Wow, what an interesting show.
We got there about 2, and the show started at 7, in hopes of catching a glimpse of them...and we were lucky enough (or un-lucky enough) to see then drive off in a shiny green car to get something to eat...they did wave, but didn't stop...
After a few hours of fruitless waiting, we got into line at 5:30, surrounded by beefy Danzig fans. We noticed a hubub waaaaaaay over by the far corner of the building, and it was Daisy, signing autographs and taking pictures:) We went over there just as he was leaving, but we get to meet the singer and the other guy with the dreds (sorry, dont rmeember what he played) from Korn. We got back in line and they started to let us in...and i succesfully snuck in my little tape recorder so we could perhaps have a copy of the show:)
What i didnt count on was that I'd be RIGHT in front, against the barrier, and right in the center too...Korn came on, and I did enjoy their set. Couldnt hear the singer too well, but he was definitely interesting to watch. When MM came on, starting with "Cake and Sodomy" (of course) i turned on my tape player, and got through the first two songs before the bouncer saw the little green light and smashed my tape and batteries *sob*:( [NOTE: if someone does plan on bootlegging a show, stand in back, cos you get better sound anyhow, and no one will notice you...]
The rest of the show was incredible, as usual...and the whole band was just pumped, dancing around and making all sorts of silly faces. Madonna looked especially evil, as he had shaved his real eyebrows off and drew some on, they were practically pointing straight up. He also had a new-looking keyboard, wih a scrawled message taped on it that said "DIE! you dumb cunt":)
When they were almost through with "Lunchbox" Mr. Manson was just kinda sitting right in front of us, making those *faces*...and we started waving at him to come forward, and he smiled real big and LEAPED into the crowd. He was tossed around for a while, and then pushed back onstage...and as he tried to grab the mike, he hit himself in the eye (the one with the blue contact in) and fell over. He sang the last few lines of "lunchbox" curled up on his side, and then dropped the mike and passed out. The roadies carried him offstage, the house lights went up, the band walked off...the end...:(
We went outside, since we werent interested in seeing Danzig, and ran into Daisy again. He talked to us for a little bit, and told us Mr. Manson was ok, and had a nasty black eye. After the usual picture-taking-autograph- signing, he went back inside and we walked to the front of the place, where we ran into Twiggy (my FAVORITE:) *blush) We did the same...talking, pictures, autographs, and a lot of goofing around...we talked to him for close to 15-20 minutes...he had remembered meeting me at all the other MM shows, which surprised me:) We asked him about Sara Lee, and he said that when MrManson set the drum set on fire 2 nites before their last headlining date (somewhat accidentally) Sara Lee got pissed and QUIT the band ( Twiggy said SL was pissed cos he was almost on fire too.)
After Twiggy went back inside, we ran into Ginger, the new drummer, who is *extremely* cool, but kinda shy compared to Twiggy and Daisy. For those of you who havent seen him, he's kinda short, has dreds on top of his head, not like Twiggys...kinda in a ponytail...and most of em are whiteblonde, but some are black. He's cute (of course) and talks kinda funny...he also told me his name was Pogo...whatever that means:) If anyone cares...(heh) he doesnt do any drugs, except a little pot... By this time, Danzig was just about through, so we went back to the tour bus area where they had roped off a little area for fans to wait for the bands. As we walked back, we saw MrManson:) He was wearing sunglasses, but he showed me his eye when no one was looking...and it was terrible....all swollen shut and well on its way to turning purple. He was very very quiet adn almost sullen...which is way opposite from all the otehr times I've met him. He talked a little bit about David Lynch movies and these Freddy Krueger dreams he had been having, and then *pow* a milllion Danzig fans descended on teh area, and we left. Sorry this ran a little long...but, it was indeed an interesting show:)
