John has nothing to do with Manson nowadays....

There goes the one good reason to see them....

[J0shTheDude]

From what I've read, it sounds like they're co-headlining and getting same amount of time on stage. Luckily Slayer goes on first, so now I have a reason to try and get tickets and call out of work.

Slayer is going on first.

As for me, I got a couple floor tickets to the Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord, CA on August 23rd. Can't wait! I've been to a couple Slayer shows before and I loved them. I can't say I'm much of a fan of Manson's music though.

Found that on another site. As far as seeing Slayer in a small venue, I have to disagree. Saw them at the New Haven Colliseum in CT for the Diabolus tour. Maybe it was their FOH that night, but all you could hear was a loud ass rumble during the riffs, and ear piercing treble during the solos. I was deaf for about a week after that show, and didn't enjoy it much at all. The only way you could ID the songs they were playing was when Tom introduced them.

I've seen Slayer twice and both times the pits weren't that crazy. I was expecting mad moshing but it wasn't that bad.

[RacerX]

That Slayer set list blows

Lotsa new stuff, echhh

[dannyr]

I have tickets to the Houston show on 8/31. Manson always puts on one hell of a show.

[Jason slsh]

It's a decent setlist I would like more seasons in the abyss though...
Thanks For the set list. Any body got any other variations of it?

Hell, I may not even go now. WTF?!?!?

I just got back. The opening band, Bleeding Through, sucked major balls. It sounded like the singer was trying to copy Randy Blythe, he failed. The guitars sounded like ass.

Slayer kicked fucking ass. The sound was great, Tom's voice was excellent, and they had the crowd pumped from the first note. I think they played about 13 or 14 songs. Enjoyed every note. Jeff switched back and forth between the Heineken and the Camo ESP's. Kerry played his white and black tribal B.C. Rich's.

I really didn't care for Manson. His vocal mix was all fucked up, you could not understand a fucking word. The guitar was too loud in the mix, not sure if that was good or bad. However, the guitarist switched between a white Gibson Firebird and I think a Cherry Gibson Firebird. Beautiful guitars. Manson only played 6 or 7 songs and the house lights came on. The Manson faithful were fucking pissed, to say the least. He didn't even play Beautiful People.

Anyway, Slayer was worth the 45 minute drive, even if it was hotter than hell.

Cool review..I'd go just for Slayer, and I like both the classic and new material..I think they rule.

MM only played about 7 songs and no BP..yeah I bet they were pissed. Ehh I would have no desire to see him at all..if John 5 played maybe..but he would just be laid back playing the material anywhoo, so even then I'd be bored..I never was a MM fan...I kinda like BP and that's about it..

I heard a Bleeding Through song a while back..not my cup O' Joe at all..

That's a pretty weird bill in general ..I think.

[followthereaper]

I went to the show in Worcester yesterday, and I'm still aching. Slayer fucking killed, but the set was too short. Manson's sound sucked balls and I couldn't understand anything he said either. He probably played around 7 songs and came out for 2 encores, the last of which was Beautiful People. He was okay, I probably would have enjoyed it more if I weren't tired as shit.

Edit: Luckily, Bleeding Through didn't play. Just so I don't kill this thread, was anyone else there?

[DC_rhoads82]

Slayer is awesome live, am not so sure about how Manson would be live though...not a big fan.

[Jason slsh]

Slayer should change their set list to this
war ensamble
blood red
god hates us all
jihad
at dawn they sleep
black magic
reign in blood
chemical warfare
cult
seasons in the abyss
criminally insane
mandatory suicide
Angel of death

But they wont
OFW

I saw marylin manson in a small club in reno about 8 years ago, he would spit at the crowd(prompting them to spit back) then a hail of loogies would fly up at him, by the end of the show he had spit hanging in his hair, and on his face, it was the most disgusting thing i ever saw on stage, dont know if he still does that, but i have no desire to see them again.
