[Intro]
— I want to know, um, why it is that all of you seem to have Satanic signs all over you and what is it that make... Does this music cause you to do what you do?
— Is that directed at us or the parents?
— That's funny, Twiggy. That's your little tape recorder, okay?
— Does the music cause us to do what we do? We cause the music to do what it does, I think, I think moshing is a sign of what christians would call, uh, the Apocalypse

[Outro]
The gnashing of teeth
The Apocalypse
The Apocalypse

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.

—Marylin Manson
