OzzFest is CRAZY!

The rumor is true, rock concerts are crazy!

I went to OzzFest today and it's the craziest concert I ever attended. I actually had no idea what kind of music Ozzy made but since I never been to a rock concert, I thought it would be interesting; and it was!

Majority of the attendees are white, some Hispanics, very few Blacks and Asians. 95% of the attendees have tattoos and piercings. Cindy and I totally don't fit in, despite my black rocker chick make-up. This is the first time I feel scared for being in a concert.

I saw a few people got escorted out, three people were on those ambulance/emergency rescue cart, and one event staff with bloody eye; there were tons of event staff/sheriffs/EST walking around; people smoking weeds and snorting cokes all around us; people walked around topless (including girls), it's almost as if this was a tattoo exhibits; fist fights were happening all over the place; there were 5-8 mosh pits going on simultaneously, each circling a BONFIRE that were lit with trash, which led to black smokes everywhere from burned plastic cups; foams and water were sprayed into audience; there's even a human stampede that could rival the Africa wildebeest's. (Click here for a few pictures taken with the camera phone)

As for the music, I actually really like the first band that played in the first stage (started around 6pm). I forgot their name though. The second band was "Lamb of God" and their music was OK. People were going crazy with mosh pits when "Lamb of God" was on. Ozzy showed up last. The music was great but the vocal (Ozzy) SUCKS! He sounded like an old grandpa. Did he always sounded like that or it's just now? If it's the former, how the heck did he became so famous? His craziness? However, the audience still went crazy for him. We left after the 4th song.

I had a lot of fun. OzzFest is my first rock concert and it probably will be my last as well.
