OK, finally made it to my first Ozzfest last night in hot as balls Nash Vegas, TN. I did go to Off-fest a few years back but this is the first time I got to see that kooky reality show Dad guy.
Ozzfest starts at 9:30 AM. Which one of the Osbourne kids on smack came up with that one? Metal and daylight doesn't mix, much less metal and the AM. Lacuna Coil was on at 10:30. Love to have seen them but hey I'd love to have sex with Christina too and don't see that happening. I worked till noon then took off with my bellydancer co-worker Jessie. We met up with her boyfriend and my boyfriend Madish and after some McDonalds were off to front load in the parking lot.
I'd say the thing I'll remember about this show is how hot it was. It was Easy Bake Oven in Hell Africa hot. So of course I chugged as much beer, whiskey and Red Bull I could gag down. We heard Slipknot start and closed up the tailgaiting to go in. They went on 15 minutes early. WTF??? First AM metal, now you've got bands going on early. I swear we got there in time to hear "Thank you, Nashville Good Night". Oh well. The 2nd stage was in a gravel parking lot and hot and dusty and the PA sounded like an 8-track coming thru a boom box. Thanks Sharon!
No sooner than you get past the herd leaving Slipknot, BLS starts. Zakk is the man but now the PA from the main stage sounded like ass. So I went to stand in line for a Beverage to wash my whiskey down. $9 for a Coke and a water and the line took all of BLS. Again, Thanks Sharon! Hey someone's got to pay for Kelly's career.
So I got in place on the hill for SJR. My first time ever seeing Philip. They were OK, I like SJR if I'm in the right mood. They should have thrown in a Pantera cover but hey Phil's too busy being different and changing the face of metal to do that.
Then came Dimmu. Dimmu in the daylight. That's like peanut butter and mayonnaise, bad mix. Again I like Dimmu in the right mood but they didn't really come off.
Next the almighty at dusk they die Slayer. I think Slayer's playing Ozzfest just so they can get a taste of how hot Hell's going to be. So Slayer comes on and I do my usual go completely fucking nuts. First time I've seen them with Lombardo. I popped a lot of proverbial cherries last night. They were great, sounded good and yes I got in the pit. I've got a nasty strawberry on my leg from somebody.
I was so fucking hot after going into the pit I thought my fat, out of shape candy ass was going to drop. I went and took a piss and doused myself in the sink. I heard some redneck yell out in the bathroom "Hey look out, Halford's in here". Ha Ha Ha. But alas I was too sick to laugh then. After sitting on a picnic table for 20 minutes I stumbled back up to the lawn and hurled. Beavis & Butthead were next to me and they're like "uhhh French Fries". But after the yak I felt much better. I kept filling my cup from the Coke at the drinking fountain and finally I got rehydrated for Priest.
Again, first time for Priest with Halford. All I have to say is ALL OTHER METAL SINGERS can eat his faggotty shit. God he rules. That guy is freaking unbelievable. He belted out the loudest scream I think I've ever heard. Just the best. They played all their usuals, sounded great. Oh they didn't play "Free Wheel Burnin'" but whatever.
And at last it was time for the almighty Sabbath. Never seen any of them. They finally cranked the full PA (thanks Sharon) and Ozzy was totally on and they played all their classics flawlessly. The video screens were sweet too. Every time Ozzy yelled "I can't fuckin' hear ya" I kept thinking, well he's so damn old he really probably can't here us.
So all and all great show. It was worth the money and I hope Sharon can finally get a new dog. Priest was the best on the bill. Anthrax/Reunited Priest tour??? I can dream can't I?

PS - I loved all the skanks flashing their boobs. Anthrax needs more of that. We usually just get fat guys (like me) with their shirts off.
