Okay.. I just got gome from OZZFEST and i will be honest..
the Venu was bad, only 1000 GA floors is not that many people to get a good surf in but the mosh was good lol. should have been all GA, that woulda have resulted in a much more pumped up crowd.
The bands now
Opening to closing with comments
Norma Jean
Good as usual but hardly anyone was there, the floors were empty.
Bleeding Through
Good set but out to early still empty and i was saving my energy for bigger bands but enjoyed the set.
Unearth
Love these guys and got the crowed pretty pumped.. but i was still saving my energy, plus the next band killed the energy.
Atreyu
They were okay but they could have honestly used a better setup, the lead singer's mic was low and again the crowd was just not pumped up.. but at least people were showing up..
Lacuna Coil
Not my cup of tea.. watched from the back though because they aren't half bad and the chick is kinda hot. mind you the back of the GA floors is less then 50 feet from the stage so great view from anywhere.
Avenged Sevenfold
Don't really like them, totally forgot they were playing until they came out, went to get food and watched the end of the set, nothing special.
Disturbed
They got the crowd pumped plus the crowd was actually a crowd. I was sweating buckets when these guys were on for an hour and a half. I was al over the floor and everyone knew that cause i was the only guy in a nice yellow shirt :-) This is where i started moshing and it was good. I'm a small guy but the big guys gave me no problems and people were good. If someone fell you picked them up. I never fell, i just picked em up.
System of a Down
I did not expect the set they had. It was so good. I would go see them again in a second. These guys deserve the money they get paid cause they can sing and play. Again moshing almost the whole set. During their set a fight broke out and security was quick on that and this big chick who was always in the pit somehow got knocked in the nose and was bleeding all the way to the end, yet didn't seem to bother her.
Overall
It was good but.. but i wish the venue had a larger GA because i had no problems getting right to the front and i like a lively crowd that moves, this one did mostly near the end but way to much dead space.
GO OZZFEST!
