"Last year, though, she said, the fees earned by bands, including about $325,000 a show for the group SYSTEM OF A DOWN, almost sank the festival."
I cannot believe this statement...I heard Maiden was paid 80K a gig, so how could SOAD get that much PER show?!?!!?
"Sponsors will pick up the tab for the tickets, bands will not be paid to perform and expenses will be covered from sales of food, drinks and merchandise."
Bands will not be paid to perform....yeah and they can make enough money off of merch to warrant a 30+ city tour?!?!
"The show will be general admission. The seats will be first-come, first-to-sit-there-and-watch-the-show-in-that-seat basis."
Yeah.. that should make the festival nice and safe

Nothing's for free... show me the drinks and merchandising prices.
It would cost a lot actually. Imagine the amount of money you'd have to spend on beer to forget that you're attending Ozzfest!

Have they announced any bands yet? I can only assume it will be typical crap like BLS, Incubus, etc. Maybe even worse this year if it's free? Remeber the good old days when you'd get bands like Megadeth, Motorhead, Slayer, Tool, etc at Ozzfest?
I'm a little skeptical about the "free" nature of the show. I bet they're gonna be playing commericals on the jumbotron while the bands are paying. I can just envision the lead singer saying "this next song is brought to you by our friends at Hot Topic..." before each song.

It's too bad they wouldn't make a touring festival in the states wit Classic/Power/Prog metal bands. It would have to stay in small theaters, but would still beat the hell outta ozzfest. 
2004/2005 would have been the years to go.

Ozzy's not even playing this year, is he? I don't know about you, but I can't afford to get wasted on $10 beers. Ain't cheap at ozzfest!

I am...Madcheese!
If it's free and the bands are mildly good I'll go and bring my own booze and smoke.
I'd be drunk before the show starts anyway.
That's how I've always done it.

lol you just love to cause trouble! After the eggcident on ozzfest dot coms forum boards they'd yank anything said negative about ozzfest, Sharon or Ozzy. Let's see how long this one stays up on myspace!

I am! The problem is that the guys at MySpace don't take shit (you saw what happened with the logo) and I use that space a lot actually with local people.
Now if I can make another account just for the purpose of spam the Ozzpest...

THANK YOU!
Exactly what I've been saying all along. Yes, those are the two years I went.
