Ozzfest '04
Glen Hellen Pavilion, So. Cal.
This event blew my mind.
Several problems (I don't think the promoters give a shit though) with the whole
event. The dead grass and dirt, just water the damn thing! I don't think they
will as water costs money and cuts down on the revenue generated by water, beer
and soda sales. Not like they give a shit about anyone's health as long as they
come back and spend more $$$ at the next event. Instead of hiring so many
security guards (some of whom are dickheads and deserved the severe beatings I
saw them receive (with the exception of a broken collar bone)) maybe they should have some one clean up the trash so there
aren't as many fires? I didn't take pictures of the beatings as the photos would
have probably been used as evidence against the concert goers. I did see a
security guard punch someone in the face for what appeared to me for no reason
at all. I wish I had a picture of that, I would have sent it to every news crew
in the USA. The fires (clean the trash, nothing to burn) were the main reason
why the security guards were moving through the crowds in large groups. Another
thing the security monkeys didn't seem to figure out, if you walk through the
mosh pit, expect to get grilled! I noticed that after the security and police
were literally driven out by the crowds that it was much more peaceful without
those dicks around. On the plus side, there were many great bands there and
Black Sabbath with the original line-up. And to wrap up my rant, what the hell
is up with the no camera policy? The vendors were selling cameras inside and
security was confiscating them from the patrons.
