Marilyn Manson

American rock band founded by Marilyn Manson and Daisy Berkowitz in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1989. Originally under the name Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, the band gained local notoriety in its early years through theatrical live performances; in 1993, Marilyn Manson became the first band to sign with Nothing Records, a label founded by Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor. Until 1996, the alias of each member of the band was formed by adding the names of sex symbols on the one hand and the names of famous criminals on the other; in this way, in particular, the name of the band itself and the alias of its frontman were compiled. The composition of the band, with the exception of Manson himself, changed very often.
