of 9 shows before Hole withdrew from the bill. The tour
garnered a large amount of media attention and was billed
by MTV as a potentially volatile mix due to the public
feud between each bands outspoken vocalist.[1]
The co-headlining tour was conceived by Holes management company, Q Prime. Hole singer Courtney Love
teased the press that she aimed to launch a tour with
Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette. However,
Holes management aggressively pursued Marilyn Manson's eponymous band, even amid the quarrel between
Love and Manson. Both aired their objections in the
press. Nevertheless, the groups agreed to tour together
provided that costs and revenue were split 50/50.
The tour was marred by onando stage exchanges between Love and Manson, as well as private disputes over
the tours nancial arrangements, which resulted in Hole
unwittingly nancing most of Mansons production costs
which was disproportionately higher relative to their own.
After Hole left, Marilyn Manson continued the tour under the name Rock Is Dead, despite that name being used

by American rock bands Korn and Rob Zombie for their

own concurrent joint tour. Marilyn Manson released two
recordings that documented portions of the tour: a live
video album titled God Is in the T.V. and a live album
titled The Last Tour on Earth. Love and Manson nally
reconciled their dierences in 2015, more than 15 years
after the end of the tour.
12.5.1
Plans for a joint tour were conceived by Holes management company, Q Prime, during the bands stint at the
1999 Big Day Out music festival in Australia in order
to support their third studio album Celebrity Skin.[2][3]
Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson admitted that the band itself had anxiously been awaiting their rst full-scale
U.S. tour for some time, but their previous attempts kept
falling apart because we couldn't nd someone to tour
with. Erlandson said he was just psyched to hit the
road with anybody".[1] Hole frontwoman Courtney Love
toyed with the idea of touring with Canadian pop rock
singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette in the press. During
an interview on Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM,
Love claimed her opinions on Morissette had changed.
She had previously maligned Morissettes pop work as being too commercial [for Morissette] to ever be considered a genuine feminist symbol.[2] Nevertheless, Love,
who was one of the most prominent and prolic gures
of feminist music in the 1990s, began to see Morissette
as a positive inuence on female empowerment.[2]
I'm not mad that he said he'd kick my ass, I just don't want
to be used in the same sentence with Courtney Love.
An example of the insults Marilyn Manson made at the
expense of Love in the press before the tour. The quote
was Mansons response to the closing lyrics of the New
Radicals song "You Get What You Give", wherein both
he and Love were panned.[4]
In 1998 and 1999, Love and rock singer Marilyn Manson
were engaged in a highly publicized feud and regularly
traded insults with each other in the press. Love took
oense to Mansons depiction of her in his autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell.[5] In spite of their
disagreement, Holes management aggressively pursued
a joint tour with Mansons eponymous rock band.[1][2]
Manson was initially reluctant to accept the oer. He had
reservations about Love, whom he pejoratively described
in an interview with NME as an opportunist whom he
felt tried to exploit his bands new-found fame to bolster
hers. He noted that Love never attempted to befriend him
until he had sold a million records.[N 2] Love also voiced
her concerns about touring with Manson, whose explicit
stage shows, she felt, were potentially deleterious to her
young daughter, Frances Bean.[2][5] Despite their mutual
hostility, Manson accepted the oer to support his bands
own third studio album.[2] He joked that he agreed to the
tour because he realized what better role models to lead
the youth of America into the new millennium than us

two? So it had to be done.[7]
During their negotiations, both sides agreed that the opening act from the inaugural show until their scheduled performance on April 4 in Philadelphia would be Mansons
option, stoner rock band Monster Magnet. A dispute
arose on who would take over. According to Erlandson
and Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur, the two groups
had a two-hour meeting to arrive at a resolution. Manson and his band voted for early 1980s Brit-pop groups
like Fun Boy Three and Fine Young Cannibals, while
members of Hole wanted more modern bands. Auf der
Maur noted that we want romance and they want theater.
We want love and they want shtick. We had to explain to
them that those kinds of bands make them look good, but
us look silly.[1] Eventually, Mansons band ceded the selection of the subsequent opening act to Love, who chose
Imperial Teen.[8] During their negotiations, both bands
agreed to split the cost of producing each show, which
resulted in Hole unwittingly nancing most of Mansons
disproportionately higher production costs at their own
expense. The revenue earned at each show would be split
50/50 between the two bands.[5][9]
12.5.2 Promotion and naming

Love ocially announced Mansons attachment to the
tour on January 6, 1999 by phoning in to the MTV show
Total Request Live. She told host Carson Daly, Yeah,
Brian [real name of frontman Marilyn Manson] wants
it, claiming that the two had reconciled and had mutual admiration. She also conrmed the lineup for each
respective date on the tour.[10] The tour was scheduled
to begin on February 28, 1999 with 37 dates conrmed,
spanning a total of 8 weeks. Tickets retailed for $30 and
the concerts were to be hosted at 10,000-20,000 capacity
venues.[7]
The name Beautiful Monsters was fashioned by Auf
der Maur as an acknowledgement of both bands roots in
dark, angry and abrasive alternative rock music, and their
transformation in sound and appearance for each of their
respective third albums. The allusion also extended to the
polarity between each groups approach to the change.[1]
Both bands undertook an evolution of their sound overseen by the same producer, Michael Beinhorn. Whereas
Hole opted for an alternative pop update of the California
sound in the L.A. tradition of bands like The Doors, The
Beach Boys and The Byrds, Manson shifted to hedonistic 1970s glam rock inspired by David Bowie, T. Rex
and Gary Glitter.[1][11] Auf der Maur thought it a perfect
complement. We bring on the light after they've dragged
out the dark. Its two dierent worlds, so I can't see how
one could make the other look bad. Theirs is black and
ours is white.[1]

by Hole. He acknowledged the existence of a war between us and Hole, and predicted that the latter would
not be a part of the tour for much longer. Love also
spoke to MTV and cited serious production issues as the
cause of the rift. She conrmed that she and her band
seriously considered leaving the tour but that both bands
would meet over the weekend ahead of the March 14,
1999 performance at The Forum in Inglewood, California to discuss their concerns and resolve their conict.[6]
Less than a day after Love announced the probability
of her band leaving the tour, DJ Bill Abbate of Bostonbased radio station WCBN FM read a press release issued
by Cambridge, Massachusetts-based tour promoter Don
Law Concert Promotions, stating that Hole had already
withdrawn from the double bill. The release was sent to
several alternative rock radio stations in the Boston area.
Hole spokesperson Gayle Fine and Don Law public relations director Pamela Fallon challenged the announcement. Fine did not guarantee that Hole would be on the
tour after March 14, 1999, but she assured ticket holders that the band would perform at the March 13, 1999
concert at The Pond and The Forum. News of Holes
possible departure put the future of the tour into question among industry experts. Industry trade publication
Pollstar's editor-in-chief Gary Bongiovanni commented,
Historically, Manson has gotten arena-level press but not
sold-out arenas.[3]
Holes departure
On March 14, 1999, Hole ocially announced their withdrawal from the tour as they took the stage at The Forum
arena. Love cited public ridicule as well as the inability
of the two groups to resolve the nancial issues related
to Mansons expensive production among their reasons.
Due to their 50/50 arrangement, Hole inadvertently subsidized a huge portion of the large cost of mounting Mansons shows which depleted their revenue.[5][9] At their nal performance, Love told the audience, We're history
after this. You'll get to see the crack of someones ass
(a reference to Mansons habit of dropping his pants onstage). It will be fun.[15] Manson suered a hairline fracture on one of his ankles during their performance later in
the evening. His injury caused the tour to be temporarily
suspended.[5]
12.5.4
Aftermath
Further information: Rock Is Dead Tour
and August 11, 1999 at the Riverbend Music Center

in Cincinnati, respectively.[16][17][18] Marilyn Manson resumed the tour on March 21, 1999, renaming it the Rock
Is Dead Tour after their single "Rock Is Dead", despite
the fact that the name was already being used by American rock bands Korn and Rob Zombie for their own concurrent joint US tour.[19] Manson kept all of the remaining scheduled engagements intact.[8]
Imperial Teens billing was withdrawn in favor of
Grammy-nominated American psychobilly band
Nashville Pussy, who took over the opening act slot from
Monster Magnet beginning from the April 2, 1999 concert at the Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina until the completion of all North American
dates on the tour. Manson explained to MTV that the
initial inclusion of Imperial Teen on the tour was by
Courtneys request. I think we're probably better o,
because that would've been an additional torment for
our fans that they didn't need. He added that while he
enjoyed their music on CD, he felt there was too much
dierence in their musical and performance approach
for their continued inclusion on the tour to work.[8]
Marilyn Manson released a live video album on November 2, 1999 titled God Is in the T.V., which contained unreleased footage including a behind-the-scenes backstage
look at some of the experiences the band underwent during the Beautiful Monsters Tour. He claimed it claried
the real motive for Holes departure. He added, Theres
a really great speech [Love] gives about me and her insecurity and lack of fans at the concerts. Although it disparages her somewhat, I nd it very amusing. He also released a live album on November 12, 1999 titled The Last
Tour on Earth that documented curated performances by
his band from various concerts during the tour.[20]
2015 reconciliation
More than 15 years after the tour ended, Love and Manson settled their dierences and reconciled. In December 2014, Love posted a picture on the social networking service Instagram of her, Manson and their mutual
friend Billy Corgan[N 6] sitting together with a caption
that read all hatchets buried.[21][22] In an interview with
Esquire magazine on January 20, 2015, Manson elaborated on their reconciliation[N 7] which prompted a sarcastic response from Love on the social networking service
Twitter.[N 8]

We didn't work any scenes together (on American television series Sons of Anarchy), but I saw her on the red
carpet. Her dress broke, and I said, You okay? Your

Thank God! That would've been horrible!" That was the
only time I fucked with her. Other than that, I'm cool with

CHAPTER 12. TOURS

Inauguration of the Mechanical Christ was created as
an intro for Marilyn Manson, who would appear xed to a
crucix made out of television sets as it rose from beneath
the stage.
Marilyn Manson would also pose as an ocer during
Irresponsible Hate Anthem and as a nale, Mansons
backup singer would arrive as a second ocer with a shotgun. The shotgun would re into Mansons back, splattering blood unto the crowd. With Manson having been
'murdered', his body would be dragged from the stage.
The podium scene during Antichrist Superstar continued

to appear for the track of the same name. This led to a

tour launched in support of their third full-length studio
LP, Mechanical Animals, which was released on September 15, 1998.
The tour was essentially a rebranding of the Marilyn
Manson and Hole co-headlined Beautiful Monsters
tour.[1][2][3] While it was initially successful, Beautiful
Monsters was marked by numerous and well-publicized
fracases between the frontperson of each band on and
o-stage.[4] The discord caused a fallout between the
two groups which resulted in Holes departure from the
playbill.[5][6] Marilyn Manson decided to continue the
tour and gave the opening act, Monster Magnet, equal
billing as co-headliner for Rock is Dead.[7]
12.6.2 Incidents
The renaming caused a minor dispute as Korn and Rob

Zombie were already in the middle of a tour of the same
name.[9] This particular tour consisted of 45 dates spanning from March 17, 1999 until August 8, 1999.
The rst two performances were canceled after Manson
sprained his ankle during the nal Beautiful Monsters
show in Los Angeles and rescheduled for later dates.[5]

for the victims, explaining, Its not a great atmosphere
to be out playing rock 'n' roll shows, for us or the
fans.[12][13][14] However, Manson steadfastly maintained
that music, movies, books or video games are not to
blame, stating,[12][13][14]
Columbine aftermath
A day after the shooting, State Senator Dale Shugars
(R-Mich.) attended the bands concert, along with policy advisers, a local police ocer and the state senates sergeant-at-arms, at the Van Andel Arena in Grand
Rapids, Michigan to conduct research for a proposed
bill he had been authoring which would require parental
warnings on concert tickets and promotional material for
any performer that had released a record bearing the
Parental Advisory sticker in the last ve years.[16] According to Shugars, the show began with the singer wearing
satanic wings as he leapt from a cross that was eventually set on re.[16] He then described seeing fans, whom
he described as normal kids, under [Mansons] control
as he performed a sequence that gloried the killing of a
police ocer.[16] Finally, he reported the singer recounting a dream sequence in which cops perform sex acts on
him before Jesus Christ descended out of a sky made of
LSD and told him the real name of God is Drugs.[16]
After which, the band launched into "I Don't Like the
Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)".[16] Shugars expressed
concern that these shows had adverse eects on concertgoers, I think theres something going on that you can't
see from the outside.[16] He concluded that "[t]his whole
thing is part of a drug-cultural type of thing, with a subculture of violence and killing and hatred, and anti-family
values, anti-traditional values, anti-authority and added
that We're having an alarming rate of killings in schools,
and youth violence and an increase in drugs. I would say
that though they're not all to be blamed on a shock entertainer like Marilyn Manson, I think he promotes it and
can be part of the blame.[16]

cesation of his companys distribution of music that glories violence to children.[21] The signatories were eight
Republicans and two Democrats, namely, U.S. Senator
Wayne Allard (R-Colo.), U.S. Senator Ben Nighthorse
Campbell (R-Colo.), U.S. Senator Susan Collins (RMaine), U.S. Senator Tim Hutchinson (R-Ark.), U.S.
Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), U.S. Senator Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), U.S.
Senator John Ashcroft (R-Mo.) and U.S. Senator Je
Sessions (R-Ala.).[20] The letter particularly pointed out
the band, among others, for producing songs that glorify
death and human destruction which eerily reect the
actions of Harris and Klebold.[21]
Eleven days after the Columbine massacre, Marilyn
Manson wrote an op-ed piece for Rolling Stone, titled
Columbine: Whose Fault Is It?", where he rebuked the
ensuing political and media witch hunt and castigated
the sad fact that America puts killers on the cover of
Time magazine, giving them as much notoriety as our favorite movie stars [...] Don't be surprised if every kid
who gets pushed around has two new idols.[22]
A few days later, on May 4, 1999, a hearing on the
marketing and distribution practices of violent content
to minors by the television, music, lm and video game
industries was conducted before the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.[23] It was chaired by U.S. Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and composed of eleven Republicans and
nine Democrats, including U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (RUtah.) and U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.)
as well as cultural observers, professors and mentalhealth professionals that included William Bennett and
the Archbishop of Denver, Reverend Charles J. Chaput.[23] The band was among those criticized by the
participants, besides fellow label-mate Nine Inch Nails
and the 1999 Wachowski brothers lm The Matrix, for
their alleged contribution to the environment that made
a tragedy like Columbine possible.[23] Senator Hatch
thought that Manson truncated his bands US tour because
he or she or whatever the case might be realizes that he
can be tremendously booed and that his work is tremendously oensive.[23] Among the invited guests, the CEOs
of four of the worlds major music distributors declined to
attend.[23] This was denounced by Bennett who said their
absence, nevertheless, amounted to a "[p]ublic shaming.
My hunch is they will continue to ignore you like they did
today.[23] Outside observers such as Nina Crowley, director of the anti-censorship organization Mass Mic, expressed chagrin regarding the hearings, commenting that
it was a very stacked-looking thing.[23] Hilary Rosen,
president and CEO of the RIAA, shared this opinion and
thought it was staged as political theater [...] They just
wanted to nd a way to shame the industry, and I'm not
ashamed.[23]
On April 25, 1999, conservative pundit William Bennett and longtime Manson critic[17] U.S. Senator Joseph
Lieberman (D-Conn.) pointed the group as a contributing
factor to the massacre during their appearance on Meet
the Press.[18] Three days later, the city of Fresno, California unanimously passed a resolution condemning Marilyn Manson or any other negative entertainer who encourages anger and hate upon the community as an oensive
threat to the children of this community.[19] Councilman Henry Perea, the resolutions author, said, If people
were on the street and engaged in some of the same behaviors that [Manson] demonstrates onstage, they'd probably be arrested.[20] In Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
students were barred from wearing Marilyn Manson Tshirts[19] The next day, ten U.S. Senators, spearheaded
by U.S. Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), signed and Senators Brownback, Hatch and Lieberman concluded
sent a letter to Edgar Bronfman Jr., president of Inter- the proceedings by requesting an investigation from the

partment of Justice on marketing practices of the entertainment industry to minors.[23][24] The following month,
President Bill Clinton granted that request adding that
Kids steeped in the culture of violence do become desensitized to it and more capable of committing it.[24][25]
The release of the FTC report on September 13, 2000
would later lead then-Democratic vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman to propose introducing legislation that would levy criminal punishment against distributors who participate in marketing and distributing
adult-oriented media to minors.[26][27][28][29] The Media
Marketing Accountability Act was introduced by Senator
Lieberman on June 2001, co-sponsored by U.S. Senator
Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).[30][31]

When being introduced, Manson was pulled onstage on

a steampunk variation of a Roman chariot by two naked
girls, in a bigae formation, wearing stylized Roman horse
masks. After dismounting from the chariot wearing a
skirted version of his signature black leather bondage ensemble, replete with the Imperial gallic, a burst of heavy
reworks would signal the beginning of the rst song.[8]
During performances of The Love Song, Manson

would wear the Bishops outt, which would then be

Manson would perform, wearing the same Bishops attire, kneeled behind a prayer kneeler that is bookended
12.7 Guns, God and Government with two severed heads bearing his own likeness.
Tour
This article is about the tour. For the video, see Guns,
God and Government.
Guns, God and Government was a worldwide arena
tour by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was
the eighth tour the band embarked upon and the fourth
to span over multiple legs. It was launched 17 days
ahead in support of their fourth full-length studio album, Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death),
which was released on November 14, 2000 in the US and
Australia.[1][2] Beginning on October 27, 2000 and lasting until September 2, 2001, the tour included six legs
spanning Eurasia, Japan and North America with a total
of 107 completed shows out of 109 planned.[1]
During some shows, there would be two dancers onstage.

The podium that was used in previous tours during performances of "Antichrist Superstar" also returned, this
time sporting a new design of a crucix made of guns, instead of the lightning bolt symbol previously used. During the February 24, 2001 show in Moscow, Russia, two
Russian military guards were asked to stand on each side
of the podium as Manson sang The Love Song, replete
with his Allgemeine SS-style peaked police cap.[9]
In performances of Cruci-Fiction in Space, Manson
would be lifted 12 meters (40 feet) into the air on a platform hidden by the giant conical skirt, much like in the
Disposable Teens video. Images would often be displayed in the stage backdrop, including a parody of the
Hollywood Sign rewritten as Holy Wood, the cover for
the "Disposable Teens" single, and a scorched American
ag.[10]
Typical of the band, their shows drew numerous

protesters and resistance from civic and church leaders
as well as other elements of local communities. The contentious Denver show, during the Ozzfest leg of the Guns, 12.7.2 Incidences
God and Government Tour,[3] was also featured during
Marilyn Mansons interview in Michael Moore's 2002 The inaugural North American leg of the Guns, God and
Government Tour suered two separate cancellations.[11]
documentary lm Bowling for Columbine.[4]
On November 25, 2000, during the bands performance
at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, Marilyn
Manson drummer Ginger Fish suered a broken collarbone after falling from his drum riser during the bands
Typical of the band, the concerts were extremely stage-trashing nale. The drummer was escorted to hostheatrical.[2] An average show lasted for 1 hour and 40 pital by the bands manager where he was treated and
204
released. According to an Interscope spokesperson, the
band is not expected to miss any dates due to the injury
and that Fish will play with his injured arm in a sling.[12]
However, on December 5, 2000, the band cancelled their
scheduled performance, at the Toledo Sports Arena in
Toledo, Ohio, ten minutes before the doors opened due
to Fish reaggravating his injured collarbone.[11]
The band was also forced to cancel their scheduled performance at the Omaha Civic Auditorium on December
12, 2000 after a storm inundated Peoria, Illinois, where
the band performed on December 11, 2000 at the Peoria
Civic Center, with 9 inches (23 cm) of snow and blizzardcondition winds, preventing the band from being able to
travel.[11]
Protests and controversy
On November 19, 2000, Christian activists unsuccessfully attempted to have the bands performance at the
Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York cancelled.
Thus, the show was attended by demonstrators who harassed concert-goers waiting in line by shouting and
chanting Why do you follow the devil?" The city was
forced to send a number of policemen, some on horseback, to monitor the situation. Clips from the show were
made available on the bands ocial website (though it is
no longer present).[13]
Marilyn Mansons performance in Denver, Colorado on
June 22, 2001 at the Mile High Stadium also drew attention from the national news media.[3][14] The event was
part of their commitments with the heavy metal festival
tour Ozzfest and marked the bands rst performance in
the state since the Columbine High School massacre in
nearby Littleton, Colorado on April 20, 1999.[3][14] The
band was initially blamed for inciting shooters Eric Harris
and Dylan Klebold into killing their classmates, though
these reports would later be proven to be false.[3][14] The
band initially pulled out due to scheduling conicts, however, the group later altered their plans in order to accommodate the Denver date.[14] The band met heavy
resistance from conservative groups and the performer
received numerous death threats and calls to skip the
date.[15][16] A group of church leaders and families related
to the Columbine tragedy formed an organization specifically to oppose their show called 'Citizens for Peace and
Respect', which drew the support of Colorado governor
Bill Owens (R-Colo) and representative Tom Tancredo
(R-Colo). The group held a rally outside the Mile High
Stadium where organizer, youth pastor Jason Janz, delivered a speech stating, If Marilyn Manson can walk into
our town, promote hate, violence, suicide, death, drug
use and Columbine-like behavior, I can say, 'Not without a ght you can't.'" Janz further said, We don't think
Manson caused Columbine, but he encourages and legitimizes Columbine-like behavior.[3][14][17] Marilyn Manson responded to the assertions of 'Citizens for Peace and
Respect' by issuing a statement saying,
CHAPTER 12. TOURS

A group of Marilyn Manson supporters also responded to
'Citizens for Peace and Respect' by forming an organization called 'Citizens for the Protection of the Right to Free
Speech'.[3] The group held a rally in front of the Colorado
State Capitol where organizer Carrieanne Andrews, a
mother of three, stated that We just wanted to show that
Jason Janz does not speak for our entire community and
that they resented being told how to be good parents.[3]
The Denver show would later provide the backdrop for
Mansons landmark interview on Americas climate of
fear and culture of gun violence in Michael Moore's
2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine. When Moore
asked what he would have said if he had the opportunity to speak to the students at Columbine, he replied,
I wouldn't say a single word. I would listen to what they
have to say and thats what no one did.[4]
Another incident took place leading up to The Gig On
The Green festival on August 25, 2001 in Glasgow,
Scotland. Members of the Glasgow community were
calling for Marilyn Mansons performance at the festival to be boycotted.[19] Beth Nimmo, the mother of the
Columbine killers rst victim, Rachel Scott, joined in the
protests and told Scottish tabloid newspaper Daily Record
on August 8, 2001, I don't doubt that his kind of music denitely aects young people and can desensitize
them. People need to be strong enough not to listen to
it. There is nothing entertaining about real violence. It
has real consequences and brings nothing but destruction
and pain.[19] In a separate incident, a Catholic Charismatic Renewal group protested in early August 2001 at
the Glasgow city centre, where the Glasgow City Council were deciding on the nal licensing application for
Gig On The Green. This was due the inclusion of both
Eminem and Marilyn Manson on the bill. Both attempts
failed.[19]
Lawsuits
In a civil battery suit, David Diaz, a security ocer from
a concert in Minneapolis, on October 27, 2000, sued for
$75,000 in a Minneapolis federal court.[20][21] The federal
court jury found in Mansons favor.[22]
In a civil suit presented by Oakland County, Michigan,
Manson was charged with sexual misconduct against another security ocer, Joshua Keasler, during a concert in
Clarkston, Michigan, on July 30, 2001. Oakland County
originally led assault and battery and criminal sexual
misconduct charges,[23] but the judge reduced the latter
charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.[24] Manson
pleaded no contest to the reduced charges, paid a $4,000
ne,[25] and later settled the lawsuit under undisclosed
terms.[26]

Arrests
On February 5, 2001, Marilyn Manson was arrested by

the Italian police following the bands performance at the Festival Tours
Palaghiaccio in Marino, Italy in relation to the controversy surrounding the Milan court case of the stabbing God Bless America (Intro)
death of a nun by two girls.[27] Following a police raid
on the home of the two suspects, Italian police uncov Irresponsible Hate Anthem

The band leader, however, was let go due

by the groups music to carry out their actions.
Disposable Teens
The next day, Manson was arrested again following the
groups show at the Palamalaguti in Bologna, Italy.[27]
The Fight Song
This time, the singer was charged with public indecency

UK magazine Kerrang! praised "[the Guns, God and
Government Tour,] honed by the best part of four months
playing the enormodromes of America, is the greatest
spectacle this side of a New Years reworks display [...]
this is rock n' roll reinvented as grand theatre.[7] Robert
Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times, however, found himself unimpressed with the tired sound and cheap theatrics of this tour, commenting, Manson can go on teasing his fan base with his Grand Guignol circus show, but
its hard to imagine in the age of Eminem and other hardcore rappers that he is still even in the Top 10 on parents
most-feared list. That makes him seem severely dated-and he doesn't do much to correct the impression. For
someone with the ambition and possibly the talent to be
the new David Bowie, Manson appears resolved to settling for the new Alice Cooper. Manson is a smart, articulate, likable guy. Hes too talented to be wasting his
time chasing the ghost of Alice Cooper.[29][30]

vest with a long, open black skirt. During The Dope

and wore a top hat for mOBSCENE. At some shows,
the black vest also had a silver strip running down it.
When the tour moved to Europe, the band sported a Vic- 24. The Reecting God
torian dress style. Though the skirt remained similar,
Mansons vest then sported blue-velvet frills, and his entry 25. Suicide Is Painless (outro)
jacket had a Black Plague theme (as did the hat worn during The Nobodies that was meant to look like a plague
doctors), with real chicken bones sewn on in the shape of Opening songs

12.9 Rape of the World Tour

Rape of the World was a worldwide arena tour by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was the tenth tour the
band embarked upon and the seventh to span over multiple legs. It was launched 10 days ahead in support of their
sixth full-length studio LP, Eat Me, Drink Me, which was
released on June 5, 2007 in the US. Beginning on May 26,
2007 and lasting until March 2, 2008, the tour included
seven legs spanning Europe, Oceania, Japan and North
America with a total of 122 completed shows.
12.9.1
For this tour Manson returned to the theatrics of the

Grotesk Burlesk Tour, some inuenced by Alice in Wonderland. These are the elements contained in the shows:
209
of The Beatles song, "Happiness is a Warm Gun"
before The Dope Show, and then using the next
section of the song as an introduction to The Reecting God.
A lifted tile with Manson standing on it, performing The Reecting God, in a similar manner much
like past performances of Cruci-Fiction in Space
(from the Guns, God and Government Tour) and
Para-Noir (from the Grotesk Burlesk Tour).
Backgrounds of interactive animations, including:
Irresponsible Hate Anthem": A rapidre montage of words like Love, Hate,
Drugs, Sex, God, and Death, which
was later used for The Reecting God instead and replaced with a transcription of a
news story about a 2007 school shooting in
Finland.
Just a Car Crash Away": A heartbeat line
from a life support monitor which makes two
Ms across the screen
You and Me and the Devil Makes 3": A video
of Mansons mouth singing, created in the style
of the iconic red lips of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The video also contains clips of the
Hindenburg disaster.
"The Dope Show": A continuously rotating
pill with Eat Me written on the front and
the Cross of Lorraine on the back. Later in
the tour, to begin the song, a scan of Mansons cocaine-lined American Express Corporate card (with the numbers changed).
Manson performing If I Was Your Vampire in Florence.
Others include the red eyes with hearts from

the Eat Me, Drink Me booklet, and the Les
Fleurs du Mal (alternate version) painting.
A microphone in the shape of a knife.
On some occasions, the stage is lled with (presumably fake) candles during the opening song "If I Was
Your Vampire".
During the rst ve legs of the tour, during "The
Fight Song", the stage was set up like a boxing ring,
and Manson wore a boxers entrance robe. The
microphone hung from the ceiling like a ring announcers microphone.
During The Dope Show, the line the drugs, they
say, are made in California would sometimes be
changed to include the name of the city or country
its being performed in (these lyrical changes were
not new to this tour however). On most occasions,
the name of the city is shown on the screen in the
back along with the word Drugs. A newer addition to the songs performance, beginning at the Halloween show at The Palms, was Manson singing part
A huge chair for Are You the Rabbit?"

On some occasions, a robot of Evan Rachel Wood
entered the stage during "Heart-Shaped Glasses
(When the Heart Guides the Hand)". The mannequin would push a cart with a birthday cake and a
bottle of Mansinthe placed on it. Also on the table is
a camera that Manson used to take a Polaroid photo
of the Evan robot, which he would then throw into
the crowd. In some performances, Manson would
take the head o of the mannequin and sing the song
to it, and then take the glasses of it and wear them,
throwing them into the crowd. He has also removed
the mannequins arms and put them around himself.
In several shows, red and black confetti is blown over
the crowd during Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the
Heart Guides the Hand)". Also during "The Beautiful People", sometimes white confetti is used.

At the culmination of the show, usually during The

separation barrier. In an interview with MTV Denmark, Manson said he added the feature so that the
show doesn't become too impersonal.

Various samples of early songs like Sweet Tooth,

Vegas are used as interludes while new stage props
are set up in between songs.

Initially, Manson took to the stage wearing a leather
jacket with cut-o gloves and a black, long-sleeved shirt
to perform the opener, "If I Was Your Vampire" and the
follow-up, "Disposable Teens". When rst performed as
an encore on the European tour, Manson took to the stage
for either Are You the Rabbit?" or The Nobodies (and
in the case of Paris, "EAT ME, DRINK ME"), wearing
a striped white-gold, long-sleeved shirt. Manson later replaced the long-sleeve shirt for a black T-shirt with cut
o sleeves. When the butchers knife microphone debuted, Manson performed the rst song like this but also
wore black, elbow-length gloves. On certain dates, Manson wore silver pants with his black shirt. If I Was Your
Vampire then began to be performed in a black frilly
shirt and a black feather boa and pink gloves for Are
You the Rabbit?".
Following on from his appearance with Alice Cooper,
Manson began to take to the stage in a T-shirt depicting a cartoon of a bunny rabbit, or on later occasions,
a cut-o T-shirt with a skeleton chest on. Costume
changes on these dates after the distinctly nontheatrical
European tour rst leg featured a top hat and striped
pants (occasionally a leather trench coat and jacket) for
"mOBSCENE", a jacket with 333 HALF EVIL patched
onto it, and even at some dates, a boxing gown for The
Fight Song with the iconic twisted heart on the front and
the bleeding MM logo on the back, as well as a white
jacket, reminiscent of Elvis Presley, for "Rock Is Dead"
at later dates. Contrasting these changes, Manson still
performed Antichrist Superstar in the navy blue-red
suit, sometimes changed into a silver version of the rabbit
shirt for later performances of The Beautiful People on
dates on the European tour.

In the vein of the album themes and imagery revolving

dierent act. Replete with cinema-derived stage lighting illuminating Manson, the separation between back"Putting Holes in Happiness"

eect; Manson reapplies his makeup front-and-center on"The Dope Show" (with Happiness Is a Warm stage, stagehands assist with wardrobe changes in full

After much fan speculation and no ocial announcement, Andy Gerold joined Marilyn Manson in the capacity of live bassist after former bassist Twiggy Ramirez
switched to lead guitar duties. Gerold played his rst
show with the band on June 3, 2009, in Brno, Czech Republic. As of 2011, Gerold is still the youngest musician
to play in the band, preceding former drummer Sara Lee
Lucas by nearly seven years. During the summer of 2009,
the band co-headlined the 2009 Mayhem Festival with
Slayer.[4] Later in October 2009, the band headlined the
internationally advertised V-Rock Festival '09.[5]

Coma White"/"Coma Black, a large promotional photo
of his room was used as a backdrop. During European

19891995: Origins, early success, and joint ventures
In 1989, Ted Field began to build Interscope Records
as a division of his lm company, Interscope Communications. To run it, he hired John McClain, who had
played a central role in Janet Jackson's success at A&M
Records, and Tom Whalley, who had been the head of
A&R at Capitol Records. Separately, Iovine, who had
produced records by U2, Bruce Springsteen, and John
Lennon, among others, was trying to raise money to start
a label. I thought, 'Music is going to change,'" Iovine
said in 1997. "'Young bands aren't going to be asking for
me.' But I love working with the new thing. I always liked
the part of the business thats the rst time you hear something, and I knew I wasn't in that business anymore.[6]
Iovine and Field were introduced by Paul McGuinness,

then U2's manager. After a series of negotiations led by
David Geen, they came to an agreement, and in 1990,

Earlier in 1992, Interscope negotiated a $10-million deal
with Dr. Dre and Marion Suge Knight to nance and
distribute their label, Death Row Records. It was initiated by McClain, who met Dre when he was recording
his solo debut, The Chronic. Original plans had called for
the album to be released through Sony, but Sony passed
on The Chronic due to the crazy things going on around
Death Row and the contractual status of Dr. Dre. After
hearing the album Iovine agreed to put it out, although doing so required a complicated distribution agreement with

the labels recordings. MCA was not required to distribute material that it deemed oensive.[20]
Dre left Death Row in mid-1996 due to what was then
reported as tension over the creative direction of the label, and founded Aftermath Entertainment, a new joint
venture with Interscope. In November Aftermath debuted with the album Dr. Dre Presents the Aftermath.
The Death Row deal remained in place until 1998, when
Knight was imprisoned for parole violations.[21][22][23]
In November 1996, with records by Bush, Snoop Dogg,

No Doubt, and Tupac Shakur, Interscope became the rst
label in 20 years to hold the top 4 positions on the Billboard charts. Six additional Interscope releases were in
the Top 100. The label was frequently criticized for overspending on artist acquisitions and joint ventures, howBy the end of the following year, The Chronic had sold ever, with revenue for 1996 estimated at $250 million, it

Interscope signed Madonna and Van Halen in 2011. Both
artists were previously signed to Warner Bros. Records;
both released their rst records for Interscope in 2012.[47]
In October 2012, John Janick was named president and
COO of Interscope Geen A&M. The founder of Fueled
By Ramen, Janick had previous success with artists including Jimmy Eat World, Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the
Disco and Paramore. At the time of his appointment, it

In 2006, Dre and Iovine established Beats Electronics.
Dre had been approached by his attorney to start a line of
sneakers, and when he told Iovine about the idea, Iovine
said: You know speakers, not sneakers. 'Beats by Dr.

at the annual Consumer Electronics Show. It took us
two years to get them right, but when I heard I knew
it was going to be big, Iovine said in 2010. Its just

Black Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow" (#1) and "I Gotta
Feeling" (#4); Lady Gagas "Poker Face" charted at #2
and "Just Dance" was at #3.[44]
Several artists have criticized Interscope for delaying albums. In 2013, M.I.A. said her album Matangi was held
because the label felt the record she turned in was too
positive for her fans.[55] In 2010, rapper Eve left Interscope after a three-year delay of her album Lip Lock.[56]
Blink-182, All Time Low, and 50 Cent have similarly
criticized Interscope.[57]

Kendrick Lamar and Top Dawg Entertainment
On March 15, 2015, rapper Kendrick Lamar's third studio album and second album for Interscope, To Pimp a
Buttery, was released on iTunes, Spotify and Google
Play eight days ahead of its scheduled release date (March
23). The CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment, Anthony
Tith, blamed Interscope for the albums unintentional
release, and tweeted: I would personally like to thank
Interscope for fucking up our release. Somebody has got
to pay for this mistake. #TOP!"[61][62] The Tweet was
later deleted. On the following day, the option to purchase the album was removed from iTunes. The album
debuted at #1 when it was ocially released.[63]

Legal issues
Rockit Cargo
In September 2011, it was reported by federal prosecutors that the Interscope Geen A&M Records building was used by a drug-tracking ring as a transport
center.[64] The Drug Enforcement Administration inspected the year-long case and stated that the Los Angeles oces of Interscope Records were used for pickups and deliveries of hundreds of kilograms of cocaine
in 2010 and 2011. Rock-It Cargo, a shipping company
which has an immense list of musical clients, shipped music cases that allegedly contained drugs to New York City
studios.[65] [66] Interscope Geen A&M responded to the
claims with a statement that read: There is no evidence
that any employee of UMG or Interscope Records had
any involvement in the drug tracking ring being prosecuted by that oce, nor any knowledge of the contents

united in 2015 for a number of shows.[3]
13.4. JACK OFF JILL
13.4.1
History
Tenni Arslanyan met Jessicka while attending Piper High

School in Sunrise, Florida. They had begun writing
songs, but had not yet formed a band when Moulder and
Inhell joined them to create the band that would become
Jack O Jill.
Jack O Jills rst show was opening for fellow Floridian and long time friend Marilyn Manson and his shockrock outt, Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, at a
Davie, Florida night club called The Plus Five Lounge.
Manson went on to take the band under his wing. He
mentored them, produced their early demos and had them
open most of his shows.[4]
During this time the band served as the opening act for
many female fronted national acts such as Joan Jett, L7,
Silversh, Tribe 8, Fetchin' Bones and the Lunachicks.
Singer Jessickas on-stage antics included stripping young
men on stage while the band and crowd taunted the exposed fans, as well as covering the audience with spit
and real blood and candy.[5][6] In early 1993, Jessicka
performed with Mansons ephemeral side project, Mrs.
Scabtree.[7]
On December 27, 1994, Jack O Jill joined Marilyn
Manson on dates through Florida. While playing Club
5 in Jacksonville, Florida, Manson was arrested for violating the towns adult entertainment codes by removing
his pants and exposing himself, although witnesses at the
show never actually spoke about seeing his penis. Jessicka was arrested for solicitation of a minor and oering
to engage in lewdness with two minors. Both singers were
charged with misdemeanors.[8]
Jack O Jill released several independent records: Children 5 and Up (produced by Marilyn Manson),[5] The
Boygrinder Sessions, Cannibal Song Book, (produced
by JOJ and Manson at Studio 13 in Deereld Beach,
Florida)[7] Cockroach Waltz, and several 7 singles. It was
not until April 8, 1994, when JOJ played a benet show
for Rock Against Domestic Violence with Babes in Toyland and 7 Year Bitch at the Cameo Theatre on Miami
Beach that Jack O Jill caught the eye of record labels.[9]
Los Angeles-based Risk Records later signed them in
January 1997. The band replaced both Ah Cha Cha and
Inhell with new members because the two were not ready
to leave Florida. The band released their rst national
7 Girl Scout"/"American Made in March 1997. On
September 9, 1997, their rst full-length Sexless Demons
And Scars (produced by Gumball's leader Don Fleming,
who co-produced Hole's Pretty on the Inside) was released.

mer Claudia Rossi.[10] The new manifestation of Jack O
Jill hit the road on a national tour with Psychotica, joined
along the way by Switchblade Symphony.
The band road-tested new songs in March 1999 when JOJ
played four dates on the Marilyn Manson Rock Is Dead
Tour after Hole departed.[11] With Putesky no longer in
the guitar position, JOJ enlisted the help of Jessickas
then-boyfriend guitarist Clint Walsh, original JOJ guitarist Michelle Inhell (ne Oliver), and drummer Norm
Block (formerly of Plexi) for the tour. On July 17, 2000,
JOJ released their second full-length CD, Clear Hearts
Grey Flowers on Risk Records, that featured a cover by
artist Mark Ryden and was produced by Chris Vrenna of
Tweaker and Nine Inch Nails.
Jack O Jill played its last show at The Troubadour in
Los Angeles in April 2000. They were joined onstage by
guitarist Helen Storer of the UK all-girl band Fluy (and
later of Thee Heavenly Music Association) and producer
Chris Vrenna on drums.[12]
13.4.2 Breakup and aftermath

Jack O Jill ocially disbanded in the year 2000. Jessicka founded noise-pop band Scarling.. Moulder began her studio project TCR. Tenni Ah-Cha-Cha and
Michelle Inhells (ne Oliver) founded Set to Zero. In
2010 Tenni Ah-Cha-Cha began playing with Zombie
Queen out of Asheville, NC. Claudia Rossis founded a
group called One Of The Loudest Tragedies Ever Heard.
Hellen Storers photo defunct project Thee Heavenly Music Association. Putesky is currently working on his solo
project, Three Ton Gate.
Post-breakup, critics have touted JOJ as riot-goth
legends[13] and refer to Jack O Jills nal album as,
excellent, yet under-appreciated.[14]
Former band member Je Tucci (Ho Ho Spade) died in
November 2014.[15]
13.4.3 Reunion
On April 7, 2015, Bust.com announced a Jack O Jill reunion show at The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC on July
18 as well as a Pledgemusic campaign oering Golden
Tickets and other Jack O Jill rarities related to the
show. Other reunion shows in the tour included Manchester (19 October), Londons Electric Ballroom (21 October) and Heaven Nightclub (23rd October), where they
were joined on stage by (Scott Putesky), a founding member of Marilyn Manson. Their last London show was also
on Jessickas birthday, and was an emotional show for
all of the fans and the band, especially due to Jessick'a
health problems.[16] They announced via their facebook
page that these shows would be their last saying, Its been
an honor & a pleasure friends.
After moderate underground success, touring with Lords

of Acid, and playing to sold-out crowds in 1997 , Jack O
Jill headed to Los Angeles in order to complete 1998s

Demons and Scars with the help of SMP (Scott Putesky),

Ocial website
13.6 MarilynManson.com
MarilynManson.com is the ocial Marilyn Manson
website. The website, since its launch in 1998, has been
integral to the promotion and direction of the band. In
the past, Marilyn Manson was known to launch hidden
sites to promote select albums (Mechanical Animals and
Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) prominently), but promotion campaigns by this method have
since been discontinued. Similarly, during the Celebritarian era of the band (following the release of Lest We
Forget), a code that was thought to be hidden was discovered.
Much to fans beliefs that this was intentionally meant to
be found and deciphered, Marilyn Manson recently revealed in a 10-page exclusive interview with The Hierophant that the cause for alarm over the hidden code in
the site was not his intention and it had evolved into something that he did not necessarily approve of. Manson also
stated that his involvement in the Eat Me, Drink Me incarnation of the website launched on April 16, 2007 is
very high, although it wasn't anything he would have said
to create; he really liked the website and the creativity the
designer brought to the table.[2]
13.6.1
History of the website
Antichrist Superstar era
Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) era

On December 15, 1999, a new intro video was placed on
the website, featuring Manson with a shaved head and the
alchemical symbol for mercury painted on his forehead
holding a gun and walking towards the camera. On the
same day, a webcast was launched, which announced the
name of the album, its direction and previewed several
upcoming songs.[3] During the summer of 2000, a second intro was uploaded (featuring Manson with a monkey
clinging to his back) and during the autumn of 2001, it
was replaced with a new intro, which contained numerous
occult and alchemic references and also served as navigation page with links to all of the websites sections. The
main page consisted of four buttons, each of them containing a single letter, with all the letters reading ADAM.
Hovering the mouse pointer over the letters revealed the
words Arktos Dysis Anatole and Mesembria, respectively. ADAM was most probably a reference to
Adam Kadmon, the main protagonist of the storyline of
the Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)
album.
The Golden Age of Grotesque era

The website of The Golden Age of Grotesque era featured
most notably an extensive photo gallery and a journal kept
by Manson, which he stopped updating shortly before the
album release. The preface to the journal was a small
vignette written by Marlene Dietrich. The website itself
had many references to the 30s, including a new Manson
logo (stylized to have an SS emblem-like look) and dierent photos of the era (including those of Go-Go Girls and
Nazi parades) used in the design. Also notable is a section named The Oracle, which allowed fans to ask Marilyn Manson questions, with the most interesting of them
being made public along with Mansons answers.
The website is known to have contained a BBS forum for

fan discussion. The actual dates of this forums existence Lest We Forget era

Albert Speer and a radio translation by Stuart Hibberd

On the news page, the news articles that were not

taken from external sources such as Rolling Stone
but rather from the band itself were credited to The
Celebritarian Corporation.
After a lengthy period whereby fans attempted to decipher the codes, Marilyn Manson revealed that although
he does not deny involvement, the codes developed into
something he didnt necessarily approve of and should no

13.7 Nothing Records

Nothing Records was an American record label specializing in industrial rock and electronic music, founded by
John Malm Jr. and Trent Reznor in 1992. It is considered
an example of a vanity label, where an artist is able to run
a label with some degree of independence from within a
larger parent companyin this case, Interscope Records
was the parent company.
Nothing Records became largely defunct in 2004 due to a
lawsuit by Reznor against John Malm. The label became
inactive as a whole following several further releases

In addition to Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, the
label also signed and released albums from 2wo, Pig,
Pop Will Eat Itself, Prick, 12 Rounds, Einstrzende
Neubauten, The The, and Meat Beat Manifesto. Additionally, Coil was under contract for a record but it was
never delivered (though some of the songs from the slated
Nothing album appeared in reworked form on The Ape of
Naples and The New Backwards). John Bergin was also

copies in the country.
In 2012, Zombie released a second remix album and directed the horror lm The Lords of Salem, which was
released the following year. He released his fth studio album Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor the following year (2013). He directed the upcoming horror
lm 31, and has purchased the rights to a lm about the
NHL team Philadelphia Flyers, titled The Broad Street
Bullies; no release date for the lm has been announced.
Since the beginning of his music career, Zombies music and lyrics have featured notable horror and sci-
themes. His live shows have been praised for their elaborate shock rock theatricality.[10] Since beginning his solo
career, Zombie has sold an estimated fteen million albums worldwide.[11]

Life and career
1965-98: Early life and White Zombie

Robert Bartleh Cummings was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts on January 12, 1965.[12] He is the oldest son of
Robert and Louise Cummings.[13] Robs younger brother,
Michael David Cummings, is the lead singer of the band
Powerman 5000.[14] Growing up, Rob had a fascination
with horror lms, and has stated that he always wanted
to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Bela Lugosi, and
Stan Lee.[15][16] While raising their sons, Robs parents
worked in a carnival,[17] but they chose to leave after a
riot broke out and tents were set on re.[18][19] Zombie
recalled the experience in an interview, stating, Everybodys pulling out guns, and you could hear guns going
o. I remember this one guy we knew, he was telling us
where to go, and some guy just ran up to him and hit
him in the face with a hammer just busted his face
wide open. My parents packed up real quick, and we
took o.[20] Cummings graduated from Haverhill High
School in 1983.[21] He moved to New York City, and he
began attending Parsons School of Design where he met
eventual girlfriend Sean Yseult.[22][23] Before the success
of White Zombie, he was a production assistant for the
series Pee-wees Playhouse.[24]
Rob and Sean served as co-founders for a band that would
become known as White Zombie. Yseult and Zombie
would break up after seven years of dating, though they
continued to work in the band together.[25] The band released three extended plays to little success, with their
debut studio album following in 1987 through the bands
own record label, Silent Explosion.[26] They released their
second studio album two years later, to little commercial
reaction.[27] Yseult and Zombie ended their relationship
in 1991, and Zombie began dating Sheri Moon shortly
afterwards.[28] The band caught the attention of Geen
Records following the release of their fourth extended

play; their third studio album was subsequently released
through the label in 1992.[29] The album became the
bands breakout hit, going on to sell over two million
copies in the United States.[30] Their rst single, "Thunder
Kiss '65", was released through the label in 1993.[31]
White Zombies fourth and nal studio album, AstroCreep: 2000 Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head (1995), became their
rst to enter the top ten of the Billboard 200; it went on to
sell over two million copies in the United States.[30] Rob
directed the music video for the albums single "More
Human than Human" (1995), and would go on to direct all subsequent videos for the band.[32][33] In 1996,
Rob legally changed his name to Rob Zombie.[34] White
Zombie released a remix album that year, marking their
nal release before their eventual disbandment.[35] Zombie collaborated with Alice Cooper on the song "Hands
of Death (Burn Baby Burn)" (1996) for Songs in the Key
of X: Music from and Inspired by the X-Files.[36] The song
was nominated in the category of Best Metal Performance
at the 39th Annual Grammy Awards, though lost to Rage
Against the Machine.[37] White Zombie ocially broke
up in 1998, with Zombie stating Sometimes a band just
breaks up because the band has run its course and the
best days are behind them. White Zombie went through
a lot together and did tons of great stu, but it was time to
stop. The good times were over and we were all moving in
dierent directions.[38] A box-set for the group was released in 2008 featuring all of their released material.[39]
19982001: Solo debut and commercial success

Work on Zombies debut solo album rst began in 1997,
before the band had ocially broken up. For the album,
Rob worked with numerous artists, including Charlie
Clouser of Nine Inch Nails fame and former White Zombie bandmate John Tempesta.[40][41][42][43][44] Zombies
solo debut album, Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside the Spookshow International, was
released on August 25, 1998.[45] The album was a commercial success, debuting at number ve on the Billboard
200 with rst week sales of 121,000 copies.[46] The albums rst week sales topped that of his prior albums
with White Zombie.[47] Hellbilly Deluxe went on to become Zombies highest selling album to date, with sales
exceeding three million copies in the United States.[48]
The album was inuenced by classic horror lms,[49] with
numerous songs on the album containing samples and
quotes from some of Zombies favorite horror lms.[50]
The album spawned three singles, all of which charted
on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[51]
Numerous songs from the album were used in lms and
video games, mainly in the horror genre.[52] The success
of the album led to the release of Zombies rst remix
album, American Made Music to Strip By (1999).[53] The
album entered the top forty of the Billboard 200 in its

metal musicians kept their sound fresh for as long as Zombie, and this album is no exception.[70] The Sinister Urge
was voted as the fans favorite album on Zombies ocial
website.[77] The album is the nal project to feature guitarist Mike Riggs and drummer John Tempesta, who had
been with Zombie since the start of his solo career.
Zombie formed his own record label, Zombie-A-Go-Go

Records, in 1998.[54] The label released the nal album
from American instrumental band The Bomboras,[55] as
well as the debut album from the Ghastly Ones.[54] Both
albums were released on June 2, 1998 though received little critical or commercial success. The label next released
the compilation album Halloween Hootenanny (1998), 200206: Marriage, directorial debut, and continued
featuring appearances from artists such as Reverend Hor- musical success
ton Heat and Rocket From the Crypt.[56] Zombie himself
contributed the song Halloween (She Get So Mean)" to
the soundtrack, which had previously appeared on promotional releases of Dragula (1998). Zombie released
the album Rob Zombie Presents The Words & The Music
Of Frankenstein on October 12, 1999 through ZombieA-Go-Go Records.[57] The album, considered a soundtrack, features the original score and some dialogue from
the original Frankenstein (1931).[57]
Zombie was set to make his directorial debut with the
lm The Crow: 2037, and even wrote the lms script.[58]
The lm was set to take place in the future, though it was
never released.[59][60] It was decided that the lm was not
suited for the franchise, but would instead serve as a standalone project.[61] He composed the original score for the
video game Twisted Metal III, released in 1998.[62] Zombie designed a haunted attraction for Universal Studios
in 1999, which was later deemed instrumental in reviving the Halloween Horror Nights annual attraction.[63] It
was during this time that Zombie began working with
the studio on his directorial debut, a lm titled House
of 1000 Corpses.[64] The project began lming in May
2000 with a scheduled release date of the following year,
though the studio ultimately cancelled its release due to
the violent themes present throughout the lm.[65] Zombies song Superbeast, taken from Hellbilly Deluxe, received a nomination for Best Metal Performance at the
42nd Annual Grammy Awards.[66] Zombie contributed
the song "Scum of the Earth" (2000) to the Mission: Impossible II soundtrack.[67]
Zombies second studio album, The Sinister Urge, was released on November 13, 2001.[68][69] The album expands
on the horror and shock rock elements seen in his debut album, and features collaborations with artists such as
Ozzy Osbourne.[70] The album became his second to enter the top ten in the United States,[71] with its rst week
sales topping that of his previous album.[72][73] The album went on to sell over one million copies in the United
States, his second to accomplish this feat.[48] The album
was preceded by the single "Feel So Numb", with a second single being released the following year.[74] Despite
the albums success, it was noted as a decline in sales
when compared to his rst studio album. The Sinister
Urge and its subsequent singles were met with a positive critical reception,[75][76] with Allmusic writing It is
the slow burn of [the albums] last track that shows the
most promise; after years of making good heavy metal,
he nally expands the boundaries of his own sound. Few

In 2002, Zombie announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Sheri Moon, with a wedding date set for
November 9, 2002.[78] Only ten days before the wedding
date, the couple decided to elope on October 31, 2002.[79]
On the decision, Sheri claimed We were actually taking
a walk in our neighborhood the day before. The wedding date was to be November 9th. We're like, 'Oh, God,
we've been together for nine years. We should just say our
vows privately'. It was just like a spur-of-the-moment decision. It just happens that the next day was Halloween.
We didn't do it for any spooky reasons or anything.[28]
Now married, Moon ocially changed her name to Sheri
Moon Zombie.[28]
Following years of struggling to nd a distributor and
various re-shoots, Zombie conrmed that his lm House
of 1000 Corpses would nally be released through Lions
Gate Entertainment.[80] The lm was released theatrically on April 11, 2003.[81][82] The lm received a generally negative reception from critics, though grossed
over $16 million worldwide.[83] The lm was criticized
for being too grotesque and violent, but has since
garnered a cult following.[84][85][86] Despite vastly negative reviews,[87] the lm garnered a warmer reception
in later years, and is frequently listed as one of the
best horror lms ever made.[88] Zombie worked with
236
Scott Humphrey on the majority of the lms soundtrack,
which was released on March 25, 2003.[89][90] The release features original songs from Zombie such as Pussy
Liquor and Little Piggy, as well as Zombies own
rendition of the Commodores hit single "Brick House"
(1977), re-titled Brick House 2003.[91] The soundtrack
peaked at number fty-three on the Billboard 200, and
number four on the Top Soundtracks chart.[92]
Zombie released his rst compilation album, titled Past,
Present & Future, on September 23, 2003.[93] The release
featured a collection of songs taken from Zombies solo
albums as well as his releases with White Zombie; new
material is also present on the album.[94] The album debuted at number eleven on the Billboard 200, and would
go on to become Zombies third release to sell over one
million copies in the country.[48] Zombie guest starred on
episodes of both Spider-Man: The New Animated Series
and Justice League Unlimited that year, in a voice only
role for both.[95] In November 2003, Zombie launched his
Spookshow International comic book series.[96] His second series, The Nail, spawned four issues between June
and October 2004, while his Bigfoot series lasted from
February to May 2005, featuring four issues.[97][98] Zombies second lm, The Devils Rejects, serves as a direct
sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, and was released on
July 22, 2005.[99][100] The lm featured a more violent
Western lm" theme as opposed to the horror aspects of
its predecessor.[101] The lm received a much more positive reception than its predecessor, though was still criticized for its violence and material.[102] The lm has been
described as one giant loogie that comes straight from
the heart, lled with moments of nihilism and cunning
wit.[103] Much like the rst lm, The Devils Rejects went
on to gain a cult following after its release.[104] The lm
has a 53 out of 100 rating on Metacritic, meaning mixed
to positive reviews.[105] Zombie released a number of The
Devils Rejects comics throughout 2005 to coincide with
the lm.[106]
Zombie began working on his third studio album in 2005,
whilst nishing work on The Devils Rejects; the album
was inuenced by glam rock artists like Slade, T. Rex,
and Gary Glitter.[107] The release was described as experimental by Zombie, who claimed the project featured
numerous acoustic-led songs.[108] The album, Educated
Horses, was released on March 28, 2006.[109] It sold
107,000 copies in its rst week, becoming Zombies third
album to enter the top ten on the Billboard 200.[110][111]
The album received mixed critical reviews, with Rolling
Stone writing A handful of cuts are too long on sludgy
instrumental grooves, but whether Zombie is out-Trent
Reznoring Trent Reznor on the sitar-laden grindfest '17
Year Locust' or spitting re amid the apocalyptic blues
ris of 'The Devils Rejects, he sounds like a gifted
schlockmeister that Strokes fans can enjoy. Or at least
tolerate.[112] The song "The Lords of Salem" was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 51st Annual
Grammy Awards.[113] Educated Horses saw a further de-

cline in sales for Zombie, selling just over 500,000 copies
in the United States. The album became his rst studio album as a solo artist to not receive a certication from the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[48]
It served as Zombies nal studio album to be released
through Geen Records. Zombie had a cameo appearance in a voice only role for the lm Slither (2006).[95]
Zombie released his rst ocial greatest hits album, The
Best of Rob Zombie, on October 10, 2006.[114] The album
was re-released only months later under the title The Best
of Rob Zombie: 20th Century Masters The Millennium
Collection.[115] The project debuted at number 166 on the
Billboard 200, and went on to receive a gold certication
from the RIAA.[48] The album featured no new material,
and was released with little promotion on Zombies behalf. It remains his nal album to receive an RIAA certication to date.[48]
200709: Focus on lm work

Zombie opted to focus on his career as a director in
2007, following the release of his third studio album a
year prior. It was conrmed in 2006 that Zombie had
signed on to write and direct a remake of the horror classic Halloween (1978).[116] Zombie later referred to the
lm as a re-imagining of the original John Carpenter
lm.[117] Zombies version of the lm was ocially released on August 31, 2007.[118][119] Thanks to its opening
weekend of $30.5 million, the lm broke the box-oce
record for the Labor Day weekend, surpassing the record
set in 2005 by Transporter 2 with $20.1 million.[120]
It still currently resides as the top Labor Day weekend
grosser.[121] The lm went on to become Zombies highest
grossing release to date.[122][123] Despite these achievements, the lm was generally panned by critics upon its
release.[124] Based on 109 reviews collected by Rotten
Tomatoes, Halloween received an average 25% overall
approval rating based on 110 reviews, with the consensus Rob Zombie doesn't bring many new ideas to the
table in Halloween, making it another bloody disappointment for fans of the franchise.[125] Zombie directed a ctitious trailer for a lm Werewolf Women of the SS, which
was featured in the lm Grindhouse (2007).[126][127] That
same year, Zombie released his rst live album, Zombie
Live.[128]
Zombie announced work on a new lm, Tyrannosaurus
Rex, which was slated for release in 2009; the lm
was ultimately scrapped.[129][130][131][132] Despite previous comments made by Zombie that he would not
do a sequel to Halloween, it was later announced he
would both write and direct the series next lm, tentatively titled H2.[133][134] H2 was ultimately the reason
for the postponement and eventual cancellation of Tyrannosaurus Rex.[135] Halloween II was released on August
28, 2009.[136][137] The lm received a worse critical reception than Zombies original remake, and failed to
achieve the commercial success of the remake but it was
13.8. ROB ZOMBIE

a box oce success never less.[138] Unlike the original
Halloween II (1981), Zombies version of the lm focused
on the prior lms survivor and the eects that the lms
events had on her mentality.[139][140][141] Following the
completion of the lm, Zombie conrmed he would not
make another sequel.[142] Variety Magazine announced
the weekend before the release of Halloween II that Zombie would be directing a remake of the 1950s lm The
Blob.[143] Zombie later chose to back out of the lm as
he didn't want to do another remake.[144]
The day that Halloween II was released, Zombie and
Jesse Dayton released the album Rob Zombie Presents
Captain Clegg And The Night Creatures, based on the
band featured in the lms party scene.[145] The album
was released through Zombies own Zombie-A-Go-Go
Records, the rst album released through the label in almost ten years.[146] There were initial reports of a lm
centering around Captain Clegg, though the project never
materialized.[147] Dayton later toured in character as the
band as the opening act for Zombie throughout 2009 and
2010.[147] The release of Rob Zombie Presents Captain
Clegg And The Night Creatures marks the nal release
from Zombie-A-Go-Go Records, before Zombie formed
his new Zodiac Swan label in 2013. Zombie was the
executive producer of the animated lm The Haunted
World of El Superbeasto, based upon his comic book series The Adventures of El Superbeasto.[148] The series previously appeared in his Spookshow International comic
book. The lm was released in limited showings at selected theaters on September 12, 2009, and to DVD on
September 22, 2009.[149] It features the voices of Tom
Papa, Paul Giamatti, Zombies wife Sheri Moon Zombie, and Rosario Dawson. The lm received a generally
mixed reaction upon its release.[150]

which served as his rst international tour since beginning his solo career.[163][164] The tour featured 150 dates,
spanning over a two-year time span.[165] Zombie released
the Icon greatest hits album on October 5, 2010 through
Roadrunner Records.[166]

201015: New label and return to music
Zombie launched his seventh and nal comic book series, Whatever Happened to Baron Von Shock?, in 2010;
the series spawned four issues.[167] Zombie had another
voice-only role in the 2010 lm Super, portraying God.[95]
In 2011, Zombie directed a horror-themed commercial
for Woolite.[168] Zombie announced work on the horror
lm The Lords of Salem in 2011.[169] The lm, whose
name is derived from the Rob Zombie song of the same
name, is about a coven of witches in modern-day Salem,
Massachusetts.[170] In an interview Zombie said that the
lm would be his cinematically biggest lm and described
it as if Ken Russell directed The Shining".[171] The Lords
of Salem premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2012, with a limited theatrical release following in April 2013.[172][173] The Lords of Salem
became the last lm of veteran actor Richard Lynch, who
died in 2012.[174][175][176]
It was announced in 2009 that Zombie had begun working on his fourth studio album, the follow up to his 2006
album Educated Horses.[151][152][153] Prior to the release
of the album, it was conrmed that Zombie had parted
ways with longtime label Geen Records, penning a new
deal with Roadrunner Records.[154] Zombie later claimed
that Geen had morphed into a dierent label and that
being signed didn't work for [him] anymore.[155] The album was conrmed to be titled Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble
Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool, with Zombie describing it as a sequel to
his 1998 debut as they sounded similar in both vibe and
attitude.[156] Hellbilly Deluxe 2 was released on February 2, 2010.[157][158] The album sold 49,000 copies in its
rst week of release, becoming his fourth top ten album
in the United States.[159][160] The album received a mixed
to positive critical reception upon its release.[161] Zombie
released a special edition of the album on September 28,
2010 featuring three new songs.[162] Zombie promoted
the release through his Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour,
Zombie later stated that Tyrannosaurus Rex would be his

next released lm after The Lords of Salem, though the
project has since been put on hold for a second time.[177]
In 2012, it was conrmed that Zombie would be writing and directing a lm titled The Broad Street Bullies,
which would be based on the Philadelphia Flyers hockey
team.[178][179] The lm will be Zombies rst non-horror
lm.[180][181] He has since stated that the lm was in
the research stages, and a release date is unknown.[182]
Much like Tyrannosaurus Rex, the lm, along with Rock
Bottom Creek, has been put on hold indenitely. Zombie
released a second remix album, titled Mondo Sex Head,
on August 6, 2012.[183] The album featured remixed material from Zombies rst four studio albums, as well as his
releases with White Zombie.[184] The album was released
through Geen Records, despite Zombie having left the
label.[185] Zombie embarked on the Twins of Evil Tour
with American rock band Marilyn Manson beginning on
September 28, 2012.[186] The tour concluded following
a publicized feud between the artists while on tour, with
the two groups often feuding while on stage.[187] The tour
238
ocially concluded on December 12, 2012.[187]
Recording for Zombies fth studio album began in June
2012,[188][189] with Zombie announcing the then-untitled
project in July 2012.[190] On the record, Zombie claimed
We just want to make a dark, heavy, weird record
and stick to that idea [...] If something comes up that
isn't, we won't nish it. We'll stick to the plan.[191][192]
Zombie parted ways with Roadrunner Records, instead
releasing the album through his new record label Zodiac Swan through Universal Music Enterprises and TBoy Records.[193] On January 30, 2013, Zombie announced that the album was titled Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor.[194] The album was released on April 23,
2013.[195] Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor became
Zombies fth consecutive studio album to debut inside
the top ten of the Billboard 200, though it boasted his
lowest rst week sales of his career.[196] The album has
since became Zombies lowest selling album to date.[48]

yet to receive a release date.[211] Zombie is set to launch
his Spookshow International pinball machine in February 2016.[212][213][214][215] The limited edition item features ten of Zombies classic songs, as well as voice contributions from Zombie, Sheri Moon, and Sid Haig.[216][217]
13.8.2 Artistry
Musical style
Zombies music has been noted for its use of horror
and suspense elements,[218][219] which is inspired by
Zombies love of horror lms.[220] Zombies music also
contains elements commonly found in heavy metal
music.[221][222][223] Zombies music has been described
as melding metal with industrial, hypnotic rhythms and
haunting sounds and having a complicated beat, distinctive vocals and a killer story line.[224] Zombies songs
have also been known to feature quotes and samples from
classic horror lms.[225] Numerous songs on his debut album, Hellbilly Deluxe, feature quotes from classic horror
lms that Zombie grew up with.[50] Zombie has classied himself as a metal musician, and stated It felt like
hard rock and heavy metal had really been struggling you
know, like top of the charts it felt like they were being
kicked to the curb for a long time. It was almost like you
were doing something but you feel like nobody cares anymore so now youre just chuggin along doing what you do
and its like the world had forgotten. However its felt like
in the last few years thats kind of changed and you feel it
coming back.[226]
Zombie designed and launched the Great American

Nightmare haunted attraction in 2013.[197] The attraction,
based in Chicago, featured references to Zombies lms
and other signicant horror events in pop culture.[198]
He designed the attractions Lords of Salem Total Black
Out, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto 3D, and
House of 1000 Corpses, which were combined with
a music festival from artists in hard rock, alternative,
EDM, and more in 2013.[199] In 2014, Zombie had the
voice-only role of Ravager Navigator in the superhero
lm Guardians of the Galaxy.[200] He released his rst
video album, The Zombie Horror Picture Show, on May
19, 2014. He released his second live album, Spookshow
International: Live, on February 24, 2015.[201]

his prior releases.[233] Hellbilly Deluxe 2, Zombies fourth
studio album, saw a return to the heavy metal sound of
Hellbilly Deluxe 2:
his early releases.[234] The album was considered a direct
Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehusequel to his debut studio album, with whom it shares
manization of Cool (2010)
a name. Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor continued
[195]
these themes, and features bass-heavy beats.
The
Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor (2013)
record was deemed a throwback to his debut album due
to similar lyrical and sonic themes.[195]
The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser (2016)[202]
Inuences and style
Both Zombies music and lm work draws inuence from
classic horror and suspense lms, with Zombie citing
the 1970s as the last great time where lms were being made for the sake of the lm and not for the sake of
the money.[235] Zombie has cited artists such as Alice
Cooper,[236] KISS,[237] Queen,[238] and Elton John[239]
as inuences during his childhood.[240] Zombie claimed
that the rst record he ever bought was an Alice Cooper
album.[241] He has cited Coopers style and costumes as
an inuence on his own.[242] Metallica and Twisted Sister were also cited as inuences by Zombie.[243] Zombie
claimed his mother would not allow him to watch horror
lms, namely The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974),[244]
which later served as an inuence on Zombies lms
House of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects.[245] Zombie has directed the majority of his music videos as a
solo artist, with numerous releases being inuenced or
referencing horror lms. The music video for his single "Living Dead Girl" is based upon the silent horror
lm The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920),[246] while his
video for Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Kroovy)"
was heavily inspired by A Clockwork Orange (1971).[247]
His lm The Lords of Salem was inspired by the horror
classic The Shining (1980).[248] Since he began working
with White Zombie, Rob has been known for his long
hair and beard.[249] Zombie claimed that he has not cut
o his beard[250] since he was able to grow one, and began growing his hair out in 1984.[251] Zombie has been an
ethical vegetarian for over 30 years[252] and later turned
vegan along with his wife Sheri.[253] He is a supporter
of PETA.[252] Zombie neglects to share his political and
religious beliefs with the public, though claims that at
one point his mother contemplated becoming a nun. He
chooses to avoid alcohol and substance abuse, stating I
certainly didn't achieve anything by being wasted and
fucked up.[254]

and was an independent recording artist until signing with

Columbia Records in 2012.
Reznor was associated with the bands Option 30, The
Urge, The Innocent, and Exotic Birds in the mid-1980s.
Outside of Nine Inch Nails, he has contributed to the
albums of artists such as Marilyn Manson and Saul
Williams. He and his wife, Mariqueen Maandig, are
members of the post-industrial[10][11] group How to Destroy Angels, alongside Reznors fellow composer Atticus
Ross and long-time Nine Inch Nails graphic designer Rob
Sheridan.[10][12]
Early musical projects

While he was a student at Mercer Area Junior/Senior
High School, Reznor joined local band Option 30 and
played three shows a week with them. After a year of college, Reznor dropped out and moved to Cleveland, Ohio,
to pursue a career in music.[17] His rst band in Cleveland was the Urge, a cover band.[21][22] In 1985, he joined
The Innocent as a keyboardist; they released one album,
Livin' in the Street, but Reznor left the band after three
months. In 1986, he joined local band Exotic Birds and
appeared with them as a ctional band called The Problems in the 1987 lm Light of Day. Reznor also contributed on keyboards to the band Slam Bamboo during
this time.[23]
Reznor and Ross scored the David Fincher lms The

Social Network (2010), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), and Gone Girl (2014), winning the Academy
Award for Best Original Score for The Social Network and
the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. In 1997,

Reznor has continued in this role on most of the bands
studio recordings, though he has occasionally involved
other musicians, assistants, drummers and rhythm experts. Several labels responded favorably to the demo
material and Reznor signed with TVT Records.[24] Nine
selections from the Right Track demos were unocially

songs appeared in revised form on Pretty Hate Machine,

He built a studio space in the house, which he renamed
Le Pig, after the word that was scrawled on the front door
in Sharon Tate's blood by her murderers.[30] Reznor told
Entertainment Weekly that, despite the notoriety attached
to the house, he chose to record there because he looked
at a lot of places, and this just happened to be the one I
liked most.[30] He has also explained that he was fascinated by the house due to his interest in American folklore, but has stated that he does not want to support
serial-killer bullshit.[31]
Nine Inch Nails toured extensively over the next few

years, including a performance at Woodstock '94, although he admitted to the audience that he did not like
Nine Inch Nails
to play large venues.[32] Around this time, Reznors studio perfectionism,[33] struggles with addiction, and bouts

North American Fragility Tour out of his own pocket.
A further six years followed before the next Nine Inch
Nails album, With Teeth was released. During the intermediary period between the two records Reznor went into
rehab, and was able to manage his drug addictions. After With Teeth Reznor released the concept album Year
Zero, which has an alternate reality game themed after
the album (see Year Zero (game)) which is about how the
current policies of the American government will aect
the world in the year 2020. After Year Zero's release in
2007 Reznor broke from large record labels, and released
two albums, Ghosts I-IV and The Slip independently on
his own label, The Null Corporation. In 2009 Nine Inch
Nails went on hiatus, following the Wave Goodbye Tour.
In 2013 Nine Inch Nails returned to large record labels,
signing with Columbia Records. In September the album
Hesitation Marks was released, and earlier, in August, the
ongoing Tension 2013 tour began.

Collaboration with other artists
One of Reznors earliest collaborations was a Ministry

side project in 1990 under the name of 1000 Homo
DJs. Reznor sang vocals on a cover of Black Sabbath's
"Supernaut". Due to legal issues with his label, Reznors
vocals had to be distorted to make his voice unrecognizable. The band also recorded additional versions with Al
Jourgensen doing vocals.[35] While there is still debate
as to which version is Reznor and which is Jourgensen,
it has been denitively stated that Reznors vocals were
used in the TVT Records' Black Box box set.[36] He also
performed with another of Jourgensens side projects,

1991, and won a Grammy Award in 1993 under Best

Reznor then sang the vocals on the 1991 Pigface track
Suck from their rst album Gub, which also featured
Steve Albini.[39][40] Reznor sang backing vocals on Past
the Mission, on Tori Amos' 1994 album, Under the
Pink.[41] He produced Marilyn Manson's rst album,
Portrait of an American Family (1994), and several tracks
on Mansons albums Smells Like Children (1995) and
Antichrist Superstar (1996). Relations between Reznor
and Manson subsequently soured, and Manson later said:
I had to make a choice between being friends and having
a mediocre career, or breaking things o and continuing
to succeed. It got too competitive. And he can't expect
me not to want to be more successful than him.[42]
Reznor produced the soundtracks for Oliver Stone's 1994
lm Natural Born Killers and David Lynch's 1997 lm
Lost Highway. He is credited for Driver Down and
Videodrones; Questions on the Lost Highway soundtrack; another song, "The Perfect Drug", is credited to
Nine Inch Nails. Reznor produced a remix of the Notorious B.I.G.'s song Victory, featuring Busta Rhymes,
in 1998.[43] Under the stage name Tapeworm, Reznor
collaborated for nearly 10 years with Danny Lohner,
Maynard James Keenan, and Atticus Ross, but the project
was eventually terminated before any ocial material
was released.[44] The only known released Tapeworm
material is a reworked version of a track called Vacant (retitled "Passive") on A Perfect Circle's 2004 album eMOTIVe,[45] as well as a track called Potions on
Puscifer's 2009 album C Is for.
In 2006, Reznor played his rst solo shows at Neil
Young's annual Bridge School Benet. Backed by a four
piece string section, he performed stripped-down versions of many Nine Inch Nails songs.[46] Reznor featured
on El-P's 2007 album I'll Sleep When You're Dead, providing guest vocals on the track Flyentology. Reznor
co-produced Saul Williams' 2007 album The Inevitable
Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! after Williams
toured with Nine Inch Nails in 2005 and 2006. Reznor
convinced Williams to release the album as a free download, while giving fans the option of paying $5 for higher
quality les, or downloading all of the songs at a lower
quality for free.[47][48] Reznor was also credited as Musical Consultant on the 2004 lm Man on Fire.[49] The
movie features six Nine Inch Nails songs.[50] He has produced a number of songs for Janes Addiction in his home
studio in Beverly Hills. The rst recordings, new versions
of the early tracks Chip Away and Whores, were released simultaneously on Janes Addictions website and
the NINJA 2009 Tour Sampler digital EP.
In November 2012, Reznor revealed on Reddit that he
would be working with Queens of the Stone Age on a song
for their sixth studio album, ...Like Clockwork.[51] He had
worked with the band once before, providing backing vo-
In January 2013, Reznor was seen in a documentary entitled Sound City, directed by former Nirvana drummer
and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl.[52] Sound City is
based on real-life recording studio Sound City Studios,
originating in Van Nuys, California. It has housed the
works of some of the most famed names in music history
since its founding in 1969. The lm has been chosen as
an ocial selection for the 2013 Sundance Film Festival
and will be available to download from its ocial website on February 1, 2013.[53] Reznor also contributed to
the soundtrack for the lm, on the track "Mantra", along
with Dave Grohl and Josh Homme.[54][55]
Reznor appeared in a live performance with Fleetwood
Mac's Lindsey Buckingham, Dave Grohl, and Queens of
the Stone Age at the January Grammy Award ceremony.
In an interview with a New Zealand media outlet, Reznor
explained his thought process at the time that he was considering his participation in the performance:
How to Destroy Angels
In April 2010, it was announced that Reznor had formed a
new band with his wife, Mariqueen Maandig, and Atticus
Ross, called How to Destroy Angels. The group digitally
released a self-titled six song EP on June 1, 2010, with
the retail edition becoming available on July 6, 2010.[57]
They covered the Bryan Ferry song Is Your Love Strong
Enough?"[58] for the soundtrack for The Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo, which was released on December 9, 2011.
On September 21, 2012, Reznor announced that the
groups next release would be an EP entitled An Omen EP,
set for release on Columbia Records in November 2012,
and that some of the EPs songs would later appear on
the bands rst full-length album in 2013.[59][60] On October 8, 2012, they released a song and music video[61]
from An Omen EP entitled Keep it Together.[62] How
to Destroy Angels announced in January 2013 that their
rst full-length album entitled Welcome Oblivion would
be released on March 5 of the same year.[63]
As an independent artist
Following the release of Year Zero, Reznor announced
later that Nine Inch Nails had split from its contractual
obligations with Interscope Records, and would distribute
its next major albums independently.[64] In May 2008
Reznor founded The Null Corporation and Nine Inch
Nails released the studio album The Slip as a free digital
download. In his appreciation for his following and fan
base, and having no contractual obligation, he made The
Slip available for free on his website, stating This ones
on me.[65] A month and a half after its online release,
The Slip had been downloaded 1.4 million times from the

that Reznor had composed and performed the theme music for Call of Duty: Black Ops II.[75]
Film composition In 2001, Reznor was asked by Mark

Romanek to provide the score for One Hour Photo, but
the music did not work for the lm and was not used.
These compositions eventually evolved into Still.[76] A
remix of the Nine Inch Nails track "You Know What
You Are?" by Clint Mansell was used as part of the latters soundtrack to the 2005 lm adaptation of Doom. In
2009, Trent Reznor composed Theme for Tetsuo for
the Japanese cyberpunk lm Tetsuo: The Bullet Man from
Shinya Tsukamoto.[77]

In February 2009, Reznor posted his thoughts about the
future of Nine Inch Nails on NIN.com, stating that I've
been thinking for some time now its time to make NIN
disappear for a while.[67] Reznor noted in an interview on
the ocial website that while he has not stopped creating
music as Nine Inch Nails, the group will not be touring in
the foreseeable future.[68][69]
Video games The original music from id Software's
1996 video game Quake is credited to Trent Reznor and
Nine Inch Nails";[70] Reznor helped record sound eects
and ambient audio, and the NIN logo appears on the nailgun ammunition boxes in the game.[71] Reznors association with id Software began with Reznor being a fan of
the original Doom. He reunited with id Software in 2003
as the sound engineer for Doom 3, though due to time,
money and bad management,[72] he had to abandon the
project, and his audio work did not make it into the games
nal release.
Reznor collaborated with Ross to compose the score for

David Fincher's The Social Network, a 2010 drama lm
about the founding of Facebook. Says Reznor, When
I actually read the script and realized what he was up
to, I said goodbye to that free time I had planned.[78]
The score was noted for portraying Mark Zuckerberg
the genius, developing a brilliant idea over ominous
undertones,[79] and received nearly unanimous praise
across the board. The lms score was released in October 2010 in multiple formats, including digital download, compact disc, 5.1 surround on Blu-ray disc, and
vinyl record.[80] A 5-song sampler EP was released for
free via digital download.[81]
On January 7, 2011, Reznor announced that he would
again be working with Fincher, this time to provide the
score for the American adaptation of The Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo.[82] A cover of "Immigrant Song" by Led
Zeppelin, produced by Reznor and Ross, with Karen O
(of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) as the featured singer, accompanied a trailer for the lm.[83] Reznor and Ross second collaboration with Fincher was scored as the lm was
shot, based on the concept, What if we give you music
the minute you start to edit stu together?" Reznor explained in 2014 that the composition process was a lot
more work, and that he would be hesitant to go as far
in that direction in the future.[84]
Reznor and Ross again collaborated, to score Finchers
lm Gone Girl.[85] Fincher was inspired by music he heard
while at an appointment with a chiropractor and tasked
Reznor with creating the musical equivalent of an insincere facade. Reznor explained Finchers request in an interview:
Richard Butler of The Psychedelic Furs sang a cover version of the song "She, which was used in the lms teaser
trailer.[87][88] The soundtrack album was released on the

15 years in the future.[74] In July 2012, it was announced until that point: I'm open to any possibility ... Scoring for

lm kind of came up unexpectedly. It was always something I'd been interested in and it was really a great experience and I've learned a lot. Reznor further explained
that he cherishes his previous experiences with Fincher,
as Theres a pursuit and dedication to uncompromised
excellence.[90]

Business activity
Suit and counter-suit with John Malm

In 2004, Reznors former manager John Malm Jr. led
suit in the United States district court of Ohio against
Reznor for over $2 million in deferred commissions. The
suit alleged that Reznor reneged on every single contract he and Malm ever entered into, and that Reznor
refused to pay Malm payments to which he was contractually entitled.[91] Weeks later, Reznor led a counter-suit
in the U.S. District Court of New York, charging Malm
with fraud and breach of duciary duties.[92] Reznors
suit arose from a ve-year management contract signed
in the early days of Nine Inch Nails, between Reznor
and Malms management company J. Artist Management.
This contract, according to the suit, was unlawful and
immoral in that it secured Malm 20% of Reznors gross
earnings, rather than his net earnings, as is the standard practice between artists and their management. The
suit also alleged that the contract secured this percentage
even if Malm was no longer representing Reznor, and for
all Reznors album advances.[93] The suit also described
how Malm had misappropriated the ownership rights regarding Nine Inch Nails, including the trademark name
NIN.[94] According to testimony by Malm, Reznor gave
him half of the NIN trademark as a gift.[94]
co-founder Jimmy Iovine as having hardware, brand,

distribution partnerships, and artist relations to dierentiate Daisy from the competition.[97] There was some
speculation as to what Reznors role would be within
the company, but he was later named chief creative ofcer.[98] He promised that he and the other members
would strive to create a music subscription service that
will be like having your own guy when you go to the
record store, who knows what you like but can also
point you down some paths you wouldn't have necessarily encountered.[99] The service was ocially launched
in the United States on January 21, 2014.[100]
Reznor has continued on in a similar role under Beats
new ownership at Apple, where he has been involved in
the launch of Apple Music.[101]
13.9.4 Criticism of the music industry
In May 2007, Reznor made a post on the ocial

Nine Inch Nails website condemning Universal Music
Groupthe parent company of the bands record label,
Interscope Recordsfor their pricing and distribution
plans for Nine Inch Nails 2007 album Year Zero.[102] He
labeled the companys retail pricing of Year Zero in Australia as ABSURD, concluding that as a reward for
being a 'true fan' you get ripped o. Reznor went on
to say that as the climate grows more and more desperate for record labels, their answer to their mostly selfinicted wounds seems to be to screw the consumer over
even more.[103] Reznors post, specically his criticism
of the recording industry at large, elicited considerable
media attention.[104] In September 2007, Reznor continued his attack on Universal Music Group at a concert in
Australia, urging fans there to steal his music online inReznor stated that he began to fully understand his - stead of purchasing it legally.[105] Reznor went on to ennancial situation after tackling his addiction to drugs courage the crowd to steal and steal and steal some more

$400,000 in liquid assets. It was not pleasant discovering you have a 10th as much as you've been told you Return to major labels

13.9.5
Musical style and inuence
Reznor possesses a baritone vocal range.[108] He is a fan

of David Bowie, and has cited Bowies 1977 album Low
as one of his favorite albums. Reznor has stated that
he played the album constantly during the recording of
The Downward Spiral for inspiration.[19] In 1995, Nine
Inch Nails toured as a co-headlining act on the North
American leg of David Bowies Outside Tour. Reznor
also appeared in Bowies video for "I'm Afraid of Americans", cast as Bowies stalker. Reznor also made several
remixes for the single release of the same song, as well
as a remix of "The Hearts Filthy Lesson".[109] Reznor
also states in the 2010 documentary Rush: Beyond the
Lighted Stage that the band Rush had played a major
part in his childhood inuences.[110] He also stated that
he considered Rush to be one of the best bands ever
and had gained a perspective on how keyboards could be
introduced into hard rock after listening to their 1982
album Signals. Reznor also stated "Freddie Mercury's
death meant more to me than John Lennon's and covered
Queen's "Get Down Make Love", which was produced by
Paul Barker and Al Jourgensen of Ministry and released
on the single for "Sin". He also expressed the signicant
inuence that Coil had on his work, saying that Horse
Rotorvator was deeply inuential.[111] In many interviews with Musician, Spin, and Alternative Press, Reznor
mentioned Devo, The Cars, The Jesus and Mary Chain,
My Bloody Valentine, Pere Ubu, Soft Cell,[112] Prince,
Ministry,[113] Gary Numan, and The Cure's 1985 album,
The Head on the Door, as important inuences.[114] According to Todd Rundgren, Reznor told him that he listened to Rundgrens 1973 album, A Wizard, a True Star
with great regularity.[115] In a radio interview, Reznor
stated the rst song he ever wrote Down in It was a total rip-o of the Skinny Puppy song "Dig It.[116]

enced by and much admires Reznors production work,
in particular The Fragile.[121] Timbaland, one of pop musics most successful producers in recent years, has cited
Reznor as his favorite studio producer.[122]
13.9.6 Awards
In 2011, Reznor and Ross won the Golden Globe Award
for Best Original Score[123] and the Academy Award for
Original Score[124] for their work on The Social Network.
For their work on Girl with a Dragon Tattoo, Reznor and
Ross were nominated for the 2012 Golden Globe Award
for Best Original Score, and won the 2013 Grammy
Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media. Neither Reznor or Ross were present to accept the award, but
Reznor published a thank you on his Twitter prole.[125]
Ross and Reznors Gone Girl score was nominated for
Best Original Score in a Feature Film at the 5th Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA)the award
was eventually won by Antonio Sanchez for Birdman on
November 4, 2014.[126] In a November 2014 interview
with the Hollywood Reporter, Reznor revealed that he values Oscar trophies above Grammy awards: When the
Oscar [nomination] came up, it felt very dierent. I can't
tell if thats because I'm older or it felt like its coming
from a more sincere pedigree.[84]
13.9.7 Personal life
During the ve years following the release of The Downward Spiral, Reznor struggled with depression, social
anxiety disorder, and the death of his grandmother (who
raised him). During this period of intense grief, he began
abusing alcohol, cocaine, and other drugs. He eventually
became addicted to alcohol and cocaine. He reached his
darkest moment with substance abuse while touring in
London for The Fragile, when he mistakenly purchased
