This Year's Ozzfest

I gotta ask...what do you guys mean when you say 'tailgating'? Over here it means you drive far too close to the driver in front of you...
It also means that here. However, it also means getting to an event early, and hanging out in the parking lot of said event, and eating and drinking. It's most common at football games. People get to the games hours ahead of time, BBQ, drink, hang out, etc.

Heh, good point. I guess I was thinking of you coming into Philly and taking the ferry over with me. Seriously though, if you've never had problems, than shit yeah, park there, I'll meet you guys at the car and we'll tailgate our asses off
Well, I've never had a problem, because I've never gone to Camden. I've never even driven through it. And if I did have to drive through it at night, I'd treat red lights as if they were stop signs.

Let me talk to a cop friend of mine, whose familair with the area, and see what he thinks.

Ohhhh, like Heavy Metal Parking Lot at the Judas Priest show or whatever it was called? Soooooooooooooooooooo cool! Closest we had was meeting up with friends at a park and getting ratted on cheap cider, then moving on to the venue singing and shouting and having fun. We're too old to do that now :( :rolleyes: really, I love my friends, but sometimes they are such dull wankers (plus there's no good gigs to go to round here really, and the ones that are good only two or three people want to go to now :loco: )

Enjoy it, lads :)
 
Anyone see this from Dave Mustaine?

"I wanted to tell you that we have been considering many bands, and although it is not 100% official yet, we have agreed to take the spectacular ***** ******* out as our very special guests and friends. We have also agreed with the mighty band **** ******. This will be awesome!!!!!"

"This is going to be part of a 5-6 band 'personal favorites of mine' type tour, and we are securing the last 2-3 bands as we speak. And although this will not be an outdoor or arena size festival in all of the markets, we will be playing stadiums in our heads."

Know what the asterisks stand for? How about Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden?

:rock:
 
Maybe I'm reading it out of context, but is he pruposely being facetious when he says he's taking them out on the road, or that they won't be playing outdoor or arena size festivals??

Either way, does that mean Megadeth are joining OzzFest this year??!!! Woohoo!
 
Am I the only one that finds it hysterical that this tour for the METAL YOUTH OF TODAY is headlined by a bunch of dudes with the median age of 58?

Yes, I believe it is a true example of Cryptic Writings. Actually, he says it won't be an outdoor or arena size festival in "all of the markets". I'm sure that means it will for "some" of the markets.

I fully expect Megadeth to be added to the bill.
 
There's a rumor on the Opeth board that they might be on the bill, in a perfect world they would be at least second billed and Ozzfest wouldn't have to turn itself into another nostalgia tour to survive, but I digress...as far as Dave's message, I doubt even his ego would allow him to refer to Black Sabbath, even in code, as a special guest...

Yeah, but look what happened previously. We got five years of nuMetal support acts!! Fuck the "metal youth of today" - in OzzFest language, those are mallcore kids and gromits that might have a Behemoth MP3 somewhere on their hardrive. God forbid we go back to the days of Marilyn Manson, Korn, Slipknot, and Papa Roach headlining. What a state of affairs that was.... :ill:

I mean, seriously, Papa fucking Roach.... :yell:

hmmm, so you'll have all the geezers with leather jackets and patches at the main stage and then have all the metalcore and mallcore kids at the second stage. haha

and then you have SoaD fans.... :yuk:
 
Are System fans chodes? I don't think my 4 friends and myself that like them qualify as fanboys, and I've never been to a show or anything. Do they all look like Serj? I could see that being pretty amusing.
 
That's brilliant. I don't have to concern myself with a single band on the second stage! I can just stay put.

@Dark One - you must use the powers of PM (or e-mail me at work). Can't get into RC mail from work you see...
