Marilyn Manson’s greatest and most popular songs
Marilyn Manson, who’s said to have sparked so much sensationalism that many kids were banned by their parents from attending his concerts.
Even the band name—combining Marilyn Monroe’s sensuality and tragic aura with Charles Manson’s brutality and cult infamy—makes it clear how surreal it is.
I’ve put together a song list from a band with a core, horror-tinged worldview and exceptionally rare musical talent.

The Mephistopheles Of Los AngelesMarilyn Manson
A track released as a single in 2015 by Marilyn Manson, an American rock band active since 1989.
It’s a mid-tempo, blues-inspired rock track.
It became a hit in countries such as Poland and reached No.
3 on the German charts.
DisassociativeMarilyn Manson
When people think of Marilyn Manson, relatively aggressive songs like “The Beautiful People” are famous, but this one feels steeped in gloom and languor, which I think makes it fitting as a depression song.
It wasn’t released as a single, so you can only hear it on the album.
Killing StrangersMarilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson’s song “Killing Strangers,” released in 2014, is also featured on the soundtrack of the popular film John Wick starring Keanu Reeves.
It’s said that the song was influenced by Manson’s father’s experiences with PTSD from the Vietnam War, and its poignant melody—an alternative rock piece with blues elements—conveys the futility of war and the cycle of violence.
While it may seem far removed from the typical image of the band Marilyn Manson, it’s worth knowing that they created a song like this.
This Is HalloweenMarilyn Manson
When you think of Halloween, the rock band that likely comes to mind first is Marilyn Manson.
This is a cover of a song from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, and with Marilyn Manson performing it, the sense of fear is amplified!
