8/01 Charlotte, NC – The Fillmore
8/02 Myrtle Beach, SC – House Of Blues
8/05 Louisville, KY – Palace Theater
Iconic rock frontman Marilyn Manson became a mainstream antihero in the ’90s — much to the chagrin of conservative politicians and concerned parents — before settling into a goth elder statesman role in the 2000s with a matured blues-rock reinvention. The self-proclaimed Antichrist Superstar, his vision of dark, arty, industrial metal pushed many of his singles — including “The Dope Show,” “The Beautiful People,” and a cover of Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” — into the upper reaches of the modern rock charts during the late ’90s and early 2000s.
Born Brian Warner, Manson was raised in Canton, Ohio. At the age of 18, he relocated to Tampa Bay, Florida, where he worked as a music journalist. In 1989, he became friends with guitarist and fellow outsider Scott Mitchell; the two soon decided to form a band, with Mitchell rechristening himself Daisy Berkowitz and Warner adopting the name Marilyn Manson. With the addition of bassist Gidget Gein and keyboardist Madonna Wayne-Gacy, the group — originally dubbed Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids — began self-releasing cassettes and playing gigs, their gothic stage show notable for Manson’s elaborate makeup and homemade special effects. Jettisoning their drum machine in favor of Sara Lee Lucas, the band’s sound began taking on a harder edge, and by 1992 they were among the most popular acts in the South Florida area.
