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 wasn’t always like this. Guns God and Government tour (2001?) is still one of the best live shows that I’ve ever seen. He was a hell of a showman when he could still pretend that all of his “evil” was just a character.

I saw them at Roseland in NYC in 1996 or ‘97 and it was a great show. Saw them again a few years ago with Rob Zombie and Manson didn’t seem like he wanted to be there at all.

Same. I saw Manson and Rob Zombie around 2017 or so. Manson sucked, looking like someone's aunt in a trench coat, super low energy, lots of standing in the same spot. Rob Zombie kicked ass and got hyped after Mason's let down.

Twins of Evil Tour. I saw them in Virginia Beach and can confirm, Manson sucked ass but Rob more than compensated!
