Eminem is drawing criticism from festivalgoers who were frightened and upset over the rapper's use of realistic gunshot sound effects during his headlining performance at Bonnaroo Saturday night (6/9).

Many fans screamed and ducked as a series of loud blasts rang through the crowd during Eminem's performance of "Kill You," from his 2000 album, The Marshall Mathers LP. The nervous reaction arrives at a time when concertgoers are on edge following the deadly mass shooting at last year's Route 91 country music festival in Las Vegas.
