TV review: Marilyn Manson Unmasked — a damning look past the shock-rock persona

His sex-with-minors ‘banter’ riled up adult America and attracted a young fan base with equal effect. The question remains – was Warner a sex-offender hiding in plain sight?

'I never liked Manson, his music is terrible and his shock-rock persona is laughably bad. I dislike him a lot more after watching this.' 

There is an eerie foreshadowing early in Marilyn Manson: Unmasked (Channel 4), when they get onto lunchboxes. 

Goth r ock star Manson (real name Brian Hugh Warner) and his band carried childish lunchboxes as part of their shtick, so some younger female fans did the same.
