[[Image:Mansonwiki.jpg|thumb|Brian Warner aka Marilyn Manson]]'''Brian Hugh Warner''' (better known by his stage name '''Marilyn Manson''') (born January 5, 1969) is the lead singer and shock artist of the band [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]], formed in 1989. In 1993, the band signed to [[Nothing Records]] after correspondance correspondence with [[Trent Reznor]], who was impressed by their music. Reznor had a heavy hand in producing the 1994 record ''[[Portrait of an American Family]]'' and many members of [[Nine Inch Nails]] performed and co-wrote songs featured on 1996's ''[[Antichrist Superstar]].'' Reznor also produced EPs, single tracks, and remixes in between these records. Reznor and Manson are rumored to have fought over control and musical differences prior to the recording of ''Mechanical Animals,'' causing a rift in their friendship and a series of media feuds, but resolved it prior to the "[[Starfuckers, Inc. (song)#Music Video|Starfuckers, Inc." video]], which Manson appeared in and co-directed. The two performed the song live in New York City at Madison Square Garden on [[2000/05/09 New York, NY|May 9th, 2000]]. However, further feuding and mudslinging continued on and off for many years.
==Interview about Nothing==
:'''Question:''' Have you considered re-releasing any of your older albums with remastered tracks, b-sides, and other goodies? Antichrist Superstar turns ten years old next year. Is there any possibility of fans getting to hear an improved mix of this milestone album in the future?
The first sign of this reconciliation was Manson's presence and co-directing credit for Nine Inch Nails' "Starfuckers, Inc." music video. Later that year, Manson made a surprise appearance at Nine Inch Nails' concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City, joining the band at the end of "Starfuckers, Inc." before performing "[[The Beautiful People]]." The reconciliation did not last long, however, as soon after, they were once again exchanging barbs at each other through the press and their websites.
Reznor and Manson continue continued their feud. Reznor has called Manson "unhealthy to be around" while Manson doesn't understand why they're fighting but adds that he's more "dangerous" than Reznor despite Reznor's muscle gain in recent years. It is widely believed that Manson's drug and alcohol consumption are a major factor in Reznor's unwillingness to reconcile. Recently in In early 2009, Trent was quoted calling Manson a "dopey clown" and that his skills and wits of writing have been dulled due to substance abuse, though firmly believes he has a good talent. Manson responded by making a passing mention and a joke about the nickname later on in the summer in an interview.
In an interview in January 2011, Reznor was asked if he would ever work with Manson again. He responded by saying he's open to anything and that his former protégé “is a talented person” and that “we’ve had our problems, but I wear suits… I'm an adult now”.
In a 2012 interview with AZ Central when asked about if a future box set was able to be released without any issues with Interscope Records and Reznor, Manson stated 'No. That part of the whole record deal on our end is through. The only unfortunate part of that is that some of the mixes have been destroyed. But he didn't destroy the mixes I care about. I don't have any bad feelings towards him. I really don't. He helped put me out into the world and I went my way and whatever happened happened. I don't think you should go back and fix things that have already been done anyway.' When asked if there would be no hard feelings if Reznor and Manson did cross paths, Manson said 'No. I don't think there is tension. I don't think we ever really had a lot in common. We had a certain sense of humor in common. He was always more of the jock and I was more of the burnout.'
During a 2017 appearance on ''The Howard Stern Show'', Manson stated that the rift between himself and Reznor was healed. Reznor had reached out to him via Tyler Bates and also mentioned that he still had the masters for ''Antichrist Superstar''.[https://www.howardstern.com/show/2017/9/19/marilyn-manson-talks-pilates-his-next-music-video-johnny-depp-and-how-he-and-trent-reznor-became-friends-again/] In another interview with Zane Lowe conducted that same week, Manson stated that he would love to work with Reznor again.[https://www.nme.com/news/music/marilyn-manson-speaks-current-relationship-trent-reznor-2142436]
