Marilyn Manson got crushed by stage props, rushed to hospital - Sensationalist Headlines

to play devil's advocate, as a performer you really shouldn't be climbing random bits of stage without clearing it beforehand. Manson probably decided to climb that prop on a whim and unfortunately it collapsed onto him. Admittedly, the prop really should've been weighed down or ratchet strapped or something - almost all set really should be secured, so it's a failure on both parts. Either way, someone's g fired.

From the title, I was expecting some Final Destination-type shit. Glad he wasn't hurt too bad.

Nothing can kill the god of fuck

Like this: [thumb]http://www.agiprodj.com/images/global-truss_base_plate_20x20a_20-inch_by_20-inch_aluminum_baseplate.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://3.imimg.com/data3/KR/OV/MY-6096259/truss-base-plate-250x250.jpg[/thumb] It's likely it was never planned to take the weight of someone pulling on it from one side, the scaf bars + props probably don't weigh too much so the square base would've been fine with no stability issues up until that point. Manson has a past history of not making his crews life easy, [URL="https://youtu.be/Q18eYQqaK_U"]such as going over to his FOH desk and pushing it as loud as it can go[/URL] so it is a bit surprising that it wasn't sandbagged or plated crucifix style. At a guess, Manson is likely a proper stickler for stage appearance and doesn't want anything outside of his stiff aesthetic around and the crucifix plate would probably be a trip hazard as well. You can't really weld truss either, as you'd have to unweld it every night which would significantly effect the load bearing capabilities of it.

[QUOTE=Sableye;52734697]maybe god likes marylin manson's albums too.[/QUOTE] I'm religious enough that I don't feel comfortable ~taking the lord's name in vain~ and whatnot, but I will jam right the fuck out to some Arma-goddamn-motherfucking-geddon any day of the week, tbh.

[QUOTE]"On Saturday night, the legendary performer suffered an injury on stage towards the end of his set at NYC's Hammerstein Ballroom causing him to cut the show short. He was treated for the injury at a local hospital and will be recuperating at home in Los Angeles." Manson's rep added, "The shows from Boston, October 2 through Houston, October 14 will be rescheduled for a later date. Manson hopes to return to the stage soon, more details on upcoming shows to follow."[/QUOTE] [url=https://pitchfork.com/news/marilyn-manson-cancels-tour-dates-after-onstage-injury/]Source[/url] Damn, Guess I won't have much of a reason to leave class early tomorrow to head down to Boston in that case...I think this is one of the first times I've had to deal with a canceled show.

[QUOTE=c:;52734372]a human was injured. can you not make this all about your religious aversion?[/QUOTE] You sound like a fucking Terminator, mate.

Glad Manson is gonna be fine. I like his one rendition of "This is Halloween." [QUOTE=postal;52734256]Damn that was fucked. Also good god someone just slap the idiot at 2:30 going "C'MON DON'T BE A PUSSY!!! PUSSY!!!!" [editline]1st October 2017[/editline] slap him with a giant gun[/QUOTE] If someone is slapped with a giant carboard gun does it count as "assault & battery" or "small arms fire?"
