Trivium On Ozzfest: “We Don’t Want To Play Your Shi**y Festival”
/ News / 16/09/2009 11:35am
Paolo Gregoletto goes on the warpath about Ozzy’s returning festival.
Speaking to Metal Injection, the Trivium bassist says: “Maybe (Ozzfest will) come back next year, but I don’t know how it’s going to compete with (Mayhem) festival. I think this festival is going to kill it.”
“We had to formally apologize or something, it’s like fuck you! How about this, how about I formally say fuck you to Ozzfest. Formal! We don’t want to play your shitty festival!”
Trivium have begun writing on a new record and will return to the UK for a full tour in 2010.
Ozzfest is expected to return in 2010.







Trivium should be shot anyway
you should have been put down at birth but you’re still alive….
i think im with trivium on this one, especially after the whole iron maiden thing a few years ago
Anyone that calls themselves a Trivium fan cannot call themselves a fan of metal. Doesn’t matter if you listen to good bands aswell, you’re a disgrace to the world if you like Trivium
Fuck off Sean.
Like you know anything about Metal.
Paolo is right. They’ve been kicked of the tour for supporting maiden after that greedy little ozbourne bitch sabotaged Maiden’s performance.
Fuck sharon, the stupid reality whore and fuck Ozzfest!
yeah fuck anything which sharon osbourne is involved with,yeah she may have saved ozzys career years ago but over the last ten years she has turned him into a money making clown!! as for the maiden incident,they rose above her pathetic attempts to sabotage them and really showed her up for the bitch she is!!
Trivium can suck my balls!!!! It’s a fuckin’ disgrace to even call em a metal band!
Hahaha, does any band split opinion as much as Trivium? Mebee Metallica.
Sorry, but to say trivum dont play metal is a wee bit daft dude. What else could you consider ‘em to be? Improvised Belgium Jazz?
Kudos to them sticking to their guns though. The way it was reported that Maiden were treated onstage was an insult to the fans as much as the band.
I don’t like their music either, as a matter a fact, I went out to smoke some weed when they were opening for Slayer, however, that doesn’t mean he can’t make a valid point.
Trivium haters can suck my balls.
Trivium are sick,.
im with everyone who likes trivium… they are sick (to use antallica’s words)
what a load of bollocks and missquotation
the last paragraph was from an interview years ago when paolo was reffering to them being forced to apologise for supporting iron maiden after they got pelted with eggs otherwise they wouldnt be alowed to play again and trivium stood their ground
nice on hammer i expect kerrang to be the retards and twist shit not you.
Anyone who says ANY band is ’sick’ is obviously a twat
metalcore =/= metal
they did play metal on their third album, but that sucked
Shogun was pretty cool though
That said, neither Ozzfest nor Mayhem are anything worth writing home about. If anything Mayhem has much worse bands (Whitechapel, JFAC)
Fuck off Sean, you don’t choose who listens to metal and who doesn’t.
Trivium are one of the best metal bands of all time along with Machine Head, Metallica, Iron Maiden and Megadeth. Fuck the haters.
i personally hate trivium but sure you can like their music if you want to but i’m being totally fair when i say if you don’t aknowledge the fact the band members are cunts and this is one of many out of order things they do you’ve got problems! & this is sadly why a lot of trivium fans suck balls! they have no respect for anything metal or not metal and they don’t know the rules of moshing. i know we are all under the one flag of metal but i refuse to let someone like this (member or fan) be an ambasidor of the music and love and the culture i live!
thank you and goodnight.
Just to say, I love merk
(got to love that improvised Belgium Jazz
)
ARGH! Fucking hell people!
Trivium are metal. You might not like them, but the genre of music that they play is _clearly_ metal. Its like telling someone they ain’t human cause you dont like them.
As for generalisations about Trivium fans not ‘knowing anything about metal’, not having ‘respect’ for metal and ‘they don’t know the rules of moshing’ (wtf?), have you seriously got a life that bad that you have to make Metal into some sort of cult or code or lifestyle as people put it? And then critisise people for not being as ‘metal’ as you? its YOU people that are the problem not the sure. Cause that is utter bullshit.
You always have the crusade against putting music in boxes or having naive non-metal fans for thinking all that people who dress different to them are freaks or have some sort of satanic agender (because they fucking hate you) and what are you doing now? Saying that cause somebody likes a band, they must have certain properties.
Jesus they should give screaning tests to people before they come on here. Maybe then we’ll avoid the childish comments of people with no friends.
trivium suck. thats MY opinion.
no need for you to whine like a bitch.
trivium fuckin rocks, sean ur a fuckin moron, trivium is not metalcore, they said it on an interview, things wit metal are complicating so much, gettin really into detail like hair metal, metal core, and shit like that, matt said theyre just a metal band. thats it.
FUCK YEAH TRIVIUM FOR LIFE!
why do some metal fans come out with such bullshit about there fellow metal fans just cos they dont fall in the fkn same box as them?? i saw trivium at dowload this year and there fkn METAL! all festivals are about money anyway. i say fare play to them for sticking to there guns!! and PANTERA RULE just thought id get that in!
I think it’s hilarious how much ire criticizing or loving a band can bring:D Seriously, arent you people ashamed? I personally think trivium is the most overrated band of all time, but I don’t go into a fury when someone suggests otherwise.
Goddamn fanboys…
I used to like Trivium, back in the Ascendency days; I hated the last 2 albums they made. But people shouldn’t hate them because they decided to not back down in that situation.
