Laken Sanders I personaly love marilyn manson. And this article was very informative...however i think when writing an article on such a controversal person is dangerous if the writer is not going to cite the sources used in the article 11/18/2009

miranda manson i love you. i'm glad you're doing what you're doing. you make me love who i am and love what i do. because of your music, i feel comfortable with feeling this way, the way i am. you make me want to play music, you're the reason i picked up my first guitar. my life has in[roved since i started listening to his music, i no longer let people shove their beliefes down my throat. I am an individual now. I am myself. I am comfortable in my own skin.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Marilyn Manson.

miranda got some facts wrong. it's Gidget Gein. he died in 07 due to a heroine o.d, manson is not a satanist, and his real name is brian warner and he was born in canton ohio. 4/9/2009
Allyson Really, You people who are talking trash about him really need to get a life. So what if he's not like other famous singers? He's not a sick freak and hes not some nasty loser. He's just trying to make his statement.
To the ones who are talking down about him, have you even HEARD is music? Heard the lyrics? I seriously doubt it.

Satan I think that his music is so bad. I would purchase every single CD and begin to burn them in his face. Now that is what I consider Religious. Also I am catholic like these prostitutes. 3/10/2009
Jesus Christ Anyone who is against his music should destroy themselves. Let him come to Fresno California. 3/10/2009
sheryl Marilyn manson needs to come to fresno. I would like to meet him in person 3/10/2009
Michael Marilyn Manson should come to Fresno 3/10/2009
Ricardo Mendoza I truly believe that Marilyn Manson should come to Fresno, California. 3/10/2009

kenlee zepeda my thoughts about the columbine tradady was no one ever knew what caused it so they found one of the most awesome anti singers ever to blame.But since manson is so intelligent he knew what they were looking for but thats not the point manson is obnoxious when he wants to be but 99% of the time hes awesome 11/16/2008
lady manson I LOVE MANSON FOREVER! 9/4/2008
lucifer its not complete

but u missed some things

Judas Music is art, respect the oppinion.
My words wouldn't make you kill someone, why would the lyrics of a song? If anything, it's the fan's fault for lionizing Manson (i'm an avid manson worshipper, so I'm guilty), the man has done nothing worth the bitter titles given him. He's somewhat an idealist, and like all the ones before him, he's gonna upset somebody.
everybody hates the wordy ones, no? especially when their words are controversial. ^.^

cpettijohn93aty I really dont understand all of the hype about this page. The fans are flaming the haters, and vice versa, when what you should be discussing is the article. This is not Marilyn Manson's webpage, so if you want to flame him, go there instead. Right, so a few things. First, for those of you who insist people who listen to his music are brainwashed or whatever, or obsessed, it takes a certain level of obsession to write what you did about him. Oh, by the way, Marilyn Manson is a "Shock Rocker", he does things that are controversial so morons will argue continuously about it on websites like this. He is not a bad man, against Christianity, or Satanism, or whatever. If you read any of his quotes, you would find that he neither rejects the idea of any Christian idals or encourages them. 5/16/2008
Yvonne. Marilyn Manson was not born Brian Warner Canton, He was Born Brian Hugh Warner, and he was raised in Canton, Ohio, this could have really messed up my project I was doing on him if I didn't know a lot about him already. 5/1/2008
zac Finnaly, i've found an article that doesn't put down such a great figure. 4/25/2008
Heather L Manson freakin ROCKS!!! 4/25/2008
Sunshine i really love him and i think that you did a great job potraying his life. i've learned quite a bit about manson in the past couple of weeks because i'm doing a project in school but i think that this is one of the best biographys that i've read while looking on line. 4/25/2008
Derik Everyone can go f themselves because manson is very intelligent and he knows exactly wat he's doin so dont critizies something that ur afraid of. manson is a god in his own way and no one can take that away from him. all u parents out there just blame manson for ur kids bein troubled but its not his fault ur bad parents if u talked to ur kids and understood them then u wouldnt have a problem with him he doesnt influence people u do from u disliking him so much thats why people want to love him u dont understand cuz u never took the time to get wat he''s all about. take time to read his interviews and u will find that he's very inteligent and has his own views maby just maybe ull see were hes comin from if ur to quick to judge how will u ever no??????? 3/17/2008
xxradovitchxx Mariln manson is the greatest if following him and his briliant mind is wrong i dont want to be right

deZ i think marilyn manson is the coolist guy in earth, because is just wild and weird. 2/25/2008
NO NAME I THINK MANSON'S THE GREATEST EVER! I'VE LOVED HIM SINCE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD A SONG FROM HIM! I WOULD LOVE TO MEET HIM!!!! 12/18/2007
Catherine Woods there is no use trying to pray for him he chose this lifestyle himself not anyone else.he shouldn't worry about what other people think. the only thing that matters is he is being himself and not what other people want him to be. parents have no one to blame but themselves just let your kids be who they want to be don't try to stop them because it just won't work. the more you tell kids to not listen to him the more they are going to defy you and listen to him. 12/5/2007
catherine woods I don't care what other people think about him they don't really matter at all to me or to him people are just jealous that he is famous and is making lots of money. Parents are just mad because they tried to get their kids to stop liking him but it just blew up in their face. they should just let their kids listen to who they want to. People who say its his fault kids are killing other kids in their school are just a bunch of idiots. Marilyn Manson forever I hope he keeps singing until he can't sing no more. 12/5/2007
Haley Carlson that was very intesying and I have to be one his biggest fans I am not one of his crazy obsessed fans. I really enjoy his music and anything about him in a way he has inspired me and a I would like to meet him one day. That is one of my life goals. Marilyn Manson is my favorite artist and alot of times I get critised for hat but it dosent bother me everyone has there favorites and not everyone agrees with who they chose. But thank you for letting me post this comment

Jesse that is one thing i love bout manson, he acts like he only hates but he is a caring person, 8/1/2007
SRAL I hate the generalizations people make of not only Marilyn Manson, but of his listeners..it's ridiculous.
I'm the biggest Manson fan I've ever met, and I am the complete opposite of what people seem to think is a "troubled adolescent".
"frankie1981: I am even more suprised that parents let their infantile children listen to this smut. They are utterly clueless in what is going on in their children's lives...and then they wonder why their children run away, don't respect them and turn out to be arrogant assholes"
My dad bought me tickets to the upcoming Manson show. He's bought me his cds. I have nothing but respect for my parents, I've never run away and I'm certainly not an arrogant asshole. Stop generalizing you bloody idiot.
For people to talk about Manson saying he is perverted, and vile and grotesque? What about all your dirty perverted religious leaders preaching the word of God and fondling little boys in the confessional? Get a grip on YOUR reality. I'd rather send my kid to a Manson concert than to Sunday school.
Mansons music may be extreme to some, but really, you should just respect that people like what they like. If you really dislike him that much, do something better with your time rather than critisize him and his fans. It's pathetic.

Austin What must be maintained, though, is that he is a shock-rocker with no real intention of helping anyone that will not in turn benefit himself. Steve Vai, a famed musician, has said over and over again, "Beware of what you write. You become what you write." If this statement holds any truth to it, which I know it does from experience (have you ever heard of an insane country artist? No! But you hear about rockers and some rappers), then all you have to do to show that Manson is no good would be to read his lyrics. Over and over again you will find messages of hate, violence, and lessons to be "obscene" (as heard in his song mOB-SCENE). So in terms of being a great person, he fails. But, what he does accell in would be visual imagery in his videos and cd jackets. In the many years that shock rock was available to the masses, I do not believe that anyone could top Marilyn Manson's video for Sweet Dreams. 7/7/2007
ellie you got a few facts wrong... his birth name was brian hugh warner. he was born in canton, ohio 5/31/2007
Bolgeface How were Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold supposed to say that they weren't fans of Manson if they were dead? They commited suicide after the killings. There were no statements by them. SO how is this a fact? Did you ask their mom? 4/20/2007
kayla jimenez sweet i him so much but you guys should up date it just a lil bit !! other than the i got enough info about him so i can do a report on my fav person marilyn manson !! ok bye!! 4/18/2007

alyse I LOVE MARILYN MANSON 3/1/2007
Unknown Evanescence, Marilyn Manson is a guy and don't fight with a friend or your friendship won't last long....now for me post ^^ I think Manson is a bit freaky and a bit cool at the same time.....ok i'm done here...(note: preps killed the race of Goth/Emo!!! i don't like preps 2/12/2007
Evanescence wait...is Marilyn Manson a guy or a chick? me anf my pal is wondering...were also fighting cause she is saying he is a girl but i say he's a Guy 2/12/2007

phonexz i crazy him 1/19/2007
Ian S manson is and remains to be one of the leading voices in the battle against censorship. his music rings of classic ozzy with certain sounds of the future mixed in. too bad about the satanism, though.

long live MM

Chris Newsham There is one inacuracy in this article, and that is the allegation that Manson is a member of the Church of Satan. He isn't. He was given the title of Reverend by LaVey. In the Church of Satan, a the title of reverend does not mean the same thing as it does in Christianity. It is simply a title given to anyone revered by the Church of Satan. 9/27/2006
melyssa i think manson is awsome no matter what he does. 9/4/2006
? marilyn mansons HOT! 8/7/2006
morbidmansonluv all of you are so wrong about him. None of you know nothing of him..."oh he needs to stop rubbing his pelvis on ppl" shut the up all of you! stop hating on something you know nothing on..If you've ever read his lyrics and his biography you would come to realization that he's actually against rape, and child molestation, and porn and sex. So back off of him! 5/30/2006
Jenny i dont like it, it is just the same as all!!!!! Grrr! 5/25/2006
diamondintheruf Marilyn Manson This idiot acts as a reductio ad absurdum for all the Black Sabbath evil devil schtick. Worse, he reflects horribly on the influence of my beloved Alice Cooper. Of course, Alice Cooper didn't require cursing or nudity to make his points, let alone blowing a guy on stage.

It's not just that the guy wouldn't know a real song if it bit him in the ass, but that he doesn't really even WANT to be musical. He seems to utterly disregard the very idea of actual MUSIC. He's more interested in hanging out with Anton Levay and any kind of "shocking" faux-intellectual nonsense. He'll do anything to maintain his stardom, anything except learning how to write a song or play an instrument

_derek06 Satan...the first rebel and freethinker had his feelings hurt when God told him no. So he said "---you" and he's been screwing things up ever since just for spite under the guise of correcting an injustice.

They say the opposite of love is hate but I would say it is indifference because hate implies the pang of love still alive.
Indifference...the heart cold and as hard as stone incapable of love or hate draws closer to evil...the privation of good.

MM is a poser and hypocrite. If he were honest he would come clean of this BS about his "criticisms" of Christianity and do well to follow the edict of the philosopher he claims to respect. Nietzsche said, "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you."

MM is the very thing he claims to be against...even more so. How useless and perverse!

motherof3 think of Marilyn Manson about what I think of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson, not much and not often. Our entire CULTURE is destructive to raising healthy children. Manson just takes it to such an extreme that he angers people, but there's a lot of hypocrisy in that anger. How many parents really LIVE Christian ideals as role models for their children? Kids who aren't already full of hate and contempt for their parents and their way of life wouldn't pay any attention to Manson. He's a result, not a cause...the root cause is poor parenting on a national scale. 5/23/2006
123 As a mother of three, I shudder to think that any of them would listen to what spews from Manson's lips. However I feel, he is entitled to his own opinions. I just wish he were not quite so vocal. I will issue a challenge to all you who read this: "pray for this man and his co-horts. Pray that they will be shone the truth and will one day, before it is too late, see God for who and what He really is. I am a Christian, and will always try to see the good in people, and will pray that they find their way in life: no offense intended to those of you who are not christian. Evil is ever present out there folks, we do not need more of it. Nor, do we need people who are evil, trying to be role models for our Children. 5/23/2006

Right. Teens go through what every day? This generation is a bunch of sorry, disrespectful bunch of whiners. Grow up you bunch of losers.

revmarcuse You've created the monster, and fed the fire.....the more you worship this sorry excuse for a human being, the more ignorant you become. You claim you're non-conforming, yet you're part of the big marketing scam of he decade....goth glam and dismal potreyal of idiotic, deviant morans......
God have mercy on your souls.

frankie1981 I am even more suprised that parents let their infantile children listen to this smut. They are utterly clueless in what is going on in their children's lives...and then they wonder why their children run away, don't respect them and turn out to be arrogant assholes. The parents are just as responsible for the teenage angst as the teens are. They are afraid of upsetting their children, afraid to tell them what to do. Well, if you don't start now, you're a pretty sorry parent. I have no apologies in saying such things. Goths, cutting, etc.....the entire society is surrounded by sex, death, murder, drugs etc.....and all other appalling evils yet the parents remain blind and hopeless. It is a sad, sad world when the teenagers lust and materialism run the media....marketing...and even their own peers, parents, schools and authority period. 5/23/2006
BEACHY IS THE COMBINED IQ OF ALL THE MANSON FANS ON THIS PAGE NEGATIVE 2? ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SPELL? WHAT IS EVA? BUNCH OF MORANS 5/23/2006
Kruse Marilyn Manson is the best thing to happen to malls since the elevator. For without him there would be no freaks to laugh at.
5/23/2006
nobes "When I'm God everyone dies"? Wow. If that isn't the most ignorant lyric, I don’t' know what is. Manson claims he wants his fans to not become the "clones of society, and herd conformists". The only thing he is molding his fans into are fanatic idiots with ignorant ideas about his philosophies. Manson claims he uses many different philosophies incorporated into his music, such as Nietzsche, Christianity (of all things), LaVey Satanism, and many more. But doesn't this conflict? He takes Nietzsche, the man once known to have philosophy that could support Nazi leaders such as Adolf Hitler, and places it in his music ideas. "When I'm God everyone dies", proves he really doesn't know what Neitzsche is talking about. Neitzsche was the first man to say "God is dead and man is free." Using that as a metaphor, Manson brings this into his music. Also bringing LaVey Satanism, and other conflicting ideas. Manson loves conflict and hatred, and he seems to think it only makes him stronger. I find that amusing because last time I checked, he's so strong right now, he's whining about how much America hates him, and how he wants to leave. Why doesn't he just take over the world now, since he has SO much "power" and hatred 5/23/2006
Rider Manson has become one of the most widely known artists there is for his controversial lyrics, appearance, and out-look on organized religion. Most Mansonites now believe this so called "artist" is raising an new generation, above oppression, and to become individuals. I've got a big news flash for all of you out there who think you are being yourself. Dressing in black clothing, white make-up, and such isn't being individual. Oh, but of course, since Mason dresses that way, its all right because he's your "God". Dressing like Manson doesn't prove you are an individual, it proves you are a gullible moronic idiot who has nothing better to do than mold themselves into this man's likeness trying to be the "individual" Manson tells you to be. The only thing Manson is making is a generation of hatred and rebellion, although, who's to say that hasn't already been here for years.



KISS, Alice Cooper, even Robert Smith from The Cure all wore make-up. And many more I won't mention. What is so special about Manson? You need a life. Just because Manson dresses a certain way, it doesn't mean you're supposed to. The majority of Manson fans are angst-driven teenagers wanting to break free of their parents and do something they will abhor. Manson being the most regarded issue. I mean, why wouldn't a depressed teenager looking for haven not want to become a part of this craze? It's got so many "pros". You're parents will hate it, you'll receive a lot of attention from dressing differently. Of course you're going to be pulled into the show.

fly bunch of brain washed idiots......you manson fans! no, he cannot be directly blamed for what stupid people do when they listen to his music. however, the mindless fools drivaling over his non-talented, grotesque, blatantly horrid music can only promote one thing amongst manson fans----utter stupidity. how callow young people are to idolize something so demeaning, perverted and vile. it's sad that children and teens think that he is some sort of idol. that american pop culture has turned the youth from a system of values to a conglomorate of evil, distasteful perversions that leave our youth callow and desensitized. you feel like he can connect with you; how can you connect with lyrics such as "there's an apple in the py mouth now I am the dinner whre there's a tumor in the t.v. mouth burn it out before it grows someone better get the dog to kick, jaws wired shut to save the diiiick:" Oh, I see......yeah. None of you dimwits know what the hell this dumb arse is even talking about. Gothic and sinister.....he seems so cool. Anti this, anti that......get a grip on reality. No person or adult will be able to convince you of your idiotic reasoning.....I am so disturbed as to what the youth of this culture defines as 'artistic expression' and 'freedom of speech'. Pull out your history books and read what this country was founded on. my goodness......the founding fathers are turning in their graves as the youth of america turns to freaky, child molesting perverts as idols........ 5/22/2006

Nobody I thing Manson is a unique person, and has no real ryhime nor reason to what he does, I myself am a fan of Manson and find most of all his lyrics have a lesson or insight to what we as teens have gone through and are living day to day. Only reason why adults are so up in arms about it is because he has the guts to say what we can't. 7/29/2005

roberta i think that marilyn manson needs to keep his pelvis to himself and stop rubbing it on other peoples heads 2/19/2005
AnonymousCaller The Collumbine Massacre:Those two boys weren't 'influenced' by Marilyn Manson's music. They did that because they were being tormented at school. 2/15/2005
katie I want to know about his age and status and stuff like that also! 2/12/2005
Laci I feel that Marilyn Manson is very intelligent man. People that accused him for the Columbine murders, are just looking for someone to blaim because he had nothing to do with it. People that ciriticize him are just scared, becuase he is something they could never be. 1/31/2005
