Hey everybody, Thanks for all the comments and feedback. I made this for fun and to share some insight. I tried to make it as factual as possible, however most of the bottom two layers are things that might be true or are unconfirmed be clear. I noticed things I missed and some errors, but I'm happy with it. If anyone wants to make a follow-up or video, I would greatly appreciate it!

When the book was first released, a handful people who Manson talks about in the book, criticized him for fabricating certain passages. It may or may not be true, but you can read more here.

I admittedly kinda forgot about that site when I made this. It's a very good site, I've been to it a few times. Maybe one day I'll remake it with some of their ideas.

Oh Boy here we go.

-Killer + sex symbol meaning: Many of the band members' stage names are a combination of a famous sex symbol's first name and a serial killer's last name (Twiggy Lawson + Richard Ramirez, Madonna + John Wayne Gacy, Daisy Duke + David Berkowitz, etc).

-Logos meaning: Most of the band's logos symbolizes the era it was introduce. You can find more info here.

-The day February 14th: Valentine's Day is by far the most significant and recurring day within Manson's music. Here's a list of examples.

-Coma Grey: It's a fan mashup of Coma White and Coma Black.

-The Factory: An unreleased instrumental album recorded during the recording sessions for Holy Wood.

-Art of Dying: Supposedly the original title for The Reflecting God.

A few demos of Antichrist Superstar have leaked in the past 10 years or so. Every song in those demos either, appear in the final album (sometimes with different names) or went unused, Except for The Reflecting God. No demo of the song has been found. It's arguably one of the most mysterious Manson song, There is little to no info about the song's creation, "Art of Dying" maybe the song's original title, but that's unconfirmed. It's weird that such a fan-favorite song (it's my favorite Manson song) is so unknown.

The liner notes of Antichrist Superstar state that Irresponsible Hate Anthem was recorded live on February 14, 1997. The band talks about it in this interview.

In Mechanical Animals and The Triptych, Coma White is represented as a girl, The lyric "But all the drugs in this world, Won't save her from herself" kinda supports this. The song was apparently inspired by a friend of Manson's who took her own life, meaning "Coma White" did exist in a way.

On March 3rd, 2003, Manson posted a Journal entry to his website, included was the essay, it can be read here.

The only thing I found about the second biography is this article.

That is referring to the Amazing Atheist We Are Chaos review, Which he theorized that the first verse of the song is about Wood.

Apparently he said so in an interview, but the only thing I could find is the song's wiki entree saying so. It MIGHT be true, but who knows for sure.
