-Meltdown-

The Freaks On Parade tour touched down at Pine Knob Last night. Filter opened up the show, followed by Ministry, Alice Cooper then Rob Zombie.

When I asked you guys what you thought of the show, the answers varied.

Gena Brown said - It was typical.. they are both consummate showmen who rarely disappoint. By comparison it was WAY better than the Manson/Zombie playground quarrel a few years back. PS: WCW Nita Strauss is a goddess. - That, she is!

Timothy Cheek - They rocked the house.

Jessica Gonzalez - I had fun but that was basically the same show he (Rob Zombie) did for Riff Fest.

Jean Borys Gannon said - Loved Filter. Had no expectations, so that was great. Ministry sounded great but weren't entertaining to me. I loved Alice, as always, and was very pleasantly surprised. Overall, two thumbs up.

Bobbie Browning - Best Show ever!

Jim Hatswell piped in - It was outstanding from start to finish.

Lynzee Burnham - This was the best show ever!!! Two of my favorite bands/artists!!!

RJ Day had this to say - Loved Ministry, Loved Alice, but that was my least favorite RZ show ever, and not just because of the obvious absence of J5. The whole dynamic was different. A Zombie show is its own vibe, and that vibe was missing last night.

Matt McNett agreed - Zombie was decent- woulda been way better with John 5. Alice Cooper rocked!

Over on 'X', Nate said - I love both Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper, but Alice should have been the headliner.

Dave agreed with Nate - Every time I've seen Alice Cooper I think man, this guy should've been the headliner.
