HELLYEAH's Vinnie Paul Tries To Figure Out Free OZZFest
February 7, 2007, 17 years ago
Launch Radio Networks has issued the following report from Don Kaye:
As the news spreads about OZZFest 2007 being free, fans, musicians, and industry insiders are trying to figure out just how OZZY and Sharon OSBOURNE are going to make the numbers work.
Former PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN drummer Vinnie Paul told us he's not exactly sure how they've done it either:
"Somebody's come up with some genius way to make some money, because if you went to McDonald's and got a free hamburger every day, how much longer is McDonald's gonna stay in business? It doesn't work out economically, you know. So for them to be able to do this, somebody has really thought it through really well and just found a way to make it the most exciting and biggest tour in the world. So I can tell you this: every show on the OZZFest tour this summer will be sold out!"HELLYEAH, the new band that Paul has started with members of MUDVAYNE and NOTHINGFACE, has been mentioned as a possible OZZFest act.
Hellyeah's self-titled debut album arrives on April 10th. The band also features Mudvayne singer Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett, along with Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell and bassist Jerry Montano.
