On Thursday night, Marilyn Manson played his first show in New York since that time he got crushed by a stage prop, and this time didn't go so well either. He had a meltdown onstage, which involved some sort of scat breakdown, calling New Jersey a "shithole," and knocking over an amplifier before leaving after only a few songs. And last night, Manson played his first show in New Jersey since calling New Jersey a shithole, mooning the crowd and covering Patti Smith's "Rock And Roll Nigger" for the first time since 2009. Watch that below.

Probably not the best choice of songs given that, as Pitchfork reports, comedian and actress Charlyne Yi literally just accused him of making sexist and racist comments towards her. But I guess that's Marilyn Manson.
