"I feel like I've broken a rib today but, shit, that just means I can suck my dick easier."
That was the opening line after Mr. Manson's first track "We're From America" at his Brisbane [Queensland, Australia] concert on the night of the 17th of October.

The winner of the 2009 Golden God award for 'Icon' played a brilliant line up of classics such as "Beautiful People", as well as some from his latest album 'The High End of Low' such as 'Pretty As A ($)', 'Devour', 'Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon' and others.

Although the opening band 'The Arts' [I think the name was] were classic emo 'garbage', the sitting Manson devotees and constant chatter amongst the crowd showed exactly who they were interested in seeing.

With Twiggy Ramirez on stage with him, it was a great show full of smoke machines, lights, flags, lasers, great riffs, classic lines, humor and wit from the God of Fuck.

A well spent $89.90 [AUS] for the Front Section Standing Area [Mosh Pit] and one of the first groups of fans let in. Well worth it.

Plus, merchandise! Shirts from $50, Hoodies from $125 and Beer Coolers from $10 [all AUS$].
Was a brilliant night out, and with aching thighs and neck as proof, his concerts [whenever he next comes to AUS] is highly recommended.

Much love
