Kind of a shitty review...but whatever. I had fun...got my money's worth. Got a girl's Mayhem tank top.
Mayhem Camden July 23rd Review
First off, I woke up at 9:30ish and it was already over 90 degrees. Holy hell, it was hot. So, I went with a group of unexperieced concert goers (minus my brother because I drag him to everything so he knew what to expect), my friend Lauren was dumb and wore heels and we didn't get there till 1/2 was through Norma Jean since we were hunting for cheap parking.
Norma Jean - First band of the day. I was disappointed that we got there 1/2 way through, but the few songs I knew were pretty good. I hung in the back for them. 6/10
Beyond the Scar - Local band that has played Mayhem before. Went to get drinks during their set and dipped under the hoses. ?/10...Hoses: 11480247/10
Winds of Plague - They got the crowd riled up. My 2nd time seeing them. They did not disappoint. Though I may not be a fan persay, pretty damn good. 6.5/10
Shadows Fall - Mother fucking Amazing. I love these guys live. I crowd surfed 3 times. Fucking killer. 8/10 King of Nothing War Thoughts Without Words Still I Rise The Power of I and I Bark At The Moon (Ozzy Osbourne cover) The Light That Blinds
3 Inches of Blood - Skipped them because the craziness of Shadows Fall dehydrated me. ?/10
CHIMAIRA - I've been trying to see these guys for years. I wish they had a longer set. Mark Hunter's vocals were great, they were all spot on. 8/10 Black Heart Pleasure In Pain Power Trip Secrets Of The Dead Resurrection Pure Hatred
Atreyu - They were originally billed to close out the second stages, but for some reason they were bumped up earlier, which made me happy so I didn't miss any of them. Brandon Saller looks dumb with his head shaved, but that didn't impaire his singing. My 4 or 5 time seeing them, can't remember, but they were great, but I've seen them do MUCH better. 7/10 Bleeding Mascara Becoming the Bull Gallows Right Side of the Bed You Give Love a Bad Name (Bon Jovi cover) Someone's Standing on My Chest Ex's and Oh's Lip Gloss and Black
Hatebreed - Went to get hydrated and dip in the hose again. Don't like them anyway. ?/10
In This Moment - Went to fight for my spot in the pit for the mainstage...so I skipped them. Didn't give a shit about them anyway. ?/10
Five Finger Death Punch - I may not go out of my way to listen to them on CD, but they are fucking awesome live. Definitely got the pit moving. 7/10. (not in order) Burn it Down Salvation No One Gets Left Behind Bad Company (Bad Company cover) The Way of the Fist Never Enough The Bleeding
Lamb of God - They are so much better as a headliner. The pit got crazy, but not Lamb of God-worthy crazy. Bit disappointed, but still enjoyed them. 7/10 The Passing In Your Words Set to Fail Walk With Me In Hell Now You've Got Something To Die For Laid to Rest Redneck Black Label
Rob Zombie - My 3rd time seeing Mr. Zombie and he never fails to bedazzle me. I wont go into detail because I'm still tired from it, but Rob Zombie coaxed John 5 into smashing his guitar. Hah! It was great. Pit was full of dancing. :)Fucking great stage set up....didn't expect anything less. 11/10 What Lurks on Channel X? Superbeast Scum of the Earth Living Dead Girl More Human Than Human Sick Bubble-Gum House of 1000 Corpses Never Gonna Stop (The Red, Red Kroovy) Mars Needs Women Thunder Kiss '65 ----encore---- Dragula
Korn - This was my first time seeing Korn and they were definitely tight and great. The pit was jostling around and getting into every fucking song. I loved it. I caught Fieldy's pick. 10/10 Right Now Twist Here to Stay Did My Time Oildale (Leave Me Alone) Falling Away From Me Somebody Someone Let the Guilt Go Freak on a Leash Blind Shoots and Ladders / One Clown Got the Life
