Editorial Reviews

Is a Marilyn Manson studio album like thunder without lightning? The name Manson is synonymous with stage theatrics, and studio albums aren't designed to capture such flashing, ephemeral excitement. That being the case, a live Marilyn Manson album is one step up from a studio disc and one notch down from a concert. This powerful 14-song, 70-minute set actually ends with one studio track, "Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes" (also on the Celebrity Deathmatch album). Featuring such Manson concert favorites as "The Beautiful People," "The Dope Show," and the band's breakthrough cover of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams," The Last Tour on Earth is incendiary, expletive-strewn, and darkly irresistible. Manson is a commanding performer, though not one for the young or upright, as he spews on about LSD and sex with cops, performs "Antichrist Superstar," and has the audience chanting "We hate love, we love hate!" prior to a particularly raucous rendition of "Irresponsible Hate Anthem." That said, The Last Tour on Earth is an exhilarating outing from one of the '90s' boldest personalities. --Katherine Turman

MANSON.......2007-03-26

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT LIVE CD WITH EXCELLENT SOUND!YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ALL HIS MUSIC,ALL HIS WORDS,AND ALL HIS SPEECHES PERFECTLY.THE WHOLE CD IS CLEAR-IT CAN'T GET ANY CLEARER.IF YOU'RE INTO LIVE MUSIC-DEFINITELY BUY THIS CD!

good Manson CD, but was lacking..........2007-02-27

I am a huge fan of Manson back before he sold out and just about died off......This was a alright CD for a live album, but he used the same stories apparently on every time of doing a live show. If you like Manson, or just want to hear more of his music in general for any reason, go with "Portrait of an American Family" or "Antichrist Superstar", and even Mechanical Animals wasn't too bad

Marilyn Manson: THE LAST TOUR ON EARTH (1999).......2006-09-16

In 1999, Marilyn Manson went on his next tour which was appropriately entitled, THE LAST TOUR ON EARTH TOUR, named after the track "The Last Day On Earth", from his 1998 album MECHANICAL ANIMALS, in which his 1999 world tour promoted.. But Marilyn Manson didn't stop there, for in the same year, Marilyn Manson released his sixth album entitled, THE LAST TOUR ON EARTH, a live album featuring fourteen tracks, where the first thirteen are live performances from the tour. Each song is taken from many of Marilyn's performances from different concerts on the tour. The final track is a new track that was later featured on the CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH soundtrack, as one of the shows theme songs.

INAUGURATION OF THE MECHANICAL CHRIST
A great introduction.

THE REFLECTING GOD
Original version from the album ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR (1996). A great live performance. This song rocks.

GREAT BIG WHITE WORLD
Original version from the album MECHANICAL ANIMALS (1998). This is a great song, but it was never one of my all-time favorites.

GET YOUR GUNN
Original version from the album PORTRAIT OF AN AMERICAN FAMILY (1994). Performing a song from the album that started it all. Great song.

SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS)/HELL OUTRO
Original version of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This" from the album SMELLS LIKE CHILDREN (1995). This is a great performance, whereas the "Hell Outro" fits into the ending of the song perfectly.

ROCK IS DEAD
Original version from the album MECHANICAL ANIMALS (1998). Also from the original motion picture & motion picture soundtrack THE MATRIX (1998). This is such a classic Manson song. I could listen to this song or this live performance over and over again.

THE DOPE SHOW
Original version from the album MECHANICAL ANIMALS (1998). Great live performance.

LUNCHBOX
Original version from the album PORTRAIT OF AN AMERICAN FAMILY (1994). A great song, to which, I have to say: "Next Motherf***er's Gonna Get My Metal"!!!!

I DON'T LIKE THE DRUGS (BUT THE DRUGS LIKE ME)
Original version from the album MECHANICAL ANIMALS (1998). Great song. I had heard that for the studio version of this song, Marilyn Manson had to be "High" in order to get the right vocal and feel for this song. This is only what I've heard, so I can't verify if it's true or not.

ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR
Original version from the album ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR (1996). Great song.

THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
Original version from the album ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR (1996). Although this is one of my favorite songs, I wasn't really too impressed with this live performance.

IRRESPONSIBLE HATE ANTHEM
Original version from the album ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR (1996). Great performance.

THE LAST DAY ON EARTH
Original version from the album MECHANICAL ANIMALS (1998). Great performance.

ASTONISHING PANORAMA OF THE ENDTIMES
New Studio Track. Also from the original television series & soundtrack CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH (2000). The first & only single from the album released in 2000. This is the track that was also featured on the soundtrack and television series CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH were claymations of celebrities fight each other. Marilyn Manson was featured twice on Celebrity Deathmatch. First he was in Death Bowl '98 where he fought Charles Manson (coincidentally, Charles Manson's last name is how Marilyn Manson received his last name). The match ended with Marilyn Manson as the winner, where he killed Charles Manson by performing the Tehishan Skull Grip. He appeared later in the episode, by killing off the fighters of the last match. The last match was Spice Girls vs. Hanson. He killed off Spice Girls and Hanson by appearing on the ceiling of the arena, where he used a chainsaw to cut off the ringlights, where the ringlights fell and crushed Hanson and Spice Girls. Marilyn then appeared in another episode in 2000, where he fought country artist Garth Brooks. Manson won again, by taking Garth Brooks' guitar and using it to cut off Garth's skull cap. At that time, Hanson appeared in the same spot as Manson did before and tried to crush Manson with the ringlights, but little Zack Hanson couldn't contril the chainsaw, for it went out of control and killed all three of members of that stupid band. The video for this track featured Manson and his band in Celebrity Deathmatch Claymation form. A great song to close out his live CD.

A worthy complement to Manson's studio work.......2006-06-30

If you are a Manson fan and have not experienced the band live this is a very smart buy. It provides a 1st-hand account of the main artist's larger-than-life and no-holds-barred behavior that wonderfully complements the misanthropy and anarchistic visions of his studio work. Ad libs of the traditional song lyrics, thunderous cheers and chanting from the live crowd, and darkly humorous intros like the "I had a dream last night" skit pull this whole thing together. It's the next best thing to being there, and it's cheaper.

(2.5 stars) Only diehard fans need apply.......2006-04-17

When I saw Marilyn Manson in concert, I was not very impressed. Nevertheless, I picked this album up, expecting great things (it is Manson, after all!) But, unfortunately, these songs don't do much to persuade me about his live show, either.

"The Last Tour On Earth" was recorded in Cleveland (perhaps) and Grand Rapids, Michigan, when Manson was on tour in support of his then latest release, 1998's "Mechanical Animals." But Manson probably would have been better to wait a few years, until after "Holy Wood" was released, because then he could have played some tunes (i.e. "The Fight Song") which were sure to get the mosh-pit swirling. But, as it is, most of this disc isn't all that exhilarating or even entertaining. The songs range from un-hooky ("The Reflecting God") to flat ("Great Big White World") to forgettable ("Lunchbox") to unspectacular ("Sweet Dreams/Hell Outro") to, well, boring ("Get Your Gunn"). Even track twelve, "Irresponsible Hate Anthem," fails to stir up much excitement.

"The Last Tour On Earth" isn't a complete throw-away, however, as there are some bright spots. "Rock Is Dead" has explosive choruses, making it probably the most irresistibly catchy song on here, and "Antichrist Superstar," and "The Beautiful People" are both finely executed, though the latter sounds somewhat rushed.

Next, there are a few OK tracks. The very creepy and ominous introductory song, "Inauguration Of The Mechanical Christ," "The Dope Show" (which is worth mentioning just for the mid-song interlude where Manson sends "a greeting" to the police), and "The Last Day On Earth" are all decent, but far from great.

The last live song worth mentioning on here is "I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)." This song is somewhat hooky, but it's utterly ruined by a ridiculously moronic and overly drawn-out intro where Manson tells the crowd (who cheer after every sentence) about a dream he had where drugs became God. He also informs us that, in his dream, the police pulled him over but didn't arrest him; instead they did something obscene to Manson (something which I'm sure Amazon won't let me post, here.)

The very last song, track fourteen, "Astonishing Panorama Of The Endtimes," is a pretty good song/b-side. Some hardcore fans may want to buy this album just to get this song.

With all that said, be careful what you buy. This C.D. is far from being great, but it isn't terrible, either. Thus, it's only recommended to hardcore fans. And for everybody else, "The Last Tour On Earth" serves a purpose; it reminds us that Marilyn Manson sounds awesome...in the studio.
