MARILYN MANSON BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
The first signs of Marilyn Manson was in 1989 in Southern
Florida, when Manson, then a Ohio-born photojournalism major,
and Daisy, then a guitarist who had been through five bands,
came together and formed a band. Their names were changed to
Marilyn Manson and Daisy Berkowitz. The names would come from
different tabloid TV shit.
By 1990, Marilyn Manson became Marilyn Manson and the Spooky
Kids. Manson was singer, Daisy the lead guitar, Gidget Gein as
bass, Madonna Wayne Gacy on the keyboards (he replaced the
original keyboardist: Zsa Zsa Speck), and a drum machine. They
opened for NIN, and Trent was very impressed with them and would
help them in the future in many different ways.
In 1991, Sara Lee Lucas replaced the old drum machine, and in
1992, Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids became just Marilyn
Manson. By then, they had gathered fame all over the locals.
They even won two straight Band of Year honors at a local music
award thing. Singles such as "Dope Hat", "Lunchbox", "My Monkey"
had already won the support of the people.
1993 was a very busy year. They got a contract from Trent
Reznor's new own label Nothing and got a spot on NIN's 94 tour.
The making of their first album, "Portrait of an American Family",
was underway. Trent Reznor was the producer of the album.
At the end of 93, Gidget Gein, bass, was no more a part of the
band. His is drug problems had apparently gone out of hand.
Twiggy Ramirez, from Amboog-A-Lard, became the new bassist. |
