Last night I was off with Gav down to Brixton Academy to watch Marilyn Manson in the High End of Low European Tour he's busy doing at the moment. I hadn't seen his since his amazing gig at Wembley Arena so was really looking forward to another decent gig by him. I met up with Gav before the gig for a quick beer, then headed over to the academy in time for the main show.

As you can tell, I've stolen the above pictures from another photo gallery, as I didn't take any camera with me, so thank you Marc! Anyway, the gig was a bit disappointing - nothing quite like the last gig and just had no variety or real passion to it. Almost to the point I'd say it was fairly boring to watch. He did play a few classics, like The Love Song, Irresponsible Hate Anthem, Rock Is Dead, Sweet Dream and then finished off with The Beautiful People. I guess he can't always keep playing the same show, but after a few years of not playing in the UK you'd have hoped it would've stepped it up a notch for the show. Maybe next time...
