Marilyn --- in a wheelchair after a September injury that crushed his leg -- was performing at the Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino ... the city where a terrorist killed 14 people in December 2015. Perhaps with that in mind -- and a penchant for controversial headlines -- Marilyn pulled out the fake rifle while performing "We Know Where You F****** Live." A mic is attached to the scope of the rifle. Disturbing as hell. 11/6/2017 Marilyn Manson goes for a shock while Rob Zombie, Stone Sour rock at Knotfest 2017 – Press Enterprise THINGS TO DOMUSIC + CONCERTS Marilyn Manson goes for a shock while Rob Zombie, Stone Sour rock at Knotfest 2017 Marilyn Manson performs during day two of Ozzfest Meets Knotfest at Glen Helen Amphitheater Sunday in Devore, CA.

The second half of the Ozzfest Meets Knotfest weekend was just as crowded — if not more packed than — Ozzfest the day before. Knotfest, curated by beloved metal band Slipknot, featured sets by Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor’s Stone Sour, Orange County’s Eighteen Visions, San Diego electronic rock duo Prayers, Testament, The Black Dahlia Murder and more. In the 12-hours of hard rocking chaos we came up with the most memorable moments from Knotfest 2017. Shock vs. rock While out on tour in early October, shock rocker Marilyn Manson was injured when his hey double pistol stage prop fell and crushed him, breaking his right leg in two places. Despite his very obvious medical walking boot, Manson made his return to the stage at Knotfest, rst in a rig that was half wheelchair, half Segway that allowed him both to stand and sit and maneuver 360 degrees. He addressed his injuries in between “Revelation #12” and “Disposable Teens,” telling the crowd, “I am broken, but you can’t break me.” He performed in front of the same props that had crushed him earlier in the year, though this time they were probably more secure. The ow of the set was a bit awkward and momentum was denitely lost between tracks as two men in scrubs and surgical masks would come out on stage and aid Manson into his next getup. “I don’t have to detail how much this sucks,” he said at one point. “I’ve got a broken ankle, but I’m still here. I’ve got one more foot to kick someone’s (expletive).” The band breezed through “Dope Show” and the newer cut, “Deep Six.” Manson donned a hospital gown and hopped up on a gurney for his famous cover of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” Following that cut he was wheeled out in an actual wheelchair by one of the men in scrubs, only this time he was wielding an obviously fake semi automatic shotgun with a bright orange cap on the tip. His microphone was also rigged to the gun and he sang into it as the band launched into “We Know Where You (Expletive) Live” off of his new album, “Heaven Upside Down.” As he delivered the song, he pointed the gun at the audience, letting the drums serve as the rapid re. http://www.pe.com/2017/11/06/marilyn-manson-goes-for-a-shock-while-rob-zombie-stone-sour-rock-at-knotfest-2017/?utm_source=dlvr.it&ut… 2/7 11/6/2017 Marilyn Manson goes for a shock while Rob Zombie, Stone Sour rock at Knotfest 2017 – Press Enterprise Coming on the eve of a mass shooting at a church in Texas, Manson could have had a bit more tact, but it’s Manson. He has always aimed for the shock value or to be provocative and though some that were in the crowd thought it was “lame,” the stunt didn’t seem to truly bother anyone else, especially with the handful of San Bernardino Sheriffs standing on either side of the stage. Where Manson was clearly out for the shock value, headliner Rob Zombie just wanted to party and rock. And he did both. Amid all the ashiness of the horror-themed stage set up complete with skeletons, monsters and more, Zombie and his mighty band — guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D and drummer Ginger Fish — came out fast and hard with “Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Supertown.” They kept pace into “Superbeast,” “In the Age of the Consecrated Vampire We All Get High” and Zombie pumped up the crowd and encouraged the ladies to hop on the men’s shoulders for “Living Dead Girl.” He’s literally the coolest guy out there sporting glittery bell bottoms, a cowboy hat and a fringe jacket. Slipknot’s presence Though the festival namesake and curator, Slipknot, did not headline Knotfest this year, its presence was still very much felt. Lots of fans donned Slipknot T-shirts, full-on costumes and grotesque replica masks from their favorite players in the masked metal band. Much like the rst year of the fest, the band members themselves could have walked around in their full get up unnoticed since the fans are pretty good at copying their stage costumes. Those same fans also went wild during Stone Sour’s turn on the main stage. The band is Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor’s successful and more melodic side band, one in which he performs unmasked. The guys ripped through tracks like “30, 30- 150,” “Made of Scars” and “Absolute Zero,” while Taylor slowed things down a bit and jumped on guitar for “Through the Glass.” Someone in the crowd obviously disapproved as in that moment they launched either a cup or bottle of liquid at the frontman. They missed, prompting Taylor to retort, “Aw, did you miss? I remember my rst beer, too. Make sure to tell your mom I said ‘hi’.” Musical meet and greets http://www.pe.com/2017/11/06/marilyn-manson-goes-for-a-shock-while-rob-zombie-stone-sour-rock-at-knotfest-2017/?utm_source=dlvr.it&ut… 3/7 11/6/2017 Marilyn Manson goes for a shock while Rob Zombie, Stone Sour rock at Knotfest 2017 – Press Enterprise Record store FYE set up a small pop-up record shop on site where fans could purchase CDs and vinyl releases from Ozzfest Meets Knotfest artists for $12-$20. The store also hosted two signing booths and early day performers, including Prayers, Warbringer, Goatwhore, Upon a Burning Body, Exhumed and Stitched Up Heart, logged autograph time. Fans were stoked to be able to meet and greet with the artists, lining up early to ensure a handshake, a quick hello and possibly a photo. Kilts everywhere Even with the chillier temperatures, fans were wearing far more kilts on Sunday at Knotfest than they were during Ozzfest on Saturday. Patrons checked out on- site vendor PD Kilts and snagged brand new ones to wear throughout the day. Despite the mud and mugginess of the early evening, they wore them proudly, however by nightfall, a few admitted that pants may have actually been the way to go. Metal in the Dark Since Knotfest happened to fall on the rst day aer daylight saving time ended, things got darker earlier. That fact may have slipped the mind of festival organizers, since the side stages didn’t seem rigged for much lighting, which meant that thrash metal band Testament was playing in darkness by the time it took the stage at 5:40 p.m. It also didn’t help that it was an extremely overcast aernoon and the clouds began to hang lower and lower as evening approached. The fans didn’t seem to mind the metal blackout, however, as the band was slightly uplit from the stage, adding to the edginess of the performance.
