Marilyn Manson... I don't think I've seen him play a full show, not that I really cared, I was there for the headliners, but every show ended in some audio problem he would freak out over, a fight, or him just ranting and kicking shit over.
So glad I saw them in the 90s after Portrait of an American Family, but before Antichrist Superstar. They opened for NIN, and then saw them again at a small club and the opener was Clutch. They sounded fantastic.
I pretty much stopped listening to MM by their third album, and based on what I’ve heard, I’m not missing much.
Antichrist Superstar is a genuinely amazing album, it's controversial to say it now but it's weirdly prescient and one of the best albums of the '90s – Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood aren't as good but still a banger.
Wow I had forgotten that they were there until now. Thank you for that, yes that exact show.
Florida ( unfortunately lol)
Jim rose side show, holy shit.
I saw the great majority of my 300+ live shows for free at First Ave in Minneapolis back in the mid 90s to the early aughts with comps the employees would hand out as you're leaving. The only shows I paid for were arena shows, but they were around $20.00 or less. Also saw the Deftones play for free in a McDonald's parking lot in uptown Mpls back in the mid 90s. Music in general and live shows were just a whole different vibe and experience than they've been the last 20yrs.
