OZZFEST 2008 Review
OZZFEST 2008 has been held last week on 9 August, And this time to review this concert. the OZZFEST 2008 doing by Todd Maternowski. and you can read below for the review:
"While [Jonathan] Davis [of KORN] may have been the weakest act at Ozzfest, easily the most disappointing was the next one, Dallas' own HELLYEAH. Formed by former PANTERA drummer and rock god Vinnie Paul, and composed of half of MUDVAYNE, the band should have been one of the highlights of the day. Unfortunately, the charismatic Paul was hidden behind his massive double-bass drums for the entire set, leaving lead singer Chad Gray to carry the show. Like pretty much every rock supergroup in history (for quick reference, check out SUPERNOVA or VELVET REVOLVER), however, the sum never seems to be the whole of its parts, and the band churned out a sloppy set of same-sounding songs. The biggest crowd reactions during their set were to the breast-baring females on the big screens, rather than anything the band was doing onstage.
"Making it worse — at least for this particular die-hard fan of PANTERA — was the uninspired tributes to Dimebag Darrell. Shot on stage during a concert in 2004, Darrell has become a martyr for metal, as the universally loved and unbelievably talented guitarist was taken way before his time. His tributes, however, were disappointing. Other than a standout performance by the CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, as well as some great footage of Dimebag scrolled over the big screens, the attempt was not a good one. An acoustic performance of PINK FLOYD's 'Wish You Were Here' that sounded slightly out-of-tune was the topper."
