There was a time when Marilyn Manson was considered dangerous, but it was hard to reconcile that with this insipid performance that was less Antichrist and more mildly miffed teenager.

In theory, this was a co-headline jaunt with Rob Zombie, but in practise Manson looked like the support act.
His interaction with the crowd was poor, and instead of any near-the-knuckle antics we got him dressed up as the Pope for a number and flashing lights displaying "DRUGS" on another. Subtle but also tame and routine, with only a glam-rock No Reflection and his cover of Personal Jesus showing fire.
