6. Marilyn Manson
One of the most frightening performers in the music business, Marilyn Manson can’t fail to be on this list. The Ft. Lauderdale native takes theatricality to the limit, engaging his audience in a visual and psychological over-stimulation. From his costumes (which include color contact lenses, layers of make-up and questionable accessories) to his pornographic scenes on stage, Manson could probably rock out in a horror musical and still be successful.
