GOAT!


oh, was that rhetorical?

That lineup is really pathetic. There is a few good bands but they are so far apart. They should drop all the 'headliners' and call it "I Paid Money to Play and I am a MidWest Death Metal Band"

 

[Demonspell]

You must be this naive to Koshick's corrupt practices and have at least one poorly distributed demo to play this show...

 

[avi]

I can't believe anyone at all is still willing to play at this yearly fiasco

 

[Novembers Paul]

I remember when MMF was THE show to attend every year. It's a shame it has fallen apart like this. I thought last years line up was bad, this year is awful. There are no headliners on this list. Misfits, and Death Angel? Didn't Death Angel post to Blabbermouth that were not playing the fest, and they were added to the list without any confirmation? Jack needs to either care about this fest again, and pay for some great headliners, or just stop it. But, no now that Jack books the WWE events in 5 states, he no longer cares about this fest. It's just extra money in the pocket from the bands who have to pay to play.

I blame Don Decker as much as Koshick

Dude, that band is bad. They're a crappy bar band at best.

 

[FalseTodd]

Well, I think Prong qualifies as a headliner.

 

[FuSoYa]

I like that band idiom, with the glockenspiel or whatever they use. They never get any credit.

 

[Greg B.]

I like how people basically began telling me Prong was good because the band broke up.

 

[azal]

I saw Prong open up for Ozzy in 96.

I don't remember if they were good or not though.

 

[chupe666]

yeah, Idiom are interesting. they and another band called Java are from around chicago, and i sort of know one guitarist (Alan?) from Java who is good friends with idiom. Java are sort of Voivod-ish; Nagle might like them actually. i have a semi-recent mini-cd at home.

UPDATE:
The former potential headliners are now opening for Ozzfest.

Ozzfest 2004 featuring Ozzy Osbourne; Judas Priest; Slayer; Dimmu Borgir; Superjoint Ritual; Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society; Slipknot; Hatebreed; Lamb of God; Atreyu; Every Time I Die; Lacuna Coil

man i hope dimmu borgir brings their top hats and dork makeup

 

[chupe666]

i just realized the title has the word Poll in it so when it's on the index page it says "Poll: Poll:"

i'm avoiding work today.

 

[chupe666]

we used to pronounce the one guitarist's name Silenoz "SILLY NOZ"

 

[Josh Seipp]

I don't understand how Lacuna Coil is still getting shows.
