What happened to Ozzy retiring?

haha no maiden then?

Ozzy apparently IS performing, I guess that was just a rumor or something.

But yeah, I can't stand this year's lineup.

Yea not such a great lineup...

SOAD! Huzaa!

^^Huzaa is a word not said enough.

Ozzy, Black Label and Strapping Young Lad will be cool. The rest I've either seen before or am not particuarly fussed about.This Message Edited On 03.09.06

I can't wait for Walls of Jericho, personally.

This lineup is pathetic. Worst of all the OZZfests so far.

I agree this is pathetic. Atreyu? pshhh....

At least that means Atreyu won't be on Warped Tour.

Yeah, that'd suck. Not that Warped Tour is all that good anyway. It's just a bunch of pop bands in black screaming their guts out.

Wow that line up is awful...

I'll be honest I'd actually like to see Atreyu at Warped since I missed them last year and I'm not into them enough to just go see them headline. (if that makes sense)

AH I should have gone to Ozzfest last year and seen Maiden and Shadows Fall as well as a good chunk of the second stage. I was actually planning on going this year until I saw how bad the line up was.

This Message Edited On 03.09.06

anyone have bets on who the "MAJOR MAIN STAGE BAND TO BE ANNOUNCED ON MAY 23RD" is?

No Dillinger, no go.

this is bad news for the future of ozzfest.

I would have actually preferred the rumored (yet completely unrealistic) lineup from a few weeks ago.

The only band I havnt seen/ would want to see would be Between the Buried and Me... but thats cause there awesome.

Ergh, that's a crappy lineup...

Lacuna Coil is a guilty pleasure (don't be dissing them :mad, and SYL is excellent, BLS decent. The rest I could care less about, and/or hate.

what the hell...i thought ozzfest was supposed to be cool...now they got all this metalcore crap on there...and kick hatebreed off the mainstage for gods sake...i mean i dont have a probably with them, but their more of a 2nd stage...they're the kinda act that belongs closer to the people, you know what i mean? cause when i was at ozzfest last yr the closet you could get to the mainstage was about 30 feet from it or somethin like that...

metalcore is the "hip" metal right now so of course ozzfest would try to get as many tickets as they can get sold by haivng the "hip" metal.

i heard ozzfest makes u sit in seats during the shows if this is true then wtf? how can u mosh?

What a shitty lineup!

Ouch that hurts.

Mostly metalcore bands this band of course as with the ever growing population of mediocre metalcore band floods the scene.

u can't have semi-retirement if he said he wouldn't perfrm no more shows ever...

I'd go for Ozzy, Norma Jean, The Red Chord and BTBAM.

Ozzy announced last year after the tour that it would be his last, but the next year he would perform at select cities, its no surprise hes on it again this year, but he wont play at every venue.

And this lineup is crap. I dont see how Black Label Society got put back to the second stage after being on the first last year. Im excited about SOAD. I really wished Avenged Sevenfold, Children of Bodom, and In Flames were going... IF would never do it again cause they hated Ozzfest last year. They could have done a much better job with this lineup. Im definitely going to Sounds of the Underground though

i want to go to gianatour

"victoryrecordsfan" how have you not heard of the majority of these bands...it's all in the same circle...uh,whatever...

the main stage looks good but the second stage list blows...why is black label doing the second stage?????

not gonna lie, that lineup blows

im not going

If youre not going, you should go to the Sounds of the Underground tour. Triviums playing...

Trivum sucks major ass

"roynameless," i listen to metal my ears hear and i think might be good. I also listen to any metal that sounds good and hate the metal that sounds bad.

"Bfhurricane," SOG sucked last year and it's goign to suck this year. G2 will be the best summer festival again this year

i just remembered i had some syl songs on my computer b/c i borroed metal for masses and the 100 mp3 cd and so far so good

"Victoryrecordsfan," I was just telling "Trivium" that he might want to go to Sounds of the Underground because Trivium is playing, i just assumed that he liked them. Anyways, Ozzfest sucks this year. I went last year and it was one of the most fun days of my life, but theres only a few bands here that id really enjoy seeing.

Sounds of the Underground has Trivium, As I Lay Dying, Behemoth, and In Flames. Its going to be a pretty kickass show. G2 will be really good too id love to go to that

last year sounded awesome AND THEY HAD BURY YOUR DEAD!!!!!!!!!!

I dont like Bury Your Dead. I cant get a taste for them, and they didnt play to well when I saw them at Ozzfest. There were a ton of other bands better than them last year that made the show utterly amazing (Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden anyone?)

This line up major crap, most of the good bands from last year are gone, I sure as hell hope Shadows Fall get the opening, or at least something worth listening to, and BLS on second Stage WTF WTF WTF, you would think Zakk would have a main stage golden reservation for bieng so tight with ozzy! this has ruined a good week

Ozzfest just became very overestimated...what a letdown

im am soooooooooo going to this years concert hit up buffalo yeahhh i like seeing hatebreed and lacuna coil in thier and alll of them on second satge is gonna be sick!

yeah this line up sucks.. the main stage might be alright to see but the second stage doesnt have all that to offer the only good band is probably black label
