Marilyn Manson
Oct. 11th, 1996 08:00 pmWith the release of "Sweet Dreams a year earlier, and Antichrist Superstar a month earlier, Manson had gained mainstream (albeit alternative) popularity, and filled the Modjeska Theatre. While their club show at TA Vern's was filled with a rough metal crowd, this one was all-ages, and saw a wide variety of fans, from the aforementioned metal kids, to Goth dark fairy girls. There were older fans there, like the guy across the aisle, who asked me if I thought the music on the PA was Syd Barrett (it sounded like an updated version of his style. I'd still like to know what it was).
Antichrist Superstar had been released three days earlier, and "The Beautiful People" (LLAAAAAAA) was already becoming a hit. The album debuted in the charts at number 3.
They had a good-sized stage, and it was filled with religious imagery, mostly stained glass-looking falling angels and such. Manson did a preacher schtick. I was down front in the moshing for a while, and in the seats later.
Marilyn Manson, Twiggy Ramirez, Zim Zum, Ginger Fish, Madonna Wayne Gacy.
