It sucks that it's not coming to Atlanta but that's not stopping me from going! The line up kills. Who's going? I'm going to the Nashvile date.

I'm assuming that is the closest one to Atlanta.

When is it, and how much? Those of us who are broke ass college kids need to know these things.

A couple of years ago, I think lawn tickets for Ozzfest were 75. I'm guessing they're more than that this year. After ticketmaster's rapage fee, I'm gonna guess that you can't get into Ozzfest this year for less than 100 bucks. Just a guess though...

I remember seeing Ozzy in 1992 for the tour supporting the "No More Tears" album - the tour was called "No More Tours" and was supposed to be his retirement tour. Sharon's a damn slave driver... $100+ tickets (for lawn???), 2nd stage bands having to pay that bitch to play, and probably lack of shade for an all day sweat-fest will keep me @ home listening to cds...

SMNnews has the time slots for the bands posted <a href='http://www.smnnews.com/index.php?subact ... rom=&ucat=&' target='_blank'>here</a>. Some really strange things at this year's Ozzfest, like the first band goes on at 930am (sucks for them), most bands on the second stage only play a 20 minute set, and Judas Priest plays longer than Black Sabbath, with Sabbath only playing an hour while Priest plays for 75 minutes. All things that kinda raised my eyebrow, but it's not like it's coming to Atlanta anyway. :P

20 minute sets? that's like 5 songs, maybe 6 or even 4. I guess that's what they gotta do if they want to fit all the bands on it. But Black Sabbath should have 75 minutes since they're headlining. I agree, it's strange.

I'd love to see Priest and several other bands on the bill, and it's cool that the mallcore bands are gradually being shifted out of the picture at OzzFest....but I'm not paying that much money when some of the bands I'd like to see are playing at 9:30 am for a measly 20 minutes. Is it any wonder that Opeth declined to tour with Ozzfest? "Hi, we're Opeth. This is 'Black Rose Immortal.'" <song is played> "Thank you, Nashville! Goodnight!" And it's &#036;75,000 for the 'privilege,' too.

I went last year primarily to see Cradle, and I was lucky enough to score a free ticket (sometimes it's good to have, of all things, a goth connection here and there), but travel, and pay the big ticket price? Nahhh.

I went to the one in Massachusetts yesterday and it was fucking awseome! We bought the tickets at the window yesterday and all they had were a few front row seats! So that's what we got, well, the second row... Holy shit it was so awesome to get to see those bands up close! I got a Slayer and a Black Sabbath pick. During Judas Priest's last song, Halford came out on a Harley. Dimmu Borgir was fuckin' great! I was one of the few people up there who actually knew the words...Galder noticed. Phil Anselmo didn't do as much ranting as he usually does but they did a good job too. And so did BLS. And then there was Ozzy! He forgot a few of the words but hey, he's old! Iommi made up for that, though! I also saw this girl punch this guy right in between the eyes for a BLS drumstick...and neither of them got it. I can't wait till I go again in Nashville! :m3t4l:

I went to the one in Nashville and Black Sabbath performed -well Ozzy- way better than he did in Massachusetts. He was more energetic and he didn't mumble as much. hehe. This time around, I got autographs- Lacuna Coil's, Hatebreed's, and Kerry King's! And I got a sunburn from hell... did anybody else go to the Nashville date?
