Mayhem Festival vs. Ozzfest

[Blackwater Demon]

Which do you think would be better? I think hands down the Mayhem fest would be because Ozzfest is horrible and has been horrible for years. What kind of metal festival is having rumors flying around about Stone Temple Pilots being at it? Im not really all for Slipknot but the other bands are pretty well worth seeing. What do you all think?

 

[PaganBlood]

wtf is mayhem fest? I found a killer festival the other day (Summer Slaughter). Very nice line up. Vader, Psycroptic, Aborted, Cryptopsy, Kataklysm

 

[GmT-Curwen]

Same here, what's that Mayhem Fest? Never heard about it.
What I'd love to go is to the Ragnarök fest, it's awesome.

I've heard that show rules, I should check out if it's coming here.

 

[Trashhead]

Heh, Aborted... yay for Belgium! Just don't know as Black Dahlia Murder as a headline though

 

[xtyrantx]

Never heard of mayhem festival either. I think that the best festivals of this summer are http://www.tuska-festival.fi/index_eng.html and http://www.hellfest.fr/web08/metal/index.php?p=6&langue=en&web_hellfest=105b9d72ec79cf7be5f414ad40a92fff now these are true festivals .

 

[Alasdhair]

Well, I Googled Mayhem Fest and it linked me to some kind of bike festival thing. Pretty sure that's not it.

But yeah, I have to agree Ozzfest has become the poo. By far the best Festival around at the minute is Wacken Open Air.

 

[waif]

Not this again. Both are fail.

Falsity.

That is by far one of the biggest.

It is bested by Metal Camp and Graspop off the top of my head.

Really?

At The Gates and Carcass are both playing "re-union" gigs this year. I challenge you to find a festival to top that.

 

[False Joe]

At the Gates are playing everywhere. Including Bloodstock

Check out the Graspop line ups.

The awesomeness overwhelms the Carcass.

Ah... That I did not know

And that grasspop line up does look good, but... Carcass.

Yeah, who can say no to Ministry, Def Leppard, and Whitesnake?




Oh, wait, everyone....

On the other hand...Morbid Angel, Testament, Nile, Obituary, Symphony X, and Behemoth sounds good.
But overall, I think Wacken is probably superior.

How's this? The New England Hardcore And Metal Festival. Featuring Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Keep Of Kalessin, Shadows Fall, Vital Remains, Hates Eternal, Municipal Waste, In Flames, Children Of Bodom, Megadeth, Tyr, Turisas, Eluveitie, Eisiferum, Braindrill, and about 20 other bands. It's in a small venue (under 1000), which means you can get right up in front. And it will be awesome.
Got my ticket!

 

[prorook]

Oh man, I cant wait for mayhem fest. With talent like disturbed, slipknot, dragonforce, five finger death punch, etc....whats not to love?











ughhh....the US sucks at having decent metal festivals

 

[False Joe]

Atleast you have some.

Maryland death fest for one.

And other stuff.

Britain has literally NOTHING. We have Bloodstock. I can't go to that now, so I'm fucked

 

[Ross]

All of you guys are mentioning awesome bands but you forgot:

Metaltown - AMON AMARTH, Dark Tranquillity!!!!!

Wacken - ATG, Carcass, Iron Maiden, Kreator etc...

These were the two me and my mates decided to go to

 

[False Joe]

Maiden's playing the majority of places though.

 

[waif]

Going to see Maiden on the day school ends. Gonna be awesome.

 

[False Joe]

You suck.

They're playing ONE fucking date in England. One. Fucking. Date.

In their home country.

Wtf.

Seriously.

 

[waif]

It's because England is all small and America is all big.

Seriously though, burn. They're playing 2 gigs in New Jersey, but 1 in England?
