Wicked Wisdom Fills Final Second Stage Slot For Ozzfest 2005

Band Photo: Iron Maiden (?)
Chris Harris of MTV.com has issued the following report:
In one of the most unusual summer-tour pairings in recent memory, the Ozzfest Web site announced Monday night that there will be one final act added to this year's second-stage lineup: actress Jada Pinkett Smith's rock group, WICKED WISDOM.
The addition of the Christian-leaning rock-and-soul hybrid to a summer touring package that boasts ferocious metal merchants like BLACK SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN, SHADOWS FALL, MUDVAYNE, IN FLAMES and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER is unexpected, to say the least.
WICKED WISDOM is an EVANESCENSE-esque act that Pinkett Smith, the band's frontperson and the wife of actor/rapper Will Smith, has said is influenced by ANI DIFRANCO, PRINCE, TORI AMOS and SEVENDUST. The group also includes a guy named Pocket on guitar, another fellow named Rio on bass, keyboardist Cameron Graves and drummer Satnam Ramgotra. This summer's Ozzfest stint will mark WICKED WISDOM's first North American tour: The group primarily performs club gigs in and around Los Angeles, although it has opened for PAPA ROACH and was the support act for BRITNEY SPEARS' 2004 European tour.

you hypersensitive twat. what i meant was,
ozzfest is the biggest display of metal in the united states. to most people (like slipknot fans) this is the ultimate metal haven.
what i've been saying for the last 2 years is that ozzfest blows huge goat and is a corporate machine. they just hide their motives by having at least one crowd pleasing band.
they just stack the rest of the bill with generic sh** metalcore and will smiths sex slave

whats wrong with the hardcore scene? .... i'm going to sounds of the underground tour here in phoenix and i can't wait!! its mostly hardcore as you may know .... i have never seen opeth or strapping young lad though, I CANT WAIT TO SEE SYL!!!! they fukking tear it up!
OZZFEST does suck and is a huge money machine .... its one of the only ways they get to rape metal fans every year .... tickets are overpriced and the venue sux (here in phoenix the stage is like 100 yards away from the stage, behind all the seating) food and drinks are insanely priced, worse than any baseball or basketball game i have ever been to ....
the SOTU tour is playing in a grass amphitheatre that i can go mosh in about 2 feet from the stage! gotta love that!

This is the biggest sign that Ozzy is done. How the HELL can a band like that even be CONSIDERED for Ozzfest? Sharon saw the greenbacks and ran with them. F*CK Ozzy, Sharon and here annoying children. Ozzy will never see another one of my dollars EVER again....Gigantour here I come....

This is why OFF-FEST shows are so great, it's usually a nonconformed tour that the venue books and cheap, and you only get five or six bands for a show, most from the second stage and one or two from the mainstage.
Trouble is, their a second stage band, who's to say they won't be on an Off-fest date or two?

So I don't mind a diverse Ozzfest bill. I'm all for it! But an R&B band that opened for Britney f***ing Spears? Helen Keller could have chosen a better band to fill the final slot. This kind of sh** should be kept far, far away from Ozzfest. There are a bajillion more talented METAL or at least hardcore bands that could have filled that slot. So why not pick one?? Whoever signed Wicked Wisdom to Ozzfest was either held at gunpoint to do so, or had just snorted some lines.

I have some respect for Sharon Osbourne, being that she saved Ozzy's a$$ and a number of other things. It says in the other article on this site, Jada Upsets Ozzfest fans, that Sharon's a fan of the band. If she's a fan of the band, I'm sure she could have gotten them onto some other tour. Correct me if I'm wrong, but an R&B/rock band has never been on Ozzfest. Maybe this really is the last year of Ozzfest if Sharon is making decision like putting a band such as Wicked Wisdom on the tour.

There are some bands on Ozzfest that I f***ing love, but I agree...the price is way too steep. The price for a lawn ticket jumped up 20 bucks from last year (at the New Jersey venues). I don't think Ozzy and Sharon need any more money in their pockets. If Ozzfest dies off, then I hope Sounds of the Underground will stick around. You will definitely find me at the NJ SOTU.

i think that SOTU will be better than Gigantour due to SYL and LoG being on SOTU ... plus Opeth and Gwar ... should be sweet ... I want to go to Gigantour but its in this massive pavillion and they charge between $75 to $150 for pit tix no matter who is playing ... its like $115 after fees and all that sh** to get an ozzfest pit pass there, probably the same for gigantour ...
