Marilyn Manson’s "Don't Answer the Door" at first sounds like a scene straight out of a horror movie or the poetic mind of Edgar Allan Poe, where the subject is trapped inside while voices scream from the outside. But when you look closer at the lyrics, it looks to actually be a song about survival, getting sober, and taking back control of your life. Instead of being a song about hiding in fear, it is about setting hard boundaries. It shows that true power doesn't come from fighting your past mistakes, but from locking them out completely so you can heal. The song starts by setting up a safe space away from the rest of the world: “Unscrew the lightbulbs / In your eyes / Let my darkness inhale you.” Here, Manson is setting up the idea that he is deliberately choosing to take sanctuary in a place of darkness by removing himself from an artificial light. In this darkness, away from all the noise, he can finally listen to his inner voice. This imagery perfectly mirror...
Marilyn Manson will performing at Arizona Bike Week in Scottsdale, Arizona on Saturday, April 5th 2025!
Though Manson had not been previously scheduled for this event which is just a few weeks away, yesterday Arizona Bike Week made the following announcement on their social media pages:
"Five Finger Death Punch had to cancel their performance due to a family matter, but we’re thrilled to announce Marilyn Manson will be taking the stage in the RockYard on Saturday, April 5th!! Saturday ticket holders will be receiving an email regarding this schedule change."
Due to the lineup change, this will be Marilyn Manson's first headliner at a festival since his return to the stage last year.
Regarding the nearly last minute schedule change, Arizona Bike Week producer Lisa Cyr told the Arizona Republic the following:
“It’s been a little crazy, obviously. A lot of scrambling. But we’re pretty excited with the way it all turned out. Marilyn Manson, I hear that his last few tours have been just incredible.
We sent out an email to all of our Saturday ticket holders instructing them on how to request a refund, and we haven’t had a ton of requests. A few people, but a lot of people are just as excited about Marilyn Manson. But yeah, we are giving full refunds to those who request them.
Our tickets are just like everybody else’s. The terms are ‘no refunds’ and ‘subject to artist change,’ but we’re not gonna enforce that in this case. We want our customers to be happy and to get what they paid for. So we are honoring refunds for people who request them.”
Last summer, Five Finger Death Punch completed a headlining U.S. tour with support from Marilyn Manson and Slaughter to Prevail. The tour kicked off on August 2, 2024 in Hershey, Pennsylvania and ran through September 19, 2024 when it concluded in Houston, Texas.
