wow….what a shit lineup. Get to see Hatebreed for the billionth time…woo hoo
hopefully they get some much better bands
HAHAHA! NILE?! THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE.
Indeed, free or not…right now this line-up blows…
……………Nile……….uhhh
hahahah no wonder this is free
Hurray for Lamb Of God (I should ask them about this tonight in Providence), and fucking NILE?! That’s an odd one. Mondo Generator will be interesting and probably booed offstage every night, sadly. Ankla? Can we get Ill Niño instead? Or Coretez? It’s all the same band. And yeah, fuck Hatebreed.
But, free Lamb Of God? I’ll probably go, but without any decent second stage bands other than Nile I’ll be going late it seems.
Hatebreed? God damn it, how are they still even around?
Lamb of God and Ozzy for free!
uhh, fuck yeah thats worth it.
I would rather Lamb of God on the 2nd stage, but whatever.
check out Ozzfest.com, look at the band line up – and look at scope Ozzy’s pic…
he looks like a member of AFI or something!
Hell Yes to: Lamb of God, Ankla, Mondo, and Showdown.
Is Circus a cover band?
Ankla and The Showdown are both sweet bands. LOG always puts on a solid show.
How the fuck can anyone complain about getting to see He that is Him for Free?
“Tickets for OZZFEST will be available from Ozzfest.com or LiveNation.com where specific links will direct you to certain sponsor sites where tickets can be secured.”
so I’m gonna guess it won’t be free in the long run. What is it, go to a sponsor, sign up for some shitty deal, give them your credit card number and then they give you a ticket?
NILE FOR FREE BABY
So we have to be sitting at our comps on June 12 to try and get tickets for this then?
no rammstien fuck ohh well its free
ankla buries ill nino and coretez. there is no musical comparison or even talent there in ill nino. they fucking play to a tape machine live. ankla at least play their instruments.
Nile, LOg and mondo generator are worth the trip for free.
and Lordi might be fun.
All of that sucks.
Watch a lordi video, they are nearly as over the top as GWAR.
Tickets really are free.
No signing up for a deal or anything. No shipping or any fees. Just free. Sponsors pay for the advertising opportunity which actually is quite huge.
I guess the goal of ‘Freefest’ is to break even as opposed to making a big profit. They didn’t profit last year, the tour suffered poor ticket sales and they came up at a loss[I think up in the millions!!], and I’m glad it did. Thats what happens when it sucks that much. And now this year its free =D
You’ll probably need a credit card number so they can simply enforce a ticket limit, you wouldn’t want some asshole renting out a whole amphitheater to himself!
lordi makes me gag
well, other than lamb of god, hatebreed, and maybe ankla, there really isn’t much to see here, yet at least.
ill nino plays to a tape machine live? damn.
Ozzfest went from Pantera, Soulfly, Fear Factory in previous years, to lamb of God and Lordi, its a joke, these bands blow… who would pay to see this crap
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! All of these fuckin bands suck BIG DOnkey balls, what the fuck where their thinking, or where they thinking at all. Lamb Of God and Ozzy are great but we need more badass bands to go , not these PUSSY ASS bands that think there hardcore but in reallity they suck dick. Fuck.
