Marilyn Manson (person)

Marilyn Manson (real name Brian Hugh Warner; born January 5, 1969) is an American musician and the leader of the band Marilyn Manson. Known for anti-religious, profane, and provocative lyrics and behavior, he has been the subject of much controversy, particularly during the late 1990s.

Early life

A Canton, Ohio native and the son of Hugh and Barbara Warner. Hugh 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 a Christian school, but was alienated by what he saw as hypocrisy, and a religion that seemed to teach fear more than it taught virtues. Brian graduated from Glen Oak High School, where he joined a band, in which he started out playing percussion instruments like bass and snare drum, but ended up playing triangle. After his graduation, the Warner family moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
