Eminem criticized after ‘gunshot’ sound effects cause panic at festival

埃米纳姆因在演唱会上模仿枪声效果获批评

Eminem caused panic among some fans at the Bonnaroo music festival when a sound effect which sounded like gunfire was used at the end of one song.

Concertgoers screamed and ducked* as a number of loud blasts rang out during the star’s performance of “Kill You.”

Speaking afterwards, some fans branded Eminem’s performance on Saturday as irresponsible, given the recent spate of fatal shootings in the U.S.

However, a representative for the star denied he had used gunshot effects.

“The effect used by Eminem in his set at Bonnaroo was a pyrotechnic* concussion* which creates a loud boom,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

“He has used this effect — as have hundreds of other artists — in his live show for over 10 years, including previous U.S. festival dates, without complaint.”

In one video of the set, a fan immediately dropped their phone upon hearing the sound effect, which was accompanied by a bright flash from the stage.

Another concertgoer at the event in Tennessee said they had been forced to leave the show because of the “panic.”

“Being at a festival/concert in these current times brings new concerns and fears,” wrote Cristi Williams on Twitter.

Social media star Andrea Russett, who also attended the festival in Tennessee, said Eminem’s set brought her to “the point of tears.”

“To hear a gunshot sound effect and see the entire crowd drop to the floor out of instinct is not funny, cute, or amusing,” she tweeted.

“This is the sad reality that we are living. This is not funny or even something to be joked about.”
