I got there late, like 8 o'clock cuz i had certain classes that i couldn't miss, so i didn't get to meet any spoooooks... :( I was all alone for the whole show, because the people I was going to go with didn't leave Rutgers till 8:00, they got there at 9:30 and the set was half over...good thing i went by myself...well i guess...

The crowd fucking blew nuts...i hate them. I reallllllllly realllllllllly just wanted to explode and run around and kill. But they just annoyed me. First of all i was about 30 feet back (thee worst spot i've ever seen a MM show from), and i am short, so all the tall ppl in front of me blocked my view for part of the time, although i saw most of the show...i didn't watch twiggy much, cuz he's doing the same crap he's been doing since the first MM show i ever saw...sitting around like a fucking zombie occasionally headbanging...just boring. So i rather watch Ginger or Madonna, and of course Zim Zum.

The people that surrounded me offended me in the way that they were NOT into the fucking show. They didn't sing to any goddamn song, except 'sweet dreams'. Which was the only song i didn't sing to...And these fuckerz got so offended when Mr Manson said "That one was to cater to the mtv crowd"...they all booed and said 'fuck you' and gave him the finger...WHY? it is true! i saw it first hand...when the opening guitar part for "sweet dreams" started, the biggest crowd responce of the night came.

Another thing, I hate the kids that wear those knitted wool Marilyn Manson hats, and wear black gloves and try to look all tough. Sorry if any of you on this list are like that...but i just dislike them...They have this smug look on their face, like 'i just came here to mosh and kill ppl'... However, from where i was the crowd didn't seem too rough. They were pretty mellow, but then again i was way behind the pit...Was there even a pit? i dont know...I dont care.

I spent most of the time watching Madonna. He SHAVED his head again. He looked coool in a nice 'lil suit. I loved when he played the organ...the stage props were pretty rad too. Yet the whole parallel with the nazis is kinda lame.

He could tell the crowd to do anything and they would. Maybe he should bring some arsenic-flavored Jello to one of thee next shows...and see how many ppl will eat it if he tells them too. oi!

I thought that ppl who liked Manson wanted to be free-thinkers and be themselves...to me it seemed like a bunch of followers...i didn't like.

i've seen them 8 times so far, on every tour they've done(non-spooky kids) from opening for NIN, to the MVM tour, to Danzig, clutch, and lunachicks...and i think they had progressed...But there was something lacking last nite...i dont konw what it was but, the sound was just not as SOLID, something was missing...maybe it was cuz it was a bigger venue and i just couldn't hear it as well? i dont know....

another thing is...EVERY TOUR...CAKE AND SODOMY SPEEDS UP more and more!! if they are still playing in 5 years, it's gonna be like 25 seconds long...i find it funny...i personally like it when it's slower...

i am starting to believe that if MM comes back here, i wont go see them play again...it's just not as fun as it used to be....sorry, but that's the way i feel. I still love them, and their music, but I didn't get much out of last nite...
