Boston badboys Reveille will stay on throughout the duration of the tour. Pumpjack, who were to replace Reveille this week, will now play four shows--Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, and San Bernardino, Calif. Now in the middle of a five day mid-tour break, The Ozzfest resumes full-steam ahead Friday in Chicago. 'RUDY EATS THE DOODIE' If you haven't witnessed the pure genius of the cyber-cinema classic 'Rudy Eats the Doodie', well, what are you waiting for? A heaping helping of your own?! This tasty morsel of backstage debauchery has been alternately titillating those brave enough to endure it and inducing reverse parastalsis in others since its debut last week. The verdict is in: Rudy is a fecal freak! Check him out here and now before... http://news.ozzy.com/cgi-bin/gx.cgi/mcp?p=63GUt03GUy3qW401200mF0LVF0PA BOSTON STRANGLED BY OZZFEST Two sold-out shows. 60,000 fans. Twenty-six total hours of madness. (No Rudy and no doodie, thankfully.) Does it get any better? Bolstered by strong Rock radio presence and a fervent, loyal community of rivetheads, Boston showed its metal muscle last Saturday and Sunday with two standing-room-only shows at the Tweeter Center. Slaves on Dope signed autographs at the Divine Recordings tent for TWO HOURS non-stop. Soulfly received overwhelming response to tree-climbing, mosh-mad hessians at the Second Stage as Max and Co. debuted new material from their forthcoming record, 'Primitive'. Godsmack and Reveille played to a roaring hometown contingent of friends and family which certainly reminded both acts that their days slugging it out at clubs like the Rat and Middle East has paid off. The Ozzfest 2000 at the Tweeter Center resembled nothing short of Thunderdome--Ozzy as Mad Max and Philip Anselmo taking the role of Toecutter! Saturday and Sunday was all-in-all a vulgar display of the power and the fury of the preeminent daycamp of the summer. Screw the Republican National Convention; we got our own party goin' on! Tomorrow, leg two begins... DIABOLUS IN DISCO! Chat with the Evil Disco marauders Static-X next Thursday, August 10th at 3pm Pacific Standard Time. Pose all your questions about life as a road warrior, their much-anticipated second album, Tony Campos's love of death metal, and the return of Hair Metal! Whatever else you have cooked up, be sure to be here next Thursday with you hair combed and shirt tucked in, dammit! http://news.ozzy.com/cgi-bin/gx.cgi/mcp?p=63GUu03GUy3qW401200mF0LVF0PA DON'T CALL THEM QUEENS BUT CHAT YOURSELF CRAZY WITH THE NEW ACES OF ROCK! Currently on the face of Britain's esteemed NME and Kerrang! magazines and picked by Entertainment Weekly as one of the Top Ten records of the year, the very manly Queens of the Stone Age are fast on their way to mega-stardom. Their adventurous and ingenious new album 'Rated R' is one of the year's must-have records, and you can plug your questions into their psychotropic amplifiers Wednesday, August 16. Why is Nick's nickname 'Rex Everything', what is the meaning behind the song 'Feel Good Hit of the Summer', and is Josh Homme really human or from another planet? Those are just a few of the questions you can ask the very virile Queens of the Stone Age August 16. Mark your calendars! ..OZZFEST TV GETS BANNED IF AL GORE WINS? That's the question making the rounds here at Ozzfest.com. 'Ol Tipper and her Washington Wives got a taste of Rudy eating the Doodie last week and it scared us shitless! Unfortunately, our 'Rudy Does the Donkey' episode will now NOT be airing. But, this week you can purr with the lasses of Kittie on their tour bus and find out exactly what they mean by their obscure song 'Get Off (You Can Eat a Dick)', among other topics discoursed. Also, T-Bone and TiLo of Methods of Mayhem carouse with T.C. over some non-alcoholic elixirs and discuss Tommy's love of Ozzy & Sharon, the rowdy past-life he led, and how good it feels to be clean and rawkin', yo, on The Ozzfest. All this week on Tipper's new target, Ozzfest TV! New episodes every Thursday! http://news.ozzy.com/cgi-bin/gx.cgi/mcp?p=63GV003GUy3qW401200mF0LVF0PA DOWNLOADS, DOWNLOADS, DOWNLOADS!
