I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of Ozzfest in the world. I only went in 05 because of Maiden....but I am hoping this "free" thing will be different. I know alot will bash the fest but I am actually really looking forward to seeing who's announced...especially now. So far, these bands have been announced
Main Stage
Ozzy
Lamb of God
Lordi
Second Stage
Hatebreed
Mondo Generator
Nile
Ankla
Circus Diablo
The Showdown
Granted, I am not a huge fan of ANY of those bands BUT I realized this. It may just be me but I'm thinking that the majority of those bands minus Ozzy, LOG, and Hatebreed, have yet to establish a "big draw" or headlining status in the US. I could most definantly be wrong about that, and if I am, please tell me, It's just that I haven't heard a whole lot about those other bands.
My hope is this: I read somewhere that those bands that are on the bill CAME TO SHARON as I was under the impression this whole thing was basically an "invitation". I don't care too much for LOG or Hatebreed but I think they are extremely cool to come forward and do this when they could probably easily go on their own tour and make alot more money doing it. As for the other bands, I believe they are taking a risk...If Ozzfest is indeed free, they are playing it in an attempt to establish themselves here in America and gain a larger fanbase. I'm hoping that this could open a door to alot of bands that are not that big in America..Ex: On myspace, I noticed Circle II Circle has Ozzfest in their top friends...I know that doesn't mean anything but wouldn't it be pretty damn cool if Circle II Circle ended up on the bill? I'm probably completely wrong about all of this but I just thought I would share my thoughts with you all.
Imagine seeing bands like Circle II Circle, Brainstorm, Evergrey, or Mercenary on Ozzfest. The chances of it happening may not be that good but I could see it as a possibility considering some of the bands that have been announced. Even if those bands did have a good fanbase in America, it could still help them out.
I realize that most of you have already saw the bands I mentioned...but I haven't as most of them completely skip my area and I don't have the funds right now to make alot of trips. This will be my first PP this year and I cannot express how excited I am about seeing all of the bands on the bill (I never thought I would see VANDEN PLAS live!) I just think it would be nice to see some other deserving bands finally get the recognition they deserve.
I'm sry for making this so long and I know alot may say "Well I wouldn't want those bands to play OZZFEST" but from a personal stand-point...If any of the bands I have mentioned were to play the show, I would be there in a heartbeat.
