Information AboutMarilyn Manson |

Marilyn Manson, a Portmanteau of '''Marilyn''' Monroe and Charles '''Manson''' (born '''Brian Hugh Warner''' on January 5 , 1969 ) is an American musician and the leader of the band Marilyn Manson . Known for Profane , provocative lyrics and behaviour, he has been the subject of much controversy, particularly during the late 1990s . EARLY LIFE Brian Warner is a Canton, Ohio native and the son of Hugh and Barbara Warner. Hugh, a former carpet salesman, had fought in the Vietnam War and while there was exposed to so much Agent Orange that military doctors and psychologists were amazed that young Brian turned out "normal". Brian Warner attended Heritage Christian School, but was alienated by what he saw as Hypocrisy , and a religion that seemed to teach fear more than it taught virtues—sermons prophesying the Apocalypse had a lasting effect upon his outlook. Brian graduated from GlenOak High School , where he joined a band, in which he started out playing percussion instruments like Bass Drum and Snare Drum , but ended up playing Triangle . After his graduation, the Warner family moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida . An untrue rumor circulated in the 1990s that the actor Josh Saviano who played a nerdy sidekick in the 1960s themed TV show '' The Wonder Years '' grew up to be Marilyn Manson. A similar story about Rob Stone , who played Kevin Owens in the ABC Sit-com '' Mr. Belvedere '', was also spread. PERSONAL LIFE Those close to Manson give a mixed impression of his personality. While his wife, Dita Von Teese speaks of him as a genuine and passionate individual, and parents Barbara and Hugh often express great pride in their son's career, Manson has a history of strained and destructive relationships. It is notable that, of the original band members, none remain, the longest lasting band member is Madonna Wayne Gacy (whose predecessor lasted only a matter of weeks). The departure of some former members has resulted in Lawsuit s. Manson has been quoted as saying, "I always feel like other people are interchangeable." Unofficial tour footage reveals Manson treating fans, interviewers, and tour staff in a condescending, demanding, or curt manner, although this is hardly aberrant behaviour for a rock star. The overall impression is of a man who is very intelligent and driven by his ambitions. Those who do not serve to help him achieve his goals do not seem to last very long. Fallout with Trent Reznor One of his very high-profile relationships, the intermittently defunct friendship with Trent Reznor , has been marked with mutual bitterness and perhaps Vendetta . In a Hierophant online-interview Manson implicated Reznor in being responsible for the destruction of the Master Recording s of Manson's first 3 albums. Fallout with John 5 One example is former guitarist John 5 's reaction to being fired: :"I don't know… I was nothing but nice to him," he continued. "I never screwed up onstage — well not really badly — and I did everything I could to get along with him. Maybe, just maybe, it had something to do with the fact that I don't drink or do drugs, and he's not like that at all. Maybe he held that against me. I don't know. He never said." But it was later confirmed in innumerable interviews that John 5's reasons for leaving were mutual; he was in fact attempting to pursue a solo career and to also form another band. He apparently felt that his participation with Manson failed to give him enough creative control, as he was just a conductor. Twiggy Ramirez's departure In May 2002 Manson announced in his online journal that he had fired bassist Twiggy Ramirez (real name Jeordie White ), citing difference in perspective as to the future of the band. However, it is widely circulated that Ramirez left the band of his own volition and belief that the job of Manson bassist had become too routine. While not a hostile departure, Manson has publicly maintained that he fired Ramirez. Manson told SPIN Magazine : :"He felt he had to choose between his personal life and Marilyn Manson (the band), and I pointed out that Marilyn Manson should be his personal life. It was amicable, but we don't see each other anymore." The odd factor is that Manson has claimed in countless interviews that he and Twiggy are still close friends although Jeordie maintains that he rarely speaks to Manson. Currently, Twiggy Ramirez plays bass for A Perfect Circle and Nine Inch Nails . Romance On December 3 2005 , Manson married Burlesque performer Dita Von Teese in a Secular ceremony presided over by Cult Film Director Alejandro Jodorowsky in County Tipperary , Ireland . Prior to his five-year relationship to Von Teese, he was engaged to actress Rose McGowan . He has also been linked to or involved with Melissa "Missi" Romero, Traci Lords , and Jenna Jameson . FILM CAREER Manson has helped or provided full scores for several major motion pictures, although several of his pieces have been cut, and his name dropped from the credits. Some of his more notable soundtrack score contributions include '' From Hell '', '' The Matrix '' and '' Resident Evil ''. Manson's first appearance in a film was in the role of a Pornographic Actor in David Lynch 's '' Lost Highway '', in 1997. He also had a minor role in former love interest Rose McGowan 's 1998 flick '' Jawbreaker '' and a supporting role in 2003's '' Party Monster ''. His most talked-about film Cameo would be for the Michael Moore political documentary '' Bowling For Columbine ''. Manson was rumored to be an early candidate for the role of Willy Wonka in 2005 's '' Charlie And The Chocolate Factory ''; though while the character is one to whom Manson has made many references in his own work, the role eventually went to his erstwhile friend Johnny Depp . He played Jackson in the 2004 film '' The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things '', and is set to appear in '' Abelcain '', directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky , and '' Living Neon Dreams '' in 2005 as well as voicing Edgar the Gray Alien in the game '' Area 51 ''. He is currently working on , which will appear on his website in Winter (USA). He will also be seen as a bartender in an upcoming Vampire movie ''Rise''. TELEVISION CAREER Manson was featured as a character, voiced by himself, on an episode of the animated series '' Clone High ''. ART CAREER Manson is also an accomplished watercolor painter. An exhibit for his art was held at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions on September 13 – September 14 , 2002 and also at the Hotel Lutecia , Paris on September 14 , 2004 and the next day in Berlin . He contributed a piece to the West Memphis Three benefit exhibition at Sixspace . Many of his paintings have sold for large amounts, usually between $ 5,000 and $ 50,000. His most famous buyers include Jack Osbourne , Nicolas Cage , Dave Navarro , and Andy Dick . He has also stated that a new book containing all his pieces of art work will be released in the near future, possibly 2006 . During late 2005 Manson was quoted talking much of his art movement, Celebritarian Corporation . In January 2006 his website was updated with many new artworks being revealed.
