Alas my two films have finally reached completion. DVD's will be made tonight, and they'll be premiering soon. Now that I have free time, I can post on the good old SG blog.
So yes, I went to see Marilyn Manson last week, and it was fucking awesome!
We arrived at the venue a few hours early and ended up having to wait around the block in the cold for some time. In doing so we came across the white southern Baptist telling us to "Fear God!" Of course, this was coming from a guy who wore a big black cowboy hat and had a bullhorn. My friends and I laughed and kept waiting outside the cold when we were approached by some nice black Baptists who kindly gave us some pamphlets. At that point someone made the comment, "If you're going to protest, that's the way to do it."
Anyways, we get inside. We start out ten feet from the stage, and we wait-wait-wait. Slunt opened for them. I wasn't a big fan. It was fun and hard, but so fucking repetitive. However, the two chicks in the band where fucking hot! They go off stage; a black curtain goes up as they set up. A couple of girls get on guys shoulders and show off their breasts while we wait.
And after about forty-five minutes of waiting in a crowded pit with not even an inch of space to myself the lights cut off, the area fills with fog, we get this nice intro music, then we hear Manson's eerie voice singing "Prelude (The Family Trip)" from Portrait of an American Family. Then he really kicked it in.
The next thing I knew I was somewhere between four and five feet from the stage. It was fucking awesome-but cramped. I couldn't help but laugh at all the crying goth girls with black mascara marks running down their face as their boyfriends were heroically carrying them out of the crowd that was too rough for them.
Again, that was just a fucking awesome concert. The notable performances were "Personal Jesus", "Dope Show", "Beautiful People", and his finally "Antichrist Superstar". The only song he didn't play that I wanted him too was "This is the New Shit". Anyways, here's some pics my friend took with her camera phone, and some others taken by a camera my [other] friend snuck in.
Photobucket is fucked up, or at least for me, so check the pics in my profile to see them.
