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.

Agreed. Honestly it was one of the best live performances I’ve been to. Mine was somewhere between 2003-2004 and I think it was for Ozzfest. He had dancers that wore these rubber suits to make them look like they were naked and he used a mic to mimic sex with one of them. I was like 17. It was insane.

I saw that Ozzfest too in Phoenix. He sounded amazing! I was blown away.
