I attended the Ozzfest Festival in Sunnyvale, CA. The crowd was a little
odd. Maybe it had something to do with the Christians posted at the gates
with signs telling people they would go to Hell if they attended. The
people were subdued though. Several bands commented on the lack of
enthusiam shown by the audience. Alot of people were more interested in
drinking and pounding down garlic fries than getting into the music. They
acted alot like they were watching T.V. Some people threw water bottles at
the groups. GodSmack spoke to the audience about the lack of energy and
the bottle throwing, Rob Zombie also let the audience know what lazy asses
they were. There were alot of good groups there. Alot of groups working
hard to please the crowds, but you need to get something back from the
crowds. We were very lucky Ozzfest came to our area. I wouldn't be
surprised if Sunnyvale, Ca never had a concert again of that size and with
that much talent again.

I have had two chances to see Sabbath this year, once in January and this
last time at Ozzfest. One way to describe both events: MOTHER FUCKING
AWESOME or maybe FUCKING KICK ASS or even better, LONG LIVE THE ORIGINAL
FUCKING SABBATH!
The January show was good, but the Ozzfest show was definitely the best. I
was a wreck all day, waiting for all the other bands to play so I could
hear my beloved Sabbath. Drain STH was pretty cool, as was Rob Zombie. The
rest of the bands didn't spark my interest.
Finally, at around 9pm, anticipation at it's highest, they played a Last
Supper promotional video, and the crowd freaked. A few minutes later, the
Sabbath intro came on and more people freaked. And then the siren for War
Pigs wailed, and everyone in the fucking amphitheater, (including me) just
lost it. The band sounded totally incredible. Just phenomenal. Tony
crunched his hooks like the master he is. Geezer's bass rumbled like a bat
out of hell. Bill was beating the skins intensely, and he had this big ass
gong next to his drum kit that he just went fucking ballistic on at the end
of N.I.B.
And of course there was Ozzy. You know, I see all these negative posts
saying all kinds of shit about Ozzy's voice, and how he sucks and this and
that. Well, this night, his voice, as well as his whole physical stature
were in TIPTOP shape! He was a madman! He was doing his signature leapfrogs
and clapping hands, and running around the stage with the endurance of an
18-year-old. Simply put: Fuckin' killer!
Long Live Sabbath, and of course, Long Live Ozzy!
Peace out,
Mark
