Ozzfest 2010
Greetings.
First off, I have made the trek to Ozzfest every year since it started way back in 1996. I was quite happy to see it return this year, let alone return to Pitt. It felt like coming home being back there...
Unlike years past, I was not there bright and early with bells on. Honestly, most of the bands on the second stage I was unfamiliar with so I did not feel overwhelmed to get there early.
We (my wife & I) got there with enough time to see BLS, who were kicking some ass. We would have been there about an hour sooner, but fucking the traffic & construction was insane there for awhile.
I was pretty underwhelmed with the main stage until the Crue took it. I am not a fan. I found however, just like in years past with bands like Judas Priest, Slayer, Lamb of God, etc, I really enjoyed the show. I tip my hat to the Crue.
Now seeing Ozzy at least once a year since 1996 (except for '09 of course) I have seen him do very well, and I have seen him do very poorly. I can say honestly as an Ozzy fan or not, Ozzy was right on the money last night. I can not remember the last time I saw him & heard him perform so well. The set was amazing. I don't know about you out there, but I for one was happy not to hear "Mama I'm coming home". I'd take "Into the Void" everytime...
Parting words about Gus G.
If I were one of Ozzy's former guitar players and I was at that show, I would say, that new kid just played that as I would have & played the fuck out of it. Say what you will but I for one, am happy that he's on board.
Parting words on the 9 year old being at the show:
What a surprise! That little bastard sure can play. I like the classic Randy Rhodes pose Ozzy did by picking the kid up.
Last thoughts:
Please, let me see you next year Ozzfest at Pittsburgh.
I do not remember the correct order but here is what was played last night in album release order:
Paranoid (Closer, surprise surprise)
Iron Man
Fairies Wear Boots
Into the Void
Crazy Train
Mr. Crowleyjavascript:void(0)
Suicide Solution
I Don't Know
Bark At The Moon (Opened with)
Shot in the Dark
Fire in the Sky
I don't want to change the world
Road to no where
Let me hear you scream
Plus one hell of a band jam!
