Most of their early music technically falls under Industrial Rock, but they have since embraced influences from a variety of rock subgenres including goth and glam.The band are without a doubt best known from the image of them conjured by the public at the height of their popularity in the 1990s, including the recurring summary of their work as "Shock Rock" (a label they resented, as they felt they never were trying to be shocking, but just doing what they wanted). Their graphic imagery and conceptual basis in critiquing and satirizing mainstream American media won them a reputation of a kind seldom seen before in music, to the tune of protests and petitions to cancel performances alongside states passing legislation to ban the group from performing at state-owned venues. In fact, the moral panic against them was so great that they were blamed for the Columbine massacre by sections of the media under the belief that the killers had been inspired by their music.note Ironically, the killers hated them and saw them as sell-outs, and were fans of KMFDM and Rammstein instead.On the surface, this seems like an easy mistake to make. Throughout their career, Marilyn Manson have made good use of explicit live shows, controversial lyrics and outright bizarre music videos. The songs are cynical, with many lampooning topics such as religion, conformism and social hierarchy. Nothing was off-limits, including certain members of the band's own fanbase. Despite this, several of the songs and most of the videos don't give their meaning up easily, and are open to multiple interpretations.Due to the fact that the band name is also the lead singer's stage name, Marilyn Manson is one of the most notorious examples of I Am the Band in existence. Many people are not, in fact, aware that they are a band, and credit all the group's music to the singer alone. The number of former band members doesn't help — Marilyn Manson's lineup changes almost constantly, and they have gone through 17 guitarists, bassists, drummers and keyboardists in just 20 years.Members:Current: Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner) – lead vocals Paul Wiley – guitars, backing vocals Juan Alderete – bass, backing vocalsFormer: Ginger Fish (Ken Wilson) - drums, percussion, piano Mark Chaussee - guitars (touring) Rob Holliday - bass, guitars (touring) Wes Borland - guitars (touring) Zsa Zsa Speck (Perry Pandrea) - keyboards Olivia Newton Bundy (Brian Tutunick) - bass Gidget Gein (Brad Stewart) (deceased) - bass Twiggy Ramirez (Jeordie White) - bass, occasional backing vocals at live shows Sara Lee Lucas (Frederick Streithorst) - drums, percussion Daisy Berkowitz (Scott Putesky) (deceased) - guitars Zim Zum (Tim Linton) - guitars John 5 (John Lowery) - guitars Madonna Wayne Gacy (Stephen Bier) - keyboards Tim Skold - guitars, bass Chris Vrenna - keyboards, percussion Jason Sutter - drums (touring) Andy Gerold - bass (touring) Fred Sablan - bass (touring) Spencer Rollins - keyboards (touring) Daniel Fox - keyboards, percussion Tyler Bates – lead guitar, backing vocals Gil Sharone – drums Brandon Pertzborn - DrumsDiscography: Portrait of an American Family (1994) Smells Like Children (1995) (EP) Antichrist Superstar (1996) Remix & Repent (1997) (EP) Mechanical Animals (1998) Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) (2000) The Golden Age of Grotesque (2003) Eat Me, Drink Me (2007) The High End of Low (2009) Born Villain (2012) The Pale Emperor (2015) Heaven Upside Down (2017) We Are Chaos (2020)
