Marilyn Manson: The Afterlife Of Brian
Steven Wells, NME, 30 August 1992
You may think that MARILYN MANSON (or Brian to his mum) is just a spooky goth who smokes human bones and sings about scabby angels (which is all true) but really, kids, he's on your side! Because anything that gets the Bible-bashing right wing loonies in such a flap has to be a good thing, right? STEVEN WELLS enters the dark side to fight the real enemy.
