As u know, it was an absolutly incredible show at the Patriot Center on April 3rd. I got there at around 5:30, right as they let people in. Me and my friend got down on the floor about 2 rows from the front (It was GA and we were really lucky to get that close). This fat blonde girl started flirting with me and all of a sudden I hear, "Jesse!" I turn to look and there is Jesse Camp (MTV VJ). He was shaking everyone's hand and we were going nuts. I touched his hair...ewwww.
Then, I recognized these 2 girls who were right in front of me. They looked a lot like the "slasher" girls in Manson's book and on MTV and on the "Dead to the World" video. I started telling people who they were and someone asked the girls if it was true. They denied it, but I'm positive it was them (How about the scars on their chest that spelled "Manson"?).
Nashville Pussy came out. They were...ok. They were really energetic and the female guitarist could really play. The Bassist was a knock-out. What a body! Good Lord! The singer was really red-kneck looking and he said "Wipe the fucking make-up off your faces!" At the end, the guitarist ripped the strings out of her guitar and somehow my friend got one...the A string. There was some lesbianism going on on stage with the two girls, but nothing serious, so they were just putting the crowd on-they were faking it.
Monster Magnet really impressed me. I have their "Powertrip" CD, and I didnt like it too much. But they sounded absolutly great live. All their songs were from Powertrip except for one. Dave Wyndorf did an excellent job pumping up the crowd for Manson cause he screamed "Are you guys ready for Marilyn Manson?" about three times during the show.
When Manson came out it just incredible. He did the whole TV cross thing. The setlist was the same as most other reviews i've read. The two best live songs in my opinion were "Speed of Pain" and "I dont like the drugs..." After "Great Big White World" me and this girl I met went to the seats cause we were getting killed on the floor and I told her I would protect her (she was really small).
This is where things went a lot different then at other concerts...so be prepared to get jealous...
I think it was at the end of "User Friendly"...Manson got on his back and started humping the air. His dick came flying out and it was just flopping around. Twiggy comes over to him, bends down, and for about a good 10 seconds...gives him head...I swear to god! In between one song, he goes over to the left side of the stage and someone throws their shirt at Manson. He caught it and said "Thanks, I needed something to wipe the cum off my hands."
During "I dont like the drugs he made that funny speech that went something like,"I had a dream last night that I was swimming in a sea of liquor and I was sleeping on a beach made of Cocaine. The sky was made of LSD and the Mountains were made of Pills. All the trees there were made of Marijuana. When the Cops there pulled me over, they didnt arrest me..they SUCKED MY DICK! Then god came to me and said "I dont think that god should be spelled G-O-D! It should be spelled...Gimme a D! Gimme an R! Gimme a U! Gimme G! Gimme an S! Then they busted into "I dont like the drugs."
It was a great show...no encore...I was really hoping to hear "Coma White", oh well. My ears are still ringing and i'm still feeling him.

My second trip to see Manson, First time was in Richmond 11/11/98!! This show was the best show that I have ever been to!! I do believe that 12 Rounds did a better job of opening, their CD by the way kicks ass!! After Monster Fagget, oops I mean Monster Magnet left the stage, we started preparing for the best artist ever to take the stage!! As soon as Pink Floyd started I knew it wouldn't be long before the sexiest man alive would appear right before my eyes!! My friends and I then made our way to the front of the crowd, we ended up like 3 people back from the beautiful Mr. Manson!! I was amazed when the cross made of TV's elevated Manson to the stage, it was breath taking, sent chills up my spine even!! Anyway the show was awesome, the song choice was great, the snow, the glitter, the explosions, the speeches, everything was incredible!! And by the way just to set the record straight Mr. Manson did not reveal anything, but a microphone for Twiggy to suck on, please get your story straight!! The show kicked ass and I can't wait till the next tour!!
