Marilyn manson brian hugh warner biography

“The lines between acceptable hedonism and criminal conduct in music have always been extremely blurry,” says Jason Newman, news director for Rolling Stone, in Channel 4’s gripping three-part documentary Marilyn Manson: Unmasked. It is exactly this “blurriness” that the musician born Brian Warner is said to have manipulated in order to carry out sickening abuse and assault of multiple women over his decades-long career (he denies all of the allegations against him).

From the first episode, it is made abundantly clear that Warner’s magnetism and charm played a huge role in his success.

“He was very charismatic and I was drawn to that,” superfan Jennifer Pavao recalls. She is instantly likeable – one of those people who always seem cheerful – as she details how she struggled to fit in when her family moved to Florida. It was only when she stumbled upon Warner’s band, Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, after they formed in 1989, that she felt as though she’d found her tribe.
