TRETAS \\ TRIVIUM Bassist Says 'F**k You' To OZZFEST: 'We Don't Want To Play Your Sh***y Festival!'

Metal Injection correspondent Scarlett conducted an interview with bassist Paolo Gregoletto of Florida metallers TRIVIUM on August 16, 2009 at the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma stop of this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. When asked if it was true that TRIVIUM had to apologize to the Ozzfest organizers in order to be able to take part in another installment of the travelling festival, Paolo said, "Everybody knows about the IRON MAIDEN thing [in 2005 when Sharon Osbourne and other people threw eggs at the band], the eggs and all that shit. We were really young when we did that tour. Of course, we were smartasses and we put IRON MAIDEN shirts on and IRON MAIDEN flags on our amps. They didn't like that. We didn't give a shit, we still don't give a shit."

"He continued, "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!"

Comentários: Por mais que seja por uma causa justa, é muita coragem dos caras do Trivium travarem briga com a poderosa Sharon.
