These photos feature a young Marilyn Manson, the controversial singer and actor who was born Brian Hugh Warner on January 5, 1969. As a young boy, Manson looked very normal compared to what he looks like today. He rocked a bowl cut in his childhood, and couldn’t have looked more innocent.
“I created a fake world because I didn’t like the one I was living in.” – Marilyn Manson
During his childhood, one of his neighbors molested him several times until the young Brian broke down one day and told his mother what happened. The trauma put the young boy on a path of rebellion as he tried to reconcile the incidents with his daily life. His parents raised him as an Episcopalian, and he attended the religious private Heritage Christian School. It was there that he became fueled with hate towards Christanity. During his tenth grade year, he convinced his parents to let him attend a public school.
After he graduated from high school, he and his parents moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida because his father got a better job there. He studied journalism and theater at the local community college called Broward, and being some place new and feeling lonely, he wrote poems and short stories. After being fired from his last job at a record store, he became entertainment journalist for a local magazine. He interviewed several famous musicians including Trent Reznor from the band Nine Inch Nails. Along with his job and writing, he would also frequently go to rock clubs. He soon decided to create his own band.
With musical influences from Ozzy Osbourne and KISS, he recruited other musicians with the same interests and started the band called Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. He got the name Marilyn Manson as a combination from the names of the movie star Marilyn Monroe and the psycho killer Charles Manson. The band’s name would later officially change to just Mariyn Manson, and most of the original band members would leave and be replaced, too.
