About this listen

When this best-selling autobiography was originally released, everyone was shocked: The Long Hard Road Out of Hell was the darkest, funniest, most controversial and best-selling rock book of its time - and it became the template, both visually and narratively, for almost every rock book since. Marilyn Manson is not just a music icon, it turned out, but one of the best storytellers of his generation. Written with best-selling author Neil Strauss and modeled on Dante's Inferno, this edition of The Long Hard Road out of Hell features a bonus chapter not in the original book. In the shocking and candid memoir, Manson takes listeners from backstage to emergency rooms to jail cells, from the pit of despair to the top of the charts, and recounts his metamorphosis from a frightened Christian schoolboy into the most feared and revered music superstar in the country. Along the way you'll hear what happens to fans - and celebrities - who dare to venture backstage with the one of the world's most dangerous rock stars. In the words of Elle magazine, the book "makes Madonna's infamous Sex seem downright wholesome in comparison".

Wow

Bought this thinking ok what's this guy really about because ive never understood him beforehand. What I got was much much more. Maybe I'll never really understand Marilyn Manson but this book really was honesty at it's best. I truly got more than I had anticipated! Definitely would recommend and worth buying!

not impressed

Struggled to finish it. Story is juvenile. I liked MM before reading this book. I'm a fan of anti-facism but I heard more about disgusting treatment of people and teen-like partying. Not much substance.

Raw deal

It's good to understand every side of Marilyn Manson; the good, the bad, the untamed, and the uncensored version.

Only wish this was read by Manson

The book seemed to be chronological for the most part. All the interesting history behind the band was kinda in there but it was more of how people were morons and close minded. There are some sick twisted stories. I only wish Manson would revisit this book and narrate it himself.

not too shabby.

as a big manson fan, i really did enjoy this book. my only complaint was i feel like i wanted to know more in depth detail about the music and less about the partying and girls lol like they were interesting but overall good quick listen

Great entertainment

I really enjoyed this listen it was entertaining if nothing more. I've always been a fan of Manson's music and despite the terrible things about him in the news it was enjoyable.
