Powerage5 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Ah, okay. I dislike Manson enough that he put me off from seeing his co-headline with Alice, so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Having to stand on the balcony in the back of a Slash show because they had changed venues (slash couldn't sell enough seats to justify playing a 5k seater so he moved to a 1k) to one that served alcohol on the floor. Despite being 18 at the time, I had forgotten my ID and had to stand in the very back with a bunch of obnoxious 16 year olds despite paying more than what most of the people on the floor had.I remember that i think, want myles sick too?Yep. The crowd sang half the show for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Not me but a friend in high school's brother saved up all this money to travel and see White Zombie as he was a massive fan- he said they sounded absolutely fucking terrible and it was a mess....turned the dude off White Zombie.

RocketQueen1985 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I haven't really had "bad" concert experiences, the only 2 shows that come to mind are the 3rd time I saw In Flames (the band was great but I got too drunk), and when I saw Marilyn Manson in 2009 or so. He spent most of the show drinking budweiser and spitting it back out. It was opening night of the tour and and he sounded and looked like shit. I spent probably a third of his set at the merch booth talking to the openers (Die Mannequin).Yeah, I've heard pretty terrible things about Manson even from his fans. I was curious to see him live and then I saw some YouTube videos... The guy really does not give a fuck.I saw him in 2007 and I enjoyed the show a lot. But I have heard a lot of people complain about him in the later years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't pay for others to sing it instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 probably the last Stones show. queuing for an hour in the freezing rain. then the bar ran out of alcohol. the show was okay. it was really the venue rather than the show. overall i can't be bothered to go again.
