Why does Marilyn keep calling himself by so many different names?
Well the name Marilyn Manson came about when he was writing for a local Fort Lauderdale newspaper. He had just started Marilyn Manson (the band) and wanted to give himnself a review but he wasn’t allowed to give a review of his own band. So he wrote the review anyways, but in the article he changed the singer’s name from Brian Warner (Marilyn’s birth name)to Marilyn Manson so his boss wouldn’t fire him. From then on that was his alias and everyone began calling him that. As for Anti-Christ Superstar, that was obviously the name of his 3rd album. But it was also what Marilyn had evolved into. Not an opposition to Christ, but rather the Nietzche “overman” concept. The Overman or Anti-Christ as described by Nietzche, was the “redeeming man whose strength and isolation would be misunderstood by many, but he would be the victor over nothingness, nihilism, the weak, and ‘god'”. Marilyn is now known as Omega, for more info on Omega, visit my “Interpreting Mechanical Animals”page.
