I own this video and it's mostly old band members and ex girlfriends bashing him and the rest of the band. I do not advise true fans to buys this because it's unauthorized and it just doesn't have that much info that isn't already know from his book that he wrote himself. In my opinion, I say don't bother with this video, read his book if you want info about the band.

Nowhere else are the types of interviews with the people who know Manson and his bandmates best, those who have known them since before their ascent to stardom, available, and in such a comprehensively abundant format. You'll get to see ex-bandmates, ex-managers, club owners who gave Manson his first breaks into the business. Most of them had positive things to say. And then there was the one person who knows him probably better than anyone else on this planet; his ex-girlfriend Missi. I was greatly saddened watching this video, wondering how, just as he was on the precipice of his greatest hour, he could have allowed her to get away. Surprisingly, she wasn't bitter, in the least, and only had good things to say about Manson and company. I think that says something about Manson's character - you'd have to be a pretty special person to end a six year relationship with someone, yet have them wishing you only the best. I found that deeply touching. There is also old footage of earlier bands he and his base player, Twiggy Ramirez were in, and lots of home-movie footage of themselves at home, and with friends. If you're into Manson, this is the one movie you must see. It will answer questions about who he is as a person like no other source will. His biography, The Long Hard Road out of Hell is a great look at his life, but this movie is fascinating, because it's all from the perspective of those who know him, and you get to hear the story of his climb to fame from those surrounding him. It adds a lot of insight. I would strongly suggest this to anyone evenly remotely curious about him as an excellent place to start learning about who Marilyn Manson is, both as an artist, and as a human being.

The video is amazing and shows you so many things that you have read about and things that you havnt.There are interviews with old members such as gidget gein and zsa zsa spek also there is live footage of Ambugalard(Twiggys orginal band) and Mrs Scabtree(Marilyns side project).The whole video is set in there very early days and deals mainly with there image and the band itsself and what they went through rather than talking about the albums and songs in fact the album Anti-Christ superstar is hardly mentioned at all.In all its a must for any manson fan.

This video is one of the best Manson videos I've ever seen. It is real and tells it like it really is. No bull just the facts. Plus it has some really cool camcorder footage that shows the Mansons as they truly are. This footage was not meant to get out to the general public. It also has really good interviews with people who really know Manson. I loved it. It's better than any other Manson video I've seen so far. It also has early Scabtree footage with Twiggy leading on vocals as well as tons of concert footage.

interesting for people like me who always want to know more about Manson, but if you are just a casual listener this will probably be boring for you.

I am a fan of Marilyn Manson and really like watching music DVDs, but this one wasn't good. No music, or even videos, just kicked out band members doing a lot of whining. Don't bother with this one.

Yeah, actually it's better, as Kurt and Courtney was a little bit boring at times. This one is a must have for Manson fans. Missy is a really beautiful person, she speaks about a lot of aspects, but it feels sincere, not prefabricated or like she's trying to win people. You MUST watch this video, although it gets prety explicit at times, and it's funny as hell.

This is a great movie if you are a True marilyn Manson Fan. It tells you a lot about him you won't find in books and it covers his life realy well.

Being a Manson fan, I was appauled by this video. The interviews are stupid and with people who no one cares about. The deaf girl who if you dont know about, read his book, is the most annoying person in the world. I strongly recommend you get Dead to the World or God is in the TV instead.
