just got home from ozzfest mansfield, fucking sucked...downpoured the whole time no bls no drowning pool. we left cuz we were freezing....on the plus side skeletonwitch and goatwhore were awesome and i finally got my goatwhore shirt ...
Wow, that sucks. I actually was supposed to goto that Ozzfest today. In fact, I got about 20 min away from the venue on a 2 hour drive and it was pouring out. Then I realized I forgot my hoodie I was going to bring in case it was raining. So I said "Fuck This." and turned around and went home.
It sucks that happened to you but it kinda makes me feel better about me deciding not to go.
u made the right decision dude the day was a disaster lol i dont blame anyone cuz it was the weather but it still sucked pretty bad......

Ozzfest sounds like a disaster this year
It really wasn't, in my opinion. Sure, I didn't have to deal with random cancellations due to sickness (Goatwhore) or freak weather situations, but I think it was a success. I had more fun than I did at Mayhem 08, yet not as much as Mayhem 09, although that was more of excitement over seeing a bunch of bands for the first time.
Damn sounds like this year's Ozzfest was one very well produced tour.../sarcasm
It went without a hitch at my show...
No problems in Chicago either. Weather was actually great for a change. Usually hotter than 500 pound ass in August and we were in the low 80's, partly cloudy and cool northerly breezes.
except for drowning pool and bls being cancelled, weather did not take away from the enjoyment of my show. sure i was cold and wet, but its a metal show!

well me like an idiot wore a cut off shirt and shorts and wouldve froze to death if i stayed for mainstage. it was hard for me to drive home without seeing the ozzman....
i was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, after taking off my sweatshirt at the main stage. i was very cold. Standing up and having a good time took my mind off it
What a shitty, rainy day weather-wise. I had a ton of fun for the bands that played, although I left after Nonpoint due to how bad the rain was. There was no way I could stay in my open air seat for 5 more hours after Nonpoint's set. I was soaked beyond belief, felt like I weighed double my weight.
Anyways, on to the show. We got there a little after 12:00, as the doors were opening. The line was small and we got in fast. The side stage area had a very small crowd at it, and as the time approached 12:45 and there was no band playing, I realized that Kataklysm dropped. Shit. However, 1:15 came and Goatwhore immediately took the stage. They got the crowd moving and played a great set. First time seeing them and they sounded awesome. Set might be a bit out of order. 8/10.

Saviours was up next. I personally thought that they kicked ass. They were awesome live, and it was fun to burn one to their music. The singer/guitarist looked drunk out of his mind but they still played perfectly. The set is incomplete and out of order, but this is what I could come up with. 9/10.

Skeletonwitch took the stage after Saviours and they were pretty sick. The crowd was into it, and they flew through a quick, yet punishing, set. 8/10.

Kingdom of Sorrow was after Skeletonwitch and all I can say is WOW. Fantastic set, they got the crowd going crazy, and Jamey Jasta once again proved how great of a frontman he truly is. Excellent set, turned out to be my favorite of the day. 9.5/10

After Kingdom of Sorrow, everyone was standing around for an hour, wondering when Drowning Pool would play...when they announced they were closing the side stage and that we all had to move to the main stage. I thought it was bullshit, the rain wasn't unbearable at that point but for "safety reasons" they closed the stage. No Drowning Pool or BLS.
During the hour wait until Nonpoint was supposed to take the stage, the rain started coming down extremely hard. I was drenched and pissed sitting in my open air seat, and Nonpoint's set dragged on and on. I was actually kind of looking forward to seeing them, but the rain made their set miserable. I did think that getting members of Drowning Pool on stage to play Bodies was pretty cool. 5/10.

After Nonpoint it was a group decision to call it a day. We all really wanted to see Ozzy but decided that it wasn't worth sitting in the pouring rain for 5 more hours. So we left right after Nonpoint finished, along with several other people in the same boat as us.
All in all, the day was definitely worth 10 bucks. Although it sucked that bands dropped and that I left early, I enjoyed myself thoroughly until I was so wet that I couldn't stand it anymore. If there's an Ozzfest 2011, I'll definitely be going. Let's hope for better weather next year though.
