Compared to the band 's previous tours , the show was stripped back and contained fewer theatrics . The stage set would typically be decorated to resemble a church , with two large stained glass window panels placed on either side of the stage , while numerous stage props would be emblazoned with the Cross of Lorraine . During performances of " Personal Jesus " or " Antichrist Superstar " , a white pulpit would be introduced , from where Manson would burn a book of scripture . For performances of " Killing Strangers " , Manson would brandish a knife-shaped microphone , which he would use to repeatedly stab a tambourine . For encores , a falling ash effect was used on stage , similar to the effect used during the Rock Is Dead Tour in 1998 . Following the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris and the cancellation of the band 's subsequent performance at Le Zénith , the stage was illuminated with the French tricolor for the remainder of the tour
