| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2006 2:17pm - the_reverend ""] I think it's funny that BSL was mainstage last year, but are second stage this year. haha |
| __________________________________ [Jul 31,2006 2:30pm - ShadowSD ""] Wow, I'm actually glad I'm not going this year. I would watch Black Label Society to see Zakk rip, I'm curious about Dragonforce because I've never heard them before, and I'd like to see Lacuna Coil, but aside from that I have ZERO interest in seeing any of the bands on this fest aside from Ozzy. And I'm not sitting through Hatebreed, Avenge Sevenfold, an hour of Disturbed, and an HOUR PLUS of System of Down Syndome to watch Ozzy play again, even if it's pristine weather. A shitload of heat, humidity, and rain just reinforce to me that I'm making the right choice not seeking lawn seats in the seventh muddy circle of hell. |

| _____________________________ [Jul 31,2006 2:43pm - pam ""] I can't wait to see how many people pass out from the heat cause the water costs six bucks. |
| ________________________________________________ [Jul 31,2006 2:47pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] haha when dave and i were leaving sounds of the underground actually saw a bitch passout next to her BF in line to buy an icee, cause you know sugar is the best thing in that type of weather. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 31,2006 2:48pm - SteveOTB ""] $6.00 for fucking water? I was thinking more on the lines of $4.00, I hope Yahoo has a tent there this year, I'll just drink free samples all day. |

| _____________________________ [Jul 31,2006 4:19pm - pam ""] succubus said:rev and i get free bottled water w00t w00t i doubt it's $6 That's how much I paid the year before last, they were good sized bottles but in that heat they weren't enough. I didn't buy any water last year, I just took a friends empty bottle and filled it all day in the bathroom. Gross, but I'm all set with blacking out. The beer was $8.00... Fuck Ozzfest, I'm glad I've never paid to go. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2006 4:31pm - the_reverend ""] what sucks is with the set up there 2:30pm to 7pm is the "sweet spot" for lighting on the second stage. the really realy nice lighting is 5:30-6:30.. and we'll be at the other stage which is completely covered. oh well. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 31,2006 10:54pm - ShadowSD ""] Just want to warn everyone who might be cursed enough to attend... my guitar student went to this yesterday in CT, and there was no Ozzy performance at all. I'm not shitting you, System of a Down apparantely HEADLINED the main stage with a two hour set, as if they thought they could pull off what Iron Maiden did last year. Enjoy your overpriced ticket for crap. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 31,2006 10:58pm - Cecchini nli ""] they released alot of press about ozzy only doing 10 dates on ozzfest this year, boston is one of them. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 31,2006 11:09pm - wade nli ""] i'd rather abandon my family and become a filthy drug mule than go to this show. I went to the 2003 one I think, to shoot one second stage band and it was the purest of suck in every way. on a better note, who else is cranking the new Tragedy these days? |

| _______________________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 1:29am - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] yeah after reading the press release they just sent out im not sure im going anymore. good aaron and carina im gonna go to doomriders instead ! |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 1:41am - todayistheday nli ""] what did it say |
| _______________________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 2:02am - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] todayistheday nli said:what did it say im sure this wont apply to them since theyre superstar press but basically were either gonna be in a tent or in the photopit. also that you cant go to the photopit or leave the photopit without an escort. also that if you plan on walking around the venue that you need to leave your camera with either an escort back at the tent or ozzfest promotion people. i just dont like the idea of 105' weather and then having to be babysat while covering a fest im not really excited about going to. DOOMRIDERS/COLISIUM/LANDMINE MARATHON at Great Scott's which is less then a 5min walk for me. thank you very much ! my retarded rant is done, please make fun of me starting .... now ! |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 9:17am - the_reverend ""] well, I don't like BLS so... |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 9:39am - CaptainCleanoff ""] I can't wait not to go! |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 10:12am - the_reverend ""] why wait? aren't you already not going? |
| _________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 10:40am - mcmahon ""] stevus and dave will be there. steve is 7th row or something. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 11:26am - the_reverend ""] one of the BLS dudes was one stage talking in between bands. He didn't have time to say much cause the set change overs were 5 minutes. At this point of the morning, I'm baking under a media tent on the scolding hot tar. I'm really not happy that I ate that egg sammich this morning. Ugh! walls of jericho: thankfully, after waiting for passes to be sorted out, we were able to get in. Their set sounded awesome. It's a bit odd seeing them up, so far from the crowd. But they got the crowd going. I was happy cause they played "playing soilder again" which is probably my favorite WOJ song. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 12:08pm - the_reverend ""] full blown chaos: it's awesome to see these guys doing so well. Great dudes. Though with all the huge tours they've gotten on lately, I think it's funny that they weren't later in the day. Granted, next year at this time, they could be opening the mainstage. Ray shouted out buckhunter (all but the drummer were on the side of the stage), of course nate the war came out and sang for a minute with them. bad acid trip: I'm not sure if the singer was trying too hard, but he had an Anal Cunt shirt on and shouted out el duce. They very weird music. Some of the parts were good, but then they would do things that just sounded like they were trying to be weird. I don't know. In the end, the singer dropped down behind the subs on the floor and used his hand like a duck to talk over them. |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 12:09pm - CaptainCleanoff ""] the_reverend said:why wait? aren't you already not going? I need something to do man! |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 12:36pm - the_reverend ""] makes sense I guess. a life once lost: it seemed like they got a really long set. Their songs are longer too which made the photo-taking better. the crowd surfing basically started during their set. the singer ran around, but seemed a little subdued due to the heat maybe? This is practice for dragonforce. I was a little amazed that they didn't play any of their moshuggah stuff. But then again that just gets kids to smoke dope, not mosh it up. They ended with the singer's PSA "smoke dope.." stoner pause "... Everyday" |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 1:43pm - the_reverend ""] all that remains: awe... Right after sending a song out to the ladies with a shoker held high, phil gat me the finger. What love. It'll probably be on lambgoat. They once again had the same drummer as the one on the CD. For those of you who've given the CD a chance, you know that that is a very good thing. One odd addition on stage was their new bass player. Jeanne, ex-light is the language. I'm pretty sure that she's friends with all of them so I hope she sticks with them. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 3:35pm - the_reverend ""] red chord, the: this was songs from the same set they've been playing for a while. No ones newer than the newest CD. Nate johnson again hopped up on the mic just as I was leaving the photopit. This is their hometurf, but I hope they are getting the same action level at their shows on the rest of the tour. People went crazy for them. Candace (WOJ) came out for 1/2 a song. Then they did dreaming in dog years and guy hoped down to the crowd. Security was pulling back all sorts of kids who were converging over guy. strapping young lad: I shot them.. No wait.. I lied... right? I sorted out details about photographing them tomorrow in maine. But I digress. their set was the normal bout of "you suck", "you fucking sucks", and "we fucking suck so suck our tiny canadian dicks". the only thing is it's really had to tell most of their newer songs apart. The singer for a life once lost came out and yelled "YOU SUCK" a few times. once I was off the side of the stage, I was just listening to the music and it sounded awesome. I must admit, I will miss the hilarity of their live set, having more devin townsend band stuff will rule. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 5:55pm - the_reverend ""] gr.. there are no monster drinks for free in the back. norma jean: they sounded good, but no one came out for memphis. The new singer and the singer for the chariot do a lot of the same things on stage with the mic stand. Must be something with the music. They had a second drummer on stage too. bleeding through: they came out to an intro. The bassplayer had a wicked beard going on. It looked painted on. Their first 3 songs were really long. Made me happy with the picture taking time. brendan went into the crowd almost immediately. I was starting to lose faith that pople would at that point too. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 6:35pm - the_reverend ""] unearth: I heard them starting up and ran to the front of the stage. Snapping pictures and then out of the blue, I get my face humped by ken susi. I had no clue what I was suppose to be doing be, but he did all the work and it was all covered by all of the photographers. About 2 minutes into their set, either I or the guy beside me stepped on a hose that was sitting on the ground. It went straight up into my leg and my D2X. The camera was fine. Thankfully the water almost evaporated on contract. Now, this beging their home town, the end of their set was special. carina and I got pulled up onto the stage by Unearth's roady. he asked us what publications we worked for and if we wanted good shows. Ken and Buzz start tossing their cabs around and then at the very end, they smash their guitars on the stage. I took a ton of pictures from the stage. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 7:16pm - the_reverend ""] atreyu: whoah.. The singer's definitly got a personal trainer going on. I'm not a fan any more, but they had a lot of energy on stage. For the most part, this band looks to be the same dudes, but the music has changed to be a lot more main-stream. black label society: they had a screen drop down with the the BLS logo on it. hail the leaf was one of the peeps collecting up the curtain. when it dropped, they were there playing... Well... I say "they", but honestly the bassplayer wasn't there. It was a much smaller dude. I'm not a BLS fan, but zack kicks on the guitar. They had something with a llot of beachballs, but I didn't get to see that. at this point, they were like 30 minutes ahead at this point, but it was time to take off for the mainstage. |
