Ok well the rumors are flowing.. heres what we got so far:

Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/bl...ewsitemID=32912

Anthrax Among The Living Lineup http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/bl...ewsitemID=31908

Black Label Society, Rob Zombie, Mudvayne, Killswitch Engage http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/bl...ewsitemID=33091

Megadeth - http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/bl...ewsitemID=33114

Shadows Fall and The Haunted http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/bl...ewsitemID=33411

Keep in mind that these are only rumors and the only bands you can count on playing are Sabbath and A Dozen Furies (They won Battle For Ozzfest)

So far this looks promising.

That's right, second stage bitch.

didnt megadeth dissband? if there still there tell me so i can have a party!

Go party your ass off.

They need some Death metal...

well it is ozzfest were talkin about...

__________________

I agree with CC, though. They need some lethal shit on the bill. Meshuggah should play again. \m/

I'd love to see Malevolent Creation play Ozzfest, although I seriously doubt they would accept if they got the invite. Most death metal bands would probably decline. Association with Ozzfest is probably 'un-kvlt.'

__________________

actually dave is talking about writting a new album, after the System has failed he said he was done, but now he is saying hes got new stuff and booking studio time.

im pretty sure he's done with Megadeth, and writing a solo album

ozfest is joining download here in lil old england ( for any of u that didnt know / that actully care )

KSE and Shadows Fall main stage? Just me, but I don't like.

i agree. the second stage kicks ass though.

Damn its coming here a month earlier than last year!! Awesome! I like the all the Europe bands I see. Good shit indeed.

This is gonna kick ass, this and Sound of The Underground... oh yes.

Sucks to not see Anthrax on the Main Stage like rumored.. but im seeing the Among The Living lineup in Chicago on May 1st anyways... so HA!

Chicago kicks ass, thats why their only play with that lineup on America twice, both time in CHITOWN NIGGA

__________________

Oh and According to this: http://ozzfest.com/bands.html

KSE is on the Second stage, with two spots on the Main.. One I assume is Maiden the other MIGHT actually be Anthrax.

__________________

you are correct sir. i got my info from www.theprp.com

heck this line up doesnt look so bad.. well, now that i know they are coming here, i think i might go. last year was awesomer, but those fucks didnt come here.

__________________

... No Slayer... but hey they got Maiden... and they are no where near to me!

Maiden, yaay. LA though, dammit pretty far. This is just me, but I'd rather have In Flames switch with Shadows Fall. And fucking shit, do I wanna see Maiden before they get too old and never tour near my place again.

same... hopefully they will play some old stuff

i say that, but it really doesnt matter.... i cant go

i hope to go.

I am glad that Anthrax is not on it because I thought it was pretty lame if they were going to use the Among the Living line-up. John Bush is a better singer than Belladonna anyday and I enjoy the new line up more. Iron Maiden will be cool..............and they are going to blow away Sabbath. Oh yeah, why does everyone love Shadows Fall...I think they sound like a weak rip off of stuff I listened too when I was a kid.

John Bush has monotone voice.. boring. His stage presence is pretty weak also.

Theya re still doing the Among The Living lineup in Chicago and in europe. And their is TWO slots on the main stage.. one for Maiden.. the other msot likely Anthrax.

__________________

Yeah, don't know why a band like Shadows Fall is main stage and In Flames is second... How much do these Ozzfest tickets go for? And how does this whole thing work out, like what time do you guys usually go there and do you get to see all the bands or what? I've never been to Ozzfest.

Shadows Fall sells more than In Flames.. thats why. Plus they have already played the Second Stage.

In Chicago the lawn seats are $30, 2nd palvilion $60, and first palvilion like $80ish

You wake up at 6.. drive to the venue, get their at 8ish.. realize your early so you goto 7/11 and get big slurpee's and 2 hotdogs for a $.. and dont forget to piss. Then start moshing and dont stop until 11:30 PM... try and not fall asleep on the way home, stop at IHOP... eat, try not to fall asleep (COFFEE!!) then get home and sleep for 3 days.

And thats Ozzfest.

__________________

I will be seeing As I Lay Dying twice this year because I'm going to watch them for the first time nextmonth.

Wow, I'm amazed It Dies Today made the bill, I just downloaded one of their songs and I can't get it out of my head.

__________________

well, the second mystery band has been announced..... Mudvayne. fucking Mudvayne. Anthrax is 20 times the band Mudvayne is, no matter what line up they have.

fuck ozzfest. most of the bands there are shit. it's a shitty festival alltogether anyway.

you guys are such pussies

__________________

Yeh, mostly metalcore bullshit but Im going for Iron Maiden, Sabbath, BLS, Tha Haunted, Arhc Enemy, In Flames (If they play old stuff), The Black Dahlia Murder.. ect

__________________

I'm being forced to go to the borefest 2005. It was decent last year with slayer, judas priest, and black sabbath in a row. This year has a god awful line up though, ewww. Does this mean nu-metal is popular again? Well I'll probably enjoy Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath is always cool live.

Yes, I'm dying to go, before I would've said no, but who can pass up In Flamers, BLT, Maiden, and Black Sandwich all playing together.

Screw Mudvayne, I am not going. One of the reasons why I wanted to goto Ozzfest was to see Anthrax who I thought were going to be the secret band, but no, they whip out a horrible band. Another reason is that Maiden is NOT playing Powerslave, which pissed me off.

__________________

Why not Powerslave?

damn.. now ill never hear "Bring the Noise" live!!!

__________________

there is one nu metal band on the bill, douche bag

Douche Bag is nu metal? Never heard of them. So why would they be playing on Ozzfest? Stupid name, too.

i think the line-up is cool.. beats last year's.

__________________

I thought last years was good, Darkest Hour, Unearth and JUDAS PRIEST WITH HALFORD!

Priest alone was worth my ticket price.

__________________

Maiden is only playing their first four albums, which is great, because I love older Maiden. Unfortunetly, Powerslave is their 5th album. Go figure, dammit. I would much rather hear Powerslave over Piece Of Mind, but thats not going to happen.

__________________

I dunno, Powerslave is good, but I think Aces, 2 min., and Powerslave are the only real standouts on that album (but yeah, others are fucking good too). Dickinson is a good singer, but it doesn't sound that good with him singing D'annio's (or whatever) songs. I wish they could do the song "Fear of the Dark" though.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/bl...ewsitemID=35228

A new Mystery Main Stage act and a new Mystery Secon Stage act..

Rumors say Velvet Revolver will be filling in for Maiden on the last 10 stops, Im glad I live in Chicago....

velvet revolver sucks.

...good thing Minneapolis isn't one of the last 10 dates! MAIDEN!

is it this tour maiden will play every song of the 1st 4 albums.

1=iron maiden
2=killers
3=the number of the beast
4=piece of mind

Their playing a one hour set...

__________________

...they could play all those songs super fast and fit it into 1 hour!!

__________________

Iron Maiden, grind style!

They do speed up their songs live... but still...

__________________

Why are they doing this, only the first 4?

On the Ozzfest site, it says Maiden are playing July 15-August 20, why's that? And if they are, I can't fucking miss it cuz Aug. 20 is the day they're coming to my area .

Yah, this is either the first or second ozzfest line up you've ever seen. It's been nu-metal for a loooong time, and it's sad that a nu-metal band would make the main stage. I thought they had shooken that all together with last years really good line up, well decent anyways. But I've decided that Maiden is worth all the bullshit, and black sabbath always rocks.

..but hail to the alcoholic guitarist, Slash. so i wouldn't care either way.

Bah, Zakk Wylde can outdrink him.

And out shred him .

Haha for sure!

true true.. but truthfully, some bls stuff bores me.

i haven't ever heard a song(that i can remember) where he does some insane taping, or sweeps.

__________________

Cuz that's not his style....

Zak dosent sweep, or do any EVH style tapping. He does more uniqie shit.. like doing a divebomb type sound on a les paul.

Figure that one out.

__________________

Zakk doesn't, but he sure as hell can.

It would have been cooler if CoB did Ozzfest this year. Mmmmm, they haven't had a houston date since a few ozzfests ago, pretty cool.....

__________________

he plays a note say for e.g a pinch harmonic
then push down on the body towards yourself basically where the toggle switch is on a les paul push down on that part of the body.
he actually got it from randy rhoads.

I dunno, as much as I like them, I'd rather see them playing in smaller venues just with like 2 or 3 other bands.

i cant see COB and their flashy keyboards playing on mainstage Ozzfest.. itd be cool tho.

__________________

If Dimmu played at 4 in the afternoon then anything is possible..

No, they only prefer to play in the darkest hours of midnight, while lit by the piercing glows of the moon, so necro! Yeah, not only can I not picture COB playing at Ozzfest, but I don't want them to.

WICKED FUCKING WISDOM?????!! narraAAGGHGHGHGHAAAAHH!!

*explodes*

i just read the new Guitar World and, in an interview with Scott Hull, it says something about Pig Destroyer playing ozzfest. It might be only one day, but i await news of this

He says "Mastodon, and not only because their getting us into Ozzfest"

Maybe to watch and not play?

__________________

oh, damn. i bet you're right.

oh, by the way, one SMALL consolation...

Wicked Wisdom will be opening the second stage... which means they will be playing at like 8 or 9 in the morning. At least no one will see them.

they didnt do a very good job, Velvet Revoler, that is so weak.
Plus there not coming close to tampa, little pricks.

I say if they want to mosh then let them enjoy, but don't bring any music that isn't going to be enjoyed by others. If they are metalheads then thay are going to have to work hard to win peoples good opinion of their music. I do believe that they may actually like metal music but what the media tells us about them doesn't reflect that. Lets see what happens.
