The Last Tour On Earth was the band’s first full length live album, recorded from the tour for Mechanical Animals. A tour de force of recording, delivering a crisp rounded sound to some of the best tracks from the band’s past works to date and promotion for glam album Mechanical Animals, the album features guitarist John 5 who took over from Zim Zum for this tour and is credited as live guitarist. The album also features one studo piece – Astonishing Panarama of the Endtimes, a reworking of a discarded Antichrist Superstar track, but one that allowed John 5 to put his first writting credit down with the band.
Review: Review by Feomante.com
THE LAST TOUR ON EARTH, though a collection of previously released music, is never the less, probably MARILYN MANSON’s best album yet. Its incredible to think that, after 10 years, MM just seem to get stronger and better, not worse. It is also amazing that, after all this time there are still some folks that still do not get it. Of course, it HAS been my personal experience that most of them never even hear the music or listen to the words. They back away from the album covers and are content to dislike (or in some cases even Hate) MARILYN MANSON simply because they saw a show on TV that told them to do just that. It is ironic, laughable, and pathetic, all at the same time, that these Hate By Dictate people are the same benighted evil that MARILYN MANSON is trying to warn their children about.
Do you own the deluxe edition with 2 discs?
Yes I do – I am currently photographing the Mechanical Animals and Last Tour on Earth items at the moment. These will be on the site by sunday evening (hopefully)
