Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States (1989 – present)

Marilyn Manson is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States-formed alternative metal band led by the singer also named Marilyn Manson (born Brian Hugh Warner on January 5, 1969). Warner chose the name, a combination of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson, to illustrate what he considered to be the extreme dualism of late 20th century American culture. The stage names of each band member were originally created by combining the first name of an iconic female sex symbol and the last name of an iconic mass murderer or serial killer, though this naming convention has not extended to new band members after the mid-90s. Along with Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper he is currently one of the main performers of the genre.

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 developed over time into a worldwide fanbase. By the late 1990s the band was considered one of modern music’s most widely-known and controversial acts; this was due, in large part, to Manson’s then-frequent clashes with religious and political groups. Manson’s lyrics often receive criticism for their anti-religious sentiment and for references to sex, drugs, and violence (albeit typically in the abstract as opposed to any specific depiction). The band’s music and performances have frequently been called offensive and obscene.

    @Uiz2cool4me9gga, you obviously haven't seen him throughout any of the shows during TGAOG era, his voice was absolutely terrible, as was it during THEOL. The tour they're on now has been his best for a while.

    Have anyone seen Manson live lately? His voice is so fucked up, it hurts to listen to him. Been like that for a couple of years now, but recently it's been even worse. I think it's time for him to put the microphone away and enjoy all his former success.
