Look people hands down!!!....Five Finger Death Punch was the best band there.I was in the mosh pit and body surf it ws a brutal mosh Hands down...I wouldnt say this was one of the best shows ever either...i mean ozzfest 99 was the greatest when slayer, rob zombie etc.now that was a great show...but most of all seeing pantera there wasnt a better show then them ...remember if it isnt metal it's crap!

Overall great package show. I really like the idea of the offset of band preformaces, it helps you keep moving rather then standing in one spot the whole time (and helps with merch as well) the only thing I wish was more noticed was the big air stints that the motocross riders were doing inbetween sets.

Not one band disappoint, full on metal and great crowds and the girls there were really hot, much betta than past package shows through there were the age limit was alot (alot) older.

Thanks alot for putting on this show and having it run through Burgettstown(Pittsburgh). Keep it up and you'll def get a insane crowd.



Anyone going to Priest on 8/16?

UNBELIEVABLE!!! It was great, i'm still pumped about it a day later. All of the bands that played were great! I plan on doing it next year if it goes again next year. I've told all of my friends about it and they want do go now too! It was all so great, all of the people were cool about everything. The bands were awesome and so were the crowds, i just don't have words enough to express how awesome it all was. Slipknot was definetly the icing on top of the cake, they were so ba and hilarious. Can't wait for next year!

I loved every minute of it!!!! I think i broke my heals like the DJ from slipknot..Im still recovering!!! UNDEROATH was my Favorite..They along with all the bands took time to meet the fans and I got tons of shit signed along with alot of pics!! Slipknot did impress me..36 Crazyfists couldnt have done better!!!! I really enjoyed it and cant wait till next year. Thanks everyone who attended and making it happen...

The show was absolutely amazing. 5FDP outdid every expectation I had for them. I'm a fan for life. Worth the broken toe from the pit and other people's blood on me...

Disturbed was amazing (David's voice is spectacular live!) and Slipknot was, of course, great. This tour was a great idea and I cannot wait if it comes through again next year!!

Entire show was well done, well organized and well orchestrated. Walls of Jericho was unbelievable. Red chord was the only downfall to the entire day. And Walls of Jericho stole RedChord's wall of death. Hah!
Disturbed, Dragonforce, and Slipknot was amazing as usual. Happy Birthday Candace, How's the cake!

At 36 years old and a hardcore metal fan I can tell you this was the most incredible show from start to finish I have ever seen. If you could not find your style of metal in this festival, then you had to be passed out drunk.... Was at Projekt Rev 2007, and there was no comparison to the energy felt all day long... Did get a sprained ankle from some drunkass rolling down the hill next to the porta potties on top of the hill, but I did not let that stop me from rockin all day and all night long... This was the first time I have ever seen Disturbed or Slipknot... My GOD... that was some crazy shit... Great facility also... Everything was close.. no long waits in lines... even the beer lines went quick. Oh yeah the upgrade on the tickets was just icing on the cake... Thanks PickRSet and Rockstar!!!

I was completely blown away by this festival. Not because of the bands or the venue, but because of the complete organization of this show. Every band came on stage on time or early, and the setup with both the Jager and Hot Topic stages right next to each other was quite an inspired idea. No running halfway across the venue to try and catch half of each band's set. Even the security was the best I've ever seen. Now onto the bands. 5FDP was amazing, and I have to give them a special thanks for the personalized autographs for my bro who's about to go to Iraq. Many abundant thanks for hooking him up so well. Dragonforce was so good my bass-playing buddy actually said he needs to go back to musician school because of them, and of course Disturbed and Slipknot did not disappoint (big surprise there). I for one hope that this is a continuing thing and that Rockstar hosts a festival every year, especially since Ozzfest has gone downhill in the last couple years. Rockstar, keep it up and you will rule the summer!

Pittsburgh kicked ass!!!! There was 13 bands giving the best to us and we returned the Favor!!! The security was a joke really someone in our group had chains on their pants and they had them take the chains off and put it in their pocket!! Machine Head had some of the wildest mosh pitts ever!! Disturbed had such a charisma with the crowd that we all wished it would of lasted so much longer!! Dragon Force put it to the crowd to get them revved up he even ran around the pavilion. Suicide Silence was brutal not to mention Walls of Jericho played the best birthday show ever!!!Black Tide moved the young females to show their tits! Airborne brought a classic flavor to the mix!!5 finger death punch pretty much said it all, WHITE KNUCKLES. Underoath sure wasn't understated, they added a keyboard fueled chaos! Mastadon played with mathematical precision.

SLIPKNOT RIPPED MY FACE OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So please lets do another Mayhem Festival with a bigger line up so we can kill the whole week instead of just one day!!!
