    Got my weekend pass. Guess I am officially going. Now the question is.... don't peek at the setlist in July or not. Could I stay away from it for 3 months straight?

    Friday is definitely the day that shines through here. I would have skipped Sunday if I were going alone. But my girlfriend is coming with me and there are tons of bands she likes on Sunday (Ozzy, Halestorm, In this moment, New Years day... basically metal bands for girls, lol....). Ozzy is OK, I've seen him 3 times now, twice solo and once with Sabbath. He has yet to impress me with any of his shows. I saw him with Rob Zombie about 10 years ago, and Zombie went on first and absolutely CRUSHED Ozzy. Ozzy was scuffling around the stage in his sweatpants, mooning the crowd, reading from a teleprompter, and this was 10 years ago! How bad could he possibly be now? haha.

    I'll still check out Manson though. See how much of a train wreck he is this time. A Bad Manson show is always worth it for the lolz.

    Ticket Quantity Price
    Saturday VIP Ticket 2 $309.00
    Service Fees: $27.60

    I would have loved to have experienced the VIP show. Couldn't justify spending that kinda coin though. Especially on the weekend pass. If I were just going for Saturday, by myself, I probably would have splurged and went with VIP as well.

    Yep, you paid the same price as me for my 2 GA weekend passes as your single day VIP.... daaaamn....
    And I have to convert my funds to Canadian on top of that.

    2 weekend passes in Canadian dollars are $443.71

    Exactly my justification for going VIP, single & just the one day. If I do end up pulling the trigger on Sunday, it'll be GA. Actually, I don't really know Halestorm that well but I do have a shit ton of respect for Lzzy Hale, so I would check them out.

    Between all the bands listed on Sunday, Halestorm is probably the only one that really interests me enough. Manson and Ozzy, well, were legends, Wish I could say still are.
    Ozzy surprisingly has it a bit more together than Manson. It'll still be a fun time. I've seen Steel Panther before, and they are always a riot and a half.

    Good thing is, I have plenty of time to mull it over (although curiosity will end up killing me just for the whole "What are the odds Manson is completely fucked up" fun).

    Odds are in favor; if he hasn't hit the 'i need help stage' fuckedup-ness will happen.
    Saw MM at Observatory in CA Oct 2014.. (anyone know if he's hit bottom yet?)
    -he was pretty fucked up
    -sounded like shit
    -had oral bromancing moments throughout show, apparently he really missed JW
    -pathetically begged for after show pussy -the entire show- kept repeating his single status
    -almost fell off some high rise platform stairs
    -still using over-used mic props for different songs
    --was pretty lame; guess that sounds like hating. it sucks to watch anybody go down this path, one can only hope that they find their way back to be part of the living instead of ferociously banging on death's door--

    Jeordie came out to parking lot shortly after show with (I presume) his wife n R2D2 rolling luggage bag in hand-
    **i guess i missed the whole greatness of LIVE MM; saw em twice..1st as NIN openers and last at this show as burnout drugged up pathemo**

    Isn't Ozzy's whole thing this year the reunion w/ Zakk?

    You do believe to be correct.

    http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/ozz...for-2017-tour/

    So for that reason alone, maybe he won't completely suck. But I know i've seen them perform together before, at least if my memory serves me correct.
    I forget what show it was I saw in 2002 or 2003. One of them.
