AVENGED SEVENFOLD Frontman Says They Were Offered This Year's OZZFEST - Jan. 10, 2006
AVENGED SEVENFOLD frontman M. Shadows spoke to Billboard.com about the group's touring plans, which include an upcoming club tour, a European trek and another Stateside run (co-headlining with a notable band he declined to name) in the spring. The group's summer plans remain up in the air, but one festival gig won't be reprised.

"We're not going to do a Vans Warped run," Shadows told Billboard.com. "We're probably going to go to Europe but there are a lot of tours going on. We're not really sure what's going on with Ozzfest. They've been offering stuff but we're not really sure who is headlining. They won't tell us and they want us to commit now but we won't do that until we know who is headlining. We might just get out of the country and do a [U.S.] tour after the summer."

An AVENGED SEVENFOLD DVD is also possibility and may be released as soon as the fall. "The DVDs I like to watch are like the PANTERA DVD, where everyone is just fucking around backstage, going crazy," Shadows told Billboard.com. "You get to see signings and see them having a good time backstage and then you get to see a couple of live performances and their videos. That's kind of what I want to have. I know we're a fun band when we tour, and I think kids would love to see that."

Getting the ego somewhat early aren't ya? Why does it make a rat's ass who's headlining?

.....because since Ozzy/Sabbath arent headlining (as they've said they were not) and headliner bands the calibur of Priest and Maiden are probably a little cautious after last years debacle.......Avenged Sevenfold probably don't want to commit to a tour that could easily fall on its face this year - especially since they have the buzz now to do a smaller thing on their own this summer.....

.....can't say that I blame them.



CLUTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice point, actually. Didn't even think about ozzy/sabbath not opening + the bad repuation Ozzfest will probably have now with high profile metal bands.


DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's good to see bands questioning Ozzfest this year. It'll be too little too late, but sharon will realize how she fucked up when nobody major wants to put up with her shit.

This is the exception to the rule that there is no such thing as bad publicity...

Even if Ozzfest wasn't a gigantic question mark, these guys really don't need the festival thing. They have such a large amount of hype around them, that they actually run the risk of losing some of it by doing Ozzfest. It's not like they need help selling tickets...

Why do all these bands "brag" about being offered a slot on Ozzfest like it's some big honor??? Ozzfest once apon a time kicked but it sucks nutz now. No serious act would sign on to this years tour unless it's for the $$$$$$. Kelly O. Headlines!

i dont want them to play on ozzfest anyway. the reason they dont want to say who is headlining ozzfest is because they dont want it to leak out. i say that its metallica. and if metallica and children of bodom play on ozzfest this year it will be worth the thirty-five dollar lawn ticket. i also would like slayer to headline the socond stage. that would be a dream come true concert

....two things that suck, so they would be perfect together. Lars and Sharon can sit back stage and count all their cash from the fucking sheep who follow them!

A7X don't need Ozzfest...and certainly not now with all the bad publicity. I know of another tour they would be better for....

GIGANTOUR IN '06, fuckers!!!

yup, after an amazing 2004, Ozzfest 2005 was half good, half crap....and if they get on 2006, that's pretty much a sign that that tour is finished. although it's not as if this tour wasn't officially dead after that bullshit with Iron Maiden already.....


FUCK OZZFEST & FUCK AVENGED SEVENFOLD.
