Shelbyswindle, look at the top of this page, click on set times. It will tell you the time each band is playing. as far as the back pack I dont know. And dont let anyone tell you to call the venue because I've tried. There is no way to talk to a actual person. But if you go to Aarons amp @ lakewood web site I think they have some q&a there you might find out.
Anybody know if backpacks/purses/bags are allowed at all??
ALSO..
anybody know the specific times bands are going to be playing and signing??
I need to know so I can make out a schedule..

They better fucking play! They're the only fucking reason I'm going!! Good news is it's only supose to be in the mid to high 80's saturday. Fuck it's gotta be hot in those mask though with all the fire and shit.
Nevik1, do you know which bands are signing in the jäger tent, or even where about certain signings will be held? I know it's the different tents but I mean do you know where it actually will be and how far away from the main stage it is? Sorry for rushing this but I'm just trying to get their fast enough to hopefully meet a few members of slipknot, thanks

Thursday, 5 July 2012Mayhem Festival 2012 Full Concert Review - Seattle, WA - July 3rd 2012
I have been awaiting this day ever since I heard a rumour that Slipknot could possibly be the headliner for Mayhem Festival 2012 back in October 2011. Slipknot has been my favourite band for the past 3 years and I saw them live only once before Mayhem 2012 back in 2009 with Paul Gray. That was one of the best performance's I have ever seen. They completely blew me away. Mayhem Festival 2012 is Slipknot's first performance in North America since the horrible death of Paul Gray. I was really excited when I saw the 2012 lineup for Mayhem Festival and I could not wait to go and it was a mind blowing day.
I was going to the closest date to my hometown city Vancouver, BC and that was in Auburn, WA on July 3rd. This was a 4 hour drive away from my home. My sleep the night before was horrible due to me being so excited for this day so I only had around 2-3 hours of sleep and I had to wake up around 4:30am to leave my house at 5am. I arrived at the venue early, around 11:15am and I was the first in the early entry lineup. I had early entry pre-order laminate tickets which let me in 15 minuets early into the venue. The early entry doors opened at 1pm and the first thing I did was purchase the new Slipknot greatest hits album "Antennas To Hell" to meet the band afterwards. Then I pre-ordered the new As I Lay Dying Album "Awakened" and got a laminate to meet the band and get the full album 10 days before it comes out. I walked around checking out the merch tents for all the bands and purchased a I, The Breather and a Whitechapel shirt. Then I saw that Asking Alexandria was signing in 10 mins (at 1:30pm) at the yellow Revolver Mag tent so I waited in line for a bit and met all of the members of Asking Alexandria. It was Asking Alexandria's first time back since the "Drunk Danny" incident in Seattle last year. Danny said he was not going to drink in Washington on this tour because he wanted to have a top notch performance. Danny (the singer of AA) also told me that they are not allowed to play their new single "Run Free" live on Mayhem Fest quite yet due to the Record Label not wanting them to.
PICTURES OF AA MEET N' GREET -
After I met AA I went to the front of the Jagar Stage to catch the end of the set from local Battle of the Bands winner 'Drown Mary'. They were a really good band and they put on a amazing performance. After them 'Upon A Burning Body' performed and they completely killed it. This is a band that really grew in popularity after their last release "RED. WHITE. GREEN.". The mosh pit was huge for this band and most people knew the words for most of their songs. This band got everyone off their feet at one point and they put on a great live performance. They are a deathcore band from Texas but they are pretty unique. Their music is very bouncy and it has a party vibe to it. Due to the fact they are on Mayhem this year they will be one of the few bands in the deathcore scene to grow in popularity rapidly.
