Description:

Diehard supporters of everyone's favorite anti-Pope will want Demystifying the Devil, if only because Marilyn Manson is all things to all of them--cutting-edge nu-nasty rock theater act or slacker antihero, you takes your choice. However, this very, very unauthorized--and unintentionally hilarious--biography (there's no footage of young Brian himself or his immediate musical circle other than a few seconds of blurry concert material) is also informative viewing for the merely curious. It mostly consists of rambling anecdotes from people who either were associated with him before he became famous or were ejected from his entourage, and it soon becomes clear that MM was and remains a genuinely talented visionary. If you're a fan, you'll have your faith confirmed. If you're not, you'll still end up feeling strangely pleased that both Manson and those he left behind are getting the respective levels of attention they deserve. --Roger Thomas
