[Coffee-OD]

GOD DAMN! I didn't get my ticket...
All standing places are taken/ reserved. :(
Byhyy, they were sold out in 10-15 minutes when ticket sale started. Alto, I didnt want a standing place and got three tickets myself.

[dmn]

Yep, I'm going too. Wish it could be DEC 20 already.

[Scribbler]

F*ck. F*CK I TELL YOU!... and stuff. god damn it.

[Scribbler]

Okay... I'll calm down now... 'cause I just heard that Manson is probably coming to Estonia...also in December. hell f*cking yeah!

[dmn]

Scribbler, where did you hear that?

[Scribbler]

A friend of mine heard it from her friend who works in the ticket shop or sth...
and now there are some rumors in estonian forums too... I so wish that it is true.
Oh and when Placebo came here, my sis heard the same way - it a lot time before it was announced.

[Disloyal]

I`m going too.

[Miss Woland]

Of course; when heard for first time Manson's gonna play here in Finland, it was clear that not even lack of money would make me skip this gig...:) curious to hear, how the EMDM-songs will work out on that night.

This isn't the first time he's playing here :/ He played in Provinssirock about 3 or 2 summers ago if i recall correctly.

[dmn]

This isn't the first time he's playing here :/ He played in Provinssirock about 3 or 2 summers ago if i recall correctly.

Summer 2005.

And in Helsinki, 2001.

[Coffee-OD]

This isn't the first time he's playing here :/ He played in Provinssirock about 3 or 2 summers ago if i recall correctly.
I think Miss Woland meant that when she heard about this gig for the first time, not about Manson playing here for the first time here.

[dmn]

Day after tomorrow!

I'm getting more and more anxious as the minutes go by.

[Disloyal]

Day after tomorrow!

I'm getting more and more anxious as the minutes go by.

That´s surprising... Me too :P

Me and my friends planned to give a little gift for Manson. Something typical from Finland:the Kalevala, salted liquorice (salmiakki), a bottle of salmiakki booze and Finlandia vodka, but the Kalevala I ordered was bullshit and I don´t have enough time to find a new one so our gift idea is kind of ruined. :( There´s no point to give them just booze, I think they have enough alcohol already.

[dmn]

Disloyal, wow, that sounds awesome. How/when are you going to give that to Manson?

[Disloyal]

I planned to give it to the record company and ask they to post it to Manson. It worked with Muse (I didn´t send anything, just heard from it and thought it would be nice thing to do).

Vittu, en jaksa enää vääntää englantia sulle :D Universal Musicille tai sitte Welldonille ajattelin sen lahjan kiikuttaa, lähetin viestiä mutta mitään ei ole kuulunut, eli juttu on vähän jäissä nyt.

[Necrophilip]

Well, duh. List me.

[maniac master]

have fun there!^^

[Disloyal]

Yeah, I can feel the adrenaline in my veins already.
23 hours 14min to the show.

I wonder if Manson will mention our petition tomorrow, if he's even heard of it.

[mar1lynman5on]

I hope that this Helsinki show be as good as the one from 2001.

have a good time.

[Be_Obscene]

I hope that you guys in Finland have a good time, although his vocal chords were somewhat damaged after the Stockholm show (he mentioned this @ the Gothenburg show).

I shall return tomorrow for your reviews of the concert. Considering that he has been awesome live since september/october, you'll probably get a hell of a show!

[falsechrist]

I'll be in front row for sure, last Manson gig was in Hultsfred 2005, AAG Tour. It was ok gig, setlist was a bit boring though. Helsinki 2001 was awesome.

[falsechrist]

Yeah, it was ok gig. He talked pretty much after songs and interacted with audience all the time. No changes in setlist.
As a band, i think this is pretty much the weakest lineup in history of MM. Ok, i know they've been touring their asses off, so thats acceptable to be pretty tired, and not to deliver with full power every night, but band was kinda boring. Except Ginger, who looked and sounded really good. He's not the most techical drummer in this world, but thats not the point anyway. You dont have to be some blastbeat machine to play in MM, he has good groove and looks really cool while playing. Kind of Eric Singer style. Im really glad he still plays with Manson, hope he doesnt get replaced with some faceless session musician.
What it comes to Manson himself, he looked and sounded tired as hell, but still delivered ok show.

[dmn]

Fucking awesome. I went to the Icehall at 6 a.m. (christmas morning :D) and after all got a place frm 1st row.

Awesome set and much better gig than in Provinssirock-festival 2005.

Got a few good photos and they'll be in our website ( www.marilynmanson.fi ) later on.

My friend got a backstagepass and cocaine was flowing in the air.

[maniac master]

tell us more, please! xD

[mar1lynman5on]

Except Ginger, who looked and sounded really good. He's not the most techical drummer in this world, but thats not the point anyway.

Ginger is awesome, he really enjoys playing in Marilyn Manson, he put too much energy in every goddamn tour, since SLC and he still doing an incredible job.
I hope the same as you, I don't want Ginger out from MM, I think that it won't happen, he's the only drummer for MM.

[adihash]

hi everyone, i just registered to the board even though i've read it for a while now.

i'm gonna write a small review of the gig..

this was the second time i see manson during emdm tour. me and a couple of friends of mine went to offenbach show on 3rd december and compared to that one manson's voice was a lot better. we were afraid that he had totally lost his vocals after 12/17 but i totally disagree falsechrist about manson sounding tired: during faster songs like disposable teens and irresposible he was able to sing clearly and not just scream like he basically did at offenbach. he actually sounded even better than @ provinssirock a few years ago.

what comes to tim and ginger, they did an incredible job too. although tim looked a bit tired he was doing tricks all the time.

the crowd was a bit lamer than i excepted. probably because most of the people in pit were kids. at least i got a chance to concentrate on the performance more than i've used to. i was standing about 6 meters in front of tim.

like said, no exceptions to the set list. no big mistakes either, everyhting went as planned and the speeches were funny. manson talked about "hellsinki not being hot but cold" and made a speech about a guy in front row that didn't clap his hands and told him to go home.

one funny thing i noticed before the gig was that they played kanye west's "stronger" both in offenbach and helsinki: it was so funny to see people's reactions during that, everyone was like wft :D

i'll post some pics i took later on!

i hope these will bring some good memories :) the second pic shows how many digital cameras there were in the beginning. kinda reminds me of japan :D

[HaTeRaPeR]

At last, Tim is showing some flesh :P yummi!!

[Peg-Legged Greg]

Great pics, and thanks for the review! I really like the 6th pic in the first picture post

[adihash]

no problem, yeah that's my fav pic too!

[Disloyal]

The best show ever! Ever!
I managed to get in the 1st row with my girlfriend and all of my friends were close. I couldn´t hope more.

The supporting band, happiness, was quite good. They played well. There were lots of assholes yelling "you suck","MANSON" and "go away" which I found very irritating and sad because everyone knew that Manson wouldn't come any sooner even if they had went away and they played well. Must have been nice to have a chance to support Manson and then the crowd turns up to be bunch of assholes.

The show was awesome, everything sounded great. I think Manson´s voice was really good and the band played well, especially Ginger looked very happy. Manson was also in a very good mood. He talked a lot and praised the crowd. I think the crowd was in fire too. It was just perfect.
Are you the rabbit, Reflecting god, ACSS and beautiful people were my favourites. In the end Manson jumped in to the crowd and borrowed my friend's hat and my girlfriend said she touched lightly his dick but didn't dare to grab :D I touched his biceps, not so big ;)
Manson interacted with the crowd all the time which was nice.

And yeah, this was the first time I saw him

[maniac master]

wow, nice pics!
thanks!^^

[Disloyal]

Why is everybody so quiet..? :/

[GunsOfBrixton]

Awesome pics!

[fuck-me-suck-me]

[Disloyal]

By the way, There were no professional cameras :(
But I saw a girl in the right side of the stage filming with a small videocamera.
Hopefully we'll see something footage when/if the DVD comes out.

"A.O.Salazar" and "yummi" at Tim's shirtless chest? Did that really come from the same user?

Great pictures! Thanx a lot, dmn :)

[mar1lynman5on]

great pics, thank you.

[mar1lynman5on]

great pics, thank you.

[HaTeRaPeR]

Well, the A.O.Salazar doesn't really mean what you probably think it does, Doktor, I would kill that prick with my own hands. It's more of a personal twist.

Anyway, great pictures everyone, looks like a great show.

Cheers
