It's a package tour, what do you expect?

Yeah for the most part, the setlists being played are disappointing for me. However, I'm a big fan of about 7 of the bands, so I'm still really excited for the Mansfield show.

My biggest complain other than Megadeth's setlist (really?) being God awful, is Machine only playing 4 songs. As some people already said, play some shorter songs, seriously.

For those of you who have already been to your respective Mayhem Fest date, what is the general consensus so far for each band's performance?

I love suicide silence...

Mountain View CA

Straight Line Stitch - 2/5
Red Fang - 4/5
All Shall Perish - 4/5
Kingdom Of Sorrow - 3/5
Suicide Silence - 3/5
Unearth - 4/5
Testament - 5/5
Trivium - 3/5
Machine Head - 4/5
Megadeth - 5/5
Godsmack - 2/5
Disturbed - 1/5

The high score for Megadeth doesn't take into account the shortness of the set.

Machine Head played 5 songs in Mountain View. Also, all the bands I cared about had good setlits, minus Megadeth , so I'm happy. And even if they didn't have a good setlist, they played really well.

This tour has 2 types of fans.

You're either a MH or MD fan
or GS, DISTURBED fan.
You're either gonna rate your fan bands high
The bands you hate low.
There for personal opinions / reviews are pointless.

You pay to go see an all day music festival (an ozzfest substitute).
You can have fun, see the bands you want and leave, or watch the
bands you hate, and then talk shit about them the next day lol.

Happens every year =)

I am actually content with most of the setlists (Disturbed being the exception, but I don't like them that much anymore.) I am stoked for next Friday's show in Mansfield, I have been waiting to see Megadeth for so long and seeing Unearth,Machine Head,All Shall Perish,Kingdom Of Sorrow, and In Flames again is going to be awesome (Red Fang is pretty good too, I am excited to see them for the first time as well.)
