"Part of me is afraid to get close to people because I'm afraid that they're going to leave." - Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson, born Brian Hugh Warner, is the lead singer of the Los Angeles based alternative rock group of the same name. Warner chose the name, a combination of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson, to illustrate what he considered to be the extreme dualism of late 20th century American culture. The stage name of each band member was originally created by combining the first name of an iconic female sex symbol and the last name of an iconic mass murderer or serial killer, though this naming convention has not extended to new band members after the mid-90s.
Formed in 1989 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, the band's uniquely theatrical performances gathered a local cult following that developed over time into a worldwide fanbase. By the late 1990s the band was considered one of modern music's most widely-known and controversial acts; this was due, in large part, to Manson's then-frequent clashes with religious and political groups. Manson's lyrics often receive criticism for their anti-religious sentiment and for references to sex, drugs, and violence (albeit typically in the abstract as opposed to any specific depiction). The band's music and performances have frequently been called offensive and obscene. Protests and petitions have sometimes led to the group being banned from performing. (read more)
Listen Now
Kill everyone that wasn't beautiful.
And I don't want ya, and I don't need ya,
Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat ya,
It's not your fault that you're always wrong,
The weak ones are there, justify the strong,
The beautiful people, the beautiful people,
It's all relative to the size of your steeple,
You can't see the forest, for the trees,
You can't smell
your own shit on your knees!
The Beautiful People Lyrics

- Nice. I have a lens about the band itself. Well, I guess parts of it are about Manson as the man, but the focus is on the band, I suppose. Check it out. http://www.squidoo.com/mmanson
