Featured Review

For starters, I FINALLY saw an entire Trivium set!
This is the 4th time I've been to a show with Trivium in the lineup. Somehow, I always show up 10 minutes before they finish. This time, I caught their entire set and it was tremendous. Crazy dueling guitar solos, vocals both guttural and melodic, thunderous drums, and ball-crushing bass. Trivium was a GREAT start on the main stage.

Next up was Megadeth. Despite being a 40 year-old metal head who goes to LOTS of shows, I had never seen Megadeth before. Dave Mustaine, Dave Ellefson, and company brought the storm as I knew they could. It was great to hear Hangar 18, Wake Up Dead, Symphony of Destruction, and Peace Sells - along with some of their lesser-known tunes. The only detraction from their set was some sound issues that were fixed by the time they finished their second or third song.

Godsmack was up third. I've seen them four times now, and they always kick my ass. They were as crunchy, raw, and powerful as ever. The band was tight through every song, and I was very surprised to see the pyro effects that they brought to a festival show. Sully Erna got behind a second drum kit for a four-handed drum duet as usual. And. . . it rocked as always.

Disturbed finished the show in true head-banging style. They're my 3rd favorite band - only behind Iron Maiden (Up the Irons!!) and Queensryche. My 5th Disturbed show, and it never gets old. The music is always perfect and David Draiman is an absolute master of his vocals.

Rockstar's Mayhem Festival always brings a great show. They outdid themselves this year.

Every single band ripped it up!!! Asking Alexandria followed by As I Lay Dying on the 2nd stage was simply amazing. Anthrax, Motorhead, and Slayer were all great. The GODS that are SLIPKNOT only had 7 of the 9 total members and still were a perfect 10/10.

Greatest festival I have ever been to in my entire life!!! Only downside were the pricey drinks but that's up to the venue.

Never had seen either band, and not as familiar with Slipknot's overall catalog, but was very impressed with each. Marveled at Slayer playing these songs live so tight. Dave Lombardo was incredible.

Too many metal core bands that sound the same with not enough actual metal. Second stage areas tend to be overly rough with little to no pit respect. This year the second stages were not together and was real tough/impossible to enjoy both stages unlike in years past when the stages were right next to each other.

Slipknot definitely carried this show. I have seen them back in 2008 and it was equally as awesome! I enjoyed the entire layout of the venue regardless of it being on the side of a mountain. There was plenty of people, but it was not the same as the Vans Warped Tour. Lucky for us, we didn't get too wet thanks to the rain and the venue having like zero shade. The concert line up this year was off of the hook and I look forward to catching UPROAR for the concert experience :) I highly recommend at least one Mayhem Fest for everyone, regardless if you like the genre or not! Just take some Advil haha

Really enjoyed Mayhem this year, though I only went to see the headliners. Motorhead put on a good show, as did Slayer. But Slipknot really stole it. Their energy was amazing and I didn't stop jumping for almost their entire set.

Show was great all the bands did their best due to the wacky weather. Don't know why everybody complianed about parking from other events we had no problem getting in or out and you didn't have to pay for it either try doing that in NY never going to happen. Slipknot were the best and we were in the pit so had a great view really no bad seat in the house nice and intimate for all. Maybe not the lawn area but P&Cbank art certre in nj is set up the same way but 3 times the size so it was well worth it to come here over that overpriced hole. Would like to come here again that is for sure.

I only went in for the few main stage bands but they are all must see bands live. I have never seen Motorhead or Slayer, which were very impressive sets. Didn't stay for Slipknot because mad rain was heading our way but I've seen them before and they are EPIC live! Those three bands are MUST SEE bands. Lots of parking lot fun kept us from going in on time but still a great time overall meeting new people and enjoying some great metal.

Asking alexandria was awesome. Slipknot was by far the best performance. They bring alot of energy. I missed the first opening band because of waiting in line to get in. I think this is crap. I paid good money to see all the bands.

This show was amazing slipknot was awesome slayer made my ears bleed and motorhead was cool it was nice to see a more classic lineup this year on the main stage also I liked the whole setup outdoors one band would play and then another back on the jagermeister stage. All in all it ran very smooth and the show was awesome like I said earlier and I cant wait till next year.

Main stage performances were awesome. Slipknot and Slayer were unreal (and I'm not even a Slayer fan). Motorhead was good too. As far as the bands on the smaller stages, As I Lay Dying was the only one I thought was worth seeing, although I missed Anthrax due to the downpour (Hartford, CT show).

Crowds flooded in through the gates for the fifth annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival last Sunday in spite of the intermittent thundershowers. We arrived to watch As I Lay Dying and Anthrax when the latter closed out the Jagermeister stage in the late afternoon. Guitarist Scott Ian's riffs and attacks along with Jason Bittner's drumming dovetailed coincidentally with the on/off thunderclaps and lightning bolts.

We took a break for dinner and thus bypassed Asking Alexandria on the main stage. We next watched Motorhead with bassist/singer Lemmy Kilmister, guitarist Phil Campbell and 20-year veteran drummer Mikkey Dee as they delivered their ferocious brand of hard rock fused with punk. Kilmister cracked jokes in between songs while Campbell alternated between punk attacks and more flamboyant soloing. They took a break and handed the stage over to Dee to let loose on an elaborate drum solo. Songs such as "The Chase is Better than the Catch" and "The Ace of Spades" were highlights.

Slayer, consisting of guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, bassist/singer Tom Araya and drummer Dave Lombardo tore through their set with song such as "Raining Blood" and "South of Heaven." King and Hanneman delivered with some dueling guitar solos along the way as well.

Slipknot who, as the announcer said, "is a band that needs no introduction," closed out the night. These stellar musicians from Iowa sporting masks of different types and matching boiler uniforms similar to garage mechanics truly hit the ground/stage running! Corey Taylor's vocals shifted constantly between near-whispers, shouts and melodic singing while Mick Thomson delivered well with squealing guitar riffs complemented by rhythm guitarist Jim Root. They played and sang to a fine backbeat on the part of turntablists Sid Wilson and Craig Jones along with drummer/percussionists Joey Jordison, Shawn "Clown" Crahan and Chris Fehn. At times, Fehn and Crahan would climb on and off their drum kits while the kits were rising and lowering above the stage and alternately bang on oil drums with bats. Toward the end of the night, Joey Jordison's drum set tilted up on end and rotated in a 180. It seemed to be a case of Stomp meets Cirque du Soleil at various moments.

The band paid tribute to and recognised bassist Paul Gray, who passed away two years ago. Stage backdrop was changed to display a large 2 in his honour in reference to the each member being known by a number as well as a name.

Songs played included "Gently," "Wait and Bleed," "Psychosocial" and host of others!
