Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson Reviews

T. Hill from Portage IN

GREATNESS!

Both Marilyn and Rob Tore it down. I've seen them both before and they brought their A game . and the duet of Helter Skelter was badass. I still have goosebumps just thinking about it.I thought Manson's set was almost perfect.Robs was good too. The guitar solo was badass and it was long because Rob was running around the arena interacting with fans. That's fucking cool.

PHENOMENAL

This was my first time seeing Marilyn Manson. It was very hot and he seemed to either be intoxicated or overheated. But he still put on one hell of a show. I hope he is ok. I would definitely see him again! Rob Zombie was just amazing. Have seen him numerous times. John 5 is one of the most underrated guitar players in music history. They stole the night. One of the best concerts I've seen in awhile.

BANDS WERE GREAT VENUE AND CROWD WERE TERRIBLE

Both bands put on great shows, however the venue is the worst ive ever been to and the crowd was horrible. The 200s sections sat through the whole show and anyone who tried to actually be a part of a rock show was repeatedly asked by those around them to SIT!!!! Guess Baltimore doesn't want to rock.

ROB ZOMBIE ALWAYS AMAZING

I’ve seen Rob Zombie multiple times 20 years ago. Imagine my surprise when my 12 year old ask to see rob zombie for her first concert. I was just as excited as her. As I recalled my experiences with his performances I knew it would be a great first concert for my daughter. I was a little concern after seeing the condition MM was in during his set. Marilyn mason was definitely struggling to get through his set. Very disappointing to see. True to form, Rob Zombie saved the night with an unbelievable performance. He is a true professional and a rock star legend. We had an amazing time and enjoyed every calculated detail that made the night perfect. Thank you rob zombie for an amazing night and new memories that include family.

I HAD A GREAT TIME!

I was front and center against the crowd fence, had a great view! And a shout out - thank out to the guy behind me that kept me from getting squashed, you're an angel! Palaye Royale was up first, never heard of them but I wasn't disappointed! Marilyn Manson was next, - forth time seeing him in concert. Yeah, he's not a young crazy rockstar anymore but people age and he's up there doing his best. Got up on the crowd-fence a few times and interacted with us. Still a 10/10 for me. Rob Zombie was on last, I've never seen him before but I love his music, - old and new stuff. I had no idea what to expect from his show, it turned out to be crazy! A funky ball of energy running around stage, dancing, and clearly giving it his all. Another 10/10 for him! My only complaint was the sound. This is more on whoever was doing soundcheck. It could have been much clearer and it has been clearer during past shows. Other than that, all the security and staff were very knowledgeable and helpful.

ZOMBIE AND MANSON AT LONDON ONTARIO AUGUST 14

Marilyn manson killed it he jumped into the crowd interacted with fans and lit a bible on fire! He was a tornado of destruction throughout the set throwing microphones hitting the drums. His vocals sounded amazing Security were excellent I was first person to the barricade and they brought water for us No one got hurt I was fortunate enough to meet marilyn manson before the show during vip meet and great he was gracious and very kind! Rob zombie killed it!!! The stage itself was spectacular! The antica of dancing robots and aliens added to the excitement! He jumped into the crowd and I got to sing more human than human All in all Best show of the year!

MORE ZOMBIE AND LESS MANSON, PLEASE

Mr. Manson seemed to lack energy from the start. Perhaps it was due to the heat, but given that Rob Zombie had to face about the same temperatures and didn't have to turn a chair into a stage prop (at one point Manson had to sit down while a roadie toweled him off), perhaps it was also a lack of physical fitness. Still, Manson's show was alright, particularly considering it was a double bill. Zombie, by contrast, was a ball of energy, jumping from one to another of the three micro-stages that were perched upon the main stage. His banter telling people to just put down their phones was great. Did John 5's guitar solo run a little long? Yes, but I still loved it. Also, Zombie took the time to introduce his band, which Manson did not. Maybe that was just the heat again.

GREAT SHOW FROM BOTH HEADLINERS

I'm not sure what this other guy is talking about. I've seen Zombie many times as well and although he did a fair amount of talking at this show he still delivered a great performance. Marilyn Manson had a decent stage show with a great set list. The guitar and bass players were a bit stagnant and could have been more involved in the show, but all things considered I was satisfied. Rob Zombie came out and proceeded to utilize every inch of the stage as he danced and undulated to the groove. For an aging rock star I've gotta say Zombie still has plenty of energy and charisma to get the crowd fired up and involved in the show. They absolutely tore up the place with Superbeast and John 5's guitar solo was one of the best live solo's I've seen at a concert in a LONG time. Gary - if you don't like guitar solo's and lead singers going full throttle throughout the entire show - all while wearing leather outfits in 90+ degree heat - then perhaps a Bieber show is more up your alley?

ZOMBIE RULED THE NIGHT!

Dead Apples had no chance with the crowd, but sounded decent. Manson lacked energy, seemed tired, could've been the heat. Zombie kicked ass… not a fan of the newer stuff, but his classics were insane. Best show I've seen him do and I've seen plenty! John 5 was awesome. The entire band, stage props were incredible. Tight band and Zombie was everywhere, including in the middle of the crowd during John's solo. They looked like they were having fun and it showed. Marilyn just looked tired. Drunk ass crowd and not my fave venue. Security wouldn't let you have plastic bottles… but cups were ok? And only some had to empty drinks, depending on which 'security' person was by your section. But Zombie ruled the night and was definitely worth our 2+ hour road triptrip.

EXPECTED MORE!

Camden, parking and driving to the venue was horrible. Manson was OK but I was there to see Rob Zombie. I couldn’t understand a thing that came out of Manson. The vocals were a mess. I purchased good seats left of the stage and was told the stage show would be awesome.Far from awesome, they put up these cloth barriers on the stage that blocked a good portion of the stage. I kept thinking they were hiding something and it was going to be revealed during the show. No such luck what a mess. Rob Zombies performance was OK and I have nothing to compare it to from the past. I had a good time but was kind of disappointed. I really dig Zombies music but probably won’t go back. And Camden clean up your act!

GREAT SHOW

Goo to see Manson.he had great interaction w crowd.like his new look. Zombie was cocky and arrogant as usual. But he put on a great show. I will never pay $30 too park in xfinity .easy to get in, a nightmare to get out.it took 1 hour to get out of the parking lot.

SAD TO SAY... ROB MAILED IT IN AND WAS BORING

I've seen Rob Zombie about a dozen times and loved the shows. This show was crap! Too much talking, The song with MM sucked, and a guitar solo that was way too long. Rob's new music is terrible and all sounds the same. Too bad, but the old Rob Zombie might be gone for good. Sucks.

MANSON IS WASHED UP/ZOMBIE THE ONLY LIFE ON STAGE

Started off good and went down hill. His band was good but Manson is fat and out of shape, too wrecked to perform. He forgot words, left his band hanging and walked off the show. Sad and Pathetic, Boo. Rob Zombie was way better only by comparison, and saved the show with some stage presents. No Helter Skelter duet, RZ says"sometimes I do this song with a partner, sometimes I do it by myself....I guess tonight its by my self" Marilyn Manson no where to be found.

FT. WAYNE COLISEUM SHOW 08.11.19

I would’ve had a better time watching the interactions with protestors out front. Marilyn Manson is a drunk. Sounded terrible, moved like a snail, missed lyrics and asked for the crowd to fill in a lot. Definitely out of shape both physically and vocally. His band sounded great, especially his drummer. Rob Zombie was high pitched and struggled to keep up lyrically. We left, but we didn’t have high expectations after 20 years when we saw them last. People watching was five stars. Hate to say it because these guys were great 20 years ago when I saw them, but it’s time to hang it up.
