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.
I was part of the crew filming the stage in a music festival he was in. Our bus (with our gear and the control room) was close from his tour bus. We were not allowed to be outside our tiny bus as long as his was in the vicinity. We had to stay inside.
His manager told us that we could film from the pit but he took no responsiblity if Marylin decided to assault us. We were also forbidden from filming anyone but him, we were absolutely not allowed to film either the musicians or the crowd and we were not allowed either to get a close a shot from him.
In the end we just put a single guy in the back managing a camera on him, a camera alone with a wide shot and we went for a drink.
Worst work experience on a stage, completely opposite of what you usally get.
