no canadian dates for this year's ozzfest? that f***king sucks. must be difficult to get some of the band members into the country. either way, SJR ,atreyu,lamb of god etc. is a huge improvement instead of korn,soad,disturbed etc. idea of priest reunited is cool and i guarantee slayer will steamroll everyone and everything.

whats up with all you dump kids? do any of you know talent?, i like slipknot and their good, but Mushroomhead has more talent than slipknot will ever have. i so easy to write hate and anger in your music,thats why sell out korn and linkinpark have so much fame. try to give your music deep meaning and see what you get! dont get me wrong i love slipknot, but us cleveland kids have a stronger following in the underground band mrh. what kind of fans do you have in iowa???. Your a a$$ when you compare slipknot to MushRoomHead. Cause we all know who came first. so f*** all the fa**ots, oops i mean Magots

"Where is Disturbed, Korn ,MM, Chevelle....." Back on MTV, not here. The lineup is amazing, too bad I won't get to see it this year. I'm glad Metallica won't be there, they'd just bring in the idiots who don't even know who Dimmu is. Slayer is still the best, though.

DallasMetalManiac you dumb f***!
"Disturbed is badass" you must be smokin crack or maybe you're just dumb f***in c***. Those fools were at Ozzfest how many years in a row? When they were on the main stage one year the lead singer was begging the crowd to get involved and get up but everyone just flipped off that lame little b****.
SuperJointRitual will blow them off the stage everytime
f*** off! and get down with your sickness you stupid f***

killyourself, you sound pretty f***ing stupid if you think that piece-of-sh**-poser-ass band disturbed is hardcore sh**!! That means a lot from someone who has AFI in their CD player, with gayass chevelle in their hand headbanging to POD and Limp Bizkit!!!! f*** YOU f*** THE RED, f*** THE SICKNESS,f*** THE YOUTH OF THE NATION, AND MOST OF ALL f*** YOU MAINSTREAM POSER a$$ JOCKEYS AND SHUT THE HELL UP b****ES!!!!!!!

69. writes:
MURDER1, SHOW RESPECT FOR THE GOD OF METAL YOU POSER a$$ b****!!!!!!!! THAT IS VERY DISAPOINTTING TO SEE EVERYONE GET UP AND LEAVE WHEN OZZY WALKS THE STAGE.....SHOWS THAT ALL THESE QUEERS THAT GO TO OZZFEST IS TO SEE CRAZYTOWN, ANDREW W.K, POD, AND GAYASS MUSHROOM HEAD!!!! ALL HAIL OZZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MURDER1..... I PISS IN YOUR DIRECTION!!!!!!

What the F*U*C*K makes MushRoomHead gay!!??? your gay, so youd like to hear this:
i was at ozzfest last year, main stage sucked ex, ozzy and MM. any way i saw them in cleveland, and when M.M was on the stage w/hith his dancer it looked like he stuck the mic. in the girls as and sang out of it then pulled it out. was i just seeing things or did he do that at any other shows?






76. writes:
hahahahahaha colleen your right he did that in the other concerts it was great it actually looked like he shoved it in the girls a$$ it was hillarious, alright how about this all you morons quit talking about what band is better than the other. now shut the f**K up christ whinny fruits

77. writes:
Linkin park f***ing sucks they are the sh**tiest band ever why did ozzy let them play ozzfest 01
more crappy bands hes let play Chevelle (fagat a$$ emo) POD (f***ing jesus metal) Pulse Ultra (sh** in general) The Used (gay a$$ pop punk sh**) Taproot (sh**ty pop rock) Godsmack (bullsh** pop metal)

It's simply absurd not to come to Canada. Believe me, the crowd would be f***in crazy here! Why not the province of Quebec? Montreal is even a better metal city than Toronto. Iron Maiden's tours always stop both in Quebec city and Montreal, and it's always sold out! Same thing when Ozzy came, Slayer, Pantera, Hatebreed, etc. Were're just waiting for such a damn good show!!!

f*** METALLICA, f*** MARLYN MANSON, they dont need to be on ozzfest and im glad they're not, this is ozzfest goddammit, not GAYfest
ps mushroomhead and slipknot both kick ass, so u f***ers out there taking sides, learn to appreciate both bands for what they are trying to achieve, not what you think they are trying to achieve.





111. writes:
wheirs GUY ? he never anserwed me. who thinks its okay for band like cradil of filth to have peanios in there music but when a band like mushroomhead has some keybords it wrong? im not puttin down black metal or any thing it just real dumb he seid that.
and for some one how loves his metal music why did he go see godsmack?, thay try a little to hard to be alice in chains.





117. writes:

from an old hippy who followed sabbath back in the day and has lived to see the reunion and the festival grow to an enormous size...I must say this!
#1 it has never been nor ever will be about violence or "ripping heads off"
#2 If you are one of the crackerheads that come to see the kiddy bands and leave when Ozzy comes on I piss in your general direction
#3 if youre not a fan plz feel free to stay home you wont be missed!

yea- I got tired of reading the comments about halfway down because some dipshts couldn't just f***ing agree to disagree. Either way- Mushroomhead rocks, Atreyu rocks also, as do all the bands on the tour -minus Dimmu Bogir...thats my opinion however. and I wouldnt even be at the main stage at ALL except for BLS and SJR. but yes- they need a damned atlanta date. That is the ONLY way Id go- despite the overall badassness of the show's lineup. \m/ rock on, maggots \m/

Nig your a f***ing dumbass. don't you know judas priest was just about as mainstream as it gets when it comes to old school metal. I'm not kncking Priest cause they kick ass, but you need to know your history. and f*** it, if somethings main stream or not, weather it's good or not is what all you kids should be debating. sh**knot sucks, not cause they're main stream but becuase they have 5 too many members and for a band that has 9 guys in it none of them have talent. Look at Lynyrd Skynyrd they had 7 guys in that band and they all had a REAL job to do not f***in play with a godamn record player.

nig whats up your ass? hard-core poser, yea slipknot and mushroomhead do have poser fans. every band does, but REAL MushRoomHead fans are hard core. whay befor slipknot, whay befor the masked band craz was a band that got there first first big break with gwar. MushRoomHead!! f***in local band from cleveland w/ the most hard core following youll ever see. im sure you know that local bands have the best fans and following. so befor you guys go disin msh know your sh**! and Me, why would you compair lynyrd skynyrd with slipknot and mushroomhead? two diffrent types of music. so me what bands do you think are great?
