marilyn manson and the spooky kids was great because brian warner was like “i want to thrash around onstage in leather shorts and rainbow striped tights because of my religious trauma” and trent reznor was like “alright i’ll sign you onto my new vanity label but only if we can have a toxic yaoi enemies to lovers thing that ends in next-level drama” and daisy berkowitz was like “brian warner has tricked me, guitarist and closeted homosexual scott putesky, into being here, so i’m going to portray a closeted homosexual” and gidget gein was like “i’m in a metal lunchbox commercial!”

(He looks so cute with that smeared makeup)

Just imagine being able to see the band live, meet Daisy and not only take a picture with him but him also giving you a ride home!

Was Scott/Daisy Berkowitz really a Jew

Yes, he was. He said an interview that his family was Jewish.

And, um... Not be a buzzkill, but he's buried in a Jewish cemetery, the Temple Beth El Mausoleum in Boca Raton. He currently shares a crypt with his mother, who died the year after him.

Do you think ERW and Esme Bianco are telling the truth about Marilyn Manson?

To be brutally honest, yes, I do. I admittedly do not know much about Evan or Esme, but I do know quite a bit about Marilyn Manson. And he has a long history of threatening to kill and assault people who piss him off and generally comes off as a control freak, sadist, and bully in his autobiography, interviews, and accounts of former bandmates. So him also being a generally shitty and abusive romantic partner does not surprise me much.

There are compilations online that list his history of threatening violence, but they‘re all actually incomplete. I‘ve yet to see any the time he bragged about beating up his mother in his autobiography or the times in 1999 and 2009 when he threatened to serious harm against his former bandmates, Scott Putesky and Stephen Bier, because he was big mad that they had both sued him for his financial fuckery.

I’m not going to post his account of his assaults on his mother right now (because I only have a old print copy of that book), but I will say that there are at the end of chapter 3 if you want to verify that I am telling the truth. He also talks in this chapter about his father’s violent outbursts and intense jealousy toward his mother. Assuming he was telling the truth about that, he honestly sounds rather like a chip off the old block.

As for the other things...

If you’re interested, this is an online transcript of the article of Alternative Nation where he threatened Scott Putesky.

The article also has him acting like a jackass toward his assistant and several fans, humiliating his then-guitarist John 5 in public for shits and giggles, bragging about forcing Jonathan Davis of Korn to use drugs again, threatening to stab Jonathan’s child, and discusses how he was being sued yet again at the time for having his bodyguards assault the then-editor of Spin magazine, Craig Marks.

(As might be expected, he also lies brazenly about the lawsuit and whines about how unjustified it was. Unfortunately, actual accounts of Scott Putesky’s living circumstances c. 1997-8 and the fact that he also got sued around the same time by former drummer Fred Streithorst and former bassist Brad Stewart make his attempted justifications sound fishier than a herring gutter’s fingernails.)

The MySpace blog where he threatened to doxx Stephen Bier and his family so fans could kill and/or harass them has since been deleted, but there’s a basic copy of what it said here:

“I don’t want this to be confused as anger. I feel nothing for a person that betrayed me and my band. My band. And I’m sure that if anyone wants to discuss this with him personally, I won’t be so rude to NOT give you his or his family’s addresses. Since I payed [sic] for both soon to be destroyed buildings. That’s at least what I just had a dream of, that I awoke from. So good luck to you, sir. You are gonna need it. Sweet dreams.”

Around the same time, Manson also threatened to kill the journalist Travis Keller in another MySpace blog, because Keller made fun of him in an interview.

Mind you, I don’t think any actual physical harm ever came to Putesky, Bier, or Keller (though the same cannot be said for Barbara Warner or Craig Marks) and yeah, his threats are incredibly cringy, but it does establish a pattern of behavior nonetheless.

january 5, 1969

Marilyn Manson is born Brian Hugh Warner in Canton, Ohio. Contrary to the urban myth, Warner does not start his entertainment career playing Paul on The Wonder Years (that would be Josh Saviano). After a stint as a music journalist, he teams up with guitarist Scott "Daisy Berkowitz" Putesky and reinvents himself as Marilyn Manson in 1989.
