I only saw MM once when they opened for NIN Downward Spiral tour in Oakland. They were good but I wish I would have gone to see AntiChrist & Mechanical tours. A few friends have seen those shows in San Francisco at the Warfield and such. I'm still upset with myself for missing Bowie & Trent on stage together years ago. My friends went. I don't have many regrets in my life but missing shows I know I would have totally loved is one of the few. I recently saw Queensryche & am going to see NIN 9/30 in Oakland. Iz MM coming so Bay Area anytime soon?

I have heard so many good things about his shows... Sometimes I debate whether or not I should spend my next concert ticket money on MM or Rammstein (I KNOW Rammstein puts on a good show, guaranteed) because I've heard that MM's that good live, though I've never seen him. Some of the antics that have been described to me are... incredible.

I have been to some pretty crazy shows... I mean, I'm only 5'5", and I went to a show once where I was shoulder-to-shoulder with big, burly guys the pit was that tight and where it was all I could do to make it to the front within two or three songs. At the same show, I almost got an industrial ripped out of my ear when a crowd-surfer got attached to it, AND I had an elbow in my asthmatic neck for over an hour... In a cast... I'm not sure what the rest of the pit was doing as I made it to the front so quickly, but I know it was wild and bloody.

Needless to say, that was the crowd's doing and the show wasn't much of a theatrical performance like what I've heard would come from MM... So if the crowd's like THAT with a mild performance, I can't wait to be tortured in a MM pit.
