Ozzfest tomorrow[views:26589][posts:124]Tweeter Center - main stage (Mansfield, Ma) - [avenged_sevenfold][disturbed][dragonforce][hatebreed][lacuna_coil][randomshots][system_of_a_down][all_that_remains][atreyu][a_life_once_lost][bad_acid_trip][black_label_society][bleeding_through][full_blown_chaos][norma_jean][randomshots][strapping_young_lad][the_red_chord][unearth][walls_of_jericho] _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 7:23pm - the_reverend ""] dragonforce: actually, they were pretty awesome. Even in the heat, they jumped a lot. The lighting was hopefully awesome too. Compared to the set at NEMHF, it was really really well lit. The first 3 songs they played were all ones that I knew from the CD and were all pretty damn long. For the first song, the singer seemed really preoccupied with the monitor situation. By the 2nd song, I guess it was worked out cause he got back into it with the other people in the band. |

| ____________________________ [Aug 1,2006 8:12pm - pam ""] I like being in the air conditioning far far away from the above mentioned bands. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 9:19pm - goatcatalyst ""] Good seeing you and Carina, Rev. I think if Gene Hoglan adopts me, it may expedite my getting a visa/work permit for moving to Vancouver. Holy shit was that a fucking UGLY crowd or what? Might even have beat CT. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 10:57pm - the_reverend ""] damn, I just got home... over 3000 pictures to go through. it's going to take a few minutes |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 11:15pm - anonymous ""] you went to ozzfest and didn't stay for ozzy? |
| ______________________________ [Aug 1,2006 11:21pm - Yeti ""] pam said:I like being in the air conditioning far far away from the above mentioned bands. agreed. you'll stay far away from the doll with the red shoes if you know whats good for you. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 1,2006 11:28pm - the_reverend ""] 1/2 way through the first stage bands... geesh... |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 12:07am - the_reverend ""] pictures processing. uploading in a few minutes. second stage that is. |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 12:19am - todayistheday nli ""] i dont even know why I went. btbam were already playing when they were letting people in, they played all new shit, walls of jericho were on to early, red chord sounded heavy as fuck but sounded like shit as well, syl were good, the rest sucked besides unearth. then there was like three-five hrs of horrible...........ozzy played like 7 songs........i got sunburned pretty good even with applying sunscreen like every ten minutes..............decent time but way to fucking hot. Oh well, I should have known. But it was something to do, I guess. |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 12:20am - todayistheday nli ""] There were a shitload of smokin' chicks there in barely nothing. But then there were a TON of fatty goth girls. grosss |
| __________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 12:31am - Cecchini ""] dragonforce play so shitty it was mind boggling. their singer constantly missed notes, and their guitar players made way way to many mistakes. for a band that tries to act like they are the greatest thing ever, they certainly do play like shit live. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 12:36am - the_reverend ""] the singer was very off at this show. the guitar players weren't IMHO. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 12:39am - Cecchini ""] the 2nd song had some terrible train wreck from the guitar players. there was a part where a chord rang out and it sounded like one of them was a half step below. then during through the fire and flame song, the intro had a ton of wrong notes towards the end and one guitar player kept falling behind and mucked up his fills.... i was way the frig up on the lawn so i couldnt see who did what. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 2,2006 12:47am - cav ""] anyone else notice that the 2nd stage at ozzfest is always rediculously bass heavy?? |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 12:51am - the_reverend ""] speaking of frigging up. I frigged up my main stage pictures. redoing them.. gr... |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 2:14am - corrado_images ""] shitttttttttttttt kinda wish i went, looked like a lot of fun hope to see you soon |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 2:30am - the_reverend ""] corrado, I've been really busy and forgot to reply to your ms. I don't know if I could have helped much anyhow. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 2:34am - the_reverend ""] I like these pictures [img] [img] [img] [img] |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 3:13am - chris_from_shit_fuck ""] that Dragonforce picture and that last Unearth picture are NUTS! They both got some fucking height, they should play basketball. I'm still glad I didn't go this year. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 7:23am - DreamingInExile ""] despite it being a corporate event and not many (what most here would consider) good bands, I had a blast. I'm so fucking sunburnt, I'm in agony, and I have to leave for the office now... how am I gonna explain my "sick day" P.S. Carina, I want to see the pics you got of me in the crowd at the second stage |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 7:45am - the_reverend ""] look at bleeding through, you are avoiding brandon's crotch like a pro! |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:10am - xanonymousx ""] nice shots.... was unearth's roadie named ryan by chance? |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:14am - the_reverend ""] I forget his name. he's the same dude that's been doing it for years. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:16am - the_reverend ""] lacuna coil: it was the typically lacuna coil set. They hammed it up a tiny bit for the camera. A bit of levity was delivered by a heckler yelling "fuck you" from the crowd. I'm sure they took it in stride. That's all part of being a professional. I guess the guys got pulled out. hatebreed: ok... I'll be honest, I kept looking for the thumb. they didn't take too long to get up on stage. Once they did, they went right into a series of quick songs. They announced that they were going to have a new CD out on roadrunner in um.. I think it was september. I wonder why universal didn't keep them. that universal CD was played everywhere. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:20am - DreamingInExile ""] anyone else think the bassist from Dragonforce looks like Joel from Killswitch in this picture? [img] |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:25am - the_reverend ""] avenged sevenfold: wtf!?! Their first 2 songs were really good. It was like iron maiden. I'm sort of in awe. The voice was almost perfectly a number of the beast era maiden rip off. They were only missing the guitar leads. what happend to them being the gayest thing since sliced bread and they come out like some huge metal band. they even had cat-walks and levels like the maiden stage. I was told they ended with walk, but I don't know. I heard it went into another one of their songs that make girls cry. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:30am - xanonymousx ""] the_reverend said:I forget his name. he's the same dude that's been doing it for years. ok then it was probably ryan he worked at the place i used to work at for some time seems nice gave me a cd that didn't come out for 5 months |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:31am - dwellingsickness ""] AX7 Makes grown men cry too, just ask METALCOREVOMITNDEATHWHATEVERTHEFUCK his name is. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:37am - anonymous ""] look at the look on the security's faces when unearth are destroying everything. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:38am - the_reverend ""] do a7x actually sound like maiden on the new CD? if so I might check it out judt for that. disturbed: their first song started of sounding like some epic metal band you would catch from the people in station's future (bill&ted's reference). After some posing and cat walk work, they made me say "oh, that's what nu-metal sounds like live." needless to say, I was just focusing on the pictures and trying not to let's the music distact me with it sheer amazingnessouscity and buckets of emotions and powah. Anthem of a million walmart shoppers here. Why you might ask? Cause ma and pa bedded down in the back of a chevy listen to this bitching shit. system of a down: probably one of the worst thins I've seen live. There was no ignoring it. They had no stage presents either and sort of just posed around the stage. So lame and so gay was the sopecticale that they unleashed, I've coined and new word, glame. They were so glame. From what a little bird told me, they all hate each other and just want to get this f'n tour done. they had flashing lights that made me wonder how many doods faked epilepse to get out of there. |

I was told they ended with walk, but I don't know. I heard it went into another one of their songs that make girls cry. I thought they were pretty good and I'll be the first to admit on this board that I like the new cd. The guitar work is awesome once you get past the vocals. I was very suprised when they covered "Walk" seriously it was as perfect as you can get. If you closed your eyes while listening to walk you wouldn't be able to tell if it was Pantera or Avenged Sevenfold it was that dead on. system of a down: probably one of the worst thins I've seen live.

I've seen System of a Down a bunch of times before and this was by far their worst performance/set I've ever seen. They used to put on such a good live show but it seemed like they were flat out lazy. The vocals were COMPLETELY out of key, guitars sounded like shit, they stood around on stage doing basically nothing, and they were talking about rediculous things; something about if Jesus was alive corperations would try and cash in on his cruxifiction or whatever. It seems like Serge is no longer the lead vocals now to the guitarist who needs to kind of shut his mouth when it's not necessary to sing, Serge used to do alot of screaming and running around on stage but it seemed like they just don't care anymore. I was looking forward to them and I was very disappointed. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:46am - xanonymousx ""] a7x is good they are good at what they do who cares they changed their style... after looking at the red chord pics their banner looks alot like the on broken wings logo on their mosh dept shirts. [img] [img] |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:50am - xanonymousx ""] did norma jean play that 15 min long song from their first cd? |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 8:59am - the_reverend ""] no. they only played one song from the first CD that I rexognized. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 9:02am - SteveOTB ""] xanonymousx said:did norma jean play that 15 min long song from their first cd? No and I seriously wish that fucking band would play "Creating Something Out Of Nothing, Only To Destroy It" off of "Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child". I bet the place would explode during the "Like bringing a knife to a gun fight" breakdown. IMO that song should be a staple even if it is 6+ minutes long. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 9:17am - xanonymousx ""] those are my two favorite norma jean songs.... i really like the first five tracks off that first records |

| ______________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 10:23am - the_reverend ""] you were about 10 people away from him. |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 10:24am - DreamingInExile ""] that's even funnier |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 10:27am - the_reverend ""] "hey buddy" [img] "s'up buddy let's hug" [img] "watch the glasses buddy" [img] "I was talking to this buddy, buddy" [img] "not cool buddy" |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 10:37am - DreamingInExile ""] HAHAHA, that's my scrawny ass to the left of the singer, that was before I was completely sunburnt |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 10:44am - DreamingInExile ""] what about the big guy in white, groping his man bewbies? [img] |
| _________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 11:00am - mcmahon ""] was the stage crew drunk when they setup SYL's stage? [img] |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 11:03am - DreamingInExile ""] no, but they were when they set up Norma Jean's: [img] |
| __________________________________ [Aug 2,2006 11:04am - ShadowSD ""] Nah, there was just a huge magnet on the right side of the stage during both sets. |
