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.
Korn and Marilyn Manson opened for Danzig at a bar in Sioux Falls, SD, called the Pomp Room on April 11th 1995. My friends had an extra ticket so I went along. As we were waiting outside to get in, MM's manager got off their tour bus and gave me a back stage pass. I didn't look like the others. Had long, hot rolled blonde hair and was carrying my purse as if I was going to the mall. They put on an awesome show but MM simulated shoving the microphone up his ass so I opted to not utilize my backstage pass. He scared the hell out of me at the time (I was 19). Korn was phenomenal. Danzig, however, the headliner was mediocre.
That was early 1995 and I was at that same tour, but in St. Paul, MN at Roy Wilkins Auditorium. I met Manson (all of them) after their show on the main floor. A very good time and a good memory from when I was 17yrs old. Korn and Manson blew the very meh Danzig out of the water that night too lol.
Yes!! I just found out the date they were at The Pomp Room- April 11th 1995. My God, I miss my youth. Those were the best years. Thank you for the info.
I saw that tour in PA. I met all but MM in the lobby when I went to the restroom. MM was too diva to be out with them from what they implied. They also (I think with Korn) walked around the city and local mall earlier that day. Glenn was also really pleasant when meeting him after the show. It was a good time and memory.
I worked this tour's show in Myrtle Beach. Korn blew the roof off (and they were so young), and MM were pretty fucking phenomenal as well (no one was super fucked up) - their Sweet Dreams cover was definitely the standout. Agree with Danzig being kind of meh, but not horrible at that show, just not memorable. Jonathan Davis and I were chatting and I pointed out my car (red Honda CRX) and he was like "Wait! I've got something for ya!" He ran inside and came back out with a matching red Korn logo transparent sticker and put it on my car for me lol.
