In a complete shocker, this years Ozzfest will NOT suck. It will actually return to the Metal roots of the festival and not contain any Mallcore or Rap bullshit.
Main Stage
Ozzy Osbourne Judas Priest (reunited with Rob Halford!) SLAYER!!!!! Dimmu Borgir Superjoint Ritual Black Label Society
Second Stage
Slipknot Hatebreed Lamb of God Atreyu Bleeding Through Lacuna Coil Every Time I Die Unearth God Forbid
Ozzy is long past anything even resembling his prime. And I wouldn't want to see those racists in Superjoint Ritual. I don't know if I'd be able to put up with the crowd after all these years. It's been easily 15 years since I attended a metal show and I"m a little long in the tooth.
and he's made a ton of comments in the press and on stage in his Pantera days that have been incredibly bigoted if not out and out racist. I obviously don't know any of them personally so I guess I shouldn't have been SOOO presumptuous.
Plus their use of the confederate flag. I know this is in constant dispute but as a northerner I see it and can't help but be made uncomfortable by it.
I remember Pantera. Back in the day, they were the shit. I knew they used the rebel flag, but I didn't know they were considered racist. If they are, it makes all us who look on the rebel flag as heritage look bad
