Pantera: OzzFest
Jam & Riot. OzzFest, Polaris Amphitheatre,
Description
The recording is very nice, but the real
importance to have this bootleg is the next one:
Neither Black Sabbath
or the Ozzy Osbourne band appeared at
this show, but did return on July 1st for a makeup date. Ozzfest
attendees didn’t learn of Ozzy’s cancellation until
about 9 hours after the gates first opened.
"Members of several Ozzfest bands (Pantera, Type O Negative, Fear Factory and Marilyn Manson)
assembled an ad-hoc Ozzy tribute band to fill in for
the missing headliners. They performed a short set of Ozzy
covers including "I Don't Know", "Mr. Crowley",
"Suicide Solution", "Crazy Train" [Marilyn Manson-vocals],
and "Bark At The Moon". Their show lasted just over 35 minutes and
did little to soothe the disappointed crowd. Many were still waiting for Ozzy to come out and do his thing, but Pantera
frontman Phil Anselmo had
to break the bad news that the really was over.
From MTV News: The capacity crowd of 20,000 was less than thrilled with the
news, and about 1,000 of them took their anger out on the venue. Fans smashed
box office windows, ripped down panels from a wooden fence, and lit small fires
around the amphitheater ground. According to the "
"When one of the band members announced that Ozzy
wasn't here, the guys ran to the fence and started tearing it down," one
fan told a local news crew of the situation. “All of a sudden bonfires broke
out on the lawn and people were setting seats on fire, setting the wall on
fire, and I work here... not tonight. But I have to clean up all of this stuff
up tomorrow."
"They were just trashing the place 'cause everybody's angry," another
fan said. "We need our money back because we didn't get our concert."
Five fans were treated for minor injuries, one was charged by police with
disorderly conduct, and the venue hopes to announce refund information in a few
days. Ozzy's publicist would only say that Ozzy will be back with Ozzfest
for Thursday night's show at
The Pantera set was as usual was tight.....during
"This Love" there was some stripper who was giving her best dance
moves on stage for Phil and had "This Love" painted on her ass cheeks
that she proudly flashed for all to see!
After a bit of a delay between Marylyn Manson's set and Ozzy's
solo set (there was many partons who was getting a
serious search by Ohio State Troopers for a reported "bomb threat"
that was made if MM went onstage) Phil comes out and wants to jam with Ozzy's band....which seemed to be pretty cool at first. But
after the Joey Holme's guitar solo the crowd started
getting restless. Phil being the trooper that he was tried his best to put a postive spin on the cancellation but after almost 10 hours
of Metal, beer & summer heat everything came to a head! The riot itself
runs longer than will fit on a standard 80 cdr so
where there was a break in the recording from where I was getting ready to pack
up my gear I continued on a 3rd disc...but you can choose to tack it on at the
end of the Pantera cd (or
delete) if you choose.
