I was really surprised at the crowd's actions. They were totally dead, even the mosh pit. Monster magnet... Played like an opening band. Kinda sucked. The lead singer was kinda full of himself. Hole, played great. But I guess Courtney didn't get the kind of reaction she wanted from the crowd, like I was saying, the crowd was dead. And she was going on and on about how this is her hometown and she didn't even recognize us. So, she kinda was snoughty and left the stage without finishing. Which sucked cuz she didn't play Celebrity skin. =-(

Manson... Was the best visual performance I've ever seen in any concert. He first came out stuck to a stack of tv's that was in the shape of a cross, which he later set on fire. He then came out on stilts and walked around like some weird spider. It was cool. The lighting was excellent too. And during hole and manson they shot cannons of blue and multicolor confetti and the whirled it around the arena with big fans. There was a lot of fireworks too. Manson went on and on about drugs and how he talked to god and god said that Jesus made drugs for us to do. He then played "I don't like the drugs (but the drugs like me)" A huge flashing sign about 20 feet tall and 60 feet wide rose from the ground as they played. It kicked ass. He also did his famous antichrist superstar as he stood in front of his podium with a huge manson flag behind him as he ripped pages out of the bible. It was pretty cool. All through the concert manson mimicked the actions of masterbation with his microphone and stand. He went through about 10 or so microphones and stands. Also when he took a water bottle and made it look like he was masterbating and the water was the jizz. It was gross but kicked ass! Then near the end he came out dressed in a cop uniform. It was so funny the way he looked. I give this guy an A+ for costumes, which was about 7 changes. WOW. The whole concert he loved showing us his little white ass. Which was kinda cool but sick at the same time. At the end, during "Beautiful people" he took a "flying V" guitar and smashed it. He then jumped on the drumset, which I might add was kick ass. It had 3 bass drums! He messed up the drumset and left the stage. The concert kicked ass. But got out early (11:00 P.M.) because of Hole playing such a short set. But overall it was great.
