Marilyn Manson
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Marilyn Manson is a band. It is also the name the group's lead singer goes by. His real name is Brian Warner and was born January 5, 1969 in Canton, Ohio. He adopted the persona and went in music after meeting Trent Renzor, lead singer for Nine Inch Nails, while interviewing him for a magazine he was working for while attending college in Florida. The name is a combination of the first name of actress and sex symbol, Marilyn Monroe and the last name of cult leader and convicted murderer, Charles Manson (many other members of the band have created their stage names in the same way, by combining the first name of a famous female sex symbol and the last name of an infamous serial killer). The original name of the group was Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids in 1989. A professed Satanist, he has been widely criticized and protested for his views and performances by many Christian organizations. Marilyn Manson self-proclaimed himself as the "AntiChrist Superstar" (which was the name of one of his albums).
Marilyn Manson has also remixed and remade a number of songs including:
- Sweet Dreams
- I Put A Spell On You
- Working Class Hero
- Come Together
- Golden Years
- Tainted Love
- Personal Jesus, and Sick City, originally written and performed by Charles Manson.
While he himself did not perform the song, he did remix Linkin Park's song "By Myself" from their first album. On of his most popular songs is The Beautiful People in 1996.
