 | | Until their respective departures from the band, Daisy Berkowitz and Twiggy Ramirez were the chief contributors to the compositions, with one or both receiving "music by" credits on every Marilyn Manson album prior to The Golden Age of Grotesque. |
 | | It was not uncommon to see band members' female friends onstage, partially nude, tied up, crucified, or caged; Manson, Berkowitz, and Gein variously performed in women's clothing or bizarre costumes; and, for lack of a professional pyrotechnician, they would occasionally set their own stage props on fire. |
 | | With Berkowitz out of the band, Twiggy Ramirez performed lead guitar for much of the recording of Antichrist Superstar, and the group placed an ad seeking a new guitarist for its upcoming tour; Michael Linton, of Chicago band Life Sex and Death (LSD), auditioned for and was given the position. |
