1. What, no Crazy Town?!

Screw it. I'm not going this year.

[jus_the_facts]

2. Hum...I know Ozzy o'course...JP and Slayer too...never heard o'the rest...

....not one other band on this list....guess I'm out o'touch...ahh well! :evilfrown:

[MrSlayer]

3. Yes well, judging from the amount of 1950's song threads....

that appear in this forum I should have figured there weren't a ton of serious Metalheads here. But for those that are this is great news.

[vi5]

4. I would go just for Slayer and Priest....

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.

5. racists in SJ?

I know that Hank Williams III is in that band, but I didn't know he was a racist...oh well

As you can see, I am a slipknot fan, so I hope it will be coming to florida so I can go.

6. Well, Phil Anselmo sings for them....

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.

[MrSlayer]

7. Yeah Phil is an ass.

He's so fucked up on horse and drink at these shows he just rants about nothing for an hour. He's funny in a pathetic sort of way.

[brainwashed_youth]

11. ah yes....

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

[MrSlayer]

8. Yeah Ozzy's voice is gone but...

Everyone is singing the songs so no one hears him anyway. It's great just to watch Zakk shred throught the Randy solos.

9. I saw Slayer/Motorhead, in Toronto, in 1986 or 87.

They even did a 'both bands' encore of "Bomber" and "Criminally Insane".

The only reason I'll never see Slayer again is because, how could they top that?

[MrSlayer]

10. Well they just did the enitre Reign In Blood album...

on the last tour. Was the ultimate for me and I've seen them 40 times.

[Zomby Woof]

12. FUCK YEAH

I love those top 3. I have only seen Slayer out of all of them though - for "God Hates Us All" in 2001.

But Priest with Halford??? I would LOVE that. :D

[leftist_rebel1569]

13. I like the second stage stuff

The first stage stuff doesn't really impress me that much anymore (well, except Slayer). I LOVE Slipknot and Lacuna Coil, though...awesome bands :)
