"Astonishing Panorama Of The Endtimes" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
Every generation needs an artist who pushes the envelope and stretches the limits of acceptability to the extreme and beyond. Take the rebellious spirit of punk and the shocking theatrics of glam rock and it would only begin to explain Marilyn Manson. The band's short history is steeped in infamy. The rumors, near-riots, banning of concerts, and outrageous stage antics all culminate on THE LAST TOUR ON EARTH, the band's first live album.
Marilyn Manson's version of "Sweet Dreams," which made the band bastard darlings of MTV and radio, gets an explosive reaction from the live audience. Manson's critique of modern-day shallowness comes to life in "The Dope Show." In his introduction before "I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)," Marilyn Manson sounds eerily like Jim Morrison as he describes a previous night's "dream." The most chilling moment of THE LAST TOUR ON EARTH is during "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" as Manson leads the audience in a mantra of, "we hate love, we love hate." Even as protesters demonstrate outside of the concert venue, Manson has the crowd chanting in defiance against them. His fearless resistance against his nay-sayers defines the true essence that makes him a star.
Industry Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...it captures Manson's inimitible talent for spectacle. His evangelist-meets-carny-barker spiels about Gawd, rawk and...cops are hilarious, and the sound quality is appropriately huge....good, dirty fun.
Rolling Stone (12/09/1999)
3 stars out of 5 - ...confirms [Manson] as one of rock's biggest personalities and smartest social commentators. Amid generic industrial metal are some of modern rock's defining anthems...
Q (01/01/2000)
...does a bang-up job of documenting the controlled sound and fury of Manson's dope show. You get solidly played versions of all the hits...some amusingly transgressive stage banter...and the mechanized thrash of one new studio track...
