Right on, Halford is so dreamy. He makes me feel comfortable enough with myself that I would be proud to strut around in tight spandex and a leather vest. - Thu, 29 Jul 2004 8:19am

Yeah, I definately heard that it was Priest Fest instead of Ozzfest and that they stole the show most definately. I was a dork and ended up watching all the dvd's of their shows the entire day, it was the next best thing if I couldn't have been there. Can't wait for their own tour. Halford likes to tour with Dickenson, keep your fingers crossed.

Any one sneak a camera in or anything? And who brought me back a gift ^_~ - Thu, 29 Jul 2004 4:21pm

My Ozzfest review:

Second Stage: Some good bands, some trying too hard. I liked Devildriver, Throwdown, Lamb of God, of course Slipknot was the best (they scared me at Ozzfest '99). Lots of Slipknot fans there.

First Stage: Black Label were all right, Super Joint ritual were the biggest egotistical losers on the planet and wouldn't shut up. The singer kept talking about war, Bush, blah blah blah and the crowd were screaming Shut the Fuck Up and play.

The crowd went nuts for Slayer and in my books, although I don't listen to them much and have none of their albums, were THE most professional and tight band there. They played excellent and didn't bore anyone with cheap talk. Just laid down their music, whipped up the crowd and left the stage.

Judas Priest was great. Again, the crowd went nuts and Halford was great. First song, Halford was standing in the centre of their backdrop of an eye and dove into Electric Eye. Half way thru their set they announced again they're back together and a new backdrop slid across behind them with United on it, maybe their new album. Crowd went crazy again. My only beef with Priest was Halford walked off the stage at the end of every song...didn't know what they were doing or whether they were finished or not. Glen Tiptronic and KK DownSyndrome were good and did their usual guitar wanking solos. Halford's voice was good, more screamy Painkiller-style but the guy could not hold a note for longer than 3 or 4 seconds. May have wreaked or weakened his voice on tour for now. He was cool and had the most awesome metal outfit on � check the Ozzfest website for pictures. Everyone appeared to love them and they were so many cougars shaking their asses it wasn�t funny.

Black Sabbath was great. Toni Iommi is so classy and together. He look so poised, but relaxed, grinning at Ozzy and his antics. I liked his custom fretboards on his guitars of the Sabbath symbol. Geezer Butler was outstanding � didn�t realize how good the guy was � he was all over the neck and played faster than we could probably hear. They did a cool thing with the video on the big screens � they had different templates like backgrounds with video overtop of it and split the video up, played some creepy war videos during a couple songs.

Ozzy is back, kids. When I saw him at Ozzfest �99 he could barely walk, barely raise his hands over his heads, but he was feisty! Jumping around, up and down and throwing his proverbial buckets of water at the ground, getting everyone amped. His arms look all muscular again and he was really good and upbeat. Still can�t understand the guy but his voice is still pretty good. Had a great time, was with a great group of people, lots of weirdness and wackos there at Ozzfest. I recommend going simply for the eye candy. Will post more if I can remember.

Cheers,

Didn't go, my singer did. Said it was great after Phil ranted how great Superjoint was that Dimmu came out and said we have 20 minutes and we'll let the music do the talking, then tore shit up.
Said Hatebreed really got the mosh happenig.

It's kinda sad how Dimmu was the best band that played it eh? A waste of $150 plus travel costs if you ask me. And all for 40 minutes of a few bands that ya like. Nuuuumetal! - Mon, 2 Aug 2004 10:08pm

Yeah, I forgot to review Dummy Burger - they were good, but they played around 7PM and it was still quite bright out so it was hard to take them seriously, dark-metal wise, but they were professional and rocked. Thanks for posting the pictures - Ozzfest site sucks for posting pictures. - Tue, 3 Aug 2004 8:00am

Dimmu, Priest and Sabbath were the definately the best in my opinion. No one seemed too interested during Dimmu's set :( I guess those Americans just don't appreciate black metal or something...

I don't understand why all you guys are saying 'numetal'?! Sure, most of the second stage bands are numetal (who pays to just see the second stage bands anyway?), but all the headlining bands are certainly NOT; Seeing Sabbath, Priest and Dimmu (and meeting them!) was absolutely worth my $200 bucks.

Cheeks, you know i brought you a gift ;) - Mon, 9 Aug 2004 1:19am
