Dozens of tweets emerged almost immediately criticizing Eminem for the use of such sound effects. "Less than a year after Vegas and @Eminem thinks it's a good idea to blast gun shot sfx onstage at a music festival?" wrote Brad King on Twitter. "Bad call on this headliner @Bonnaroo."

Festival organizers have instituted many new safety measures, including metal detectors but while the efforts aim to quell fears, the tragedy of the fatal Las Vegas shooting remains fresh for some attendees. --- ...

Gun shots are pretty common in rap music. Dunno why people would see Eminem in 2018 though.

An example of the famous being toxic and I'm sure real shooters will pick up the vibe and make fame out of it.

Fuck sirens in songs they play on the radio. Or even in news reports. NPR has gotten really bad about it.
