Our band waiting for never slept out side the venue in NY for the auditions for a week, to the point we got kicked out, and just came back each day. We made all 4 interviews they did, but never got called. It was a blast for sure.

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

Weeks after this TV show emo exploded and everyone went from baggy pants to skin tight pants almost over night it seemed.

[@rockboy360]

MCR killed nu metal, I remember I was so mad 😭

[@TheSc4ryDoor]

shit was rigged from the start, Marc Serrano from A Dozen Furies was in the band Unloco from 2001 - 2003, Unloco was part of Ozzfest 2003 line up

[@mikabass]

yup

[@samaxeman123]

really tho? are ozzy and sharon really that uncool and not willing to let music naturally flourish? come on now..

[@ericlevenchuck6212]

I’m sure the producers were like, “Guilt by Association has a hot girl bassist. Make sure she’s in the contest. Music? Who cares about their music!”. 🤣

[@jasonlinton9902]

Alot of bands got their start at ozzfest i wish i could have went to one of them they looked like alot of fun back then!!

A dozen furies.... I remember that one from the show airing as them being pretty sick. He had an every time I die shirt as well. That's just what I was doing back then ❤️

I had VHS recording of these, cinder mantis,a dozen furies,

[@CrewsOfficial]

This show needs a follow up.

[@AndrewRobinson-m1y]

I remember getting to see a dozen furys opened for devil driver and gwar. They were pretty good.

[@Skeletal33]

Fun fact: after this aired, i was called by Guilt By Association’s manager to replace their drummer. I kept in touch with the female bassist for a few years after. Cant remember her name

[@pizzaqueen9590]

cant believe this was 20 years ago 0_0 btw the moment from this show i remember the most was when ozzy snuck on the contestants bus and took a shit in it. they had no idea and when they saw it were disgusted lol ozzy was such a devil

[@steveschu]

Could you imagine the smell of that crowd in line?

[@pizzaqueen9590]

just as bad as the smell in line at the entrance of a renaissance festival

[@ovadoseooo947]

As with all reality show comprehensions, nothing came out of this....

[@deadlegs187]

Nice. I was looking for a new cringe reality show :)

[@tylerthompson1842]

Man the personality differences of these bands. One guy says “I am the band so fck you!” And another says “I’d take a bullet for these guys” lol

@@dannydarko9679 to be honest we're kind of going back to the late 90s early 2000s boneheaded mentality. A lot of zoomer are like those idiots I remember from the early 2000s.

[@AnthonyOldhandGarcia]

It comes to show back then how things were and where we were at the time that seem alright in our lives back the how we carried ourselves, but as you begin to transition in your life knowing you needed a change you knew already you had to break out of that nonsense of a lifestyle, foolish mentally that wasn't going anywhere that may have held you back. I personally know because i've been there too back in the late '90s to early-mid '00s going to metal shows and listening to these kinds of music at that time that are dark and blasphemous to the Lord, just listening to the crowd and the music in the background in this video gave me a headache and that's what it is a headache. In my mid 40's now and watching this video clip was a reflection and a reminder how my life was at the time thinking i knew and thought what i wanted and liked, and i was wrong. Reading some of the comments who say this video is, "cringe.", is right, because it is cringe. Thank God in Jesus Christ name, i left that life and mentality for good, Amen and amen.

[@boogiedaddy3434]

Wow, talk about a throwback. I used to go to Ozzfest every year and watched this show religiously. When we went to the 2005 show, we watched A Dozen Furies set and they killed it. Later on, we caught them out walking through the thoroughfare. I instantly recognized Marc so I ran up to congratulate them. They were cool as hell and signed the bill of my Jager cap. Sucks they didn't make it long term, I thought they were great and could have been pretty successful.

[@enlightened-ze3zs]

This doesn't even feel that long ago to me lol

[@TheMetalAllfather]

Looking at this now, it's weird how 90% of these bands were playing in Nü-Metal, when that genre was already fucking dead in 2004. The rest of these bands sound like they would've been right at home on Equal Vision Records, Trustkill Records, or Victory Records.

[@rockboy360]

It wasn't dead yet, I think My Chemical Romance had not released the Helena video at the time yet. Emo killed nu metal overnight.

[@TheMetalAllfather]

@@rockboy360 Emo had absolutely nothing to do with it. Nü-metal ran it's course, and the music industry started signing and promoting 3rd wave metalcore bands instead.

[@rockboy360]

@@TheMetalAllfather yeah, but metalcore never got as much mainstream recognition as nu metal did. Not even emo did. Metalcore may have filled its place in metal but Emo replaced it in the mainstream.

[@TheMetalAllfather]

@@rockboy360 Nü-Metal was a trend being pushed by the press, and clothing companies. It was GLAM, but with downtuned guitars and rap influences.

[@TheMetalAllfather]

@@rockboy360 Let's not discount "The New wave of American Metal". Killswitch, lamb of God, etc. All were massive mainstream acts for around a decade. Metalcore and emo stood head and shoulders together in mainstream music for the better part of 10 years.

It’s a little cringe, but I actually love this era of music.

[@skrrtfranklin]

Lol they select the chick that just joined their band !!!l

[@shatteredstiks7392]

Why can't slipknot do this for knot fest, but then again when slipknot has their own confusion problems keeping members. I bet Dave mustaine could do it on his tours.

[@blackphillip8486]

NO WAY! I never watched this when it was on but I saw Level C from Cleveland open for Kittie, Otep and the almighty Crisis back in like '04 I think it was? Bought their demo from their website after seeing them and they all signed it, still have it in my CD collection packed away. Remember those?! I'm old, lol. Their bassist was hot as balls 😮

[@NiKOliDANBURSKi]

The fact that only one of them gets to go to represent the band is lame. A band is a collective.

[@SonicVR12]

For sure. Just looking to stir drama right out the gate. The show was really just a backdrop for the Osbournes and Ozzfest.

[@blackphillip8486]

The one dude from Sicks Deep was such a d-bag, lol. The cat they chose looked like one too but Jesus were they of their time 😂

[@Alfredo78666]

A Dozen Phonies, Cringe By Association

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

Who knows who actually paid for this contest, but it seems like the standard operating procedure for Sharrr-onnn! - pinching every last penny and not sending all band the members. Totally f'd. How can there be a _band_ contest without an _entire band_? It would be like Van Halen just sending Michael Anthony - he was so integral to the band, but you get my point. Oh and the blonde...great to look at. I'm guessing there's a couple reasons why she was chosen to represent her band. I'd never seen this show before and after just 1 episode I can already tell the fix is in.
