First off, I would like to say that I think the venue made its money back with that BS $20 parking fee. With the number of cars that parked in their lot, it had to have been a steal.

Well, I would have to say that Ozzfest was ok at best. I probably played more hacky sack than paying attention to any bands. It also had been a long time since I had heard Static X live, maybe since 2000 when they played with Godsmack and Pantera. Did anyone else that went notice how bad Ozzy is sounding nowadays? I think his concert days are seriously limited. Don't get me wrong, it was fucking great to see him onstage doing what he could. But he was SO off tune, out of sync, and totally winded every time he tried to sing. The band played down just to allow Ozzy to try and keep up lol. Desire, No More Tears, and even his new one I Don't Wanna Stop were not even played. What a bummer that was, but it was probably one of the final shows I may ever see him play in, who knows. Good number of metal bands on the second stage too with Behemoth and The Showdown.

Yeah trust me, I am fucking tired. I didn't get back home and into bed until 1:30am and I had to wake up at 5:30 this morning to get to work at 7. I am draggin much ass as well as being overly sore from standing all day and being in hack circles.

Yeah OZZ-FEST was good,but yeah Ozzy is probably ready to retire.We were able to avoid the BS parking fee,we had a secret weapon with us,considering it was bs for anyone to have to pay it,of of course the HRB Beer they had was way over priced thats why it called HRB Brand,(Highway Robbery Beer)Most of the other bands did good,and yes it took forever to get out of the parking lot,over an hour at least.

I had a great time! I thought ozzy did great considering his age and heatth issues and can you imagine how hard it must be to live on a tour bus at his age. He sounded a little off key yes, but only a few times. He did great for the most part. What an outstanding man to give so many people the oppertunity to go to this show for free! I just got done sleeping ten hours.....after that show, I really needed it. Headlessgoth and Morbid Suicide got a little banged up moshing in the pit during Hatebreed. The highlight of the show for me was watching the rain of sod while Static X played. I had pavillion, so I was one of the few that got to watch it and not get hit with it lol. Lamb of God rocked out. I think they are my new favorite metal band. I hope everybody else that went had a great time too! :thumbsup:

Yeah I talked to Headlessgoth, Morbid and his gf just before Static X went on. Was on top of the hill on the deck playing hacky sack when a big chunk of sod came up and slammed onto it. The drunk chic playing with us ended up picking that thing up right away and flinging it back into the crowd down below lmao. Then the band came onstage and told everyone to cut it out like Pantera did in the early 90s for the White Zombie/Pantera/Megadeth show. I didn't see you there though, unless you were the one with Headless at the time by the concession stand.

The stage in the parking lot sounded like shit, you couldn't hear it very well and you couldn't see unless you were up close. That solo that zach did was fuckin awesome, it had to of been atleast a 5-10 minute solo! Lordi & static x were good too.

hey, i got to grab some hot female ass and see some women stripping, so i had fun! :thumbsup::cheers::swoon:jamin:w00t::drool

I got out there around 9 just for them to tell me I had to turn around. The roads were closed and they weren't letting anyone in. Capacity/Emergency issues I guess. I really wouldn't want to have to deal with all that shit on crutches anyways, but I came pretty close....

that sucks if that would have to me i would have lost it i feel for you but would have like to see drunk chick play hacky sack lol

The drunk chic that we played with bought her own hacky sack and had to have fallen almost half a dozen times, half of which was a dramatic falldown. She collided with a couple of beers and at one point we kicked the sack up and into someone's beer cup. It was hilarious along with the number of people who came too close to the circle and got kicked hehe

got there uber late but i still had a blast. my good friend J started the sod throwing on the left side between column 1 and 2. sorry if he hit anyone!

i'm still sore from LOG. I swear I was the only one that was balls enough to actually run full speed when our pit split for "black label". it's amazing i didn't die, my first pit in 5 years.

had a random experience meeting some cool ass people on the side of the highway on the way down, you'll see em on here soon enough ;)

now for the show, from what i saw of Static-X it was decent enough

LOG tore it up pretty good, dissapointed they didn't play 11th hour though

Ozzy did what ozzy could. Zakk's solo was pretty sweet too.

I rate the 3 final bands a 8/10.
