Marilyn 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. ------------------
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 lawsuits.
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
Manson and Reznor at a show in NY cityOne 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 recordings 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.
