Marilyn Manson Marilyn Manson Band is an outstanding representative of Gothic Rock in recent years. (Founded in 1990, formerly known as Marilyn Manson and TheSpookyKids, hereinafter referred to as Marilyn Manson) The band * * * consists of five members, including lead singer Marilyn Manson, guitarist Zim Zum, drummer Jiang Yu keyboardist Madonna Wayne Gacy, and bass singer and bassist Twiggy Ramivis. Interestingly, every player's name is a combination of beauty and pervert killer. The lead singer Marilyn Manson is Marilyn Monroe Garcharis Manson, and the keyboard player Madonna Wayne Gacy is also a mixture of Madonna and john wayne gacy (who killed three boys). Marilyn Manson, the soul of this team, only sees Satan and never feels like an angel. Originally named Brian Warner, Manson grew up in a broken American family. He was trapped in a dungeon since he was a child, surrounded by piles of debris. His family never cared about him and even regarded him as a doll. All kinds of misfortunes make Manson no longer see God in his eyes, only see trauma, and there is only human pain and ugliness in his mental journey. So his rock philosophy is deviant and anti-Christ. Marilyn Manson is changing along the Galm rock route, and the flesh and blood of Gothic rock is gone, followed by a shiny suit, which even he admits. Since the release of three albums, Pautler in an American Family, Smile Like a Child and Antichrist, they have been publicly criticized by activists. Manson played the concept of sexlessness in his fourth album Mechanical Animals, but it was too ostentatious and refused to be sold by the record store. Ironically, once the album was released, it topped the album charts in the United States, and the sales figures were even more impressive. Although Marilyn Manson is a demon, his fans still support him crazily. 1998 published his autobiography "The Long and Hard Road Out of Hell". In order to get his autograph, many young girls wandered around the library in the cold March, waiting for dozens of hours. It can be seen that this band is no less important than Nirvana in the eyes of fans! Marilyn Manson is not only the name of a band from Florida, but also the name of its lead singer. The singer from the Midwest, whose original name was Brian Warner, spent his childhood in Canton, Ohio. He has never lived with his parents since he was a child, hoping to become a personality hero like ozzy osbourne one day. /kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, he moved to Florida and worked as a music critic in the Tampa Bay Area. 1989, he changed his name to Manson and met guitarist Scott Mitchell (real name Scott Putzky). The two hit it off and found that their views on the music scene in South Florida were very similar. According to Manson's experience in small talk shows and the inspiration of two famous noun combinations in 1960s, he named Scott Daisy Berkowitz, from Duke Daisy's jazz group and killer David Birke Berkowitz. After bassist Gide Gertan and keyboard player Madonna Wayne-Gracy joined, it was named Marilyn Manson &; The ghost children band was formally established. At the beginning of their establishment, they appeared in some paid performances, recorded their own tapes and created some special sound effects. Soon they found a suitable drummer, Li Lirui Lucas, to replace the original electronic drum machine, and later they replaced Sarah with ginger fish. Their style gradually changed from industry to hardcore. 1992 was nominated by local fans as the best non-mainstream hard rock band and the best band of the year in the Slammie Award in South Florida. The band members thought the name was too long to remember, and unanimously decided to remove the suffix and call it Marilyn Manson for short. But this did not confuse their fans. In the summer of 1993, they were nominated for five Slammie awards and finally won the heavyweight honor of the best band of the year. More importantly, Nine Inch Nails's trent reznor signed Marilyn Manson into his nihilistic record, and reached the intention of starting a trip to Nine Inch Nails in the spring of 1994. The first album "Portrait of an American Family" was also successfully released in July 1994. Nine Inch Nails's tour began to give Marilyn Manson plenty of opportunities to perform, and at the same time, Twiggy Ramirez became the new bass player, replacing the drug-addicted Jijett Gaine. During this tour, restless Marilyn Manson showed her unscrupulous personality, which led to many episodes. In addition to being banned from performing at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, when Manson was invited by Nine Inch Nails to perform on stage, he also tore up a religious book called Mormon Canon, causing angry people to destroy the dressing room crazily. In June+10 of the same year, he arranged a meeting with Dr. Anton Sando Ravi, the founder of Satan Church, and was unanimously awarded the title of' respectable'. Manson returned to Florida from her tour and was sent to prison on suspicion of rape in a nude performance in Jacksonville. As soon as he was released on bail, the band began an independent tour, and this time they became the real protagonists. In South Carolina, they were involved in an argument caused by the "chicken incident". It happened because the band decided to throw a chicken from the stage to the fans under the stage during the performance, in order to cause more crazy and hot scenes. But in fact, this chick was not torn to pieces by militant fans, but was saved by a fan. However, the ultimate fate of small animals did not dispel the rumor that Manson offered sacrifices to Satan. As a result, Manson gradually became associated with evil. 1995 10, the EP album Smells Like a Child was released, and the classic work Sweet Dream attracted the attention of many media including MTV. Suddenly, Marilyn Manson began to be widely reported. However, during the five-month tour, the band's popularity is increasing day by day, and it also faces internal contradictions, among which the violent Manson pushed Berkowitz off the stage in new york. When they returned to Florida, Berkowitz quit the band. Although some insiders later claimed that Berkowitz did not participate in the creation of the album "Antichrist Superstar" released by Marilyn Manson 1996, his name later appeared on the star list of the album, which led Berkowitz to sue Manson and claim the due royalties. After the dispute, in order to find a suitable guitarist, the band advertised in Village Voice magazine and selected Zim Zum after screening from 150 applicants. The album was released in June, 1996, 10, and quickly won the third place in the billboard chart, which received rave reviews. Compared with their earlier carnival effect, these songs injected deeper and greater enthusiasm into the lyrics and produced more serious effects. From 65438 to 0997, Marilyn Manson reached the peak of its unique style. In the short time after the launch of the anti-Christ superstar, you can see new fans wearing band T-shirts everywhere, mainstream magazines are full of interviews about them, and the radio station plays the single' The Beautiful People' all day. Strangely, although this album attracted a lot of protests, by the middle of 1998, it had sold1.4000 copies. Anyway, 1997 was their most successful moment. Although the publicity album tour met with protests in many cities in the United States, the anti-Marilyn Manson reached its peak on June 1997, and some successful protests even led to the cancellation of the performance, it did not stop Marilyn Manson from becoming a superstar in his own way. In public opinion, Marilyn Manson has always been said to be deliberately created by the rock and roll world to test the mainstream society's tolerance for extreme words and deeds. Manson even made an indecent move before singing "Beautiful People" at the MTV Music and Television Awards in September that year. But in June 1 1, the band successfully released five EP records Remix &; Confession From June 5438 to that year 10, Marilyn Manson established a solid relationship with Billy Corgan, the soul of smashing pumpkins, at the annual bridge school charity concert held in Sightseeing Mountain, California. In June165438+1October, they participated in a pumpkin-smashing performance in Florida, and Billy also helped the band correct the music direction of the next album. 1998, Marilyn Manson devoted himself to the production of his third album, but when the record was almost finished, an accident happened. Guitarist Zim Zum quit the band to seek independent development. John Lowe, nicknamed "John 5", joined the band. The music in the new album first appeared in the movie "Campus Killer" released in August. Six weeks later, this new album named Mechanical Animals was released. Although many chain stores refused to sell their provocative nude covers, this stubborn band still stubbornly followed the gorgeous rock style and lived freely with its undisguised and unscrupulous behavior. The rise of Marilyn Manson is a unique phenomenon in American society, a freak combining business and democracy, and an extreme behavior of youth culture.
