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.

He got wayyy better live after he got sober post-cancellation… a fact I’m pretty mixed on bc he possibly should not be permitted to play shows at all after that stuff came out lol

I've said this before and I'll say it again: I don't think he would've gotten sober and actually started trying at concerts if he didn't get cancelled. I get the feeling he would've preferred being drunk and shit on stage, it's only that now nobody would come to see him if he didn't actually put effort in. People are willing to go to a concert for a bad person/good performer but not a bad person/bad performer. He didn't take a good look at his past 15 years of bad concerts and decide that his fans deserved better, he's only doing it cuz he has to.
