In the '90s and early 2000s, Marilyn Manson's shock-rock persona made him a lightning rod for criticism. Today, however, he is regarded as a highly respected figure, often compared to Alice Cooper. This comparison is fitting given Manson's flamboyant, aggressive sound, an eclectic blend of industrial, metal, and glam influences, and his theatrical live performances, featuring elaborate costumes, striking light displays, and impressive stage setups.

Manson fittingly toured alongside Cooper on the Masters of Madness Tour, one of many well-matched collaborations in his live career. He also toured with Nine Inch Nails and Rob Zombie. Manson has also graced the stages of major rock festivals like Louder Than Life, Aftershock, Download, and Rock on the Range.
Fan reviews:

Incredible! Manson sounds incredible, you can literally feel how happy and proud he is to be back on stage. He is more present, and in great physical shape, and his voice sounds incredible, best he has sounded in years. It truly is a show you should not miss. His new band kicks ass too, you can tell they're all having the time of their lives up there, and it was wonderful to see.

Everything I expected and more! I went to see Manson, it was everything I wanted to see, just playing the classic's and some of his new songs, only wished it was his concert and nobody else sharing the stage.

Spectacular, amazing, incredible! Manson put in the best show I’ve seen in 20+ years. Absolutely amazing. His energy was incredible and he seems like he genuinely enjoys himself on stage. Thoroughly impressed. Words cannot describe what an incredible performance he put on. The entire band was great too. The legend lives on.

Did the meet and greet with Manson. He was polite, soft spoken and very courteous, well worth meeting this idol of mine. He’s obviously taken his health seriously because his voice and stage presence was strong, powerful and impactful. Best I’ve seen him in quite a few years. The band backing Manson was tight and on point.
