Main Stage:

OZZY OSBOURNE
JUDAS PRIEST
SLAYER
DIMMU BORGIR
SUPERJOINT RITUAL
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY

Second Stage:

SLIPKNOT
HATEBREED
LAMB OF GOD

Rotating:

ATREYU
BLEEDING THROUGH
LACUNA COIL
EVERY TIME I DIE
UNEARTH
GOD FORBID

The press conference to announce the exact lineup for this year's Ozzfest will take place on Friday, February 20 at 11:00 a.m. PST at Avalon (1735 N. Vine Street) in Hollywood, California.

actually it looks pretty gay per usual. It has most of those popular metalcore bands that boarder line nu metal anyways. Fuck ozzfest.

JUDAS PRIEST
w. halford

and you have to think if it looks decent for 70 bucks a ticket. Fuck that.

looks less gay than most ozzfests'

i think i may cover this...

Superjoint Ritual is the epitome of gay

this really pisses me off. i dont want to pay 80 bucks to see a reunited judas priest. the hot topic kids are gonna eat up dimmu though.

Compared to past Ozzfest I'd say this line up is gold. Although I think the old man should take a seat this year. Sabbath with Dio should play instead.

i never thought I'd live to see the day but I may just have to go too.

but then again somebody might throw beer (or pee) onto the soundboard.

I'm pissed Sharron is making Ozzy do this. Let the fuckin' guy heal. Chrissakes/

This is fucking great! I will just stay at the main stage. I'll sit through Superjoint Ritual any day to see Dimmu, Slayer, and Priest all at one concert! And the price won't be that bad. Two years ago grass seats at Ozzfest were going for 15 bucks.

20$ says within the next month we start seeing slipknot pictures with their new best friends dimmu borgir.

and i will kill myself

morkul said:

Nah, I doubt it. I am glad that Dimmu is getting this publicity. They certainly deserve it. Replace SJR with Children Of Bodom and BLS with Opeth and put them all at top bill and you got yourself one hell of a show.

um... no ozzy this year?

either way it should be a killer day of music and mayhem.

morkul said:

Agreed. Speaking of mayhem, wouldn't it be cool if Mayhem played Ozzfest? That would slap the Slipknot fans in the face. And about that article, I would really really like to see an article about Ozzy that doesn't mention the bat incident. Ok! Ozzy bit the head off a bat! We all know that! Let's move on!

...he bit the head off THREE bats. one he thought was fake.

Wee...Bink! said:

No. He bit the head off a fake bat. Then, at one gig someone threw a dead bat onstage. Ozzy, being fucked up on who the hell knows what, thought it was fake (cause bats are rubbery in texture), bit its head off, then realized, "oh shit". The other one was a dove, which he knew was real.

retzam said:

Agreed, I love Children of Bodom.

WTF

not a bad lineup.......personally i like superjoints new album.....id take them anyday over damageplan,even though phil lost his fucking mind....... ozzy should just go nuts and kill sharon for christ sake......the osbournes is the gayest show, and that bitch totally ruined him. he used to be somewhat of a metal god,but now he just looks retarded and his kids suck just as much as wife. i hope jack osbourne has a pianoed dropped on him while hes fucking kelly

sitroMmuidOeD said:hole.

Bump cause of awesomeness.

well, it could be worse.

But alot better too... well, no cause its ozzfest. and ozzy is a tool.

I'd rather see this than the NEHMF.

I wonder what happened to the nu metal bands.

ya, no kidden. ozz fest used to be a nu metal buttf**k. supposedly jack osbourne picks the bands,and being the trendy wanker that he is, he picked all metalcore bands.......cause thats whats "in" right now. if black metal was in,he'd sell his soul.....

UGH...I love how Jack acknowledged Meshuggah as "death metal from Norway." He knows his shit.

jack osbourne needs to be prison raped

Terence said:

Hahaha, yeah seriously. I got pretty pissed when he said that.

I like:
Slayer, Dimmu, Judas Priest, Unearth

I dislike:
Superjoint, slipknot, every time i die, hatebreed, BLS, ozzy, atreyu, bleeding through, lacuna coil.

I dont care:
lamb of god(seen them a million times) God Forbid

All in all, it could be a lot worse. I wont go because i couldnt handle being around those kids. But, at least they put on some good shit. Fuck korn and disturbed.

its good to see that they're getting some better bands, but its still kinda weird to see hardcore bands at ozzfest.....i don't know if it will ever mix.

I am going for two reasons:

1. Priest with Halford. Need I say more?

2. The chance to see Dimmu at the main stage of the Tweeter Center is too small to pass up. This is once in a lifetime (unless they play Ozzfest again).

Well, actually, the more I

For those 15$ grass seats I'd consider it for Uunearth, bleeding through, and lamb of god... but having to wait between those numerous gay sets and walking around amongst members of the trench coat mafia and kids dressed in orange janitor suits... I don't think I could put up.

Blackout said:

haha unearth, you definately are from whitman

tee-hee

Joe, what do Somervillians listen to?

whitman, ma...represent

Somerville playlist:
1.) Ascendancy
2.) Brodequin
3.) Dokaka (that Japanese guy who does the acapella-karaoke versions of Slayer, Maiden, Metallica)
4.) Diamanda Galas (new shit, good shit)
5.) Krzysztof Penderecki (the guy who did most of the scary music in "The Shining")

oh but yeah, I guess I'll have to go to this. Oh well.

In Somerville they listen to Brazilian dance music.
You are the exception to the rule

haha, yeah Union Square where I live is like, the MORDOR of salsa music

LOL! Hey, I live around the corner from Ryles on Inman... although I do get to see some shitty punk every once in awhile at the Abbey.

btw, I've never seen Lamb of God live, although I'm not paying $80 to. That's just gay.

really? no fuckin' shit, we're neighbors. I used to live on St. Mary

Lamb of God will probably play the NE Metalfest anyway

I live just down the street from the firehouse right on the corner. St. Mary's has that SWEEEET jungle-gym in the shape of an octogonocle or whatever.

NE Metalfest. Hrm.

you 2 should go to salsa night together, i'll double date with Debbie

Shit, I used to know how to dance salsa, but I'm a big fan of the forbidden dance.

Man, that was a shitty movie. Matter of fact, I hate almost any movie with dancing in it.
