About a week ago I witnessed Ozzfest in
Denver and was completely blown away. Easily the greatest concert/event
that I have ever seen. The second stage had some cool bands. The singer
for Every Time I Die made some comments about how "dead" the audience was
and by the end of their set the entire crowd had their backs turned to the
stage with their middle fingers in the air. After their set they stormed
off the stage like a bunch of little girls. Luckily, every other band
kicked ass. Otep has the voice of SATAN! Very sweet. Slipknot and
Hatebreed were also very energetic and got the crowd going. I was in the
pit during every band on the main stage and it was an absolutely amazing
show. Black Label started it off and Zakk is easily one of the greatest
guitar players of all time. Holy Shit, he kicked ass! Superjoint was
pretty good. Phil talks too much, but the band is still solid. They got
some good tunes. Dimmu Borgir was my least favorite.
I can't say they absolutely sucked, it's just that "Norweigen black
fucking metal" really isn't my bag. Slayer was amazing. The whole place
went berzerk during their entire performance. Tom almost looked surprised
at how crazy the crowd was. Backstage I could see Rob Halford watching
their set. He even looked impressed. Preist then played and were pretty
damn good. Rob hasn't lost anything over the years. He can still belt it
out with the best of 'em. I was hoping that preist wouldn't show up
Sabbath, and on this night, that would have been impossible. Black Sabbath
was simply incredible. It was the first time in my life that I have seen
the greatest band of all time play and I wasn't disappointed at all. Ozzy
looked and sounded great. Anyone that thinks that he is too old and needs
to retire is absolutely out of their mind. He was so energetic and he
looked like he was having the time of his life. Ozzy had the entire place
yelling "Fuck You" for about three minutes while referring to his doctors
that said he should have taken more time off after his ATV accident.
Hilarious. I saw Ozzy solo last year in Vegas and he looked so much better
this time around. It was a dream come true for me. Sabbath was the only
band capable of closing out a show like this. God bless 'em. This years
Ozzfest was easily the best ever. Anyone with testicles should not miss
this show!
