Overall it was a pretty good concert well it had its pros and cons.
First of all the crowd was absolutely shocking (typical Perth crowd) there wasn't even a really big mosh pit although most of the people there were older and there were sections where people did get into it. There was a group on the stairs which got into it even though they were in the sitting section.
Because it was a relatively short concert as he came on 30mins before he was scheduled which made me think he was sick and at the end it was obvious he was going to come back on but the crowd gave no response so he obviously thought stuff it.
The people watching was a highlight seeing the 40+ guys with big platform boots and eye makeup on rocking out.
The first song he played "We're From America" sounded absolutely shocking as he was terribly off key and i thought fuck this is going to be shit. But he and the band definitely got a lot better as the night went on, with only a few hic-ups with twiggy having a guitar die on him and a few wrong changes either late into chorus' or verses. But Manson's voice was a lot better than last times as he actually mainly just sang and wasn't lying on the ground so u couldn't see him.
As i was on the ground section and the rest of the boys were on the seats behind me they probably had such a different concert with different sounds etc, on the ground i thought the sound was alright with the bass absolutely thumping you every song. But what the guys said was that his mic was very low and guitars were too loud but you couldn't really notice it on the floor but you could tell his voice wasn't 100% after recovering from swine flu.
But definitely the highlight would have been "The Beautiful People" and the amazing lights that accompanied the band through out the show which offered a great view of him and the band as well as the crowd.
But if he does come back i would probably go again but would have to stand again and get up near the front to really get the right atmosphere.
I have a few photos and a couple videos but will see if the sounds alright and will post them up here.
Oh and the band that opened for him "Fear of Comedy" were unusual as the band didn't look like rock stars and the singer was very jack blacky/ tenacious d like in him manner and voice. But he enjoyed him self and thats what mattered. Who also seemed to love the Wildcats as well as the wheel cats
And by the way guys the chick that was on cruchtes got pulled out near the end but it was still a good effort to stay at the front of a MM concert with a broken leg.
Because after all we are the beautiful people
