“The Beautiful People” in Guns, God and Government by Marilyn Manson

Guns, God and Government was a world tour by Marilyn Manson between 2000 and 2001, promoting the album Holy Wood. With theatrical aesthetics, social criticism, and provocative symbolism, this tour solidified Manson as a countercultural icon. The show was filmed in multiple cities, capturing the intensity of his stage performance and his defiant message against American religion, politics, and morality.

About the song: The second single from Antichrist Superstar, released in September 1996. With a marching rhythm and abrasive riffs, it’s one of Manson’s most well-known songs. It criticizes standards of beauty, power, and the exclusion of those who don’t conform.
