Josh and one of his friends are planning on going to the Marilyn Manson/Slayer show at whatever the HiFi Buys Amphitheatre is called now (oh, yeah, it's Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood). Also on the bill are: Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, All That Remains, God Forbid, Cannibal Corpse, Job For a Cowboy, Behemoth, The Black Dahlia Murder, and White Chapel. Essentially, we are talking about hours and hours of music that . . . I can't think of anything clever to say, so I'll just say hours and hours of music that I hate. Nevertheless, Josh and his friend think I should go. The thing is, I love people-watching, and I figure that this will be quite the opportunity to see some people that I ordinarily would not be seeing. Also, Josh's friend gets all prettied up for Marilyn Manson shows. Last time they went to one, he ended up in the Atlanta paper. So, it also might be fun to watch him/people's reaction to him.
So, my question is: Should I go?
Yes. Bring a camera, take pictures of the people, and post them on here for all of us to laugh at. Maybe bring an ipod, too
I had a lot of fun taking these pictures, and most everybody was really nice. There's a bunch:
^Check out the guy further back; love the wife beater burn lines.
^I did not expect to see a hackey sack game at the Slayer/Manson concert.
^He's dressed as Christina, Marilyn Manson's character from Party Monster.
^This girl was very upset that she missed Cannibal Corpse, but her mom was there and got in the pit.
^She was the only one who (acted like she?) wasn't very happy about me taking her picture, but I did ask and she did say it was okay.
^His mom moved out of the way while I took the picture.
^This one's kind of blurry, but I wanted to make sure and show y'all what a $10 beer looks like. Thanks LiveNation.

Nope, this one:
That's our friend Michael. You should have seen him on the train on the way there.
Josh and I left before Michael and his other friend Josh. As we were walking to the shuttle, this guy stopped Josh and said, "Hey, that blonde you were with earlier, was that a guy or a girl?"

Bahaha.. these are great! The boy actually drove down to ATL with his buddies on Friday for this show. I was a little paranoid he'd show up in your pictures of these folks (he has wife-beater tan lines). If I'd have known it would be such good people-watching, I might have gone with.
.... Ok, I wouldn't really have gone. Mosh pits scare me more than people do.

^We didn't stay for Manson. I really just saw Slayer and a little bit of Cannibal Corpse. Neither one is my thing, but my boyfriend dug them both (particularly Cannibal Corpse).

Josh had been to two Manson shows already, and both times, he was surprised at how much it was not a spectacle. Our friends that we went with stayed for Manson, but some time during Slayer, we realized that if we wanted to get more beer before we went home, we were going to have to skip Manson. (They stop selling beer at 11:45 in our grocery store, and our friends got off the train right at midnight.) One of them loved the show, but he's a big fan. The other one said it was okay. Apparently, someone threw a full water bottle on stage at the beginning of the set, so throughout the show, Manson kept spitting Powerade on the crowd.

I saw Marilyn Manson a few years ago at Voodoo Fest in New Orleans. It was pretty crazy but I actually thought it was a really good show! I had a blast!
I've seen Manson a few times, he gets worse each time though and its sad (6 times)
WhiteChapel, Black Dahlia Murder, Behemoth, and Job for a Cowboy would be a hell of a start to the day. I thought for some reason that Suicide Silence was on the lineup too...

Man, my boyfriend and I almost went to that but didn't go because of money constraints. Sad I missed the crowd! I HAVE been to Behemoth/Dimmu Borgir at the Masquerade...my first metal show. It was quite an experience. I had a crowdsurfer dropped on my head but I still enjoyed it
I didn't know fuzzy raver boots were popular at metal shows? Did I miss a memo?
