My first proper gig, that wasn't a bunch of unsigned bands playing in the local pub was Marilyn Manson at Nottingham Rock City on his Antichrist Superstar tour with Pist.on supporting. I was only 17 and very drunk at the time, I had never been in a moshpit before. They kicked into the first song, everyone in the crowd started bouncing and I went down taking many people with me. I must have annoyed so many people that night.
Pist.on were very good and I became a fan of the band on that night. Marilyn Manson on the other hand were slightly disappointing. For all the stories and folklore that followed him around, it was all a bit tame. He was better when I saw him at Download '03 when he had his full stage show.
