Guest Steviekick Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 This summer Danzig is putting together his own Ozzfest/Lollapolooza tour/festival called the Blackest of the Black. It's starting in May with limited west coast dates with Danzig, Superjoint Ritual, Immortal, and the Haunted, more to be named. These are the dates so far announced: FRIDAY MAY 2 - MESA AMPITHEATRE, PHOENIX, AZ SATURDAY MAY 3 - UNIVERSAL AMPITHEATRE, LOS ANGELES, CA After that, it's supposedly going to go on to be a full fledged national tour. All the bands so far are cool and I have gone to see, but I really don't know if it is going to be all that succesful. What are your thoughts on this and is anyone here interested in going?
Guest El Satanico Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 Watch the dumb ass black and white kids coming to it expecting a rap concert... PS: I'm referring to the dumbasses of those groups not calling those groups dumbasses.
Guest snuffbox Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 I can definitly see this one making it to the Rave in Milwaukee if it does go national. Id imagine tix wouldnt be too much more than 25 bones either. If it does end up there with decent tix prices I would definitly check that lineup out.
Guest Steviekick Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 There's also rumors going around that no one wants to loan Danzig the money to pull off such a big tour. Some form of reunion of his other bands Samhain or Misfits have been dropped...I can guaran-DAMN-tee you all that if it's headlined by a Misfits reunion or even a partial one that it is going to be insane~! Definitely worth checking out if that happens. Even if it doesn't the Haunted is amazing. Brutal Swedish death metal = greatness.
Guest redbaron51 Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 if Misfits aren't doing a reunion tour I'm not going to this
Guest Dace59 Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 The Haunted =/= Brutal Death The Haunted = Mellodic Death/Modern Thrash
Guest NoCalMike Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 Doubt this would touch the West Coast....if it did, I would CONSIDER IT....
Guest converge241 Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 nice he has wanted to do this for a while ever since doing the very 1st ozzfest (the one that was only like 3-4 days in the west)
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 ! Immortal, and the Haunted. I'm going. I could dig seeing danzig and superjoint, too. I didn't like Superjoint's album that much, but Phil's always good live.
Guest Steviekick Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 The Haunted =/= Brutal Death The Haunted = Mellodic Death/Modern Thrash There lat3est album is alot more brutal, so that's what i was going with. I still think their best album was the first one with Peter Dolving doin lead vocals...the man is insane. The other two are good, but Dolving is so freaking intense. Great stuff.
Guest whatitistoburn Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 This is what I've been told (I work at a radio station as a metal director, so I have an interest in this stuff): They're only doing 3 shows right now, if those go well they'll do a real tour in the fall. Last I heard, Danzig said there's no way in hell he's getting back in the misfits, and besides, there isn't even really a Misfits anymore. OH, and blabbermouth said that Immortal hadn't even agreed to do the shows yet.
Guest converge241 Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 they just added NILE and MESHUGGAH !!!
Guest Flyboy Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 Watch the dumb ass black and white kids coming to it expecting a rap concert... You're right. ... It got me in this thread. ...... Racist.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 they just added NILE and MESHUGGAH !!! Ok, now I'm definitely going. They announced any dates in the midwest yet?
Guest swan Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 It keeps getting better. Lacuna Coil has signed on as well. http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=1872
Guest Vitamin X Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 WHAT ABOUT SOUTH FLORIDA DAMMIT????
Guest swan Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 WHAT ABOUT SOUTH FLORIDA DAMMIT???? From what I have read it is still the two dates unless they do well. I have also read that Lacuna Coil is replacing MESHUGGAH but nothing to confirm that report. Do they an official site?
