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".

The only thing to make this book better is having Marilyn Manson himself narrating (although this narrator had a great soothing quality to his voice).

This was a great sneak peak into what makes MM tick. There were a lot of jaw dropping stories and times where I couldn't stop laughing. I also really loved the testimonies and Affidavit readings. Those were quite a spectacle. Fantastic!

Beyond my expectations! Great stories!

This book was enjoyable, I didn’t want it to end. I feel like I know Marilyn on some sort of personal level now. This book is authentic, raw, and vulnerable! Manson is a very intelligent man and articulates his thoughts well. I highly recommend! This will be a book I come back to and read again. Would be cool if he wrote another book from 1998 onwards!

Liked Marilyn Manson when I was younger. Now really am disturbed by what he did to fans that wanted to meet him backstage. Making people “confess” their most vulnerable details about their private lives. Who does that to people? I’m normally not a judgmental person but He almost gets a sadistic pleasure out of playing with and manipulating people. Its really disappointing to look behind this curtain.

The narrator did an excellent job.

Questionable ethics.

Well I was hoping for an intelligent bio and what I got was your typical rock and roll star story but perhaps that's just how he had to evolve. I read Steven Tyler's story which is some what similar. I'd like him to write how his life has evolved since this book was written. I think he has so much more to offer.

Sex, drugs and rock and roll

Narrator was excellent. I found the autobiography itself to be embellished and greasy. I am a person who can separate the art from the person, however there's a lot to unpack here.

Dude needs to come down off his high horse. What an atrocious account of events, start to finish. Honestly, a cringe inducing listen. So many “WTF” moments.

Calm down Holden Caulfield.

f@cked up for sure! pretty sure a few things are made up and not true about one of the women in this book?! Harsh kind of life to live. would have preferred the author to be the narrator's voice. how can anyone seriously enjoy this kind of life. I do feel sorry for Brian. sad

meh. what's good?
