Tour Reactions & Dissection

I've seen a girl saying the MM show sucked, and then this:
Matt Gravolin ‏ @gremlinbride
I've never seen anyone play as fucked up as what Marilyn Manson was just before

What the hell? :/

The first show yesterday looked very promising for the MM fans, because his performances haven't always been stellar the past few years. That being said, I can see why for the average festival-goer it's nothing special. Many bands playing these days have a lot more energy, and looking at a Mobscene vid from yesterday he still pretty much blurred out the verses. I'm not slagging him off though, but I think nowadays what sounds great for us MM fans looks meh to someone else who has just seen Slipknot or Trivium.

yeah, but slipknot and triv-whatever really suck

[R_Flagg]

I listen to neither, but just wanted to sum up a few bands from the line-up to make my point :p

Never even thought seeing Twiggy in a dress again!! Thats just beyond cool

Sure, their music sucks, but at least they can perform it properly on stage.

Twiggy in a dress? Looks like the usual beige dress from the 1997 tour to me:

I love how Twiggy plays the songs however the fuck he wants to. It sounds great, but if any other previous band member dared to do that, they'd have been microphone'd in the head.

not the same dress, this one seems to have longer sleeves.

I think it's tough for a lot of us who were too young to see Manson in the 90s, but heard about and saw pictures of how incredible his performances were back then. We have those expectations of him because part of that is what drew us to him in the first place. We're in denial about his age because in our head, our image of him and what he's supposed to be is static. I'm in this boat, but i've seen him 3 times since EMDM, and in my opinion, although the pictures and videos seem kinda disappointing, when youre actually there and seeing it live, it doesn't even matter. It's just so fucking fantastic and impressive.
Also, Twiggy being in a dress has made me happier than anything else thus far.
