Disturbed kicked ass. from start to finish, the best band on this tour. this was my replacement for ozzfest, and wasn't as good, because it didn't have the real big headliner, thus the 4 stars

this show kicked my ass hardcore. All the bands were great, disturbed and slipknot rocked. Black tide and 5 finger death punch were awsome. Overall I'll give it 5 stars, can't wait for the next one

Disturbed was incredible as expected. The energy level as they came on stage was off the charts and the crowd was pumped. They roused us into a rock frenzy like no other! Interaction with the audience was fantastic, We were enveloped in the music with the band....every single one of us. Definitely going again next year!!

One of the best shows I've ever seen, Disturbed alone was worth the price of admission the energy that they drew from the crowd was incredible!

Although i was second row for DragonForce,Disturbed, and Slipknot, Slipknots set list could have been better. They did even play Wait and Bleed, but at least they played The heretic anthem, before i forget and people=sh*t. Disturbed and Underoath were awesome as expected. Overall i would give it 4.5 stars.

The show was great disturbed was incredible the got the crowd going and awake dave knows how to get a crowd pumped but the kings of the night were by far slipknot i mean how could they not be they had sid in a wheel chair which he left so he could sliter across the stage and hang from shawn and chris drum sets hes fucking nuts

machine head was by far the best band of the day. slipknot put on a killer show. red chord had another stage vs stage wall of death. overall it was a great day. and one more thing corey was not happy at the end of their set, they wanted to play another song, but the venue turned the music on. not cool comcast center, not cool.

Great show. five finger death punch best on side stages. Dragon force was awsome. Crowd did not know what to make of them but were pleased. Guitar playing was best in show overall. Disturbed kiked ass as usual (third time for me). Slipknot knows how to put on a show, very entertaining. I was in the Pit (the old guy 51 with my son) and it was a kikass time.

That was awesome. I like how they worked it out so that there was only like one band playing at a time so that u could see all the bands. but i wish slipknot played longer they really should have. disturbed was really good too. i also liked the motorbikes n stuff. the only annoying thing was that they raped u for ur money when it came to food :P it was a lot of fun though! i wanna try to go to the hartford show in 2 weeks. woooo!

There's really nothing you could say bad about the Mayhem Fest. It was a solid lineup of in your face and mind blowing music. Some notable performances were from Mass's own The Red Chord, Suicide Silence and Machine Head. Of course the top drawers for the show were Dragonforce, Disturbed and Slipknot. Dragonforce put on an amazing show both in energy and sound. Add on the degree of difficulty and technical prowess behind their music and you could say they stole the show. However they were soon outdone by Disturbed. Disturbed had pretty much everyone on their feet singing along. I can't full review Slipknot's performance per the fact I didn't not get to see their entire set but from what I saw they put on an amazing show and their following is possibly one of the most dedicated and energetic I have ever encountered. I hope they can find an equally if not better line up for next year's show.

It's all so dream like I'm only reviewing the parts I clearly remember. Mayhem fest Boston was AWESOME! the mayhem started as soon as The Red Cord took the stage. the moshing also started then. I was trying to get a good pic of the pit when a teenager/young man said he would take the pic for me. My nephew and I (6'4" tall) lifted this guy onto our shoulders and the surrounding crowd went wild. Next was Walls of Jericho. Total insanity! We started way off to one side of the pit and got sucked in. This was one of the best pits I've ever been in. Very hospitable. If you went down there where 3 people there to help you up! when we got spit out the other side we where 3 people from the stage and the lead singer was leaning into the crowd while singing. People where reaching out to touch her. I got a great pic of it. Damn she was hot! The next pit we where in opened up (not sure what band was up) and a big guy got down on all fours just behind the crowd and people where getting a running start and jumping of his back hurling into the crowd like supermen! Next thing I remember was Five Finger Death Count. THIS PIT IS NOT FOR THE TIMID! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! This was a rough pit. we got the shit knocked out of us. But it was still fun. FFDC where great performers And really know how to connect with the crowd. Then Black Tide took the spotlight. I wasn't a big fan of theres until I seen them live. They where really good. As they mature they are going to become great musicians! And a very mild crowd. I got within 2 people from the stage and my wife and daughter where not far behind. Then we headed for the main stage. Mastodon and Dragonforce where O.K. but when they dollied David Draiman out the crowd went nuts! Disturbed made very good use of there time. Then Slipknot took the stage. They where kick ass but I wish they had played longer. If I had to sum this show into a few words they would be UNF**KING BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad that luv2mosh left for the mainstage before seeing machine head--biggest surprise of the night for me....loved those guys! walls of jericho was really good too, and my little brother is in love with candace--she's bad ass!! i always love seeing 5fdp, the pit is always hardcore! mastadon forgot that they were playing a live show--talk to the people man! and dragonforce with their 80s hair and big fans....no, i mean fans, wind blowing through their hair? ugh...could have lived without them. That's when it got insane...disturbed was great, as usual. i got to be in the front for that--thanks to pickrset--but then i sacrificed my tix so my little brother could be in front with my husband because he had never seen slipknot and i have a few times. he had the time of his life while my sister and i enjoyed watching the lawn seat pit--holy sh#t! lawn seat folks are wild!!! all in all the show was incredible-wish slipknot could have played a little longer, but they just keep getting better and better--i'll be seeing them again next time they're in town!!!

This was an amazing show! Disturbed was the best thing I've ever seen at a rock concert and Dragon force's performance was amazing even though the crowd was not quite as pumped as it should have been...

It was the best concert I ever went to. Being in the pit in front row was amazing. Disturbed was the best band there.
