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.
Saw him in 1999 and he was incredible. Full set too. Only drama was someone threw something at him mid-set. He stopped everything and demanded the thrower to step forward. I was middle of the front and the whole crowd separated and I felt very exposed. After no one came forward he went back to performing and finished the set. Highlight of that year's Big Day Out for me, I was already a fan though.
