    OZZFEST 2010 - Ozzy, Crue, Halford and a big surprise on the second stage...

    yes, I'm being sarcastic...

    OZZY OSBOURNE, MÖTLEY CRÜE, HALFORD Top OZZFEST 2010 Bill - Apr. 30, 2010
    More than 15 years after OZZY OSBOURNE debuted Ozzfest, the defining blueprint for hard rock tours and festivals returns this August in six American cities with an explosive bill co-headlined by Ozzy and, in their first-ever Ozzfest appearance, MÖTLEY CRÜE — touring together for the first time with Ozzy since he invited the group on their now-legendary 1984 arena tour. Expect the energy to go way off the charts at the all-day extravaganza of music and deranged merriment.

    The 2010 Ozzfest will kick off August 14 in San Bernardino (the birthplace of the first Ozzfest in 1996) and then make stops in Chicago, Illinois; Hartford, Connecticut; Camden, New Jersey; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Boston, Massachusetts.

    The main stage will feature full sets from OZZY, MÖTLEY CRÜE and HALFORD (whose frontman Rob Halford last appeared on Ozzfest in 2004 with JUDAS PRIEST), performing songs from Rob Halford's solo career along with material from JUDAS PRIEST and FIGHT. DEVILDRIVER and NONPOINT will round out the main-stage lineup. Second-stage headliners and six-time Ozzfest veterans BLACK LABEL SOCIETY will be joined by DROWNING POOL, KINGDOM OF SORROW, GOATWHORE, SKELETONWITCH, SAVIOURS and KATAKLYSM.

    Each Ozzfest date will include 13 bands on two stages with music beginning at 1: 00 p.m. In addition, concert-goers can once again visit the Ozzfest "Village of the Damned" featuring a mix of interactive activities, shopping and entertainment throughout the venue concourses.

    These Ozzfest dates mark the first concerts in the U.S. in connection with the June 15 release of "Scream" (Epic Records), the Ozzfest founder's first album in three years and 10th studio album overall. Produced by Ozzy and Kevin Churko, both of whom did the same honors for Ozzy's 2007 worldwide million-seller "Black Rain", the album will feature the first single "Let Me Hear You Scream".

    The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famer recorded most of "Scream" at his Los Angeles home studio, The Bunker, and co-wrote all the songs, primarily with Churko. Notably, the album marks the first appearance of Ozzy's new guitar player, Gus G. (FIREWIND, ex-DREAM EVIL, ARCH ENEMY). Ozzy's band also features bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson, drummer Tommy Clufetos (ex-ROB ZOMBIE, ALICE COOPER) and keyboardist Adam Wakeman.

    OZZY OSBOURNE

    Could be worse.

    I am seeing Maiden at that same venue the previous month. Much more satisfying to me than the entire lineup of Ozzfest 2010.

    So when Ozzy blows off a gig and can't sing, will Halford fill in for him along with his own set? Like he did when Priest was on the Ozzfest tour. Or like he did in 1992 when Dio backed out of the Sabbath I vs Sabbath II showdown.

    Well I guess things aren't to bitter with Ozzy/Sharon & Zakk. He gave Zakk(BLS) the top spot on the 2nd stage.

    But like was mentioned. No way I am going with that average at best lineup.

    There are actually some great bands on that bill - Devildriver slay live, and Goatwhore as scary-heavy, one of the most intense bands that I know of.

    Kingdom of Sorrow is a side project from Kirk Windsteen (Crowbar, Down) and Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) - they made a truly beautifully heavy first record, well worth a listen.

    However, this bill desperately needs a couple of 'names' to round itself out...

    Zakk essentially found out that he was fired by a newspaper reporter whilst Ozzy was secretly looking for a new guitar player. Zakk has shown class in dealing with this, and is loyal to the end - a lesser man would have gone apeshit, and I don't think that many would have resented it if he had. Regardless of what people think of Zakk-era Ozzy, no-one could deny how loyal a side-kick he's been all of these years........

    I dunno, binnie. Listen to the commentary at this LINK, and tell me that Zakk took the high road in this. Saying you want to kick someone's ass in a back alley doesn't sound like it to me.

    I hadn't come across that before, and in all of the interviews I've come across since Zakk seems to have moved on. To be fair, he has every right to be pissed off, yet another example of Ozzy and sharon shitting over the guys that heled to forge their success.

    The ironic thing is that Ozzy has hired a Zakk-clone - Gus G plays the Ozzy songs like Zakk becuae he's never heard the originals.
