we plan to be there most of the time it starts at 10 am iand ends around 11 PM, lots of bands! www.ozzfest.com/bands

It wil be between a 2 and 3 hour car trip to there

[KBHoleN1]

Ozzfest hmm? Too bad your parents are going to be there, or I know what I'd bring ... :bigsmile: :secret: :eek: :huh: :*pilot:

P.S. - Why do none of our smilies look high or drunk? It's a shame I can't express my feelings correctly through subtle smilie faces.

[Lordofzrings]

*adds dognuts to list*

Beer was already added by my dad but hes Driving =O

And i know the Parents are gonna sort of suck but my DAD is goingand hes the biggest Metalhead of us all hes been to like 100 concerts and knows the Lead Singer of Anthrax,(he has it framed somewhere)

[Lordofzrings]

sorry to double post but i was wondering about my PSP and my Ipod. if i bring them in the car with me should i be worried about them being stolen from insiide my car?

[Jeffery]

Yes. Take nothing you don't mind not owning.

[Lordofzrings]

but its a 2 hr cartrip!

[Match Strike]

What should you bring?

Better music is a good idea.

[max2k106]

but its a 2 hr cartrip!
Bring cards and play poker or something . . .

[Lordofzrings]

EDIT: i was talking about matchstike dissing metal

Bah, now were going to talk about musical talent, what do u listen to i suppose rap?

well rap has no talent whatsoever, anyone can say "words" and "Cuss's" fast,
If Snoop dog could play a Lead guitar id be impressed

Rapping is actually harder than most people think it is, it's just that most rappers today are wanabes and suck at it.

[Tama Drummer]

Though I don't like rap, I respect it and wouldn't say it has no talent.

A two hour drive is nothing. Just bring $10 to buy a drink or something.

Or some porn.

[Lordofzrings]

well 10$ would be good for McDonalds on the way i heard that a waterbottle cost around 4$ there and for like 8 hors that isnt good, although i did see somewhere it said to Re-fill it at a fountain or bathroom

You could pack a lunch/breakfast/whatever and not have to go to McDonalds...

[Lordofzrings]

no good, someone said no coolers for the concert, breakfast on the way is no big deal

[Jeffery]

No coolers no backbacks, nothing carried in.

That way you spend the $4 on a bottle of water.

[Zoticus]

Why should you spend $4.00 on a bottle of water? Don't they have beer at those things? If I was you I would bring Tylenol.

That's how places like that make money, make your overpay for food and water.
It's the same with theme parks. And I could be wrong, but I dont think Lordofzrings can legally buy beer.

Maybe if you actually care about your hearing and you are pretty close, ear plugs.

[meat.eater]

bring me.

[22woger22]

Bring your clothes. Never forget that. One time, I forgot to wear some clothes and I went to a concert and . . . . . .Well, you can guess the rest. :rolleyes:

-22-

[Match Strike]

I completely resent you implying that I listen to rap, my previous forum account was sub the hendrix. I also resent the implicatation that all rappers are talentless, bbut that's already been responded to.

Have a nice time :p.

[roody poo]

I have found that with concerts it is ALWAYS helpful to remember to take one thing above all else.... your ticket. Without it, you aint gonna see shit.

[KBHoleN1]

bring me.

Word, I agree, bring me too.

[insignifiGant]

Bring a girl.

[max2k106]

Condoms

[Revenge]

You are sooo lucky your goin to see the ozzfest, my friends wanted to go too, we heard iron maiden and black sabbath are playing, but not on the same day. Your lucky man, my first concert was Lynyrd Skynyrd on fathers day, my dad took me. Bring some fold out chairs (u wont want to stand the whole time), money (alot), Stay away from mosh pits ;) , Bring bottled water or soda or somethin'. Have fun at the ozzfest dude :)

[Revenge]

lol i dont believe him but he told me that when metallica was a garage band they invited him to play for them.
Metallica is my favorite band, did he seriously tell you that?

A condom, duh?

[Spit_101]

1) ear plugs
2) ear plugs
3) headache medicinePfff...old men. :cool:

Don't bring anything to the concerts. If you're up for buying swag, go back to your car and grab the cash. Buy what you want. Then put the valuables back in the car. Numerous people have had their wallets and other stuff stolen by idiots in the pits.

I'm going soon as well. Hope it lives up to last year. :coolpunk:

[Tama Drummer]

Bring some fold out chairs...
...Stay away from mosh pits

:huh:

[paulk6]

Crowdsurf.

Crowdsurfing at the Breaking Benjamin concert was one of the most fun things I've ever done. I'm planning to do again (Multiple times) at the Warped tour. And bring some money, you're probably gonna want to buy a shirt, or wristband, or something. Not to mention food and drinks.

What to bring:

Concert Ticket
Disposable Camera
Bottled Water
Some Cash
Earplugs (If you really care about your hearing)
Permanent Marker and something else like a Hat or Shirt for autograph(s) when you have the chance to get them.

Hmm, that's all I can think of.

By the way, bringing a condom with you when your dad is going with you can be pointless? :rolleyes:

[Tama Drummer]

By the way, bringing a condom with you when your dad is going with you can be pointless? :rolleyes:

Not if you'd bring one for him.

[max2k106]

Ok, condom has been mentioned like 3 or 4 times now :rolleyes:

[Sir Vivian]

Socks?

I needed Socks for Glastonbury =/

didn't need Socks for Live 8 though

[Doctor Love]

I don't like you. NO offense, but you always go out of your way to give me a hard time. /me no love max

My comment wasn't aimed directly at you. It was just a general statement notifying the people that participate in this thread that condom has already been mentioned 3 or 4 times.

[Sir Vivian]

I found out yesterday a femidom actually existed o_o''

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

Alright, I'm going to the opening date tomorrow and here's what I'm bringing:

My little sister (Deal was I chaperone her at Ozzfest and my mom buys tickets and t-shirts :bigsmile: )

T-shirt money

Food money

And to reiterate:

Avoid the pits if you don't wanna mosh, since I know a lot of friends that have been hurt at Ozzfest. I've been to a lot of concerts with some big metal bands but I expect these pits to be a bit rougher given the average drunken 21+ metalhead.

Don't bring valuable stuff into Ozzfest.

Don't bring earplugs unless you're a little wench. Because seriously, you're paying all this money to go see a ton of live bands. Have some fun with it and damage your hearing.

[Lordofzrings]

thanks Daemon, nice to hear from an Ozzfest Vet. Anyway this may be a n00b Question but are there really 2 stages at ozzfest?

and what time does it start/finish?i( i heard like 10AM or 11AM to llike 11PM)


Im going to the Hartford one on Sunday!

[Spit_101]

<---has been to Ozzfest twice. 2001 and 2004. :cool:

Yes, their are 2 stages. Only the 2nd stage has a pit. Check out ozzfest.com for the bands for each stage.

[Lordofzrings]

Im not soo retared as to not look at the website=p( i set it as my homepage hehe)
the stage question was because someone said the second stage bands comes on in between the first stage bands

hmm how far away are the stages?

We all wanna see iron maiden(main) but i also wanna see Killswitch, Trivium AS i lay dieng and other bands on the 2nd stage?

n00b question again Any place where i can see the times the bands are comming on, ive googled but no answers.

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

I actually haven't been to Ozzfest before, but I know friends who have and I've been to other huge concerts, like Locobazooka.

What I was told is that at Boston, the main stage plays in the actual arena (Tweeter Center), and the second stage plays in the back parking lot, which is by the lawn section.

I would like to find a set times list too, but for the show tomorrow the first ban comes on at 9AM. It sucks for me because I want to see Shadows Fall and Mudvayne, although I've already seen Mudvayne so I'm hanging out by the second stage.

Rob Zombie is one of the big artists on the To See Before I Die list, I grew up listening to Hellbelly Deluxe with my dad. ;)

Condoms

eurgh....f**king to ozzy? Weird.

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

Set Times (http://www.waaf.com/events/concerts.shtml)

That's for the Boston show but it should be pretty close to the other shows. Trivium and In Flames have 20 minute sets.. how lame is that?
