Discuss “"Real" metal reappears at Ozzfest 2004”

A gathering of the tribes, a celebration of all things abrasive and aggressive, sweaty pits and asphalt. This was the day, two weekends ago, known as Ozzfest 2004. Gone was the amorphous line-up, bottom-heavy with no-name, major-label ?heavy? bands. Out with the Linkin Park, in with the lamb of god. Adema? Funk that, give me Lacuna Coil, give me Black Label Society, and throw in a little Black Sabbath too, why don?t you? Cause let?s face it, if you like metal, nu-metal sucks.

In fact, bring out the heavy-hitters; let?s see Rob Halford wail through ?Painkiller? with his mates in Priest. Why not have Slayer open for them ? imagine Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman with their dual attack before K.K. and Tipton? And have Dimmu Borgir open for them....
