<small>Love him or hate him, the self-proclaimed "Antichrist Superstar," [[Marilyn Manson]], was indisputably among the most notorious and controversial<br>
entertainers of the 1990s. Celebrated by supporters as a crusader for free speech and denounced by detractors as little more than a poor man's [[Alice Cooper|Alice<br>
Cooper]], Manson was the latest in a long line of shock rockers, rising to the top of the charts on a platform of sex, drugs, and Satanism. Though widely<br>
dismissed by critics, his brand of metal nevertheless struck a major chord with the youth market – on the strength of a masterfully orchestrated<br>
marketing campaign, he became a mainstream anti-hero, much to the chagrin of conservative politicians and concerned parents. Manson was born<br>
Brian Warner in Canton, OH; at the age of 18, he relocated to Tampa Bay, FL, working there as a music journalist. In 1989, he became friends with<br>
guitarist and fellow outsider Scott Mitchell; they decided to form a band, with Mitchell rechristening himself [[Daisy Berkowitz]] and Warner adopting<br>
the name Marilyn Manson.

With the addition of bassist [[Gidget Gein]] and keyboardist [[Stephen Bier|Madonna Wayne-Gacy]], the group – originally dubbed [[Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids]] –<br>
began self-releasing cassettes and playing gigs, their gothic stage show notable for Manson's elaborate makeup and homemade special effects.<br>
Jettisoning their drum machine in favor of one [[Sara Lee Lucas]], the band's sound began taking on a harder edge, and by 1992 they were among the<br>
most popular acts in the south Florida area. In 1993, [[Nine Inch Nails]]' [[Trent Reznor]] came calling, offering both a contract with his [[Nothing Records]]<br>
label as well as the chance to [[Support for Nine Inch Nails' Self Destruct Tour|open for NIN]] the following spring; Manson accepted both offers, and the group's debut LP, [[Portrait of an American Family|Portrait of an American<br>
Family]], appeared during the summer of 1994. With new bassist [[Twiggy Ramirez]] replacing Gein, the group's notoriety began to soar. Most infamously,<br>
during an appearance in Salt Lake City, Manson ripped apart a copy of the Book of Mormon while on-stage. The Church of Satan's founder, [[Anton LaVey|Anton<br>
LaVey]], also bestowed upon him the title of "Reverend."

While some onlookers dismissed Manson's behavior as crass audience manipulation, his cult following – comprised almost entirely of disaffected<br>
white suburban teens – continued to swell, and with the release of 1995's [[Smells Like Children]] EP the band broke into the mainstream, propelled by<br>
their hit cover of the Eurythmics' "[[Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)]]." Berkowitz quit a short time later and was replaced by guitarist [[Zim Zum]]; their<br>
next LP, 1996's [[Antichrist Superstar]], debuted at the number three spot on the pop album charts. As Manson's popularity grew, so did the furor<br>
surrounding him. His concerts were regularly picketed by civic groups, and his music was the subject of widespread attacks from the right-wing and<br>
religious fronts. Again, however, his quick embrace of the media spotlight called into question the true sincerity of his revolutionary aims. With a<br>
cover story in Rolling Stone and a best-selling autobiography, [[The Long Hard Road Out of Hell]], some onlookers doubted whether Manson had sold<br>
his soul to Satan, or just sold his soul, period. The glam-inspired [[Mechanical Animals]] followed in 1998, with the resulting tour yielding the live [[The Last Tour on Earth|Last<br>
Tour on Earth]] a year later.

[[Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)]] came out at the end of 2000. The band toured to support the album in 2001, and during [[2001/07/30 Clarkston, MI|a July<br>
show in Michigan]], Manson was charged with criminal sexual conduct after performing an alleged offensive act on a security guard. December saw<br>
Manson's version of "[[Tainted Love]]" appear on the Not Another Teen Movie soundtrack while another security guard filed a civil suit alleging Manson<br>
had rubbed his pelvis on the guard's head. The July 2001 sexual conduct charges were lowered to a misdemeanor in January 2002 and the civil suit<br>
was dropped soon after. May 2003 saw the release of [[The Golden Age of Grotesque]], which spent a week<br>
on top of the album charts and ended up on more than a few critics' year-end Top Ten lists. In April 2004<br>
the album [[Lunch Boxes & Choklit Cows]] appeared, credited to Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids – Spooky<br>
Kids being the name of Manson's earliest band. Manson fought the release and court-ordered some<br>
artwork removed that was too close to the art to which the singer owned the copyright. At the end of<br>
September the [[Lest We Forget – The Best Of|Lest We Forget]] collection was released, covering the highlights of Manson's career and<br>
including a new cover version of Depeche Mode's "[[Personal Jesus]]." Late in 2005 it was announced that a<br>
new album was nearly finished, but it wasn't until 2007 that [[Eat Me, Drink Me]] would arrive. The album<br>
was produced by Manson and [[Tim Skold]] and mixed by longtime associate [[Sean Beavan]].</small>
