10. He Once Tricked Marilyn Manson Into Partying With Him
Marilyn Mansons debut album Portrait of an American Family changed Brians life. He was so inspired by it that he had lyrics from the song Dogma (You cannot sedate, all the things you hate) tattooed onto his body. Brian eventually met Manson a few years later after gaining entry backstage at a concert using fake credentials that he had printed and laminated himself. He tried to same trick a couple more times with some success, until one day a security guard called him on it. Manson wants to see your credentials, he barked. Brian tried to talk his way out of it but it was no use. The security guard took his pass and showed it to Manson, then came back with the message that Manson was so impressed with the level of effort he had put into getting backstage, that he was happy to let him in to party.
