Is it going to be one of those things where you have to complete 10 offers than pick one of two premium offers??? I stil haven’t received my laptop or IPOD : (

Knowing Sharon I’m sure the fans or the other artists (Ozzy excluded of course)will get screwed somehow.

Well this is great. First, artists can’t make money selling cd’s, and now you wont be able to make any money playing live. Thanks rich fucking assholes! Go back to your heroin den and let the indie band earn some fucking money….

I’d rather fill a fire extinguisher with habanero sauce and blast it up my ass than go to Ozzfest, even a free one.

Viva la revolucion!

I think its an amazing idea…I haven’t been to a concert for a major band in 5+ years because nobody deserves that much of my money (except Radiohead…I broke down for Radiohead…).

Only problem being that I would totally go to a free concert like this one…even tho I probably won’t like but one band they announce. Metal kids, get ready for fogies with guts hanging out and sunblocked noses.

FREE = GOOD

I hate Geoff Lutz, and That’s all I have to say about that!

I completely agree man, Geoff Lutz sucks hardcore.

But obviously, Sonic is the Fastest thing alive!

It’s a great idea!! Now if they can just do something about the $20 parking, $10 beer, and $5 water.

i think probably the main “catch” will be that the bands will be a notch down from years past. It kind of makes sense right, I mean what mid to low level band isn’t going to jump at the chance to play Ozzfest with or without a paycheck behind it.

It’s like a Heavy Metal Happy Hour!!!

\m/

Free isn’t good enough. If they pay me $100/hour to go to Ozzfest, I might consider it.

Let me know if you need any assistance….

lame. they haven’t paid most of their bands since the beginning of ozzfest. Sharon gets paid out from a percentage of the bands merch sales. Always did.

you probably have to get drink pepsi painted onto each one of your eyelids before you are allowed inside. as for the bands? well in between each song they have to talk about how great it is to use gold-bond medicated powder on their ass

or they will hire the Hells Angels as security…

I can’t have bubbles Sharon, I’m the f—— prince of darkness.
We might see bubbles

as long as they can book that nugent band from supergroup and hand out free earplugs

Sharon is a crazy shrewed buisness tycoon using Ozzy as her product. Its pretty cool if you think about it.

See ya at Ozzfest

hmmm…. this is fuckin awsome news but im suspicious… theyll probily get you on the parking, food, drinks, ect. and theyll have mostly crappy bands, but hey, ill still go just to see ozzy. but still… mabye everyone will have to have advertisement logos on their stomach like that crazy woman on the news

Must wear ..ozz t-shirt to get in the gate. RRP $65

With sponsors logos plaster all over it.

Muhhahah just like a Will Smith movie.

great… a free concert with bands like Hinder and Sevendust. sounds like something I wouldn’t waste gas money on

Ozzy freakin RULES!!

Sharon as got the biggest balls of anyone in metal ,dudes included.

Free music = GOOD

Well there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and if its too good to be true it usually is. So I think there is some major BS going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about…yet.

Sounds to me like somebody missed the snack time!

Sounds like a plan for disaster if you ask me. I dig Ozzy, but I’ll be staying far, far away from a show like that.

Who cares? Who would go see Ozzy anyway? Most overrated singer/stage whore/’artist’ ever. They should pull a Saddam on him, and hang him at one of the concerts. Now THAT I would pay a grand to see…’til his neck be broke’

Skull, if I ever meet you, you’re a fu$king dead man.

You two should get on your knees and take turns servicing me

I’m so gay, and I’m proud of it. That’s why I actually love Ozzy, the problem is that he turned me down when I tried to lick between his legs. He’s so beautiful

Who will attend a free metal concert…all the losers who have nothing better to do than go a big free event and cause trouble.
I guarantee it.
I’m staying far away…

They need to have Guns N’ Roses this year. I would go for that.

No way ozzfest will be free. Ozzfest sucks now anyway, so I could care less. 10 bucks for flat beer, yeah right.

OzzFest 2007 * (sponsered by Bank of America) Bitchin Man!!!

ten faceless metal bands you’ve never heard of…

even more ridiculous prices for food and water than last time…

thousands of people who got in free and don’t feel much responsibility to metal or the experience of their fellow concert goer…

pathetic and embaressing sponsorship further pissing on the legacy of a performer who revolutionized rock n’roll in black sabbath but has since lost all credibility.

This is fantastic news. I always love going to shows where people go because it’s free. Makes for a great music experience 90% of the time. And the corporate sponsorship angle? More brilliance. Kind of like watching “free” videos on MTV, AOL, Clear Channel, etc. Maybe they’ll find a way to have commercials between each song and the bands will have to have corporate logos on their outfits and equipment. But hey, it’s “free” so that’s great, right?

Music News and Information:

What they’re going to do is the same as the “Get a free Ipod” Or “radio xbox 360″ routines People have to jump through several sponsored hoops – including signing up for services and purchasing goods online – to get the tickets. and here’s the kicker – no one under 18 is allowed to participate in these sorts of promotions.

better than ozzfest

http://www.myspace.com/3rd cultureband

I’m wearing a sweater!

my guess is that there will be a commercial featuring Ozzy for some product and there will be tons of booths at the event (and banners) they won’t turn this into an informercial..and they will get tons of press and back-to-back sellout shows…and I will FINALLY get to see Ozzy and check him off the list(Prince, Radiohead, Neil Young, Brian Wilson and then I will have seen all of my heroes…took 25 years to do it)

oooh. i think i smelling something. oh yeah, it must be britney coochie. she has funky smell on her muff i think. yeah, she skank.

This means that all the fans money will go to band merch. which helps bands directly. Only Sharon Osbourne has the balls and the brains to pull this off!!!
OZZFEST 2007.

How the hell do we get tickets,dont just talk about it DO IT !!!!!

Slipknot will be there.

Please let us have SABBATH.

Nice idea to get the dudes at Playstation, Trojan and Jaeger to pay even more $$ Sell more merch. and CD’s at the FYE tent and all is well.
But will all the sponosrs BITE? no. but most of the bands do! the only one worth a DAMN in 2006 was BLACK LABEL SOCIETY. Ozzy has lost his Fastball. PRINT IT

Why not go? As long as I dont have to fill out a bunch of bullshit online surveys then I am there, man.

And I Sevendust at OzzFest with TOOL and they were amazing(sure that was about 7-8 years ago, but still)…man, I am getting old.

They pissed off too many Maiden fans two years ago with the egging incident and now they’re scrambling for ways to stay afloat.

You know, many of the second-stage bands have had to Pay to Play for years now anyway. They’re making money demanding that struggling bands pay for the privilege of playing versus the other way around. This whole thing smells like a marketing pit on the order of MySpace. ugh

Damn, I can’t wait to get tickets

You’re all a bunch of freakin’ slaves…..

Free!Thats fucking sweet.Ozzfest is the best traveling festival by far.Ive read on the net that Alice in Chains,Killswitch Engage
Godsmack,HellYeah or Down are slated to be on the bill with others joining city to city and Ozzy headlining.For free thats a hell of a show, i’d even pay to see that.

I suck at guitar.

honestly… id rather just pay the 50 bucks or whatever… this over complicates things

FREE!!! Lets do some basic math shall we.

Parking $20-25
Water $4-$5 each
Beer $8-$10 each
Food $25 for day
Shirt, hat, whatever $100.00

FREE-I think Not

hmmm….free is awesome but well get some preppy kids all dressed up wearin hollister n that crap, who only no ozzy as that guy who bit a head off a bat. every 2 out of 5 kids will b a tru metal fan, the other 3 are just ther to b punks

FREE……….CAN’T AFFORD IT.

Bill Hogan
1994

Free. I can’t afford it.

I just want to know where to get them………..WHERE CAN I GET THE TICKETS?????????????????

I don’t know, I’m skeptical. Let’s see what they say after they sober up and realize they have to organize this thing. Remember “No More Tours”?

Here’s something else to think about . . . it’s free, but you HAVE TO HAVE TICKETS. Good luck getting them.

I applaud the idea though.

Hey Shinerbockman, do the world a favor and put a gun in your mouth. That is all.

(Jesus, ya can’t please some people).

Are you guys nuts? This fuckin’ rules!!!

Ozzy’s a talentless asshole, and his wife is a well known whore..

I think I would rather just pay the money for the tickets. That’d seperate the fans from the little queers who just need something to do…

This is a great idea, but let’s see who they are going to get to play. The Used pherhaps? ba ha ha ha!

so does anyone know HOW we are supposed to get tickets. Are they still gonna be able to get them through ticket master……(prolly not) just wondering here.

I herd STP is going to play at ozzzzzfest?

OMG….im soooo freakin psyched about ozzfest this year!…..i wonder if we can still get tickets thru ticketmaster?…..anyone know?….well, no matter what bands are playing at ozzfest this year, im sure everyone will have a kick ass time!……OZZY FUCKIN ROCKS MAN!!!!!

If they bring Hinder, you’ll get your money’s worth.

I am happy about this choice that Ozzy and Sharon has done . As we all know Ozzfest was made for a reasion , So Rock on and lets all have a good time !

This is great brings me back to those day’s at Sheeps Meadow and Golden Gate Park. Just one reminder don’t make it like Woodstock was don’t destroy a good thing!

where do we get tickets and how.Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Hey i dont know about you guys but I would rsther just buy my tickets then have to kick the the hell out of some little fake ozzy fans for being stupid,starting fights,and sh!t.But if you want tickets,sign up at ozzfest.com….they will email you when its time ,youll be the first to get tickets.

Bite me Ozzie

Free my a$$! Last I checked you had to bid online to even get a fu@#%ng ticket! I would rather buy a ticke than put up with fake fans. PS: People who go to free concerts usually don’t have a whole lot of money, and probably won’t buy a whole lot of merchandise dipshits!
