{Disclaimer}All right, so for any of you who don't know me too well, you may understandably be inclined to assume the worst in my making this thread. With that in mind, I want to assure you that I do not sympathise with Manson in any way, nor do I view what he did or what he stood for in a positive light at all. I made this thread purely out of the fact that he was indeed a singer and his music for the most part does not relate to his cult leadership or crimes. That'll be my clarification, carry on.

he's a Baritone?

This is one side of Manson that always fascinated me, he was a really good Singer-Songwriter. looking back, it's sad that all the potential he had got lost in a sea of crime, violence and mental illness that was imposable for him to recover from.
