GUNS, GOD AND GOVERNMENT WORLD TOUR

The Guns, God and Government world tour was launched in support of Holy Wood's release. The tour began in October 2000 and ran until September 2001.

This was Marilyn Manson's first tour following the cancellation of his final tour dates supporting Mechanical Animals out of respect to the lives lost at Columbine High School.
Guns, God and Government attracted alot of attention following this and was protested by Christian groups and the general public who feared Marilyn Manson coming to their town following the media frenzy from Columbine.
One of the most talked about shows was Denver, Colorado on June 22, 2001 at Mile High Stadium, Manson's first show in Colorado after the Columbine High School shooting. Manson has talked about events of that day where he recieved multiple death threats, many protests took place to stop him performing. He also recieved calls from family and friends concerned about him performing at this show as the death threats continued through the day. Undercover secruity and police were brought in, everyone was on high alert as Manson took to the stage where he stood his ground and performed his show and luckily without any issue.

Two home media releases were produced by Marilyn Manson from this tour, the original "Guns, God And Government" features a compilation of footage from all over the world cut up into every song showcasing a multitude of elements from the tour. A Blu-Ray release "Live in L.A." was also released some years later which only features the high definition footage shot during a special show in L.A. for production of a tour documentary, the final show of the tour.
