by sean stangland Verge editor

Like it or not, Marilyn Manson is back. When the current king of so-called “shock rock” descended upon St. Louis’ Fox Theatre on Oct. 30, there was a conspicuous absence of danger. Having been to Marilyn Manson shows in the past, I’ve come to expect a throng of protesters, religious zealots and television cam- era crews. This year’s show boasted three people handing out church pamphlets. With Marilyn Manson, half of the fun of going to the show is the feeling that you are doing something naughty, something totally rebellious; that feeling was decidedly absent. The crowd was strangely subdued (at least down where my friends and I were sitting); it was almost as if the seats were filled with people who only had tickets because they won them from a radio station. The true fans were probably stuck in balcony hell. The show itself danced a fine line between arena rock posturing and high theatrics. Manson and company debut- ed seven songs from their Nov. 14 release, “Holy Wood (In the Valley of the Shadow of Death),” amongst a smat- tering of favorites from the back catalog. The band opened the set with “Irresponsible Hate Anthem,” a rather self-explanatory track from 1997’s “Antichrist Superstar” that the band has, in the past, tradi- tionally used as either the opening or closing number of Ladies and gentlemen, everyone’s favorite family entertainer, the Antichrist Superstar! photo courtesy of marilyn-manson.com any given performance.
