It started off good in 1996 line up however over the years got shittier. By 2000 ( merely fours after being started) it completely sucked. Not too mention the people who attend are annoying as all hell. Just a bunch of rednecks. Rednecks and wannabe conferate muther fuckers. Which makes no sense because I live in the North. Oh yeah and I almost forgot the trail-thrash gothic kids.

Love Ozzy, The man is still Rocking out and performing, doing his thing forty Years later. And Hell, he still looks good doing it. I hope I look that good when I'm 96.
I also have mad respect for the man who will trot out new bands and give them a shot at stardom too. Ozzy seems to be real good people.

If I wanted to see an unintelligible, deranged 60 year old has been babbling burnout and a bunch of ignorant, loud , talentless kids, I'd go down to the bus station for free.

Friends of mine went and said it was a rather good collection of bands.

I think Ozzfest is pretty hit or miss. They always have a ton of bands I don't care about and Ozzy is a mere shell of what he once was. It is hard to justify going every year when there are only a handful of bands you like, plus I hate to say it but a lot of the fans act like idiots.

I went to ozzfest back in 2000, near albany unfortunately it was right around when the pearl jam incident happened and security was extra tight, so there was no moshing, and they didn't let anyone get near the stage-or leave their seats,once seated... But I will say this... as far as a show... the lineup was great, there was pantera,godsmack,static-x,incubus, and more. Pantera blew the show away. They got ya worked up and Phil by far is the best at working a crowd.Ozzy came out, and being as Ozzy is from my time, it was great,and you can't help but admire the man, but I am not sure the show was all that good. Ozzy was having a lot of fun squirting people..especially his own security with a power hose. The reception for the man was unparrallel.I was up near the front and I looked behind me and everyone was freaking out when he came up out of his chair. First time all day my husband enjoyed himself...he can be a bit of an old fart but you also have to realize Ozzy is the only music he recognized all day long. I had been into a majority of the bands for quite a while. I liked Incubus but the show was mediocre,I really expected a bit more from Static-x since I loved the album I had of theirs, but really watching the show wasn't much more than just listening to the album.If I had another chance to see an Ozzfest, I would go in a heartbeat, and leave my husband behind:)

ozzy always finds the best bands for this tour

I rank it this high not for last year's Ozzfest, but for the other Ozzfests. The ones that featured Pantera, Fear Factory, Type O' Negative, Rob Zombie, System of A Down, Tool, Megadeth, Motorhead, Godsmack, and so on. Nowhere else will you'll hear such a great lineup of actual hard rock/metal acts. Then of course, what would Ozzfest be without "The great and all powerful OZZ!" himself and Black Sabbath. The men who made Heavy Metal possible For this, we salute you guys.

Ozzfest is an awesome show, not only do you get to see one of the last and greatest fathers of heavy meatal preform but you get to see alot of current bands too. I have seen Ozzfest in the DC area and in Somerset WI. and though the Somerset concert is much better Ozzy and the rest of the bands put on a great show. Hell where else can you get inked while a concert is going on?
