Hey everybody,
The lineup for this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival was JUST announced. You can find it at this link: http://rockstarmayhemfest.com/blog/id/1845225
I think it is a pretty solid lineup. It is going to be heavy as all hell, something the past couple years has not fully fulfilled. I love my heavy metal, so it’s good to see there’s no Godsmack this year. I like some Godsmack, but last year just was not as fun and heavy as Mayhem Fest is supposed to be.
I will spare you my rant about how last year sucked, but let’s just say 30+ year old, drunken Godsmack fans with bald heads and sunglasses sometimes like to pick on younger audience members at a concert.
Anyway, I really enjoy this year’s lineup. Slipknot and Slayer have both previously been there. I missed the first Mayhem Fest ever in 2008, which is the one Slipknot headlined prior to this year. However, I have been told by many people that Slipknot is definitely worth seeing and that they put on a great live show. I will be looking forward to that. I wonder how they will be without Paul Gray (their late bassist who passed away in 2010), though.
Slayer was awesome in 2009, which was my first Mayhem Fest ever. I have gone each year since and enjoyed each year for the most part. I plan to keep the streak going after seeing this lineup!
I mean, Slipknot, Slayer, As I Lay Dying, AND Anthrax?!?! Hell yeah! It’s going to be awesome! METAL! \m/
