Seattle.... beautiful city, with no chicks. And the chicks that are there are all still 'grunge'. The radio has TWO stations that both re-live the Seattle heydays in the early 90's, constantly playing Pearl Jam, Nirvana et al. GET OVER IT... sheesh. Time to move on.
Ozzfest was hot as fuck.
Got there at 10 AM in time to see Devil Driver (they rocked and shoulda been on much later).
Also, at 10 AM, learned the terrible news that:
A. Beer will not be served until 2:30 pm.
B. There are no re-entry privalages.
TWO-FUCKIN-THIRTY?!?!?! WT-FUCKING-F??????
The next 5 hours were somewhat painful.
Finally the beer gardens opened, choked back a couple six-fucking-dollar Buds then headed back to see Lamd of God and Hatebreed. They were damn good, heavy as hell. I was on the edge of the 'pit' and it was a HUUUUGE circle... big enough for a little island of tranquilty in the middle. Couple dudes in wheelchairs were in there, bashing into each other.
Then.. finally... The Slipknots, the whole reason for the trip in the first place.
People crowded the stage when the intro track started.
Then they came on stage and fired up and INSTANTLY a huge pit formed.
Girls started crying in terror.
I hopped in but the insane temp coupled with running around and the close proximity of other people made me seriously concerned about passing out, so I headed to the edge of the pit.
Couple songs later some other dude in a wheelchair was surfing the crowd.
Then I turned to see some big blonde longhair knock some dude the fuck out.
Couple more rounds in the pit, couple more people passing out from heat.
Then, it ended.... 40 damn minutes... WAY to short.
Awsome, but short.
The Slipnuts rule.
Slayer was good, left before Priest & Ozzy... couldnt give a shit about them anyway.
Oh.... and BLS as all gay as hell.
