WORST BANDS:1.Wicked Wisdom- worse performance than their name.2.The black dahlia murder- {censored}ty3.A dozen furies- Played 20 min longer the In Flames..and they suck Biggest Let down-1. Shadows Fall- Boring2. Black label society- Quit {censored}ing soloing for christ's sake!! And Im a guitar player!!3.Mudvayne- One of my fav. alt-metal bands...but they played {censored}ty.

Members Jester0583 Posted September 8, 2005 Members Share Posted September 8, 2005 Too bad Maiden wasn't on the bill. They were probably the best act in the entire lineup when I saw Ozzfest in Mansfield, MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kenny Powers Posted September 8, 2005 Members Share Posted September 8, 2005 mudvayne by far had the best tone, hands down, no one touched them. looking at megadeths list I pretty much agree. though I was special and got to see slipknot at the show, and they reall worked the crowd up, thats when the bonfires really started going. in flames really needed a longer set, but that said I hated seeing mudvayne and inflames on a huge stage, you can just tell they really like the energy they get from crowd and feed off of it. sadly you cant do that when the "pit" is all seats, and the people who want to get crazy have to stay 100 yards away. more respect to trivium, mastadon, and as i lay dying rob zombie also had a great set. maiden was great, but sadly my show was when all that drama went down, so part of it was spoiled by that dirty stinky twat.

Im am the biggest fan of gregg's tone! I love VHT tone, his clean is also awesome on the new disc...However at my particular show it sucked. i have seen them b4 at HOB and it was incredible, but at ozzfest their performance and their tone was lacking, Might not have been their fault though because the sound guy really had the levels {censored}ed up, especially the vocal levels.

IMHO his best tone was the VHT+jc-120, picture perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members model4 Posted September 10, 2005 Members Share Posted September 10, 2005 west palm beach concert BEST ALL AROUND: 1. Black Sabbath - agree with you 100 % 2. Rob Zombie- john 5 WOW, first time i see them. 3. BLS: even though Zakk soloed forever, he was the most talented guitarist at the venue.. no doubt about it BEST TONE: 1.Tony Iommi- needs no explanation 2.Zakk: his marshalls rock 3.Killswitch Engage- new to me, but great tone WORST BANDS: 1.The black dahlia murder- {censored}ty 2.Wicked Wisdom- i think Velvet revolver sucked,. i have been a GNR fan for years and VR sounds great on record but.......at this specific concert they sucked. slash's guitar was unbalanced, his rhythms were low and solos too loud. the soundman killed his sound. After listening to Zakk and Iommi, slash's guitar was way behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO his best tone was the VHT+jc-120, picture perfect. Gregs a cool mofo. I was his tech from 02-03. (Also POA and tatoo the earth) . The rig was -rectos/jc120 - VHT /jc120 - - - VHT/Fender 2x12 combo for clean(cant remember the model) - - VHT/Pod(clean) - VHT/Digitech "pod" dont remember the model, but it was blue... - Then the last time i saw him he had 2 Randall modular heads, not sure what he had for cleans this time. He did say he was thinking of using the Ultra leads again . Pedals were Line 6 DL4 and a Morley wah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
