Torniquet is an awsome song.

I find it impossible to choose my favourite song but my fav(s) are Reflecting God, Coma White, Burning Flag and also Just A Car Crash Away off his new album - heard him play Just A Car Crash Away @ Download and it was brilliant - I recorded most of the songs and will be putting them up on YouTube soon - once they are up I'll give you a shout so you can check them out! He played most his new songs as he was promoting his new album and slipt them up with with a few of the singles he had released from previous albums, Disposable Teens, Rock Is Dead, mObscene - I'm hoping that on the UK dates later in the year he will play a good mix of all his songs.

Have you got the Guns, God and Government Tour DVD from his tour during the Holywood album? Its great - amazing performances.

We saw him last night at Birmingham and it was not very good!! Just wonder if London was better!

The gig in London was amazing! Was so impressed - my best gig ever!

I've always known Manson's shows were really theatrical but this was something else! Wembley Arena is pretty big so he was able to put on a more epic show -the show started with a huge curtain with his MM symbol on it, bright lights behind started flashing and pulsing like a heart beat and you saw his shadow wandering about on stage with a huge knife in one hand, then the curtain dropped and you saw the knife was also a microphone. Later there was a giant chair that made him look like he had been shrunk very Alice in Wonderland style, he was girating about on that and hanging off it while singing 'Are You The Rabbit or The Headlights', was very interactive with the crowd, sang Sweet Dreams with a microphone with a huge lamp on the back that he shone out into the crowd. Then Reflecting God was played and in the middle a platform part of the stage starting raising up and he stood above everyone while performing. Then he did the Antichrist Superstar get up with the podium, flags and hole lot. It was amazing.

Such a shame you did not enjoy the show in Birmingham - if he comes over again you should go to the London show, he definitely performs better when he is able to do a really epic show. I saw him at Download Festival this year and although I still thought he was good he was 100 times better last week when he was at his own gig in a venue like Wembley.

We were standing but think next time we will get seated tickets, the view is much better. We decided to move a bit further to the back so we could get the full view of the stage for the full effect. Didn't see anyone filming as we were quite far back but I have a DVd of one of his previous tours so I imagine they were prob filming.

Show was the same and Marilyn Manson was fab and show was awesom but the Crowd were just standing there!! We were seated right by the stage and had a fab view. It was just the audience no one stood up to dance (I've never been to a concert before where everyone stayed sat down) very flat atmophere.

At one point Manson came to the front of the stage and said "Birmingham your quiet what more do we/I have to do for you"

Have to admit saw Duran Duran in the NEC before and that wasn't good either think it's just this venue.

Ooh I'd love to go see him!

No such thing as a bad venue! I think the NEC is a fab venue, but it depends on the crown and the performer. Saw Alice Cooper there a few weeks ago and he had everyone up on their feet. Some of my best gigs have been there - whilst one of the worst I've been to was at Wembly, just depends.

[M3chanical_animal]

Spose its all just luck of the draw!
