"Ozzfest is where we were born; it's been the breeding ground for many hard rock/heavy metal bands and it helped make us who we are. Sharon and Ozzy have both always been strong supporters of the band and we are honored to be doing this tour for a 4th time, and to be sharing the stage with some significant Ozzfest alumni." -David Draiman, Disturbed
Hm, where to start. I guess I'll let the quote lead me into talking about Disturbed first. I get to see my DISTURBED again!! I'm so god damn lucky to be able to see them twice in one year, and in two totally diffrent atmospheres. I'm totally confident they'll put on an amazing show, and it'll be unbelievably gratifying to see a thousand people rocking out to my favorite band.
And man, System of a Down. Check another major accomplishment down on your clipboard. Last year, two no. 1 billboard albums on debut; this year, a grammy and the headlining spot on Ozzfest. You guys fuckin' rock. I've wanted to see them badly since the Pledge of Allegiance tour they did with Slipknot in 2001, so this performance is five years coming. If nothing else proves your musical talent, the fact that Ozzy would have you perform in his place does so astoundingly.
Seeing both of them share the stage, and possibly with Ozzy alongside, is too much for words. I'm buying tickets Wednesday, and planning to go with Andrea and Caswell. I'm also looking forward to seeing all the other bands - Hatebreeed, Lacuna Coil, Black Label Society, Atreyu, Bleeding Through, Unearth, Norma Jean, and a slew of second stage rotators. The two most heavily rumoured mystery bands are Avenged Sevenfold and Manson.
Okay, that's all I have to say about Ozzfest for now.
Me? Eh, I'm getting along. Today I'm feeling pretty crappy, for a couple of reasons I guess. I had so many bad dreams last night that when I woke up I had to sort out what was real and what was ill-conceived. I slept past my alarm again and missed Rhetoric, which I should have gone to - weird because I went to bed really early. Guess I'll set two alarms from now on. I'm broke, but that certainly isn't out of the ordinary, and nothing to be upset about. And Philosophy is almost over. So I s'pose I'll do up my next paper after classes, since I have no desire to play Runescape... very strange. I miss Andrea and I think that if I were seeing her today, it would make everything better. But I'm not, so I'll just live with the slightly depressed, apathetic mood I woke up with for the day. Take care and God bless, everyone.
