Stage Antics
For the intro, Manson was carried onstage on a roman like two wheel car by two naked girls that wear roman helmets. Heavy use of fireworks was still used and Manson's outfit was a resemblene of the one seen in disposable teens.
Manson would wear a Pope outfit for The Love Song, and for Valentine's Day a more intrincate design, a table with 2 severed heads and grapes.
There were 2 dancers onstage during some shows, and a podium returned, with a new design, a crucifix made of guns. 2 Russian like guards would stand one next to each side of it as Manson sang either The Love Song during the show in Moscow.
Manson raised to an enormous height as seen on the disposable teens video, always for Crucí-fiction In Space. Backup images included the holy wood letters looking much like the design of the holywood hills, the cover for the disposable teens single and a flag partially burned.
