\nRapper Eminem left fans traumatized with his performance at the Bonnaroo music festival Saturday night \u2014 using realistic gunshot sound effects that left some fans running for the exits in the wake of last year\u2019s deadly mass shooting at a Las Vegas festival.
Fans screamed and ducked for cover as the blasts punctuated Eminem\u2019s performance of the 2000 track \u201cKill You\u201d during the hip-hop heavyweight\u2019s headlining gig at the popular annual festival in Tennessee, attendees said.
\u201c[I] was having a good time at Eminem\u2019s set then he played a realistic gunshot noise,\u201d tweeted an attendee with the handle @sandwahhh . \u201c[T]he whole crowd ducked and I\u2019ve never felt more traumatized and ready to panic. completely inappropriate.\u201d
Added @macykatemusic, \u201ccoming from a performing standpoint, I get the effect of sound effects on stage, but there\u2019s a certain point that cross\u2019s [sic] the line.\u201d
\u201c[I]\u2019m one of Eminem\u2019s number 1 fans but to hear 3 gunshots coming straight from his set had me scared af. not gonna lie. especially in this world\u2026\u201d
The frightening effects came as some in the crowd were on edge after last October\u2019s massacre at the Route 91 country music festival in Las Vegas.
In that bloodbath \u2014 the deadliest mass shooting in U. S. history \u2014 gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire with an assault rifle from a hotel room overlooking the festival, killing 58 and wounding over 800 more.
Others were quick to point out that the gunshot sound effect is nothing new at Eminem\u2019s shows.
\u201cThe Kill you outro Gunshot has been part of The Eminem live shows since 2001,\u201d wrote fan account @Mainly Eminem . \u201cWhy all of a sudden is Tennessee getting all cut up about it? The millions of people who have seen em do it haven\u2019t had a problem. You don\u2019t deserve Eminem ffs.\u201d
Eminem \u2014 born Marshall Mathers \u2014 had not addressed the controversy on social media as of Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
