Love Marilyn Manson; Portrait, Antichrist and Mechanical Animals are all brilliant albums that I still enjoy listening too. The cover songs on Smells Like Children are all great and I really like some of the tunes on Holywood, which is an okay album.

I saw the band twice during the Guns, Gods and Government tour (2001,) once at the Manchester Evening News Arena (Christians gave us biscuits whilst we queued to get in, best protest ever) and later at the Reading Festival (where Manson duetted with Eminem on "The Way I Am.") Both shows were absolutely fantastic, amongst the best I've seen.

I didn't like Golded Age of the Grotesque, I think I only listened to it once. Saw them again in 2009 at Download and it was terrible. Manson had none of his old showmanship, no power to his singing and he fucked up Beautiful People (left out the first verse, sang the second verse twice.) Jonny Five looked pissed off for the whole show.
