context_page_description: The Dead to the World Tour was a worldwide concert tour by the American rock band Marilyn Manson. Staged in support of their 1996 album Antichrist Superstar, the tour visited theaters, nightclubs, arenas and stadiums from 1996 to 1997. The Dead to the World Tour was the band's fifth tour, counting their early independent touring and their supporting roles for Nine Inch Nails' Self Destruct Tour and Danzig's Danzig 4p Tour. It is also their first tour to span over several legs, eight in total, that alternated between multiple venues both in North America and internationally.
  The band was on the tour from September 5, 1996 until September 16, 1997, playing a total of 175 shows throughout Europe, Japan, Oceania, and North and South America.
context_section_description: Controversy finally followed the band outside of the United States. By now a globally recognized household name, a group of 400 Welsh Christians unsuccessfully tried to put a stop to the band's May 19 concert at the Newport Civic Centre. Having failed that, the group picketed the band's concert. The group was organized by a local Welsh pastor named Ray Bevan, who is the father of 60 Ft. Dolls drummer Carl Bevan.
  The remix sessions for Rasputina's song "Transylvanian Concubine" concluded by the latter half of May. It was reported that Manson and Ramirez completed three versions of the track. One of the versions was made available on May 21 as a free downloadable preview, in RealAudio format, on Rasputina's website. A week later, it was reported that all three versions would be made available in an EP titled Transylvanian Regurgitations due in mid-June.
  Snoop Dogg met again with Manson during their Paris stop on May 29 at Le Bataclan. Manson recounted in his tour diary how Snoop Dogg, who was still on tour, reaffirmed his interest to work together on a project "and something involving marijuana." Despite this, the rap rock collaboration remix of "The Beautiful People" never materialized.
  After their Milan performance, the band took time off the tour and headed to a New York studio again. This time with British trip hop band Sneaker Pimps to begin the recording process on "Long Hard Road Out of Hell". Both groups were chosen to collaborate on a song for the "metal meets electronica" soundtrack of the 1997 motion picture Spawn.
