I miss it too man.  Mayhem or anything else doesn't even come close to a good old Ozzfest.  I know Ozzy's days are probably limited but we could use at least one or two more Ozzfests before he hangs it up for good.

They are posting the vids on Youtube from the Sabbath warm up they did at the 02 arena.  They sounded pretty good.  Ozzy struggled on a couple songs but as the show went on he was more consistant.  Hopefully after I post this they won't take them down, so hurry up and go look!

Just bought my ticket for this show.  I've seen Lamb of God twice through Ozzfest.  I'm looking forward to another in your face hard as hell set.  Gojira is awesome too.  I'm not too much into Dethklok but I'll give them a fair shot live.

Godsmack - Rocky Mountain Way 

Excellent cover.  So I'll pop in "Good Times Bad Times" from Godsmack.

Wow a lot of Volume 4!  I love it.  Under the Sun is one of the heaviest songs they've ever written.  That and Supernaut are my two favs from that album.  This set looks awesome.  Would love a full US tour with these songs.  Wheels of Confusion better have The Straightner instumental with it.  Love that song too!  If I get a chance to see this set I'll be a happy boy.

The last rumor I heard was probably back in January or February (sometime before Iommi's lymphoma came out) where it had Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Killswitch Engage, Anthrax, TEstament, BLS and I can't remember the others.  I can't even remember where I saw or heard that either since it's been so long.

Review:

Lacuna Coil:  They had good energy, Cristina sounded great but I only got to really experience 4 songs.  Security was slow.  After tailgating my friends and I went about 15 minutes before Lacuna was supposed to go on but it took over a half hour to get in.  Bad staff this time at Stage AE.

Megadeth:  By far stole the show as they did when I saw them at Gigantour.  Dave's voice sounded a little off in the first couple songs but I think it was the equipment setting.  The pits were rough especially for Holy Wars at the end.  Peace Sells, Headcrusher, Hanger 18 and Sweating Bullets were also great.

Rob Zombie:  Very disappointing.  Impressive stage set up (to which I'm told was the same set up as last year) but Rob Zombie's voice absolutely sucks live.  His band is pretty good, they nailed some of the Zombie classics like Living Dead Girl, Superbeast and the White Zombie classic More Human than Human.  But despite that Rob's voice was hard to get over.  I saw what the rest of the set would be so I left after the 8th song.  At least Megadeth made it worth the nearly $50 to go.

I'm saying no Ozzfest, too many good bands with commitments to other tours.  I'm thinking either an Ozzy & Friends tour or Sabbath minus Ward (sad).

Lamb is going out in late August with Gojira and are in Europe/south america and Asia from now until mid august.

Perfect! Thanks!

I was planning on getting a shirt too!  I like the sound of the individualized concert date tee.  I guess mine will say "Roger Waters performs the Wall 2012 at Consol Energy Center Pittsburgh."  Love it!  My seats are in the first row of the upper deck but pretty close to the stage.  It should be a great view.  I bought these tickets in October 2011 I think.  I've been sitting on these for a while!

This make me feel even more excited for this concert!  If you say it's this good then July 3rd needs to get here fast!  Thanks for the review.  I really can't wait for this show now!  I mean I got Rob Zombie/Megadeth/Lacuna Coil this week so that will be cool, but Roger Waters on July 3rd seems like THE show to see.

Bumpin' this up to push down the spam

I hear ya minime.  It's sad to lose faith but the Osbourne camp hasn't shown any sign of carrying Ozzfest on.  There's a lot going on with Sabbath this year so I'm sure their heads or hearts aren't leaning towards an Ozzfest.  They want to finish the new music, get Iommi back to 100% and hopefully get Bill Ward back.  It's a lot of drama in a short amount of time.

I think Nuge is trying to get attention again.  Remember when out of no where he bashed Ozzy and his family when their show was such a big hit.  I think Jack (as a 17 year old at the time) nailed it best.  "He seems jealous that my dad still has success and he (referring to Nugent) hasn't had a hit in 15 years."  It was a cry for attention then and with how crazy this recent rant was it seems only logical that it's a cry for attention along with the Obama threat.
