The self-proclaimed 'Antichrist Superstar' Marilyn Manson was indisputably among the most notorious and controversial entertainers of the 1990s. Manson was the latest in a long line of shock rockers, rising to the top of the charts on a platform of sex drugs and Satanism. His brand of metal struck a major chord with the youth market and thus establishing him as a mainstream anti-hero. Notorious highlights include Manson ripping apart a copy of the Book of Mormon while onstage and The Church of Satan's founder Anton LaVey also bestowed upon him the title of 'Reverend'. The concerts are regularly picketed by civic groups, and his music was the subject of widespread attacks from the right-wing and religious fronts. Seven albums on Manson released 'The Golden Age Of Grotesque' in 2003. (KEYSTONE/CAMERA PRESS/Nick Wilson) === , SPECIAL FEES ===
