Avenged Sevenfold and DragonForce Confirmed for Ozzfest 2006 Main Stage

Band Photo: Atreyu (?)
It comes as little surprise that Avenged Sevenfold have been officially confirmed as the mystery band on the main stage for Ozzfest 2006. The real surprise announcement is that power metal band Dragonforce, recently signed to Roadrunner Records in North America and rumored to be joining Gigantour 2006, has been added as the main stage opener as well.
Ozzy Osbourne is now slated to headline the second stage on three dates (replacing some dates that he was previously thought to be headlining the main stage):
July 8 - San Bernardino, CA's Hyundai Pavilion of Glen Helen
July 11 - San Antonio, TX at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater
July 22 - East Troy, WI at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre
OZZY says, "After 10 years of headlining Ozzfest's main-stage I think it's time for a change. I haven't had a chance to play this close to an audience in years and I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to it."
Also announced is that Ozzfest emcee Big Dave and professional Ozzfest party guy, Eddie, have begun their nationwide search visiting 19 of the festival's 26 cities to find the first-ever Miss Ozzfest. The duo will be accepting entries and taking photographs of Miss Ozzfest candidates in each city. Throughout the summer the Ozzfest fans can vote for your favorites at Ozzfest.com. All entries collected from Big Dave and Eddie will be posted for you to vote on. The top three in each city will be awarded FREE tickets to the show in their city, where at some point during the evening's festivities, the three contestants will be presented on stage to the fans who will vote on a winner. Photos of each winning contestant, including the top vote getters from Raleigh and West Palm Beach, will be posted once again on Ozzfest.com, where fans can pick their Miss Ozzfest 2006. Final voting will be held at Ozzfest.com on August 7 and 8. The winning beauty will be awarded the grand prize and receive round trip airfare and accommodations for her and a guest to attend the year's final show August 13 in West Palm Beach where she'll be crowned Miss Ozzfest 2006.

Yes, Ozzfest does officially suck this year - except for Between the Buried and Me and Dragonforce. A7X isn't f***ing worthy of main stage on Ozzfest. ARCH ENEMY DOES NOT SUCK SO SHUT THE f*** UP! Unholy Alliance will be sweet with SLAYER, LAMB OF GOD, and CHILDREN OF BODOM. But yeah, Ozzfest lineup does suck this year. Hatebreed, Disturbed, Lacuna Coil - f*** THAT!

7. writes:
Hatebreed, Dragonforce, Unearth, Strapping Young Lad, BLS are all pretty good, I don't think I''ll be paying $50 for a ticket, and probably another $60 for food and beer for this tour though.
The Slayer tour is the only big tour to look forward to this summer, i don't know who's on the Gigantour this year.

what the F**K is ozzy thinking bringing Avenged 7fold ,the best main stage would be this:Ozzy, BLack Label Society, Rob Zombie, Slipknot, And Down. if only Ozzy would get his head out of his a$$ then we would see these bands but no hes gotta GIVE sh**y bands like Avenged7FOLD a spot on the main stage. What the f***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

20. writes:
hatebreed, SYL, red chord, unearth, bleeding through, and walls of jericho, only bands worth goind to see, and the prices for tickets are way too high for that shiite. and how does the mainstage go from 2 years ago having slayer and judas priest and last year with iron maiden to this year with avenged sevenfold? that is insane. SOTU and UHA are cheaper and 50x better.
all shall go and all shall be slain

OZZFEST SUCKS BALLS!! If you have A7X and Hatebreed as mainstage, that's f***ing crap. Dragonforce is good power metal - only band worthy of main stage. Nightmare you're a f***ing dumbass. Arch Enemy, Bodom, OPETH, In Flames all f***ing rule. Btw, who DO you like that you THINK is decent?

can everyone who posts a message about a7x....or any band that gets radio play....take a look back...realize what they are listening too and stop hating. its so ridiculous that just because a band sings they are automatic sellouts and losers. they obviously dont suck a$$ and are way more talented than anyone in cannibal corpse or any band playing at sound of the underground. you arrogant bastards have such a narrow view of music that its hard to read your comments....open your minds and stop being bastards....now im going to get 10 posts on how im a "dumb fag"...why dont you come up with a good argument and use it against me....because liking a7x, listening to classical music, being a fan of nu metal, and speaking my mind doesnt automatically make me like men and c*** in my mouth.......oh....and....from a guy who knows about music...slayer has no talent and they blow
ozzfest is bomb

This ozzfest will not be that bad. System can put on a good show, as can A7X. And why does everyone hate them so much? Have any of you actually listened to them? With city of evil, they really came into their own and found the sound they have always wanted. Their guitar players can really shred, and their drummer is pretty good as well. It just so happened that tons of people liked Bat Country (one of the weaker songs on the album) and they got popular, and now you dis them.But some of you will freely admit "they used to be a good band." What, they jumpto a major label, get radio airplay, and surprisingly end up on TRL, and all of a sudden they suck? I'm certain they will gain a lot of new fans on the fest. As for the rest of it, hatebeed puts on a hell of a show but i don't think they should be on the mainstage - they don't have a mainstage kind of show. Dragonforce will be ridiculous yet entertaining, as always. The side stage headliners suck balls (Sure, Zakk can shred but BLS' songs are terrible, and unearth will at least put on a good show). Of the rotating bands, SYL, Walls, and Full Blown all put on really fun shows and should get the crowd interacting. BTBAM will slay every one else on this fest, though - it's a shame they probably will only get 20-30 minutes

44. writes:
As a side note, does anyone remember who was on the fest last year? Velvet Revolver, and the fans ate them up. VR and A7X both have that c***y, rockstar attitude and play somewhat similar styles heavy rock (A7X is a little more on the metal side.) The fans are going to love their performance.

45. writes:
For real, Matt. You guys need to listen to "Trashed and Scattered", "The Wicked End", and Pretty much everything else off of all of their albums and tell me that sh** aint heavy. Sure, it's no cannibal corpse or slayer (I love both bands, BTW). What it is is actual musicians who have a concept of music and song structure, and that alone makes puts them a step above slayer and CC.





51. writes:
I can not belive that Ozzfest made everyone think that this suprise guest was going to be a HUDGE. I think Aveng sevenfold suck I really don't think they are even METAL they are more like skate punk music. They should be on tour with the warp tour not Ozzfest. I think this is going to lose alot of metal fans this year.

O yeah, and Ozzfest looks pritty expensive again. It's all about money and selling out big. Theres absolutely no "Metal" bands involves in this fest at All!! Take out Ozzy and put in more MTV watched bands to make up for all the "OZZY" fans that won't be there this year. Don't get me wrong, all the bands on the line up are very good bands and do sell a lot of records and merch, but THEY ARE NOT METAL!!
OZZFEST '2004 was the best line up ever!!
BLACK SABBATH
JUDAS PRIEST
DIMMU BORGIR
SUPERJOINT RITUAL
BLS
SLIPKNOT
LAMB OF GOD
GOD FORBID
DEVILDRIVER
Bring back the Metal!!!!

this is why leary is god:
BEWARE OF MONOTHEISM
Monotheism is the primitive religion which centers human consciousness on Hive Authority. There is One God and His Name is (substitute Hive-Label). If there is only One God then there is no choice, no option, no selection of reality. There is only Submission or Heresy. The word Islam means "submission." The basic posture of Christianity is kneeling. Thy will be done. Monotheism therefore does no harm to hive-oriented terrestrials (Stages 10, 11 and 12) who eagerly seek to lay-off responsibility on some Big Boss. Monotheism does profound mischief to those who are evolving to post-hive stages of reality. Advanced mutants (Stages 13 to 18) do make the discovery that "All is One," as the realization dawns that "My Brain creates all the realities that I experience." The discovery of Self is frightening because the novitiate possessor of the Automobile Body and the Automobile Brain must accept all the power that the hive religions attributed to the jealous Jehovah. The First Commandment of all monotheisms is: I am the Lord, thy God: Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. All monotheisms are vengeful, aggressive, expansionist, intolerant.
Stage 10: Islam-Catholicism
Stage 11: Protestant Evangelism
Stage 12: Communist-Dulles Imperialism
It is the duty of a monotheist to destroy any competitive heresy. Concepts such as devil, hell, guilt, eternal damnation, sin, evil are fabrications by the hive to insure loyalty to Hive Central. All these doctrines are precisely designed to intimidate and crush Individualism. The process of mutating into Self-hood plunges the mutant into this cross fire of neurogenetic moral flak. Most of the freak-outs, bad trips and hellish experiences are caused by Monotheistic Morality. Again, it must be emphasized, that Monotheism is a necessary stage. Monotheism is a technology, a tool, to bring pre-civilized tribespeople and caste-segregated primitives into the collectives necessary to develop the post-hive, post-terrestrial technologies.
The major evolutionary step is taken when the individual says: "There is only one God who creates the universe. This God is my Brain. As the driver of this Brain I have created a universe in which there are innumerable other Gods of equal post-hive autonomy with whom I seek to interest. And my universe was, itself, created by a Higher Level of Divinity—DNA, whose mysteries and wonders I seek to understand and harmonize with."
From The Intelligence Agents by Dr. Timothy Leary, Ph.D

Heres a tour worth seeing in my mind....
In Flames, Soilwork, Arch Enemy, DImmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth (Re-united with their old members and only playing old sh**), Pantera (With a Dimebag Zombie who will play better than anyone even if his fingers fall off), Mastadon

bradisp***ed - post 126 - damn, man. that says exactly what I've always felt, but so much better than I could ever hope to articulate. I love the Hive analogy, it fits perfectly.
Has anyone seen that odd Quantum Theory-based movie, "What the Bleep?", or the sequel "Down the Rabbit Hole"?. I just recently watched the first, and it blew my mind. It explained the how's and why's of everything I'd already thought about, and not only that, but grounded all this on Quantum Theory possibilities - immensely interesting, stimulating and wonderful.
sorry if that was a tad off-topic, but let's face it, it's a better topic than Avenged Sevenfold ever will be.

Red devil is obviously fat, ugly, bored, autistic and lonely....He has to stage a "war" against deathbringer because:
A.) No significant other male or female....Ugly and socially awkward equates to too much free time.
B.) He gets attention here for being fat, stupid, ugly and lonely by also being a d*** and filling up deathbringers server space.
C.) People who are bored enough to copy and paste a bunch of pre-school level rants also must be boring people....
Red Devil is brought to you by: No friends. No job. No sex. Bad parenting. and the letter Y.

i was so excited to hear what the "mystery" band was going to be on the main stage at ozzfest, but now i find out its avenged sevenfold? duuude this sucks, i thought it would be a real metal band like mabye slipknot , down , or maiden, well at least something better then AX7! i totally agree with fukk trivium about ozzfest 2004 being the best one yet, all the bands they had kicked serious ass, 2005 ozzfest was also wicked, too bad 2006 is not gonna be as good as the 2 with the exceptions of Hatebreed, BLS and Ozzy!

Rock and rap...Anthrax was cool, that's about it. Korn f***in sucks. I like all sorts of tunage, but Nu-metal was just plain sh**. No melody aside from silly teen-angst ridden, "my daddy beats me and humps my leg" vocals. Personally, I love bands from Opeth to Katatonia to Dimmu Borgir to a7x. They all offer something different, musically, and for the most part, some of them don't drop lower than dropped d. They wave of nu-metal bullsh** ruined guitar in a sense, becasue they couldn't play. And I hate when people say, "technical music isn't from the heart, blah blah blah..." People who adjust their strings so they can use one finger are not musical geniuses... They are lazy bastards who don't even listen to metal...They listen to hip hop and say, "yo, that sh** would be tight if they threw some of that dunt dunt dunt guitar sh** all up in to da mix, yo". I could go on all day, but I wont. Bottom line, Kron sucks. So does Chevelle, and Limp Bizkit, along with Disturbed, System of a Down, Linkin Park. I'm glad the 1997-2001 era of metal is over. It makes me chuckle to find out that a few people still listen to that doodie.
Nu metal sucks. Amen

Hey Nu Metal Sucks, you should learn what tuning some of these metal band play in before you diss the TUNING. Who cares what tuning they are in as long as it kicks ass. Did you know that Lamb of God is all Drop D? Oh I bet you didn't did you a$$hole? Learn what you're talking about it before you say it.

Ok quit complaining, at most of you guys will see Ozzy, it looks like he's isn't performing in my town. And he wasnt supposed to be performing at all this year, so deal. And this is from someone that has listened to Ozzy all her life, plus other great bands of the years that some people that are posting on here have probably never listened to. Feel free to flame this comment, i'm used to people insulting my own personal thoughts, I just know they are all pretty low on their own self esteem and mentallity.

I like line up korndogg had with Lynyrd Skynyrd and Pink Floyd. to bad Floyd arn't togeather and Lynyrd Skynyrd is dead so is John Bonham. I would add AC/DC and ressurect Bon Scott. Along with Iron Maiden if Sharon doesn't kick them out again. Add Rob Zombie, Tool, Judas Priest, Guns 'N' Roses (if you can get them back togeather. just take a little cash in Axel Rose's Face that will get him to appologize) , Marilyn Manson, The Who, Rage Against The Machine, Motorhead, and maybe Twisted Sister. There are more but i don't want to ramble.

good to see them getting attn, sure, but I wouldn't say they're the best...
is Pantera not power metal? and Slayer?
actually, here's something that's always confused me; could somebody please explain to me the difference between Power and Thrash metal? I hear both terms used in regards to the same bands (ie metallica, slayer, pantera etc) so often that I'm really not sure what's what with those two genres any more.

psythe:
the term "power metal" originated as a term to describe the sound of the nwobhm coming over seas. it's a genre of metal that has to do with more melody,more focus on the vocal work, upbeat and faster time signatures, and typically more "flashy" guitar leads. the one aspect you will notice right away is the presentation of the vocals. usually very high pitched or emotionally strong. just think rob halford, d***enson, and tait. most of the lyrical content has to do with fantasy concepts like blind guardian and dio (although maiden did historical issues that were usually biased to the brits and judas priest just sang about wearing leather).
there is actually a sub-genre of power thrash that bands like 3 inches of blood and iced earth play

Then you put in the best bass players and drummers to make the most incredible band out there. Talk about making a hell of an up-roar. I say someone put any of these guys togeather and i will assure you they will make multi-platinum on any record they put out.

KORNDOGG HOW CAN U LIKE LYNYRD SKYNYRD AND NEIL YOUNG!!! THEY f***ING HATE EACH OTHER!!! EVER LISTEN TO SWEET HOME ALABAMA? WHEN THEY SAID WE DON'T WANT HIM ANYMORE LYNYRD SKYNYRD WAS TALKING ABOUT NEIL YOUNG AND EVENTUALLY HE DIED WITH HIS FEUD AND WAS BURIED WEARING A NEIL YOUNG SHIRT!!!

thanks for the update, brad. I always just referred to Priest etc as nwobhm, though I'm pretty sure it was Priest that developed the "power chord"... no matter, I think I get it now. thanks again.
Neil Young is great. So are Simon & Garfunkel, though now I think I'm getting a bit TOO pop :/
the doors, the who, cream and moody blues are cool, too.
lol, who HASN'T listened to Sweet Home Alabama??!

Ok I'm going to come on here, tell everyone what REAL metal is. I'm also gonna make a list of sh** that is way more fvckin metal than what you listen too. I'm so metal it's coming out of the back of my pants. Oh and I swear Ozzfest sucks cause they put all those crappy bands on there. They should have read my list and then it would have ruled! Some of you people need to get a girlfriend and stop masturbating to this site.

To Post 221,
Who are you to say what real metal is you d*psh*t. Did you know that most bands don't even agree on wether or not Led Zepplin is metal? Thats your opinion, so don't come on in here and say "I"ll tell you all what REAL metal is." If you would have worded that different I would've had a little respect for you. Don't be an a$$.
