'''Brian Hugh Warner''' (stage name '''Marilyn Manson''') is the lead singer and shock artist of the band '''Marilyn Manson''' formed in 1989. In 1993, the band signed onto [[Nothing Records]] after [[Trent Reznor]] became impressed by their music. Reznor had a heavy hand in producing the records ''Portrait of an American Family'' and ''Antichrist Superstar''.

Reznor and Manson apparently had a fight over control and musical differences, but resolved it prior to the [[Starfuckers, Inc. (song)|Starfuckers, Inc.]] video.

==Interview about Nothing==

:'''Question:''' Have you considered re-releasing any of your older albums with remastered tracks, b-sides, and other goodies? Antichrist Superstar turns ten years old next year. Is there any possibility of fans getting to hear an improved mix of this milestone album in the future?

:'''Manson:''' ''I’d like to say yes, but there’s a legal matter pending that I can’t say too much about. It’s very hard to believe this, but '''representatives from Nothing Records have indicated that they are not able to find, or have lost the master recordings to my first three records'''. It’s not something that you would ever let happen in musical history. I would imagine something like that could only be intentional. If not intentional, it would have to be done only through complete disregard. Now that Nothing Records doesn’t exist, I think there’s only one of two people responsible for that. Out of those two people, there’s only one that really has an opinion of me that is voiced very often.''

:''I’m often painted as the bad guy in a relationship – in most relationships. I will not deny that I am an asshole at times. I will not deny that I’m probably completely insane, and most people will agree with that. I don’t betray people that I care about. I don’t forsake people that are important to me and I would do anything for someone I love. I don’t know what kind of people do things like that. It’s erasing history. It’s erasing your life’s work. It’s killing a part of you. I don’t know how to react to it. I’d just like to wait and see what happens because it may be just a terrible mistake. I would hope so for those involved.''

This is a jab at Manson, who did a cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" by mainly adding guitar distortion. "Personal Jesus" has been covered by numerous other artists including [[Johnny Cash]].
