(antiMusic) After Sharon ran Ozzfest into the ground by taking booking advice from Jack (and maybe Carson Daly) and then last year's poorly executed Freefest scheme, the Ozz needs to call in the big guns to make the fest viable again. When you think of Ozzfest main stage and "big name in metal," there should only be one band that comes to mind: Adema! Unfortunately, they already booked a taxidermy convention gig at the Tupelo Holiday Inn, so Ozzy is reportedly trying to talk Metallica into doing the show. Blabbermouth heard it from sources, which are usually spot on.(Except in the rare cases when they're not.)
