Marilyn Manson.
Marilyn Manson's band was originally called Marilyn Manson And The Spooky Kids, but shortly after the band was formed, the name was shortened to Marilyn Manson (the lead singer's name, obviously).
Marilyn Manson himself has never bitten the head of a defenceless animal nor had fake breast implants nor removed his ribs in order to give himself oral sex. On the contrary to what pathetic sociopath idiots think, Marilyn Manson does not have man boobs- he was cursed from the day he was born to be tall and terribly thin (something which he doesn't mind.)
He isn't gay (he is married to star female stripper, Dita Von Teese) and yet has no problem what-so-ever about gay people, gay sex or touching men-- wanna know why? It's because he isn't an idiot. He can accept other people.
His music does not just have shock value. I myself downloaded some of his music to find out who the hell Marilyn Manson was, before I had seen him and his band and back when I though he was a woman (/Marilyn/). It amazed me, and because of my love for his work I looked up more about him.
He isn't a Satanist (he doesn't believe in a God) yet is against Christianity. He isn't against Christianity because he is a 'Goth' (he isn't, by the way)but because his gained experiences have left him with some intelligence. If you don't believe me, buy his autobiography.

A pill to make you dumb,
A pill to make you anybody else,
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself..." -- Coma White

You took the angel away,
I killed myself to make everybody pay..." -- Coma Black

Marilyn Manson:
An extremely underrated and misjudged man.
Blamed for problems having absolutely nothing to do with him by ignorant fuck-ups who bitch about whoever doesn't fit within their social standards.
Questionable parents claim he is the reason their child becomes a heroin addicted failure, when clearly the parenting skills of said parents need to be thoroughly explained and moderated.
Most people who don't spend 5 minutes worth shit of research to find that he does not in fact sacrifice animals, worship the devil, have his ribs removed to suck himself off, or any other extreme fairy tales people have gotten away with starting.
Marilyn Manson (Brian Hugh Warner) plays many instruments, sings, writes, acts, and paints. He is incredibly talented and naturally gifted. His hard work shows and I can easily say is the most genius man I have ever had the pleasure of having as a role model. No one has influenced me in such a powerful, positive way.
He is a beautiful creature that this shit-hole of a world doesn't deserve to have. He is my last hope that humanity isn't a complete waste.
Person-Wow! This is a good song? Who is it by?
Me-Marilyn Manson.
Person-(Thinking: I will now pretend his music is horrible because there are rumors about him and people may not like me for listening to him. Ughhh, no one will like me and think I'm so totally un-cool. Although, I secretly like him.)

One may say that Brian Warner (Marilyn Manson, for those who don't know) is some 'satanic goth' and whatnot. What people don't realize is that he...isn't. Honestly? This man is blamed for odd nuances and criminal acts (Columbine, anyone?) merely because it's easy for the media to point fingers...just because his ways aren't exactly 'politically correct'...or however one may explain it.
Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids (now shortened to 'Marilyn Manson') is a 'shock-rock' band that started in the 80's. So, those who think he's 'metal' or 'emo'..you're wrong..and you fail at life.
Those obscene rumors like the whole 'breast implants' thing..and the 'ribs removed' thing...they aren't true. If you watch any of his interviews, you'd know that he finds these things funny...but they aren't true. The whole 'breast' thing was for a music video...and they weren't real...and come on, the whole 'suck my own dick' thing was a joke.
Mindless Idiot: oh my god, Marilyn Manson is such a freak!
Me: ...do you happen to have any legit reasoning behind that opinion?
Mindless Idiot: I don't even know if it's a guy or a girl..and he has two different color eyes!
Me: First off, if you knew anything..you'd know that Manson is a guy and that 'Marilyn Manson' is not his real name. And there's significance behind those contacts.
Mindless Idiot: He's still a freak! He removed two of his ribs so he could suck his own dick...and he throws live puppies in the audience at his shows and tells people to kill them!
Me: I feel sorry for you...the media is basically brainwashing you.
Mindless Idiot: What?
Me: ...you have no opinion of your own. You lose.

A famous eclectic

His autobiography is called "Long Hard Road Out of Hell" I suggest everyone who loves or hates him should read it.
Quote
'I'm becoming what I used to be afraid of. When the whole world wants to destroy you, everyday is your last day and every performance is your final one. The Antichrist is not just me, or just one person. it's all of us, a collective state of mind that America needs to have awakened in them. I want to wake it in them. That's the purpose of this tour, maybe even my life, to make Americans realize they don't have to believe in something just because they've been told it all their lives. You can't have someone who's never had sex or drugs telling you it's wrong. Only through experience can you determine your own morality. Humanity isn't about constantly having to seek forgivness for being human; humanity is leading a guiltless existance as an individual. That is Armageddon, because, to Christianity, if you forsake God and believe in yourself, the world is over.'
-pg. 247 of The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell by Marilyn Manson

a very brilliant, artistic, beautiful man who is punished for not being like everyone else... why? i dont know. maybe because everyone who thinks he is a gay satan worshipper needs to get their facts straight before judging him. if you dont like him, fine. if you dont like his music, fine. just know he is an independent MAN and deserves everything in this world.
i say:god marilyn manson is so awesome!
the fat christian says: eeew! he is a gay man and he loves satan!
i say:no he doesnt you fat shit
the fat christian says:yes he does! i know! i heard some one say so!
i say:and that is why he is soooo much better than you
the fat christian says: no he isnt!
i say: go fuck a stick bitch
at which point i grab the closest knife and smash it into the douchebags aorta

Marilyn Manson - the pen-name of a rock artist (birth name: Brian Warner), member of the band formerly known as Marilyn Manson and The Spooky Kids. Now the band is also referred to as simply Marilyn Manson. Technically, it's not so much of a problem because about the only person who stays there always is Marilyn Manson himself. Some of the line-up changes from time to time.
MM is certainly a good target for criticism, but needs no defense: his reactions to the criticism are always quite keen and precise.
While his public image may seem shocking to public eye, he is NOT any of the following (although it has been claimed):
- Satanist or Devil worshipper
- Gay
- Mentally unbalanced
- Killer of little animals on stage (unlike Ozzy, who bit a head off a pigeon)
I cannot for sure tell if MM has anything against Christianity as a school of thought. If he is as intelligent as he seems (and he does make quite an impression), I doubt he is. But he definitely has a problem with the Christian religious institutes such as church (btw, chuch does not necessarily imply philosophy or even simple faith).
Personal opinion of mine is that his utterances are not to be overvalued, as they, while having value, DO fall short of an elegant philosophy MM seems to seek. Maybe he should spend a little more time with good books, but with his job I understand it can be difficult. I wish he weren't so caught up with the whole anti-christian act. Life is bigger than a fight against one say-but-dont-do religious system.
My guess is, MM would exell in writing. It seems he has much to say and explore, but the expectations of the crowd and limits of the format (namely, music) don't let him.
He seems to find himself in (rather good, may a add) watercolors and unique experiments with musical organic effects on the listener.
His music and imagery appeals mostly to the goth community,
much of it falls into the industrial niche, although most of his work cannot be accurately categorized, as with any truly talented artist.
A: Do you know who Marilyn Manson is?
B: M-m, I thought it was a band...
A: Well, that's true, to an extent. He's a lead singer in the band with the same name.
