Staind and Godsmack

I had a great time when i went to see Staind at the Ford Center! I saw Staind for the 6th time and they were amazing as usual! i also got to see Brookroyal, Halestorm, and Godsmack.. The opening acts set the stage and got the crowd going for staind and godsmack. they came out and ripped the roof off the place. i cant wait till my next Staind concert!

The set list was awesome even the small timers brookroyal and Halestorm kicked a@# Aaron Lewis did country boy by himself godsmack had a drum-off. Best concert ever well worth the 4 hr drive

It was an amazing time, Great Show. Not to Packed , great place to see a show like this. Mosh pits were insane, Godsmack dominated the show, And stained rocked!!!!!!! Hailstorm was a good opening band!

Best show Ive seen in a long time and Godsmacks light show was outrageous!! Good job!!

As always, superb. Great sound, great showmanship. Great show. Godsmack is amazing in concert. Stained also did a nice job.

The show started late. That is my only complaint. So, the concert didn't end until almost midnight. Godsmack and Staind are consistently good live performers and this was no exception. Aaron Lewis seemed in a good mood which makes for a great Staind performance. We have seen him grumpy and the show was short and mediocre... Sully didn't have much to say and that is fine with us. The band was superb and the song mix was fabulous !

Staind ripped a new ass in the arena, and Godsmack tore down the walls, Great, Loud, dRUNK show!!

All 3 bands put on an awesome show. Great lighting and effects. Staind was my personal favorite. Halestorm was really good and Godsmack was amazing! Good long show, with just the right amount of time between sets..didnt have to wait forever. Excellent show.

Godsmack was awesome, but had to listen to 3.5 hours of mostly crap before the 1.5 hours of Godsmack.

driving from ft lauderdale 2 hrs worth the trip, suprised staind played for 1 hr 17 minutes, not bad for a band not the headliner, just a great concert

LOVE Godsmack but kind of bummed they didn't play that long. It seemed like Staind played longer or more songs.....

Hailstorm performed an excellent set to warm up the crowd for Staind/Godsmack... I never "heard" Hailstorm... now I'm looking for their CD/Downloads! Staind absolutely killed it, their light show was excellent. It looked like a war zone or the fourth of July... jaw dropping eye popping lighting rig! Godsmack, right from the first sound, blew the roof off the arena. It felt like the old days... crowd surfing, mosh-pits, the entire floor jumping and fist pumping in unison... Unreal show. I would follow them across their tour if I had the time and money to do so... Absolute musical mayhem! Totally recommend seeing this show if you can!

Overall the concert was great, I really enjoyed stained and godsmack

The whole show was amazing!!! I would definitly go and see them again!!! Sully did a drum duo that was just amazing!!!

Never a dull moment....while Man Made Machine, Halestorm and Godsmack were on stage. Lots of them while Staind performed. I guess I am not as big a Staind fan as I thought. I like what is on the radio, but the rest of the performance was very different from that. They were not bad, just not to my taste. The "good ol' Country Boy" thing just doesn't go far for me... I had never heard of Man Made Machine, but they were decent enough for an opening band. It was obvious that they are just starting out and could have a future on their hands. I have seen Halestorm before and enjoyed them. Haley kicked ass! It was nice to see platforms again. Her heartfelt patter before the song "Rock Show" brought a tear as that is exactly how I feel about rock shows....like you are attending church...obviously, since I am 3 months shy of 50 and still going to shows. And then there is Godsmack. What can I say about Godsmack? First, I can say that I am a die hard fan, so there is not much they can do that I don't like. Always a fast paced, pounding metal show. I had a choice between the Orlando show and Estero show. They are both about the same distance, Estero being just far enough that I had to get a hotel and I think I picked the right show! Sully and the boys were ON!! I will say that I was slightly embarrassed that the the back half of the arena was sparsely filled. Despite the local radio station (99X I think...) building up Southwest Florida's ability to rock...they certainly lacked that ability. Heck they couldn't ever come to the show!! If anyone from the MassChaos Tour is reading this...NEXT TIME CONSIDER TAMPA!!!! We have a newly refurbished Tampa Bay Times Forum.

Godsmack Kicked it !!! Hale storm was also rockin for a new band!! Staind was not a good fit for this concert,

what a awesome show,halestorm,staind, godsmack,once again 99x brings a great show to southwest fl,got backstage meet and greet,pics,just awesome!

I like it and I don't like that music but it was great.

The silver package was the pits ,The show was good

Nice venue. Halestorm and Godsmack were outstanding.

I loved the performances by both Staind and Godsmack. Althought I like the lighter songs of Staind, I am glad he did most of his heavier songs. For Godsmack, I was so glad that they did the drum dual, I loved it! Both Aaron and Sully are sexy!

The concert was great!!! Halestorm rocked it as the opener. Staind was phenomenal. Godsmack always puts on a great show no matter what~!

Loved the drum battle from Godsmack! Staind was amazing! All around, fabulous show!

Godsmack is unbelievable no matter who they are playing with or where they are. I have seen them twice (once acoustic and once when they were "opening" for Disturbed, and both times were beyond belief!! Even people that had said they were only there to see Disturbed ended up saying that Godsmack blew them away....and they didnt even have their pyro or anything that time! All in all everyone should see them at least twice in their lifetime :)

Godsmack was insane and Staind was abolutely incredible and Halestrom was a great surprise

Just AWESOME!!!! Would see over and over. Staind is still kickin ass.

Even better than oracle tour!! All the bands kicked ass!

BrookRoyal was ok but noisy. Halestorm was great. Never heard their music before but they were very good entertainers and interacted with the crowd. Staind definitely had the best light show. But I didn't care for the singer. He didn't interact with the crowd and just seemed bored. Arms crossed and just stood there. Godsmack was awesome, as usual. Absolutely love when they have the 2 drum sets on stage. The only negative experience was seeing/smelling all the people smoking pot. Especially when there is no smoking in public buildings in NY.

Godsmack and Staind was Awesome!!! I had never seen Staind before and they surprised me. I had seen Godsmack 3 other times and they always rock the house!

It wasa awesome concert seats could of been better

This was the 4th time I have saw Staind and they were great as always. Mike Mushok(Stainds guitarist) has so much fun and energy on stage and Aarons vocals are amazing. This was the first time I saw Godsmack and it was by far the best rock show I have ever seen. The energy was insane from the moment they took the stage until the time they walked off. I definantly recommend seeing both of these bands. Oh, and Halestorm was awesome as well.

This show was unbelievable! All bands kicked serious ass!

I enjoyed every minute of this concert! Every group put on their absolute best! Best Rock concert I have seen in a while. Mr. Sully never disappoints that man is so talented.

This show was wicked awesome!! Staind rocked the joint from start to finish and Godsmack literally tore the roof down!! Plaster and debris was flying everywhere but I didn't even care 'cause I was just too gosh darn busy rocking like existence didn't even exist anymore!! Hey, who turned out the lights? Cool, I think I've finally reached Nirvana! (which makes no sense 'cause I'm neither hindu or buddhist!) Anyhoo, great bands, great show, great times were had by one and all! Over and out.

I have seen Godsmack about 8 times now in all different kinds of venues....outside, in a big stadium, unplugged in a small intimate setting and they are ALWAYS incredible! They always are high energy and never disappoint! This concert, Sully had his daughter come out on stage which was really sweet. I had never seen Staind before even though I have always loved their music. They too are a show you should not miss! Great talent!!! Great light show!!!! The opening act of Hellya I could have done without. Wasn't impressed with them.

The concert was unusual in a sense due to a surprisingly small crowd for such big name acts. Staind sounds very much like they do on their recorded Cd's so their music was great but they aren't particularly good at interacting with the crowd and barely did so. The lead singer even candidly admitted he didn't like talking during performances, so if you are attending a Staind concert expect great music but very little onstage presence. Godsmack was almost the opposite in regards to onstage presence. Sully continues to be great at whipping a crowd up, even a pretty sedate and small crowd like the one at Lexington. However where the group loses points with me is the lack of anger and emotion in their song renditions. By this point I guess the band has been so distanced from their roots that singing the music has become more about entertainment and less about self expression. The drum session was a major high point of the concert. Nonetheless they are a great band and one of the greatest rock bands ever in my opinion.

Awesome concert! It kicked some major *ss! The lineup of Brook Royale, Halestorm, Staind and Godsmack was a rockers dream come true! Was disappointed that Godsmack did not have CDs for sale at a kiosk but overall well pleased!

First concert that I have been to where all the bands that played kicked ass. I would go see the show again without any hesitation!

I've been to several Godsmack concerts in the War Memorial and this one was by far the worst. The sound was absolutely terrible.

First time ever hearing hail storm but of course lazy is gorgeous and she's got some lungs on hear awesome voice staind didn't dissapoint me either I seen them in Albany in November 2011 and they were just as awesome in Syracuse as they were in Albany I never seen godsmack and was excited to see them in concert but they just seemed kind of dead on stage I do like their music but in concert they just were putting me to sleep I had to leave

Traveled 3 hours both ways. Am a big fan of both Godsmack & Stained. Event was poorly set-up. Sound quality was poor, lack of and poor set up of restrooms caused displeasure and discomfort. People were urinating in the standing / walking areas. Disgusting. Godsmack started playing very late. Have seen them many times, this was there poorest performance. I won't plan to see them again for a long time.

Great show, was looking forward to seeing Halestorm, they were great as usual and I got to hear songs from there new cd. It was my first time seeing Staind, nice to see the people that play the songs from the radio. And Godsmack was good, haven't seen them in awhile.

It was an amazing concert..everyone rocked. Can NOT wait to get to see Godsmack again-love them!!!!! AWESOME job guys!!!

I started out the nite thinking I am getting too old for a rock concert, (not used to that loud of music). It took a day to get my hearing back. I love both bands music, but mainly went to see Staind. I was disappointed that their bass was so high you couldn't understand what he was singing. I wasn't sure what to expect when Godsmack came out, but you could understand them and they put on a great show.

AWESOME SHOW Halestorm especially! The opening band was ok too

I have been to a lot of shows in my lifetime but this one is one of the most memorable shows I have ever been to. 4 Bands, Brook Royal, Black Stone Cherry, Staind and Godsmack. They all rocked our asses off. If I get the opportunity I will definitely see these bands again. Great show! Would recommend to everyone to see this show.

This was the 2nd time I have seen Staind and they were AWESOME. I cna't remember how many times I have seen Godsmack ( A LOT!) and every show is better than the last. Dueling drums.....nobody can beat that!

Godsmack was amazing! I went for Staind and was glad I stayed for Godsmack. The drumoff was out of this world! I have never seen a better show.

The show was very good, Im happy that Sully showed up to the meet and greet and the set up of getting autographs and pictures was wonderful. I was disappointed with our seats. I paid alot of money for the tickets and the VIP section was far from the stage where people who paid $42.00 were closer to the stage.

The concert was really good. I enjoyed all three bands. Well worth the money!

Concert was awesome and all three bands we're great! But the Bangor Waterfront had some pretty piss poor planning on their part with only 8 porta-potties in the whole beer garden!!!

Loved every second of it and would recommend it to anyone

The concert itself was good, but the seating at Klipsche is better and the drive from Indy was horrible.

I have seen Godsmack several times and Staind one other time, and the show is always amazing and unlike any other! I am going to see Godsmack again in July, because the dueling drums is one part of the show that I will always be my favorite.

We drove over 4 hours to come to see this concert! I would do over again and again and again!!!

The show was awesome. It was my first time seeing Staind in concert. They were good. It was my third time seeing Godsmack, first time as a headliner. That's who I was there to see. They jammed the hell out of the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN. They played every song I wanted to hear except a few, but I loved it.

This show kicked some serious ass! The music was spot- on and sound was excellent. As always, Godsmack was incredible, in tune - not only with their instruments, but also the audience - and they ROCKED IT HARD! Staind as expected, put on a non-stop performance of all the top hits. Halestorm, who opened, rang through the crowd and set the mood.

The show was absolutely awesome. Godsmack was amazing, Staind was really good, and Black Stone Cherry was wonderful!

This was my first concert, and it was Awesome! My sisters and our boyfriends all went together and ended up running in to a bunch of our old friends. Again... It was Awesome! I can't wait for another concert.

We had to travel for 2.5 hours but was totally worth it!! Didn't want the night to end!! Can't wait till the next show!!!

Best show i have ever gone too. Wish i wasnt such a baby when i met sully and was able to speak it was amazing and he is still hot as hell!!!

Intend to watch Staind & Godsmack tear up the stage every year that I can now!!! One word: "BADASS!"

The show in Hunnington Wv was just amazing! I would love to see it again!

GodSmack, Staind, and Halestorm hit on all cylinders. I enjoyed discovering the opening band Man Made Machine. Look for big things in the future from these Arizona rockers.

Even though they weren't my favorite bands, it was the best show ever. I had such an amazing time.

Godsmack definitely put on a great show with all their loud, awesome music! Perfect way to end a long night! Staind was more laid back --- great performance! And then Halestorm....I love her style and voice! The Ford Pavilion in Beaumont, Texas is a bit of a drive but it is just about as far as Woodlands. The prices were great, customer service was great and everyone working was super friendly! Will definitely go back to that venue!

Awesome performance by all bands. I WILL be seeing all again!!

Man Made Machine, Halestorm, Staind, and Godsmack were awesome. 3rd time to see Halestorm and I hope to see them again. 1st time to see the other bands and would love to see them again as well.

I've been front row for Godamack once before but this show was amazing! All of these bands laid it all out there. Ill never forget it!

Let me just say, I loved everything about the show, I mean, all of the performers were really great, and I'm a big fan of all three. However don't go to the Cajundome to see your favorite band because the crowd is always really lame. So much so that the last 3 concerts I went to there, the headlining band actually said something about how dead the place is. For Shinedown, Brent Smith had to walk through the floor, to the back of the dome to get people to stand up. Sully Erna from Godsmack, stopped the show to tell everybody how lame they were for sitting down at a rock show and I was on the floor and apart from like the 5 people moshing, you'd be lucky to see a fist in the air. So I don't know what it is about that place but it's hard to have fun when no one else around you is into it. Come on! It's a rock show!!!

We have been long time fans of Godsmack, but never been to any of their concerts. The performance both Godsmack and Staind put on was amazing. They performed specifically for the audience and not just to be on stage. One of the best concerts I've been to in awhile.

This concert was truly amazing. The opening act, Halestorm, rocked. Got to meet Staind, very cool down-to-earth guys. They put on such a good show & sounded awesome. Wonderfully talented & professional. Godsmack was very, very impressive, the lights, sound, songs, performance all superb. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

All three bands were worth seeing. I actually liked Staind the best, lead singer did a couple acoustic songs that really showed off how strong a voice he has!

The bands were amazing, they brought a lot of energy to the stage, they sounded great other than Halestorm who had too much bass and I couldn't hear her much... the only thing that sucked was the arena- they allowed no cameras and the workers were older party poopers who kept looking out for anyone who was using them and kept ruining the concert experience. Overall, the show was unforgettable and I would see them again!

godsmack kicks ass! the entire band is amazing and sully erna is one talented man!!! he can play so many instruments and he is awesome on the drum!!! omg i love the drum battle that is like the best part. godsmack has grown and evolved and they just keep getting better and better. and now with sullly erna's solo albumn now that just totally blew me away.

I am a huge Staind fan, and I really love Godsmack. We missed Shinedown because of waiting for others in our party. I really wish I would have gotten to see them, but as always Staind was wonderful! Godsmack was awesome. I highly recommend this show to anyone if they come back to town.

This was my 12 year old son's first concert. I purchased the tickets as a birthday present for him. He enjoyed all 3 bands. He and my sister had a great time and even got to meet Lizzie and Joe of Halestorm. Overall it was better than I expected. It was simply a great concert. Only negative was cameras were not allowed in the venue, I had to return to my car to return my camera. That is the only reason I've given it 4 stars.

I Went to the show on Aug. 22 in tinley park IL, I was very disappointed in sully not coming out to sign CD's. And his attitude on stage was disappointing as well. This was my first time seeing Godsmack and dont get me wrong I LOVE their music, they are my favorite band, shannon rocks and so do the other guys, But it made a big difference on how i see sully. He acts stuck up. Staind was Awesome, and always there for their fans, Shinedown had the BEST light show ever and they all are always there for their fans. I guess SULLY if you want your fans to be there for you, show alittle like you care.

All three bands were great! I can't get enough of Godsmack! The venue was clean, including the restrooms. That's always a plus! Godsmack is just great, that's all there is to it!

They herded us through the Meet and Greet line like cattle and some of them didn't even speak. We were only allowed to sign have one thing signed out of the 4 things we had received. I was also disappointed that even though we were all a "VIP" We couldn't go to the floor, and we had to stay in our seats even though we payed more for our tickets than anyone else. Their show is always the same and i have seen the band play 3 - 4 times now and they play all of the same songs at every concert. Overall i would have to say it was a terrible experience and I will never go and see Godsmack again in a concert.

Godsmack and Staind played the Mass Chaos tour in Lexington, KY on May 4, 2012. My daughter and I were lucky enough to get V.I.P. tickets to meet Godsmack! So, before the concert, we went backstage, met all the members of Godsmack, and I got them to sign my Godsmack tattoo, which I had inked in later. All the members of Godsmack are down to earth, really nice guys. It was an honor to meet them! Then the concert started! Black Stone Cherry and Brook Royal warmed us up. They both rocked! Then Staind came out and blew us away with all my favorites. They were excellent!! Then, my favorite band in the world took the stage, GODSMACK!! Sully told us that they were going to rock us out and they did just that!! They rocked the roof right off Rupp Arena!! It was great to hear such favorites as Keep Away, Voodoo, I Stand Alone, and the drum battle!!

Took a co-worker for her first concert, and had a blast! Staind put on a surprisingly good set. Aaron Lewis received a huge pop for playing "Country Boy", then Godsmack to wrap up the night fantastic performances.

Staind should of been headliner. Godsmack was pretty lame but I'm a true Staind fan. Loved their performance.

Godsmack never disappoints and they were great. Staind was great too. First time seeing them. I did not like the acoustics in Rupp Arena though. Have seen Godsmack in other places and this was the worst in the sound area. Was not the band's fault.

I had a great time at the Mass Chaos event in Bangor, Maine. BrookRoyal was AMAZING, and Staind was my favorite, and of course Godsmack was AWESOME. I wasn't a fan of HellYeah, but I'm glad I got the chance to go! :)

good concert but wished Godsmack could of played for a bit longer

THE STAIN AND GODSMACK CONCERT AT THE FORD CENTER WAS A GREAT,THE VENUE WAS SMALL ENOUGH TO FELL PERSONAL,WE MET STAINED BEFORE THE CONCERT,THAT WAS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE,I WOULD RECOMMEND THE MASS CHAOS TOUR TO ALL THAT THE OPPURTUNITY.

I arrived just in time to see the beginning of the show with Hellyeah .. they were fantastic, and really took my heart. I would have liked to see more of them, and maybe later in the show . Staind did well, I was in a different place around the stage, so I didn't hear his vocals as much, but it was good, but not as Kick Ass, as hellyeah. Godsmack was really good, and loved their showmanship, and quality . I enjoyed them alot. All in all . good show .. 8/10 .. and would liked to see more ..extra, but was great as is.

Everything was great except that we paid to meet the band and then they stuck us in seats for the show, when everyone else only had to pay 40 bucks for general admission, where we paid close to 400 for the two of us.

Staind & Godsmack were amazing... opening artists weren't all that great. Aaron Lewis was the Shizz :)

I have been a Godsmack fan for many years and have had the extreme pleasure of seeing them live twice. This show was Amazing! Sully and the rest of the band came out on stage and totally rocked the house. Sully is an incredible ball of fire and energy that blazes across the stage creating one of the best live shows I have ever seen. My favorite part of the show was the drum battle that Sully and Shannon perform. Two full drum sets move on to the stage and these two amazing drummers start bashing away , battling back and forth, and playing in time with one another. It is truly an awe inspiring sight. I also enjoyed the set by Halestorm. Lzzy has one of the most amazing and strongest voices in rock today. Their set was full of energy and was a great intro for Godsmack. I can't wait until I can see Godsmack in concert again. Godsmack is Awesome!

Very talented,high energy bands Especially loved Godsmack!! Thanks for a great time!!

Got M&G passes for Staind. IT was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Very professional.

I love when big names like Halestorm, Staind, and Godsmack come to the local arena. Wish there were more concerts like this at Binghamton!!

Halestorm was amazing just like last time I saw them at Krockathon. Staind was better then I expected! Godsmack was great as usual. The only problem with Godsmack was that their show was exactly the same as the one I saw at Spac last fall.

The whole concert was amazing. all the groups kicked ass

I've been a fan of these guys for a long time, and they finally came to my area. I love that they came to a smaller venue and absolutely blew the roof off the place, as if they were playing a huge venue. Aaron has the most amazing voice and the dual of the drums from Godsmack was the most amazing thing ever!!!

not as loud as smackfest an wasnt quit as good assmackfest!

Outstanding! My two favorite bands, Staind and Halestorm were awesome. Now also a huge fan of Godsmack! They put on one hell of a show!!

I was very pleased with the overall performance of Hale Storm and Staind but i really went to see Godsmack and was not disappointed! I would love to see them again. The only complaint i had was the music was so loud it alomost hurt the Quality!
