Ozzfest 2007
Ozzfest 2007 at Alpine Valley, WI was an all day party. I’m still burnt to shit from not wearing sunscreen and i swear i’m still a little dehydrated. But with all that aside, i had a great time and the music kicked my ass.
Some things that grabed my attention was how much Hatebreed kicked my ass! They rocked so hard and i’m not even into the hardcore metal scene. They reminded me of how Pantera rocked ten years ago … RIP. Another thing was that most of the music played was hardcore/black metal. I remember old Ozzfests being centered around more rock’n Metal like Ozzy, Manson, Zombie, and just more rocking metal. I’m not knocking these kinds, but its just not my thing. I’ve been known to play some Dan Swano, Amorphis, Tristainia and other darker metal but when the melody is replaced with repetitious gutteral guitar and dumb double kick drumming, i’m out.
A little thing that hurt was that people were knocking Lordi right behind me. To be honest, Lordi was the only reason i went to Ozzfest. They kick ass and no one really knows them over in the US. I have to admit that they didn’t sound the best live but they where million times better than Lamb of God, which i think stinks (enough said). Also they kept saying Michigan instead of Wisconson and they referred to Alpine Valley as Milwaukee instead of East Troy. This is not horrible since there is a Troy Michigan and the concert was really close to Milwaukee but it just made the Asswholes behind me laugh more and think Lordi sucks. Well, they can suck it.
Overall the concert was awesome with toppless girls, rockin bands, and a chillin party crowd that only got out of control at a safe distance from me.
I’m out!
