"America has fed my generation sex, violence and fear on television, and we grow up a certain way. And Marilyn Manson comes out of it and then they want to complain we're wrong when they're the ones to blame because they're the ones who made us what we are."- Marilyn Manson 1994
"Get Your Gunn" lead the promotion by being the first single from the album and featured a music video which put Marilyn Manson across the major radio and music T.V. channels. The promotion followed with "Lunchbox" for the second commercial single and "Dope Hat", whilst the latter was not released as a commercial CD single, it was promoted on the radio and even had a music video to play on tv music channels.
Marilyn Manson was promoted and interviewed by major music magazines and went on the first major headlining tour across North America. Manson had proved that he was going to be a major success and "Portrait Of An American Family" was just the beginning...
