...Last time I saw Slayer was Nov '00 Columbus Ohio at Newport Theatre.
Here's my promised review: Bleeding through was the openning band. I'm not really a big fan of death/black metal, but they did a good job, alot of crowd participation. As the sun started to set at The Detroit Energy Music Theatre Slayer took the stage. Slayer came out and blasted the crowd with thier amazing display of hard core instremental skill and endend thier set with a deafening bang. Manson Began with "If I was your Vampire", set to a gothic themed stage including candles and a clock/moon screen show. From there he went into "Disposeable teens" and "Mobscene". After that the stage went dark. When the lights came back on, M.M. was on top of a giant Alice in Wonder Land themed chair, at which point he broke out with "Are you the Rabbit?" The light went off again and M.M. switched on a wierd spotlight helmet and sung "Sweet dreams" in the dark. He ended the song with the chorus to "lunch box". The lights returned with a screen of giant flames and M.M. singing "just a Car Crash Away", followed by "Rock is Dead". An explosion of heart shaped red confetti sprayed the crowd as he went into"Heart shaped glasses". Then proceeded with "Dope Show" including a vid of raining pills, followed by "Putting Holes in Happiness". "The Fight Song" had some technical difficulties with the boxing stlyled mic Manson was using, which he discarded before singing "The Love Song". At this point the lights switch to strobe half way through "The Reflecting God". During which M.M. is lifted about 60' into the air by a cloud of steam(In my opinion, the coolest part of the show). Finally his classic podium is brought out where he does "Anti Christ Super Star" and ending with "The Beautiful People".
Seems like you and I have alot in common x; age, art, and music. If we went to the same school, we'd probably would have been in the same circle of friends. I checked out your myspace....cool looking site bro!!!
