Rams Head Live
I met Maria and Enrique at their place, picked them up and I drove up to Baltimore. We stopped at Burger King in Annapolis along the way for dinner. When we arrived in Baltimore we picked up our tickets from will call and found G waiting in line. He was near the front. After waiting about 15 minutes we were let in. Woman on the left and men on the right. They were patting everyone down and not allowing a lot of items inside including carabiners and change. They let me in with the carrots I had in my purse, but with the agreement I would not throw them. As if!
When we got inside we went to our usual place behind the sound stage which has a really good view of the stage. About 8pm the opening band Ours came on. The band was good, but the lead vocalist was horrible. He sang in a really high voice and just seemed pitchy. Which is a shame because the music was kinda good. The lead singer pants were also super tight. It was just too much information.
Once the opening band left this huge curtain, with MM on it, came down and covered the stage so you could not see any of the preparations for Marilyn Manson. When he came on it was just amazing. He sang so good. He sang a few songs off his new album, Eat Me, Drink Me. They included Eat Me, Drink Me and Heart Shaped Glasses. He also played Beautiful People, Irresponsible Hate Anthem, and Tourniquet. He came out for an encore and closed the show with 1996. It was one of the best shows.
