Look what they took away from the fans at the Marilyn Manson concert.

Security personnel at last night's Marilyn Manson concert in Zagreb's Arena had a busy time checking attendees' belongings before entry. Although the event passed peacefully without incidents, security removed potentially dangerous items such as jewelry, belts, and clothing with sharp metal points. Photos of these confiscated items were published by Jutarnji list. The dark and provocative fashion choices of Manson's fans are well known and have become part of his concert identity. Many female fans stood out with their bold style, wearing creative black outfits, lace, and leather. This was part of Manson's highly anticipated global tour 'One Assassination Under God'.
