Ozzfest

[JayKeeley]

While I think there's good reason to paint a lot of the Core bands with a broad brush, I also think there are some bands, who either rightly or wrongly, get lumped into that genre that write some really kick-ass songs.

Actually, when I think about it, and comparing to the rest of the bands, Arch Enemy would have probably been my #3 band yesterday after Maiden and Sabbath, had they not cancelled (or start so early in the day so I would have missed them anyway). After Maiden and Sabbath, they would have probably been the most "metal" oriented of bands on the roster.

Goddamn, I was so in dire need of some real metal yesterday amidst all that -core and corporate radio rock stuff. What that show needed was a Manticora, Destroyer 666, or Testament. With that said, I liked kicking back and drinking cold beer in the cool shade next to the hot sun.

Agreed. There's dozens of bands we could have come up with, for the second stage, that would have made this a much better tour.

By the way, Destroyer 666 is a name I've seen a number of times around here. What should I check out by them?

I'm sorry I didn't catch all of Mastadon's set. From the little bit I heard, they were really tight.

which part?

Two parts:

He's rage
He's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My heads spinnin' round and round

Sure you've heard it all before
He'll be the risk in the kiss
Might be anger on your lips
Might run scared for the door

He's goes ultrasonic on those parts.

D666's music defines Heavy Fucking Metal.

Get Unchain the Wolves or Phoenix Rising.

wasn't The Haunted playing as well? ... although all their material sounds all like one song nowadays.

 

[lurch70]

wow ... what a total crap lineup for 06 ... if this doesn't bury this festival forever, I don't know what will ...

I'd like to see Lacuna Coil, but not in that sort of setting. Same for Black Label Society.

I bet Disturbed puts on a pretty good show, "Believe" is a good rock album. But, there's no way in hell I can see myself ever going to Ozzfest. Considered it when Dimmu was headlining and still thought "fuck that." America needs more "European" style festivals NOW. And one of them needs to be located near where I am for fucks sake. Minnesota is a bit far away and the atmosphere here is so well suited for a pagan style festival in winter or a summer festival somewhere like Denver where it's cool year round. Any type of music would fit then.

a couple of those bands are of the christian metal variety i am pretty sure

I fail to see how a discussion on Ozzfest is relevant anymore
