The Long Hard Road Out of Hell

May 2, 2021

I remember the controversy Marilyn Manson created in the mid-late 1990s. These were my middle school and freshman/sophomore years of high school so the MTV generation was still at it's peak. There were small cliques of kids who obviously were fans (Marilyn Manson t-shirts, goth make-up and the accouterments, etc.) and then there was everyone else. There was controversy over his satanic-fueled rhetoric, his appearance, and his reputation with drugs, sex, and the Rock 'n Roll culture. Students, the news, the church, and parents were all against him in some fashion.

Brian Warner (later to become Marilyn Manson) is an interesting story but crass and vulgar. He rated his childhood from below-average to average. His story tells emotional neglect (from his father), overprotective tendencies (from his mother), resentment towards Christian values, early exposure to sexual perversions, and the lack of balanced parental involvement that created Marilyn Manson. He writes his perceptions of being the victim throughout the years: by teachers, older k

instead of a reviewing this, i’m going to leave in the caption a number of my favourite quotes from this (very satirical, falsified, fake) autobiography. it’s a masterpiece in the exploitation of christianity, and forces you to consider the fact that christianity reflects its hatred onto anyone who is remotely different, therefore calling them satanists - an entity which atheists don’t even believe in. satan, instead, is the amalgamation of everything that christians fear. therefore, the antichrist is born in each and every one of us who strays from the path.

‘everything i was doing was so much about sticking up for the underdog that i couldn’t understand how they could misassociate what i was doing like that.’

It's really a life about Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll. I was expecting something more interesting when it comes to the creation of his songs and all the Brian Warner universe, but is still quite curious, it made me want to read more about rockstars.

Talented, intelligent? Yes. Elitist, pretentious, misogynistic? YES. That's being generous.

This book is so dark and disturbing, I couldn't wait to finish it and climb out of the fucking hole surrounding me.

This was published in 1999 so hopefully some of the bizarre behaviors have changed, but I won't hold my breath.

This was sure a thing I read! Rockstar memoirs are either going to be the most profound shit or the strangest possible thing. This was somehow... A little of both but leaning more on the unhinged side.
