Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 11:04 AMSlayer is garbage. Don't bother showing up early enough to see them. Manson... well... Manson was kinda sad.
He made it fairly obvious that he had no interest in playing any of his hold music. He did play it, but his heart wasn't in it at all. He only sang about half the lyrics, letting the audience fill in the rest, and he just didn't seem excited at all about what he was doing. All of his body language said "can we just get this over with?" The only stuff he actually got into was the stuff from Eat Me, Drink Me.
I will say that I liked the songs from Eat Me, Drink Me a LOT more live than I do on the album. They're not bad songs, they just all feel the same and therefore make for a kind of dull album, but each on its own when mixed in with his older music was actually pretty fun to see and hear performed.
But if you're hoping to go out there and see Manson from five years ago or more, you'll be sorely disappointed. -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 12:52 PMTo be honest man, I did not even read your whole post because it is crap. I LOVE Slayer, and have always loved them, they blow Manson away, (for me), anyday of the week, and to be honest would not even be going to the show if Slayer was not playing simply based on the fact that the Manson album sucks.
Slayer are awesome musicians, and you should not say they are garbage just because you cant comprehend what they are about, which by the way, is the very same thing Manson is about, exposing taboo's for the frauds they are.
Sorry if I am coming off harsh, but come on, that was pretty lame. If you played a musical instrument maybe you would appriciate Slayer a little more, and whats more, at least Slayer is still putting out good albums that there fans love, unlike Manson.
But you are entitled to your opinion, I just think its "garbage", so I'll be there early for Slayer. -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 1:11 PMI've seen Marilyn Manson twice now, but it was over 8 years ago.. He kicked ass live, but I am scared that this time will be exactly like Elfie is saying, with Manson just going through the movements and not being passionate about it.. Manson is just different these days.... I really did not care for eat me drink me. Just like most artists, he wants to get his new album "out there" so i assumed he'd play a lot of those songs..
I've never been a huge Slayer fan (honestly, i've never heard one song of theres) so i cant make a decision on Slayer...
Well, wish us luck ! Now I dont have much hope that Manson is going to be a good show tomorrow.... -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 1:22 PMWell Dana,
They are pretty hardcore so you may not like them, and thats totally cool, alot of people dont. But to me there's a difference between just not likeing something and being completely biased to it, like the post above.
I have met Slayer multiple times, SUPER cool guys to there fans.

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 3:29 PMsee, that's the thing. since i've never listened I cant say if I Like them or not, for all I know, I may really like Slayer , I guess we'll have to find out tomorrow :-)

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 3:49 PMDana, don't dismiss the show completely yet. Like I said, I was surprised by how much I actually liked the new stuff once I heard it live. And it's entirely possible that he was just having an off night when I saw him. There was a wardrobe malfunction early in the show and he had to steal a tank top from a roadie, so maybe that just threw off his game :) good look! and I sincerely hope you enjoy the show.

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 3:38 PMYou asked for an opinion. Don't be mad that it wasn't the opinion you were looking for :) -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 4:18 PMRight, but your opion was not based on the show, (as far as Slayer goes), your opion was based on your dislike of Slayer before you even went to the show. Which is fine if you dont like them, alot of people dont, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But your opinon was not based on there performance, since you probably did'nt even show to see them.
Also, your saying Slayer is garbage, but you are also saying Manson put on a half ass show, so all of Mansons fans pay to see him and he puts on a half ass show??? but Slayer is the one thats garbage???? I gaurantee there show was not half ass and they gave there fans what they came to see.
But as far as you not likeing them, all the more power to you. -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 7:52 PMI find this ironic and i KNOW i should keep my big mouth shut.............. BUT Glyph you jump on elfie saying elfie probably didn't even show up to see slayer and so therefore infer elfie should not voice an opinion, but.................. reading back over the posts, elfie didn't make it clear if he saw slayer and you never asked elfie if he did or not. So jumping on elfie for saying slayer is garbage without asking if elfie saw them that particular show , is indeed the same as your arguement that elfie should not voice an opinion if he didn't even show up. So to hopefully end this in a friendly manner, Elfie, did you see slayer at the show? maybe you did and they sucked to you, great ok fine, if not and based on past oppinion, perhaps they've gotten better,.... ( i wouldn't know) glyph please stop inferring manson sucks at his concert as compaired to slayer, if you weren't there that night you can't know personally, and finally,..
Dana, hope you have a wonderful time you lucky scank! I was in another country when he FINALLY did a canada show and i missed it!!!! shitters, and please by all means, you worked your butt off for the money you paid for the tickets, go see the whole show, I'd love to hear how it was! Take pics if you can and post them! Hope you dodge a cat terd, or does he even fling shit anymore? -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Fri, August 24, 2007 - 9:29 AMI actually love Manson, Elfie said his show was not that good. To be honest I could care less, and I have no problem with him expressing his opinion, and I also was not trying to attack, more like debate a little. As you can see above I never called him any names or attacked him at all. I may have been a little forcefull but certainly did not attack.
Point is, I dont really like country music, but technically it is one of the most difficult styles to play, so I can at least respect it. And whether he saw Slayer or not it is clear he had a biased opinion of them before he entered the show.
But all and all, who really cares anyway, its not like it matters at all. -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Fri, August 24, 2007 - 2:10 PMdidn't say you attacked him, only jumped on him and nope its not clear he had a biased opinion before the show that he went to. To me it translated to "i went to the show and was not impressed with slayer at all so don't panic if your late stuck in traffic" Which to me is valuable information. I never was on the debate team in school but its my impression that to do so you should have well thought out arguments and strategy based on facts. Fact1, you never asked elfie did he see slayer that night? Fact 2, debate now over , well shit that explains me not being on the debate team, I went for the win too quick it wasn't entertaining. Oh well, as you say, doesn't matter anyways. -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Fri, August 24, 2007 - 5:34 PMWell isn't there a opening act.. last I knew it was both Slayer and Mansion headlining just manson playing a little longer and last..

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Sat, August 25, 2007 - 11:43 AMThey had one or 2 opening bands, they sounded really good, I was not in my seat for there set, but was close by and could here it well. They were really hardcore, like death metal, but they sounded really good. -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Sat, August 25, 2007 - 11:50 AMWell Dju,
I guess people look at things differently dont they, what a concept.
And at the show I was at, seemed people had a more open mind, and it was rad to see both sets of fans be together and have a great time.
And as far as the comments on here, I just think its lame that someone would say, hey dont show up for a band a form your own opinion, just skip it. I mean grow up, is this high school, are you only supposed to like one kind of music or band? I guess my attitude is, show up and form your own opinion.
So I guess we will just agree to disagree,
Peace! -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Sun, August 26, 2007 - 11:11 AMwe're not agreeing to disagree here glyph, i wasn't agreeing or disagreeing with anyone here, perhaps you missed the point of my post. Perhaps it should be spelt out to you. In your dismay at Elfie slagging slayer a group you think highly of, you turned around and slagged Manson. An artist I am a fan of.
I attempted to alert you of your irritating plan of putting Elfie **in his place** by pointing out a simple fact to you. You assumed something that was not correctly and completely made clear. I tried to be classy about my approach. Was it too subtle? Hope not, here is the somewhat subtle approach again. What were your words? at least slayer puts out albums their fans love while Manson doesn't anymore? something like that. In that statement you included all Manson fans of which I am one, and i found it irritating that you would speak for me. You don't, my mind is my own. At least when you and Dana said something Elfie had the good graces to say it was his opinion, please don't discount the show, and go see it in full. You on the other hand kept at Elfie. I don't know Elfie from a hill of beans but I'd rather talk to him over you because from what I've seen and read online here Elfie is highly opinionated and willing to converse about it while you are highly opinionated and willing only to be right about it. Surely your a much cooler person than that. If not good luck to ya.
Either way I'm finished, I believe I've made clear I was offended by your generalist comment, I believe Fans of Manson and Manson himself as well are deserving of an appology at the most and or recognition of a slight made at the very least. For me, Manson is the first artist whose work I could listen to from beginning to end, continuous play, sleep to it, sing to it, look up the lyrics for and memorize it, think over it, consider it, draw artistic inspiration from, own every album, and never ever get tired of it. I may not understand 2 of his albums, but i still play em. I can't say the same for any other artist. Manson is my muse. -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 5:04 AMDjumaana, thanks so much for sticking up for me. I mean, I know that's not entirely what you were doing, but I appreciate it nonetheless. I would have popped on sooner, but my power was out most of the weekend.
Just to clear it up, yes I got there early enough to hear and see Slayer and I wasn't impressed. I thought they were terrible, so I spent some time wandering around the pavilion and saying hi to people. I ALWAYS give opening bands a chance because I've discovered some of my favorite music that way. So yes, I saw them and I wasn't impressed.
Glyph, I'm glad to hear that the Manson and Slayer fans seemed to get along well at your show. At the one I went to, half the Slayer fans left before Manson came on (guesstimating on the percentages, obviously), which was nice because it meant everyone else could see better, but the ones that remained were chanting for Slayer to come back on WHILE Manson was performing (and I don't mean just one or two people).
Also glad to hear that Manson seemed a lot more into the show you saw than the one I saw. He didn't do the cake thing here, which sounds very cool. Maybe he was just having an off night like I theorized. The people chanting for Slayer while he was performing probably didn't help his mood any more than it helped mine :p
I won't respond to your arguments because I think Djumaana already did a fine job and you've made it pretty clear that you're not going to get the point anyway. -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 7:46 AMLOL Elfie, didn't think you needed someone to speak for ya, you seem a tough nut and all around good people. That comment about Manson just burned my ass strangely more than yours about the concert somewhat sucking. I always wondered how the heck these musicians can do a show night after night after night and not have a bad day, a sick day or something. Disappointing as it is for the fans, biology happens. Who is it, Barry Manilow that does the longest running vegas show? Whoever it is he's done over 16,000 shows over the years and the fans always ask for this one song, wish i remembered the name of it but its one of the most terrible songs in the universe, and yet night after night he does it like it was the first time. The dude must be sick of it by now! Hats off to em! -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 11:37 AMIts all good Elfie,
I readily admit I came off harsh, and honestly am sorry for that, I was just trying to debate a little with you and perhaps my post came out a little harsher than I would have liked, the internet is a bad place to try to convey emotion, but I assure you I certainly was not mad at you expressing yourself. I do see your point and our opions of it differ, and thats all good man. If you get a chance to see the show again you should, maybe he was just having an off night like you said when he played out there. And I now agree with 100%, the songs he played live off the new album sounded really good.
So anyhow man, take care.
Dju,
As far as I'm concerned we will agree to disagree, you say I miss your point while you also miss mine. -
-
Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 12:12 PMAlso Elfie,
I'm with you, I think thats lame that the Slayer fans at your show where chanting during Manson, truly bad form. The show I saw there were a few people that left before Manson but the majority stayed, and it seemed had a really good time, I met a few really cool people.
Its really wierd how fans differ from place to place.
And Tim,
The opening band out here was bleeding through. -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 12:59 PMThe show was amazing !! Manson put on a spectacular show and when I left I was sad it was over. I can't wait till next time !

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 1:51 PMwe will not agree to disagree as i was not agreeing or disagreeing with your point of which i did get Glyph, unfortunately your point was based on info you did not have as i pointed out and therefore was flabbergasting at best. I could talk circles around you but then I'd have to explain myself again. And then you'd probably try to be right again. People who are always right are boring. So in that light I take a page from Elfies book, (hope you don't mind there big guy) and say I'm not going to comment on your arguments any further. You want to ignore and not admit, yep i was a bad boy for saying at least Slayer makes albums their fans love unlike Manson, on a Manson fan page no less, so ok, you be right. Hats off to you, I am bored. Goodbye -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 2:35 PMWierd, I thought you said you were done already.
I already stated my point, and admitted to Elfie that I was way to harsh to him, thereby admitting my approach was wrong.
As far as the album thing, most people admit that they did not like the new Manson album that much, at least the ones I've heard, and from what I've heard Slayer fans really liked the last album they made, thats all I was trying to say, I think your reading into it a little much.
As far as not agree'ing, I dont agree with you at all, is that clearer for you. And since you've stated how much cooler than me you are and how you could talk so many circles around me then that should make you feel good in your heart and you can continue on with your life.
Sorry, not everyone is as perfect as you are :)
Please, continue with your diatribe, as this will be my last post on this little thread. -

Re: MM Slayer show this friday
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 2:46 PMOne last thing I must point out which I find ironic dju, you came on this thread and bashed me for coming down on Elfie's opinion, and after thinking about it, rightfully so. But then you go on to coming down on and bashing my opinion which is kinda the same thing. You say I owe you an apology for my opinion, ha ha ha, funny at best. Perhaps before you go trying to be all high and mighty you should avoid doing the very thing you are complaining about, you may not agree, but hey, its just my opinion.
