--Heff--

please no more black label society

Rob Zombie and Killswitch Engage will be second stage. another band will be main stage but it's not released who. Anthrax has 'no plans for a North American tour' so it's not them.

Hah...please, no more Rob Zombie! The last two times I saw him, he forgot the lyrics to his own songs because he really was THAT drunk. Yeesh.

Umm...PNC is in Jersey, closer to Philly actually. That's where I went to my only Ozzfest, but it rawked!

I'd go to this one but I've seen Sabbath twice already and although incredible I'm not making that drive alone just to see Sabbath. Maiden I'm cool with but don't really have any interest in. Rob Zombie can go fuck himself, I still want the 2 hours of my life back that his "movie" took. If Anthrax was playing I'd probably be there in a sec though. And I couldn't give 2 shits about any of the other bands.

bls is for grown men who love to bang at truck stops...cant wait to see killswitch again ..and sabbath is always a treat ..inflames mastodon maiden! im happy i just wish lamb of god was back on there

THANK YOU

This is the second ozzfest I've actually wanted to go to in the past 5 years(last year being the other). Cool to see some swedeish bands, and Mastodon!
BUT, unless I'm blind, I don't see any Colorado shows! Why Not?!?!
