About this listen

When this bestselling autobiography was originally released, readers were 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 bestselling 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 hardcover. In the shocking and candid memoir, Manson takes readers 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.""

Interesting insight into Marilyn mansons life

No BS and honest account. Even though I only know a couple of his songs, I really enjoyed it and found myself listening to his music in between listening to the book. A few messed up stories but who doesn’t have some of those in their life.

Loved the honesty

Well written and insightful regarding the artists formative years, influences and early adulthood. The robotic style of narration detracted from the content at times. An updated version including his / their outlook on the world today would be an interesting read.

Articulate and funny, at times disturbing.
