"Informed Sources" Say Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, classic Anthrax to Headline Ozzfest 2005

Band Photo: Megadeth (?)
Blabbermouth is reporting that "informed sources" (read: still unconfirmed) tell them that BLACK SABBATH and IRON MAIDEN will headline the 10th anniversary edition of Ozzfest. In addition, ANTHRAX's "Among the Living" lineup — featuring vocalist Joey Belladonna, guitarist Dan Spitz and bassist Frank Bello — is said to have secured a slot on the main stage at the festival, which is expected to kick off in mid-July.
According to unconfirmed reports, the Ozzfest 2005 shows will start later than the previous 9:00 a.m. kick-off time and will include more non-rotating slots on the second stage.
Prior to headlining the 2005 edition of Ozzfest, BLACK SABBATH will embark on a short European tour, which will include an appearance at the U.K.'s Download festival (where they will headline the "Ozzfest" day on June 11).
No further mention was made of Megadeth who are also highly rumored to play the main stage this year.

yea tom i agree! damn right belladonna all the way. tho bush still rules. would be kool to have both vocalists there and change half way though. possibly do that track (forgot the name of it now) where they both sing in the middle of set. that would rule
and yes bls please bls bls rule

wut the hell?!?!?? wutever happened to bands like slipknot, slayer, soulfly on ozzfest!!! none of these old farts like maiden, anthrax, sux!!!! bring the new fast metal man c'mon jack off pick better band su fat a$$ kid. im so p***ed ozzfest has lost its roots of being the heaviest tour!!!! man please dont let this rumor be true

I loved the complete Black Sabbath reunion lineup last year, and the set too even though it was short. It's clear they are doing the reunion thing this year and last, so why not? Haven't we Ozzy solo enough as of late anyway? He'll probably do the solo thing again next year if Sabbath plays this year. I'd be more interested in seeing Anthrax play than Iron Maiden as well. I'm sure I'll enjoy a few Maiden songs (like I did Judas Priest), but I was never really into them anyway. In any case, those three bands make this year's Ozzfest look mighty promising already. I'll just be happy if there are no [nu-metal] bands with only 1-2 albums under their belt headlining the fest. Bands like Chevelle played good sets and surprised me, but just did not make worthy main-stage acts, IMO.

u are a f***ing moron ryknow. well, your name is after the mudvayne guy so that does not say a whole lot. Soulfly is true metal? Max sold out a while ago. lost it's roots? you obviously think slipknot is the heaviest band on earth. please respond you douchebag.


13. writes:
the roots of heavy metal played by the legends is what i think ozzfest should center on. like madk said no nu-metal sh*t should even be allowed on stage until they at least have thier cherries busted and have earned the right to play alongside the greats. it takes a lot of blood, sweat, and years to be eligible to be mentioned in the same breath as some of the legendary bands like sabbath, priest, and even iron maiden. anthrax, although having been around for a long time, i could live with or without, and mega-d. would be an awesome addition. HIMMM!!!!

Brokenwings13- Im pretty sure Maiden's world tour ends around late June or early July..just around the time that Ozzfest starts..so yea..I guess Ozzfest would be a part of their world tour..can't wait for this..it''s shaping up to be another insane Ozzfest...



27. writes:
i don't care !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they want us to come I wanna see MUDVAYNE, IN FLAMES, DEVIL DRIVER, SLIPKNOT, BLOOD SIMPLE., HATEBREED, SKINDRED, stuff like that we don't wanna see all the so called METAL GODS!! Thats what killed Rock!!!! Bands like PANTERA and Korn brought that $hit back to the main stream. Like it or not you no it's true. The 2nd stage is all anyone cares about pretty much and a few main stage acts. Ever notice how many people leave after the 2nd stage?



30. writes:
I DIDNT SAY THAT I CANT APPRECIATE THE MUSIC OF IRON MAIDEN AND OZZY, I JUST DONT WANT TO PAY 50 f***IN DOLLARS TO SEE 60 YEAR OLD GUYS PLAY THE MAIN STAGE OF OZZFEST. I WANT TO SEE NEW (NOT NU) METAL BANDS THAT ROCK LIKE LAMB OF GOD AND SLIPKNOT AND SHADOWS FALL AND HATEBREED OR MANSON OR EVEN KORN EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT AS HARD

33. writes:
There's a tour coming up if you want to see Slipknot, Shadows Fall and Lamb of God... Why would Ozzfest need to be the same? All of the best Ozzfests have had great old-school headliners/main stage acts like Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Sepultura, etc as well as the new bands. Of course they'll have plenty of new bands as well. I wouldn't mind seeing Shadows Fall or Machine Head play the main stage or headline the second stage though. And sure, lots of young bands too - it's a great way to hear some bands I haven't heard before or seen live. But you don't usually fill the pavillions and outdoor venues on a travelling tour with only new bands.

35. writes:
sounds like DEADMETAL doesnt really even know what metal truly is. Go to Scandinavia. Then you'll find out what it really is. Yeah there are some great bands spawning here, but at the same time theyve all learned from the forefathers. Give them a chance to do what they love doing; ending the night with a killer show.




39. writes:
I think its good for older bands such as iron maiden to play this year but we shouldn't over do it with 3 or 4 of them they should have iron maiden and possably megadeath nothing else older they need to save some room for the newer heavier bands such as Strapping Young Lad, Lamb of God, Slipknot, Children of Bodem, You know what Im sayin Balla




44. writes:
sorry f***er for pissing you off. really what i meant was that newer bands have more energy generally than older bands. i never said all older bands were like that. but its true when you look at bands like sabbath and maiden and compair to lamb of god, slipknot, killswitch. newer bands are heavier.


50. writes:
being an all rounder metal fan it will be great so to see some of the best oldies but it still cant hurt to have someone to the effect of slipknot or even korn on there so that ozzfest can evolve with the music and still keep the classics...why hasnt anyone considered a balance instead of going off your nuts at each other?......id love to know if anyone has any info on when the fest will hit australia this year...this country sucks a$$ to live in music wise. SAVE ME!!!!







58. writes:
Madien live is second to none. Any 'Nu-metal' fags that can make it the full length of the show to see the headliners will realize this. Best new Metal band out is Shaitan Mazar (ex Nile members). Throw them up on the main stage with Children of Bodom, Kalmah, Bloodbath, Opeth, then replace Anthrax with Slayer, now that would be a tour.

59. writes:
I think Slayer will be there anyways. Yeah Bloodbath and Children of Bodom would be badass too. i have waited all my life to see Maiden live, and I can't wait. Screw the second stage, I am there for Maiden. I still think that adding Judas Priest would be the best Ozzfest to date.

As alway's It's shaping up to be a good show and ounce againe I will probably miss it !!!! Manson has been known to listen to the GHETTO BOYZ , NWA , ICE CUBE and EMINEM before he performs as well as in private He's admitted this in many an interview now go kill that .



69. writes:
my husband is total metalhead and I love him to death. He just called me from work to ask me to go on line and find out when OZZFEST 2005 will be in area. Does anyone know when and if they will be making their rounds to Northern California ? I'd love to buy him a few tickets.

Ozzy is/was great but the past two times I saw him he was mumbling the words to his greatest songs and could barely move on stage. He could still "rule" as a figure head but it's bout time he moved over and let new bands surface. All these rumored bands were great in their day but they need to take a bow. I'm sick of reunions, last calls, last time ever, etc.... because they keep coming back. AND F*** ANYONE who says Slipknot, Mudvayne, Killswitch, and other newer bands can't hang because I have news for you Slipknot puts on the best GOD DAMN show and you always get what you pay for

77. writes:
Look man, slipknot does put on a show (i seen them last year ...not but choice ...i attended ozzfest) slipknot is not even metal and their lead singer is so gay......the only one who is the musican is joey....never ever ever make remarks about ozzy ....you jackass..... and who the hell are you to say such a remark about ozzy...slipknot wishes that they could make an impact like ozzy....slipknot is a trend and their music cant even touch ozzy on his worst day.....killswitch engage is still alright.....but lets talk about the DEFTONES and it would be rad to them again on ozzfest opening up for main stage..... the deftones would rock the mic open up for anthrax , iron maiden, blacksabbath.....thank you

79. writes:
Those older bands are cool I would love to see them but lets dont forget those of you who argue here the OZZFEST is big,it can accomodate something for everyone.I would love to see Ozzy,BLS,Sabbath,Maiden,Anthrax,Megadeth,Judas Priest,along w/ Shadowsfall,Mudvayne,Slipknot,Killswitch Engage,Drowning Pool,Rob Zombie,Disturbed,Tool,Chimaira,High On Fire,and many others!

80. writes:
f*** all those old a$$ guys playing their old a$$ sh**, just cause it was "influential" and "groundbreaking" doesnt mean that the 50 year old guys playing that sh** can still put on a good performance of originally good sh**, i want to pay for a good show with lots of energy and they dont bring that



83. writes:
I'm going for Rob Zombie...all these other old sh**ty bands f***ing suck. Black Sabbath needs to die already. Anthrax needs to stop existing to...god damn..Otep isn't good but that stupid whore lead singer rocks harder than almost all those old dumb f***s combined...at least i'll get to bust up some old drunk guys at the show...that's cool i guess



87. writes:
I hope the rumors are true!! It's about time metal gets back to its roots!! I saw Maiden last year Dance of Death tour in NYC!! It was truly a fantastic experience that I would kill to see again! Especially since their Europe tour is focusing on the first 4 albums!! What a treat to see those songs live here in the States!!!
P.S. I love You EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
88. writes:
P.S. to all you people who are sayin f*** you to all of these "old f***s" I like a lot of the new bands too but, guess what.............if it wasn't for the "old f***s" the bands today would have no influences and probably wouldn't be playing today. Metal had to start somewhere and it all started way back before you were born.................think about it.


90. writes:
Yes...lets trace everyone's roots and influences back 100's of years...some of these old sh** metal bands worship f***ing elvis and ray charles...are you gonna love the sh** music they listened to that brought them to be where they are...f*** no...dumb f***s...f*** iron maiden...they are old and they f***ing blow..end of story jerks







99. writes:
Iron Maiden is f***ing lame. There sound was dated when they first came out 80 years ago. Ozzfest keeps getting worse and worse. I'll still go this year. It's funny watching old metal heads trying to rock and old metal head fans trying to rock out to the music all drunk and sh**. No dignity whatsoever. They'll be old and dead soon. Most of them are granparents. Hilarious.

I'm with HIMMM. I love todays heavy music, I'm all about the Euro and Scandinavian black metal bands. I agree that seein the heavy bands at Ozzfest is a treat because you can never see these bands play anywhere else because they are not "popular" enough for MTV or the radio. However.... Maiden and Sabbath are the backbones of all metal music. It all started with them.......................show some appreciation!!!!

106. writes:
f*** MTV and radio...f*** these old metal bands to...i would have respect for them if they hung their guitars up and retired...they have some great classic stuff...but it's really f***ing silly for them to still be playing. "YEAH MAN! I'M LIKE A MILLION f***ING YEARS OLD. MY VOICE IS ALL GRUFFY AND THE LATEST MUSIC I'VE COME UP WITH BLOWS, BUT I'M STILL ROCKIN OUT, DESTROYING MY LEGACY". These guys just need to go away. Nobody gives a sh** about dignity or legacies anymore. All they give a f*** about is squeezing every last dime they can out of their aging and shrinkning fan base. It makes me sick to my stomach. This is a plea to all you old metal bands out there. You guys made some awesome music and paved the way. By now you're old and you suck. JUST STOP. RETIRE. Please....


110. writes:
yes i agree f*** MTV but, f*** YOU for saying f*** the legends .... not retiring shows that they f***ing love what they do and f***ing love music.
As for Ozzfest having Euro and Scandi bands: Yes, Ozzfest deffintely should but, their is one slight problem .... Ozzfest needs to sign these bands to the tour BEFORE they sign themselves to the plethora of european metal festivals ... Ozzfest will never compare to the euro festival scene ... for two reasons 1: Euro festivals have bigger turn-out 2: Europe is a larger metal market than America, metal bands can eaisly make tons of money off these festivals and the record sales as in Europe metal is more accepted and mainstream .... lots of american bands go over to Europe to make money and become chart-topper European artists.
So, get use to see what i like to call the New Wave of American Metal (NWAM - hardcore, metalcore, nu metal .... all that punk-ish stuff) at Ozzfest because that is the metal that isn't really big in Europe but big here.

I think it would be great to incoporate some of todays other musci genres into Ozzfest in the future. Perhaps groups like Maroon 5. Maybe some hip hop artists like Ludacris and Kanye West. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lechey headlining Ozzfest 2006, how sweet would that be...

mETAL WILL LIVE ON AND SO WILL OZZY IN PURE METAL HEADS BLOODY HEART!








196. writes:
Yea, Sabbath, Maiden, and Priest definitely aren't as extreme as some of today's metal bands. If anybody ragging on those old and "sh**ty" bands went to Ozzfest last year, you are f***ing dumb. Priest put on a show with energy comparable to of any of the bands on the Fest. They haven't lost it yet. Sabbath..ehh..Ozzy is starting to lose his touch...but that doesn't change how much I love Black Sabbath's music, or how much respect I have for them. The same goes for Iron Maiden. To me, their performances will be amazing no matter what because of how great their songs are.
To post #81 and post#86- You are f***ing idiots. Have you not seen Slayer live recently?? They still play Raining Blood like there's no tomorrow! And how about all the rest of the classics?? When I went to see Slayer on the JagerTour, there wasn't a moment where Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman or Tom Araya wasn't moving or headbanging. Slayer are sick as ever.
Unfortunately, it looks like Disturbed will be playing...the main stage??!? Supposedly playing AFTER Black Label Society!! I'll have to take a sh** or eat during Disturbed's set, it would be better than listening to them play music.

Rue you'er so f***ing right. Everone between the numbers 80-86 can just f*** the self in the a$$ with broken glass almost all of this new sh** suck a$$ exited bands like Slipknot who are so-so and BLS, Shodow Fall, Lawb of God, S.O.A.D. but, everone sucks because they all sound the some.

Ok I got a little side tracked.The N word mean's ignorant . It has nothing to do with skin color so for those of you idiot's that think your funny or even cool all I can say is GROW THE f*** UP !!! I hate to be the one to break it to you but Rock is an offshoot of the blues , If their was no Rock their would be no METAL , no METAL mean's no Nu METAL and so fourth . I don't want to give an imprompto history lesson but if you don't know what your talking about you should not comment . In closing anyone that think's Nu Metal eclipses Old school in any way other than this is what it sound's like these day's .I respect your oppinion , but your giving it too much credit . If SABATH , IRON MAIDEN,JUDAS PRIEST etc etc.Did not come first and basically break down the door's on what's accepted . Then you Ignorant little women would not have LINKIN PARK , DEF TONES , KoRn or MANSON for that matter. Whether you know it or not like it or not . Don't get me wrong I like Nu Metal what I can't stand is Ignorance . The scary part about NIGGAGUNIT and NIGGAKILLA is the fact that they probably have parent's.

Maiden Fan, post #197- You're right, there are a lot of sh**ty "incoming" bands...its unfortunate we have to put up with sh** like Linkin Park and those other b****y nu-metal bands. But I think there are also quite a few talented metal bands, with some unique sounds. I would say Lamb of God and Chimaira are two good examples of talented metal bands. Just so happens that Kerry King's a fan of both.

I feel sorry for any one of you young metalheads that rip the old bands apart. For those of you that go to Ozzfest.....don't ever try to come across like older and true metal lovers don't belong there. I'm fortunate to have seen Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, etc. in their prime. And while you were sucking on your mother's breast, we were still rocking. I'm glad I was around to experience concerts that kicked a$$ for $10. And we didn't have a pit where everyone was just looking to fight because the so-called "music" made you mean. We had a pit where joints were shared and appreciation of the music was acknowledged among us. If anyone belongs at a concert, it's the older people who still want to appreciate it. When I was 20, I didn't think I'd get older, but it happened. It will happen to you too, before you know it. Where will your bands be by then? All I can say is, I'm 48 years old, but I'm not ready for a f***ing rocking chair. The bands that will appear on the main stage at this year's Ozzfest have earned it. The crowd in the chairs facing the main stage have earned it, too. We've spent many years standing, sitting in the rain, and traveling to see our favorite bands. Leave the 2nd stage and its bands to those of you who want to smell armpits, get your a$$ kicked by means other than the music, and possibly get p***ed on. Let the legends live on and rock until they die.

Oh my GOD!!!!! Girlinterupted you couldn't of said it any better !!! I am still young at 24 but I have real appreciation of Metal. Not too many people can understand exactly what it means, but if you do have the understanding you are the real deal. Seriously, I have been to a lot of shows including Sabbath, Maiden, Slayer, Megadeth and also newer stuff such as Pantera (RIP DIME), Soulfly, and old Manson. I can appreciate all genres of Metal, but you have nothing unless you have the legends!

-have a sh**ty taste in music
-probably listen to that lame-ass excuse for
music called rap
-have never been beaten for talking too much
Music is for Fags- You are just as stupid as the above two a$$holes. Music is life for some people. You have demonstrated that you have an extremely low IQ, possibly in negative numbers. Just go die and rid us of yourself, many people would be better off without you.

You're right GIRLinterrupted, the older metal bands deserve their chance. Nobody should even have to say that...but sadly with some of the mentally slow people around here don't understand or appreciate good music. It's a damn privelege to see this older bands. They could just curl up and die like some of you bastards want, but they don't. They keep on going. And until they stop, Im gonna keep supporting them. You people who insult older bands and music, and Dimebag, need to be severly beaten. There should be consequences for saying the dumb sh** you say.

Rue, the consequence for saying these things should be to make them wear Justin Timberlake t shirts, tie them up, put pink lipstick on them, and put them smake dab in the middle of a Maiden show. All of us can stand around and video tape it and post it on this site as a warning!!!!!!!

He deserves to die along with the rest of pantera..why you ask...because he just f***ing does...i'm gonna visit his grave and piss and sh** on it...he was a sh**ty guitar player in life and will be worse in death. Maybe Vinnie and Phil are banging his corpse at this very moment.

OH. My favorite is Slash because I think e is one hell of a guitars and I got to see him live in Little Rock, AR in Guns N' Rose, Slash's Snakepit, and, Velvet Revovler.
P.S. do you like blues? If you do I think you would like Snakepit because there blues/rock/hard rock.
There best album is Five A O'Clock Some Where.


270. writes:
i will definetly check out snakepit. i never really listened to slash, i couldn't stand that goddamned axel rose. yes, i like the blues. anyone who knows anything about music, or plays music, knows what the blues is all about. you can't even consider yourself a guitar player if you can't play some blues. it all came from the blues. this is historical fact.







277. writes:
like i said, i'm old. sometimes it takes me awhile to get around to checkihg out new music. i heard a few songs the other day, my granddaughter wanted my so-called expert opinion. the bands' name is godsmack. hadn't heard of them. well, my opinion is this, where the hell have they been hiding these guys? awesome. very refreshing. i told her to let me know this stuff sooner.

Dudes this is the DIME and I'm talking to you from beyond the grave. Dudes, just leave DEADBAG alone. Everything he says is true. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Dimebag is rotting in hell at this very moment. HAHAHHHAHAHAHA...I heard that he cried like a baby when he got shot. His last request was to blow everyone in Iron Maiden. They all happily obliged. Then they all squirted on his face. It was a beautiful thing man. Then every there gathered around in a great big circle and spit on Dimebag as lay there dying. That was a great day man. More no-talent losers like Dimebag need to get blown away. Speaking of godsmack, when DIME tried to enter the pearly gates of heaven GOD SMACKED his sorry punk a$$ straight to hell.
DIMEBAG IS DEAD.
DIMEBAG IS DEAD.
THE WORM'S AND THE MAGGOTS,
CRAWL THROUGH HIS HEAD.
AHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAH...Burn dimebag burnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Just let me WALK through the CEMETARY GATES, then give me 5 MINUTES ALONE to sh** on your f***ing grave. Brad was right. It you want attention take the c*** out of your goddamn mouth and go to another gay bar. f***ing a$$hole. I hope you die a brutally violent death. Dimebag Darrell and Pantera's music could kick your f***ing pansy a$$ all over the place.

i'm not the one crying...dimebag was...as he was dying...and so were all you wimps after he died....waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh...wah...wah...My favorite no-talent guitar player Dimebag has died...waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh...if you all miss him that much...dig his filthy stinking rotting bloated corpse up from his grave...and go prop it up on stage with his guitar that he never learned to play...and it will be like he never died. Go dig up phil anselmo while you're at it to...for supposed metal heads you people whine and moan like little babies...god damn...you can all rest easy now though...i've had my fun, thanks for all the great laughs people...Anyone that your hear from later on that says anything like i have been saying is just an imitator...i'm officially retiring from this...peace out sissies

Without Sabbath and Maiden, there would be no Ozzfest, no nu-Metal, fast Metal, rap Metal. Just because you booger picking punks don't know what origins are and don't know to respect those who came before your whiny asses does not mean that these bands suck. Get a freakin' clue. Wake up and mature...

Look. I have respect for the new bands and like a good amout of them. I can tell by some of the posts here that anyone who says that the old bands don't have as much energy has not seen Iron Maiden live. Bruce brings it to the stage every night and Belladona with 'thrax will be like popping the top off of a can of explosives. Don't get me wrong Bush fans I am behind you when it comes to supporting him too. This will be an Ozzfest to remember if it is all true!

I know one thing for sure is. BLACK LABEL SOCIETY SUCKS! Let's get some talent at Oz Fest. Another band that must go is IRON MAIDEN! THEY S==K!!!! Bunch of old grandpas that pretend that they are good, when all of their music sounds the same. Besides, isnt the lead singer gay? Maybe he should hook up with the lead singer with JP and start their own gay band! LOL....Please, bring some real talent to Oz Fest!

hey metal fans, ozzy is the only reason why metal still survives these days. He continues to bring back the old metal and introduces new metal bands on ozzfest. The fans see this at ozzfest and stay interested in the heavy metal instead of listening to that rap sh**!!!!!

Maiden/Megadeth/Sabbath/Anthrax will dominate Ozzfest, widh we could get some \m/ SLAYER \m/, Deicide, Nile, Vile, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Suffocation, Behemoth, Vader, Hypocrisy ect... in the line up. would love to see some death metal, even some real black metal would be nice...new dimmu sucks...F*** NU METAL!
