anthrax is not really going to be playing ozzfest are they?

[metalchurch]

i am not paying 60 dollars and have to sit through a bunch of crap just to see anthrax.i hope that rumor is not true

 

[spitzs lazy eye]

Id pay $60 to go see Anthrax. In Oz we dont have the privelage of seeing the band half a dozen times a year.

 

[metalchurch]

it seems these days everybody hates ozzfest

 

[JohnThrax]

It would be nice to see them on Ozzfest. Lots of exposure, and hopefully they will do some stuff with John Bush too

we were lucky just to get them heer twice in 2 years lol,lets hope we are at the top of the list after new album comes out lol

Well if it means expanding their fan base i could see them doing it, but personaly i think its a bad idea to support that BITCH.

 

[Whiplash402]

i think that would be cool to see anthrax along with megadeth at ozzfest

Why would megadeth play ozzfest when they have gigantour?

this is true. I'm a Gigantour fan for life. Ozzfest is too expensive for me

 

[jdelpi]

gigantour = 2,000 to 3,000 people
ozzfest = at least 10,000 people

Not that I really want to go to Ozzfest again. I will if Anthrax is there.

Not necessarily. Some places had up to 6,000. The great thing about Gigantour was the fact that it didnt need to sell out to be succesful. I am hoping it will be a yearly thing, something my friends and I will always be able to go to as a way of closing out the summer.

[mrthrax]

are any bands making money except for the main attractions,i dont think so,akthough it is good avertising just being on ozzfest.

 

[coolsnow7]

Gigantour, while not meant to compete with Ozzfest just yet, is supposed to be Mustaine's version. Somehow I don't think Megadeth will do Ozzfest.

 

[Violent Noise at Extreme Speed]

Fuck Sharon Osbourne!

 

[Bleearg]

Ozzfest started out smaller too, not that small, but the first year was a arena tour. Gigantour's set up was better than Ozzfest. I thought it was great this year. Ozzfest is too damn long! After 12 hrs in the baking sun everyone is beat before the headliners hit the stage. I think it is ridiculous to have Ozzfest without Ozzy. He is only going to play a few special dates this year.
Flood the Gigantour forum!!!!

Screw Sharon Osbourne, there's too much crap anyway, Wacken Open Air rules! Or at least it did when I was there (2004).

Actually, the first Ozzfest could hardly be considered a tour - it was only 2 dates in California (October 26th, 1996) and Arizona (October 25th, 1996).

I'm not sure of the size of the Blockbuster Pavillion in Arizona, but the one in Devore, CA has a capacity of 50,000. Hardly arenas...

 

[Bleearg]

Actually: Many of these shows were inside arenas and auditoriums.

Bleearg is right.
I was at the Wed-10/02/1996 Saginaw, MI show at Wendler ARENA with Danzig and Sepultura. Prong was supposed to be there also but they disbanded for awhile and Tommy Victor was playing with Danzig.
