There is not a band on this line up that I am willing to stand out in 100 degree heat, sweat my ass off, pay 100 dollars or whatever, for a ticket AND drive 300 miles to go see. The closest they are coming to Nashville is Indy...Hell, even if they did come to Nashville, I wouldnt go anyway. Last year, I did it for Maiden, and I would do it again, but not for this line up. This is horrible.

They're a joke and shouldn't even be ON Ozzfest. All they are, are a "hxc metal" band who endorse eyeliner and black hair and think they're the baddest shit on earth because they're compared to Guns N Roses.

Face it, A7X. You're not GnR, you'll never BE GnR, so give up while you're ahead.

Definitely not an Ozzfest show I'm going to. Fuck it.

BLS, OZZY, Strapping Young Lad, and (maybe) System of A Down would be the only reason to go. But for the rest of this stupid-ass line up (Avenged Sevenfold? Give me a break!!!), it would be worth skipping this year.

\m/etallica should have headlined!

I'm not really a fan of Incubus either. I think that if they're going to put "metal" bands on this bill like they're SUPPOSE to, or so it seems like they're suppose to, they should really do it instead of booking bands like that. It's really a shame what it's come to when they have to start booking faux metal bands, or just straight up sucky bands for something that's built up to be so great.

WHile Europe has metal festivals almost weekly in the summer, we get Ozzfest each year. I've went to the last two in San Bernadino, Ca, two years ago for Slayer and Superjoint.; last year for Maiden.

I don't want to be within ten square miles of Disturbed. SOaD have ended up where all leftist socialist, losers do, on the scrap heap with no credibility and waning album sales. (Can you say RAtM)

A dream line-up would be:

Obituary
Bolt Thrower
SOD
Cattle Decapitation
Napalm Death
Black Dahlia Murder
Suffocation
NIle
Morbid Angel
Testament

With master of Ceremonies Philip Anselmo.

80$ for a ticket,5$ to park,7$ for a beer

If that was the price breakdown it would be worth it. But at the tweeter center its 20.00 to park 100.00 (not including charges) a ticket, and 10.00 a beer.

Left Denver out again! What the hell? This is 2 or 3 years in a row now. Last time it nearly sold out Mile High Stadium, but who can remember when that was? Anyone? Oh yeah, Denver doesn't exist anymore.

Anyway...
Fuck Ozzfest. For starters, the lineup is bullshit. For second, Ozzy just needs to fucking retire already. Everyone I know has seen enough of this dottering old fool.

If I had my fuckn way I would drag all you Ozzy Hater's behind an Ice Cream truck selling goodies to all the Fuck's who need sugar (and lot's of it) to keep up with the Crap you fucker's now call Musik. When they ask, "Why the hell the Ice Cream man is such a sadistical bastard, dragging, white ugly, tattoed, pierced fucks behind the truck?" My reply would be, "These gems all lost repect for the MAN who pathed the way to all the fuckn wonderful mayhemn that occurred after his blissful experience with Black Sabbath. After all the shit he went through with this fucked up countries philosopies about what Music should be, after all the controversies he indured, now all you stupid posers are nothing but little Ozzman want-to-be's, Wishing you had half the ball's Ozz had to come up with something like Performing with "That dude that played 18," and crapped on stage. Now all you little mini-turds are just that, Ozzies crap. As far as disrespecting Sharon, you "Meanies" need to Drink more milk you fuckn' Rude beasts. You and your mother need to be sent to a year's confinment where you are force to watch "Barney" and "Teletubies" all day and night fuckn long. And forced to eat salad's and soup. Hopefully by time you had to fuck your mother because of you unability to control your regergitated ignorance, you will have realized that you did wrong by posting your crap on this about Ozzy. Im a retarded Mexican-American, and I love Ozzy. If it wasn't for him I'd still be listening to shit like, Shakira, N-Sync, and all the stupid ass shit your Parents are still trying to force you to play in THEIR Garages!!!!! Hanging too good for you gems! Please contact the web site, 'sellmyballs.com', do the world a favor, don't reproduce!!!
