MARILYN MAN5ON

Marilyn Manson became controversial by design, rather than by accident.
Florida group, Marilyn Manson were formed in 1990 with the intention of 'exploring the limits of censorship'.
In keeping with this image, they were the first band to be signed to Trent Reznor ( Nine Inch Nails) and John A. Malm Jr's Nothing label.
Support slots with the likes of Suicidal Tendencies, Meat Beat Manifesto, Murphy's Law and the Genitorturers brought them considerable local recognition, in the form of the 1993 'Slammy' awards (taking the song of the year nomination for 'Dope Hat') and sundry other baubles (not short-heading Gloria Estefan for the Best Local Musician category in South Florida Magazine).
Reznor also acted as guest musician and executive producer on the group's 1994 debut album, where half of the tracks mixed at the Sharon Tate house where NIN have also recorded.



Marilyn Manson's Band is...
Mr Manson (Brian Warner)(vocals, pan flute, and guitar)
Daisy Berkowitz (guitar)(Later repalced by Zim Zum (guitar) who has now left the band)
Twiggy Ramirez (bass)
Madonna Wayne Gacy (Hammond organ, all keyboards, tape loops)
Sara Lee Lucas (drums).
(Ginger fish, John5, MW Gacy)

Berkowitz departed in June 1996. He later sued the band for unpaid royalties and breach of contract. He was replaced by Zim Zum who is now no longer with the band.
