it didnt suck so that is a good thing..I will admit that I had my doubts about this show. We got there at about 6:50pm and didnt have to wait in line to get in :) We got there and looked at t-shirt prices 28-30 hell no so I bought a shirt for 15 out in the parking lot.....Walked in normal looking stage with alot of lights and Nashville Pussys stuff already on stage (3 confederate flags and drums) they played for about 40 mins and they were horrible... manson after about a 30 min. wait came out The stage was covered with a gold curtain and the pa was playing something from Mechanical Animals. They hit the first note and the curtain fell and you could see Marilyn rising from the stage on a cross made of TV's extremely cool. He was wearing that feather thing from the Rock is dead vid. They then ripped into a pretty good version of The Reflecting God...Next up was Great big white world....which sounded just as good if not better than the album version..after that Marilyn said "I said god damn"...and he held the mic into the less than capacity crowd..he said it again and seemingly not getting the reaction he wanted threw the mic and they started into it anyways it was GET YOUR GUNN..this song kicked so much ass...from there on the songs start to leave my mind...I know after about the forth song they light the cross on fire and it was extrenmely cool......Then after about 40 seconds over the pa came "ladies and gentleman from the drug capital of the world Los Angeles Omega and the Mechanical Animals...from there on they played such songs as: Speed of pain, Lunch box, Rock is dead, Dope show, Sweet Dreams, Mechanical Animals, and then Marilyn told us about his drug dream and how god no longer wants us too spell god g-o-d he said he wants it spelled D-R-U-G-S and then they ripped into I dont like the drugs (but the drugs like me) and behind them they had a big flashing drugs sign...Then the lights went out and then he wanted us to start the most famous chant in Manson history He said say this motherfuckers "We hate love we love hate" and after about 20 seconds of that..he screamed fuck it and the lights went on and the stuff from Antichrist Superstar were there (flag podium complete with shock logo's) and Manson was wearing a cop uniform complete with gut. Then when thet song was a bout 3/4 done someone came out and shot manson..they ahd some sort of blood cannon that sprayed blood....the lights went out again and the music started playing that always comes before Antichrist superstar and then it was beautiful and they ahd the big shock logo things were the flag had been...got throught that song good and then manson asked us if we wanted to be part of the beautiful people and not getting the type of reaction he wanted threw the mic in discust yet again and then Beautiful People started to play..very good version of song....then they left and about 2 mins later they came out and did a killer version of Rock N Roll Nigger and manson even played 2 cords on a guitar amazing enough and then proceeded to smash it and then he pulled over Ginger Fishes drumset and they left that was it.....
Highlights of the show:
During Mechanical Animals he came out in slilts which I though was cool....
The speed of pain he came out and it started to snow..
They shot off a confeti gun during drugs i believe and ofcourse the shooting of manson during Irresponsibilty hate Anthem
Madonna Wayne gacy threw his keyboards alot and could be seen chugging either beer or water
Manson was rubbing his ass against the monitors and starir rails and he showed his ass and stuff and he also humped the monitor.
Overall the show was very very good if not the greatest show ive ever seen.
