My husband and I went to the Five finger death punch/Marilyn Manson/slaughter to prevail concert this last weekend. I became a massive MM fan in the nineties and never stopped listening to him.( My favorite albums of his are Mechanical Animals, Antichrist Superstar, and We Are Chaos.)
The concert was at the Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks, and it was only a little over
half full. however, the fans that were there were all so enthusiastic
and full of energy. The first band to open was The Funeral Portrait, a new band that I think identifies as emo-metal. They were more mild than the other bands and I thought they were a good warm up for the crowd. Next, we got to hear a band named Slaughter to Prevail. I was really blown away by the energy and talent of their performance.Then Marilyn Manson. And Finally Five finger Death Punch. who was also a lot of fun.
This was the first Marilyn Manson concert that I've been too. I don't really go to concerts very often for financial reasons and I have never had the time and or money lined up at the same time to see the band before. I had wished that many of my old friends that were also fans could have been there with me but many are ill or moved or have just no time.
The band mates he played with were new to me I don't know any of the specifics of when they joined him or what recordings if any that they had made together. They were awesome though. They all sounded great together and gave a wonderful performance. They played songs from many different albums and time periods and everyone had a great time.
I finally got to see MM after 25ish years and I'm so glad that I did.
