'''Brian Hugh Warner (better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson)''' (born January 5, 1969) is the lead singer and shock artist of the band [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]], formed in 1989. In 1993, the band signed to [[Nothing Records]] after correspondance with [[Trent Reznor]], who was impressed by their music. Reznor had a heavy hand in producing the 1994 record ''Portrait of an American Family'' and many members of [[Nine Inch Nails]] performed and co-wrote songs featured on 1996's ''Antichrist Superstar.'' Reznor also produced EPs, single tracks, and remixes in between these records.
Reznor and Manson are rumored to have fought over control and musical differences prior to the recording of ''Mechanical Animals,'' causing a rift in their friendship and a series of media feuds, but resolved it prior to the "[[Starfuckers, Inc. (song)#Music Video|Starfuckers, Inc." video]], in which Manson appeared in and directed. The two performed the song live in New York City at Madison Square Garden in on [[2000/05/09 New York, NY|May 5th, 2000]]. However, recent interviews have indicated that the two are up to old tricks again.

In 1997, [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] was tapped to produce the soundtrack to the film ''Lost Highway.'' Reznor would end up getting the job, a move that Manson found hard to forgive. Over the next two years, Reznor and Manson exchanged harsh words but in 2000 they seemed to reconcile their differences, citing what they perceived as a threat to modern music: the resurgence of boy bands and the rise of "nü-metal."
