Even assuming your version of Hell exists, I'd say no.
Rob Zombie's lyrics are abstract and often bizarre, but in no way do they condone 'sinful' behavior. Zombie's inspiration is old horror movies and the like, not some religious or anti-religious motive. Also, he's apparently a really nice guy in person.
As for Manson, he's just in it for the money & shock value. He's admitted as much himself. If he's a candidate for your Hell, it's not because of his music - it's because he can be a selfish jackass offstage.
Not that it matters, because even if Hell as you picture it exists, your bible (I'm going to assume Judeo-Christian here, correct me if I'm wrong) has several verses about not judging or condemning others. Doing so makes one as likely a candidate as any shock-rocker.

No, Hell is an imaginary parameter, used arbitrarily by influential people to control the actions, decisions, and opinions of other people.
They don't get visited by the tooth fairy either. Santa's presents are like heaven, and coal is hell. The only difference is the scale they work on. One is for a year, and the other a lifetime.
I think people who listen to anyone who says doing something that they don't approve of sends you to hell, are already there.
Remember, in the mythology of the Catholic faith, it is stated that all things were created in gods image, and no matter where you go god is with you. So, in believing those basic cornerstones, you must understand that hell could not exist.
Why?
Because a benevolent God would not create a place he could not enter, he would not create something outside of own likeness.
I personally dropped my subscription to that fairy tale after I left catholic school.
So, my questions to any & everyone are these:
Why would you worship a God of punishment?
Why would you follow the word of something that has no proof of existence?
How can you spend a life trying to satisfy something that may not exist with all of your decisions? What will you have in the end if you were wrong?

Love Rob Zombies music but not his movies. I also happen to like Marilyn Manson too. And by your profile you do too. So why ask the question?

wow....just um...wow
Will it make you happy if Rob and Marilyn go to your Hell?
Because frankly, you see these strictly creative, intelligent, artistic musicians as only what's on stage. These people are performers. What they do, isn't all what you see. They, also have private lives. So how can I judge them by stage presence?
In my opinion, although I'm a fan of Manson's music, his lyrics are very powerful and definitely makes an impact on how I think. What's wrong with that?
Beetoveen hated God. So, with that-people who listen to the Fifth or 9th symphony-will they go to hell?
I see this question as ridiculous.
And not only that, why are you wasting your time thinking about whether or not these people are going to go to Hell?
INFACT i justed wasted my time thinking about how ridiculous this question is! what are you getting at here? HMMM? interesting.....

Well I'd rather be with Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson than the heinous creature that is featured the old testament. At least Rob and Marilyn aren't going around killing people.

No, it's music. Do you think chuck berry, john lennon, elvis and muddy waters went to hell? They were controversial in their time and religious wing nuts didnt like them, now they are good clean fun.
Does it say somewhere in your book that listening to music is a sin too? They must've re-written it in the past 30 years, becaue although everything else has grown up and changed and matured it never did, until now apparently.

No. They'll probably go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That's in Cleveland, which is the earthly equivalent to hell. Those who listen to their music probably won't go to hell but they'll, almost certainly, wind up with hearing deficiencies.

No one on earth is to judge who goes to heaven or hell. It is about thier heart. If they beleive that Jesus is Lord, and have accepted Him in thier heart, they will go to heaven. We can make assumptions that people who listen to that music or play that music do not accept Jesus, but again, we don't know whats in thier hearts.

I sure hope not, I don't wish Hell on anyone. The way things stand for them now, it doesn't look good. Listening to their music won't help a person get to heaven, but I don't think that in and of itself will keep anyone out.

Yes, they all will. However, those who only listen to their music (not Zombie or Manson themselves) will get to go in a hand basket.
