　　Superstar," Marilyn Manson, was indisputably among the
　　most notorious and controversial 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, 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
　　dismissed by critics, his brand of metal nevertheless
　　struck a major chord with the youth market -- on the
　　strength of a masterfully orchestrated marketing campaign,
　　he became a mainstream anti-hero, much to the chagrin of
　　conservative politicians and concerned parents. Manson was
　　born 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 guitarist and
　　fellow outsider Scott Mitchell; they decided to form a
　　band, with Mitchell rechristening himself Daisy Berkowitz
　　and Warner adopting the name Marilyn Manson.
　　With the addition of bassist Gidget Gein and keyboardist
　　Madonna Wayne-Gacy, the group -- originally dubbed Marilyn
　　Manson & the Spooky Kids -- began self-releasing cassettes
　　and playing gigs, their gothic stage show notable for
　　Manson's elaborate makeup and homemade special effects.
　　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 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
　　label as well as the chance to open for NIN the following
　　spring; Manson accepted both offers, and the group's debut
　　LP, Portrait of an American Family, appeared during the
　　summer of 1994. With new bassist Twiggy Ramirez replacing
　　Gein, the group's notoriety began to soar. Most
　　infamously, 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, 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 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 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 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 surrounding him. His concerts were
　　regularly picketed by civic groups, and his music was the
　　subject of widespread attacks from the right-wing and
　　religious fronts. Again, however, his quick embrace of the
　　media spotlight called into question the true sincerity of
　　his revolutionary aims. With a cover story in Rolling
　　Stone and a best-selling autobiography, The Long Hard Road
　　Out of Hell, some onlookers doubted whether Manson had
　　sold 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 Last 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 a July show in Michigan, Manson was
　　charged with criminal sexual conduct after performing an
　　alleged offensive act on a security guard. December saw
　　Manson's version of "Tainted Love" appear on the Not
　　Another Teen Movie soundtrack while another security guard
　　filed a civil suit alleging Manson 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 was dropped soon after. May 2003 saw the
　　release of The Golden Age of Grotesque, which spent a week
　　on top of the album charts and ended up on more than a few
　　critics' year-end Top Ten lists. In April 2004 the album
　　Lunch Boxes & Choklit Cows appeared, credited to Marilyn
　　Manson & the Spooky Kids -- Spooky Kids being the name of
　　Manson's earliest band. Manson fought the release and
　　court-ordered some artwork removed that was too close to
　　the art to which the singer owned the copyright. At the
　　end of September the Lest We Forget collection was
　　released, covering the highlights of Manson's career and
　　including a new cover version of Depeche Mode's "Personal
　　Jesus." Late in 2005 it was announced that a new album was
　　nearly finished, but it wasn't until 2007 that Eat Me,
　　Drink Me would arrive. The album was produced by Manson
　　and Tim Skold and mixed by longtime associate Sean Beavan.
