First off, I must that this year i was not a
true ozzfest trooper. I go to college about 80 miles outside of
Albuquerque so i had to take care of my classes on the first day of school
before i could attend and therefore i did not see the whole thing.
When i arrived, Velvet Revolver was just getting on. I had not heard them
before at all so it was a new experience for me. I will keep my opinions
of them to a minimum, so all i have to say is HEROIN ADDICT towards
Weiland. He was so skinny and when he did his little limbo dance move i
honestly thought he wouldnt have the strength to get back up.
On to the main course, BLACK SABBATH:
Unlike last year, I did not look at reviews and playlists before I saw
them. It really ruined it for me. I was also worried about Ozzy's voice as
of the rumors that were going around. I do know he had a sore throat on
that night but he was fucking AWESOME. The year before, Tony Iommi's and
Butler's guitars were so detuned that they had trouble staying in tune,
but this year Ozzy's voice was tip top. I have seen Ozzy play for 4 years
now in Abq and this year, Ozzy's singing, was by far the best. He and the
rest of Black Sabbath were Gods among mere peasants that night. They were
spot on on everything and their songs are truly timeless and kick the
scrotums of evry modern band. They had the crowd in the palm of their
hands. The crowd sang along and participated better than any of the
previous years. Greatest band ever!
My seating was beyond excellent. I thought i had nose bleed seats again,
but it was like 7 seats from the front so i was friggin estatic. I was
also relieved to see that they, for the most part, played a different set
list this year. It was a so freaking cool for them to play After Forever.
Didnt expect it and it was a complete surprise. Tony was on my side of the
stage so he was up close and personal. I would shout at him and point at
him and during a long cord hold he shot me a thumbs up and i nearly
fainted.
Some assholes in the front row decided to leave early to beat the rush out
of the venue so i moved up with my girlfriend even closer until Ozzy said
to go crazy and basically fuck the rules so we climbed into the little
mosh pit for the privelidged folk. Then things got crazy. Tony started
throwing pics out on the last two songs. I got 2 and my special lady got
one after getting beaten up a bit by crazed fans.
All in all, i can die now with a bit shit eating grin on my face. A 19
year old kid, gets to see his favorite band, Black Sabbath, play twice in
his young life. I honestly thought they would never get back together
again, but they did twice!!! August 23rd, the greatest musical day of my
life.
Thank you Tony, Ozzy, Geezer, and Bill. you fucking ROCK!!!

p.s. Mr. Siegler, Dehumanizer is the best Black Sabbath album ever.
