Marilyn Manson樂隊是近年哥德搖滾的傑出典範。（1990年組成時原叫Marilyn Manson AndTheSpookyKids,後縮短為Marilyn Manson）樂隊共有五名成員組成，除主唱Marilyn Manson外，還有吉他手Zim Zum,鼓手Ginger Fish鍵盤手Madonna Wayne Gacy,以及低音歌手兼貝司手Twiggy Ramivez。有意思的是每位隊員的名字皆由一美女及一變態殺人狂組合，主唱Marilyn Manson便是由Marilyn Monroe (瑪麗蓮.夢露）加Charles Manson(超級殺人王），又如鍵盤手Madonna Wayne Gacy ,亦是由Madonna （麥當娜）與John Wayne Gacy（曾殺死3名男童）混合而成。隊中靈魂人物Marilyn Manson眼中只有撒旦，從來沒有覺得自己是天使。 Manson原名Brian Warner,成長於典行的 美國破碎家庭，自幼便困在地牢，被一堆堆雜物困繞著，家人從不關心他，甚至將他當成玩偶，種種不幸令Manson眼中不再有神，看見的只有創傷，在他的心路歷程里只有人間的痛苦與醜惡，因此，他的搖滾哲學是離經叛道反基督。Marilyn Manson正循Galm Rock 路線進行轉變，昔日哥德搖滾的有血有肉不見了，隨之是一身金光閃閃，連他自己都承認這一點。打從過往推出的3張大碟《Potrait Of American Family》，《Smile LikeChildren》《Antichrist Superstar》開始，他們便被衛道士公開指責。Manson在他的第四張大碟《Mechanical Animals》玩無性別概念，但由於太過招搖，被唱片店拒絕出售。諷刺的是，大碟一經推出，即登美國大碟榜榜首，銷量數字更是可觀。Marilyn Manson雖是降世邪魔，可歌迷們仍舊瘋狂的支持他。1998年他推出了一本名為《The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell》的自傳，很多年輕女孩為了得到他的親筆簽名，不惜在寒冷的3月徘徊在受書場，一等就是數十個小時，可見，這個樂隊在樂迷心目中的地位之高絕不亞於當年的Nirvana！
Marilyn Manson既是一支來自佛羅里達的樂隊的名稱，又是該樂隊主音歌手的名字。 這個來自美國中西部的歌手原名Brian Warner，在俄亥俄州的Canton度過孩提時代。他從小不和父母同住，嚮往著有朝一日成為象Ozzy Osbourne一樣的個性英雄。18歲時，移居佛羅里達，在當地的Tampa灣地區從事音樂評論工作。1989年他化名Manson，遇到了吉他手Scott Mitchell(真名為Scott Putesky)。這兩人一拍即合，彼此發現其對南佛羅里達音樂景象的看法極其相似。根據Manson在小型談話節目中得到的經驗和由60年代兩個著名名詞組合而來的名字的啟發，他給Scott起名Daisy Berkowitz，分別來源於公爵Daisy的爵士樂組合和殺手David Berkowitz。在貝司手Gidget Gein和鍵盤手Madonna Wayne-Gracy加入之後，名為Marilyn Manson & the Spooky kids的樂隊正式成立。
組建之初,他們出演一些付費預定的演出，錄製了自己的盒帶並自創些特殊的聲響效果。很快他們找到了合適的鼓手Sara Lee Lucas替代原先採用的電子鼓機，稍後又以Ginger Fish替換了Sara。他們的風格也逐漸從工業轉向硬核。在1992年他們被當地樂迷提名為南佛羅里達州Slammie獎的最佳非主流硬搖滾樂隊和年度最佳樂隊獎。樂隊成員認為名字太長而難以被記住，一致決定去掉後綴，簡稱為Marilyn Manson。但這並沒有使他們的歌迷有所混淆，1993年夏，他們獲得了5個Slammie獎提名，並且最終贏得了份量很重的榮譽棗年度最佳樂隊。更重要的是Nine Inch Nails的Trent Reznor把Marilyn Manson召入他的Nothing唱片旗下簽訂契約，並達成在1994年春為Nine Inch Nails樂隊的巡演做開場演出的意向。首張專輯《Portrait Of An American Family》(美國家庭的寫照)也順利於1994年7月推出。
Nine Inch Nails的巡演開始給Marilyn Manson足夠的表現機會，與此同時，Twiggy Ramirez出任新的貝司手替代陷入毒癮中的Gidget Gein。這次巡演中，不安分的Marilyn Manson顯現出其肆無忌憚的個性，引出了不少插曲。除了在猶他州的鹽湖城的Delta中心被禁演，Manson在受Nine Inch Nails的邀請上台表演時，他撕碎了一本名為《摩門教之典》的宗教書籍，這導致了服裝室被憤怒的人們瘋狂地搗毀。同年10月，他安排了與撒旦教堂的創建人Anton Szandor LaVey博士的會面，並被貫以'可尊敬'的稱號。在Manson結束巡演回到佛羅里達後，他就因在Jacksonville的裸體演出中的涉嫌強姦指控而被送入監獄。當他一獲保釋，樂隊繼續開始獨立巡演，這次他們成了真正的主角。在南卡羅萊那州，他們又捲入了由'小雞事件'引起的爭論。事情起因於樂隊決定在演出時從台上扔只小雞到台下的歌迷中，以期引起更瘋狂火爆的場面。但實際上，這隻小雞並沒有被好戰的歌迷所撕碎，反而被一個歌迷搭救。可是，小動物的最終命運並沒有驅散Manson藉此向撒旦敬獻祭禮的流言。由此，Manson也逐漸與邪惡主義联系了起來。 1995年10月，EP專輯'Smells Like Children'(孩子氣息)推出，並且經典作品'Sweet Dreams'(甜夢)受到MTV在內的眾多媒體的關注。突然之間，Marilyn Manson開始被廣泛報導。但歷時5個月的巡演中，樂隊既逐日聲望大增，又面臨了內部爆發的矛盾，其中暴戾的Manson在紐約竟把Berkowitz推下舞台。
在他們回到佛羅里達後，Berkowitz退出樂隊。雖然後來一些內部人士宣稱Berkowitz沒有參與創作Marilyn Manson1996年推出的專輯《Antichrist Superstar》(反基督超級明星)，但他的名字後來還是出現在專輯的出演名單上，致使此後Berkowitz控告Manson，要求享有應支付的版稅。糾紛後，為尋找合適吉他手，樂隊在《鄉村之聲》雜誌上刊登廣告，經過在150名應徵者中的篩選，選中了Zim Zum。專輯於1996年10月推出，迅速在Billboard排行榜上獲得第3名的成績，並大受好評。這些歌與他們早先狂歡式的效果相比，在詞作上注入了更深更多的熱情，也更具嚴肅的效果。
1997年， Marilyn Manson達到了它獨有風格的頂峰。在《反基督超級明星》推出的短短時日中，到處都能見到身著樂隊 T恤的新歌迷，主流雜誌上充斥了關於他們的訪談，單曲 \"The Beautiful People\"(美麗的人們 )在廣播中整日播放。令人奇怪的是，雖然專輯引來了不小的抗議，但到 1998年中期它還是獲得了 140萬張的銷量。不管怎樣， 1997年是他們最成功的時刻。宣傳該專輯的巡演儘管在美國的許多城市遇到了抗議，反 Marilyn Manson的聲勢在 1997年 6月到達了頂點，某些成功的抗議甚至使得演出被取消，但這並沒有阻止 Marilyn Manson以自己的方式成為超級明星。
在輿論中，一直把 Marilyn Manson稱為是由搖滾界故意創造出來，用於試探主流社會對偏激言行的承受程度。 Manson甚至在當年 9月的 MTV音樂電視獎頒獎演出中，在演唱 \"The Beautiful People\"前除了胡言亂語外，還作出了不雅的出格行為。可 11月樂隊還是順利地推出了一張 5首歌的 EP唱片《 Remix & Repent》。該年 10月， Marilyn Manson在加利福尼亞州觀光山舉行的年度 Bridge School慈善演唱會上，與 Smashing Pumpkins的靈魂人物 Billy Corgan建立了穩固的關係。 11月他們參加了 Smashing Pumpkins在佛羅里達的演出， Billy 也協助該樂隊指正了下張專輯的音樂走向。
在 1998年， Marilyn Manson投入到第 3張專輯的製作中，然而在唱片幾近完成之際又發生了意外。吉他手 Zim Zum尋求獨立發展而退出樂隊。綽號 John 5的 John Lowery加盟組合。新專輯中的音樂先在 8月上映的電影《 Dead Man On Campus》 (校園中的死人 ) 中初露鋒芒。 6周后，這張名為《 Mechanical Animals》 (機械動物 )的新專輯上市。雖然許多連鎖店由於其極具煽動性的裸體造型封面而拒絕銷售，但這支倔強的樂隊依然痴迷地追隨著華麗搖滾的風格，以其毫不掩飾與毫無顧忌的行為灑脫地生存著。
Marilyn Manson “Marilyn Manson, 象是一個摩菲斯特期待了很久的靈魂，一個glam, gore, rock'n'roll,商業, 電子合成器等扭曲的完美產物。只有上帝知道他是否真的屬於人類。”關於一個人的信仰問題別人應該沒有指責的權利，而明顯的，這個世界上只屬於一個人的信仰是不存在的，他勢必要將自己的思想播及他人，或是宣洩，或是諷刺。虔誠的基督徒們認為Manson意在代替上帝，毒害兒童，一個十足的惡魔撒旦。社會控訴他點燃了那些校園殺手心中的黑暗之火。而他卻覺得自己更象是受刑的耶酥，Crucifixion這個詞一直出現在他的歌中，最典型的就是.他在做著這個世界毫不理解的事情，這令他自豪萬分，極度興奮中帶著悽美的悲傷。

The Cast:
MARILYN MANSON as himself and also known or referred to as "Herr Doktor". This is the creator of all vocals and OB ART manipulator of various instruments including: a burning piano, synthetic bass, mellotron, the saxophone and the mutilation of audio for personal use. He maintained some rhythm directive including (but not limited to) loops and snare drum rolls. There were also occassions where the one string guitar was implemented for dramatic purposes.
JOHN 5 as the lead guitar demagogue. He is responsible for rhythm, lead and dissonance in the field of guitar (inluding but not limited) to the 5, 6 and 7 string instruments. Piano and various orchestral elements were also choreographed by him using his guitar in a manner often viewed as inappropriate.
M. W. GACY as the chief chemist and philosopher of electronics, specializing in the field of keyboards and responsible for synthesizers, discoloration of words, loops, and political melody.
Introducing TIM SKOLD, who stars as the bassist. He is the shaper of electronics, loops, synth bass, keyboard and accordian. He is also responsible for OB ART constructivism of guitar and beat.
GINGER FISH as the live drummer and primal meter interpreter. Leader of all rhythm divisions of marching and big band korps.
