Battle for Ozzfest

Has anyone seen this ass crack of a reality show? I was flipping through my TV guide one night and decided to watch it when it came on. At first I thought, hey this is great… Ozzy is going to give some unsigned band a shot into being heard. My opinion of this show changed very quickly…

First off, I would like to say that I am a huge fan of Ozzy, going back to being a kid. I had the chance a few years ago to catch Black Sabbath in concert and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. I also watched the Osbournes a few times and thought it was a funny show, but I was not interested enough to watch it on a regular basis.

Now with all that being said, the Battle for Ozzfest show is 100% pure garbage. Ozzy, you cannot think for one minute that any band on this show is good.  They played a short clip of each band and their music and it was total garbage.  In fact, it was like a never ending horrible song… boring overused guitar riffs and that growling screaming crap.  Talent was something that was highly lacking in this show.  Who picked these bands, one of your kids?  Hey, If anyone in your family knows about not having talent, its one of them.  In any case, all they found was a group of tattooed white trash rebels that are only good for what they will do to get into Ozzfest.

While they were going through each of these ass clowns, my favorite one is the “Mild mannered lawyer by day, heavy metal superhero by night.” Uh… yeah… wait, theres more… “When the sun goes down, the suit and tie comes off and the spiked hair and cat's eye contact lenses appear.” … That was as quoted from the MTV website.  I always wondered what the exact formula was for becoming a heavy metal superhero.  One part spiked hair, two parts cat’s eye contacts, and a big can of idiot… 

Attention people on Battle for Ozzfest… enjoy your short time in the spotlight and do not quit your day job. Yet, I guess if Ruben Studdard can have a career in music just because he was on TV, you have a good chance also.  Personally, I think they could have given the people from Jackass a bunch of instruments and it would have made for an overall better show.  The Jackass guys will definitely stoop to more lows than any of those morons on Battle for Ozzfest and they could probably produce about the same quality of music.
 

Your turn.

Posted by Jeffnf54321:
Ok, first I've never heard "cynder" but ADF rules. Being able to scream and sing that well is really just about a one in a million thing. I don't care what anyone says if someone's got that kind of skill they should use it. It's fast as hell, and very dynamic. BTW WTF are talking about with repedative riffs?? Those are far from repedative, if anything those guys were all over the place...


Posted by Jesse McCartney:
mmm I wanna RAPE Michael Jackson's plastic assss GRR!


Posted by Jessica :
I personally think Cynder should have won. ADF sounds a little too much like Atreyu, I mean don't get me wrong Atreyu is one of my favorite bands.. but Cynder has their own unique sound.. and over all just better. But no-worrys, Just for Cynder being on the show.. their bound to get recognized. And they already have like 2 albums out. Oh and by the way, Cynder changed their group name to Curse Your Name or (CYN) for all those people who want to keep track on them. TOODLES!


Posted by blondie:
cynder shoulda taken it home dude that was a bunch of b/c marc is great and everything but ryan kicks so much ass man!


Posted by Chuey:
It's A DOZEN FURRIES-these guys should have lost man Cynder should have taken it home, they were harder and more heavier. Only because ADF had their on stage dance moves with their guitars, nobody dug them in teh crowd,


Posted by Mike Feranda:
Someone claiming they were on "Battle For Ozzfest" made a comment on my article. I hope thats fake, otherwise... thats damn funny.


Posted by pope:
Cynder and A Thousand Furies were both awesome bands i wouldnt mind having both of their cds. and who ever wrote that about the battle for ozzfest being a sucky show is a dumbass or just isnt up to date on music.


Posted by jeff:
i think the show was great and marc was awesome and the show inspired me to play more and i like that "screaming crap" music it is metal today.


Posted by dirty :
I'm happy for Marc but Cynder is pretty cool 2!! But i dont care about them i wanna play on ozzfest!! Ahmad is sexy weeee


Posted by natalie:
CYNDER ROCKS! a dozen furies can go back 2 the no talent home and sing there WHILE CYNDER MAKE A CRAPLOAD OF MONEY! i mean they already have like 3 c.d's out n e ways! screw marc! ryan is the shyte! oh-- HEY JENNA!!


Posted by jewell :
cynder was really good but i am so glad a dozen furies won but i wish both of them could of won!!


Posted by CYNDRFREAK:
i agree with jenna- cynder rocks! and to all of you guys that think this show is gay- screw you! and grow some balls because you have absolutely no talent


Posted by Jenna:
CYNDER SHOULD HAVE WON! THEY WERE SO MUCH BETTER THEN A DOZEN FURIES! they are one of the most talented band i have ever heard! they should have won! and ryan is sooo hott!


Posted by jewell:
YES!!! A DOZEN FURIES WON I AM SO HAPPY!!!


Posted by The Ruler:
A dozen Furies is good, but as far as the vocals for that band. they sound kinda of punk. Cynder has catchier vocals and he is more versitile. Cynder deserves to win.


Posted by GOD:
I think you suck... you have no right to say that crap about those hard working bands...Cynder is the most talented band i have heard in a very long time! LETS GO CYNDER!!


Posted by This Guy:
Your an ignorant idiot! And you have no music sence. I'm not defending all the bands on Battle for Ozzfest, a few were just Nu-metal clones, but a couple (a Dosen Furies) are actuially realy good, and I wouldn't mine seeing them at Ozzfest '05. So, now that I'm done saying what I intended to say,... IM GREAT & YOU SUCK


Posted by cynder lover (lesa):
first of all you have no right to say anythingn bad about any of the bands on battle for ozzfest there are some good bands on that show and when that band wins you know it will grow on you and the band that will be winning is cynder and you are just bitter because you have no musical talent at all you suck who ever wrote this e mail!!!


Posted by JC:
What a dumbass, you supposedly know about music but have you not ever heard of CKY (associated with jackass). What a dumbass comparison.


Posted by Emma:
ADAIR IS A SEXY BEAST!


Posted by eternalhellride:
Rick is a f**cking idiot. Yes, maybe Ozzy introduced Zakk to the world but the fact of the matter is that someone with as much talent as Zakk Wylde, was going to make it one way or another. Get your head out of your a$$!


Posted by Aguares:
I think...you bitches should raise up off of Adair's nuts...seriously.


Posted by sup ya'll:
i want adair to win but marc totally deserves it


Posted by jesusfreakazoid:
i agree with chel and wurd on adair being TOTALLY hot and the Only reason i started watching. I LOVE THE SHOW!!


Posted by jewell:
ok your alittle weird!


Posted by Jazzy McJAzz:
Battle for ozzfest is alrigh but then again i'm not 43 and living my live one ozzy wet dream at a time


Posted by JESS:
Marc and Adair are very talented and should win. Chelsea is good considering she hasn't played bass that long. Ahmad he's good, but doesn't have much respect and shouldn't win until he learns how to respect and be glad he is there. You know all of the people whom have hated on the people on the show, f*** off, atleast the people on the show made it and are doing something with there dreams. Look at you, all you can do is hate, and be mad because you aren't in their shoes. Grow up. The show is great and I hope it continues. I will see you all at Ozzfest 2005.


Posted by dirty088:
I like the show i hope ahmad wins the battle he's so hot and sexy and cute and so on!!!


Posted by jewell:
sanchizzle your right i love this show. and marc or adair are the best people on there and ahmad is cool but annoying sometimes. ryan is also good.


Posted by localgrl:
I agree most of the show was complete bull ... but you have to admit some of the bands were good..like that Jesse kid he has some real f-ing talent...and some nice biceps


Posted by someone on BFO:
I'm enjoying the spotlight. I'll continue to do so next year... and most likely the year after that. A TV show doesnt make a band suck. :P Why do you continue to write? The guys from Jackass could write better and produce the same interesting statements. Ruben has no career... and Clay Aiken must be scraping by, prolly has to pick up a part time job jsut to pay the bills. pff


Posted by sanchizzle:
ur gay dude.this is a tight show with tight bands.i think marc or adair should win.ahmad is cool


Posted by jewell :
ok im not going to trash on anyone who dosnt like the show but if you dont like it why are you on this site i mean come on.


Posted by jewell:
i think that a marc is so hot and i think that he should win but not just b/c hes hot but b/c he can really play. i love this show!!


Posted by My name:
Some of the bands are good. Don't judge by mtv's little video clips. Check some of them out. For example, download a few of the songs here: www.cyndermusic.com


Posted by Mike Feranda:
Yeah, I always love the "you're just jealous" arguement.


Posted by Commando:
from "ozzyshowrules" post: "ur a lamer get a life ,thatshow rules ur just jealous ur not on it". Idiot.


Posted by Mustard29:
All these bands sound the same old Metalcore crap. It's being and been done by a few thousand other metalcore bands. Why can't there be any thrash?


Posted by ozzyshowrules:
ur a lamer get a life,that show rules ur just jealous ur not on it


Posted by Crazy:
they are douchbags


Posted by wurd:
Adair is so sexy.


Posted by Chel:
I think Adair is so hot,that is the only reason I watch it. HOLLA!!!


Posted by Mooose:
I agree 100%. These people are talentless dildos.


Posted by Kurtz:
Hey, it my not be the most inspired or imaginative reality TV show out there, but it beats the festering pile of crap that is The Swan, The Apprentice, The Rebel Billionaire, The Real Gilligan's Island, and other number of sh*ty reality TV. However, I do agree reality TV is the downfall of America.


Posted by Ace:
Yup, a f*cking test. Jesus. Sweet, a Winnabego!


Posted by Buffybuff:
Well, Ace, you were right. That police interrogation was a test set up by Ozzy and Sharon. You have just won a brand new Winnabego!
