Cronología del concierto de Marilyn Manson |
La banda estuvo de gira desde el 5 de septiembre de 1996 hasta el 16 de septiembre de 1997, tocando un total de 175 espectáculos en Europa, Japón, Oceanía y América del Norte y del Sur. [1] La gira marcó un período para la banda en el que alcanzaron nuevas alturas de atención y notoriedad en los medios de comunicación por el anti-cristianismo sin complejos del líder franco de la banda , Marilyn Manson , la proliferación de acusaciones y rumores de las supuestas payasadas de la banda en el escenario. , numerosas amenazas de bomba , [2] [3] intentos exitosos y fallidos de las salas de conciertos para bloquear sus espectáculos, resistencia de los legisladores locales y estatales, impugnaciones legales y protestas de grupos religiosos y cívicos como la Asociación de la Familia Estadounidense y Oklahomans for Children y familias . Varias administraciones escolares en todo el país también amenazaron con la expulsión de cualquier estudiante que asistiera a uno de los conciertos de la banda o vistiera ropa "inspirada" por la banda o directamente vendida por ella. [4]
Casi todos los lugares de América del Norte que visitó la banda recibieron piquetes de organizaciones religiosas. [5] Los oponentes de la banda basaron sus protestas en afirmaciones exageradas e infundadas de abuso de drogas en el escenario, bestialidad y rituales satánicos , es decir, sacrificios de animales y humanos , y afirman que la banda solía tener relaciones homosexuales entre ellos y ese concierto de menores de edad. los asistentes fueron violados violentamente por otros miembros de la audiencia.

La gira fue dirigida por el importante sello discográfico Interscope Records . Su nombre se deriva de la canción "Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World". En la película del concierto: Dead to the World en VHS en 1997 y lanzada en 1998 se registró una selección de material de archivo y de backstage de la gira Dead to the World Tour .

En 1996, Estados Unidos se había dividido culturalmente. La generación del baby boom se alineó con la derecha política durante la presidencia de Ronald Reagan . [8] [9] En 1992, el ex candidato presidencial estadounidense y paleoconservador Pat Buchanan declaró una "guerra por el alma de Estados Unidos" contra lo que consideró la degradación moral promovida por los ideales del liberalismo político . [10] [11] [12] Un año después, el secretario de Educación de Reagan -era , William Bennett, temía que la cultura pop contemporánea se hubiera convertido en una influencia corrupta que alejara a la juventud estadounidense de los valores tradicionales y cofundó el grupo de defensa conservador Empower America (ahora conocido como FreedomWorks ). Al igual que el Centro de Recursos Musicales para Padres (PMRC) no partidista , Empower America buscó desalentar lo que consideraba entretenimiento objetable al aprobar una legislación para castigar a las empresas de medios que los promocionaban. La presidencia de Bill Clinton también estuvo bajo presión de la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos luego de la exitosa toma de posesión de la Cámara por el presidente Newt Gingrich en 1994. [13] [14] Para apaciguar a estas facciones, Clinton adoptó una tercera vía: el estilo de gobierno. que sincretizó las políticas socialmente conservadoras del Partido Republicano con las suyas . [13] [15]
En 1996, Bennett fue coautor de Body Count: Moral Poverty — y cómo ganar la guerra de Estados Unidos contra el crimen y las drogas junto al criminólogo John J. DiIulio Jr. y el ex zar antidrogas de Estados Unidos John P. Walters . [16] Los autores argumentaron que la cultura pop de la década de 1990 había convertido a la cohorte Millennial (especialmente los niños de color ) en una raza ultraviolenta de "superdepredadores" amorales: " jóvenes sin padre , sin Dios y sin trabajo " que son "radicalmente impulsivos , [y ] brutalmente implacable ". [7] Debido a su gran número (40 millones por debajo de los 10 años, el mayor en décadas), los autores advirtieron que esta cohorte pronto desencadenaría una epidemia de delincuencia que empequeñecería el pico de 1994 en la tasa de delitos violentos juveniles (a pesar de su precipitado descenso antes de la publicación del libro). [17] [18] DiIulio predijo que Estados Unidos pronto se enfrentaría a " jóvenes de la escuela primaria que empacan armas en lugar de almuerzos " con "absolutamente ningún respeto por la vida humana y sin sentido del futuro". [18] Para combatir este ataque inminente percibido de la juventud nihilista, el libro prescribió expandir la Guerra contra las drogas , aumentar la edad legal para beber , imponer sentencias de prisión más estrictas , restablecer la oración escolar e impedir el acceso de los jóvenes al entretenimiento con contenido violento y / o sexual. . [7] [19]
El libro provocó pánico y provocó la introducción de la HR3565 - Ley de depredadores juveniles violentos de 1996 ante el 104º Congreso de los Estados Unidos por el representante Bill McCollum de Florida y copatrocinada por 19 republicanos y 2 demócratas. [20] [21] Clinton se comprometió durante su campaña de reelección de 1996 a abordar la amenaza con una represión al estilo de la ley y el orden contra el comportamiento de los adolescentes denominada "Orden y disciplina". [17] [22]
Este clima volátil coincidió con la grabación de Antichrist Superstar . [22] Animados por la recepción positiva de su cover de 1995 de Eurythmics " Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) ", la banda se acurrucó con el mentor y productor Trent Reznor en el estudio de grabación de Reznor en Nueva Orleans y comenzó a trabajar en su segundo álbum.
Promoción y Noches de Nada
—Milyn Manson [23]
Tras la conclusión de las sesiones de grabación de Antichrist Superstar , la acritud entre la banda, Reznor y el sello vanidoso de Reznor , Nothing Records , estaba en su apogeo. [24] [25] La banda acordó a regañadientes cumplir con su obligación contractual de promocionar el disco, un poco más de un mes antes de su lanzamiento, actuando en la segunda noche del tramo final del Self Destruct Tour de Nine Inch Nails en Irving. Plaza , el 5 de septiembre de 1996. Apodado Noches de nada , el espectáculo fue una muestra de la industria organizada por Reznor de la lista de talentos de su sello. [23] [26]
Antes del concierto de esa noche, el líder Marilyn Manson y el bajista Twiggy Ramirez aparecieron en un episodio especial , dedicado al showcase, del programa de MTV 120 Minutes titulado "120 Minutes of Nothing" para una entrevista sobre su álbum con el presentador Matt Pinfield . [27] También discutieron el despido de la guitarrista Daisy Berkowitz durante la grabación y su reemplazo, Zim Zum . [27] Manson atribuyó la separación a "diferencias creativas", afirmando que, "nuestro viejo guitarrista, realmente no podía comprender el concepto de Antichrist Superstar ". [28] [N 1]
Mientras interpretaba la última canción del conjunto de cinco canciones de esa noche, "1996", Manson arrojó un soporte de micrófono con peso a la batería y luego salió del escenario. [26] [30] El soporte golpeó accidentalmente al baterista Ginger Fish en un lado de la cabeza, enviándolo de cara al suelo y dejándolo inconsciente. [30] [31] Fish logró gatear unos centímetros antes de colapsar y fue llevado por el personal de la carretera al hospital. [30] [31] La lesión de Fish requirió cinco puntos de sutura y se difundió un breve rumor de que el incidente fue un asalto deliberado. [26] Fish contó más tarde que lo hubieran golpeado en la cara si no hubiera vuelto la cabeza en el último momento y dijo sobre el incidente: "A veces nos dejamos llevar un poco". [31] [32]
El 12 de septiembre de 1996 MTV anunció la fecha de lanzamiento de la gira y la fecha de lanzamiento del álbum. La gira se lanzó el 3 de octubre de 1996, cinco días antes de la fecha de lanzamiento oficial del álbum, el 8 de octubre de 1996. [26]
Partido de ida (gira por América del Norte / América del Sur / Europa 1996)
Show de escenario
La banda es conocida por su teatralidad grandilocuente y controvertida que involucra una producción masiva. En su diario de gira, Manson notó la diferencia en los lugares y la energía de sus salidas anteriores en comparación con Dead to the World Tour. [33]
Manson a menudo usaba su traje característico que consistía en un tirante elástico en la espalda, un suspensorio sobre una tanga, medias transparentes, correas de cuero alrededor de las pantorrillas y zapatos negros de suela gruesa. [34] Los espectáculos consistieron en múltiples cambios de escenario, incluido un vitral de la iglesia que se desmoronaba de Jesús que representaba una estatuilla de figuras empaladas en lanzas y acompañadas por un conjunto de largas escaleras desde las que Manson bajó para interpretar la pieza inicial, "Ángel con el Alas con costras ". [35] La banda tocó con stahlhelms cromados . En su autobiografía The Long Hard Road Out of Hell , Manson describió la actuación como un comentario social y una autocrítica a la vez, destinados a resaltar la delgada línea entre la celebridad y la demagogia. [35] [33]
La automutilación fue un elemento recurrente. [34] Para " Man That You Fear ", el micrófono estaba cubierto de flores blancas. También hubo un efecto de nieve o ceniza que se usa principalmente para "Cake and Sodomy" y "Cryptorchid". [35] Marilyn Manson tocó la guitarra en "Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World" y "The Minute of Decay", también toca la flauta de pan para "Kinderfeld".

Durante la actuación de la banda en el Asbury Park Convention Hall de Nueva Jersey en Halloween , circuló el rumor de que Manson tenía la intención de suicidarse en el escenario frente a una audiencia en vivo. [37] [38] Manson descartó el rumor como "probablemente padres esperanzados pensando que habrían estado librando al mundo de Marilyn Manson, pero desafortunadamente planeo estar un poco más para hacer las cosas incómodas para todos". [39] La actuación de la noche también se retrasó una hora debido a una amenaza de bomba que requirió un barrido explosivo del lugar por los perros detectores de bombas de una unidad K-9 . [37] Cuando la búsqueda no arrojó nada, el programa continuó con normalidad. Las bandas locales Helmet y NY Loose abrieron el espectáculo. [37] Manson comentó además sobre el rumor de suicidio en su diario de gira: "Esta noche de alguna manera comenzó el rumor de que me iba a suicidar. Pero he muerto tanto en el último año [refiriéndose a las tribulaciones de grabar Antichrist Superstar ] , No creo que quede mucho por matar ". [23]
La policía local planeaba grabar en video el concierto de dos noches de la banda el 13 de noviembre de 1996 y el 14 de noviembre de 1996 en Jannus Landing para asegurarse de que Manson no violó las leyes locales de obscenidad. Fueron retirados después de que ambas fechas coincidieran con los disturbios de 1996 en San Petersburgo, Florida . [40] Manson afirmó en una entrevista posterior con Rolling Stone que fue arrestado esa noche, lo que fue cuestionado por el Departamento de Policía de San Petersburgo . [41] [42]

El 11 de diciembre de 1996, William Bennett organizó una conferencia de prensa bipartidista , junto con el senador Joseph Lieberman y el secretario del estado de Pensilvania C. Delores Tucker , en la que cuestionaron la capacidad del presidente de la MCA , el propietario de Interscope, Edgar Bronfman Jr. para encabezar la etiqueta. de manera competente mientras se beneficia de álbumes "llenos de blasfemias" de artistas como Tupac Shakur , Snoop Dogg y Marilyn Manson. [44] [45] Tucker había llamado previamente al EP de la banda de 1995 Smells Like Children el "disco porno más sucio y desagradable dirigido a niños que jamás haya salido al mercado". [46]
El día después de la conferencia de prensa, Snoop Dogg se reunió con Manson después de la primera parada de este último en el Reino Unido en el Foro de Londres el 12 de diciembre de 1996. El sello de Snoop Dogg, Death Row Records , confirmó que los dos líderes discutieron planes para colaborar en un remix de rap rock de " La gente guapa ". Snoop Dogg también estaba de gira en Inglaterra para promocionar su propio álbum de 1996, Tha Doggfather, y un representante de Interscope Records le presentó por primera vez a Manson en los MTV Video Music Awards de 1996 . Snoop Dogg luego le dijo a Spin que planeaba que Manson hiciera una aparición especial en su próximo disco. [47] [48]
Segunda etapa (gira por América del Norte 1996-1997)
—Milyn Manson sobre las amenazas de bomba nocturnas de grupos de derecha durante la gira. [49]
Una semana después de que comenzaran la promoción y la venta de entradas para el concierto de la banda el 11 de enero de 1997 en el Utah State Fairpark , el director ejecutivo del lugar, John Whitaker, canceló el compromiso de la banda el 19 de diciembre de 1997. [50] El espectáculo fue el primero de la banda. concierto en más de tres años en un lugar importante de Salt Lake City desde que Manson rompió un Libro de Mormón en el escenario en el Delta Center (durante su período como acto de apoyo en la gira Self Destruct de Nine Inch Nails) en protesta por la prohibición de actuar por la gerencia de este último lugar, quienes se sintieron ofendidos por la mercancía de la gira de la banda. [50] [51] La banda pronto se ganó notoriedad entre el estado de Utah 's Mormón población -majority. [50] [52]
De manera similar, Whitaker encontró "desagradables" los carteles y las letras de las canciones de la banda. [53] Según Whitaker, podría cancelar el concierto porque el promotor de la gira , Scott Arnold y Dave Merkely, nunca firmaron el contrato AFM Performance Agreement. [50] También argumentó que, si bien el Utah State Fairpark es propiedad del estado , está arrendado y administrado por Fairpark Corp., una empresa privada con una imagen familiar que "desea una reputación de altos estándares en nuestro negocio. actividades. Por esa razón no les vamos a permitir que produzcan el concierto de Marilyn Manson aquí ". [51] [53] [54]
Ocho días después, un grupo de fanáticos de Marilyn Manson que ya habían comprado boletos, encabezados por un demandante de 18 años identificado en los documentos judiciales solo como "Armado", obtuvo los servicios del abogado Brian Barnard y presentó una demanda en el Distrito de los Estados Unidos. Tribunal del Distrito de Utah el 27 de diciembre de 1996 contra el estado de Utah con el argumento de que la cancelación violó su derecho constitucional de la Primera Enmienda de escuchar expresiones musicales en el concierto. [50] La demanda argumentó, "Whittaker canceló una aparición de Marilyn Manson ... basado en la letra de la canción y la publicidad de la banda". Los demandantes no buscaron daños monetarios ni reembolsos, pero solicitaron una orden judicial para obligar al lugar a albergar el concierto. [51] [53]
La banda terminó el año con un piquete de la American Family Association durante su concierto de Nochevieja del 31 de diciembre de 1996 en el Will Rogers Coliseum en Fort Worth . Los manifestantes pudieron entrar por la fuerza al interior del lugar. [55]
La banda llegó a Wolf Mountain a pesar de que el autobús de la gira se salió de la carretera debido a una tormenta invernal . [56] Deseret News informó que 2.400 personas desafiaron el clima para asistir al concierto. [56] El diseño del escenario consistió en un cuadro de vidrieras que representaba a San Miguel Arcángel matando al dragón durante la Guerra en el Cielo del noveno verso del duodécimo capítulo del Libro de las Revelaciones , un órgano de tubos y una máquina de humo . [56] L7 abrió el programa y Marilyn Manson tocó un set de una hora que incluyó "Angel with Scabbed Wings", "Organ Grinder", " Get Your Gunn ", "The Reflecting God", " The Beautiful People " e "Irresponsible Hate Anthem. Manson dedicó su interpretación de "Cake & Sodomy" a La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días . [56] [57]
Durante el show, un miembro del público mantuvo el objetivo de un láser de rifle - alcance a Manson. Un Manson irritado desafió al miembro de la audiencia a dispararle y se paró encima de los altavoces del monitor para "darle [a él] un mejor objetivo". [57] Manson luego se lastimó el pecho al arrastrar una botella rota durante su interpretación de " Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) ". [56] [57] Deseret News informó que su interpretación de la canción de Eurythmics atrajo los mayores aplausos de la noche. El concierto llegó a su punto culminante con la canción "Antichrist Superstar". Para esta canción, el diseño del escenario se transformó en una manifestación fascista simulada . Manson, vestido con un traje de predicador, se paró frente a un atril negro y rojo adornado con el logotipo de 'shock' del Antichrist Superstar mientras arrancaba páginas de una Biblia (que algunos medios locales confundieron con otro Libro de Mormón). [56] [57] El telón de fondo se cambió del cuadro de vidrieras a tres pancartas verticales de gran tamaño desplegadas del techo y adornadas de manera similar como el atril. El espectáculo terminó con un bis de dos canciones y 14 minutos. [57] [N 2]
Al día siguiente, el 12 de enero de 1997, la banda enfrentó otra amenaza de bomba antes de su actuación en el O'Connor Fieldhouse en Caldwell, Idaho . [58] Con el fin de "dar a las personas de la comunidad la oportunidad de tener una alternativa" al concierto, la Primera Iglesia Cristiana de Caldwell organizó un espectáculo, denominado "Concierto de la Guerra Santa", de dos bandas de rock cristianas locales . [58]
Un incidente menor tuvo lugar la noche antes del concierto de la banda en el PNE Forum el 15 de enero de 1997 en Vancouver , Columbia Británica , Canadá. La banda celebró un evento de firma de autógrafos en una tienda de discos canadiense local al que asistieron miles de fanáticos, muchos de los cuales esperaron hasta 10 horas. Cuando se supo que la banda se estaba preparando para irse, una multitud de alrededor de 500 fanáticos que todavía hacían cola afuera se agitaron y pelearon entre sí para apresurar la entrada. Si bien no hubo heridos, la oleada rompió la ventana frontal de vidrio de la tienda, lo que provocó que la banda se fuera. Luego, la turba tomó las calles, pero se dispersó rápidamente después de que llegaran 30 policías. [59]
The band's February 2 concert at the Pan American Center on the campus of the New Mexico State University in Las Cruces was cancelled on January 31, 1997 due to the venue's inability to provide ample security for the event. School administrators blamed a contractual issue with local police for their inability to supplement their meager campus squad while the police department countered that they haven't patrolled school concerts in some time and that the university should have contracted a private security firm instead.[60]
—Gov. Frank Keating's official statement
The band's February 4, 1997 show in Lubbock, Texas's Fair Park Coliseum at South Plains Fairgrounds was met by protests from a group of 75 religious activists denouncing the band for their alleged endorsement of "violence and Satanism." The protesters were met by Manson showgoers outside the venue and erupted in a verbal confrontation.[61][62] Later that same evening, Manson wrote in his tour diary that paramedics refused to treat him with oxygen for exhaustion. They explained to him that they didn't agree with his morality and therefore didn't deserve their services. Manson sarcastically quipped in the diary, "God has somehow managed to find his way into the Hippocratic oath ... Apparently Jesus saves, but the paramedics here don't."[63] The band was warned to expect similar resistance heading into their next stop in Oklahoma City.[62]
Former Republican Omaha mayor Hal Daub accused the band of promoting, "satanism, murder, and date rape" and warned parents to keep children away from their concert. He stopped short of cancelling the concert because "the band could sue the city if it was prevented from playing.[64][61]
The school administration of Elmbrook Middle School in Milwaukee banned the "Marilyn Manson look" from school premises after a fight broke out between a faction of Marilyn Manson fans and "anti-Manson" students precipitated by antagonism over the Manson fans pretending to "cast spells" on the opposing group. Black lipstick, fishnet stockings, corpse paint, pentagram jewellery, and the band's T-shirts were prohibited thereafter.[65]
Tercera etapa (Tour Japón / Oceanía 1997)
Japan
—Marilyn Manson, Dead to the World Tour diary[66]
While the band was in Japan for the Japanese leg of the Dead To The World Tour, MTV broke that Manson was involved in a project with Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan who, at the time, was involved with multiple projects of his own. There were no details provided but MTV noted that both frontmen became fast friends at the premiere screening of the 1997 Howard Stern film Private Parts in New York City.[67] Manson wrote about meeting Corgan for the first time during the premiere at length in his tour diary.[N 3] The reported joint project was never released although Corgan went on to serve as the band's unofficial music consultant for their next studio LP Mechanical Animals.[69] Despite this, almost 21 years after the Private Parts premiere, keyboardist Madonna Wayne Gacy (who left the band in the intervening years) disputed "arrogant-yet-whiny ass" Corgan's involvement with Mechanical Animals.[70] He further disparaged the friendship between the frontmen and went on to describe Corgan as pretentious and "thinks he's Brian Eno."[70][N 4]
Prior to the band's final show in Japan, held on March 12 in Tokyo's Club Quattro, Manson sat with MTV Japan's Ken Ayugai for an interview where he explained his motivations in writing the album,
It's always been part of my nature, growing up, to question the popular opinion of the mainstream and Antichrist Superstar really is an album about just that. It translates beyond just being against Christianity. Here I think, in Japan, people can relate to it in terms of questioning the popular opinion. It's an album about searching for something to believe in and going through religion to relationships to drugs to power to music and finding, in the end, you've got to believe in yourself.[71]
Oceania
The final date of the band's first Oceania tour commenced, as scheduled, on March 22, 1997 at the Nimitz Hall in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin reported that the show was a sold-out performance despite protests from Christian groups Word of Life and Youth With A Mission.[72] The show started an hour late and ended abruptly, after only 45 minutes, when Manson was rushed to the hospital in the middle of their performance of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)." MTV initially reported that Manson fainted onstage and slipped on a sharp object but a representative of the concert promoter, Goldenvoice, clarified that Manson had accidentally pierced an artery while lacerating his chest with the shards of the lightbulb he smashed on the ground at the beginning of the song. He received six stitches.[73][74] The protesters credited their prayer vigil with the show's abrupt end.[72] Rumor quickly circulated in local press that the vocalist tried to commit suicide onstage by cutting his wrists open during the show which the band's manager refuted. He assured MTV that Manson was recovering.[74] The Honolulu Star-Bulletin praised the show and noticed, "The band's noisy, but polished sound on recordings translated effectively on stage. Gone were all the weird synthetic effects—or maybe they were drowned by the guitars? All that was left was rhythm. Pounding rhythm. Primitive rhythm. Rhythm with which to slam all those around you."[72] The next leg of the tour, exclusively arena shows, commenced as planned on April 5, 1997 at the La Crosse Center in La Crosse, Wisconsin.[72][74]
Cuarta etapa (gira Arena 1997)
—Marilyn Manson[75]
Having failed to convince city officials to cancel the band's April 25, 1997 concert at the state-owned Wendler Arena in Saginaw, Michigan, Reverend Dana Wilson of the Saginaw Valley Community Church presented the Saginaw City Council on April 9, 1997 with a petition, signed by over 20,000 signatories, to legislate the same rating system and age restrictions on concerts as the MPAA Film Rating System and TV Rating System.[55] The restrictions would require minors attending the Manson concert be chaperoned by their parents.[55] Rev. Wilson asserted minors under the age of 18 are not protected by the United States Bill of Rights and therefore do not possess First Amendment protections.[55] The proposal and the argument used to support it prompted MTV to wonder, "do Marilyn Manson fans have First Amendment Rights?"[76]
Christian protesters who claimed the band "promoted devil worship" greeted concertgoers outside of the Jacksonville Memorial Coliseum on the night of April 17, 1997. WTLV-12 reported some of the concertgoers engaged in debate with the protesters while "others called it harassment." The protesters tried to preach to the concertgoers as they entered the Coliseum where they were frisked by security guards. By the band's request, no spiked chains, necklaces or collars were allowed inside the venue. During the concert, Manson invited the audience to spit on him. He spat on them in return. The show also featured Manson tearing an American flag apart.[77]
Across the parking lot from the Coliseum, the Christian protesters organized a concert of local Christian rock bands at Wolfson Park. The concert played late into the night, well after the Manson show ended, "in the hope that some of the Marilyn Manson fans would wander over there after this concert and listen to some of their music and hear their messages."[77] Later that evening, Manson recalled in his tour diary a phone call from his father, Hugh Angus Warner, who recently saw an episode of Real Stories of the Highway Patrol taped the same week the band was in Florida. The episode was about a police chase in Ohio with a "25 year old Christian fanatic with missing teeth" carrying a trunk full of guns headed to Florida "to kill the Antichrist."[78][N 5]
Four days after the cancellation of the Columbia, South Carolina show, the City Manager of Richmond, Virginia, Robert C. Bobb, told The Washington Post on April 15, 1997 that he intended to follow South Carolina's lead with the band's May 10, 1997 concert after found their "Satan worship and animalistic type of programming not consistent with our community standards."[55][79] Bobb argued no deposit to lease the intended venue, the 13,500-capacity Richmond Coliseum, had been received by the City Council of Richmond nor, borrowing an argument from John Whitaker, had the contract with the band's concert promoter been signed. Hence, Richmond was under no legal obligation to stage the performance.[80] The concert's promoters acknowledged the show's fate was uncertain. With only 2,000 of the 9,000 available tickets sold, the promoters met with the City Council to salvage the show.[81] Later that day, the City Council ordered the Coliseum to cancel the show.[82] The next day, Manson and Ramirez announced they had entered studio sessions with Rasputina to record a remix of the latter's song "Transylvanian Concubine" off of their debut release Thanks for the Ether and had been enjoying a congenial working relationship during the tour.[81]
—Draft of the statement Marilyn Manson gave on MTV responding to the cancellation of their South Carolina show.[78]
Expecting the cancellation from Richmond after the defeat in South Carolina, the Virginia branch of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) began preparing a lawsuit on First Amendment grounds against the city of Richmond the very day of cancellation.[81] The lawsuit argued that the concert was only cancelled because Richmond authorities were offended by the content of Manson's lyrics. The legal director of the ACLU of Virginia, Mary Bauer, explained to Reuters on April 17, 1997 "all of a sudden, the City Council decided they didn't like the content of the lyrics. You cannot, based upon on the content of lyrics determine who can play in a public forum."[83] The band's attorney, First Amendment specialist Paul Cambria, followed the next day by threatening the city of Richmond with a prior restraint (i.e. censorship) and civil rights lawsuit of his own.[84]
After issuing a press release titled, "Statement of the New Jersey Sports Authority Management Regarding Marilyn Manson and the Ozzfest Concert", on April 18, 1997 negotiations between the annual heavy metal festival Ozzfest and the operator of Giants Stadium, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA), broke down.[85] The NJSEA demanded the band and Pantera stricken off the roster before they would sell tickets for the June 15, 1997 show and triggered a contract clause that afforded them the "opportunity to omit any performer from the bill under certain circumstances."[85] The operators cited crowd control concerns resulting from the band's controversial reputation and the alleged deleterious effects of their shows on youth as reasons for the demand.[86] The festival's founder and organizer, Ozzy Osbourne, responded with a statement calling the decision "blackmail" and an abridgement of the First Amendment. Osbourne resolved to keep the band on the roster and stated, "nobody has the right to tell me who I can perform with." Cambria immediately filed a freedom of speech lawsuit against the NJSEA on behalf of Manson and concert promoters Delsener/Slater Enterprises Ltd. and Artie Festival Inc.[80]
That evening, the tour's Winston-Salem stop at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum saw protesters from twenty Piedmont Triad churches hold prayer vigils outside of the venue. Like most Christian groups, the protesters believed the band's music advocated "murder, rape and pedophilia" and feared it "gets inside of you and you dwell on that and some people can act it out."[87] Republican State Senator Mark McDaniel of North Carolina participated in the protests and printed three hundred leaflets calling the concert, "objectionable for children", which he and a handful of volunteers handed out to passing motorists around the coliseum. McDaniel also gave a speech at an alternative concert, that featured three local Christian rock bands, held by the local First Assembly of God. The alternative concert was organized around the same time it was announced the Dead to the World Tour was coming to town and was meant to counter the Manson show by offering an "alternative" to concertgoers.[87] Two days later, Osbourne filed a separate lawsuit against the NJSEA on freedom of speech grounds and vowed to "take his case to the Supreme Court, if necessary."[88]
Following a private, two hour deliberation with the city attorney on April 21, 1997, the City Council of Richmond decided to overturn City Manager Robert C. Bobb's decision to stop the band's May 10 concert. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that the City Council determined that the city wouldn't be able to withstand the lawsuit the ACLU of Virginia threatened them with on Manson's behalf. The executive director of the Richmond ACLU, Kent Willis, noted, "It's clear that [Bobb], in announcing the cancellation, initially had not consulted the city attorney. Had he done that, all of this might have been avoided."[89][90]
Speaking about the defeat, Richmond Mayor Larry E. Chavis pointed out that he authorized the city to employ other means to halt the show including offering the band an undisclosed amount of cash to skip the Richmond date, which the band refused. Ticket sales recommenced later that day after the City Council received assurance from the band's representatives that the group will abide by all applicable laws. However, the City Council still vowed to monitor the show and announced they would prosecute "any violation of law by any party during the performance."[89][91]
Three days later on April 24, 1997 plaintiffs Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, Delsener/Slater Enterprises Ltd. and Artie Festival Inc. consolidated their lawsuits against the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA). The four plaintiffs, under Cambria's representation, filed a preliminary injunction in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to compel the defendants (the NJSEA) to permit the concert and reinstate ticket sales.[92][93] The next day, Cambria took aim at the American Family Association (AFA) and struck back with a four-page cease and desist letter against founder Dr. Donald E. Wildmon and Gulf Coast chapter president David Rogers for "disseminating false and libelous statements throughout the states and foreign countries" against the frontman and his bandmembers through its website, the AFA Journal and automated answering machine.[94] The letter targeted, in particular, the pair of affidavits, from January 17, 1997 and January 24, 1997, signed by an anonymous pair of teenagers and published by the AFA that alleged the band engaged in satanic worship, child sacrifice, animal murder, bestiality, pedophilia, gang rape and drug distribution during their concerts and demanded the AFA publish a retraction, publicly apologize, and disclose the identities of the alleged affiants. The letter threatened to seek "all available legal remedies, as well as compensatory and punitive damages" against the organization.[94]
Wildmon claimed that his organization as a whole was not responsible, but rather the AFA's Gulf Coast chapter in Biloxi, Mississippi.[92] Cambria responded, "we're not buying any of it", and noted that while their website has been taken down, the AFA's phone bank still encouraged people to submit unsubstantiated information about Manson.[92][93] Cambria reiterated his threat to retaliate and said he had begun preparation to file a lawsuit against the AFA.[95] MTV were present during the Oklahoma concert, that the affiants claimed to have attended, and reported they did not witness any of the alleged acts. They further pointed out the security guards were employed by the venue, and not by Manson.[95] Four days later on April 29, 1997 the New York area concert promoter for Ozzfest, Ron Delsener, met with the NJSEA to negotiate a resolution without trial that would keep Manson on the bill. The negotiation failed and the District Court of New Jersey ordered the NJSEA to appear on May 6, 1997 and present a show cause.[84][85]
On the evening of May 6, 1997 the band stopped in Utica, New York for a concert at the Utica Memorial Auditorium. Their performance of the song "Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World" was later featured on the EP Remix & Repent. Rasputina carried on as the band's opening act after Helmet parted from the tour following the Pittsburgh show.[96] The next day, Federal District Court Judge Alfred M. Wolin of Newark, New Jersey ruled that the NJSEA, a government agency, had no right to interfere with the plaintiff's contract or ticket sales and granted the injunction which effectively guaranteed the band "right of passage" to perform at the stadium with the Ozzfest lineup.[85]
—Federal District Court Judge Alfred M. Wolin's ruling on Marilyn Manson, Inc v. New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority[85]
The case Marilyn Manson, Inc v. New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority found that the defendants had "violated [the] plaintiffs' rights under the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and the corresponding provisions of the New Jersey Constitution." Judge Wolin lectured the defendants on the meaning of the First Amendment and "permanently enjoined and restrained [the defendants] from prohibiting [the plaintiffs] ... from presenting the OzzFest '97 concert performance." Wolin further noted that "the NJSEA's requirement that all performers sign a contract allowing the NJSEA to regulate the morality of concert programs may be an unreasonable restriction on access to even a non-public forum. Plaintiffs argue that the NJSEA's authority to reject any performer based on inadequately defined guidelines is an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech."[85][97][N 6] The NJSEA vowed to appeal the court ruling.[98][99] That evening the band recorded their performance of "Antichrist Superstar" at The Meadows in Hartford, Connecticut. The recording was also included in Remix & Repent.[96]
Inspired by the constant controversy that hounded the tour, MTV launched an online trivia game called 'Route 666' on May 8, 1997.[100][101] The game laid out the band's US tour itinerary, and quizzed players on the events that happened before, during, and after each stop.[98] Tragedy struck the tour on May 9, 1997 when a member of the band's lighting crew, 30-year-old Sean McGann, fell 90 ft. from a catwalk to his death while setting up equipment for the band's show at the D.C. Armory in Washington, D.C. Police confirmed McGann was intoxicated and ruled the death an accident. Manson dedicated that evening's performance of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" in his memory.[102][103][N 7]
During the Richmond concert the following evening, the Richmond Times-Dispatch estimated "a hundred-plus" Christian protesters, including Dr. Paul Richardson of the Christ Worship Center and evangelist Shirley Jackson, descended on the concert. The protesters accosted concertgoers with slogans like "God loves you" and "If you don't repent, you will die in a lake of fire!" They also handed out free cans of Surge as they urged concertgoers to leave. An ad hoc group called Citizens for Decency in America was also present and held banners that said, "He's [Jesus] coming soon" and "Hell is Real". The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported concertgoers either mocked the protesters or engaged them in debate about faith and free speech while two local radio stations situated at the 7th Street entrance to the Coliseum, alternative rock WRXL-FM and urban gospel WBZU-FM, engaged in "battling decibels" as they each tried to drown out one another.[91][104]
The City Council followed through on their promise to monitor the show and distributed undercover members of the local vice squad among the audience. Manson led the audience to an expletive-filled lampoon of the City Manager, as he took the stage, for trying to cancel the show before he wiped the American flag on his ass then derided both the vice cops in the audience and the Christian protesters outside the venue. The Richmond Times-Dispatch described the show as "one of the starkest culture clashes in Coliseum history"[91]
The Arena leg of the tour ended with a performance at the Blockbuster Sony E-Centre in Camden, New Jersey on May 11, 1997. Six days later, the NJSEA officially abandoned plans to appeal the ruling and allowed tickets for the June 15, 1997 Ozzfest show at the Giants Stadium to go on sale, with Manson on the bill, on May 17, 1997 for US$40 (equivalent to US$64 in 2020).[105] MTV remarked of Manson's legal battles, "[the band] has become a political punching bag for showboating local officials across the country this year."[102] Rasputina travelled to Europe with the band and continued as opening act for the tour's pair of festival dates in the Netherlands.[106]
Quinta etapa (gira europea de festivales 1997)
Controversy finally followed the band outside of the United States. By now a globally recognized household name, a group of 400 Welsh Christians unsuccessfully tried to put a stop to the band's May 19 concert at the Newport Civic Centre. Having failed that, the group picketed the band's concert. The group was organized by a local Welsh pastor named Ray Bevan, who is the father of 60 Ft. Dolls drummer Carl Bevan.[107]
The remix sessions for Rasputina's song "Transylvanian Concubine" concluded by the latter half of May. It was reported that Manson and Ramirez completed three versions of the track.[106] One of the versions was made available on May 21 as a free downloadable preview, in RealAudio format, on Rasputina's website.[108] A week later, it was reported that all three versions would be made available in an EP titled Transylvanian Regurgitations due in mid-June.[106]
Snoop Dogg met again with Manson during their Paris stop on May 29 at Le Bataclan. Manson recounted in his tour diary how Snoop Dogg, who was still on tour, reaffirmed his interest to work together on a project "and something involving marijuana."[78][N 8] Despite this, the rap rock collaboration remix of "The Beautiful People" never materialized.[48]
After their Milan performance, the band took time off the tour and headed to a New York studio again. This time with British trip hop band Sneaker Pimps to begin the recording process on "Long Hard Road Out of Hell". Both groups were chosen to collaborate on a song for the "metal meets electronica" soundtrack of the 1997 motion picture Spawn.[109]
Sexta etapa (Ozzfest 1997)
Séptima etapa (gira por Canadá 1997)
A July 22 concert at La Luna in Portland, Oregon was canceled when the venue was unable to obtain insurance for the event.[110]
Their concert at Calgary's Max Bell Arena three days later was canceled by the owner of the venue, Larry Ryckman, who cited the band's reputation as justification for doing so. He was later successfully sued by the band's promoters for $66,000 in damages.[111]
—Marilyn Manson's introduction to their rendition of the Patti Smith's "Rock N Roll Nigger" in Toronto.[112][113]
An incident with the Toronto Police Service took place during their July 31, 1997 show at Toronto's Varsity Arena. MuchMusic's FAX reported the police warned Manson and his entourage backstage that if the band performed their rendition of Patti Smith's song "Rock N Roll Nigger", the frontman would be arrested for "promoting racial disharmony" under Canada's Hate speech laws.[114] Manson recounted in his tour diary that, in an effort to "fuck with the police", he wore a peaked police cap during the encounter and had himself accompanied by his African-American friend, Corey, who "looks like he'll kick the shit out of anyone who's white" and his bodyguard, Aaron.[112][113]
When asked which song they had issue with, Manson recounted the ruse worked as the caucasian officer in charge "nervously mumbled" the offending song title "specifically so as not to offend Corey." Manson told FAX that he explained to the officer the song wasn't meant to be racist rather, "it's written on behalf of artists and musicians and people who feel they're on the outside of society—that they've been discriminated against for who they are or what they believe", and noted the irony that in being told what he can't sing the officer unwittingly engaged in the type of discrimination discussed by the song.[112][114] The hapless officer seemed nonplussed, according to Manson, so he informed the cops no revisions would be made to the set list and "we would see what happened when it was done."[112][113]
To further embarrass the police, Manson gave a speech about the encounter to the audience as he introduced the song as an encore then invited Corey to help him sing, particularly the lines with the offending lyric. Manson also donned a police uniform along with the badge of a cop killed in the line of duty.[112] Manson ended his diary entry on the incident stating, "what we and the crowd realized more than anything was that nobody here hated 'niggers.' We all hated cops. I didn't get arrested or even reprimanded. The cops might not have been listening, though. They were probably too busy searching the bathrooms for plungers to stick up our asses."[N 9]
On the same day, Manson and the Sneaker Pimps announced that their joint effort for the Spawn soundtrack was complete and the collaboration went smoothly. According to Manson, the songwriting process consisted of his band writing and recording the song. They then sent the Sneaker Pimps a master tape of their work, "almost in a remix sense, that they would take our ideas and interpret them." Manson described the Sneaker Pimps' contributions to the song as "very magical" and added that he "adored" vocalist Kelli Ali's input. Ali's bandmate, Liam Howe, also voiced similar satisfaction with the final product and described it as, "a really interesting hybrid of comedy-electro-Goth, which is exactly what we like."[115]
Tramo final (gira europea / sudamericana / mexicana 1997)
Politically Incorrect appearance
—Florence Henderson, defending Manson after Lakita Garth criticized him for comparing himself to Jesus Christ.[116][117]
Manson appeared as a panelist alongside Florence Henderson, G. Gordon Liddy and Lakita Garth on ABC network's late-night political talk show Politically Incorrect with host Bill Maher. The episode aired on August 13, 1997 while the band was in Rome, Italy for their show at the Palaghiaccio di Marino.[118][119] The panel discussed topics ranging from the "symbiotic relationship" between Christian groups and "whoever they're against", individualism, social perception, the history of Rock music controversy, music censorship, perspective, religious hypocrisy, violence perpetrated in the name of the Bible, personal responsibility and sexual repression.[116][120][121]
The episode was marked by a stark contrast between Garth's combative attitude and Manson's calm articulation.[116] Garth, a conservative Christian and an advocate for abstinence, disapproved of Manson's views and onstage antics.[117][121] In her words, "when I see this young man, you know, it does draw a line in the standard. We need to realize we are in a cultural war and everyone wants to straddle the fence. Either you are Antichrist or you are Christ. It's as simple as that."[116]
Maher challenged Garth, "don't you think all of us have both [good and evil] in us?", to which she indignantly replied, "I don't! No, I don't!"[116][121] Maher noted the distinction between the rumors and "the reality" of what Manson's concerts consisted of, some of which Maher observed were, indeed, controversial. In particular, Maher pointed to Manson destroying Bibles on stage and desecrating the flag of the United States by wiping it on his ass.[116][117] When Maher confronted him about it, Manson responded:
Absolutely. They're designed to make people think. But the point with the Bible or flag is to say, "It's only as valid as you make it in your heart." A piece of paper or a piece of cloth doesn't mean anything. It's what you believe. And I want people to think about what they believe. I want them to consider if everything they've been taught, if that's what they want to believe or if that's what they've been told that they have to believe.[116]
Manson reasserted his goal to encourage thinking for one's self by challenging people's values. He argued the value in looking at things from a different perspective which Garth repeatedly opposed to, insisting the Christian perspective is the only valid one.[120][121] Henderson, best known for her role as the matriarch Carol Brady in the American TV sitcom The Brady Bunch, came to Manson's defense, "It's all about perception, isn't it, Marilyn?"[55] She recalled, "you know what? I look back—seriously, I look back at the early "Brady Bunch" days. I looked like the Antichrist. That hair and the skirt and the platforms, right?"[116][117]
—Manson's response to Garth's accusation that he took the Bible out of context.[116]
Watergate scandal conspirator G. Gordon Liddy was notably sparse in his commentary, in part because Garth talked over everyone. He did have moments such as when he exclaimed, "he is not taking the Bible out of context, he is taking Friedrich Nietzsche out of context!" about Manson, during a heated conversation on violence perpetrated in the name of the Bible.[116] The panel also discussed lyrics in Garth's own rap album Lakita, specifically those from a song that dissuade young people from condom-use. Maher thought it would encourage condom fatigue among "horny teenagers" and found it to be "more irresponsible than anything on one of [Manson's] records."[116]
Several publications noted that Henderson had taken Manson's side throughout the episode and was eager to defend him. Stephan Horbelt of Hornet described it as "quite an exciting moment in pop culture."[117][120][122] Even Maher observed, "Mrs. Brady, I think we've made a love connection", prompting her to grab Manson's hand and joke "we're going to the prom together."[116][117]
—Manson to Bill Maher, who replied, "I couldn't agree more."[116][55]
Henderson was visibly annoyed during the show by Garth's sanctimony and prudery.[116][117] In one instance, Garth boasted that on her public speaking tours she encouraged young people "to do something good" and took "full responsibility" for her words, suggesting Manson did neither. Henderson retorted, "Well you certainly know how to speak, Lakita, let me tell you that!"[116] In another heated exchange, Garth recounted refusing jobs that involved profanity, indecency or immorality (which she characterized as "spread[ing] my legs for any ol' Joe") due to her moral standards. An exasperated Henderson admonished, "I hope you will always be able to live like that. I hope you don't have many challenges in life." Garth insisted she did and, after Henderson sardonically asked "do you?", angrily snapped back, "I have very many challenges in life. And I would like for you to come to dinner with me and learn those challenges on that [unintelligible]! And you can pick up the tab."[116][117]
Maher voiced similar frustration with Garth's stubbornness. In one instance, Garth invited Manson to dinner with her friends "and just shoot the breeze", Maher jested "and then you could be with Ted Kennedy one night" (a reference to the Chappaquiddick incident).[55] He also cracked that the sole Commandment in The Satanic Bible was "kill Lakita Garth" when Garth quizzed Manson about it.[116][120] Almost 18 years after the episode aired, Manson was asked by an audience member during The End Times Tour press conference if he was interested to reprise his appearance on Maher's successor show to Politically Incorrect, Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO. Manson said he wasn't.[123][N 10]
1997 MTV Video Music Awards performance
The band took two weeks off following the last European show of the tour on August 24, 1997 at the Reading and Leeds Festivals. On September 4, 1997 the band flew to New York and performed "The Beautiful People" for the grand finale of the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards.[124][52] The song had reached No.26 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and its music video was nominated at the show for Best Rock Video.[52]
Preceded by a marching band playing "Hail to the Chief", Manson entered the stage in a full-body black fur coat flanked by mock United States Secret Service agents,[52] and delivered a speech to the audience of Hollywood celebrities from a microphone-covered lectern emblazoned with the phrase 'Antichrist Superstar' in classical Latin script and the band's 'shock' logo fashioned to look like the Seal of the President of the United States:
My fellow Americans, we will no longer be oppressed by the fascism of Christianity. And we will no longer be oppressed by the fascism of beauty. As I see you all sitting out there trying your hardest not to be ugly, trying your hardest not to fit in, trying your hardest to earn your way into Heaven, but let me ask you—do you want to be in a place that's filled with a bunch of assholes?[124][52]
After the speech the band launched into "The Beautiful People", with Manson striking rigid poses as he sang. Manson removed his coat midway thru the song and revealed a second costume underneath that consisted of a leather corset and g-string which revealed his bare buttocks, a pair of thigh-high fishnet hosiery attached to a leather garter belt and calf-high leather boots. The performance came to its climax as the band smashed their instruments at the end of the song.[52] As the show closed, host Chris Rock teasingly yelled for the audience to "Run to church right now! Get your asses into church, or you're going to hell!".[124] Despite their extremely negative review of the program as a whole, Rolling Stone singled out the performance as "riveting".[125]
South America, Mexico and the end of the tour
At the launch of the annual music festival CMJ Music Marathon, the Sneaker Pimps expressed disappointment with end result of their Spawn collaboration, "Long Hard Road Out of Hell." The group explained that, despite their distaste for heavy metal music, they saw the collaboration as an opportunity to, in Howe's words, "polish a turd." They claimed they were not invited to the song's final mixing then prevented from creating their own mix by not being provided a master tape. Howe dismissed the standalone single as "kind of dance meets metal or rock or whatever." Ali was more pointed in her criticisms. She said Manson's band "weren't very good" and called the song "crap."[126]
—Marilyn Manson on the Sneaker Pimps, [127]
The following week, Manson took time off during the second evening of their show in Buenos Aires and responded through MTV Latino. He called the Sneaker Pimps "very confused individuals." He disputed their claim that they weren't issued a master recording, suggesting that they had created a remix for the song, but refused permission for it to appear on the single when they were informed it would appear as a b-side, instead of as the main single version. He also characterized their involvement as "a bit of a favor, in a sense, because we had already written the song, and I was interested in finding a girl to sing back-up vocals on it, and [they] were begging, asking to be involved with us. I thought they had a good single, and the girl's voice was great. When we worked on the song, I think they were a little upset, because there wasn't much for them to do because the song was already done." Manson also announced plans to shoot a music video for the song following the conclusion of the tour in Mexico City.[127]
The second to last show of the tour on September 14, 1997 at Santiago, Chile's Central Court National Stadium attracted protests from a bishop and a local trucker's union. The protesters alleged the band was promoting Satanism in the majority Catholic nation.[127]
Secuelas
Eight days after the end of the tour former guitarist, Scott Putesky (aka Daisy Berkowitz), filed a lawsuit against the band, their lawyer, Nothing Records and the frontman for breach of contract and legal malpractice. The suit alleged wrongful dismissal and outstanding royalties. Putesky claimed he was discharged after a six-year tenure, which included helping start the band, with no warning during the recording of Antichrist Superstar. He said the band simply bought him a plane ticket home as a way of informing him his employment was terminated. The band's manager asserted that Putesky sent a letter of resignation and thought the departure was on amicable terms.[28]
Recepción de la crítica
Reviews of the tour from music critics of the period were generally divided among political, religious and generational lines, with a few notable exceptions. Before the Salt Lake City show even commenced, the editorial board of The Salt Lake Tribune dismissed the band's songs as "profanity [laced] and anti-establishment swill" and likened allowing such "low-class entertainment" to perform at the Utah State Fairpark to "accommodating the Ku Klux Klan."[128] Guided by that editorial slant, The Salt Lake Tribune writer Steven Brophy disparaged the actual concert. Seemingly disappointed with the absence of the band's alleged props and antics such as, "fluorescent sexual devices, on-stage nudity and simulated sex acts", Brophy dismissed the show as "tame, poorly done B-movie theatrics" and the band thus, "if the Sex Pistols were the original great rock n' roll swindle, then Marilyn Manson is the sequel."[57] Scott Iwasaki of Deseret News shared similar sentiment going so far as to describe Manson as "the pretentious prince of industrial metal", the band as "uninspiring", and the bible-tearing portion of the performance, "been there, done that. C'mon guys, time for a new gimmick. This one's getting old." Both writers disdained the band's song catalog with the sole exception of their cover of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)", which they noted elicited a sing-along from the audience. While Brophy thought opening act L7 "outplayed Manson", Iwasaki was less enthusiastic and described their "slick choreography and power chords [as] nothing but Judas Priest leftovers."[56]
Then there's the mainstream media, playing its usual double-faced game. Namely: run endless sensationalistic stories about Manson, and then run numerous editorials rife with the usual "we're so jaded and above it all" tone [that] give the impression "it's just Alice Cooper again", as if any kid today could give a flying whizz about a guy who last released a memorable album in 1973, you know, before most of Manson's fans were born.[113]
Unlike the other theatrical rock performers to who he's often compared—Cooper, KISS—Manson's art is not merely meant for the passive consumption of spectacle. He's overtly rhetorical, constantly striving to influence his audience and uses his theatrics to implant within them the germ of his Satanic philosophy, which afterall is really a more colorful version of good ol' atheistic existentialism a la Nietzsche, Sartre and Camus. This theme was exemplified in Manson's forlorn reading of "Man That You Fear" at the show's conclusion, standing, as he was, alone at center stage, slowly buried beneath a barrage of artificial snow.
In a world in which the anaesthetized, TV-fed masses wait to be told what to think by slimy politicians, hypocritical religious leaders and conniving corporations, Manson's true sin is to posit the notion that all of these people are full of shit, that the only way to live an authentic life is to take away their reins of power and remake yourself in your own image. To think for yourself: A notion that truly scares many people out of their wits.
Never mind the bollocks—that's why they're protesting.[113]
Emisiones y grabaciones
Due to "disagreements" between Nothing Records and its distributor, Interscope, Dead To The World and Remix & Repent were put on hold from release in 1997.[129] It was finally launched on February 10, 1998 on VHS, documenting the infamous tour of the same name by Marilyn Manson. It contains primarily live performances but delves into backstage and archival footage of the band. Manson stated in November 2005 that he was interested in re-releasing Dead to the World and its follow-up God Is in the TV on DVD. Nothing has surfaced so far.[129]

Notes
- ^ Manson on 120 Minutes: "Our old guitar player [Daisy Berkowitz], he couldn't really grasp the concept of Antichrist Superstar ... We just had creative differences, and I don't think he liked our fans really. He didn't really understand what we were about, you know, so we just wanted to represent us as honestly as possible, so we thought we'd be a lot stronger if we were to get someone else on the team."[28] In his autobiography, Manson shared that Berkowitz misunderstood the album's concept as "a musical about Jesus Christ going on a rock tour."[29]
- ^ The encore consisted of an unidentified song and "Man That You Fear."[57]
- ^ In a lengthy March 1997 tour diary entry, Manson wrote about arriving to the premiere of the Howard Stern film Private Parts with his date, singer Fiona Apple, and running into Corgan whom he immediately plied with muscle relaxants, "We decided that they made us feel "fruity", and then we decided that that would be a great name for a band to start together. So we began having a long, in-depth meeting inspired by the fruity drug to create a fruit-filled experience called Fruity, which will probably never happen because I don't know where I put those pills. I was surprised that Billy was cool because I thought he'd be a total asshole from all the spiritual hate mail I had gotten over the years from Trent [Reznor], who allegedly despises Billy over an alleged conflict allegedly dealing with Courtney [Love] because when Trent allegedly fucked Courtney, which he says he didn't, Billy allegedly fucked Trent's alleged girlfriend, which he allegedly says he did, or so I'm told." The entry went on to describe the pair's drug-induced adventures that evening including Manson going home with former pornstar Jenna Jameson.[68]
- ^ Gacy: "You saw how Brian [Warner, better known as Marilyn Manson] and Jordie [White, better known as Twiggy Ramirez] hung around Billy Corgan like some sort of Idol? I refuse that shit. In fact every time I met him he pissed me off, and I wanted to punch him in the fucking face."[70]
- ^ Tour Diary entry (undated): Just got a phone call from my father. He was watching Real Stories of the Highway Patrol and said that on the show they caught a guy they had been chasing across Ohio. When they pulled him over, they found a trunk full of guns. He was a 25 year old Christian fanatic with missing teeth, and he said he was going to Florida to kill the Antichrist. The episode had been taped the same week we just played in Florida.[78]
- ^ Judge's opinion on the case: Currently before the Court is an application to enjoin the New Jersey Sports Exposition Authority ("NJSEA") from preventing the "OzzFest '97" concert, which includes performer "Marilyn Manson", from being held on June 15, 1997 at Giants Stadium. Marilyn Manson is a heavy metal band that the NJSEA has deemed objectionable. Marilyn Manson's right of passage to perform at Giants Stadium is now impeded by roadblocks created by the collision between well established constitutional and contractual principles. This Court ordered on April 29, 1997 that the NJSEA appear on May 6, 1997, to show cause why the NJSEA should not be preliminarily and thereafter permanently enjoined and restrained from: (1) prohibiting plaintiffs Marilyn Manson, Inc., Artie Festivals N.J., Inc. ("Artie"), and Delsener/Slater Enterprises, Ltd. ("Delsener/Slater") from presenting the OzzFest '97 concert performance including the band Marilyn Manson at Giants Stadium on June 15, 1997; (2) prohibiting or otherwise interfering with ticket sales for OzzFest '97 to be held at Giants Stadium on June 15, 1997; and (3) taking any action to repudiate or otherwise breach its agreement to lease Giants Stadium to plaintiffs on June 15, 1997. Plaintiffs ultimately seek (1) a judgment declaring that the NJSEA has violated plaintiffs' rights under the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and the corresponding provisions of the New Jersey Constitution; (2) an order permanently enjoining the NJSEA from violating plaintiffs' Federal and State constitutional rights, (3) an award of damages, costs, and attorneys' fees under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1988, and (4) a judgment on plaintiffs' claims for anticipatory breach of contract and promissory estoppel. The Court has considered the written submissions of the parties1 and the oral arguments presented. For the reasons stated herein, the Court will grant plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction.[85]
- ^ Tour diary entry on McGann's death (dated May 10, 1997): Just found out that one of my roadies, Sean McGann, died last night. He had been drinking and was trying to rappel down the catwalk. But he forgot to attach the ropes. I know it's not my fault, but I can't help feeling that it somehow is, because if it wasn't for me he'd still be alive. Maybe I've lived a sheltered life, because outside of my dog Aleusha this is really the first person close to me who has died. It makes me wonder what I was thinking years ago when I tried to kill Nancy and our old bassist, Brad. Trying to kill them would have been pointless. Nature takes its own course. It's Social Darwinism. People get what they deserve. But did Sean really deserve that?[78]
- ^ Tour diary entry (May 29, 1997, Paris): I talked to Snoop Doggy Dogg today. Well, I'm not sure if you could really call it talked because I could hardly understand a word he was saying. I think what he was trying to communicate was that he wanted to work with me in some sort of capacity and something involving marijuana.[78]
- ^ The full tour diary entry (dated July 31, 1997, Toronto): Today the police told me that if I sang the Patti Smith song "Rock N Roll Nigger" I would be arrested under the hate crime law for promoting racial disharmony. So to fuck with the police I had a friend of mine, Corey, who happens to be black, accompany me and my bodyguard, Aaron, into my meeting with these moronic individuals. Wearing a police hat, I asked the officer in charge what problems he had with our show. He nervously shuffled through his notes and said "There's one song in particular", as if he couldn't remember what it was, and then he mumbles "Rock and Roll Nigger", specifically so as not to offend Corey, who looks like he'll kick the shit out of anyone who's white. I went on to explain to him that not only did Patti Smith write the song (and not me) but that the song represents that isolation and discrimination of people for their ideas and their beliefs and their art which ironically was exactly what this asshole was doing. He still didn't seem to understand so I told him quite simply I would do the song and we would see what happened when it was done. Though I told him the show would not be changed, I did change it in several simple ways. I donned a police uniform and something given to me by a fan, a badge formerly in the possession of an officer shot in the line of duty. I also invited Corey to help me sing, in particular the lines with the word nigger in them. We performed the song as an encore, and I introduced it by saying, "I want to tell you about something that happened recently. There's a song that's twenty years old written by a woman named Patti Smith. And a couple of white cops came up to me and they said, 'You can't sing that song.' They said that it's against black people. What I wanna explain to those moronic fucking idiots is that song's about people like me and you, people that get discriminated against for the way we are. Just like they fucking discriminated against us today. And they didn't understand. It's because they are a bunch of fucking idiots. So I dedicate this song to the Canadian police force." What we and the crowd realized more than anything was that nobody here hated 'niggers.' We all hated cops. I didn't get arrested or even reprimanded. The cops might not have been listening, though. They were probably too busy searching the bathrooms for plungers to stick up our asses.[112]
- ^ Manson explained that while he liked Maher's 2008 documentary film Religulous, he found Real Time with Bill Maher to be "not balanced". He explained, "He did have a magic when he would invite completely diametrically opposed characters on the show that made it politically incorrect, but obviously he got kicked off TV for that."[123]
