OFF: ozzfest and motorhead

[Eddie Williamson]

motorhead are headlining the second stage every night and are doing so because
the original act, rob halford's two, didn't come through.  they were supposed
to headline the second stage area and for no real reason pulled out.  it was a
last minute thing, having motorhead called in.  motorhead knew what they were
getting into when they accepted, so any qualms or beefs about the "unfair
billing" were FULLY WELL KNOWN to all parties involved.  also, it's no secret
that billing on festival tours like this is heirarchical by record sales, the
motorhead anathema.  sorry old farts (not nec. this list, just whining old-
timers in gen.), the kids like limp bizkit and tool, deal with it.  motorhead
needs this exposure and this is the biggest tour they've done in ages.
ozzfest is kicking ass all over the fruited plain, and getting motorhead in
front of the youth-oriented ozzfest is the best thing for lemmy.
