Ozzfest 2010 vs Mayhem 2010

laurjohn2

for people that went to both, compare them.

without making the weather a factor (beyond the control of the festivals)
what made Mayhem better:
1. 2 side stages with no breaks between bands
2. more festival type stuff to do
3. cheaper seats (for me anyways)
4. more bands to see
5. free programs / magazines
6. more signings
7. seeing Rob Zombie for the first time (missed him on ozzfest years ago)

What made Ozzfest better:
1. two metal legends, Ozzy and Halford
2. smaller crowd (more room to move around and short lines)
3. Tommy Lee having girls flash on command
4. Having Ozzy, Crue, Halford and Kingdom of Sorrow all give incredible performances
5. ending up in the center of a pit and not getting killed

I enjoyed Ozzfest better as far as bands and crowds. Was able to go straight to the rail for both stages.
Mayhemfest made me feel like I hadn't done anything but stand in line all day. Crowd was bigger but full of scenster kids.
I give Ozzfest a slight edge this year.

I enjoyed Mayhem more, but only slightly more. I had a pit ticket for Mayhem and I had a giant group of friends I went with. It was hot, got sunburn, finally saw Chimaira and Korn, got Fieldy's pick. Overall, a great ass day.

Ozzfest--I very much enjoyed. It was my first time being at a rainy concert, and even though BLS was cancelled and I was freezing from being soaked while wearing a tank top, I had a blast. With only one friend there during the second stage bands, I was able to go crazy, dancing during Drowning Pool. Finally saw Goatwhore. Ozzy and the Crue were pristine.

cant judge fairly due to weather but i still think i wouldve liked mayhem better, it just gives me a better vibe idk... plus even though mayhem is filled with little scenster kids ozzfest is filled with old toothless fighting douschbags

I didn't go to both so its hard for me to compare but just looking at the lineups then I like Mayhem better.

The only main stage acts on Ozzfest that I would have cared to see is Motley Crue and Halford but after reading all the bad things said about Halford then I'm not to sure about that anymore. Like many others I don't know a lot of Rob Halford's solo stuff and I would have been disappointed with him not playing any Priest.

I enjoyed all of the main stage acts on Mayhem and the Jager stage was kick ass with Shadows Fall,Chimaira and Hatebreed.

Plus not to mention that some of the Ozzfest fans have been fucked over by bands not playing and paying high prices for parking at some shows. This show seems like it was thrown together and poorly run.

It seems that more often than not, things went wrong at Ozzfest, so I agree with Primal on that it was probably hastily thrown together in an attempt to save their asses after they promised a huge return for Ozzfest this year.

That being said, I like Ozzfest's lineup better, and would have gone just for Ozzy, Halford, Skeletonwitch, and Kataklysm...

Ozzfest is the winner by far in my opinion. It helps we didn't have any bands cancel on us.

I had a better time at Ozzest than I would have at Mayhem.

Well we'll never know that for sure. Idk which I'd have more fun at. From what I heard it sounds like ozzfest was kind of thrown together although it would be cool to see Ozzy since it seems like he actually did well which surprises me. As long as he doesn't have nasally vox then I'd have fun watching him.

i had a blast at both, i hope they continue to do both festivals.

If Ozzfest would have been better produced and hit more cities, I would have gone. Would have gone to Mayhem as well but not enough money and there was some complications
