Marilyn Manson is an alternative Industrial Metal band based in Los Angeles, California. Frequently termed "shock rock",
the group's sound contains influences from heavy metal, industrial rock, and glam. 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 has, over fifteen years,
developed
into a worldwide fanbase.Marilyn Manson's reputation has likewise grown, with the band now considered one of modern music's most widely-
known and most controversial; this has been due, in large part, to eponymous lead singer Marilyn Manson
born Brian Warner and his frequent clashes with religious and political figures. The name of each band member was originally created by
combining the first name of a female pop culture icon and the last name of a mass murderer or a serial killer. The members of the band dress
in
outlandish makeup and costumes, and have engaged in intentionally shocking behavior both onstage and off. Their lyrics often receive
criticism
for their anti-religious sentiment and with
references to sex, drugs, and violence � Marilyn Manson's music and performances have frequently been called offensive and obscene, and,
more than a few times, protests and petitions have led to the group's being banned from performing.As this controversy began to wane, so
did
the band's mainstream popularity. Despite this, its many devoted fans have
made Marilyn Manson a consistently high-profile group: three of the band's albums have been awarded platinum certification and three have
been awarded gold, and the band has seen three of its releases debut in the top ten, including two number-one albums. In June 2003, Jon
Wiederhorn of MTV.com referred to Marilyn Manson as "the only true artist today" « hide |
