Feature Writing – Concert Review

Review on Marilyn Mansons Concert Rock Am recall Marilyn Manson is a band looked up upon by millions of teens in desperation and discontent across the world, a band that empathizes it seems, to their avid fans. Pulling off lush pyrotechnic achievements with a gothic overall outdo in his contrive Rock am Ring, the band consists of Brian Hugh Warner, the lead vocalist, largely know a Marilyn Manson on stage performances, with ever changing background guitarists, drummers, bassists and keyboardists.Manson grew up with never ending ordeals in his life. As a kid, he witnessed the sadomasochism intimate fetishes of his grandfather, forming traumatizing images of disturbance and disgust as he grew up. In his elementary Christian school years, he was taunted and constantly brought to the epitome of shame and embarrassment by people he called friends this episode formed his mindset of the antichrist. Having dwelled in the darkest corners amidst growing up, the memories of Masons past l eft him deranged and helpless(prenominal) with business organization something he never grew out of.Set side by side American icons alike that of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson- ironically alike characters of life, it is a band that reveals the terrible and rough circumstances of life, and very more than so, the pains of growing up and having gravid up. Donned in unfathomed, gothic make up and app bel, Mansons euphony musical genre consists mainly of heavy metal, shock rock, and industrial metal, containing subliminal messages of intoxication, hate, suicide and sexually explicit content like that of sadomasochism and all that alike.Marilyn Mansons performance took impersonate on 1st June 2012, in Nurburgring Ger many an(prenominal). Along with thousands of other avid fans on scene anxiously waiting at the entrance of the concert, I matt-up no less nervous on the impending performance that collect closer with each passing second. Marilyn Mansons appearance, I knew then, would be no less majestic like I have imagined prior to the concert. real enough, it merely took mere seconds before the outburst of cheers and roars throughout the fight with Mansons appearance n stage. Throwing forward the signature rock and roll clear sign- the mass of audience followed suit, in heated worship and fervor. The live performance was like no other and the stage display was nothing less than immaculate. On the main vocals was Marilyn Manson himself, having Twiggy Ramirez on the guitar, Fred Sablan on the bass and Jason Sutter on the drums. The first numbers Hey Cruel World kicked off and I matte the immediate rush of excitement surge through my body.Alike the usual heavy rock concerts, the crowd started head banging to the music as the guitarist introduced the song, moshing in hype of their enjoyment, forming the ring of death , a trademark where people run towards each other in an app arnt attack through the slamming of bodies, eventually running in a circle. Crowd surfing was the run-of-the-mill in every concert, and Mansons concert was no exception.The exhilaration of the halo seeped right through me, and I couldnt help but to yield my hands up, madly jumping to the beats. Delving in on the second song Great Big White World with his raspy voice, the song spoke of individual(a)ism opposing conformity in this chaotic age. As the crowd echoed after the lyrics of the song But Im not accustomed to your world and nothing heals and nothing grows, I immediately felt the square connection from the crowd to his music.The props on stage used by the band helped the focus of the theme of the concert and Mansons artistic visions displayed in the concert pushed the hype to its climax, stretching the limits of onstage music performances having a some songs sung even better than his studio recording. This was a definite media-grabbing generate as Manson brought out the best in his music, proving his fans right of their loyalty. Personally, gro wing up was a process like that of torment, the various events and experiences I had gradually get me in a severe depression something that I never managed to pull myself out of.His lyrics in songs like Coma White and Tourniquet are two songs that outwardly describe the feelings I never found haggling to say. From All the drugs in this world, wont save her from herself to Take your shame out on me, make your victim my head, you never ever accept in me, I am your tourniquet, the former being lyrics in Coma White and the latter from Tourniquet. Being one of the many fans of Marilyn Manson, I find coefficient of correlation in his music to my life.These lyrics depict much of my aloneness and frustration, how my parents never took pride in me- something every child of necessity from their parents. Growing up for me was like an everyday battle, each day only getting tougher and harsher. Though the explicit content portrayed in Mansons music can be considered a blasphemy for many g hostly masses, I believe the lyrics in the music of Mansons concert are a correlation to the many lives of the 21st nose candy, a melodramatic century where the oxymoron of peace and chaos coexist.Each singer and songwriter is only so in due to their emotions and feelings, their past experiences and their learning lessons in life. I believe that music in any form, are lifes most emotional expressions, one where dreams and lifes stories are penned and sung, where pain and happiness is held on to and let go of. Through this concert, I finally understood the true(p) influence of music and its lyrics, how the lyrics of a song can be the correlation to lifes worst tragedies and most blessed moments.Thus, in weightage of the pros and cons of music and its influence, I end with the consensus, that any genre of music can conduct out the deepest unsaid words and emotions of a person, either helping, defining, or ruin a person, all depending on how the written lyrics speak to each indivi dual and how each individual chooses to bring it forward. This review article is intended for the alloy Hammer magazine, as I feel that it would probably be a good addition into the columns of concert reviews and interviews. (Word Count 1029)
