Talk:Marilyn Manson
How could he have served in Vietnam if he was born in 69?
High School
Umm...Marilyn Manson did not graduate from GlenOak High. I am from Ft. Lauderdale and know that he went to Cardinal Gibbons High.
Rewrite
This article has a lot of unscholarly wording in it, though I wouldn't call it POV asuch.
An example is at the bottom of the Early Years section:
- Little did he know this is exactly what a man named Trent Reznor would do for him on a grander scale years later.
This probably shouldn't even have been in the Early Years section. If anybody gets the point and cares about Marilyn Manson enough, please fix this article!

I'm not sure it was an interview with Trent Reznor that put Marilyn Manson on the path of rock stardom ("Career Musician" section). I swear I remember an interview I read once with the editor of the magazine/journal (whatever) that Marilyn Manson 'worked' (I think it was volunteer work), where the editor talks about sending Manson to interview Thrill Kill Kult and Manson returning visibly... affected. If i recall correctly it is then that Marilyn Manson got the band Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids together... does this sound familiar to anyone else? Naufana 21:23, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
Did he really play the triangle in high school, or is that just a joke? Everyking 01:50, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'd be interested to see the source for a lot of the information in this article. And is it just me, or does the author almost sound like he's trying to defend Marylin Manson?

Triangle
Yes, Manson did play triangle in band. Read his autobiography "The Long Hard Road Out of Hell". Much of this article gets its sources from that book.

Imo, there should be much more about the controversy around him and his on these matters. For example, why some people accused him of being largely responsible for the Columbine killings, what was his defence against that and last but not least what the interview by Michael Moore in Bowling for Columbine did for him. Considering my mediocre English and the current strict Site-your-sources and no-original-research policies I don't dare to add it, but I am sure someone else can.

- Funny thing is, in the film (and many other places) they say that the Columbine killers listened to Marilyn Manson, but in reality, they did not. Anyways, there is a clip of the Marilyn Manson interview on the Bowling for Columbine website. 69.236.72.116 07:02, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Category
It would be good if a Category page was created for Manson like Hunter S. Thompson has and it could list band members, films and albums etc.
What do you think? --Jimmyjrg 08:19, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Ribs
Is it true that Manson has had lower ribs removed for purposes of Autofellatio? 82.38.78.129 17:22, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Nope. In his autobio he said something like "If I could suck my own dick, I wouldn't bother making music, I wouldn't even leave the house." --BadSeed 17:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Better picture
Would it not make a lot more sense to have a picture of the person and not his costume/makeup?
What would be even better would be would be two pictures, like a comparison.--Jimmyjrg 02:53, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
homosexual encounter with Danny Lohner
The external reference didn't contain anything about it (not that particular page, anyway) and I'm very skeptical? Anybody know anything about this? -VJ 06:04, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
