Marilyn Manson - The Last Tour on Earth

The Antichrist Live

Overall I think this is a really good cd. Its all live, except for the very last track. It has songs from Mechanical Animals all the way back to Smells Like Children and pretty much all songs were a hit. Its worth checking out. September 26, 2007

MANSON

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT LIVE CD WITH EXCELLENT SOUND!YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ALL HIS MUSIC,ALL HIS WORDS,AND ALL HIS SPEECHES PERFECTLY.THE WHOLE CD IS CLEAR-IT CAN'T GET ANY CLEARER.IF YOU'RE INTO LIVE MUSIC-DEFINITELY BUY THIS CD! March 26, 2007

good Manson CD, but was lacking...

I am a huge fan of Manson back before he sold out and just about died off......This was a alright CD for a live album, but he used the same stories apparently on every time of doing a live show. If you like Manson, or just want to hear more of his music in general for any reason, go with "Portrait of an American Family" or "Antichrist Superstar", and even Mechanical Animals wasn't too bad February 27, 2007

Marilyn Manson: THE LAST TOUR ON EARTH (1999)

In 1999, Marilyn Manson went on his next tour which was appropriately entitled, THE LAST TOUR ON EARTH TOUR, named after the track "The Last Day On Earth", from his 1998 album MECHANICAL ANIMALS, in which his 1999 world tour promoted.. But Marilyn Manson didn't stop there, for in the same year, Marilyn Manson released his sixth album entitled, THE LAST TOUR ON EARTH, a live album featuring fourteen tracks, where the first thirteen are live performances from the tour. Each song is taken from many of Marilyn's performances from different concerts on the tour. The final track is a new track that was later featured on the CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH soundtrack, as one of the shows theme songs.

INAUGURATION OF THE MECHANICAL CHRIST
A great introduction.

THE REFLECTING GOD
Original version from the album ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR (1996). A great live performance. This song rocks.

GREAT BIG WHITE WORLD
Original version from the album MECHANICAL ANIMALS (1998). This is a great song, but it was never one of my all-time favorites.

GET YOUR GUNN
Original version from the album PORTRAIT OF AN AMERICAN FAMILY (1994). Performing a song from the album that started it all. Great song.

SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS)/HELL OUTRO
Original version of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This" from the album SMELLS LIKE CHILDREN (1995). This is a great performance, whereas the "Hell Outro" fits into the ending of the song perfectly.

ROCK IS DEAD
Original version from the album MECHANICAL ANIMALS (1998). Also from the original motion picture & motion picture soundtrack THE MATRIX (1998). This is such a classic Manson song. I could listen to this song or this live performance over and over again.

THE DOPE SHOW
Original version from the album MECHANICAL ANIMALS (1998). Great live performance.

LUNCHBOX
Original version from the album PORTRAIT OF AN AMERICAN FAMILY (1994). A great song, to which, I have to say: "Next Motherf***er's Gonna Get My Metal"!!!!

I DON'T LIKE THE DRUGS (BUT THE DRUGS LIKE ME)
Original version from the album MECHANICAL ANIMALS (1998). Great song. I had heard that for the studio version of this song, Marilyn Manson had to be "High" in order to get the right vocal and feel for this song. This is only what I've heard, so I can't verify if it's true or not.

ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR
Original version from the album ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR (1996). Great song.

THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
Original version from the album ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR (1996). Although this is one of my favorite songs, I wasn't really too impressed with this live performance.

IRRESPONSIBLE HATE ANTHEM
Original version from the album ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR (1996). Great performance.

THE LAST DAY ON EARTH
Original version from the album MECHANICAL ANIMALS (1998). Great performance.

ASTONISHING PANORAMA OF THE ENDTIMES
New Studio Track. Also from the original television series & soundtrack CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH (2000). The first & only single from the album released in 2000. This is the track that was also featured on the soundtrack and television series CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH were claymations of celebrities fight each other. Marilyn Manson was featured twice on Celebrity Deathmatch. First he was in Death Bowl '98 where he fought Charles Manson (coincidentally, Charles Manson's last name is how Marilyn Manson received his last name). The match ended with Marilyn Manson as the winner, where he killed Charles Manson by performing the Tehishan Skull Grip. He appeared later in the episode, by killing off the fighters of the last match. The last match was Spice Girls vs. Hanson. He killed off Spice Girls and Hanson by appearing on the ceiling of the arena, where he used a chainsaw to cut off the ringlights, where the ringlights fell and crushed Hanson and Spice Girls. Marilyn then appeared in another episode in 2000, where he fought country artist Garth Brooks. Manson won again, by taking Garth Brooks' guitar and using it to cut off Garth's skull cap. At that time, Hanson appeared in the same spot as Manson did before and tried to crush Manson with the ringlights, but little Zack Hanson couldn't contril the chainsaw, for it went out of control and killed all three of members of that stupid band. The video for this track featured Manson and his band in Celebrity Deathmatch Claymation form. A great song to close out his live CD. September 16, 2006

A worthy complement to Manson's studio work

If you are a Manson fan and have not experienced the band live this is a very smart buy. It provides a 1st-hand account of the main artist's larger-than-life and no-holds-barred behavior that wonderfully complements the misanthropy and anarchistic visions of his studio work. Ad libs of the traditional song lyrics, thunderous cheers and chanting from the live crowd, and darkly humorous intros like the "I had a dream last night" skit pull this whole thing together. It's the next best thing to being there, and it's cheaper. June 30, 2006
