An animal slaughter in front of an audience, sex orgies on stage - what's true, what's not? Marilyn Manson is a myth. But basically a fairly normal person with a pronounced need for attention.
Marilyn Manson does not kill innocent animals. On stage, however, the goth rocker is provocative - and likes to get below the belt. In private, Brian Warner, which is the musician's real name, is rather reserved. Group sex? No, thank you! "No lights should be on. I'm very shy, even if it's hard to imagine." For his audience, Marilyn Manson plays the eccentric, wearing pale make-up and strutting across the stage with bloodshot eyes. The music: dark synth sounds, heavy guitars and demonic whispering voices. "I have created an artificial world. Maybe because I didn't like the one I was living in." At his private Christian school, he was told early on what was appropriate and what was not. Little Brian always did the opposite. He listened to heavy metal and later became an honorary member of the "Church Of Satan" with the release of his first record. Marilyn Manson is the link between good and evil. This is causing a worldwide sensation. The shock rocker is now touring Europe with his tenth album "Heaven Upside Down" in his luggage. And is also teaching the Swiss to fear.
