Free Ozzy! No, he's not in jail... Ozzfest 2007 is going to be free, as in beer.

YES!!

(any word on lineup yet? Please tell me there'll be a Sabbath reunion!)

Hey, jon, if you don't know what Black Sabbath's up to, you may be intrigued.

posted by Wolfdog 08 February | 13:08

No idea about the lineup. (I bet it's too early for even them to know, don't you think?)

Check out the video of the announcement about it, though... heh!

A Sabb's reunion will be iffy as they're touring as Heaven And Hell at the moment with Dio on vocals. I guess it depends on how much they want the money...

I saw this news this morning and was amazed. I wonder how they'll make money?

Wolfdog, I like Dio on his own and with Rainbow, but as far as I'm concerned, Black Sabbath had only one singer and his name is Ozzy.

This is the ozzfest site's 'bands' page. It dosen't make clear who's playing where and when, but a bunch of those bands I'd be hyped to see.

From what I understand, through heavy-duty sponsorship deals. The sponsors themselves may be the ones actually distributing the tickets, so you'll have to go to, say, coke.com and fill out a questionairre to get a ticket.

It'll be interesting to see if this new model flies.

Somebody please post here if they hear any details of ticket-gettin.

Free Ozzy!
...with every purchase of $10 or more!

Wow, I've actually heard of all but three of those bands, and all would be worth seeing*.

* If you are a diehard metalhead.
