Marilyn Manson Download is an American rock band from Fort Lauderdale,
Florida. Formed in 1989 by Brian Warner and Scott Putesky, the group was
originally named Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids with their
uniquely theatrical performances gathering a local cult following in the
early 1990s. This attention subsequently developed into a worldwide
fanbase. The band's lineup has changed between many of their album
releases. The current members of Marilyn Manson are the eponymous lead
singer, guitarist Twiggy Ramirez (who previously played bass), bassist
Fred Sablan and touring drummer Jason Sutter.
Although grounded in industrial metal, the band has come to be known for altering both its image and its musical trappings frequently; the group's sound incorporating, at various stages, elements of spoken word poetry, glam rock, vaudeville and burlesque.
Up until 1996, the name of each member was originally created by combining the first name of an iconic female sex symbol and the last name of an iconic serial killer (Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson), doing so to demonstrate the odd dichotomy of American society as a critical and, simultaneously, laudatory appraisal of the US and its peculiar culture. The members of the band dress in outlandish makeup and costumes, and have engaged in intentionally shocking behavior both onstage and off. In the past, their lyrics often received criticism for their anti-religious sentiment and references to sex, violence and drugs. Their performances have frequently been called offensive and obscene, and, on several occasions, protests and petitions have led to the group being banned from performing.
