Amid controversy since Marilyn Manson announced he would be performing a free concert in San Luis Potosi, Mexico at the National Fair (FENAPO), the day finally came for him to perform on Sunday, August 10th. A staggering 205,000 people gathered to enjoy the performance, the largest amount of people in the history of FENAPO, which is known as the most traditional fair in Mexico. This includes the total of 400,000 people throughout the fair, many of which were unable to enter the venue. It is reported also that hundreds of buses and dozens of tourist vans came from all over Mexico that day to be at the fair. And Governor Cardona reported on August 21st: " With Marilyn Manson, we had the airport packed, all the flights from the United States—Houston, San Antonio, Dallas—all the flights full of people who came from the United States to see the artist, got to know San Luis PotosÃ, and fell in love with San Luis PotosÃ.” As previously reported , on June 15th the Archbishop of San Luis ...
Earlier this year we saw Falling in Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke and Marilyn Manson together in photos at Manson's birthday party then on a separate occasion in Radke's home, which led to rumors that they may be collaborating on a new song. Today that new song, "God is a Weapon", was released to streaming services everywhere along with an accompanying music video through Radke's label Epitaph Records.
The song is an instant classic power ballad for the frontmen, which revolves around the line "If God is a woman, then God is a weapon." In the cinematic black and white music video God is played by Radke's girlfriend, frontwoman Dana Dentata. At the end of the video Radke and Dentata share an explosively wet kiss. Aspects of the song and video also seem to be reminiscent of the Mechanical Animals era for Manson.
With the music video, Falling in Reverse also announced their God Is a Weapon tour which kicks off this August.

"God is a Weapon" Lyrics
I can't stop from spinning
Down the rabbit hole
The deeper that you push
The deeper I will go
They said that God's a woman
I’ll worship you the same
Cause all I do is think about
Saying your name in vain
You might as well marry me
My sinful confession
You're my obsession (yeah)
If God is a woman
Then God is a weapon (yeah)
I can't stop from sinning
My halo's just a hole
The deeper that I get inside you
The deeper you will fall
They Say that God's a weapon
Well I'm a hand grenade
Try to take this ring from me
Watch me detonate
You might as well bury me
My sinful confession
You’re my obsession (yeah)
If God is a woman
Then God is a weapon
(Yeah)
My Sinful Confession
You’re my obsession
If God is a woman
Then God is a weapon
