Marilyn Manson is a shock rock band that started in the early 90's. The band was at first called Marilyn Manson And The Spooky Kids and eventually dropped it to just Marilyn Manson, was locally popular for creepy and weird live performances. The band finally put together an album which was released in 1994 it was titled "Portrait Of An American Family" it had a lot a good music on it with singles like "Lunchbox" and "Get Your Gun". Over the course of 6 years and 3 more records Manson kept the great music coming with some very odd live performances mostly doing them all half naked and with a lot of make up. I like him as an artist because he is different and he is probably the most lyrically genius artist he questions peoples morals and flips their values around trying to show people the other side of things. This often lead parent to believe that he was a bad influence on kids. To me he is just trying to get people to do what they believe in and stop following what everyone else is doing. And then in 2000 bestfriend of Manson and guitarist Twiggy Remirez quit pursuing other interests. The band let another album out 3 years after the departure of guitarist and it was a pretty great album a lot of heavy songs and a couple lighter ones. Some great songs on the album were "Saint" and "Ka Boom Ka Boom". Finally after that record this is were the band started to suck a little because they went a lot softer since Manson was going threw a tough time with divorce and other personal issues the next two records " Eat Me Drink Me" released in 2007 was just alright and then " High End Of Low" released in 2010 with the return of bestfriend Twiggy was better then the previews album but not anything like the old music. The band is now doing another new album set to be out in 2011 it is supposed to be a lot heavier and more like the older style Marilyn Manson i will be very happy.

I’ve never heard of any of these bands before in my entire life. Well I’ve heard of Marilyn Manson, that’s why I am posting a comment on this particular post, but I’m more of a Marianas Trench type of a gal. Although I’m not educated in this type of music, you seem to know a great deal of information on various bands. Great job on your blog.
