I thought it was "I got better."

*blank stares*

"I got better..."

------------------
The future is here, and all bets are off.

No, it's the scene later in the movie, at the wedding, when Lancelot kills all the guests and the bride's father is lying wounded on the floor.

Anyway, who else is going to Ozzfest?

No System of a Down? AGAIN!? Lazy bas*****

past years have been a bunch of talentless bands anyways, so with SoaD it wouldn't be any better or worse.

I hate to keep this thread off topic, but...



Wrong, it's

"She turned me into a newt!"
"A newt?"
"... Well, I got better."



Actually, it's a running gag in the movie. It happens 3 times (the old man, Sir Lancalot's servant, and the bride's father).

I caught SoaD the last time they did Ozzfest, it was amazing.

"Honey, you got real ugly."

I will be lacking the funds to go. It's the most exepnsive of all the summer tours.

Metal terrifies me.

Um, yeah. I'm sure Ozzy's a nice guy, though.

Shut up. I'm GOING to do this whether you like it or not.

Bah, if it wasn't for this stupid disease, I'd have been there.

Farewell, MaDaVentor. In our hearts, you'll always live on.

Ok I have no idea about the situation over in the US, but here in Australia a rock festival ticket will set you back $100, and you're likely to see at least 3 bands (hopefully a lot more) you enjoy. A ticket to a single band's gig costs anywhere from $50-80, so $100 to see 3+ is really good value.

That still costs $100. Maybe not to you, but $100 is a lot to lay down.

Heh, I'm a poor student with car payments, Wofly. Once or twice a year, though, I can justify $100 for a memorable day out

Especially since the most of the bands I like are from Britain, so them touring down here might only happen once or twice during their careers.

Ozzfest is a poor mans festival, Leeds 2004 is gonna kick its *** .... four days and four nights of pwning, and last year we got some pretty big bands, including SOAD and Metallica.

i'm already saving :P.

------------------
Drugs & Stupidity, Tons of it.

Here's the lineup for Ozzfest 2004!

Ozzy (I'm assuming only if he's still alive)
Judas Priest
Slayer
Dimmu Borgir
Superjoint Ritual
Black Label Society
Slipnot
Hatebreed
Lamb of God
Atreyu
Bleeding Through
Lacuna Coil
Every Time I Die
Unearth
God Forbid

AND, the tour starts in my area! July 10 - Hartford (3 hour drive), July 12 - Boston (1 1/2 hour drive). <<Me skips in fashion unbefitting someone going to Ozzfest>>.

Ozzfest isn't expensive, I only dropped 30 dollars when I went...

------------------
"Honey, you got real ugly."

Yeah, and spent 90.

------------------

Spent 90..what?

------------------
"Honey, you got real ugly."

Maybe it's because, I dunno, they're recording a cd?

TI-MAH!

I don't think it's a big deal to drop a couple hundred bucks for Ozzfest (when you total up all the expenses). It's like getting a bunch of concerts for the price of a slightly expensive one. I don't think of $90 as being an exorbitant price for a concert ticket. I think I wound up paying like $80-$90 to go see Linkin Park, and that's only like one well-known band.

It is when you can get into the local radio station festival that has just as many bands for $30.

------------------
I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

Peh, I've only heard of 5 of those bands (and they aren't neccesarily good). Someone let me know when they get better bands an I might go.

You guys get all the best concerts
Some of the lineups from recent Reading Festivals almost make me wish I was British.

Wasn't that when one of the SoaD or Metallica members fell or got injured or something, because the stage like exploded or something.

And some of the lineups make me wish that any money.

GhostOfYoda - General doer of stuff.

Yes it's a big deal to spend more than 10$ on a crap concert.

For 25$ i could've gone and see 4 major bands in Montreal, Hypocrisy, Children Of Bodom, Nevermore and Dimmu Borgir. Twice.

Your ozzfest is full of rubbish bands, (except Dimmu Borgir, Slayer and BLS) like the ever-persisting popularity concert it ever was.

Only worthwhile set would be slayer's , but after seeing them once live, I don't feel like paying double the price I once paid to see them again, but with more people around
(Paid 45$ to see In Flames, Soulfly(yuck) and Slayer). Also, I fail to see how entertaining Linkin Park could ever be on stage, there's hardly anything energetic about them.

i dont go to festivals for the bands, the music makes up about 20% of festival fun, individual gigs lose a lot.

------------------

Not bad, but not great... Radiohead, Ash, Phantom Planet, Kraftwerk and Paul Van Dyk would put on a good show too. Yeah I'd go

Bleh. All the people i like are dead/old. Liking classic rock/blues doesnt give me many concerts to see;p

*drinks Spork's blood*
Not great???
The Flaming Lips, Wilco, The Pixies, Atmosphere, and The Cure NOT GREAT????
And I mentioned Radiohead, foo!

A lot of coachella's bands are ones that I've been meaning to listen to, I admit. There are a few I haven't heard of though, that I'm interested in.


From what I hear, BB King is still doing awesome concerts.
