STRAPPING YOUNG LAD
THE RED CHORD
WALLS OF JERICHO
A LIFE ONCE LOST
ALL THAT REMAINS

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

I concur that is absolutely the worst lineup they have ever had.

THat is one of the worst, only 2 good bands that I want to see, but no way in hell would I go.

 

[booB]

not the worst lineup ever, but the worst they've had in years.

 

[Bear]

The second stage is crap on crap!!!

I love Disturbed and SotD and LC would be cool to see but if I didn't go last year there is no way I am goign this year.

The only bands I would want to see are Strapping Young Lad, Bleeding Through, and Lacuna Coil. I haven't gone to Ozzfest since '99, and that was only because I got in free, due to the fact that my friends sister was dating the guitar player from the Deftones haha.

Its a very tragic Ozzfest and the HotTopic punks are just thrilled about it. I frequent that board and it went from ok to total shit in a day...

I can only hope that GIGANTOUR will bring some relief....

The only bands on Ozzfest that I like are Disturbed, BLS, LC, OzzY and SYL. That rest I wouldnt wipe my ass with.

Eh...it's not the greatest, but last year wasn't really that much better. Actually, there are probably more bands this year that I would rather see:

BTBAM - best new band...PERIOD (OK, not really new, but new in terms of exposure)
STRAPPING YOUNG LAD - simply kicks ass...Gene Hoglan owns!!
ALL THAT REMAINS - kicks Shadows Fall's ass...too bad this ex-SF singer doesn't have long dreads...maybe they'd get more attention too...hehe.
SOAD - May not be too impressive live, but still great band
LACUNA COIL - Cristina...need I say more...hehe.
UNEARTH - I missed these guys last time...didn't help they played at 10:30am.
NORMA JEAN - just curious considering all the hype they got on their last album
THE RED CHORD - just curious as well.

Oh...and just so you know, Chris & I will be inviting 3 of these bands for CPF 2007.

Biggest motivation is simply cuz we're tired of people thinking our fest is a "power metal" fest...time to really shake things up!

 

[Chris Lotesto]

well, you might have talked me into going, Rob! haha

seriously, most of the "power" next year will be coming
from Ralf Walter's ass!!
