Kazakhstan metal fest: Marilyn Manson

Kazakhstan is a massive country in Central Asia made infamous by Borat (Sascha Baron Cohen). It was once a Silk Route Buddhist country along Silk Road transmission of Buddhism. Islam conquered it, and Western hegemony followed. Now it has metal and modern music festivals, hiring self-proclaimed "drug addict" Marilyn Manson, one the smartest man in alt rock before being destroyed by drugs or bad judgment in general. He has faced criminal sexual allegations and still doesn't seem to reign it in.
