**Yawn**
Ahhh! Morning kids.
Shit!!! Is that the time already? Bollocks, I havent posted that gig review ERm....sorry, i was getting my ribs removed in time so i could kill myself at christmas (will that do?)
That gig report.After the huge FUCKING annoyance of the cancelled Nottingham I find myself worried for the outcome of the Manchester gig.Understandably so.Im in the queue, everyones all Mansoned up,as usual,what a pretty sight and then...the queue goes down.ARGHH.Theyre letting us in!!!This one is on.YESYESYES.Head straight to the front.I am at the front. If i wanted i could probably touch the stage.God damn this place is small.AAAAnyways then Fluffy come on.Oh fuck.Grrrrrl Rock.I turn to my friend,dino, as they walk on & ask "whos going to be the 1st one to tell them to fuck off?"
Fluffy Bitch "Hello were fluffy"
Dino "FUCK OFFF!!!"
Thats me answered then.Needless to say, they were shit, she thought she was sid vicious.She tried to stare me out so i blew kisses and extended the royal middle finger.And screamed Fuck off at them.
Well they come and go and then.....whats that...Diamond dogs? oooo!!!.They put up the stained glass window,then some guys come on with Mr Mansons cube and put it RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.ARGH!!!!!!!I see some guy fucking about with pogos keyboards I begin to shake.Ive been waiting for this for years.
The music fades
The lights dim
"He is the angel with the scabbed wings........"
Oh my god.Marilyn is right in front of me.He staring straight at me.Were singing this song,screaming this song, at each other.Its just me & him in the universe.I really could die now.
"DEAD IS WHAT HE HIS HE DOES WHAT HE PLEASE..."
Fucking hell.This is amazing.Just as you know, wrapped in surgical stuff, the Antichrist superstar puts on one hell of a show.
I try to get my bearings
On my left Zim Zum , natty dress and suspenders; crosses on head .
Nice.
Behind him the all dancing Pogo.Does he know anyone else is here? Hes just grooving around playing that keyboard like god.
Twiggy on my right - sedate but still pretty rocking
That could be any fucker behind the drums..Oh yeah its ginger...
"God damn your righteous hand...."
Much to my surprise, well, not when i think about it, hardly anyone knows this song apart from the people im with hence we get all the eye contact with Mr Manson We know whats going on.We know all about it.And what were we waiting for? "Spit on me, you FUCKS">br> Cool.We oblige.Throughout the show my best mate Ben manages to spir right on Mr mansons head causing him to kneel down on his cube pointing at his head, staring at Ben and grinning like a maniac and Ben also got Mr M.s spit in his mouth. Rock and, indeed, Roll
So the set as I recall(maybe 1/2 out of order) followed thusly:-
Dogma (Manson swings the mic stand around,smashing it about everywhere) (what a superstar)
Dried up......
("Superstar....SuperFUCK baby")
Tourniquet
(much spitting, hittin chest with mic.I have ascended to heaven)
("Next Mo...ther...Fu..cker...gonna...get...my....metal)
Lunchbox
Sweet Dreams(mr manson seems impressed that this is the only song that my little group doesnt sing every word to(I did do the screamy bits, tho))
("WE LOVE HATE WE HATE LOVE)
Irresponsible Hate Anthem (Crowd goes nuts)
The minute of Decay (Everyone is so tired they just start to sway/fall over.It seems im the only one who knows this song.So I scream it all into Mr Ms face.And jump vey high.This is ace)
("And the world spreads its legs for another FUCKIN star")
Little Horn (crowd has had its rest and duly goes mad again)
("How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?")
The beautiful People (this just turns into a big noise.Only the drums & vocals can really be heard)
("Shoot shoot shoot motherfucker shoot shoot shoot motherfucker....")
The reflecting god(Mr manson motions to my friend omar who is wearing a kind of army hat.Omar stretches and hands it to him.Mr m puts it on.FUCK!!!.We all die through joy.)

Encore 1
Cake and Sodomy
("goodnight")

Encore 2 As the lights go up for the second encore we see that his mic stand has been covered in white flowers drenched in blood.If youre close you can see blood on his hands. Reports have it that he was crying. the european tour ends with Man That You Fear (When all of your wishes are granted.....(same loop from album))

Well there you go the kids.Any words of goodwill/reactions/hate mail graciously received.Other notable gig incidents:-
The groovy shock symbol balaclavas for £14
Pogo going down on his knees on sucking down whole bottles of beer(Beck's)
Pogo going fucking crazy in I.H.A.

I heard that someone saw that Mr M had pissed himself but I missed that...

I hope to god they come back.

As ever,
yours,
Pete.
