Entry: Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids - A861176
Author: Newt - U207632

I looked through the guide and couldn't find a detailed entry on Marilyn Manson. I decided to take it upon myself to write one for the guide since they are a big influence in the industrial rock world. I filled it with as much information I could think of and find about the band's history.

Nice, factual entry. Well written and informative.
Should get into the guide I think.
One or two nitpicks, nevertheless.

"Then they went back into the studios to record one of the most famous albums of all time"

I know they're your favourite band and such, but maybe this needs some qualification. Like "one of the most famous industrial albums" or such.

Apart from that... no, can't really see anything.

Aside from a little over-enthusiasm, I think we have us a worthwhile entry here

I agree that the entry seems pretty good, except that bits like "Great hits such as..." and "just as great an album" aren't particularly objective.

Okay, I made the changes everyone has suggested. Take a look and tell me what you think, if you see something else you think could be changed for the better please tell me. Thanks.

Something else that could be interesting, if nothing else, is the real names of the band members. It'd interest me anyway.

actually I think I have the real names of the band members. I'll put them in the entry one way or another, if not I'll at least put them here for you.

Newt

Thanks. I know MArilyn's real name is Brian Warner, and i though it'd be interesting to see how mundane (or not) the members' names were compared to the outrageous stage names they choose for themselves.

I added the really names of the band members to the entry. Keep telling me what you think can be improved, I am open for suggestions. Here is the name of the band members.

Brian Warner - Marilyn Manson
Scott Putesky - Dasiy Berkowitz
Brian Tutunick - Olivia Newton Bundy
Perry - Zsa Zsa Speck
Brad Stewart - Gidget Gein
Stephen Bier - Madonna Wayne Gacy
Freddy Streithorst - Sara Lee Lucas
Jordie White -Twiggy Ramirez
Kenny Wilson - Ginger Fish
Timothy Linton - Zim Zum
John Lowery - John 5
Tim Skold - Tim Skold

Newt

That last guy really wasn't trying, was he?

After surfing around on the guide a lot for the past two days, I have gotten some ideas I decided to use on my entry. I added some changes to the entry that I think makes it more informative and adractive. I added headers and links to other parts of the guide to offer more info.

Newt

Lookin' even better!

Any opinions on how I can make the entry better??

Newt

Just spotted a tad of bad grammar- you mention, in the bit about MM and NIN, "band's two singers", when you probably mean "the two band's singers", the way it is currently phrased suggests that they were both singers in the same band .

I'll just go and search for something else to be pedantic about...

HAHA, Fixed it. Thank you and good hunting.

Newt

You also might want to run it through a spellchecker (what I do is cut and paste your code into Word (or something similar), ignore all the irritating attempts it makes to respell the code, and see what it corrects. i spotted embraked somewhere where I thik you meant embarked, and is the Ep meant to be called "Smells like Childern or Children?

Great Idea, Thanks. Will do so right now, and it's suppose to be children. Another typo.

Newt

Ah, I didn't know if Childern was some satanic concept I'd never heard of or something

Nope nothing satanic just by typing skills. Muhahahahaha!
