Marilyn Manson in accident onstage

[Sits]

Climbed on a scaffolding prop and it fell onto him.

Unless that article's been updated his condition isn't yet known.

"He's looking very pale."

How many more times, America, guns are dangerous...

[G-Man]

And the band kept playing....

[Snake Plissken]

The second worst live act I've ever seen. But only because I've seen Nickelback.

[Jah Womble]

Jesus wept - that prop looked like something that even Spinal Tap would've rejected.

Bet he wishes he'd stuck to the prosthetic breasts now.

When did you see him? He had an excellent live show in the latter half of the nineties and the first couple of years of the noughties but did jump the shark after that.

"He's looking very pale.".

I sincerely hope he's okay, but actual lolz there.

[3 Colours Red]

But only because I've seen Nickelback.

You poor, poor man.

[Jah Womble]

Quite. I struggle to believe that anybody would do that through choice.

Five years ago, co-headlining (yeah, right) with Rob Zombie. The latter seems to have half of Manson's band with him which must have made for an odd dynamic. Anyway, Manson couldn't have phoned it on much more if he had simply sat backstage on a Nokia. He put so little effort into singing "Sweet Dreams" (the crowd took over after the first couple of lines) that my first reaction to him having this accident during the song was "well, at least he was making some sort of effort".

As for Nickelback, I still think "Silver Side Up" is a decent bounce around rocker of an album. The Apollo was packed, everyone was up for it and then they came on and midway through the first song everyone stopped jumping around and started looking at each other with looks of "It's not just me, is it? Oh thank God, it's not just me." I've never, ever seen a band that were so completely oblivious to the fact that they have reverse charisma on stage. I mean, I've seen These Animal Men and at least they got a reaction from me. Mainly wanting to get up on stage and punch their bass player, but at least it was a reaction.
