Ozzfest 2007

[Jasonic]

Wow, completely amazing lineup thus far...

OZZY
LAMB OF GOD
LORDI
HATEBREED
NILE
Other bands that make you go "who?"

I will still believe it when I see it that tickets are truly free.

 

[Mountain King]

where's the amazing part?

Look up sarcasm in the dictionary.....

 

[GateXII]

So far....good thing the tickets are free.

Finally!! My turn to make a similar comment!

 

[ShadowLioness]

Though I will unapologetically admit that I am a Lamb of God fan, I wouldn't attend this fest even if Novembers Doom was headlining just on sheer principal.

Well hey, LORDI is playing the mainstage, which means THE END RECORDS will be involved somehow from a marketing perspective. So, never say never!!!!

NOTE TO VITO - It's hot in the summer so ya may want to invest in printing up some NOV DOOM wife-beaters.....

True enough. I think what I was getting at is just not supporting this fest at all.

I gotcha...
I only went in 2005.

Maiden in the house means Jasonic in the house...

No need to apologize...Lamb of God is a great band...or at least they used to be before their albums started sounding the same. But they're definitely a band that sounds better on CD than live...too noisy & indistinguishable live.

Also, I wouldn't mind seeing Nile live...but other than that...

I'm curious to see who headlines too. If LoG is anyone near the headlining spot on the main stage, it'll be obvious what the fest's budget has become...and why it's free now.

Man I had to sit through Lamb of God last year twice during the two Gigantour shows I went to.... two of the worst live sets I've ever seen, these guys so want to be Pantera it's not even funny.

 

[Jasonic]

I had to suffer through Lamb of God when they opened for Slayer last summer.
I know some of you like them, but to me they were atrocious.

 

[Rev. Clayton]

I am surprised to see a lot of non LOG fans. I am not really one myself, but also don't hate them...I just never really got into their music. Never seen them live...but by the way it's being discussed here I'm sure I wouldn't be very happy.

 

[The Invisible Guest]

As The Palaces Burn & Ashes Of The Wake are very good albums in my opinion. I didn't care for the new one much at all. I've also never seen them live .. don't care to either.

[ShadowLioness]

They are very Pantera-esque. There's no denying that and that is also what initially drew me to them. I will also agree that they are better on disc than live. They actually sound better with earplugs.

I spin their older tunes when I'm pissed off and just wanna shake my fists in the air and bang on the steering wheel.

 

[GateXII]

Actually, riff-wise...I would say that LoG are more trying to be like Slayer than Pantera...and actually do sound more like Slayer than Pantera...IMO

Yeah, just don't get Rob talking about LoG and Slayer at 2AM at JJ Kelleys

I knew you'd bring that up eventually.

 

[ShadowLioness]

Well, I won't bring this up at 2AM anywhere then! I'm still sticking to my Pantera theory. That's what I hear...but now I'm gonna have to go back and listen for Slayer. Dammit!

 

[Jasonic]

I knew you'd bring that up eventually.

I had never even heard a lick of Lamb of God's music until this past summer when I saw them live, so back then when you made your drunken ramblings about them, all I could do was the "Ummmm....ok Rob!" response..

(BTW - Where is my Twelfth Gate demo CD dammit!!!!)

I thought I mailed it to you...no?

If not, it's in my gig bag & you would've gotten it had you come to our last show.
